Views:

"If that's the case, let's take a rest for a day! I'll go and invite the doctor, and it's good for you, Ah Si, to accompany her." Du Zhong said and got up.

Where can Xue Heng let the boss go to work and live in the inn to avoid the cold wind and air-conditioning? He said: "Okay, you all stay here, I'll go!" Before he finished speaking, he strode out.

Du Zhong and Zhou Shizhi looked at each other and smiled, and Du Zhong said with a smile: "Is she all right? I'll ask the buddy to find out where it's convenient to make medicine. You can go and see her!"

Zhou Shizhi was worried about Lu Xiaoshu at first, he agreed and went upstairs to Lu Xiaoshu's room.

Gently pushing the door open and entering, she saw the quilt covering her small body shaking slightly on the bed, and there were intermittent small sobbing sounds.

"Xiao Shu!" Zhou Shizhi was taken aback, and hurried forward to stroke the quilt lightly and said urgently, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Lu Xiaoshu's whole head and face was covered under the quilt, when he heard him ask, his small sobs turned into choked sobs, and he cried even louder.

Zhou Shizhi had never seen her cry, besides, there was always nothing that boys could do to a girl's tears, let alone the tears of a loved one? He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, and he tried to coax her, but the only words in his mouth were "Don't cry", "What's the matter", "Second uncle is going to ask the doctor. Good" and other words, after saying it several times, he himself felt very powerless. How can I persuade Lu Xiaoshu to move him

On the contrary, his consolation seemed to have the effect of making him cry, and Lu Xiaoshu cried even louder!

"Xiao Shu, what's the matter with you!" Zhou Shizhi sighed, "I know you're uncomfortable, can you not feel uncomfortable when you're sick? Don't be afraid, it's just that you just catch a cold and occasionally feel cold. After seeing the doctor and taking the medicine, you will be fine." Yes, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Seeing her shivering under the quilt, Zhou Shizhi pulled her quilt again, and said softly, "Isn't it uncomfortable to be covered like this? Come on, come out quickly! I'll wash your face with hot water..."

Lu Xiaoshu resisted symbolically, and let him pull the quilt away.

A small, tear-stained face was pale and flushed abnormally, the corners of his eyes were wet, and he blinked and bit his lips and looked at him innocently, his forehead and cheeks were covered with hair wet from tears or sweat, It looks so pitiful.

Zhou Shizhi was stunned for a moment, he had never seen her like this before. So weak and powerless, as if a gust of wind would blow it down.

He raised his hand to gently brush away the hair sticking to her cheeks, wiped the tears on her face with his thumb, and said softly: "Look, they are all painted face cats! I'll get you some hot water to wipe them off." Face, you wait!"

Lu Xiaoshu whispered: "My mouth is also uncomfortable, I need to rinse my mouth."

Her nasal, rustling and crying voice sounded like a kitten whimpering, Zhou Shizhi thought about it twice before he understood, nodded: "Okay, I'll get water!" He said and got up and went.

After taking care of her to wash up for a while, he said: "You lie down and rest, and I will accompany you by the side. By the way, are you cold? Do you want someone to add a charcoal basin?"

"Don't!" Lu Xiaoshu's mouth was flattened, and his eyes seemed to be watery, and Zhou Shizhi panicked, thinking that he had done something wrong, so he frantically tried to comfort him, in a panic.

Lu Xiaoshu could not help but feel even more pitiful when he looked at him in a state of distress but couldn't find a way out, and said intermittently: "I miss my mother... and my father..." Tears welled up as he spoke.

Zhou Shizhi froze, staring at her blankly.

Lu Xiaoshu raised his hand and wiped away his tears indiscriminately, and said with a sob: "When I was sick before, it was my mother who took care of me. I miss her..."

Thinking of being away from home for so long, and thinking of his parents at home, how could Lu Xiaoshu bear it? As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was a very vulnerable person in his illness, and he cried so hard that he couldn't stop his tears.

"Don't cry! Don't cry!" Zhou Shizhi was so embarrassed, he was in a hurry to help her wipe away her tears, how could I do that? In the end, he said helplessly: "Xiao Shu, don't cry, I, can't I take care of you... don't cry..."

"It's fine if you don't want someone to take care of you, who will you take care of!" Lu Xiaoshu cried, and said, "Smoke is coming from my throat, and I didn't see you pour me a glass of water and say take care of me." Woolen cloth!"

"I'm going to pour water!" Zhou Shizhi got up quickly.

After pouring water over, he hurriedly handed the teacup to Lu Xiaoshu's lips, and said softly, "Come, drink."

Lu Xiaoshu reluctantly took a sip, it was a little hot, but he had no choice but to let it go? What else? He's not a mother, so he can't compare with her!

"Drink some more!" Zhou Shizhi saw that her eyelashes were still wet and her eyes were slightly red and swollen, but at least she had stopped crying, so he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"No more," Lu Xiaoshu took two sips, frowned and said, "The taste in my mouth is bland, and there is no smell at all. My mother will mix honey water for me..."

"Then, wait a minute, I'll go find honey!" Zhou Shizhi said hastily. Before she could speak, she went out quickly.

There are all kinds of things in the inn, so there is no need to go outside to buy them. Zhou Shizhi hurriedly mixed a cup of honey water, carefully held it into Lu Xiaoshu's room and said with a smile: "Here comes the honey water, let's drink some more."

