Abandoned Wife Headed Home: Bringing Fubao to Farming

Chapter 44 Measles?
The small vegetable garden behind the house was dug out, and several vegetable seeds were planted in the ground one after another, so Shen Ying'er returned the borrowed hoe to Dalan.

It happened that Ximei was also there. The two of them were in Dalan's kitchen. Something seemed to be boiling in the pot. The two of them were talking in low voices. The atmosphere was not very good.

Especially Dalan, with a sad face, seemed to have something on her mind, and Ximei comforted her by the side.

"What happened to sister-in-law Da Lan?"

Shen Ying'er put the hoe in the corner and entered the kitchen.

Da Lan sighed and said, "Hey, this man, he won't be able to live comfortably for a few days. If this thing is gone, another thing will come again, and it won't stop!"

Shen Ying'er blinked her eyes, and what Da Lan's sister-in-law had said meant she hadn't said anything.

Next to her, Ximei helped and said, "Qiaomei has had measles in the past two days, and her whole body is itchy. The child keeps making troubles, and Dalan and Laiwang are also suffering."

Shen Yinger raised her eyebrows slightly.

Children's measles is usually targeted at children from zero to five years old, because children at this stage have poor body resistance and are prone to various diseases and infections.

But Qiaomei, she seems to be over seven years old, right?

"Where is Qiaomei? Can you let me see?" Shen Yinger asked again.

"It's in the Westinghouse, let Ximei take you there." Da Lan said, she still had something to serve in the pot.

Ximei nodded, and took Shen Yinger straight to the Westinghouse.

In the west room, Qiaomei was probably tired from the night, and now she fell asleep.

Shen Ying'er came to the bed and leaned over to look at Qiaomei.

Qiaomei's face and neck were all covered with red rashes, and there were traces of scratching with fingernails on her neck.

Shen Ying'er gently raised Xiqiaomei's slender arm again, rolled up her sleeves, and her arm was similar, with shocking red everywhere.

Ximei sighed behind her, and said in a low voice: "Although this thing is not unusual, we all had rashes when we were young, but this thing makes people tormented. I heard from Dalan that the child scratched all night last night, and it was so itchy that I cried. The couple have nothing to do with each other, so they can only cry together!"

Shen Ying'er gave a soft 'hmm'.

No wonder I saw that Dalan's eyes were swollen and bloodshot.

Itching in the child's body, pain in the mother's heart, most parents in the world have this feeling.

At this moment, Da Lan came in with a pot, the pot was steaming and smelled like mugwort leaves.

"Sister-in-law, what's in this basin?" Shen Yinger asked.

Da Lan sighed and said, "It's the water boiled by mugwort leaves. People of the older generation say that they have to use this to wipe their children's body when they have measles, but I've wiped her several times, and it doesn't seem to be of much use..."

Shen Yinger shook her head, "Sister-in-law, rubbing the body with mugwort leaf water is indeed effective for measles, but Qiaomei is not measles, and the medicine is definitely useless if it is not suitable for the disease."

Da Lan was surprised, and looked at Ximei beside her, who was also full of surprise.

Da Lan asked: "Fourth brother and sister, did you read it right? Isn't this just measles, a big red patch, itchy and numb!"

Ximei also nodded repeatedly, "I also had a rash when I was a child, and the symptoms are similar to these."

Shen Yinger said: "The hives are not only itchy, but also have a fever, cough, and white spots will appear on the inside of the mouth."

"I just took a closer look at Qiaomei's mouth, and the inside is intact."

"She also showed no signs of a fever."

When Da Lan heard Shen Yinger's words, she nodded immediately: "I just remembered, my natal nephew had a fever when he had measles, and it lasted for three days and three nights!"

"As for my Qiaomei, she doesn't have a fever at all!"

Hearing this, Ximei also expressed doubts about her childhood experience, "Could it be that I remembered it wrong? Did I have a fever when I had measles when I was young?"

Shen Ying'er didn't have the heart to help Ximei recover her childhood memories, so she set her sights on Da Lan: "Qiaomei doesn't have measles, Qiaomei has moss!"

Da Lan's eyes widened, her face full of horror: "Moss on the hands and feet? What is that? Can it be cured?"

Shen Ying'er couldn't popularize things with Da Lan: "I can't explain it in a few words, but it's a common skin disease anyway.

If my sister-in-law believes me, I have a prescription here, and you can take it to the Huichuntang in the town to get the medicine. "

The two families have been getting close these days, and Qiaomei's girl often takes Little Fubao to play, and Shen Ying'er thinks about these feelings before giving her own advice.

She left the prescription and left Dalan's house.

As for whether Dalan and Laiwang will follow suit, it has nothing to do with Shen Yinger, she just needs to do her part.

Before dawn, Laiwang went into the mountains to dig for mugwort leaves. He had just returned from the mountains and had half a basket of mugwort leaves in his back basket.

He put Ai Ye on the ground and went straight to Westinghouse to see Qiaomei.

"How is it? Is my daughter better?" He asked Dalan who was guarding the bed in a low voice.

Da Lan shook her head.

Laiwang's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Doesn't the earth recipe work anymore?

Dalan went to Wangla in the next room and told him about Shen Yinger.

"The fourth younger siblings carved the prescriptions on this piece of bark. What do you think the head of the family is doing?"

Both Laiwang and Dalan couldn't read any characters, and when they saw the strokes written on the bark, their heads went numb.

Da Lan said again: "The four brothers and sisters talk about it with a nose and eyes, which seems to be the case, but the old man also said that it is measles, and we have to use mugwort leaves. Which one do we believe?"

Distraught, Laiwang suddenly remembered the last time Shen Yinger gave Chu Yunjian a horse.

He put the bark with the prescription engraved on it into his arms, and told Da Lan, "Give me some money, and I'll go to the town to get the medicine right away!"

……

Zhou Songxia didn't know where to find out about Qiaomei's measles, so she stood at the back door of Lao Xiao's house, with her hips on her hips and screamed strangely towards the thatched cottage:

"Sao Ba Xing and Plague God are not called for nothing, anyone who gets close to them will be unlucky."

"There are so many children in Xiahe Village. At this juncture, everyone's children are fine, but Dalan's family has measles at birth. The measles can be very troublesome, tsk tsk, everyone, stay away from them, don't be fooled." They spread bad luck..."

Shen Ying'er was busy in the kitchen, ignoring Zhou Songxia's accusations and scolding.

She only dared to yell a few words at the gate of the old Xiao's yard, if she has the ability to come and scold in this fenced yard?

Little Fubao was very curious, poking his head out from time to time to look outside.

Seeing Zhou Songxia spitting towards the road with her hips crossed, Xiao Fubao was very confused and asked Shen Yinger: "There is no one on the road, so who is Second Mom talking loudly to?"

Shen Yinger: "She's talking to the air."

"The air is invisible and intangible, why does she talk to the air?" Xiao Fubao asked again.

The corners of Shen Yinger's lips curled up: "Because she didn't take her medicine today."

……

The fact that Qiaomei had measles was spread throughout the village after Zhou Songxia's emphatic publicity.

However, before everyone had time to condemn Shen Yinger's mother and son for bringing bad luck to Da Lan's family, another major event happened in the village, which caught everyone by surprise!
Almost overnight, a large number of children in the village showed similar symptoms.
