Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11774

Changping Village, Luo Family.

Yang Ruoqing hasn't gone to the Taoist temple to meditate these past two days because Tuantuan is sick.

The child had a fever that lasted all night. Based on her feeling of Tuantuan's forehead temperature, Yang Ruoqing estimated that the child's fever may have reached as high as 38.5 degrees Celsius.

According to feedback from the family, the cause of the illness is likely that the weather gradually turned cooler after autumn, and the child played quite vigorously during the day, causing his back to sweat.

The ladyboy in his family was changing his clothes, but he wasn't cooperating because he was thinking about playing.

Since the sun was still out, my family probably didn't insist too much. But unexpectedly, although the sun was still out, the wind picked up and a cool breeze blew by. My sweaty clothes clung to my body, and I guess it was that moment when the moisture and cold seeped into my body through my pores.

If it were an adult with a strong immune system, this amount of penetration would probably be nothing.

But when the other party is a small child like Tuantuan, who is not even three years old, it becomes very difficult to handle.

So when the child ate dinner that night, his appetite and energy were noticeably lower than usual.

However, at the time, no one thought much of it and assumed that the child was just tired from playing all day and therefore lacked energy.

As for poor appetite, it might be due to eating too many snacks or treats.

But shortly after lying down at night, Rong Gu came and knocked on Yang Ruoqing's door, saying that Tuantuan's forehead was a little hot and something was wrong.

Yang Ruoqing rushed over, touched her, and good heavens, she had a fever.

Because it was nighttime, Yang Ruoqing not only didn't ask Wang Sheng to come and treat her, but she also didn't disturb Luo the blacksmith, Wang Cuilian, or the others.

Instead, they found some cold medicine like Banlangen at home, gave it to Tuantuan first, and then used things like liquor and hot water to physically cool Tuantuan down.

After more than an hour of fussing, Tuantuan's low-grade fever seemed to have subsided. Yang Ruoqing didn't go back to her own room, but squeezed onto another bed next to her with Rong Gu for the night.

The next day dawned, and after almost the entire day, Tuantuan's appetite and energy returned to normal, and the child did not have a fever again.

Yang Ruoqing was secretly pleased, thinking that this might just be a coincidence. She was also a little proud of the medicinal herbs and physical cooling methods she had on hand, feeling that she was practically a doctor herself.

But when it got dark and it was time for dinner, Tuantuan suddenly started crying and complaining that her arms and legs hurt, and her head hurt too.

Yang Ruoqing touched her head and exclaimed, "Oh my god, I'm almost burnt to a crisp!"

The family was immediately thrown into chaos. Some went to fetch Wangsheng, while others busied themselves preparing physical cooling methods. Yang Ruoqing touched Yuanyuan's forehead and found that Yuanyuan was alright and everything was normal for the time being.

When I touched Nini again, everything was normal.

To prevent the other two children from being infected by Tuantuan, Yang Ruoqing and Ronggu moved Tuantuan to the guest room in the front yard for treatment. They decided not to go to the back yard for the time being. As for Yuanyuan and Nini, Yang Ruoqing instructed the rest of the family to keep an eye on them and not let them go to the front yard. The three children would be temporarily isolated for the next few days.

The two wet nurses who are taking care of Nini should be especially careful, since Nini is still very young, only seven months old. When she gets sick, she can't even tell them where she feels unwell, which makes her suffer even more...

When Wangsheng arrived, they began diagnosing Tuantuan, giving her acupuncture, administering medication, and using physical methods to lower her fever...

Tuan Tuan's body temperature kept fluctuating, rising and falling, and every change in his temperature tugged at the hearts of the whole family... Sun said, "Keep him taking his medicine. I'll go to the Taoist temple, or maybe I'll go to the Black Snake's shrine to burn incense and see what's going on?"

Yang Ruoqing said to Sun Shi, "Mother, don't go. Wangsheng has already told us about Tuantuan's condition. It's just that the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the child caught a cold. It has nothing to do with any strange things."

"Besides, whose child doesn't get sick sometimes? It's still within a normal and controllable range, so don't go to the Black Snake Shrine in the mountains and make things difficult for them."

Only when something is beyond human control and normal understanding, and there is absolutely no other way, can one try burning incense and praying to Buddha or the spirits of mountains and rivers for help.

Furthermore, even gods, or mountain spirits like the Black Snake and Green Snake, are not necessarily omnipotent and grant every request.

If they were omnipotent, then the black serpent wouldn't have been stopped by a single dragon-slaying sword...

“Qing’er’s mother, listen to Qing’er. We should only go to worship the gods if it’s absolutely necessary.” Wang Cuilian also advised from the side, “If it’s a normal matter, we should deal with it in the normal way. I heard a saying that sometimes certain things like to gather near the places where gods and Buddhas are located.”

"It's better if we don't go to worship. If we worship too much, we might get involved with something unclean or evil that we shouldn't get involved with, and it would be even worse if something strange came back to us."

Well, Wang Cuilian's words startled Sun Shi, who immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to worship the gods.

"Auntie, Mother, you should go back and rest first. Ronggu and I will stay here to take care of Tuantuan." Yang Ruoqing yawned. Tuantuan was sick and not in good spirits, so she and Ronggu took turns carrying the child around the room.

While one person is carrying a child and walking around the room, the other person can take the opportunity to lie down on the bed next to them for a while and rest.

Wang Cuilian and Sun Shi came to see the child out of concern, but Yang Ruoqing didn't have the energy to continue chatting with them, and besides, Tuantuan was more suited to a quiet environment to recuperate.

Wang Cuilian said, "I don't have anything to do outside. Let me stay. I'll hold Tuanbao for a while, and you and Ronggu can go and take a nap."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "Auntie, forget it. Tuantuan weighs over 30 pounds now. Your arms will hurt if you carry her for too long."

Ms. Sun said, "And me too. We take turns holding him. The baby isn't comfortable sleeping in bed, so we hold him to sleep."

"You and Aunt Rong should go and rest. Even just an hour or two of sleep would be good. Go ahead, otherwise you won't be able to handle staying up all night taking care of the children."

Wang Cuilian nodded repeatedly. The child was fine during the day. After taking the medicine and getting the acupuncture, he didn't have much of a fever, and even if he did, it was just a low-grade fever.

But I'm afraid it will relapse at night, and then the adults won't be able to sleep.

If Qing'er and Rong Gu don't get enough rest during the day, how will they be able to stay up at night!
Faced with the insistence of her two elders and the reasons they gave, Yang Ruoqing thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

Wang Sheng said that recently, many elderly people, children, and those with weak constitutions in the surrounding villages have fallen ill.

Moreover, following this pattern, it may take seven or eight days to fully recover, and the fever will recur repeatedly.

"Alright, then Mom, Auntie, you'll have to go through the trouble. Ronggu, come on, let's go to the guest room next door and take a nap."

We left this guest room for them to take care of Tuantuan. There were two other guest rooms next door, which were fully equipped with beds, bathtubs, and other amenities.

This was a place the Luo family had prepared to accommodate their guests, and it came in handy this time when Tuantuan was sick.
