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

Gu Lili's face turned pale with anxiety and she almost cried out.

Why doesn't this ibuprofen work anymore?

Gu Lili quickly lit a fire to boil water, preparing to cool Gu Erniu down physically.

Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou saw Gu Lili wanted to boil water, so they hurried over to help.

Gu Huanhuan went to light the fire, and Gu Sigou went outside to bring in firewood.

Gu Lili quickly cleaned out the pot for cooking noodles and added water to boil it.

Physical cooling does not require boiling water.

When the water was heated up, Gu Lili quickly brought the basin, scooped the water into the basin, took a cloth for wiping his face, and quickly took it to cool down Gu Erniu.

"Huanhuan, please boil some more water. I will need it later." After saying this, Gu Lili left with the water.

Gu Huanhuan quickly added some cold water into the pot and continued to boil it.

Gu Lili used a towel to wipe Gu Erniu's palms, soles of feet and forehead.

When one basin of water is getting cold, change it to another one.

For a whole hour, Gu Lili did not stop what she was doing and kept wiping Gu Erniu's body.

Maybe it was because of her illness, Gu Lili felt so weak. It wasn't difficult to wipe her body, but she felt so tired.

During this time, Gu Lili would rub it for a while and then test Gu Erniu's temperature again.

But there has been no sign of retreat, which makes Gu Lili very worried.

Gu Lili thought about it and decided that she had to go to Donghai Town.

"Huanhuan, Sigou, you two stay and look after your second brother. I'll be back soon." Gu Lili said to Gu Huanhuan and the others.

Huanhuan and Sigou nodded repeatedly and walked to Erniu to guard him.

Gu Erniu weighs about the same as Gu Lili. In addition, Gu Lili is a little weak now, so it is obviously impossible to carry her to Donghai Town.

Therefore, Gu Lili planned to go to the village to get the ox cart and take Gu Erniu to Donghai Town to find a doctor.

Sizhu's family lives at the west end of the village, quite some distance away from Gu Lili's family.

Gu Lili walked quickly. Some time ago, when people had not finished their lunch, there were always many people in the village going to work in the fields.

However, today, when Gu Lili walked in the village, she didn't see a single person.

It seems that the disease has spread.

Thinking of this, Gu Lili couldn't help but quicken her pace.

When I arrived at Sizhu's house, I found that the gate was closed.

Gu Lili knocked on the door quickly and shouted, "Uncle, uncle, are you home?"

After shouting several times, there was no movement in the yard.

Someone came out from next door.

"Lili, Sizhu's father drove the ox cart early in the morning and took Sizhu to Donghai Town for medical treatment. He is not at home!" said an aunt while coughing.

This made Gu Lili's heart drop to the bottom.

The only means of transportation in this village is Sizhu's father's ox cart. Sizhu's father has gone to Donghai Town. What should we do?

Unable to find the ox cart, Gu Lili had no choice but to walk home.

As I walked, I was thinking about what to do.

Since I can’t go to Donghai Town, it seems I can only save myself.

When Gu Lili returned home, Huanhuan was imitating her way of cooling down Gu Erniu.

Gu Lili went to the kitchen and bought a book on how to reduce fever and started studying it.

The book says that massage and bloodletting can be used to reduce fever.

Gu Lili decided to try massage first. The book said that one needs to push the Tianhe water from bottom to top 200 times, which is the position from the wrist to the inner side of the elbow.

Then gently rub the Hegu point, which is the base of the thumb, for three to five minutes.

Also, gently massage the Fengchi point at the back of the head for five minutes.

You also need to clean the Tianzhu bone two hundred to three hundred times.

Gu Lili bought a bottle of moisturizing oil and hurried to give Gu Erniu a massage.

Gu Huanhuan did not stop what she was doing, and both of them tried hard to reduce Erniu's fever.

After the massage, Gu Lili quickly tested Gu Erniu's temperature, but it still hadn't subsided.

Gu Lili wondered if she was too impatient, so she sat aside and waited.

"Wow...Sister, I hope my second brother is okay? I'm so scared!" Gu Sigou who was standing aside couldn't help but burst into tears.

He watched as his two sisters tried to reduce Gu Erniu's fever, but his second brother showed no signs of waking up.

This made him feel a little scared.

Gu Lili was not afraid at all, as she had never studied medicine.

If you have learned it, you can also buy some potions from the mall and give them to Gu Erniu.

Gu Erniu's high fever won't go away at the moment, he must have inflammation in his body, and the IV needs to be combined with antibiotics to be effective.

However, most of these antibiotics can cause allergies. Even if I dare to give Gu Erniu an IV, if he has an allergic reaction, I really will have no place to cry.

If you are allergic to antibiotics and don't get timely treatment, it could be fatal.

Gu Huanhuan's eyes were also filled with tears at this moment, and she looked at the two children with worry.

Gu Lili forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Don't worry, sister won't let anything happen to your second brother."

Gu Lili really couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to try another method.

That's bloodletting!

Gu Lili followed the instructions in the book and found Gu Erniu's Shaoshang acupoint. Then she bought a special needle for blood drawing, gritted her teeth, and inserted the needle.

After finishing everything, Gu Lili wiped the sweat from her forehead and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Gu Erniu's fever would subside soon.

Gu Lili still didn't dare to take it lightly and continued to cool down Gu Erniu physically.

After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Lili reached out to test Gu Erniu's temperature again.

It actually seemed to have decreased a lot, and Gu Erniu's complexion was much better, which finally made Gu Lili feel more at ease.

Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh, Chinese medicine is indeed profound!

About half an hour later, Gu Erniu's temperature finally subsided.

"Sister, I'm hungry!" Gu Erniu said after he opened his eyes, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

Gu Lili said quickly, "Sister will go and heat up the noodles for you right away!"

If Gu Erniu spoke like this at ordinary times, Gu Lili would definitely laugh at him.

However, Gu Erniu still looked extremely weak, so Gu Lili was reluctant to say anything.

Being hungry meant that the illness was cured. Gu Lili was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.

When Gu Sigou saw that Gu Erniu had woken up, he quickly took off his shoes and got into Gu Erniu's bed.

He held Gu Erniu tightly and refused to let go.

"Second brother, please don't sleep so long next time, okay? I'm a little scared!" Gu Sigou said with tears in his eyes.

Gu Erniu looked at his younger brother in his arms and touched his head.

When Gu Sigou was little, he liked to sleep with his arms around me like this.

But as I grew older, I became embarrassed to hug me.

Maybe he was really scared this time.

"Si Gou, don't be afraid. Next time, second brother won't sleep so long. Don't be afraid, ha!" Gu Si Gou comforted.
