Defeat natural disasters with farming

Ye Yu was sleepy all day today, because he slept too much in the morning and couldn't fall asleep in the afternoon, so he simply sat up under the blanket, brought the pen and paper, and started to write and draw, to do some next planning.

We have to wait until the rain is over to determine the degree of pollution of the land. If the pollution is light, we can apply a little organic fertilizer to improve the soil, such as the excrement of various livestock. These are common things in the village. There are many, but if the pollution is heavy, it will be very troublesome. You need to mix some quicklime into the land for conditioning. In addition, ammonia and urea are also available. Among them, quicklime is easy to find, but it will affect the yield of the land.

In addition to the above two treatment methods, acid-resistant crops can also be planted. In their village alone, there are rice, potatoes, tea trees, and pear trees.

Ye Yu listed the problems and solutions one by one on the paper, which filled two bamboo papers.

"Let's take a look." He smoothed the paper and handed it to Chu Xufeng, "Is there anything else that needs to be revised?"

While Chu Xufeng was browsing the content on the paper, Ye Yu wrapped the blanket tightly again, and the sound of the pattering rain outside the window was like a lullaby, making him drowsy.

"It's pretty complete," Chu Xufeng put down the bamboo paper, "Afterwards, the reclamation of wasteland in the village can depend on the situation, and it can be pushed back as appropriate."

Ye Yu held a cup of boiling water and said, "Let's talk about the land reclamation. Whether we can open it up this year is another matter."

"That's true." Chu Xufeng saw that he was a little confused, and asked, "Sleepy?"

Ye Yu yawned, "I wasn't sleepy just now, maybe it's because the medicine has taken effect, and I'm a little sleepy."

"Then let's sleep for a while." Chu Xufeng said warmly.

"Yeah." Ye Yu shrank under the quilt, and reminded him by the way: "There are books in the study, although you should have read them all, you can read them again to pass the time. The dried fruit box is placed on the table. There is also warm tea..."

Before he finished speaking, his breathing gradually became calm.

Chu Xufeng burst out laughing. He looked at Ye Yu's delicate side face, stretched out his hand to push away the hair that blocked his face, and after looking at it for a while, he turned off the oil lamp, pushed open the small wooden door of the study, and sat down at the desk and took out a book. .

Although one person is sleeping and the other is reading, the atmosphere in the room is not awkward at all, but rather warm and comfortable.

After a while, Mother Ye pushed open the door cautiously, "Asleep?"

It was Chu Xufeng who asked the question. Chu Xufeng put down his book and replied in a low voice: "Just fell asleep, I think he is not in a good mood today."

Mother Ye took the temperature on Ye Yu's forehead, and said anxiously, "The temperature is the same as last night, it hasn't dropped at all."

Although Ye Yu's illness lasted for a long time before, it will not happen that the temperature cannot be lowered.

Chu Xufeng thought for a while and said, "I think Doctor Chen's prescription is Bupleurum Guizhigan Ginger Decoction, which is suitable for recurrent fever and severe cold and mild heat. It just matches Ayu's current symptoms. You can take two more doses."

Mother Ye nodded, "You are right."

"Brother Xu, stay for dinner at night. I have boiled bone soup for several hours. It is very fragrant."

Chu Xufeng did not refuse, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Hey, what can I thank you for? Speaking of which, you two have similar tastes. You both like to eat noodles with bone broth." Mother Ye said with a smile.

"That's because you cooked delicious food." Chu Xufeng stood up and sent her out.

Later, Ye Yu was woken up by Chu Xufeng. He straightened up in a daze, and just about to rub his eyes, his face was covered by a warm towel.

"It's time to eat when you wake up." Chu Xufeng handed him the cup.

After Ye Yu wiped his face with a towel, he lowered his head and took a sip of water. When the water entered his mouth, his eyes lit up, "Why is it sweet?"

Chu Xufeng looked at him with a smile, "Guess what's in the water?"

Ye Yu looked up at him, then tasted the taste of the water, and guessed, "Is it pear water?"

"Guess right." Chu Xufeng helped him move the small wooden table to the bed. "There are still some dried pears at home, so I simply stewed them into pear water. Although the taste is not as good as fresh pears, it is still very good."

After hearing this, Ye Yu put down the cup, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, nourishing the lungs and relieving cough."

The bone soup noodles at night are also delicious. The soup base is made from two huge stick bones. It is fresh and fragrant. The noodles are also thin and almost transparent. You don’t need to chew them. They melt in your mouth Yes, there is only a little salt sprinkled in the bowl, but it tastes not dull at all. The freshness of the pork bone soup and the aroma of wheat noodles permeate the mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Mother Ye asked him.

"It's delicious." Ye Yu nodded, and at the end of the meal, he took out the big stick bone and sighed while scratching the bone marrow, "The meat at the corners of the bone is the best."

Mother Ye served him a bowl of soup, "Why don't you like to eat big pieces of meat."

Ye Yu took the bowl, "I think the meat is a bit greasy."

