Xiao Chen saw the old woman lying on the ground, not knowing whether to live or die. He hurried over and picked up the old woman, and found that she still had body temperature, indicating that the old woman was still alive.
"Xiao Chen, how is she?" Tang Bing asked.
"She probably just fainted." Xiao Chen supported the old lady and went out of the kitchen. He carried her to a room inside and found that the hygiene inside and outside the room was very bad.
Moreover, apart from the old lady herself, there is an unpleasant smell inside and outside the house, which most people may not be able to stand.
Xiao Chen found the room where the old lady lived, and that room, and laid her down on the bed. Xiao Chen looked for a light in the room and found that there was no electricity at all. It seemed that there was no electricity at all, but there was kerosene in it.
After Xiao Chen went to the kitchen to find a kerosene lamp and lit it, he finally saw a little light in the dark room.
The light shone on the old woman's face, and she looked pale and yellow, as if she was about to die.
"Xiao Chen, my grandma's body temperature is very high. Is she infected with the plague?" When the patient attacks during the incubation period, he will have fever-like symptoms.
Now the old woman's body temperature was so high that Tang Bing could feel it as soon as she touched her head.
What Xiao Chen was most worried about was that the old lady would also be infected with this plague. She was afraid that at her age, she would not be able to bear the torture of this disease.
Looking at the old woman wearing this black robe, Xiao Chen examined her carefully and found that the old woman's body temperature was very high, but her pulse was completely different from those of patients infected with the plague.
"Sister Tang Bing, the old lady probably just has a fever, and she was probably very hungry just now."
Xiao Chen hurriedly wanted to carry the old lady down the mountain, but soon realized that there were people infected with the plague down the mountain, so he decided to leave her here on the mountain.
He also couldn't understand why the old lady stayed here alone?
After Xiao Chen went to the kitchen, made some millet porridge, and then personally fed the old woman who had just woken up to drink, her condition improved a little.
However, now the other party does have a high fever, and Xiao Chen is going to go down the mountain to find some fever-reducing medicine for her.
Of course, according to those Western medical treatments, the current antipyretic drugs may be very effective for old ladies.
"Sister Tang Bing, you stay here first. I'll go down the mountain to find a Western doctor to bring you antipyretic medicine."
Xiao Chen also went down the mountain first.
After returning to the quarantine area, I quickly found a Western doctor and the village cadres of Yangjiazhai.
This Western doctor is none other than Xie Yonghua.
"Dr. Xiao, you said there is an old lady on the mountain?"
"Yes, Tang Bing and I just found out where she fainted. Now she has a fever. Please bring some fever-reducing medicine."
Xie Yonghua hurried over to prepare some injections and Western pills to reduce the fever, and then followed Xiao Chen and the village cadre up.
This village cadre's surname is Yang and he is from Miao origin, but he looks no different from a Han Chinese.
He used to be the deputy village chief among the village cadres. However, the village chief was infected and was now in the cold stage, so he became the village chief instead.
"Village Chief Yang, who do you think that old lady is on the mountainside? Why is there still someone there? You didn't send her to the quarantine area at the foot of the mountain."
"Doctor Xiao, you are talking about Aunt Yang. We have invited her several times in the past, but she is unwilling to come down the mountain. There is nothing I can do." Village Chief Yang said helplessly.
Speaking of which, this Aunt Yang is also a pitiable person in Yangjiazhai. She is an old aunt, which means she has never been married in her life. After her parents left, she was helpless and became a five-guarantee household in the village.
Aunt Yang is also a Miao, but there is no house next to those Miao villages. Even if a Miao people invited her to come over, Aunt Yang was unwilling, so now she lives alone on the mountainside.
"Village Chief Yang, you said that Aunt Yang is also a Miao. No wonder the clothes she wears are a bit strange." Xiao Chen said.
He thought the old lady was Han just now, but to his surprise, she turned out to be Miao.
"Yes, she is a Black Hmong. We are basically all Black Hmong here, and some are White Hmong."
The Miao people are divided into black Miao people, white Miao people, green Miao people, red Miao people, etc. In fact, the ancient distinction is between raw Miao people and mature Miao people. As for the specific distinction, it may lie in these Miao people.
Dressing and even some customs are slightly different. In fact, there is no difference. They all belong to the Miao people.
Xiao Chen followed Village Chief Yang and Xie Yonghua to the mountainside, and then Xiao Chen realized that the old lady's situation was a bit pitiful.
"Village Chief Yang, who are you? Grandma has a weird personality and is old, so you can only rely on her."
"That's right, we have always sent people to check on the old lady's condition."
Xiao Chen spent another ten minutes or so, almost running back to the mountainside, where Tang Bing was now taking care of the old lady on the bed.
When Village Chief Yang and Xie Yonghua came over, Xie Yonghua hurriedly took out a thermometer to check the grandmother's temperature. When he took out the thermometer, he found that it actually reached 9.5 degrees Celsius.
"Dr. Xiao, grandma's temperature is very high, nearly 40 degrees Celsius. She needs to cool down immediately to reduce the fever," Xie Yonghua said.
"Dr. Xiao, is Aunt Yang infected with the incubation period of the plague?" Village Chief Yang asked.
"It's not the plague, it's just an ordinary high fever. Doctor Xie, give me anti-fever injections for my grandmother!"
The veins in the butt.
Soon, after Xie Yonghua finished the injection, he gave the old woman some fever-reducing medicine to drink.
However, the old lady didn't eat at all, and Xiao Chen couldn't understand the dialect the other party spoke.
"Village Chief Yang, what did the old lady say?"
"She said she was not sick and she didn't want to take medicine."
"How can this be done? If you try to persuade her, tell her that she has a high fever and she must take medicine, otherwise her head will be burned out."
No matter how long Village Chief Yang and Aunt Yang talked, the other party just didn't believe it.
Helpless, Xiao Chen could only hold off and let Xie Yonghua leave the pills here, and then ask Village Chief Yang to call a young Miao woman from Yangjia Village to take care of the old woman.
When Xie Yonghua and Village Chief Yang went down the mountain first, Tang Bing sat aside.
In any case, this fever-reducing injection is still very effective in reducing fever in the elderly.
Of course, it would not be good if there were allergic reactions. Fortunately, Xie Yonghua did not give the grandma a test injection just now, and the grandma did not have any adverse reactions such as allergies or other adverse reactions to the antipyretic injection.
If Xiao Chen prescribes Chinese medicine, this is of course possible, but the effect may not be as fast. Now the old lady is unwilling to take those Western pills, probably because she thinks they are treating her as if she is infected with the plague.
Xiao Chen shook his head, he didn't know what the old lady was thinking.
Xiao Chen went out to clean the old lady's place first and foremost. After all, this kind of poor environment is the most likely to cause diseases such as the plague.
What Xiao Chen didn't expect was that in the kitchen, he found a lot of boiled and uncooked artemisia annua.
Could it be that the old lady has been using Artemisia annua?
There is no doubt that this Artemisia annua is very effective in fighting the plague. He did not expect that this old lady actually knew this. (To be continued)
