Chapter 60 A friend comes from afar
"Brother Haoran! Brother Haoran!" Outside the cave, louder and louder shouts were heard inside. Yi Ke, who was eating the delicious goose meat, raised his head and asked incoherently, "Why is someone shouting so early in the morning?"
"I'll go and take a look." Li Haoran said.
"I'll go and take a look too. You guys eat first." Ziyi also said.
"Yike, eat it. It's okay. Here, this goose leg is for you." Aunt Zhang Yuling picked up a big goose leg and put it into Yike's bowl.
"Yes! Auntie, you eat too." Yi Ke returned the favor and picked up a large piece of goose meat and put it into Uncle Hao's aunt Zhang Yuling's bowl. "Auntie, the goose meat you stewed is really delicious. It's soft but not mushy, oily but not greasy, fragrant, delicious, and tasty."
"You are such a sweet-talker. If something tastes good, just eat more." Aunt Zhang Yuling said, looking at the cave entrance from time to time.
Soon, there was a bustling sound coming from the cave entrance. Yike and Uncle Hao's aunt Zhang Yuling looked at each other, and they put down their chopsticks and walked towards the door at the same time.
As soon as I went out, I saw several people walking in from Tunnel No. 1. The one leading was Ziyi, followed closely by Du Qingcang. Du Qingcang was carrying another person on his back, and next to him was Hu Haohan’s eldest son Hu Xiangdong. Hu Xiangdong supported the person on Du Qingcang's back with his hands behind his back. Hu Haohan followed in closely. Before Yike could see the situation clearly, he was shocked by Ziyi's words.
"Yike, hurry up, open the door of the guest room and make the bed. He is sick and has a high fever." Ziyi shouted loudly, and he quickly took Du Qingcang to the guest room.
Yike turned around and ran to the guest room, saying to Uncle Hao and Auntie as he ran, "Auntie, boil some water, boil more."
"Oh my God! I have a fever! It must have been because of the rain. I don't know how long the fever has lasted. If it lasts too long, it will be difficult to cure." Yi Ke thought to himself as he ran.
The guest room was cleaned every three or two days, so it was still clean. The quilts and pillows on the bed were all complete. Ziyi led Du Qingcang into the guest room and helped put the person on his back on the bed. At this time, Yike finally recognized who it was. It turned out to be Du Qingcang's son, the congenitally weak Du Jiankang.
At this time, Du Jiankang's face was pale, his cheeks were abnormally red, his forehead was covered with sweat, his whole body was trembling, his teeth were chattering from time to time, and his haggard face looked as if the god of death would call him at any time.
"Oh! How pitiful!" Yike sighed secretly.
"Kang'er! Kang'er!" Du Qingcang's wife rushed over as soon as she entered the room, grabbed Du Jiankang's hand and shouted miserably, "Kang'er! Wake up, we are at your uncle Hao's house, you are saved. Wake up! Look at your mother!"
Du Jiankang may have heard his mother calling him. His eyes moved slightly, his head moved slightly, and his throat made a coughing sound. Then, nothing happened. Poor Du Jiankang fell into coma again.
"Don't shout, he's already unconscious, please move aside and let Brother Haoran take a look." Du Qingcang pulled his petite wife Wang Cuihua away and said to Li Haoran, "Brother, please take a look, please save Jiankang. He has been unconscious from time to time since three days ago, and his fever has not gone down."
"Don't worry! Let me take your pulse first." Li Haoran took Du Jiankang's hand and took his pulse. His brows became more and more furrowed as he took the pulse for a longer time.
Everyone in the room looked at Li Haoran nervously, and their hearts sank when they saw his brows furrowing more and more.
"Brother Du, this health condition is too serious. I'm not sure. How about we send him to the hospital?" Li Haoran said carefully. In fact, he already knew in his heart that the child was about to die and might not be able to make it to the hospital, but he didn't dare to say it and could only give tactful suggestions.
"I...I don't have any money." Du Qingcang said ashamedly, "Brother, can you lend me some money? I will pay you back when I hunt."
"Ziyi, go get a hundred yuan from your aunt." Li Haoran ordered Ziyi to get the money without any hesitation.
With a thump, Du Qingcang's wife knelt down in front of Li Haoran, "Thank you, brother, for saving my life. Thank you, brother!"
"Hey! Get up quickly, how can this be possible, get up quickly, we are brothers, we should help if we can, but unfortunately my medical skills are not very good, alas!" Li Haoran hurriedly moved away from the body and motioned Yike to help him up quickly.
"Aunt, please get up. Uncle Hao is right. We are family. No need to be polite." Yi Ke helped Du Qingcang's wife up and said to Li Haoran, "Uncle Hao, Brother Du is so seriously ill and still has a fever. How many days will it take for him to get out of the mountain? Is it in time?"
"Yes! Yes!" Du Qingcang nodded anxiously. He came directly to Brother Li Haoran because he knew it would take several days to get him out of the mountain. He was afraid that his health would not last long enough to get him to the hospital. Plus, he had no money. Now seeing that Big Brother Li Haoran couldn't do anything, I felt very disappointed.
"I'll prescribe some antipyretic medicine for him first, and then send him to the hospital. I hope he can hold on. Mainly, he has had the fever for too long, and I'm afraid the antipyretic medicine won't be effective. Also, I have two slices of ginseng, and I'll let him put them in his mouth and try." Li Haoran said regretfully. He had to use the ginseng slices to save his life.
