Chapter 23 The Patriarch Is Sick
Unexpectedly, Su Qin took a deep breath and said: "The last time I saved someone, I got ninety-nine merit points. You fed it with milk and you gave me a little merit point. I drew a bag of water spinach seeds in the lottery."
Shui Ling suddenly realized, "No wonder Dad said there are water spinach seeds. By the way, I don't know how he could enter the space."
Su Qin chuckled, "It was also his good luck that he found the stone you mentioned when he was walking by the river. We only started the merit system after he entered the space."
"So that's it, then this one..." Shui Ling raised the little guy in his hand.
Su Qin smiled and said: "I have saved you, but you can't just get merit points and just do nothing."
"Okay." Shui Ling put the little guy back with confidence.
She remembered something, "Mom, our merit values are separate?"
Su Qin also thought about this and nodded, "It seems so. There is no movement from your father now, and I guess there are not many from him."
"Who said that?" Shui Zheran walked in, his face full of dissatisfaction.
Su Qin and Shui Ling both looked at each other. How much merit does he have?
Shui Zheran smiled naively, "I thought it was universal, so I thought I would leave it to you to draw a lottery. I now have more than 150 merit points."
"So many?" Su Qin looked at him in surprise, this is unfair.
Shui Zheran scratched his head and began to speak one by one: "Help chop bamboo, kill the wolf king and save people, dig soil... Anyway, that's all the bits and pieces add up."
"Did you draw the lottery then?" Su Qin asked.
"No, I thought I would keep it for you." Shui Zheran's face showed fondness.
Shui Ling, "..." My parents are true love, and I and my siblings are accidents.
Su Qin said encouragingly: "Hurry up and see what you can draw. If you unlock a room, you must choose the dry material room. Many things can be grown there. The most important thing is that there is a medicine cabinet in the dry material room."
Shui Zheran instantly felt a lot of pressure. After all, it was not up to him to decide what he would win.
He closed his eyes resignedly and started to draw the lottery. He felt that his heartbeat was as fast as the turntable.
When the turntable stopped and the pointer did not point to unlocking the room, his face fell. He said carefully: "No... Wife, I didn't win."
Seeing his cautious look, Su Qin wanted to laugh. Who would have thought that the Director, who was so majestic outside, would be as cowardly as a cat at home.
She suppressed a smile and asked, "Then what did you win?"
"I didn't pay attention." Shui Zheran immediately went to check, and then said excitedly: "Daughter-in-law, I got something good, look."
Su Qin glanced at it and became excited, it's great, I'm worried that my two children won't be vaccinated."
Shui Ling looked over and saw that it was a box of vaccines. The younger siblings were lucky, so they were not afraid of diseases such as chickenpox.
She had already received these vaccines, so she didn't pay much attention to them. She took the diapers to the river to wash them. Because the river water surged due to last night's rain, she could wash them without going downhill.
The river water became very turbid, and Shui Ling eventually had to go into the space to clean it.
After doing her duty, Shui Ling fed the little leopard some milk again. This time it didn't eat much and fell asleep.
The four ducks lived very happily, and it was estimated that there were enough fish in the fish pond to feed them for a week.
In the evening, when dividing the pork, Shui Ling took the offal and four hooves, cleaned them and stored them in the refrigerator. He couldn't bear to eat pig trotters all the time.
Three days later, the water level in the river returned to its original state, and Shui Zheran led people to plant water spinach a little above the puddle.
As for planting vegetables on the roof of the cave, you have to take your time. Chinese cabbage cannot be planted in bamboo tubes, so Shui Zheran directly cleared the large piece of grass outside the cave and planted rapeseeds one by one with his hands. He had to sow them one by one.
Two acres of land were created from the seeds of one acres of land.
Now the Oriole of the tribe has a use. Mix it with plant ash and ferment it. After fermentation, it can be used as fertilizer.
In fact, these were all guided by Shui Ling and Shui Zheran. She is still too young now, so she can only work behind the scenes.
There are fifty-eight people in the family with the surname Shui, the daughter-in-law's foreign surname, and twenty-nine people from the daughter-in-law's mother's family, who were eventually divided into twenty-four households.
There are eight households on each floor on the second, third and fourth floors, but Shui Ling and the others felt that the first floor was convenient and did not want the cave on the second floor, so the vacant room was given to a newly married couple.
The place next to Shui Ling's cave was eventually dug into a collective kitchen. After all, everyone had to eat from a big pot this winter.
With his place of residence stabilized, the clan leader finally felt relieved, and fell ill due to the relaxation of his nerves.
Gong Qianyu ran to knock on the door in the middle of the night, "Aunt, great-grandpa is sick. He has a high fever and talks nonsense."
Su Qin immediately put on her clothes and picked up the medicine box. Shui Zheran held her down and said, "It's windy at night. Don't move. I'll carry it. I'll be sick for a few days if I suddenly relax my heartstrings."
"But we can't live here, what if we infect the babies?" Su Qin was worried about the children.
"Then I'll hold you while you huddle under the quilt." Shui Zheran was afraid that his wife would be exposed to the wind.
"Okay." Su Qin rolled himself up with the quilt.
Shui Zheran carried her up to the second floor.
Several grooves were dug into the cave wall, and lard lamps were burning inside. The light was dim and visibility was extremely low.
Su Qin secretly put on gloves to check the clan leader, and then asked Shui Zheran to block the situation while she gave the clan leader a fever-reducing injection.
"The high fever must be brought down now, otherwise it will burn his head. When the fever shows up again, boil water with reed roots and give it to him to drink."
Shui Zheran nodded, "I'll take you back."
"Okay." Su Qin couldn't help if he stayed, the medicine was ready, just let Shui Zheran give it to him.
After being sent back to Su Qin, Su Qin went directly to the office and stood in the disinfection room, spraying disinfectant for a long time.
When she came out, she smelled of disinfectant. This was also her professional habit.
The patriarch had been ill for three days and had a cough when he woke up. This was caused by years of smoking and his lungs needed to be nursed back to health.
Su Qin sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. I do have a potion that can cleanse lung poisons, but this potion needs to be mixed with herbs and inhaled into the lungs to be effective."
Shui Ling asked: "What kind of herbs can you draw? I might be able to find them if I run outside."
"Yeah, that's fine." Su Qin drew a picture, wrote the name, then pointed to one of the grasses that looked like lungs and said, "This is called Qing Lung Grass (apocryphal). It has a thin stem and one leaf. It is a one-year-old grass.
, likes shade.”
"Well, Mom, you are originally a lady, how do you know this?" Shui Ling folded the picture and placed it in the space.
Su Qin glared at Shui Zheran, "It's not his original self that caused the trouble. He actually read miscellaneous books. My original self only cried and followed him to read miscellaneous books. It gave me an advantage."
Shui Zheran quickly changed the topic, "The water fetching support on the roof of the cave will be finished today. Then we will put the bamboo tubes on it to plant water spinach. This vegetable can be eaten for a long time if you pinch the branches."
Shui Ling glanced sideways, "Dad, where is the ant nest I asked you to find."
"If there is an ant nest, don't we have merit? I'm afraid that harming the ants will reduce the merit." Shui Zhe answered with a tangled face.
Shui Ling thought it made sense, and Su Qin couldn't refute it.
