The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

"Has the high fever lasted for a few days?" Xia Mianwan asked the old man.

The old man said, "Yes, he suddenly developed a high fever two days ago."

The old man couldn't take out the forehead thermometer during the summer sleep night, so he said, "You go out, I need a quiet environment."

Seeing this, the old man quickly responded and retreated outside.

Xia Mianwan took out a forehead thermometer from the package and measured the temperature, then took an alcohol cotton ball to wipe both of them, and then went outside.

"I don't have any medicine with me. I need to go back and get it."

"it is good."

The two climbed up one after another. "I should be able to treat the people, and I have food, but I don't know what your plan is?"

The old man said, "We can only live here one day at a time. If the situation in Yanzhou City stabilizes one day, we will make plans. We will go to the nearby villages every night to see if there is anything we can use, but we dare not make any big moves at the moment. After all, no one knows whether the Huanglin Army will come to Dahuang Village again."

Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "Since all the villagers in this village have already fled, it is impossible for them not to take food with them. It is impossible for you to find food in their homes."

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "We can only live one day at a time and earn one day at a time."

Xia Mianwan wanted to sigh again. After a while, Xia Mianwan said, "If I can cure you, I will send you some food regularly, but I have a request."

When the old man and the little boy heard Xia Mianwan's words, their eyes lit up, "What's the request?"

Xia Mianwan said: "You have to stay here and listen carefully to the movements at the other end of the tunnel."

The old man pulled the little boy together and bowed to Xia Mianwan, "You are a benefactor, and I will not fail you in your mission."

After Xia Mianwan finished talking to others, she took Xiaowu and Zhou Chengze back.

"I have medicine on me, but no food. Xiaowu, you are fast, so you can go back and get some food, including some refined rice." Xia Mianwan instructed.

"Okay." Xiao Wu didn't say much, turned around and walked into the mountains.

Xia Mianwan and Zhou Chengze found an open space to sit down and rest. When Xiaowu came back, the two had already eaten something simple.

This time when they returned to the shabby house, the little boy and the old man were both there.

Xia Mianwan said: "I will go down alone, it will be a little inconvenient for you guys."

Xia Mianwan came to the bed with a kettle and cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. The old man and the young boy showed no signs of waking up. After Xia Mianwan poured the water, he woke them up one by one.

"I'm here to treat you, so take the medicine quickly." The antipyretic drug Xia Mian Wan was made of Motrin, which tasted like sugar water, and the anti-inflammatory drug Xia Mian Wan was also ground into powder and handed to the two.

Although the old woman was confused due to the fever, she was an adult after all, and her physical condition was definitely better than that of a little girl. After taking the medicine, she also fed it to her granddaughter.

"Thank you so much, young lady." The old woman thanked her.

Xia Mianwan nodded and went upstairs.

When the old man and the little boy saw Xia Mian coming at night, they quickly gathered around him, and the old man asked, "Benefactor, how are my wife and granddaughter?"

Xia Mianwan thought for a moment and said, "We'll have to see how this medicine works after it's used. By the way, don't call me benefactor, just call me Mianwan."

The old man said, "Okay, my surname is Sun, my grandson is called Ah Xing and my granddaughter is called Ah Hao."

"Uncle Sun, it's getting late now. We may have to stay here for one night. Of course, Aunt Sun and Ah Hao have to continue observing. I think while there is still time, I want Xiao Wu to take Ah Xing to the mountains to learn how to identify some food and hunt. It's autumn now and winter is coming soon. If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow after winter, we will not be able to go down the mountain no matter what. Although we can give help, to survive in this chaotic world, we have to stand on our own."

Sun Bo understood what Xia Mianwan meant. Others could help temporarily but not forever. After looking at Ah Xing, Sun Bo nodded and said, "I'll go too. It's a pity for Brother Xiaowu to teach me as well."

Seeing that Xia Mianwan didn't say anything, Xiaowu took the two of them out.

After everyone left, Zhou Chengze asked, "Sister Xia, why do you suddenly want to save someone?"

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "You can see that this tunnel is of great significance. We may need it in the future. In addition, we know nothing about the outside news now. With this clue, we at least don't have to risk searching from village to village. Another thing is that I am not a person who is full of sympathy at all times, but Yanzhou City protected me for some time, and the residents of Yanzhou City also gave me a lot of warmth. Now Yanzhou City is in trouble, and the people are so innocent. If I can help them, I don't want to see people die like this. More importantly, Chengze, Sun Bo should not be ordinary people. Whether it is their clothes or the tunnel, ordinary people can never do it. You know a little about my affairs, just think of it as paving the way for my future."

Zhou Chengze didn't expect that Xia Mianwan had thought of so much in such a short half day. He couldn't help but admire her, "Sister Xia, you are amazing. How could I not have thought of that?"

Xia Mianwan patted Zhou Chengze on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You have your own strategies and vision. Everyone has different experiences and living environments, so what they see must be different."

"I understand." Zhou Chengze agreed deeply. He was just thinking wrongly.

Xia Mianwan had already taken out the simple cooking utensils he had prepared for camping, "Chengze, go pick up some firewood, we'll make a fire downstairs to boil some hot water and porridge, and then roast the steamed buns and meat sauce we brought."

Zhou Chengze was amazed. It was as if Xia Mianwan had a treasure chest and could always take out things he never expected at critical moments.

"coming!"

When Xiaowu came back with his men, it was already dark.

The three did not come back empty-handed. Sun Bo and Ah Xing each held a cloth bag, while Xiao Wu held two pheasants that had been plucked.

"Xiao Wu, you are really capable. Now you never come back empty-handed!" Zhou Chengze teased.

Uncle Sun and Ah Xing were also very excited. They learned a lot this time. Although they are not proficient yet, they will become proficient slowly.

That’s really great. This way, they should be able to hold on for a while longer.

At this time, Xia Mianwan's porridge and steamed buns were ready. She was not stingy and gave Uncle Sun a plate of steamed buns and a can of meat sauce, and the porridge was for Aunt Sun and Ah Hao.

Ah Xing took the steamed buns and porridge, looked at Xia Mianwan and thanked him very solemnly.

"Thank you, sister Mianwan. If I am still alive one day, I will definitely repay you."

Seeing Ah Xing being so serious, Xia Mianwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, I believe you!"
