Chapter 201: Save the Autumnal Equinox
An Qiao thought back to her past life when she had a bad cold and was spinning around in bed. She felt bored, so she read the instructions for the cold medicine over and over again. Now, when she thinks about it carefully, she can guess what ingredients the medicine contains.
Thinking of this, An Qiao asked Qi Tao to bring paper and pen, and quickly wrote down the medicinal herbs he had prepared.
"Yiyi, go get her some medicine. Get her all the medicine. She has a severe fever. We have to try our best to save her."
Looking at the young lady's expression, Tong Yiyi nodded firmly and left the restaurant without stopping.
The wind was strong at night, and Tong Yiyi didn't dare to stop for a moment, for fear of missing the Autumnal Equinox, and also afraid that this delay would last a lifetime.
Many drugstores in the city had their doors ajar. I wonder if it was because too many people in the city had been sick recently and they were afraid of delaying the rescue. Or maybe it was because there were people knocking desperately on the door every day, so they simply left it open.
Tong Yiyi found a familiar pharmacy, knocked on the door and was about to go in.
As expected, there was a medicine boy with half-closed eyes inside. He didn't think it was strange to see someone coming. He just opened his eyes slightly and asked, "What medicine do you need?"
"Young master, I need these medicinal herbs. Please give them to me quickly." Tong Yiyi didn't say much. He took out the herbs from his sleeve and handed them to the young master.
The medicine boy's eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, suddenly widened. "This... this medicine is a bit too strong. This... even if you dare to take it, I dare not prescribe it."
Tong Yiyi waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, just drive, I will be responsible if anything goes wrong, and I will never blame you."
The medicine boy was still a little hesitant. After all, even the old master didn't dare to prescribe such a strong medicine easily.
But seeing Tong Yiyi's determined eyes, the pharmacist could only turn around and prescribe medicine, "I can prescribe it for you, but you will be responsible if anything goes wrong, I can't be responsible."
There is no name or seal of the chef who prescribed the medicine on the prescription. He is only responsible for dispensing the medicine, so I don't think anything serious will happen. I just don't know if the person who takes the medicine can get better.
In the medicine boy's mind, this is only for the terminally ill, and it is a last resort. Otherwise, such strong medicine is only prescribed for cattle and sheep.
Tong Yiyi walked around the store impatiently, looking as anxious as if he was going to wear out the soles of his shoes.
Seeing that the patient was anxious, the pharmacist did not delay any longer and quickly wrote the medicine.
Usually when a medicine is prescribed, instructions are given on how to take it, but this medicine looked too strong, so the medicine boy only said, "The medicine must be boiled thoroughly."
Tong Yiyi didn't care about all that, he nodded immediately, paid the money and walked out. It took him more than half an hour to go back and forth, and he didn't know what was going on with Qiufen.
Inside the restaurant, An Qiao watched Qiufen sweating profusely. Actually, this kind of sweating is good, as it is better than not being able to sweat and ruining one's health.
But seeing that Qiufen was too painful, Anqiao couldn't help but feel anxious.
"My dear, I hope the Autumnal Equinox will be alright." Qi Tao said with a tearful tone, looking pitiful.
An Qiao was also nervously looking at the night outside. Although she tried different methods to lower the temperature during the Autumnal Equinox, the effect was minimal, or even almost non-existent.
"It's okay. Go change some water. You mustn't catch a cold." An Qiao looked at Qi Tao and said. Qi Tao nodded and walked downstairs.
An Qiao was afraid that if this continued, Qiufen would sweat too much and become dehydrated, so she waited for Qitao to come back, told her to continue cooling Qiufen down, and ran to the kitchen herself.
Lixia saw it and immediately chased after them, "Young lady, tell me what you want to do. If you don't let us get close to you, at least let us do something."
An Qiao was helpless. "If this continues, she will become confused before the fever goes down. Go to the kitchen and boil some water. Add some sugar, honey and salt. The sooner the better."
At this moment, Tong Yiyi came back, hurriedly carrying two bags of medicine, "Young lady, I'll go and cook the medicine."
An Qiao immediately stopped him and said, "Let me do it. You can't cook it well. Go to the ice cellar and get some ice cubes. Then quickly take them to the second floor to cool down Qiufen."
Tong Yiyi immediately put down the medicine obediently, and An Qiao took the medicine to the kitchen.
After entering the door, I found that it was not only the beginning of summer, the beginning of spring, the rain, and the awakening of insects...
Koi huddled in a corner, fanning the fire, her long eyelashes draped over her eyes as she went over and over all the prescriptions she had copied down from morning till night.
This was the prescription he had specifically looked for after the plague broke out. There were prescriptions for treating smallpox, colds, and inflammation. No matter how similar the viruses were, there were different prescriptions. After reading them over and over again, he only understood the uses of a few herbs.
Everyone was in the kitchen, some were boiling water, some were cooking medicine, and some were cooking porridge.
An Qiao did not delay and immediately poured the medicine in her hand into a basin and soaked it.
Yu Shui immediately stepped forward and said, "Young lady, let me do it. Even though I can't cook well, I am very good at making medicine."
Before Yushui was sold, he was taking care of his sick grandfather at home, so naturally he was very good at doing these things.
Over there, Lichun had already cooked the porridge. "If Qiufen wakes up, she will definitely want to eat porridge. I've made it and will stew it for her later."
Everyone is working hard for the Autumnal Equinox, feeling calm and nervous. If they can get through tonight, it will be fine. But if tonight doesn't go well, I'm afraid it will be bad.
No one expressed their concerns, and they just quietly did what they could.
"Thank you all for your hard work, but no one can get sick again. It's so scary. You have to take medicine every day." Seeing that everyone was busy, An Qiao boiled the afternoon medicine and drank it.
On the other side, Tong Yiyi took some ice cubes and placed them on a handkerchief. She knelt carefully at the head of Qiufen's bed and applied the ice carefully on Qiufen's head.
"It's okay, it's okay, it will be okay."
Yu Shui cooked the medicine and brought it upstairs, and Qi Tao carefully fed the medicine to Qiufen.
Originally, Tong Yiyi was anxious to take action, but Qi Tao said from the side, "There are differences between men and women. After all, you two are not related."
Tong Yiyi then stepped back apologetically.
After taking the medicine, not a single mouthful was wasted. An Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. This was a special cold medicine. Hopefully it would work. She remembered that almost all cold medicines had a fever-reducing effect. This was the only prescription she remembered. There was no other way. This was the only way.
Everyone was busy all night, and Koi went up and down the stairs frequently, worried about the Autumnal Equinox on the one hand, and worried about the people who were taking care of people on the other.
Normally, Qiufen would be very kind to him, but now he could do nothing to help him and could only worry.
It was at this moment that Koi suddenly wanted to do something. At least he should be more useful.
An Qiao didn't dare to go to sleep, so she simply took a recliner and a thin blanket and sat outside Qiufen's door.
Qi Tao was still inside with her.
An Qiao looked at Tong Yiyi who was squatting on the side and said, "You should also move a stool."
An Qiao sent everyone else back to sleep, except Tong Yiyi. An Qiao knew that he didn't want to leave, so she didn't send him away and just said it lightly.
