Poor children

Chapter 33 Using the right medicine to save Noble

一
At noon, people who had finished their work in the kitchen gradually dispersed. Paoer and Tiedan quietly came to the kitchen. Paoer put the medicine for the medicinal bath into the pot, and Tiedan went to carry a large pot of water. , boiled to boil, and the two carried the medicine soup into the poor boy's house, poured it into a wooden basin, and soaked the whole child in hot water
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Pao'er took three more medicines and boiled them in the yard. Three bowls of water were boiled into one bowl. Pao'er brought the prepared medicine to Tiedan. The two of them drank the medicine to avoid being infected by the plague. Seeing the child again seemed to be a blessing. When she regained some consciousness, she took some decoction and fed it to her.

It was getting late and the water had cooled down. The two of them took her out to dry her and put her back on the kang. The poor boy took her childhood clothes and put them on her. She was not fully awake, but her face seemed to be a little tired. When Tiedan saw this, he wanted to go home. The poor boy asked him to come tomorrow at noon to boil water for the child to take a medicinal bath.
At night, the poor child was lying on the kang with the child, but he didn't dare to sleep too soundly. He listened quietly to see if there was any abnormality in her breathing. In the middle of the night, the poor child was really sleepy, so he fell asleep for some reason. In the past, I don't know when it was outside, suddenly I heard the sound of vomiting from the person beside me, the poor boy sat up abruptly, and hurriedly helped her to the edge of the kang, the child immediately sprayed the vomit On the ground, he seemed to have calmed down a lot after vomiting, and fell asleep again.

The poor boy quietly got up and went to the woodshed to get some quicklime and sprinkle it on the vomited objects. When they were a little dry, he put them away and dug a hole outside the yard to bury them.
When he came back, the sky in the east was already bright. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Paoer felt relieved and went to work in the kitchen.

"What kind of porridge did the aunt cook today? Why does it smell so sweet?" The poor boy talked to the cook while lighting the fire.
"The fourth lady who is new to the house likes sweets. The old lady has ordered us to make lotus cinnamon and purple sweet potato porridge. She will be able to finish it soon. If you like it, I will save a bowl for you."

"Thank you so much, ma'am." Pao'er really wanted to get some porridge for the girl in her room.
After preparing breakfast for the masters of each courtyard, the few in the kitchen sat down at a table and started eating breakfast, but the poor boy ate more hurriedly than usual.

"Oh! Girl, please eat more slowly! There is no one to fight with you, so be careful of choking." Mrs. Su said as she poured a bowl of soup for her.

The poor boy took the soup and drank it in one gulp. It must be said that Mrs. Su had been really kind to her in the past few years. She had been caring and caring for her like her ancestors, and she had really lived a good life.
"I want to ask my mother for some mung beans and red beans. Is it okay?" the poor boy asked.

"Why not? I just don't know what the girl wants these beans for?"

"Uh...it's been hot recently, and I occasionally feel dizzy. I want to boil some soup to relieve the heat." The poor man made up a lie. The bean water not only relieves the heat, but also detoxifies.

"If the girl feels bad, how can she just drink the bean water? I'll go to the street and ask a doctor to come and take a closer look at the girl." After saying this, Mrs. Su was about to get up but was pulled back by the poor boy.

"Mom, there's no need to be so nervous. I just feel hotter, and it's nothing. If I really can't stand it, I'll tell my mother first, so please don't worry so much."

"Since you said that, if you feel something is wrong, don't take care of it. You must let me know first."

"Yes..." The poor boy said
"After you finish eating, go back and have a rest. Ask them to boil the beans and water. When it's ready, ask them to bring it to your room." Mrs. Su arrived, and several cooks responded in succession.

"Why bother the ladies, I'll cook it myself"

"What is the poor boy talking about? Why is it troublesome to cook a bowl of soup? You all go to rest, and I will send it to the poor boy when I cook it later," said a cook

The pauper thanked her, took the lotus osmanthus and purple sweet potato porridge that the cook left for her, and hurried back to the house.

At this time, the child's breathing had stabilized and her complexion looked better. The poor man put the porridge bowl beside the kang and called her softly. Unexpectedly, she barely opened her eyes after calling her several times.

"Little girl, you're awake! How are you? But where do you feel uncomfortable?" Pao'er asked

But the child didn't speak, just looked at her, the poor boy thought to himself that the child might be dumb, it's really pitiful

"I think you must be hungry." The pauper slowly lifted her up and sat on her, then picked up the porridge bowl and fed her porridge with small spoonfuls. The child was also very well-behaved, at such a young age. Neither crying nor fussing, he was so weak but worked so hard to cooperate with the poor child to eat the porridge. People who have experienced changes will become sensible at a young age... After eating the porridge, the poor child gently let her lie down and wiped her. He closed his mouth, sat next to her and held her little hot hand, "Don't be afraid, sister is here, you will definitely get better."

The girl held the pauper's hand tightly and said, "Sister..."

"You can talk. What's your name?"

"Call Laibao"

"Laibao!" Poor touched her little face, "Why are you in the grass?"

"I'm sick and my head hurts. My father left me there. I stayed there for a few days and I was scared. There were big dogs when it got dark."

"Okay! Don't be afraid of Lai Bao, my sister will protect you."

The two were talking when the cook came in with bean soup, "Poor, why do you have a child here?"

"I picked it up"

"Hey! This poor, good child whose parents are so cruel? Is she sick?" asked the cook
"Uh... the weather is hot, she suffered from heatstroke, and she has been hungry for a few days, so she looks weaker." The poor child dare not let others know the truth

The cook didn't ask any more questions. She gave the bean soup to the pauper and went back to rest. The pauper fed Laibao half a bowl of bean soup and coaxed her to sleep again.

Tiedan came at noon, and the two of them cooked medicinal soup again for Lai Bao to take a bath. However, it seemed that her condition was much better today, but she was noisy and refused to go into the water.

"This little girl has gotten better a lot. I really have you. You can be a doctor from now on." Tiedan arrived.
Pao'er comforted Lai Bao, "You are not cured yet. Listen to your sister and bear with it a little longer."

After hearing this, Laibao gritted her teeth and sat down in the wooden basin to soak. The sweat on her forehead fell into the water. The more she sweated, the more energetic she felt.

Outside, Tie Dan fried the medicine and brought it to her. She took a sip and frowned bitterly, but she still swallowed it all. The poor boy was very happy to see her feel better for a while, but he forgot about Tie Dan. have not eat
"Poor boy" Tiedan asked, "Aren't you going to give me something to eat today?"

"I took care of her, but I forgot about you. I didn't leave you something to eat in the morning." Before Tiedan could say anything, his stomach started growling.
Pao'er thought for a while and said to him, "You go to the Gua stall opposite Zhong'an Hall to find a Taoist priest. I haven't seen him for several days. He must be worried. Tell him the truth about me and tell him when I will be here." Go see him every day, and then ask him to give you something to eat."

"You asked me to take medicine for free yesterday, and you asked me to take it for free today?"

"Then are you going?" Pao'er asked him

Tiedan's stomach rumbled again, "Go! What will happen if you don't go? Just don't get beaten to death!"
