Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

After playing and fighting for a while, the four of them continued to walk up the mountain to look for prey.

By the afternoon when they came down the mountain, they hadn't seen a single rabbit. The four of them were not discouraged, and just thought of it as a trip up the mountain for fun.

After lunch, the four of them went back to their homes to sleep. Perhaps they were tired from climbing the mountain in the morning, so they slept until 4 p.m. When Tan Anjing and He Feiyang came to eat, Song Shuangshuang didn't get up.

Song Youlin didn't take it seriously. His sister always slept a lot and had even slept until six in the afternoon before.

Hearing him say that, Tan Anjing didn't go into the house for fear of disturbing Song Shuangshuang's sleep. When the meal was ready, Tan Anjing called Song Shuangshuang to get up and eat. After calling several times, there was no response from the house, and then they realized something was wrong.

There was no lock on the brother and sister's room, so Song Youlin pushed the door open and went in.

Feeling chilly in the room, he discovered that the window of his sister's room was not closed tightly and there was a gap.

After closing the window, Song Youlin walked over and gently pushed Song Shuangshuang, but there was no response.

Song Youlin moved closer and heard his sister's rapid and hot breathing. He quickly touched her forehead and found it was burning hot, obviously she had a fever.

Song Youlin patted Song Shuangshuang again, trying to wake her up.

Song Shuangshuang struggled to open her eyes a little. "Huh? What's wrong? Brother, why am I so cold? Is the stove out? I'm freezing to death."

Song Youlin was angry and anxious. "You didn't close the window. You have a fever! Wake up and don't go to sleep. I'll get you something to eat first. After you finish eating, you can take the antipyretic medicine, otherwise you will have a stomachache."

Song Shuangshuang just felt dizzy. She didn't hear clearly what her brother said and agreed casually.

After lighting the kerosene lamp, Song Youlin left the house and quickly closed the door for fear that the cold air would come in.

"What's going on?" Tan Anjing came over and asked.

"I forgot to close the window and got a fever. Do you have any medicine to reduce fever? I'll make something for my sister to eat and then give her medicine."

Tan Anjing said she still had some and asked him to go back and get the medicine.

He Feiyang also came over and asked if he could help in any way.

Song Youlin wanted to go into the space and cook some porridge in the rice cooker, but he couldn't go in because there were people there. He could only take the vegetables out of the pot, clean the pot, go to the kitchen to get two handfuls of rice, and put them in the pot to cook.

Thinking that there was no warmth in Song Shuangshuang's room, he added two more pieces of firewood into the stove.

"Can you go to the mountain to deliver the food yourself later? I want to stay and take care of my sister."

He had agreed in the morning that he would go and deliver some food today, and asked his sister and Tan Anjing to stay at home because he was worried because he had always been the one taking care of Song Shuangshuang.

"No problem, I can go by myself."

Tan Anjing came back with the medicine quickly. Song Youlin asked the two of them to eat first and he would eat later. Then he went into the house to see how his sister was doing.

The man was still dazed, but woke up as soon as he was called.

"Sister, I cooked porridge for you. Can I cut some pickles for you or spicy cabbage?"

Song Shuangshuang smacked her lips and said, "I want to eat barbecue."

Song Youlin: "..."

"No." What was he thinking about? He still wanted to eat barbecue. He hadn't eaten beef for a long time and he was craving for it.

Song Shuangshuang was still conscious. She pursed her lips and said that she didn't want to take medicine.

Knowing that his sister didn't like taking medicine, Song Youlin sighed and agreed. He coaxed Song Shuangshuang like a child.

"I'll wipe you with hot water first. If it doesn't go away by the evening, you'll have to take medicine, okay?"

Song Shuangshuang nodded, which was considered as her agreement.

After leaving the house, Song Youlin asked the two to help watch the porridge on the stove. He went back to the house, took out the washbasin, went to the yard to fetch a basin of cold water and brought it in.

