Luo Xiaoran asked Wang Dandan to ask someone to bring some candles and a bundle of ropes.

The candle was tied to a rope and placed in the cellar. The candle was not extinguished, and then he led a few people down the ladder:

"Not bad, the space is big enough, is it guaranteed to be sturdy?"

Wang Dandan patted his chest and vowed:

"Don't worry about this, Miss Luo. Digging cellars is popular in the countryside of the Northern Territory. We have dug more than a hundred cellars for others, big and small, so we are very experienced in digging cellars."

Luo Xiaoran nodded, "Then I'm relieved. When all the doors and windows are installed, it will be officially completed. I will settle your wages then."

When Wang Dandan heard this, he immediately smiled with wrinkles all over his face. In contrast to his dark yellow skin, his teeth looked very white and bright.

"Okay, Miss Luo, don't worry, I promise to make it beautiful for you!"

The house is almost done, so let’s go and see the furniture. Luo Xiaoran led the two little tails to Liu Yishui’s house.

Luo Xiaoran would go to check on the progress of the furniture every few days, and thus got to know Old Liu and his four sons.

The four sons, from oldest to youngest, are Liu Dashan, Liu Ershan, Liu Sanshan and Liu Xiaoshan.

In fact, even without saying "introduce by age", I believe everyone can guess their age based on their names.

I knocked on the door, and the person who opened it was Old Liu's son, four-year-old Liu Xiaoshan.

"Dad, Miss Luo is here."

"Come in!" Old Liu shouted with a head full of sawdust.

"Uncle Liu, how is my custom-made furniture?"

"Oh, Miss Luo, you ordered too much furniture. My sons and I worked all day this month, and we have only finished making 70% of the furniture.

The furniture you requested was made first, and now the furniture you requested for the guest rooms is still left."

"That's not urgent. I came to tell you that my house is almost finished. It will be completely finished in two days at the latest.

When the time comes, please bring the furniture over one by one and arrange it according to what we agreed upon at the beginning."

"That's no problem. Dashan, did you hear what Miss Luo said? Take Ershan and Sanshan with you when the time comes!"

"Okay, Dad, I got it!"

Liu Dashan, Liu Ershan and Liu Sanshan, who also had sawdust on their heads, shouted in unison.

······

Luo Xiaoran was a light sleeper and was woken up by a kick in the middle of the night.

After lighting the candle, I found out that Luo Xingchen had a dream about something. His limbs were twitching and when he touched his forehead, it was burning hot.

Luo Xiaoran immediately put on her clothes, wrapped Luo Xingchen in a cloak, and ran towards Du Kongqing's house.

An unexpected knock on the door pierced the tranquility of the night: "Kong Qing, open the door, it's me, Xiao Ran!"

Du Kongqing heard the sound and came out to open the door. Holding the candlestick in his hand, he looked at Luo Xingchen who was held in Luo Xiaoran's arms and asked hurriedly:

"Xiao Ran, what happened to Chen Er? Come in quickly!"

Luo Xiaoran strode in while holding Luo Xingchen in her arms, and said to Du Kongqing who had just locked the door:

"Is the fever what you call a cold? Is it a typhoid fever? Or a febrile disease?

Anyway, his forehead is burning hot and his limbs are twitching. Come and have a look."

Du Kongqing hurriedly led the two into the house and led Luo Xiaoran to her bed:

"Okay, okay, put Chen'er down first."

Luo Xiaoran put Luo Xingchen on the bed and unbuttoned his shirt:

"He must have just started convulsing and can't be woken up. Do you have any wine at home?"

"How about medicinal wine?" Du Kongqing answered as he placed the candlestick on the low cabinet in front of the bed.

"Okay, as long as it's wine!"

A faint female voice came from the other bedroom: "Qing'er, what happened?"

"Mom, my boss is here, please help me get Dad's medicinal wine!"

After speaking, Du Kongqing took Luo Xingchen's pulse:

"Fever convulsions, probably because I fell into the water yesterday. I didn't have an attack at the time, but a day later, when I relaxed, the illness came back."

"Is there any way to stop this seizure of his?"

The forehead is so hot, if it burns the brain, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Shall I give him an injection first?" Du Kongqing looked at Luo Xiaoran and spoke in a questioning tone.

After all, so far, she has only treated one person, Sun Qingyuan.

The current patient is the younger brother of Luo Xiaoran, whom she regards as her benefactor, so she is undecided.

"Okay, hurry up!"

Luo Xiaoran doesn't care about that. The situation is extremely urgent now.

Even if there was no curfew, even if he could go into the city now, it would take a long time on the road and Chen'er couldn't wait.

At this time, Du Kongqing's mother Du Kang came in with medicinal wine: "Hey, what's going on?"

Seeing Du Kongqing take out the silver needle and try to prick the child on the bed, Du Kang quickly put down the wine jar in his hand and grabbed his daughter's hand:

"Qing'er, what are you doing? You've never had acupuncture before!"

"Mom, it's too late. I'll explain to you later!" Du Kongqing said anxiously.

"No, no, if anything goes wrong, we can't afford it!" Du Kang disagreed.

Luo Xiaoran reached out and pulled down Du Kang's hand that was holding Du Kongqing:

"This is an urgent matter. I'll explain it to my aunt later. Let Kong Qing give the injection first."

Perhaps it was because Luo Xiaoran's expression was too serious, or perhaps it was because Du Kongqing's expression was too earnest, Du Kang didn't dare to say a word.

Du Kongqing warmed the silver needle over the candle twice, then accurately pierced several acupuncture points of Luo Xingchen.

After a while, not too long or too short, Luo Xingchen's convulsions slowly stopped.

Luo Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Du Kongqing.

Du Kongqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The convulsion problem has been solved, but I don't have any medicine for the high fever!"

Luo Xiaoran asked Du Kongqing to give up his position in front of the bed and began to undress Luo Xingchen.

"It's okay, Kong Qing, help me soak the sweat towel with medicinal wine, make two pieces, and I'll wipe Chen'er's body."

Du Kongqing hurriedly did as he was told. Luo Xiaoran took the wet towel, put one on Luo Xingchen's forehead, and used the other to wipe his body.

At this time, Du Kang called his daughter aside and asked her carefully:

"Kong Qing, what's going on? How dare you give me a needle? Haven't you never done it before?"

Du Kongqing sighed deeply: "Mom, after all, I have learned medical skills from Dad for so many years, I still know how to stop fright!"

Du Kongqing's mother has always regarded her husband as the backbone, and doesn't know much about her daughter.

His only concern was to urge Du Kongqing to study medicine with Du Shimu and inherit the medical knowledge of the Du family, but all these came to nothing after the news of Du Shimu's death.

"I see. Your father is a skilled doctor. You have studied with him for so many years, so you should know something about medicine."

Du Kang nodded, then looked at Luo Xiaoran beside the bed: "You just said this is your boss?"

"Yes, I am the boss of Kong Qing. My name is Luo Xiaoran. The person lying on the bed is my younger brother Luo Xingchen. May I know what your aunt's name is?"

Luo Xiaoran also heard the conversation between the two and took the initiative to greet Du Kang, but her hands continued to wiping.
