The master sneezed one after another in the mule cart. His wife couldn't help it any longer and said, "Take off all your clothes quickly."
"What did you say?"
"Take off all your clothes. This cloak isn't very wet inside, so wrap it in it first. Don't be so fussy now. If you don't want to take the medicine tomorrow, then hurry up."
She was almost dying of anxiety and wanted to tear off her clothes and give them to him. The boss's face was very pale.
The teacher couldn't stand it anymore and could only shiver and pull off his clothes. The moment he wrapped himself in the cloak, he sighed with comfort, finally feeling a little warmer.
The woman was still wiping his hair. "Why isn't the car moving?"
"There are so many cars, and no one is giving way to anyone else. Doesn't that mean no one can move?"
The teacher was not surprised. Whenever there was a big event in the city, the intersection would be blocked by horse-drawn carriages and mule carts. It was raining heavily today while the imperial examination was taking place, so it was not surprising that there was a blockage.
Under normal circumstances, he would choose to get off the bus and walk home, but it was not appropriate now.
"This heavy rain really came at the wrong time. It would have been better if it had come a day later."
"Yeah, are you okay, boss? Your face is very cold."
"It's okay, just a little cold. I'll go home and drink some ginger soup to warm myself up."
The woman is worried because she is afraid that her husband will get sick.
"Xiaoyu, why haven't your father and the others come back yet? It's already so late. Could something have happened?"
"No," Zhao Xiaoyu looked into the dark courtyard. "There must be a lot of cars picking up people at a time like this. It's hard to move with so many cars. I'm afraid it's stuck in traffic."
Then he stood up and ordered the kitchen to boil some hot water and ginger soup, "Let Dad and the others take a bath and eat something hot when they come back."
"I don't know when I'll be back."
Zhao Xiaoyu felt that it would take a while, because they knew how many people were taking the exam after the two previous encounters.
"Mom, Grandpa Qian, are you hungry? If you are, eat first. When they come back, you can have a bowl of hot noodles."
"I'm not hungry. Let's go later. Isn't the food still hot?"
The old man looked outside again worriedly, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything.
It was already the hour of Xu when Zhao Dashu and his friends arrived home.
"I'm starving. Is there any food at home?"
As soon as Zhao Dashu got home, he started saying he was hungry. Usually, he would be in bed getting ready for bed at this time, and he didn't even have dinner today.
"Are you all right?"
"It's okay. Xiaoyu quickly asked someone to bring clothes to Xiao Lei. His pants and shoes are soaked, and he's still in the car and didn't feel comfortable getting out."
The people below immediately went out.
Song was puzzled, "Why are your clothes still wet? Is Leizi okay?"
"It's okay. It rained so hard that there was water on the road, so you'd get soaked if you went out. The master was the worst off. I heard his clothes and shoes were soaked, and there was no place to get out of it. The traffic was stuck for so long, and now we don't know what's happened."
It’s not easy.
Xiao Lei was given a bowl of ginger tea as soon as he put on his clothes.
"Do you want to take a bath or eat now?"
The two men felt that they had not caught a cold. They were hungry and wanted to eat first. Especially after knowing that their family members had not eaten either, they wanted to eat first.
"My daughter, Dad just wanted to eat hot pot on the road. It's warm."
But when he got home and saw that he was eating white rice, he felt a little disappointed.
"Tomorrow night we'll have hot pot and heat up a pot of wine for Dad. How about you and the old man have a good drink?"
"Okay, okay, let's eat hotpot tomorrow."
After dinner, Zhao Xiaoyu urged them both to take a hot bath, and they were busy until half the night before they lay down.
"Wife, I'm afraid many people will get sick tonight."
"Yeah, how are you feeling? Do you have a stuffy nose or feel dizzy?"
"No, how about I sleep next door? The child is still young. What if he gets typhoid? I'm afraid he'll pass it on to you and your child."
He didn't even dare hug his wife for fear that he would get sick.
Zhao Xiaoyu thought about it and it made sense. She had a good physique but her child was still young.
"I'll ask someone to make your bed."
"No, I can go by myself. It's getting cold and late, so you should go to bed."
"Okay, you should go to bed early too."
Xiao Lei felt that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Today had been really exciting and he still couldn't calm down.
He copied the answers while listening to the sound of rain, his heart was calm.
After the exam, it was too chaotic.
"I wonder how the teacher is doing? I wonder if he can still go to the academy tomorrow."
Well, he didn't plan to take a break. He wanted to continue his classes tomorrow. So what if it rained? He had an umbrella, didn't he?
The Master is not as lucky as him.
The road was jammed with traffic, and he finally managed to get through the street where the exam was held and get home safely. Before he even got home, he felt unwell, and his whole body kept shaking and shaking...
After arriving home, I quickly bathed him in hot water and then gave him two bowls of ginger soup, and he finally recovered.
The old man told his daughter-in-law, "You have to be alert at night. I'm afraid he will have a fever."
"My daughter-in-law knows."
She didn't dare sleep tonight.
The teacher was very tired after eating. He went back to the kang, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.
The woman looked at him worriedly. Should the head of the family be okay?
She lay beside him and fell into a drowsy sleep. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the heat of the kang beside her.
"Master, do you think the kang is too hot tonight?"
The woman pushed the person next to her and woke up instantly after touching him.
"Boss, why are you so hot?"
People around her ignored her.
I got dressed and lit the lamp. The man under the lamp had a red face and chapped lips, and he was sleeping unconscious.
She called out several times but failed to wake the person up, so she hurried out to call for help.
"Mom and Dad, the boss is unconscious and can't be woken up."
The people in the house quickly lit the lamp and said, "Go and call the doctor. We will go and take care of him in a while."
The old man ordered in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The woman put on her straw raincoat and went out. Before leaving, the child handed her an umbrella and said, "Mom, it's raining hard. This way you won't get wet."
The woman ran out of the yard with an umbrella. The old man woke his son up and fed him a bowl of warm water. Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
"Old man, is your son okay?"
"It's okay, I just fell asleep. Don't scare yourself."
"No, his face is too hot."
"Go get a cloth to apply to him," he suddenly remembered that when he lived in Zhao's house, Xiaoyu girl said that people should not heat the kang when they have a high fever, because the hot kang will only make the fever worse.
"Go put out the kang, quickly."
“Hey!”
When the woman went to the clinic, she found out that all the doctors were out seeing patients. There were many people with fever in the city tonight, and they were probably all students and exam candidates.
There were many people like her who came to look for a doctor. There were at least twenty or thirty people standing in the clinic. There was no doubt that there were no doctors left in other clinics.
But what can I do?
The head of the household still has a high fever, but she can't find a doctor to see?
