The tent was thrown into chaos by the sudden accident.

Fubao squeezed through the crowd and saw the old woman lying unconscious. He shouted, "Grandma Jin! What happened?"

Zhao Xiuer's face was covered with tears. She choked and said, "I just came in to help her sit down, and she fainted when she drank a sip of water..."

Zhou Qiaoping said anxiously, "His face is pale. He must have been frightened. It's cold outside. He must have caught a cold."

Fubao stretched out his little hand and touched her forehead: "It's so hot! It must be because of the rain that you have a fever."

Zhao Xiuer was at a loss, helplessly saying: "What should I do? What should I do... It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on taking her away, she wouldn't have..."

Fu Bao comforted her, "It's okay, mother. I don't blame you. Let me try."

The medical book was still well preserved in the space, but Fubao had not bothered to read it before. No one here knew medical skills, and now no one except her could save Grandma Jin.

Fu Bao said seriously, "Separate this place first, and everyone change clothes, otherwise I'm afraid everyone will catch a cold."

As he spoke, he took out a large piece of cotton cloth from the space. Li Shuangrong took it swiftly and hung it in the middle of the tent. The man was outside and the woman was inside.

The clothes in the bag had already been soaked during the escape. Fortunately, most of them were still placed in the space, so there were dry clothes to wear.

Zhao Xiuer changed Granny Jin into dry clothes and covered her with a thin blanket: "Fubao, are you almost ready?"

Fu Bao was trying hard to find herbs in the medicine field according to the medical book. He was already very anxious, and he also had to take care of Zhao Xiuer's emotions: "Mother, it will be done soon, don't worry."

Granny Jin seemed to have regained some consciousness. She coughed and murmured, "My head hurts, my body hurts too... I'm so cold."

Zhao Xiuer quickly brought another quilt over to cover her.

Hearing her whisper, Fubao quickly drew water from the well and soaked the ephedra in the water.

Then he frowned and said to Zhao Xiu'er, "Mother, change your clothes first. When Granny Jin gets better, what will you do if you are sick? You have to take care of yourself first, then you can take care of her."

Fubao watched her get up to get dry clothes, and he knew that she had heard him.

The little man walked out with a pile of coats and said to the men sitting together, "Dad, make a fire. The clothes are wet and need to be dried."

Li Shuangrong took the clothes and said, "Okay, put on an extra coat to avoid catching a cold."

Fu Bao responded: "I know."

Seeing the people washed by the heavy rain, all of them looked listless, Fubao was a little worried. It was the easiest time to catch a cold, so he couldn't take it lightly.

She took out some ginger and red dates, handed them to Zhang Ercui and said, "Aunt, we've all been caught in the rain. Please make some ginger soup to drive away the cold for everyone."

Zhang Ercui took the ginger and said, "Don't be so pretentious. We are all country people and we are in good health." But she still went to cut the ginger and make soup.

Calculating the time, Fubao took the ephedra out of the ceramic pot and asked Zhao Xiuer to boil it in a casserole with water over high heat, then simmer it on low heat for a while. Atractylodes macrocephala, cinnamon twig, licorice and almond were added to it, which made Fubao very busy.

After boiling the medicine, Zhao Xiuer fed Granny Jin little by little with a spoon. They were relieved when she began to sweat and sleep more soundly.

Zhang Ercui came in with ginger soup and said softly, "Drink it, Miss!"

Fubao took it with a smile and said sweetly, "Thank you, auntie!"

Zhao Xiu'er didn't want to drink it, as she was now thinking about Grandma Jin's illness. Fubao was worried, as she was usually weak, so how could she not drink a sip? He forced her to drink more than half a bowl.

Zhou Qiaoping prepared today's dinner. Fubao brought out vegetables, chicken, pork, and vermicelli made earlier. Although there were only three dishes, the portions were large enough to fill the whole family.

Li Huaiqing: "So many things have happened before we even left Linzhou. It looks like this long journey is not easy to travel——"

Xiao Shui's face was tense, and her tone was full of apology: "It's my inconsiderateness that caused you so much trouble for nothing."

Several people immediately became anxious and said at once: "How can we blame you? You have helped us enough."

"This Shi Hong was just an accident. Who would have thought that he would run into this? It has nothing to do with you."

"Uncle Xiaoshui, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know the way to Yuzhou. We might have been caught by those bad guys a long time ago."

……

Xiaoshui's complexion finally looked better, and even his ferocious face became gentle.

At night, they spread quilts on the thick straw and slept on the floor. Fortunately, the old man loved to fluff cotton, otherwise there would not be enough quilts for so many people.

The little ones were very strong, they didn't cry or make a fuss, and followed the adults obediently. At this time, they slept in a row on one side of the tent, looking even cuter.

Fubao settled her family and treated Grandma Jin. Sitting on the ground, she felt a lingering fear. What if someone's illness was urgent next time and she couldn't wait to look up the medical book? What if she was not well-trained and misjudged the condition and made them drink the wrong medicine?

Listening to Grandma Jin's even breathing, my heart started beating wildly. I had to memorize the book carefully and find a doctor to teach me when I got to Yuzhou. My half-baked skills were not good enough.

Xiao Hei was the big hero of the family today. Even Zhang Ercui, who was most afraid of wolves, broke off a small piece of her steamed bun to feed it.

At this time, it was lying on the straw next to Fubao, snoring.

The rain was still falling, but fortunately the land had good drainage and the bottom of the tent was waterproof, so we had a dry place to live in. In order to prevent it from being blown away, Xiaoshui went out and pressed a lot of big stones in the corners.

Zhou Qiaoping looked at the lit candle and her sitting on the ground, and said softly, "Fubao, come here and sleep."

Only then did she tiptoe to blow out the candle and get into the dry and warm bed.

In the middle of the night, Fubao woke up and fed Grandma Jin medicine again. He yawned and went back to bed, having a dreamless night.

The next morning, I opened my eyes to the smell of food and went to see Grandma Jin. She was already awake and was sitting and chatting with Zhao Xiuer.

Fubao: "Grandma Jin, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

The old man smiled kindly and said gently: "It's healed now, thanks to you."

Fu Bao took out the last dose of medicine and said, "Wait until you finish your meal and then take the last dose."

The old man smiled and agreed: "Okay, little doctor!"

Fubao went out with a smile, and Xiaoshui was nailing a shelf with wood.

Fubao: "What is this used for?"

Xiao Shui looked up at her, then lowered his head to work: "The cows are still outside getting wet, build a shed for them."

The frame has taken shape and all it needs to be done is nail it into the ground and cover it with a layer of wooden boards.

Fu Bao watched him fill the gaps between the wooden boards with great effort, took out a piece of waterproof tarpaulin, and said, "Just cover it with this, no need to go through so much trouble."

Xiaoshui took the cloth, carried the frame and walked into the rain, and quickly built a cowshed. He also brought some grass to feed the cows.

The only sound around was the sound of raindrops falling on the ground and hitting the tent.

Fu Bao sighed, "We don't know how long it will take us to leave now. It's out in the wilderness, there's not even a single person in sight, are there any wild animals?"

Before Xiaoshui could say anything, a thin figure came from afar, holding an old paper umbrella, and said in a cheerful voice: "Who said there was no one here?"
