The fever is getting worse, but for Chen Sanlang, the top priority is to reduce the fever. Otherwise, if the fever persists for a long time and causes complications, he may be close to death. When he saw his two younger brothers at the door, he asked Wulang to help him go back and lie down.
Korokuro followed him into the room, saw the oil paper bag beside the bed, and cheered: "Some snacks!" When he opened it, it turned out to be a few pieces of peach cake. For a child who couldn't eat enough, it was naturally irresistible.
The temptation was there. He picked up a piece and was about to put it in his mouth, but Wulang knocked it away and said, "I won't eat their stinky food!"
Korokuro was about to cry, but Chen Sanlang took him in his arms, glared at Kurigoro and said, "This is from Shiro."
"It's all the same." Heiwulang came forward with great enthusiasm.
"What an idiot!" Chen Sanlang scolded: "If you don't eat the old witch's food, wouldn't it be an advantage to her?!"
"Oh..." Wulang thought the same thing.
"So, treat it like an old witch and eat it hard!" Chen Sanlang felt sorry for Wulang who had been hungry all night, so he handed him a piece first.
Children are easy to fool, so Wulang bit down hard and almost bit Saburo's finger.
Chen Silang was afraid that his mother would find out, so he only took a few pieces of snacks, and in the blink of an eye, the two children had only one piece left. Then he remembered that the third brother had not eaten yet, Chen Wulang blushed, and Liulang hurriedly gave the last piece to
He eats: "Third brother eats..."
"Third brother is sick and can't eat. Now he has to take medicine." Chen Sanlang smiled and asked Korokuro to put it away first, and then said to Heigoro: "Are you feeling energetic?"
Wulang nodded sheepishly.
"I need hot water now." Chen Sanlang said slowly: "I just saw that there is a stove at the back of the shack, with a pot and firewood. Can you make a fire?" He just went out to take a look. This shack should be
It is a place where people watching the charcoal-burning area live when the charcoal-burning area is not in use, so they can naturally cook.
Wulang shook his head, feeling guilty for his incompetence.
"Go ask Uncle Lu to borrow a fire." Chen Sanlang said, "Just tell Sister Cuihua to boil water for us."
"Sister Cuihua?" Wulang knew that Cuihua was a maid in his uncle's family, and asked blankly: "Where is she?" Wulang didn't understand that even in that era, no one would dare to play with fire for a **-year-old child.
"That's right, why are you asking so many questions?" Chen Sanlang glared at him and said, "Help me to the stove."
"What should I do?" Korokuro hoped that he could also help.
"You," Sanlang said with a smile, "go pick some hay."
When Wulang came back with half a piece of bamboo charcoal for a dark fire, Chen Sanlang had already placed the firewood in the stove and forced himself to fetch water. In order to avoid trouble starting the fire, he used hay to make the base. But when he saw that he had brought
It was burning bamboo charcoal, and I knew I was redundant.
Blow the bamboo charcoal into an open flame and place it on the hay. Because the firewood pile is in an arch shape, the air circulates smoothly, and the hay burns brightly, which in turn ignites the firewood. The fire is blazing, and soon there is movement in the pot. Chen Sanlang can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
, secretly said: "Finally, I don't have to drink raw water anymore..." He knew the dangers of drinking raw water all too well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, boiling water was available. Chen Sanlang drank three large bowls first, and then asked Wulang to carry the wooden bucket for water, ready to burn his feet!
Among the several physical fever-reducing methods that Chen Sanlang knows, foot soaking in hot water is more comfortable and more effective than using alcohol baths or ice packs to cool down. This is because the latter two methods absorb body heat through the evaporation of alcohol or the melting of ice cubes.
To cool down, soaking your feet in hot water dissipates heat from the pores of the whole body to achieve the purpose of cooling. One is 'outside in' and the other is 'inside out'.
The method is very simple. Soak the area below the knees into hot water. Due to the temperature of the water, the blood vessels in the calves and feet begin to expand, causing reflex expansion of blood vessels throughout the body, accelerated blood circulation, and the opening of pores throughout the body.
Sweat evaporates to dissipate heat.
He also had a careless temper. He couldn't find a suitable footbath, so he directly used a wooden bucket to draw water. Pour in an appropriate amount of hot water, soak for a few minutes, take out his feet, and add another bowl of hot water.
Once high. Repeat this several times until the calves and feet are completely immersed in the water.
Following the same pattern, Chen Sanlang was sweating like rain, as if he had fished it out of the water. It was just that Wulang was too busy, fetching water, carrying water and pouring water, all at a trot, and it would have been too slow for him to do so.
He refused to listen. A child as young as Rokuro was outside adding firewood and watching the fire, motionless throughout the morning. Saburo's body temperature gradually dropped, but his heart was full of warmth.
At noon, while his mother was taking a lunch break, Shiro hurried over. It was not hot yet, but he was sweating profusely. He put down the things Sanlang needed and hurried back. It would be terrible if his mother found out.
Before he arrived, Chen Sanlang had asked Wu Lang to bring back a piece of bamboo. While soaking his feet, he scraped off the outer green layer of the bamboo to reveal the blue-white part inside, and carefully scraped it off piece by piece.
