My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Early in the morning, Gu Lili was still asleep when she heard Gu Erniu's panicked voice.

Gu Lili got up quickly, put on her coat and shoes in a hurry, and ran to the shack next door.

At this time, Gu Sigou was already delirious due to fever and he didn't even open his eyes.

Gu Lili hurriedly climbed onto the bed and touched Gu Sigou's forehead with her hand. At this moment, Gu Sigou's forehead was already very hot.

Obviously, he had a high fever. Gu Lili quickly got out of bed and prepared to go to the corner of the kitchen to buy ibuprofen.

When Gu Lili looked up, she saw that Gu Ergou's face was abnormally red, so she quickly raised her hand to test his temperature.

Unexpectedly, Gu Erniu thought Gu Lili was going to hit him, and he was so scared that he subconsciously covered his head and squatted down.

"Erniu, what are you doing? I just want to test whether you are burning or not!" Gu Lili said unhappily.

When Gu Erniu heard what Gu Lili said, he stood up awkwardly and put his head in front of Gu Lili.

Gu Lili wanted to laugh. Was she too harsh on Gu Erniu? It seemed that she had to be gentler in the future.

She smiled and reached out her hand, and sure enough, it was also terribly hot.

"Erniu, you have a fever too. You and Sigou should lie in bed and rest for a while. I'll get some medicine for you." Gu Lili retracted the smile on her face and said seriously.

Gu Erniu nodded, took off his shoes obediently, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

It would have been fine if Gu Lili hadn't said that he was sick. But as soon as she said that, he felt as if his head was dizzy.

Gu Lili was very confused. It shouldn't have been cold last night, so why did both children have fever?

Today, since Gu Erniu is awake, he cannot buy ibuprofen suspension.

Gu Lili clicked on it and took a look. Fortunately, there were still powders available for purchase.

After Gu Lili bought the medicine, she hurried to boil water and make medicine for her two younger brothers.

After making the medicine, she gave it to the two of them to drink, and then Gu Lili seemed to remember something.

Why didn’t Gu Huanhuan get up today? If I got up on normal days, Gu Huanhuan would follow me after a while.

Gu Lili thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly walked towards the shack next door.

As soon as I entered, I saw Gu Huanhuan's face was also red. There was no doubt that she had a fever.

Gu Lili touched Gu Huanhuan's forehead and found that it was indeed the case.

Now Gu Huanhuan is just as drowsy as Gu Sigou due to fever.

Gu Lili couldn't help but blame herself. Last night, she felt very warm in bed and thought it was because of the quilt.

If I had discovered it earlier, Gu Huanhuan would have suffered less.

She hurried to the kitchen and made another bowl of medicine for Gu Huanhuan to drink.

After the three children took their medicine, Gu Lili went to make breakfast.

If you have a fever, you should eat something light.

Gu Lili cooked some rice porridge and fried some fern.

After it was done, Gu Lili went to call the three of them to get up and eat. They had been taking the medicine for half an hour, and their fever should have subsided.

"Erniu, Huanhuan, Sigou, it's time to eat." Gu Lili shouted as she walked towards the shack.

Unexpectedly, no one paid attention to her, so Gu Lili hurriedly walked towards the shack.

She first came to Gu Huanhuan's bed and put her hand over, but unexpectedly, the high fever had not subsided.

Gu Lili went to the shack next door to check on Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou.

They were in the same situation, and now Gu Lili was completely panicked.

She doesn't know anything about medicine, what should she do now?

Moreover, Gu Lili felt that her throat was beginning to feel uncomfortable and painful.

Gu Lili guessed that they might have the flu, but she was not sure because she didn't have a fever after all.

Gu Lili thought about it and decided to go to Yang Dabing's farm to take a look.

When I arrived at Yang Dabing’s house, I didn’t expect that there were so many people gathered in front of their house today.

Yang Dabing coughed and chased people out, "I'm out of medicine at home, go look somewhere else, don't bother me! I'm feeling very uncomfortable too!"

"Oh, you are so bold. Our whole family has a fever. How can we go somewhere else to see a doctor? Can't you be kind and tell us what medicine we should take? We can even go to the mountain to dig some ourselves." Tiedan's mother said on the side.

Yang Dabing said impatiently, "You are dreaming. If I give you the prescription, you can be a doctor in the future. Hurry up and leave! Besides, what you have might be plague. What if it gets to me later?"

Starting from yesterday evening, villagers began to come to see the doctor one after another. At first, Yang Dabing was quite happy.

Although he likes to curse people, anyone would be happy if someone gave them money.

However, as more and more people arrived, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

How could so many people get sick at once? I'm afraid they were all suffering from the plague.

Right now, I don’t have much medicine left at home. If it really is a plague, I’ll have to keep it for my family.

When Tiedan's mother heard what Yang Dabing said, she became furious. She had a hot temper to begin with, and she was only trying to talk to Yang Dabing in a nice way for the sake of her children and husband. She didn't expect Yang Dabing to curse her.

"You're the one who got the plague because of your mother's fart. Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death with a few slaps!"

While cursing, Tiedan's mother took off her straw sandals and was about to hit Yang Dabing in the face.

Yang Dabing was so scared that he closed the door.

"Tiedan's mother, you are infected with the plague!" After closing the door, Yang Dabing started cursing again.

Tiedan's mother was so angry that she was about to break the door, but Gu Lili and the other patients who were seeing the doctor nearby quickly stopped her.

"Aunt, don't bother with him. Since he doesn't want to look, why don't you go somewhere else?" Gu Lili said.

Seeing Gu Lili coming to persuade her, Tiedan's mother coughed a few times and said, "There is no doctor nearby. If we want to go, we can only go to Donghai Town. Alas, is what Yang Dadan said true? Is he really suffering from an epidemic?"

When everyone heard Yang Dabao say this, it just confirmed their guess.

If it wasn't an epidemic, why would so many people get sick all of a sudden?

Everyone sighed and said, "Let's make plans early. If we can walk to the town, let's go and take a look."

After Gu Lili came back from Yang Dadan's house, her face became serious.

The epidemic that Yang Dabao mentioned should be a contagious influenza.

It is possible that the outbreak occurred because of the freezing rain in the past few days.

In modern times, influenza and pneumonia can at least be treated with antibiotics. In ancient times, although traditional Chinese medicine was effective, it took too long to take effect.

Sometimes the body can no longer bear it before the fever subsides.

Therefore, people in ancient times could avoid influenza as much as possible.
