Jiang Jiang, who was sleeping next to Li Cuicui with her clothes on, was also awakened by the noise.

Li Sheng and his colleagues who were on patrol naturally heard the crying and immediately went forward to check the situation.

Li Chunhua, with a look of panic on her face, hugged Li Wang, whose face was red and twitching.

Seeing this, Li Sheng immediately brought Doctor Qin over.

Li Chunhua grabbed Doctor Qin's hand as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Brother Qin, come and see what's wrong with Wangzi. He's burning all over. You have to save him."

Doctor Qin was just a barefoot doctor, and was good at treating common injuries and wind-heat and cold. But this child had a fever, and not only himself, but even the doctors in the city might not dare to say that they could cure it.

He took a few steps forward, put down the medicine box, put the back of his hand on Li Wang's forehead, and was immediately shocked by the scorching temperature.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?" Li Wang's mother was also very anxious. Fever is not a minor illness.

Doctor Qin took Li Wang's hand and placed a few fingers on his wrist to feel his pulse.

Why does it feel like a cold?

"How can you catch a cold when the weather is so hot? This is a sign of a cold."

Doctor Qin was a little confused.

In the past few days, there are many sick elderly people and children, but most of them suffer from "fever", heatstroke, and wind-heat.

Li Chunhua suddenly recalled something and said, "That stream! Today, Wangzi went to play in the water while I wasn't paying attention, and I scolded him."

After saying this, Li Chunhua glared at Li Wang's mother.

In the afternoon, Li Chunhua saw that Li Wang's clothes were wet, so she asked Li Wang's mother to change his clothes. Now it seems that she was just trying to save time, thinking that the clothes would dry quickly in the sun, so she didn't change them.

But now is not the time to worry about who is right or wrong. The important thing is how to cure Li Wang.

Doctor Qin didn't have any better solution and could only use the existing herbs to barely put together some medicine to treat the cold.

"Sister Chunhua, give Wangzi some medicine first. If his fever doesn't go down in the next few days, I don't have any better solution."

When Li Chunhua heard this, she almost fell down and had to stand by leaning on Li Wang's father.

"Hurry, hurry, go and boil medicine for Wangzi." Li Chunhua suppressed her panic and directed Li Wang's mother to boil the medicine, while she found the thick bedding in the house.

According to the methods of the older generation, if a child has a fever, he should be covered with a thick blanket and sweat, and maybe he will get better.

Now Li Chunhua has no other choice but to give it a try.

Li Wang was wrapped in a thick quilt, like a caterpillar that could not move.

It was late at night. After Doctor Qin examined Li Wang and prescribed some medicine, everyone stopped watching and went to rest.

They still have to travel early tomorrow morning, and every day's journey is not easy.

Originally Jiang Jiang also wanted to go and see what happened, but when Li Sheng came back to change shifts, he directly explained the situation.

Li Chunhua's grandson has a fever. Doctor Qin has examined him and prescribed medicine.

Jiang Jiang thought that the doctor must be more capable than himself, so he didn't join in the fun.

The next morning, the long convoy occupied the entire official road like ants moving house.

The closer they got to Qingyuan County, the more refugees they encountered along the way.

On the way, Jiang Jiang and his friends also saw an old man abandoned on the roadside.

He was still alive, but the buzzing flies and circling vultures were already waiting to enjoy this delicious meal.

Perhaps the old man’s miserable condition frightened many people, so everyone walked faster.

No one wants to be the one left behind.

The sun gradually rose and the temperature increased a lot. As usual, everyone found a place to rest.

"Wangzi?! Wangzi?!"

Jiang Jiang was putting a handful of brown rice and a handful of whole rice into the pot when he heard Li Chunhua's shrill cry.

"Big Boss, you cook first, I'll go see what's going on."

Last night she didn't know the details. Li Sheng said that Doctor Qin had examined the patient, so she didn't take it seriously. But now it seems that Li Wang's condition is not optimistic.

When Jiang Jiang arrived at Li Chunhua's place, there was already a circle of people surrounding her.

We are all from the same village, and everyone is more or less worried about Li Wang's situation.

If the first person dies on the road to escape famine, there is no guarantee that there won’t be a second, a third…

"Doctor Qin, please take a look. Wangzi was feeling better this morning, but now he has a fever again." Li Wang's mother pulled Doctor Qin over.

Pushing aside the crowd in front, Jiang Jiang finally saw Li Wang's current appearance.

Li Wang's small body was wrapped tightly in a thick quilt. His little face was flushed, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and he trembled from time to time.

Oh no, this is a symptom of a child's convulsion.

Even though Jiang Jiang didn't know medicine, she knew that when a child has a fever, she must not cover the child's body with a blanket. Instead, she should try to wipe the body surface with alcohol to allow the volatile alcohol to take away the heat from the child's body and achieve a cooling effect.

Seeing Li Wang twitching, Doctor Qin was helpless.

The people around gradually dispersed. Those who had elderly and children at home inexplicably felt a sense of grief, wondering if misfortune would befall them one day.

Even when she was fleeing from famine, Li Chunhua kept her hair combed neatly and looked very energetic, but now, she looked dejected, as if all her energy had been drained away.

Li Wang was only three or four years old. His mother followed his father to work in the fields, and he was raised by Li Chunhua. At this time, he seemed to be confused by the burn, and kept calling "Grandma, Grandma".

Li Chunhua agreed with an "eh, eh" and began to wipe away tears unconsciously.

Her poor grandson.

Jiang Jiang stood beside her and watched for a long time. She squatted down and said, "Sister Chunhua, there is a folk remedy in my hometown. Do you want to try it on Wangzi? It might be effective."

Li Chunhua looked at Jiang Jiang with tears in her eyes, then glanced at Doctor Qin's back as he left reluctantly, and gritted her teeth.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, do as you say. Even if Wangzi can't do anything about it, it's his fate. No matter what, I will accept your kindness."

After getting Li Chunhua's approval, Jiang Jiang didn't hesitate any longer. The child's affairs could not be delayed.

She first rescued Li Wang from the cotton mattress, and then said to Li Cuicui who came with her: "Cuicui, ask your elder brother to bring a bottle of wine."

Li Cuicui nodded and ran away.

Jiang Jiang unbuttoned Li Wang's clothes and touched his forehead. He was shocked. It was so hot. Even without a thermometer, Jiang Jiang knew that it was definitely a high fever. The temperature must be reduced immediately. Otherwise, even if Li Wang was lucky enough to survive, he might have serious sequelae.

"Sister Chunhua, pour me a glass of water and bring me a handkerchief." Jiang Jiang ordered calmly.

When Li Chunhua heard this, she immediately turned around and went to look for the luggage. She and her daughter-in-law brought a glass of water and a handkerchief in a short while.

Coincidentally, Li Cuicui also came over with Li Xu, holding a bag of medicinal herbs and a small jar of wine in her hands.

Just now, while a few people went to get something, Jiang Jiang secretly took out a small bottle of antipyretic suspension for children from the space. She took the water handed to her by Li Chunhua and poured the suspension into the cup using her sleeve as a cover.

Then, she helped Li Wang up and put the cup of water next to Li Wang's mouth.

"Come, Wangzi, have a drink of water."

Li Wang seemed to still have some consciousness. When his lips touched the cold water, he began to swallow unconsciously.

Seeing Li Wang drink the water, Jiang Jiang felt relieved.

Next, it’s physical cooling.
