Chapter 9 Smelly Ai for Relieving Fever

"Sister-in-law, Hao'er has a high fever, and I'm using diluted white wine to cool him down!" Su Kefang held back his breath and explained.

cool down?

Jia Shi was stunned, and woke up like a dream after smelling the wine. It turned out that she had wrongly blamed this girl!
Seeing the embarrassment and annoyance on Jia Shi's face, Su Kefang sighed secretly, after all, sister-in-law still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Fang'er, my sister-in-law was too anxious just now, don't take it to heart." Mrs. Jia is not a coy person, if she made a mistake, she made a mistake, and apologized to her sister-in-law in person.

"Sister-in-law, if you care about it, you will be confused. I will take care of it. It's just that this wine was wasted."

"Your brother has already gone to Luohe Village on the mountain to look for Dr. Cheng, Hao'er will be fine! It will be fine!" Jia stepped forward to put the clothes back on for her son with a pale face.

Dr. Cheng went to Luohe Village for outpatient visits?Su Kefang was stunned.

No wonder Yu'er has been gone for so long.

Immediately, Su Kefang frowned tightly again.

As far as she knew, it took nearly an hour to go back and forth from Luohe Village to Fengguo Village, and Hao'er had already been burned like this, so how could it be delayed any longer?
"Haoer——" Lu Shi ran slowly because she was old, and she rushed into the room sweating profusely, with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Mother, get some cold water to apply to Hao'er, and I'll come as soon as I go." Su Kefang walked out of the yard and went to the back of the house.

She remembered that there was a large piece of stinky wormwood growing behind the house. When she and her master had a fever on the mountain, they used to rub their bodies with stinky wormwood leaves to reduce the fever.

It was the end of March at this time, and the leaves of the stinky moxa were still very tender. Su Kefang didn't care about anything, and pulled up the stinky moxa by its roots.

Su Kefang took the stinky moxa back to the house, rubbed the leaves off the stalks, and shouted: "Sister-in-law, quickly take off Hao'er's clothes."

Jia Shi took a look at the smelly moxa, then took off the clothes on his son.

She also recognizes this wormwood, it can indeed dissipate heat, but she is not sure whether it can reduce the fever.

"Mother, make some stinky moxa and boil water for Hao'er to drink. It will definitely work if you do it together!" Su Kefang said hastily while rubbing Hao'er's body.

Doctor Cheng still doesn't know if he can come back quickly, so he can't be relied on!
"Okay, I'll go right away." Lu Shi didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly grabbed a handful of stinky mugwort leaves and entered the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, when Hao'er drank the stinky moxa water, let's send him to the town clinic!" Su Kefang said.

Fever is no more than other symptoms of wind and cold. In this dynasty with backward medical equipment, a little carelessness can be fatal.

"Let's look at it later." Jia's eyes were red.

It takes half a day's walk from here to the town. Even if she borrows a bullock cart, she doesn't know if her son's body can withstand the bumps?So unless she had to, she would not send her son to the town.

Su Kefang didn't know what Jia Shi was thinking, so he nodded.

After feeding Hao'er the stinky moxa water, Lu wrapped Hao'er's body in a quilt, and after a while, Hao'er began to sweat.

Jia poked his son's forehead from time to time, and after poking it countless times, he exclaimed in surprise, "The fever seems to have subsided a bit!"

Su Kefang also stretched out his hand to Hao'er's forehead, with a relieved smile on his face: "It's a bit back!"

Although it has only receded a little bit, at least it will not continue to burn up.

"God bless, God bless!" Lu Shi also heaved a sigh of relief.

This is her only grandson. If something happens to this child, she doesn't know how to survive.

Hearing the voice, Hao'er slowly opened his eyes. After seeing Su Kefang beside the bed, his eyes widened. After a while, he burst into tears with a "wow": "Auntie, why did you come to see me?"

Su Kefang was dumbfounded by Su Sihao's sudden crying. Seeing his grandson crying aggrievedly, Mrs. Lu hurriedly coaxed him distressedly: "Good boy, your aunt was injured a while ago and couldn't come to see you. Now she is injured. Well, I can see you often in the future."

As Lu said, she winked at her daughter, and Su Kefang subconsciously looked at her sister-in-law. She didn't know if her sister-in-law welcomed her or not?

In order to make up for the impulsiveness just now, Jia pursed her lips and said, "Since Hao'er misses you, come here."

"Okay, from now on, my aunt will come to see Hao'er every day." Su Kefang rubbed Hao'er's head happily, and coaxed softly.

Sister-in-law is not a duplicity person, since she opened her mouth, it means that she is sincerely welcome.

While speaking, Su Kebin had already led Dr. Cheng into the house.

"Doctor Cheng, you're here, let's show Haoer quickly." Lu's sharp eyes saw Doctor Cheng first, and hurriedly gave up his seat.

Because of Hao'er's illness, the Su family and Dr. Cheng were already familiar with each other, so Mrs. Lu didn't show any courtesy to him.

"Why did you have a fever again a few days after you recovered?" Dr. Cheng put the medicine box at the end of the bed, and stretched out his hand to feel Hao'er's pulse.

"I've been busy with the field work these days, so I haven't taken care of the children, maybe it's because of the wind." Jia blamed herself very much.

The child is not in good health, no matter how busy she is, she should not ignore the child.

After a while, Doctor Cheng withdrew his hand, and Lu quickly asked, "Doctor Cheng, when will Hao'er's fever go away?"

"Did you give Hao'er the stinky moxa soup?" Dr. Cheng answered the wrong question. He could smell the smell of stinky moxa as soon as he entered the room, and now he saw the stinky moxa root left in front of the bed, so it's not difficult to guess.

"That's right, Hao'er burned so badly just now, we really have no choice but to use stinky moxa to try." Lu Shi said.

"Smelly moxa can indeed reduce fever, and it is easy to find. If Hao'er has a severe fever in the future and I can't catch up, you can still use stinky moxa to take him first, but it is not suitable to drink it often, otherwise Hao'er's spleen and stomach will be damaged. I'm afraid I can't stand it."

Smelly moxa is cold in nature, Hao'er's body is not good, taking too much will be harmful instead of beneficial.

Dr. Cheng opened the medicine box, took out a pen and ink, wrote a list and handed it to Su Kebin, and said in a very official way: "Hao'er's fever was caused by getting angry, and the fever has subsided for the time being, but he still needs to drink a few more medicines." , Drink plenty of water on weekdays."

Su Kebin paid Dr. Cheng's consultation fee and sent him out, and Su Kefang also followed.

After leaving the yard, Su Kefang stopped Dr. Cheng, and asked unwillingly, "Doctor Cheng, will Hao'er get better?"

Doctor Cheng glanced at Su Kefang with a complicated expression, then looked at Su Kebin, saw Su Kebin nodded, and then said: "I still say the same thing, it may be very difficult to cure the root cause of Hao'er's illness, unless there is a good one." The medicinal materials are hanging, otherwise..."

Doctor Cheng paused and sighed: "Otherwise, I can last for three or four years at most."

Doctor Cheng knew that what he said was in vain. In their situation, it would be nice if they could afford a ginseng. Haoer's body was a bottomless pit, which they could not afford to fill.

Although it was not the first time Su Kebin heard this, his heart still couldn't stop the pain at this moment, and he said sadly after a while: "Dr. Cheng is here, but please don't tell the child the truth. After he knows it, it will affect his body."