Taking a sip, her brows frowned slightly again, and Zhou Shizhi said anxiously: "How is it? Is it not delicious? This honey was brought to me by the shopkeeper in the inn, and he said it was the best honey that came down this year." …”

"It's too sweet, too sweet." Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips, "My mother tuned it just right, so it won't be like this."

"I'll try again." How did Zhou Shizhi know that there are so many specialties in drinking honey water? Scratching his head, he carefully smiled at her, "Wait, wait!"

He couldn't make up his mind how sweet Lu Xiaoshu wanted to drink, so he had to try one by one from a row of cups on the table in the lobby. Fortunately, it was not lunch time at this time, and there were not many people there, or else I don't know how many people would gather around to look at the diorama.

It happened that Xue Heng had invited an old doctor to come back. As soon as he entered the door, he took off his cloak and shook it in his hand. When he looked up, he saw Zhou Shizhi tossing about.

"A Si, what are you doing!" Xue Heng asked in surprise.

Zhou Shizhi suddenly started to murmur, if the second uncle knew that it was Xiao Shu who was making a fuss again, he might start nagging again.

But the doctor was smart, and he said at the first sight: "Ah, the old man knows, this young master is mixing honey water for a sick girl, right? Well, it's no wonder you are so thoughtful. At the beginning, my little girl I am also like this when I am sick. The little girl has a big temper when she is sick. Once she thinks it is too sweet, and the next time she thinks it is too bland, but it didn’t bother me! Cough, how do men know this? Thanks to you little So patient at this age... "

The old doctor was obviously a chatterbox, he couldn't see the end at the beginning, and he babbled a lot.

Zhou Shizhi felt bad, subconsciously looked at Xue Heng, and sure enough, he saw Xue Heng's face darken rapidly. Zhou Shizhi smiled sarcastically, and couldn't help asking the old doctor: "By the way, doctor, what kind of honey water should your daughter drink to be satisfied? Can you try it for me?"

Xue Heng was so angry that he almost spit out his mouthful of blood: Damn Lu Xiaoshu, you wild girl, do you really treat their youngest son as a slave

"Oh, yes, yes!" The old doctor was warm-hearted, seeing that he could help someone, he would naturally not refuse, so he stopped the chatterbox and agreed very happily, poured a clean cup one by one to taste, and finally pointed Holding one of them, he said, "This is fine, neither sweet nor bland."

Zhou Shizhi thanked him with a smile, carefully held the cup of honey water, nodded to the doctor and said with a smile, "Please come with me! She still has a high fever."

"Okay, please!" The old doctor raised his hand.

The two left just like that. Xue Heng folded his hands and glanced uncertainly, then turned and went back to the room.

After seeing Lu Xiaoshu's pulse, the old doctor also said that he had accidentally caught a cold, so it was no problem, so he prescribed two doses of medicine and told Zhou Shizhi to go to the pharmacy to grab it, take one immediately, lie down and sweat, and another one at night should be fine. about there. If it doesn't ease, go ask him.

Zhou Shizhi thanked him and sent the old doctor out. He didn't see Xue Heng or Du Zhong, and he was worried about letting the waiter do it for him, so he simply went to the street to grab the medicine by himself.

When he got the medicine back, Zhou Shizhi took it to the backyard kitchen to cook. Du Zhong prepared the casserole and small stove, and took the medicine bag when he saw it, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your second uncle? I saw him just now. With a dark face, could it be that the doctor in this town embarrassed me when I went out?"

Zhou Shizhi naturally knew it well, but he didn't want to say it, he just shook his head and pretended to be stupid: "Really? I don't know about this, maybe it is!"

"This second child, I thought his temper had improved a lot during this time, but I didn't expect it to be the same..." Du Zhong muttered, shaking his head and walking away.

After a while the medicine was decocted, Zhou Shizhi put it in a bowl, put it at the door and the temperature was right for the wind to blow, so he carefully brought it to Lu Xiaoshu, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshu, drink the medicine quickly, drink it up Lie down again, cover the quilt tightly and sleep for a while, and sweat will be fine."

From a distance, Lu Xiaoshu could smell the unpleasant smell of medicine, and now he came closer, and she also moved closer, seeing the big black bowl of medicine juice, like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, immediately He covered his mouth and nose and turned his face away, yelling again and again not to drink.

"How can you get better if you don't drink medicine?" Zhou Shizhi coaxed him softly with all his patience: "I'll make you honey water later, okay? Drink it quickly."

Lu Xiaoshu shook his head and shook his hands, and said, "I really don't want to drink it! It's too uncomfortable! Take it away, the smell will make you sick to death! Didn't the doctor say that it's okay to catch a cold occasionally? You can still cover it without taking medicine. Sweaty."

No matter what Zhou Shizhi said, she just refused.

In her memory, it seems that before the age of four, she was small and weak. Occasionally, when she was sick, her father and mother were overbearing. One hugged her tightly to prevent her from moving her hands and feet, and the other pinched her nose to force her to open her mouth. I drank it only after being forced to drink it. Afterwards, she learned how to steal and play tricks, always acting cute, and then sneaking clean while her mother wasn't paying attention.

Of course, the older she gets, the better her health will be, and she will hardly get sick. And even if the medicine that smells disgusting and drinks uncomfortable is forced to drink every time, most of it will definitely be spit out. It's just that Miao Cuilan and Lu Zhong are more ruthless, so just keep feeding her every time she vomits.
