Chapter 61 Health Care
"The hot water is here!" Ziyi brought the hot water, and Li Haoran brought in the bathtub.
"Uncle Du, please help Brother Du get dressed quickly after taking a bath. I'm going to get the prescription." Yi Ke gave these instructions and went out.
"Do you really still remember the prescription?" Ziyi walked beside Yike and asked quietly as he walked out of the room.
"Remember. Don't worry, when I was sick before, I used the method taught by the old grandfather to treat myself. My mother never treated me, so I studied very hard when the old grandfather taught me, otherwise I would have died of illness a long time ago."
"Don't talk about life or death!" Ziyi said sternly. I cursed Yang Huaihua a million times in my heart but it was not enough. It was a pity that he had not learned how to curse and didn't know how to curse. I felt so sad!
"Brother Ziyi, don't worry! I can definitely cure him. My condition was even worse than his before, and I was able to cure myself even without anyone to help me, so I can cure him, too."
"Yes! I believe in you. Even if it can't be cured, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side to protect you."
"You are so nice!" If the occasion wasn't wrong, Yike really wanted to throw herself into Ziyi's arms and enjoy the sweetness of being protected.
Yike went to pick up some herbs from the medicine cabinet, asked Uncle Hao and Aunt Hao to boil the medicine, and then returned to the guest room with Ziyi.
In the guest room, Du Jiankang had already taken a shower and lay down on the bed. His face was pale and abnormally red, and his whole body was burning hot. Yike reached out and touched his forehead, which was as hot as a burning charcoal. She guessed that it was probably around 40 degrees.
"Uncle Du, the medicine will take a while to be boiled. Brother Jiankang has a high fever. We need to give him physical fever reduction. Here is wine. First, apply the wine on his palms, soles of feet, armpits and back of neck. Then wipe them with warm water after ten minutes." Yike asked Uncle Du to give his son physical fever reduction first, and asked Aunt Du to give Du Jiankang more water.
"Okay! Thank you! Thank you!" Aunt Du thanked repeatedly.
"No need to thank us, we're one family. I won't leave either. I'll watch here and will immediately discover any situation. Go and help Uncle Du." Yi Ke brought a stool and sat not far from the bed, and at the same time instructed Du Qingcang how to wipe the wine.
"The medicine is here." Uncle Hao and his aunt walked in with the boiled medicine.
"Hurry, father, help the child up and let him drink the medicine." Du Qingcang's wife immediately took the medicine and carefully fed it to her son with Du Qingcang.
"Uncle Du, Aunt Du, please go and have your meal. Yike and I will be guarding here. Come back after you have your meal." Ziyi asked Uncle Du and the others to go and have their meal. He heard from Hu Haohan who came with them that they had not had a full meal in the past few days.
"You go and eat. I'll wait for you later." Du Qingcang asked his wife to go and eat, as he was worried about her and wanted to stay with her.
"You go and eat, I can't eat. I'll watch over you." Du Qingcang's wife said sadly.
"You all go and eat. Without eating, how can you have the energy to take care of your brother's health? Eat a little and drink a bowl of hot soup." Yi Ke consoled.
"Okay! Listen to Yi Ke. Come on, let's go eat something and warm ourselves up. We can't fall down. The children are waiting for us to take care of them." The two finally went to the kitchen to eat.
"Ziyi, you help him wipe the soles of his feet and palms, and I will help him apply the forehead." Yike and Ziyi divided the work and continued to physically cool down Du Jiankang who was still in a coma.
Du Qingcang and his wife came back very quickly. It seemed that they just went for a walk. "Uncle Du, Auntie, did you eat? Why are you here so soon?"
"Come, let me do it." Du Qingcang's wife took the towel from Yike's hand and asked Yike to sit next to her to rest, while she applied hot compress to cool her son down. Du Qingcang also took the towel from Ziyi's hand.
"Uncle, aunt, why did you come here so soon? Haven't you eaten?" Ziyi also asked.
"I ate a little and drank a bowl of soup, but I can't eat anymore." said Du Qingcang's wife.
More than an hour later...
"Yike, can you see if his health has improved at all?" Du Qingcang asked. Du Qingcang's wife also looked at her with hope.
"Uncle, touch his forehead with your hand and feel if it is not as hot as before?"
"Really, really, let me touch it." Du Qingcang was shaking a little as he spoke. He carefully placed his hand on his son's forehead and felt it carefully. It was still hot, but not as if his hand was being burned by fire as before.
"Come, touch it too." Du Qingcang pulled his wife's hand and placed it on his son's forehead. Du Qingcang's wife also felt the difference, and said with excitement in a trembling voice: "Really, it's really subsided a little." Du Qingcang nodded, and Du Qingcang's wife suddenly covered her face and cried "Wuwuwuwu..."
Du Qingcang said with red eyes: "Our son is saved." Then he strode out of the door, squatted outside the door, held his head with his hands, buried it in his knees, and his shoulders twitched. Ziyi's eyes also turned red, and he wiped away his tears with a towel.
"What, what's going on?" Li Haoran came back from outside and was shocked when he saw it.
"No, nothing. Big brother, you're back. Did you pick the herbs?" Du Qingcang touched his face and stood up.
"I picked them. They are over there in the orchard. They are not hard to find. What happened? Is it a child..." Li Haoran didn't know how to ask.
"The child's fever has subsided a little, and he no longer bites my hand when I touch his forehead. The child is saved, big brother, thank you."
