The autumn heat is severe.
After lunch, they took a short rest. Some people were too lazy to go home, so they just found a big tree and lay under it, covering their faces with straw hats.
It would be better if there was some cool breeze at this time.
There is wind, and it's hot.
After resting, we continued working in the rice fields.
The educated youth sighed and felt a little uncomfortable after only working for half a day.
This will take several days.
Gan Tiantian's rosy face became even redder when exposed to the sun.
Not long after I started working, I suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell into the field.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiyi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dropped the sickle and hugged her.
Shen Zhaodi also saw it, but her movements were not as quick as Xu Zhiyi's.
Xu Zhiyi quickly carried Gan Tiantian to the shade of a tree, unbuttoned a button on her shirt, and wiped her sweat with a towel.
"She has heatstroke. Let her take some time off first."
Shen Zhaodi folded her hat and fanned her.
Their movements attracted the attention of people working nearby, who all looked over here.
The team leader came to see what was going on and found out that he had heatstroke.
He had no choice but to let them rest.
Just then the water delivery man arrived, and the workers hurried forward to get the water in their own bowls and drink it.
We brought our own bowls. There was a well next to the cafeteria for lunch, so we washed our own bowls after eating.
The water is warm, which is good in this weather, and has a light salty taste.
It’s too hot today, and there’s no choice but to drink some light salt water to avoid heatstroke.
But the effect is not very obvious.
In the afternoon, several people fell into a coma due to heat stroke.
It's especially hot this year.
Many people suffered from heatstroke, which naturally delayed the rice harvest.
The village chief was a little worried. Did he really have to go to the hospital to buy some medicine for heatstroke?
The village chief is really short of money when it comes to spending money.
Just when the village chief was about to grit his teeth and take some money from the stingy old accountant to go to the county to buy medicine.
Xu Zhiyi came over.
It turned out that Miao Feng was among those who suffered from heatstroke today.
All the people in their cowshed were arranged to go to the fields to harvest rice.
Although Miao Feng's health has improved since his last coma, he is still a little weak.
The work was tiring and hot, and he suddenly suffered from heatstroke and fell into a coma.
But Chu Jueming was scared.
It would have been better if he knew it was heatstroke, as he knew how to treat and prevent it, and it was too late to go collect herbs.
He could secretly make the medicine and give it to them to drink.
But this job is really tiring. Chu Jueming feels sorry for his wife and wants to see if he can give her a lighter job.
Chu Jueming told this to Xu Zhiyi who came to see his master's wife.
Xu Zhiyi thought this was feasible and it would provide an excuse to go up the mountain to collect herbs.
Make some herbal tea and everyone in the village can drink it.
Chu Jueming also knew that herbal tea could prevent heatstroke, but he didn't know whether the village chief was willing.
Xu Zhiyi asked the master to wait a little longer until she went to talk to the village chief.
It was already dark when I got off work, and it was even darker when I came back after visiting my master's wife.
She still took a flashlight with her when she went out.
Then he ran to the village chief's house.
"Zhiyi, what's the matter that brings you here so late?" Aunt Wang said as she opened the door.
"Auntie, I have something to ask the village chief."
The village chief has not gone to bed yet and is just washing his feet.
"Xu Zhiqing, what's the matter?" the village chief asked, holding a pipe in his hand.
"Village head, the weather is too hot. Many people have suffered from heatstroke. Is there any way to prevent it? Two comrades at our educated youth site also suffered from heatstroke today."
"I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to see if I can buy some medicine."
The village chief was thinking about this matter and was just thinking about it when Xu Zhiyi arrived.
"What? What can you do?"
No one comes to visit you for no reason, so she always comes to ask questions.
"Uncle village chief, I accidentally saw an old man in the cowshed making medicine. I went to ask him and found out that it was medicine his wife was sick and he made it himself."
Xu Zhiyi concealed the relationship between Chu Jueming and her.
"Oh? I went to see him this afternoon. He said he could make herbal tea. If we each drink a bowl, it will guarantee we won't get a heat stroke."
"Well... this person was sent down from the countryside. Is it any use looking for him?" The village chief tapped the pipe in his hand.
"Uncle, that man used to be from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His ancestors treated the emperor."
Xu Zhiyi lowered his voice.
"Just let him try. Otherwise, if he gets heatstroke again, the villagers will suffer. Besides, as a sent-down person, he should contribute to the villagers."
"Don't you also know how to treat illnesses?" The village chief was still a little hesitant.
"Uncle, I'm only half-baked. I've only learned a few basics. I don't even know how to make herbal tea."
Xu Zhiyi was trying to please others and act cute.
"Then let him try."
Xu Zhiyi was still looking at him, "Uncle, there is one more thing..."
"What else do you want? Don't be so hesitant, girl."
"That man's wife is not in good health. Can you give her a lighter job?"
"You don't even know if this will work, and you're still thinking about changing your life? Forget it. Let's wait until the herbal tea he brews works, and then we'll talk about it."
The village chief ignored them, was not strict with them, and did not allow the villagers to bother them. This was enough to prove that the village chief still had some kind of protection for these people.
The village chief is a good village chief, so Xu Zhiyi naturally believes what he says.
"Okay, uncle, you are truly a good village chief who understands the bigger picture and is dedicated to serving the people. Tomorrow morning I will supervise him collecting herbs and making herbal tea."
Xu Zhiyi flattered the village chief.
"Come on, I'm not as good an old man as you say. If it's useless, nothing I say will work."
