Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

After breakfast, Boss Jiang suddenly said to Qian Xiuzhu: "Xiuzhu, I've been having a bad feeling these past two days. Is there something wrong with A Tao who hasn't contacted her parents for so long? I'm worried."

Qian Xiuzhu was already prepared and said, "Even if you want to go find her, you have to wait until the rain stops. Our Shili Village is so high up that it has been flooded. I'm afraid the entire county has been flooded. You have to go find my sister-in-law." We have to walk thirty or forty miles, and since it is so chaotic outside now, we may not be able to find anyone when we get there, so it is better to think about it in the long run.”

Boss Jiang, who had been hesitating, looked outside the cave. The rain was continuous and endless. He could only suppress the thoughts that had just arisen.

On the other side, Jiang Fu came over in a hurry, "Second cousin, please help me check on my sister. She seems to have a fever again..."

Jiang Fu didn't expect that Jiang Rong, who had the appetite to eat just now, suddenly started to have fever again. This time she didn't even have the strength to cry and kept whispering nonsense.

Jiang Huaixu, who was handling mugwort with Jiang Wei, heard this and looked at Jiang Rong lying in the corner, clapped his hands and stood up.

"Yao Mei, can these mugwort be burned after they are dried?" Jiang Wei asked, holding Jiang Huaixu's hand.

"Yes, smoke it everywhere near where we live."

This is the simplest method of disinfection and sterilization in ancient times.

After saying that, she and Jiang Fu went to see Jiang Rong. After seeing clearly that Jiang Rong was tightly wrapped in a thin quilt, she couldn't help frowning and hurriedly stepped forward to pull off the quilt.

When I reached out and touched it, the little person seemed to have just come out of the water.

"She has a fever that has entered her body. She cannot cover her body. Keeping it covered will only make it worse. Go get a basin of water and wipe her body."

Jiang Fu didn't expect that Jiang Rong was doing this by herself. Water mist immediately came to her eyes, but she knew it was not the time to cry, so she wiped it with her hand and went to get water.

Qian Xiuzhu who followed saw Jiang Huaixu taking off Jiang Rong's clothes and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Xu, won't her cold be more serious?"

Jiang Huaixu knew that people in the village could not differentiate between cold syndrome and fever syndrome, so he explained: "Mom, Sister Rong, this is the heat evil entering the body. After the fever occurs, the heat must be dissipated. If the heat cannot be dissipated, it will only become more serious. If there is wind and cold, it will not It’s the same. People who have colds will shiver uncontrollably. At this time, they should cover themselves so as not to catch the cold. Many people don’t know the difference between the two, but they don’t know that incorrect dialectics can kill people.”

Qian Xiuzhu was shocked, "Is it so serious?"

"Yes, mother, if you think about it carefully, are there some people who can't get rid of their fever even if they take medicine, and end up with a fever? This is because the dialectics are wrong and they take the wrong medicine."

Qian Xiuzhu thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be the case.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "You have only studied medicine for more than half a year, and you know so much, so you are obviously smart."

"There is no one in our family who is not smart." Jiang Huaixu's smile was not subtle at all.

Qian Xiuzhu looked at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing.

When Jiang Fu got the water back, Jiang Huaixu saw with his own eyes that she had wiped Jiang Rong's body all over, and then said to Jiang Fu: "I will carry her into the tent and give her medicine. After giving her the medicine, please take care of her and let me know if the fever subsides." "

Jiang Fu twisted her fingers together and looked embarrassed: "Second cousin, it's okay for my sister to sleep here."

The tent was filled with soft quilts, and it would be bad if they got dirty.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at the quilt under Jiang Rong, whose original color could not be seen. She had just touched a corner that was wet. She laid a moisture-proof mat in the tent, which was suitable for Jiang Rong to recover from her illness.

"Your cousin lets Sister Rong sleep wherever she wants. Since we let you follow, it's okay to make the two of you suffer less." Qian Xiuzhu said to Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu glanced at her aunt gratefully, then looked at Jiang Huaixu's back holding Jiang Rong as she left. She made up her mind to at least learn a skill to live in peace like her second cousin, so that she could repay her uncle's family.

After giving Jiang Rong another dose of antipyretic medicine and seeing that she fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Huaixu stood up. Her legs were numb as she was squatting beside the tent.

Jiang Fu, who had been standing aside waiting, thought she was leaving and suddenly grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huaixu was confused.

When Jiang Fu was asked this question, she let go of her hands. When her head was about to hang down, she mustered up the courage to raise her head again.

"Second cousin, can you teach me how to read? Or teach me how to fight?"

Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but look Jiang Fu up and down, and suddenly found that the little girl seemed to be a little taller than herself, which made her a little frustrated.

"Come with me." She called Jiang Wei again, "Sister, take a look at Sister Rong."

Jiang Wei looked at the two people's retreating figures, pouted and stamped her feet dissatisfied.

I don’t know what to say to that girl.

Finding a corner that was not very noticeable, Jiang Huaixu asked in a low voice: "When did you see me fighting? How do you know that I can read?"

"You hit the breast with a stone... I accidentally saw it. My eldest cousin told me how to read. Also, people in the village say you are the reincarnation of a fairy." Jiang Fu said weakly.

At that time, she was hiding in the grass, not daring to look and only dared to listen. When she returned, she discovered how badly her breasts were hurt.

Hearing the last reason, the air in Jiang Huaixu's chest dissipated again, and she asked dumbfounded: "Why do you want to learn these?"

"I want to live a good life with my sister, and I can repay you well if I have the ability to settle down."

"Didn't your parents teach you how to read?"

Jiang Fu lowered her eyes and said sadly: "Mom said that if a girl learns to be a nun well, she will be able to live a stable life by marrying a good family. Dad won't let me learn to read. He said it's useless for a girl to learn to read."

Jiang Huaixu touched his nose, as if he had touched the other person's sadness.

"What do you want to do in the future?"

This question stopped Jiang Fu. She just wanted to learn to read. In her opinion, knowing how to read was very powerful. She didn't know what she wanted to do when she grew up.

"Then I'll teach you how to read for now, and then tell me when you think about it later."

It was not easy for a woman to survive in ancient times, so she had a natural affinity for women who were motivated and hardworking.

Jiang Fu's eyes were as bright as stars, "I will think about it carefully, second cousin."

As soon as he returned to his tent, Jiang Huaixu was blocked by Jiang Wei, "Yao Mei, what does that girl want to do with you?"

"She said she wanted to learn how to read and asked me to teach her."

"Literate?" Jiang Wei was surprised, "Why is she so confused!"

"Sister, think about it. If my second brother gets Jinshi in the future, our family will become a home for farming and reading. When people ask you if you are literate, how shameless will it be if you don't know a single big character?" Jiang Huaixu said sincerely.

"I'm pretty thick-skinned...and," Jiang Wei raised her chin, "I know a few Chinese characters, but I can't even recognize a big one."

Excellent.

Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but give Jiang Wei a thumbs up and went about his own business.