"That's good. Let's continue with the physical cooling. Yi Ke said that the physical cooling combined with the medicine is very effective. Look, the effect is so fast. Let's continue."
"Yes, yes, go on, I'm just too excited." The two said as they entered the house.
When Du Qingcang's wife heard Li Haoran's voice, she stopped crying, wiped the tears from her face, picked up the towel and quickly put it on her son's forehead, shouting "Brother!" She couldn't help but cry again, and quickly turned her back to wipe them away.
"Sister-in-law! You see the effect is very good. I have also collected the missing herb. I will go to boil it later. You should be able to wake up tomorrow after drinking the medicine, and the fever will go away. So you have to take care of yourself. Your health still needs your care." Li Haoran comforted her. In fact, he was not sure, but the fever began to subside, which showed that Yi Ke's prescription and method of reducing fever were effective. He knew that the couple believed in him, so he gave them a reassurance first to prevent them from getting sick.
"Well! Brother, we know that the child can be saved, and we are so excited." Du Qingcang's wife said.
"Yike, do you think this medicine is enough for my age?" Li Haoran asked.
"Enough, enough. I'll go boil the medicine. I'll come back when it's done." Yike took the herbs and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine. The medicine he just drank was missing this herb, so the effect was not as good.
"Ziyi, you can go and help too. There are only three of us here."
"Okay. Then you must remember to give him warm water every half an hour."
"I got it. Go quickly." Li Haoran said.
"Ziyi is so lucky to have married such a capable wife." Du Qingcang sighed.
"Yeah, at first I thought she was just a girl who escaped to the mountains, but I didn't expect she was such a capable person. There are so few capable women. Ziyi, that brat, is really lucky to meet her." Li Haoran boasted without hesitation.
"Brother, this is not just a little blessing, this is a great blessing! Look at the cave you can live in, it is a hundred times better than those caves we have." Du Qingcang's wife also praised.
"Alas! The rain was too heavy this time, and the wind was strong. Our cave is not big enough, and the rain was blown into the cave by the wind. The water in the cave flooded the insteps of the feet. Kang'er and I kept scooping the water out. Kang'er got his clothes wet, and he was blown by the wind and caught a cold..." Du Qingcang's eyes turned red again as he spoke, and he couldn't continue.
"Don't say anything, brother. When you recover from your health problem, you can move in if you want. We found a good place to live just like this cave of mine."
"Really! That's great! I'm willing, very much willing." Du Qingcang nodded rapidly, as if he wouldn't be able to move in if he spoke any slower.
"Brother, you are such a good person! Your whole family is good people. The child's father is blessed in his previous life to have a friend like you." Du Qingcang's wife said gratefully.
"That's too polite. Is it half an hour? How about we give Jiankang some boiled water?" Uncle Hao quickly changed the subject.
"That's about it." So the three of them worked together to feed the boiled water to Jiankang. It is very difficult to feed water to an unconscious person. You have to feed him a cup of water slowly, a little at a time. If you feed too fast or too much, the water will overflow.
Yi Ke had already boiled the medicine and brought it to the guest room before it cooled down.
"The medicine is ready. It's still hot now. You can drink it when it's warm." Ziyi put the medicine on the table.
Yike went over and touched Du Jiankang's forehead, then pretended to touch his hand, but he was actually taking his pulse.
"The fever isn't that high anymore. Take two more doses of medicine and it will be gone. That's great! Uncle and aunt, you can rest assured, my brother Jiankang will get better soon." Yi Ke said happily. I am so happy that I can save people with the medical skills I learned in my previous life.
"Then, when will Kang'er wake up?" asked Du Jiankang's wife.
"After taking this medicine, you will wake up in more than an hour." Yi Ke said with certainty.
"Really! Thank you, Yike. I'll go blow on the medicine so it will cool down faster." Aunt Du hurried to cool the medicine.
"Yike, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, Kang'er might have, already..." Before Du Qingcang could finish his words, Ziyi quickly stopped him from continuing.
"Uncle Du, if we want to thank someone, we should thank that old man. Without him teaching me these things, I would not be able to cure my brother Jiankang's illness. So, we should all thank the old man." Yi Ke said.
"Thank you, thank you all!" Du Qingcang nodded.
"The medicine is warm now, not hot anymore. You can drink it." Du Qingcang's wife brought the medicine over, and Li Haoran and Du Qingcang helped Du Jiankang sit up. Aunt Du's hands were shaking. Yi Ke quickly brought it over and said, "Aunt, let me do it. You just watch."
It took a lot of effort to feed him a bowl of medicine.
"Aunt, if brother Jiankang wakes up and wants to pee, give him the basin. Don't let him go to the toilet. He can't be exposed to cold air. This is Ziyi's clothes. If he feels hot, don't open the quilt. Cover him and wait for the sweat to come out. If the clothes get wet, change them in the quilt. This is Ziyi's clothes. Let brother Jiankang wear them first..." Yike explained carefully. If patients want to get well quickly, they must not only take medicine, but also pay attention to many aspects, otherwise the disease will recur repeatedly and it will be difficult to recover.
"Okay, I'll remember this. When she wakes up, I'll tell you. You can go do your thing. Your uncle and I will be here. Thank you for your hard work, Yike."
"Aunt, you are too polite. We are family, so let's not talk about these things. I'm leaving now." Yike pulled Ziyi and left quickly. What she couldn't stand the most was this kind of grateful look.
