“The child caught a cold and has a high fever. I am here to ask if there’s any fever medicine.” Qian Shisan asked.
“Please save the child. He’s still young, and he can’t die like this.” The man kneeled with his child.
“Get up first; come in and let me take a look.
“If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to send you all to town as soon as possible.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the house.
When the man heard this, he immediately carried his child and followed in. Qian Shisan also followed immediately.
After entering the west room, Zhou Ying asked the man to put the child on the bed.
After ensuring that the child had only caught a cold and had a high fever, she used medical alcohol to wipe his body.
After that, she found the scraping board and scraped the child’s back, giving him Gua Sha treatment.
She scraped back and forth on some of the more heavily discolored areas, stopping only when the color faded.
Qian Shisan looked at the child, whose expression had returned to normal. He reached his hand against the child’s forehead and said, “Eh, the fever has really gone down.”
“It’s good that it works.” Zhou Ying exhaled a sigh of relief.
She wrapped the child with a layer of gauze and said, “Don’t let his back get wet for twenty-four hours. To avoid infection, do not remove the gauze.
“As for the medicine, I don’t dare to prescribe it since the child is too young.
“However, I know a folk remedy. It is to boil scallions and ginger together and drink them to get rid of a cold.
“If you have a fever again at night, come back and let Doctor Gu take a look He might prescribe medicine then.”
“We do have ginger, but scallions…” The man was put in a difficult position.
“I’ll get you some.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and brought him five small onions. “Take these first; they should be enough for two portions.”
“How much is it?” The man reached into his pocket reluctantly.
“It’s fine. Quickly take the child back to make the drink.” Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.” After the man finished speaking, he carried the child and walked out.
When Zhou Ying saw them out, she saw the woman standing in front of the rack of dry white potato grains; she was grabbing some white potato grains and eating them. Zhou Ying’s face darkened.
At the same time, Qian Shisan’s face also turned ugly. They were here to save the child, but as the child’s mother, she didn’t care about the life and death of her child and instead stole food. This was just neglectful.
Of course, the man’s expression looked the worst among them. He immediately roared, “You cheap woman, did I ever starve you?”
The woman’s body stiffened for a moment; she grabbed two more handfuls and quickly ran out.
“You…” When the man took off his shoes and was about to throw them at her, the child in his arms started crying.
He could only hug the child again.
“Forget it,” Zhou Ying said. “Hurry and take the child back”
“Thank you, I… I really don’t know how I can face you again.” After the man apologized, he ran out of the village as if he were escaping.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying said to Qian Shisan, “Uncle, don’t let these refugees enter the village in the future. If there is a need for medical treatment, ask them to wait for Chengrui in the morning.”
“I understand. I’ve really caused you trouble today.”
“It’s okay. She didn’t eat much. It’s just that she’s disgusted me.
“Also, I’m afraid that the refugees will be greedy and steal.”
“I’ll take note of this and let the village chief know.” After Qian Shisan finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after the family, afraid that the woman would turn around and cause more trouble.
Fortunately, the woman was probably afraid of being beaten up, so she ran all the way up the mountains without stopping.
Zhou Ying turned around and walked to where the sweet potatoes were drying. She threw away the basket of grains the woman had touched, then turned around and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles..