"Yeah, if he had been sent here as soon as he had a fever, it would have been easier to treat." Yi Ke thought secretly in his heart. She wanted to prescribe medicine and asked them not to send him to the hospital. She had just secretly taken his pulse and knew that he could only hold out for a day or so at most, but it would take at least three days to get out of the mountain, and if the wind blew on the road, she was afraid that he would not be able to hold out for even half a day. If she could find the herbs, she was confident that she could cure Du Qingcang's son. The herbs were not difficult to find, but she didn't know how to explain that she knew medical skills. Oh no! So difficult! It's so difficult to save people. Yike was very anxious. She didn't want to see a living life disappear before her eyes.
"Yike, the hot water is ready. What are you going to do? How is your health?" Uncle Hao's aunt Zhang Yuling was arranged by Yike to boil hot water. She was not clear about the situation yet. Ziyi only found out when he went to her to get money.
"Thank you, Sister Yuling! Thank you, brother!" Du Qingcang said gratefully as he took the hundred yuan that Ziyi handed to him.
"Yuling, take them to eat. After the meal, they will go to the hospital. I will prepare the medicine right away. We will leave after Jiankang takes the medicine." Li Haoran said.
Seeing that they were really going to the hospital, Yi Ke became anxious. He pursed his lips tightly and stood up to Li Haoran and said, "Uncle Hao, Brother Jiankang's condition is so serious, I'm afraid he can't make it to the hospital, right?"
"How can you talk like that, kid?" Li Haoran scolded, but in his heart he thought, "Even the child can see it, how can Brother Du not see it? He is just a father, how can he give up so easily? How pitiful!"
"I'm serious. I had a fever like this before, and it was a grandfather who saved me. He also told me that if there are people in the same situation as me, they can also be treated with his method. Brother Du is very similar to me back then." Yi Ke said seriously.
"Really?" Du Qingcang grabbed Yi Ke's shoulders and said, "Can it really be cured?"
"Uncle Du, let go. You're hurting Yike. Let Yike tell you." Ziyi grabbed Du Qingcang's hand and asked him to let go.
"I'm sorry! Yi Ke, can you please tell me what method you used? Do you still remember the prescription?" Du Qingcang and his wife both had hope in their eyes.
"I remember. But you have to tell me first what other symptoms Brother Du has besides fever?" Yi Ke said.
"Well, Yi Ke, are you sure about your prescription? Otherwise, don't delay your Uncle Du from sending Jiankang to the hospital." Zi Yi didn't want Yi Ke to take any risks. If the patient couldn't be cured, it would be a life and he would be blamed.
"Yes, yes! You haven't studied medicine, and you were so young at that time. How much can you remember? Let your Uncle Du take Jiankang to the hospital. There is no time to waste any more time." Li Haoran also dissuaded them.
Du Qingcang thought it made sense and began to hesitate. Du Qingcang's wife doesn't care about that. As long as her son can be saved, it doesn't matter how big the problem is. She pushed her husband away, grabbed Yike's hand and said hurriedly, "Yike, I beg you, please save Jiankang. I know Jiankang can't make it to the hospital, please use your method to save him! Whether he can be cured or not, I and your uncle Du won't blame you, that's his fate. Woo woo woo woo..."
"Okay! Auntie, can you tell me what symptoms he has? How many days has he had a fever?" Yi Ke asked immediately without any hesitation. This would race against time with the King of Hell.
"It's been five days. At the beginning, I had a low fever. Because of the rain, we ran out of herbal medicine at home, so I thought maybe I could get better if I persisted. Who knew..." Aunt Du wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Yi Ke. She didn't have time to listen to her nonsense.
"Cough?"
"cough."
"You're afraid of the cold, right?"
"Yeah, sometimes hot and sometimes cold..."
"Aunt, if you trust me, you have to do it according to my method, okay?" Yike asked again.
"I believe in you. Don't worry about the treatment. Even if, even in the end... we won't blame you." Aunt Du promised.
Yike turned to Du Qingcang again. Before she could say anything, Du Qingcang said, "I believe in you too, and I won't blame you. Good girl, just go ahead and treat it."
"Aunt, fill some hot water. Uncle Du, give Brother Du a bath with the hot water first to cool him down." Yi Ke poured a cup of boiling water and asked Ziyi to put a little salt in and stir it. He then asked Du Qingcang's wife to help feed the warm water into Du Jiankang's mouth. Seeing that Jiankang's thirsty lips became a little moist after drinking a glass of water, Du Qingcang's wife shed tears silently again.
"Qingcang, Brother Hao, the child and I will go back first. We can't leave home." Hu Haohan had been watching from the side. Seeing that things had been settled, he said goodbye. "Haohan, thank you both for your help today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to carry Kang'er here by myself. I'll thank you later!" Du Qingcang said gratefully.
"Hey, if our brothers don't help each other, who will? We agreed to help each other. Don't worry, stay here with the children. I will arrange a few children to clean up your cave when I go back. I guarantee that you will have a dry cave to live in and dry quilts to cover yourself with when you come back." Hu Haohan said, stroking his beard.
"Haohan, go eat first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to continue your journey." Li Haoran said.
"Okay, you're welcome. I came here in the middle of the night and I'm a little hungry." Hu Haohan went to eat with his son.
