Li hadn't woken up yet, and Cheng Jinhao and the others started to have fever. Everyone was anxiously surrounding the children, and the whole cave was in chaos.

Seeing that the children's temperatures were getting higher and higher, Cheng Laoer panicked and wanted to ask Cheng Erfu to come over.

"Second brother, wait a minute. Your eldest brother and his family haven't recovered yet. The plague is still contagious. If we rashly invite your second uncle over and infect everyone, wouldn't our family become the sinner of the Cheng family?"

When Old Man Cheng saw him running out, he hurriedly stopped him.

"What should I do? I can't just watch the children burn like this. What if something bad happens to them... Oh!"

Cheng Laoer stomped his feet hard, held his head with both hands, and squatted at the entrance of the cave in despair. When he thought of the children in the village who had become idiots because they did not receive timely treatment for fever, and looked at the children who had been burned like shrimps, he, who had always been calm and composed, lost his mind.

At this time, Cheng Zeli brought out a pot of water. He found some antipyretic medicine suitable for children in the medicine box. To prevent others from seeing it, he dissolved the medicine in the water.

The children had a fever and needed to replenish water. I made some salt water and quickly fed them. Then I took five bowls and poured an approximate amount of water into each according to the age of the children.

No one suspected anything and they all took the water and carefully fed it to the children.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after feeding them a bowl of water, the children’s breathing sounded much smoother and their frowning brows relaxed.

The dragon and phoenix soup in the pot was cooked, and the rich aroma penetrated everyone's nose, but no one had the desire to eat.

"Old Five, go check if the soup in the pot is cooked. If it is, send some soup over there."

Old Man Cheng frowned, holding the empty broken pipe in his mouth, and turned to instruct Cheng Laowu.

"understood!"

Cheng Laowu responded listlessly and walked towards the kitchen with drooping shoulders.

"How are the kids, are they awake?"

Cheng Dafu had already finished his lunch and was walking in from outside the cave with his hands behind his back.

"It was burning, and there was no medicine, so I just fed him some salt water."

"Oh, we can't just keep burning it like this, we have to think of a way."

When Cheng Dafu heard this, he paced back and forth at the door anxiously.

"What can we do? My second brother is still on the other side and can't come over. I don't know anything about medicine."

After saying that, the two old men squatted at the entrance of the cave, with wrinkled faces and staring at each other.

"Um......."

Suddenly, Li uttered a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Zeli stepped forward happily, put his hand on Li's forehead, and felt the normal temperature.

"He'er, you're awake!"

Zhang and others also hurriedly gathered around and reached out to test the temperature of Li's forehead.

"Thank God, the fever is finally gone!"

"Sister-in-law, how do you feel?"

"Sister-in-law, are you thirsty or hungry?"

Li felt everyone's concern and felt warm at heart. She wanted to say that everything was fine, but no sound came out.

"Quick, go get a bowl of warm water."

Seeing that she was unable to speak, Zhang thought that she had injured her neck and her throat was swollen, and she was unable to speak for a while, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring her some water.

Upon hearing this, Wang quickly ran to the kitchen, poured some warm water and handed it to Zhang.

After swallowing a bowl of water with difficulty under the gaze of everyone, the burning sensation in the throat subsided a lot.

Gulu gulu...

The rumbling sound from her stomach made her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Gurgle gurgle.......

Gurgle gurgle.......

............

As if to echo her, there were bursts of rumbling stomachs around.

"Hahaha......"

"hehe....."

"..."

The crowd looked at each other and laughed.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, then do whatever you need to do after dinner."

Li woke up, and everyone felt relieved. They just felt hungry now.

"It's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up, Li, you should have a good rest and take care of your body."

Cheng Dafu was also very happy. After giving Li instructions, he turned and walked out of the cave.

"Hey, brother, where are you going? It's time to eat!"

Old Man Cheng held Cheng Dafu and wouldn't let him leave.

"You guys eat, I've finished eating, I'm going to check the wooden press."

"After you eat, drink the soup before leaving. It's a rare opportunity like this."

"No, no, I'm full. You guys drink it. I saw Lao Wu send half a bucket over there just now. You guys must not have much left."

"Don't worry, big brother. There's plenty of food. Chinese yam and bamboo fungus are added to the soup. It's quite filling. Let's go. If you don't want to drink the soup, you can have some Chinese yam instead."

After saying that, he pushed Cheng Dafu towards the dining table.

"Hey, don't push me, I can walk by myself, I can walk by myself."

Seeing that he really couldn't refuse, Cheng Dafu had to stay and planned to eat a few bites of yam and then leave.

"Uncle, please sit down!"

When Cheng Lao Er saw Old Man Cheng pulling Cheng Da Fu over, he hurriedly pulled away the stool of the main seat, and Zhang quickly served a bowl of soup full of chicken and snake meat and placed it in front of him.

"Hey, nonsense, I ate all the meat, what are you eating?"

Cheng Dafu glared and scolded in a pretended angry tone, then picked up the bowl and quickly transferred the meat into other people's bowls.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly covered their bowls with their hands.

"Brother, what are you doing? There's more in the pot. The snake is not small, there's enough for everyone to eat!"

"Enough? Is there enough food for the children?"

"Yes, I have left some. I have left quite a bit. Just eat it without worry."

Here, Cheng Zeli fed Li the porridge made from snake soup and came over to eat.

Seeing that everyone was present, Cheng Dafu picked up a piece of yam and put it into his mouth. When everyone saw their elders starting to eat, they lowered their heads and started drinking the fragrant soup in their bowls.

"Well!"

“Great soup!”

"It really is a tonic!"

Just one sip and everyone's eyes lit up. This bowl of soup was so delicious that it made people feel their bodies were wrapped in warmth, purified and light.

The soup has a very rich flavor and you can taste its essence in every bite. It leaves you with an endless aftertaste and a full sense of happiness rising from the bottom of your heart.

Everyone was reluctant to drink the soup in one breath, so they all took small sips and savored it slowly.

"Ah! Where does the blood come from?"

As they were drinking, they heard Cheng Laowu's cry of surprise. Everyone turned to look at him in confusion, only to see two lines of blood slowly flowing from his nose. When he lowered his head to drink the soup, the blood dripped into the bowl, dyeing the little remaining soup red.

"Hurry up and lower your head, and pinch your nose!"

Cheng Zeli hurried forward to help him out, pressed his head down, and then turned to look at Zhang.

"Mom, go get a basin of clean water and wipe his forehead."

Before Zhang could react, Liu had already brought water over.

Cheng Zeli dipped his hand in clean water and kept patting Cheng Laowu's forehead.

After struggling for a while, the bleeding finally stopped.

"This soup is very nourishing. You can't drink too much. One bowl per person is enough."

"There is still a lot of soup in the pot. Divide it into three portions and send them to my eldest brother, second brother, and sixth uncle's house so that they can also replenish their bodies."

Old Man Cheng looked at Zhang and gave instructions.

Cheng Dafu wanted to refuse, but when he thought that the soup was too nutritious and not suitable to be drunk too much, he stopped trying to stop him.
