There was no shortage of food on the way to escape, and the lucky lady was busy farming.

Chapter 61 Fever
Song Rutang and Yang Pinyan hurriedly put down the things in their hands and went to take a look. They saw several men at the door carrying a thin young man on their shoulders.

The thin man was unconscious, his eyes were closed, his face was unusually flushed, his teeth were clenched, and blue veins were visible on his forehead.

The middle-aged man was carrying him, his back was soaked with sweat, he lifted the thin man up again, and said anxiously:

"Do you have any antipyretic medicine at home? We were all hired by Yang Mansion to chop wood. Unexpectedly, Shunzi fainted while chopping wood. Only when he touched it did he realize that he was very hot.

It turned out that this kid caught a cold last night and had a high fever today, but he never mentioned it and fainted after being unable to bear it.If there is no antipyretic medicine at home, we will take Shunzi to the medical clinic. "

The middle-aged man blamed himself very much.

Shunzi had been looking gloomy since the morning. He just thought it was because Shunzi didn't sleep well at night, and he always told Shunzi to cheer up and not chop less firewood than others.

Yang Mansion pays wages according to firewood.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt even more regretful.

It's all thanks to himself that he confused Yinzi. If he had discovered something was wrong with Shunzi in the morning and asked more questions, Shunzi wouldn't be so burned now.

The escape was so hard, and the days were slowly getting through, but now Shunzi fell into the snow because of his own negligence. If something really happened to Shunzi, how could he explain it to Shunzi's mother?
Feeling the hot temperature of Shunzi's body, the man felt anxious, and he was afraid that he would lose his wages and not have money to buy medicine, so he stated again and again:
"You two little ladies, you all saw us coming down from the mountain. I asked my brother to guard the firewood we chopped. Don't forget to calculate our wages when the time comes!"

Song Rutang thought for a moment, took out the antipyretic pills he had obtained earlier, and stepped aside:
"Bring him in first and take some medicine. Just put the firewood in the courtyard. I'll calculate the money for you later."

The middle-aged man looked at the antipyretic pills in her hand and felt moved in his heart.

The pills were in a porcelain bottle, and they were expensive at first glance. Not only did the young lady not resent them for missing work, but she also gave her son the medicine. This young lady was so kind!

Yang Pinyan took the initiative to bring people to his brother's house:

"Come to Xiangnuo's house, he won't be back for a few days."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Sun Ping thanked him repeatedly and hurriedly carried Shunzi into the house, carefully placing him on the wooden floor of the outer room.

Fortunately, Shunzi could still swallow. Sun Ping gave him the medicine and waited with his cheek in hand, feeling a little drowsy.

Not long after, Shunzi opened her eyes. She felt a burning pain in her throat, and her whole body felt weak. She only felt that her body was hot. She sat up slowly with support on her body, only to realize that her surrounding environment had changed.

She was covered with a thick quilt, and it was warm inside. She hadn't felt this kind of warmth for a long time, and Shunzi was reluctant to leave.

Looking at the head lying at the end of the bed, it was really hard to see clearly in the dim environment. Shunzi squinted his eyes and confirmed for a while before shouting:

"father?"

Sun Ping suddenly raised his head, his sleepiness dissipated completely:
"Are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? If not, dad will go chop some more firewood and save more money for us to rent a small yard to live in."

Shunzi shook his head and struggled to get up:
"It doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore. I'll go with you."

"Don't even go," Song Rutang walked in from outside with a rice bowl in hand and said with a smile:

"Eat something. It's already dark outside. It might be dangerous to go up the mountain again. I'll give you your wages right now."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Sun Ping still felt a little regretful.

It's just that it's already dark outside. If I go there, I'm afraid it won't be possible to come back for a while.

With a sigh, he had no choice but to take the rice bowl, hand it to Shunzi and ask him to eat.

Another burst of gratitude.

Shunzi didn't eat much. He ate a piece of pancake and a few mouthfuls of bacon, then handed the rest of the meal to Sun Ping for him to eat.

Sun Ping was not embarrassed to eat more. He ate a little and wanted to give it back to Song Rutang, but he was also afraid that the leftovers would be disliked by others. He hesitated for a long time and said with a shy smile:
"If you don't mind, noble man, can you and I take away the remaining bowl of bacon?" Song Rutang saw what they meant and shook her head:
"It's okay, you can just eat. There is still a lot in the kitchen at the back. There is quite a lot left. Eat more and help us share some of the pressure, otherwise the meat will go bad."

Sun Ping's eyes suddenly became moist.

How could he not know what the little lady meant?To save face for them!
"Then I'll go give it to my brother..."

Yang Pinyan walked in from outside. He laughed when he heard this and said cheerfully:
"He has already eaten. Just feel free to eat. Once you have filled your stomach, you will have to go up the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow."

Sun Ping's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Can you still go tomorrow?"

"If you can go, it will last for several days. You two should eat more and get well in shape. Otherwise, you will be unable to chop wood tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Good good!"

Sun Ping was also cheerful, neatly dividing the meal into two portions, and ate the small portion himself. After a while, he even touched Shunzi's head.

The high fever has indeed subsided a lot.

"Although the fever has subsided, the disease is still not cured. It would be better for you two to see a doctor again."

"no, I'm fine,"

Sun Ping and Shunzi shook their heads almost at the same time, swallowed the last mouthful of rice, waved their hands and said:

"I'll just do more work tomorrow and sweat a little bit."

"Alright."

Song Rutang stood up without much persuasion. Seeing that the two men were also preparing to leave, Song Rutang wanted to discuss something with Yang Pinyan.

He didn't show too much in front of the two men. He walked them all the way out of the door and was thanked again.

When they walked away, Song Rutang turned to look at Yang Pinyan. Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, she spoke first:

"Perhaps grandma needs to hire someone to guard the yard in winter. The weather is very unusual. I'm afraid I really need to prepare in advance."

Yang Pinyan smiled and said with curved eyebrows:
"I also have this intention. I will definitely talk to my grandmother when she comes back."

Song Rutang nodded, looked up at the courtyard wall that was half a person's height, and squinted his eyes.

Instead of raising a group of house thieves who might as well take firewood in the cold weather, it would be better to hire Sun Ping and Zhuang Mang and a group of people.

At least I am kind to them.

Thinking of Zhuang Mang, Song Rutang pursed her lips.

It's been a long time since I've seen that group of people, maybe those little kids haven't been seen for a long time, maybe... my kindness can be ignored to Zhuang Mang.

I guess it would be better to cultivate a group of trustworthy talents.

Looking up at the scattered snowflakes in the sky, the ominous omen in Song Rutang's heart became more and more serious.

It has been raining for a whole day. Although it has not rained much, it cannot last for a long time. If it continues like this, I don’t know how to survive in the future.

There was another shouting outside:

"Not good! Not good!"
