Chapter 102 Doctor Xia Suffers from Heatstroke
The food was served quickly at the Farmhouse Inn. The dishes were simple, with a plate of lettuce and a plate of braised chicken. It was like fast food. In addition, there was an egg soup.
The man said enthusiastically, "If you don't have enough food, go to the kitchen to get some. Hot water is also in the kitchen. If you have any questions, ask someone. Sir, please help yourself. I'll leave first."
After everyone left, the village chief raised his chopsticks and said, "Everyone eat."
Sun Shan picked up a piece of chicken and it tasted good. Farm chicken is really delicious.
Sun Bomin and Guyu put chicken in Sun Shan's bowl. Sun Shan shook his head, indicating that he couldn't eat it anymore. He told his father and sister to eat it by themselves.
De Geer said happily: "Grandpa, uncle, the chicken is delicious."
Sun Bomin smiled and asked, "Are you tired today?"
De Geer shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. I didn't walk."
Except for the sun and heat, I was not tired during the journey. I didn't get carsick, and I slept for the whole afternoon while sitting in the car.
After dinner, Sun Bomin took Guyu, Sun Shan, and De Ge'er to the kitchen to take a bath. Especially Guyu, a girl, Sun Bomin was worried, so he arranged for De Ge'er and Sun Shan to watch in the kitchen, and he watched outside the kitchen.
After that, the Sun family took turns to wash the clothes. Guyu rushed to wash the clothes and said seriously, "Grandpa, Dad, give me your clothes. I can wash them quickly and cleanly."
The village chief is old, so there is no need to be taboo. Sun Boming, Sun Shan, and De Ge'er don't need to be taboo either.
After washing up, everyone lay quietly in bed and went to sleep.
Because they slept a lot during the day, Sun Shan and De Ge'er stared at the beams of the house.
De Geer whispered, "Shanzi, this is my first time staying in an inn."
A farm house is also an inn, what De Ge'er said is right.
Sun Shan nodded and understood why this village was richer than Sunjia Village.
Located at a transportation fortress, merchants and travelers all stop here, so it is hard not to get rich.
People traveling between Huangyang County and the outside world have to pass through here. Every household here is engaged in the catering and accommodation industry, so their pockets are naturally bulging.
De Geer said again: "Shanzi, I think the meal tonight is better than the one at home, what do you think?"
Sun Shan nodded. The reason why other people’s food smells good is because it’s fresh. After eating too much outside, one will naturally like home-cooked food.
De Geer whispered again: "Shanzi, the uncle who was traveling with us has become fatter."
Sun Shan rolled his eyes at him and said seriously, "Don't talk about others behind their backs, or you'll get beaten."
The middle-aged man traveling with us was surnamed Xia. He was the eldest in his family, about the same age as Sun Boming, and ran a cloth shop in the county town.
This trip to the capital was to purchase goods. In one afternoon, the village chief had a clear understanding of Xia Dalang's background.
Sun Shan believed that Xia Dalang became friendly with them because he heard that the Sun family had a daughter marrying into the He family, a family in Guangnan Province that had an official in Beijing and had a grandson who was a scholar, and he wanted to make friends with them.
De Ge'er whispered again: "Shanzi, what do you think about me becoming a bodyguard in the future?"
Today, I saw the burly and strong bodyguards holding swords and showing off their power. De Geer has a hero complex and wants to be like that kind of person.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Brother De, you can't be a bodyguard. You can't endure hardship. I heard from my uncle and aunt that you are often lazy and don't work."
After hearing this, De Geer immediately retorted: "Shanzi, I am very hardworking. My father and mother are slandering me."
Sun Shan closed his eyes and didn't want to talk to him any more.
When I saw that Butcher Zheng had meat every day, I said I wanted to be a butcher in the future. When I saw that acrobatics were fun, I said I wanted to learn from them.
None of what they say is true.
When we get to the city, and see that Ming Ge is eating well, maybe he will go back to work as a waiter.
De Ge'er wanted to say something, but Gu Yu said gently, "De Ge'er, go to bed quickly. We have to travel tomorrow."
The constant chirping of crickets outside did not affect anyone's sleep quality at all.
As soon as I woke up, I washed up and started on my way.
Sitting on the donkey cart, looking at the mountain road going farther and farther away, this is a small and simple version of the winding mountain road. Going around the mountain, after going around a mountain, continue to go around the next mountain.
If it were in the previous life, as long as we dug a tunnel between the mountains, we would actually be very close to the city.
After walking for a whole morning, Sun Bomin found a slightly flat place to rest. He quickly set up a pot and cooked a pot of bacon and wild vegetable porridge for his family. The wild vegetables were picked up at random.
After lunch, we continued on our journey.
Even sitting on the donkey cart, the summer heat made people listless. The lively and active Dege'er was like a deflated balloon, not to mention the weak Sun Shan.
Guyu quickly gave his brother some salt and sugar water, and he felt a little better.
As for why it was salt and sugar water, it was Sun Shan's special request. When his family asked why, Sun Shan didn't want to explain and rolled on the ground, insisting that he wanted to drink such water.
As they walked, Xia Dalang, who was traveling with them, began to sweat all over. He covered his chest and suddenly shouted, "Master Zhang, stop. I can't stand it."
Just as he finished speaking, his vision went dark and he rolled heavily off the car to the ground.
Escort Zhang stopped the car in a panic and said, "Manager Xia, what's wrong with you?"
The experienced Sun Boming knew what was going on. Shanzi had fainted in the same way not long ago. He must have had heatstroke.
The village chief and Sun Bomin got out of the car quickly, carried Xia Dalang to the shade of a tree nearby, and quickly tore off his shirt. Guyu quickly wet a towel with water and asked Sun Bomin to apply it to his forehead, neck and other parts.
The village chief pinched Xia Dalang's Ren Zhong point to wake him up.
Sun Shan quickly opened the water bag, which was filled with salt and sugar water, and poured it into Xia Dalang's mouth. After a while, Xia Dalang finally regained some consciousness.
De Ge'er quickly picked up some firewood and came back. Guyu set up the pot and took out the summer heat-relief medicine to cook.
Huang and Su were worried that Sun Shan would get heatstroke again on the road, so they asked the doctor to prescribe some heat-relief medicine before he left, as well as some pills for stomachaches.
When escort leader Zhu saw Xia Dalang wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief. If he died on the way, the escort agency would be responsible.
He asked with concern: "Manager Xia, are you okay?"
Xia Dalang said weakly, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Zhu Biaotou shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as you're okay."
Because Xia Dalang suddenly suffered from heatstroke, the escort team had to stop by the roadside to rest and wait until he felt a little better before setting off again.
Guyu cooked a pot of heat-relief medicine, brought a bowl over, and said gently, "Uncle Xia, drink the medicine quickly. My brother had a heat stroke before, and he got better after drinking these medicines."
Xia Dalang thanked him and gulped down the drink without any hesitation. Saving his life was the most important thing.
Guyu cooked another big pot, and the village chief said to Zhu Biaotou, "You guys drink it too, it will cool you down, the weather is too hot."
Zhu Biaotou thanked him and took his brothers to drink some summer heat-relief medicine.
Sun Shan and De Ge'er also drank a bowl. Although it tasted bad, it was effective.
After resting for a while and making sure that Xia Dalang was fine, the team set off again.
We can't waste any more time, otherwise we won't be able to reach the accommodation and will have to sleep in the mountains.