"Youlin, what are you doing?"

"My sister doesn't want to take medicine, so I'll get some cold water to apply to her head and wipe her hands and feet to see if that can reduce her fever."

Tan Anjing immediately put down her chopsticks and said she would help.

Although Song Youlin and Song Shuangshuang are siblings, there is a difference between men and women, so it is inconvenient.

"It's okay. I'll wipe the palms and soles of her feet. If the pain doesn't subside, take some medicine. You two should eat quickly."

Song Youlin put a cold towel on Song Shuangshuang's forehead, then went back to his room to get the thermos, and poured hot water to wipe his sister's hands and feet.

Because the kangs in Northeast China are designed for sleeping with the head facing outwards, it was inconvenient for Song Youlin to wipe the soles of Song Shuangshuang's feet, so he simply turned Song Shuangshuang around with the mattress and laid her sideways.

After wiping twice and changing the towel, Song Youlin felt that his sister's temperature had dropped a little. He covered Song Shuangshuang with the quilt and prepared to go out for dinner.

As a result, before anyone left the house, Song Shuangshuang kicked the quilt away and muttered about being hot.

Song Youlin covered himself with the quilt again, but it was still kicked away by Song Shuangshuang. After several attempts, Song Youlin didn't care anymore. Even if his sister's hands and feet were tied, she could still get rid of them. She was still confused, so she didn't roll over.

Just leave it at that.

Seeing the person coming out, Tan Anjing asked what happened to him.

"I feel my head isn't as hot as before. I'll eat something first. Can you help me keep an eye on my sister? I'm holding her sideways, and I'm afraid she'll fall to the ground. She doesn't sleep well."

"Okay, go eat. I'll wipe her body so the temperature will go down faster."

Tan Anjing was much more skillful now. She poured out the cold water and filled half a basin with hot water. She took off her cotton-padded clothes and shoes, got on the kang, helped Song Shuangshuang take off her clothes, and wiped her body with a wet towel.

Song Shuangshuang squinted her eyes, saw that it was Tan Anjing, and said vaguely, "Sorry for bothering her." She tried her best to cooperate with Tan Anjing in raising her arms and hands.

The kang in the room was heated very hot by Song Youlin. After a while, Tan Anjing was sweating all over, but she still insisted on wiping Song Shuangshuang's body.

Ten minutes later, Song Youlin knocked on the door and said the porridge was ready. He asked his sister if she could eat it by herself.

"Shuangshuang is asleep again. Let's eat her when she wakes up."

"Then I'll wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen first. Call me if you need anything."

After pouring the porridge from the pot into lunch boxes and boiling a pot of water, Song Youlin began to clean up the kitchen.

When He Feiyang came back, Song Shuangshuang's temperature had dropped a little, but she was still asleep.

When it was time to go to bed, Song Shuangshuang still hadn't woken up. Song Youlin asked Tan Anjing and He Feiyang to go back and rest, and he would just stay with his sister.

"Then we'll go back first. There's not much hot water left in the two thermoses. You can boil some more. I've put the medicine on the kang cabinet. If Shuangshuang gets hot again in the middle of the night, you can give it to her. Come to me if you have any problems."

Soon after they returned home, Song Youlin moved his bedding to Song Shuangshuang's room, intending to stay with her in this room tonight. If anything happens, he will know in time.

Seeing that the well water used for ice compress was no longer cold, Song Youlin came out with a basin and prepared to change it. Just as he was about to fetch water, he heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Thinking that it was He Feiyang or Tan Anjing coming to deliver something, Song Youlin didn't ask and went to open the door.

In the end, I didn't see a single person.

Thinking of the two times that unknown people had delivered things before, Song Youlin looked down to see if there was anything placed at the door.

He actually found a paper bag, and when he opened it, he saw two pills inside.

He was about to return to the yard when he heard a slight noise not far away. He looked in the direction of the sound and actually saw a figure's back.

Tall and familiar...