It's just a traditional Chinese medicine, called 'Fresh Bamboo Ru'. If it's been left for a long time and completely dried in the shade, it's called 'Bamboo Ru'.
This traditional Chinese medicine is slightly cold in nature and sweet in taste. It can clear the lungs and resolve phlegm. If it is fresh, it is good at clearing away heat. Boiling water with silkworm sand and tangerine peel can reduce fever and vomiting, and relieve headaches and body pain caused by fever.
A good remedy. Most people can reduce their fever by drinking it once. In severe cases, they can drink it two or three times. Once the fever is completely gone, there is no need to drink it again.
Chen Sanlang regained his enthusiasm, drank three bowls in a row, covered his head and slept all afternoon. When he got up in the evening, he felt relaxed all over, his head no longer hurt, and he had strength.
Seeing that his brother was completely healed, Rokuro jumped up and down with excitement, and Goro grinned with joy.
Looking at Korokuro, who had a sooty face, and Kuigoro, who had a sweaty face, a kind of brotherhood that he had never experienced before grew out of Chen Sanlang's heart. He hugged his two brothers tightly...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Gululu..." The discordant voice interrupted this moment of tenderness.
"Damn, I'm hungry again." Chen Sanlang let go of his hand in frustration.
"It's me..." Heigoro said honestly.
"I'm hungry too..." Korokuro whispered.
The two children had been working for him for a whole day, and the few pieces of peach cake had long been digested. Although they continued to drink hot water, how could they be full just by drinking water?
Fortunately, at this time, the kind-hearted Uncle Lu and another Uncle Hou came to visit after work. They were very happy to see that Sanlang was no longer in serious condition. They put down three more cakes and told him: "Let's collect the profit later."
Go and fetch water. If we have something to eat, you will not be hungry."
After sending them away, Wulang and Liulang were happy because they had dinner. But Chen Sanlang's face was ugly... The simple children didn't realize that including yesterday, the hateful aunt had not given them food for two full days.
Eat it, let alone seek medical advice for yourself.
If it hadn't been for Chen Silang and his kind-hearted co-workers, and if he hadn't had memories that didn't belong to a ten-year-old child, he would still be dying even if he wasn't dead. This realization made him furious, and then he thought of the words of the old godmother in the morning,
He was even more furious. Even if he didn't kill with a knife, he still had to get rid of today's bad temper first.
After making up his mind, he stopped being angry and cooked the green broad beans that he had promised Korokuro yesterday. Then he let his two younger brothers lean next to him and eat the pancakes while listening to his nonsense about the story of "Sun Wukong vs. Black Tornado".
Not long after the pancakes were finished, the alluring aroma of beans wafted out of the pot. The two children were not interested in listening to his nonsense. They both widened their eyes and waited eagerly for the water in the pot to boil. The children's hunger at this time was what they later felt.
It is something that future generations cannot understand. Only when people cannot eat enough for a long time can they realize the tragedy of thinking only about eating all the time... No matter how wonderful Chen Sanlang tells the story, it cannot be as attractive as eating.
When they were really in a hurry, they would open the lid of the pot to see if the 'gulu' came up. They kept going back and forth, but they delayed opening the pot and accidentally burned their hands by the heat.
But at this time, the two children were also very tolerant. They just caressed silently and returned to Brother Noi. When the pain disappeared, they came to the pot again. When the steam finally opened the lid of the pot, even Heigoro couldn't bear it.
He kept cheering.
Chen Sanlang fished out the broad beans for them. Before they cooled down, the two children ate them eagerly, hissing and inhaling.
Chen Sanlang was amused and pitiful at the same time, so he picked up a pod and squeezed it to his mouth, and a few round broad beans slipped into his mouth. After chewing it gently, the texture was soft, fresh and tender, and the fragrance on his lips and teeth made him happy.
I have never forgotten it in my life.
The sun sets in the west, shining the golden light on the lake and shining on the three brothers. This moment is so quiet and warm...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After eating the beans, Chen Sanlang sent his two younger brothers to bed early while he went out to wander around.
In the middle of the night, the two little guys were sleeping deeply, but they were woken up by him again.
Wulang opened his eyes reluctantly, and Liulang simply pretended to be dead in annoyance: "I want to sleep..."
"Do you want to eat meat?" Chen Sanlang's words made the little guy's sleepiness disappear.
Why do you say that? Because in the past two nights, he heard the little guy talking in his sleep at least seven or eight times, repeating three words over and over: 'Meat, big meat...'
What does it mean to dream about it? This is it.
Wulang also woke up, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "I haven't eaten meat for a long time..." The emotion was recalling the last time he ate meat.
"Get up quickly, I'll take you to eat meat!" Chen Sanlang got out of bed, put on Xiao Liulang's shoes, and went out with his two younger brothers.
When they arrived at the stove behind the house, under the bright moonlight, the two children saw a fat and big rooster lying straight on the ground.
Chen Wulang was very familiar with this evil big rooster, because every morning, he would be woken up by this flat-haired beast, and he would have killed it with his eyes a hundred times.
But when he suddenly saw its majestic appearance, Wulang was still so shocked that he opened his mouth wide.
