reborn at sixty

Chapter 12 13. I Don't Understand
"Master, my chest hurts, it feels like it's on fire, it's very hot..."

The old man hurriedly got up and lit the oil lamp, "Come on, let grandpa see what's going on?"

Shui Lian is not at all embarrassed, her bean sprouts body has grown nothing, and she is not afraid of adults looking at her.

When the old man saw the red mole on her chest, he was also surprised.

"What's the matter? Why is this mole still so hot, and the color has turned red, girl, wait a moment, grandpa will get you some wet wipes to cool off."

For a while, he couldn't think of any other good way, so he could only use a towel to soak some water to cool down the temperature of the mole.

But this cooling can only be relieved temporarily, and Shui Lian can still feel the burning pain coming from the skin.

Seeing his granddaughter's teeth chattering from the pain, Liang Shouwang was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He had never encountered such a situation.

He had to keep changing the wet towels on Shuilian's body, but in the middle of the night, Shuilian's whole body started to have a fever, and her head was hot to the touch. In this situation, Liang Shouwang didn't dare to delay any longer, so he put on his clothes and ran quickly Go out and find Lao Yaozi to save people.

"Boom..."

Lao Yaozi and his wife were soundly asleep when they were awakened by the sudden sound.

"Who is this, and let no one sleep, when is this..."

Lao Yaozi's wife muttered dissatisfiedly, but Liang Shouwang outside didn't care about these things, "Old Yaozi, open the door, it's me..."

Lao Yaozi recognized Liang Shouwang's voice, and hurriedly dressed and got up to open the door for him.

"Shouwang, what's wrong with you in the middle of the night?"

Lao Yaozi wanted to pull him into the room to talk, but Liang Shouwang grabbed his hand and eagerly pulled him out.

"Old Yaozi, come back with me quickly, Shuilian suddenly has a fever, you quickly bring something and follow me to have a look, I'm afraid the child will be burned stupid..."

As soon as Lao Yaozi heard that Shuilian had an accident, he went out with Liang Shouwang without saying a word, took his own medicine box.

Lao Yaozi's wife shook her head in the room, "This old man..."

When the two of them went back, Shui Lian was already burning in a daze. She knew that grandpa had gone out to find someone, but she couldn't speak now.

My whole body feels as if it's being roasted in a stove, so it's okay to feel uncomfortable, but my chest still hurts so much.

Lao Yaozi saw the situation of Shui Lian, and quickly took out a bottle of wine from the medicine box.

"Shouwang, wipe the wine on the child, let me see what's going on with her."

Liang Shouwang pointed to the hot birthmark on Shui Lian's chest.

"Old Yaozi, this is the thing, feel it, it's hot..."

Lao Yaozi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the inevitable connection between this birthmark and fever was.

"It's probably caused by a cold, so even the mole is also hot. I haven't heard that there is anything unusual about the mole, but the temperature is indeed a little higher. I tried to give her two needles to see if it can Couldn't be better..."

Lao Yaozi was uncertain, mainly because it was the first time he had heard of such a disease, and he dared not say anything else, but he could still relieve the pain.

As the silver needles were pierced into Shui Lian's body, the pain in her body was relieved a lot.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, but I still make you come here again in the middle of the night..."

She was really sorry, the weather in the Northeast was so cold, the feeling of being pulled out of bed at night was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and she knew it without thinking.

Old Yaozi touched her forehead in a funny way, "Silly girl, grandpa cures diseases. If there is a patient, he must be treated in time. Otherwise, grandpa will be sorry for the patriarch. Go to sleep first. Yaozi and your grandpa Watching you from the side, it's okay..."

After such a toss, Shui Lian's whole body was exhausted, and even her spirits were exhausted. At this time, she did not force herself. When her body recovered, she would thank this kind old man.

After seeing Shuilian fell asleep, Lao Yaozi said, "Shouwang, what are you trying to do? I can't afford three meals, and if I bring a child back, will the children of this family agree?"

Liang Shouwang sighed, "Those who agree or disagree are already like this, we can't just watch a life disappear before our eyes, can we?
Besides, I'm still a child, so if we have a mouthful, let's eat it separately, and let's take one step at a time.

You said that we beat Little Japan back then because we wanted to live a stable life.

The capital city of New China has been established, so you can't just watch your life being tossed away by the Wu family, can you? "

Lao Yaozi patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I really admire your courage. In the words of running the rivers and lakes, you are a righteous person, that's all right. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me. I can help you." I'm busy, and I'll do my best."

In fact, he also understood in his heart how difficult it was for Liang Shouwang to live at home with such a young child.

Several strong laborers from other people's families may not have enough to eat, let alone the grandparents and grandsons.

Liang Shouwang sighed, "Speaking of which, this girl has a hard life, she was thrown away by her parents right after she was born.

You said that if you go to Wu's house again, won't the child grow up in bitter water all his life?
Come with me, at least some delicious food can reach the child's mouth, and you don't have to worry about it every day, maybe one day you will be beaten..."

Shuilian's fever didn't subside until midnight, Lao Yaozi took a look at the situation, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Shouwang, let the child drink some porridge at dawn, and I'll bring you some herbs later, it should be fine to drink some medicine.

This child's foundation is too weak, alas, what a pity, if it's a child from an ordinary family, nothing will happen, but Shui Lian is different, alas..."

After seeing off Lao Yaozi, Liang Shouwang stared at his granddaughter in a daze for a while before dawn.

Shui Lian slept all night, and her body felt fine. When she saw the old man got up, she also wanted to get up, "Grandpa, let me cook, you sleep a little longer..."

The old man patted her head, "Girl, lie down for a while. I want to cook for grandpa, but I won't be here for a while. When my body recovers, grandpa will eat your cooking every day. Will my body still hurt?"
Shui Lian gave the old man a big smile, "Grandpa, it doesn't hurt anymore, I'll get up later, and today I plan to learn how to make shoes with Hongmei and the others."

Breakfast is still simple porridge with pickles, but the old man put two potatoes on the bottom of the pot for the water lotus to eat.

"Girl, eat more, it's better to not get sick when you're full..."

Regarding these two potatoes, Shui Lian said that she couldn't eat them by herself. The family only ordered potatoes, and they planned to save them for spring when there was no food.

"Grandpa, you can eat one too, or I won't eat it. Your old health will only make my grandpa hurt."

Liang Shouwang also knew the severity. If he really fell down, the child would suffer the most.
