It took a long time for Lin Hexi to return to the house. She originally thought that Chen Zhongqian had fallen asleep, but it turned out that he had lit an oil lamp and was copying information.
"have not sleep yet?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, then put down his pen, "Just now... your master made ginger tea for you. It's still hot. Drink it quickly."
Lin Yuxi held the bowl, and a strong smell of ginger hit her. She actually didn't like the taste of ginger very much, but why did this bowl of ginger tea smell so fragrant?
"My master went back to the house early. He doesn't seem to be such a considerate person."
Chen Zhongqian glanced at her, "Won't you get it if you drink it?"
"Oh." Lin Yuxi drank it obediently. After drinking it, her body felt warm and her heart felt warm too.
She was exhausted today and took off her clothes to go to bed. Chen Zhongqian asked her to sit on the bed and raised her arm to see, "Why is it hurt?"
Only then did Lin Hexi realize that the gauze had seeped blood. She smiled and said, "Maybe it was scratched by a branch when going into the water. It's okay. I have already bandaged it. I will just change the dressing."
Unexpectedly, the wound was really deep, it was still bleeding, and the gauze was a little wet.
Lin Hexi could change the dressing with one hand, but she had to be a little clumsy. Chen Zhongqian pressed her hand and said in a deep voice, "Teach me."
Just teach me, why are you so cruel?
Lin Joy resisted the urge to complain and really let go. She didn't have to be so self-reliant. Wouldn't it be better to have someone help when she was injured? But more often than not, she was used to doing things by herself.
.
"Take off the gauze first."
Chen Zhongqian followed her instructions and carefully removed the gauze on his face, removing two layers before revealing the wound inside.
There is no bleeding now, and the wound is covered with a layer of blood stains.
"Use a cotton swab dipped in iodophor and scrub the wound clean, drawing circles from the inside out, repeat three times."
Chen Zhongqian has a very good understanding. She only needs to point out which is a cotton swab and which is iodophor, and then tell him how to do it, and he can do it in a very standardized way.
"Finally, just cover it with clean gauze and tape it."
Chen Zhongqian put the tape on and asked her, "Where do these things come from?"
He finally couldn't help asking. He was curious from the beginning, but he felt that this was Lin Yuxi's own business. Although they were husband and wife, they didn't have to ask clearly about everything.
But as their relationship got closer, he began to care about everything about her. These items that looked unusual at first glance didn't mean much, but he was worried that one day something he couldn't predict would happen.
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment, but she was not surprised. It was a normal reaction for a person to ask. Chen Zhongqian had been holding back for more than a year before speaking, which already impressed her.
"I don't know where it came from." Lin Yuxi had no intention of hiding it from him and his two children. Since they were a family, they had to act like a family. No one could easily hide so many secrets.
.
But she didn't intend to explain the matter clearly. After all, no one wanted to be treated as a monster.
Chen Zhongqian looked at her and said nothing. Lin Yuxi continued, "I really don't know where it came from. It just appears on its own and then disappears on its own. They are all used to treat illnesses and save people, so I use them to treat illnesses."
After speaking, she asked, "Do you believe it?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Believe it, why don't you believe it?"
As long as she said it, he would believe it and wouldn't tell the second person, although even if Lin Yuxi didn't say it, he wouldn't let the second person know.
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "Don't you think such a thing is very strange?"
"There is nothing strange in this world." He looked at her, "You said this yourself."
Lin Xixi smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I said, but you weren't scared?"
"This is saving people, not killing people. Why should we be scared?"
Sometimes Lin Joy would be confused by his calm reaction, giving people the impression that even if she directly said that she was from another world, he would just nod gently and say, "So that's it."
a feeling of.
The two of them were lying on the bed and getting ready to sleep. Chen Zhongqian turned to his side and held her in his arms, whispering, "It's quite cold in the water, isn't it?"
It's quite cold in the water, but it's not cold now.
Lin Joy took the initiative to put her arms around his waist, "I'm shivering from the cold."
She still overestimated her body, and said nonchalantly at night that she didn't need any cold-repelling medicine. As a result, she developed a fever in the middle of the night and had her own fever dream.
This has been the case since she was a child. Every time she had a fever, she would have a similar dream, probably in which she was running in an endless field of cauliflower and could not reach the end.
I often had this dream when I was little, but less often when I grow up and have a fever, but I still remember it.
Lin Yuxi's whole body felt like charcoal. She struggled twice before Chen Zhongqian woke up. Her body was very hot to the touch and he quickly lit the lamp.
She hadn't woken up yet. She was trapped in that strange dream and couldn't get out. She just kept waving her hands around and sweating a lot on her forehead.
Chen Zhongqian wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck with a handkerchief, then stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, which made his eyes widen due to the heat.
"joy?"
Lin Yuxi couldn't wake up. It was still midnight, but he had to wake up the old man. If the fever lasted until dawn, something would happen.
Just as he was about to take his hand away, a hot little hand immediately grabbed him, "Don't go."
Chen Zhongqian was stunned for a moment. He thought Lin Xixi had woken up, but she still closed her eyes tightly and was just talking nonsense. This was nonsense.
He broke off Lin Xixi's hand and hurriedly knocked on the old man's door. As soon as he said that Lin Xixi had a fever, the old man quickly picked up the medicine box and came to their house.
"How long have you been burning?"
Chen Zhongqian said, "It shouldn't have been long before I felt her body was very hot and got up immediately."
The old man touched Lin Xixi's forehead, took out a silver needle from the medicine box and pricked a few acupuncture points for her, and put two or three drops of blood in each place. Chen Zhongqian immediately took a clean gauze to wipe her dry.
Then they took out fever-reducing pills and gave them to Lin Yuxi. They were for patients with high fevers. They took a long time to develop the formula and it worked very well.
Chen Zhongqian asked, "Has joy been infected with the plague?"
The old man shook his head, "No, this disease is not contagious. Joy should have caught a cold after going into the water, but there should be other reasons."
Chen Zhongqian thought for a while, "Her arm was injured. It was injured when she went into the water."
The old man looked at the injury on his arm and then nodded, "That's probably because of this. He caught a cold in the water and suffered trauma, so the fever is so severe."
Lin Yuxi took medicine and had her blood drained. Her body temperature gradually dropped, but she was still hot. The old man could only give her another injection to reduce the fever.
"Hey, it would be great if she could use those strange methods of hers, but she is sick, who can use them?"
Chen Zhongqian looked at the bamboo basket that Lin Hexi used to treat patients. When he opened it, he found it was empty.
what happened?
Obviously there were still a lot of things in it when they bandaged her wound last night, but no one had touched the basket. How could it be gone?