"It's true, you have to eat something light recently." Ye Mu immediately filled another bowl full for Chu Xufeng.

The tableware Ye Yu used was separate. He was afraid that his cold would spread to others. Although the infection is inevitable when eating and living together, it is possible to reduce the probability.

Ye Yu was fine while eating, and Ye Yu felt that he was almost fine, but when it was time to go to bed at night, he had a fever again. Mother Ye touched his forehead and said worriedly: "Should I go to invite Chen?" The doctor will come once?"

Ye Yu waved his hand, "It's still raining outside now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

His cheeks were flushed from the fever, and he was even less energetic. After drinking the medicine, he lay down on the bed and became drowsy.

Seeing this, Mother Ye made up her mind that she had to invite Dr. Chen early tomorrow morning.

The night was finally over with Ye's father and Ye's mother's worries, and just after dawn, Ye's father went to invite a doctor.

They brought Dr. Wu with them when they came back, Dr. Chen frowned after taking the pulse, and said doubtfully: "It stands to reason that you shouldn't have a constant fever. Could it be that the medicinal materials are not good enough?"

Then Dr. Wu took his place and continued to check Ye Yu's pulse. It took him a long time to check Ye Yu's pulse. As time went by, Dr. Wu's expression became more and more serious. Seeing that Ye's mother was extremely nervous, she didn't dare to breathe.

Doctor Wu withdrew his hand and rolled up Ye Yu's sleeves, and there were dots of red bumps on his exposed arms.

Sure enough, Dr. Chen also exclaimed, "Smallpox."

Dr. Wu nodded with a serious expression, "That's right, it's smallpox, recurring fever, and red pimples on the limbs and trunk, these are the symptoms of smallpox."

Mother Ye almost lost her footing when she heard this, she fell limply into Father Ye's arms, "How did Brother Bao get smallpox?"

Smallpox is a disease that displeases everyone. There is a saying that goes, "It is only half of the baby, and the flower is the whole." This is because the fatality rate of smallpox is extremely high, and even children from wealthy families No exception, once you get it, it depends on your own immunity, and the prescription is only auxiliary.

Dr. Chen frowned and said, "Smallpox is extremely contagious. I'm afraid that many people in the village who have never had flowers have also been infected."

When he said this, he suddenly turned around and asked Father Ye and the others, "Have you ever produced flowers?"

"We have all been out. Before Brother Bao was born, a smallpox epidemic broke out in the village, and almost everyone in the village was infected." Father Ye sighed and said, "Many people died that time alone. .” I don’t know what happened this time.

Dr. Wu also remembered this after his reminder, and he said: "At that time, not only your village, but even the county town was under martial law, because the smallpox was too severe."

Dr. Chen wrote: "Blooming of adults is much more serious than that of children. Since you two have been born, you can take good care of Brother Bao. In this way, your home needs to be temporarily sealed, otherwise it may infect other people." people."

Ye Yu suddenly trembled at this moment, raised her head suddenly and said, "Brother Xu had dinner with me last night, could he be infected?"

While discussing the prescription, Dr. Chen and Dr. Wu answered him, "We'll go and have a look in a while, and I think we'll have to check it for everyone in the village."

Ye Yu struggled to get up at this time, and asked his mother to bring the masks she had made, "You'd better wear masks all the time, if you still have realgar leaves at home, use them to smoke the house." It's unknown how the effect will be, but it's just a picture Just psychological comfort.

Father Ye wrote down the things he needed to do recently on a piece of paper, and handed it to Dr. Chen, "Go find Mr. Ye to cooperate with you, the symptoms of smallpox are not difficult to identify, as long as you have small bumps on your body, you should isolate them by the lake first." In the house, let the person who has had smallpox take care of them."

"Okay." Doctor Chen replied, folded the paper and put it away.

After the two doctors left, Ye Yu cheered up and said, "I remember we still have some burning knives at home, which can be boiled and sprayed in the house." The method of burning knives is very close to distillation, so the alcohol concentration is quite high. Although they are not used to drinking it, it is just right for spraying and disinfecting.

At this time, Mother Ye firmly pushed him to the bed, "You don't need to worry about these things, you just need to have a good rest now."

Ye Yu lay down following her strength, and fell asleep again.

Father Ye took advantage of this time to spray alcohol in the room as Ye Yu said, while Mother Ye went outside to decoct medicine, and soon the whole room smelled of alcohol and medicine.

The symptoms of smallpox during the incubation period were high fever, headache and vomiting just like Ye Yu's before.

In the early stage, there will be a rash on the limbs and trunk, which is Ye Yu's current situation.

In the mid-term, the body temperature dropped and the fever eased to some extent, but this does not mean that it has improved, but at the most serious time, once the blisters cannot come out, the patient is on the verge of danger. Most people who have smallpox have not been successfully rescued. Come back because they failed to get the acne out.

Once the acne is successful, it will come to the later stage. During this period, as time goes by, the blisters will turn into pustules, and the body temperature will rise again. It is worth noting that you can't scratch it with your hands during this period, and if it is scratched, it will leave scars.
