Chapter 118 Typhoid Fever
Sun Shan and Fatty were rescued and brought ashore.
A group of people came running from afar, with a woman in front shouting and screaming. The people who followed quickly picked up the fat boy and ran out in a hurry, shouting for a doctor.
Everything happened so fast that everyone on the shore was stunned.
He Shusheng, He Shuhan, and He Shuyao brought Sun Shan back to the house and asked him what had happened.
Sun Shan recounted what had happened.
He Shusheng scolded, "Shanzi, you are so small, and you are trying to save people by jumping into the water. It's too dangerous."
He Shuhan and He Shuyao echoed and warned: "Next time you see someone like that, go outside and call for help. Don't go into the water to save people yourself. It's too dangerous. If something happens to you, what will happen to your family?"
Sun Shan groaned, his whole body wet and uncomfortable.
The three He brothers led Sun Shan back to the house. Gu Yu came out to greet them. Seeing his brother soaked in water, he asked anxiously, "Cousin, what happened to Shan?"
The three He brothers recounted what had happened again.
Guyu said angrily: "Shanzi, why did you go down to the pond to save people? If something happened, what would my father and mother do?"
Thinking back now, Sun Shan felt that he was indeed reckless. He said sincerely, "Sister, I know I was wrong."
After a pause, he said, "Sister, I want to take a shower. I feel cold."
This is not a change of subject. Sun Shan really feels very cold, a prelude to catching a cold.
He then said to the three brothers of the He family, "Cousin, I have a runny nose. I'm afraid I have typhoid fever. I need to see a doctor." Your life is important. If you are sick, you should tell them loudly. Don't be embarrassed.
After hearing this, Guyu became even more nervous and said hurriedly, "Cousin, go to the store to find my aunt and tell her that Shanzi is suffering from typhoid fever and needs to see a doctor immediately. As for the drowning incident, don't tell anyone until we see the doctor."
Sun Boming was helping out in the shop. He was worried that his three cousins couldn't explain clearly. What if they only heard someone fell into the water and didn't know they were safe? He was afraid that he would be too anxious and something might happen.
The three He brothers responded and ran to the store on the main street to find Aunt Sun. My cousin has always been in poor health, so it's better to ask a doctor to check him out.
Guyu went to the kitchen and told the cook that he wanted to boil water for a bath.
He quickly walked back to the room, saw Sun Shan who had already changed his clothes, and led him to the kitchen.
I also took some ginger and onions and boiled ginger and onion water for bathing.
When the hot water was ready, Guyu reminded him, "Shanzi, wash while it's hot. Make sure to wash your whole body, okay?"
Sun Shan responded and washed himself from head to toe several times. It was hot in the summer, and the hot water made it even hotter. Washing with hot water containing ginger and onions was hot and stinging to the eyes.
It's just a habit. Every time I have a cold or a fever, Sun Boming and Su will always boil some strange water for bathing. Whether it works or not depends on probability.
After washing, Guyu helped Sun Shan dry his hair. Fortunately, he was a child with short and sparse hair, so it dried after wiping for a while.
Just as he was done, Sun Bomin rushed in and saw Guyu helping Sun Shan wipe his hair. He asked in confusion, "Shanzi, I heard from Han Ge'er that you have a runny nose. What's going on?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Once he did, he started to have a runny nose. Sun Shan sniffed his nose and said, "Dad, I think I'm going to have typhoid fever. I need to see a doctor."
I couldn't help but look. I knew my own body well. I had been soaking in the water for quite a long time and had been choked several times. I was afraid I really had a cold.
This is an age where even a cold can kill people, so it’s better to be cautious and save your life.
Guyu said to Sun Bomin: "Father, I just asked Shanzi to wash the ginger and scallion water."
Sun Bomin was puzzled and said, "Why did I catch a cold for no reason? Could it be that the medicine that Doctor Yao prescribed is not suitable for me?"
I saw a doctor in the morning and took medicine after lunch. Everything was fine. How come I got typhoid fever after taking the medicine?
I have only taken Dr. Yao's medicine during this period, so there must be something wrong with the medicine.
Could it be that I couldn't stand the medicine? Or maybe the runny nose was one of the symptoms of Dr. Yao's medicine?
Sun Bomin couldn't figure it out and was very worried about Shanzi's physical condition.
When Sun Shan and Gu Yu heard Sun Bomin say that Doctor Yao's medicine was not good, they felt sorry for Doctor Yao, but they did not dare to tell the truth. They waited until the doctor had examined the medicine before explaining it to Sun Bomin.
Sun Shan had a runny nose and sneezed several times, which made Sun Boming even more anxious.
Not long after Sun Bomin came back, the village chief and De Geer also came back and asked in confusion, "Why did Shanzi catch a cold for no reason?"
De Ge'er's eyes rolled around and he looked at Sun Shan all over, but he couldn't figure out anything.
At this time, Aunt Sun and the three brothers of the He family came in with a doctor. Judging from Aunt Sun's appearance, she should know the truth.
Aunt Sun said anxiously, "Uncle, please take a look. The child has been soaking in water for quite a while."
Sun Shan was lying on the bed. Doctor He carefully examined him, and comforted everyone: "It's nothing. You have been in the water for too long. You are weak to begin with, so it's easy to catch a cold. I will prescribe some medicine. You will be fine after you boil it and take it."
He also praised Guyu for taking a shower with ginger and scallion water, which forced out the coldness in his body.
When Aunt Sun heard that Shanzi was not seriously injured, her tense heart relaxed. She ordered the three He brothers to send Doctor He back and asked the servants to go and get the medicine.
Sun Bomin asked in confusion: "Sister, what do you want to soak in water?"
What happened? I couldn't understand what my elder sister and the doctor were saying!
The village chief and De Ge'er didn't understand either and looked at Aunt Sun in confusion.
Guyu explained the whole process.
Sun Bomin touched his chest in fear and angrily scolded: "Shanzi, why are you so unruly? You are just a child, and you go to save people. What if you get dragged into the water? What will your parents do?"
Sun Shan lowered his head in shame, not daring to speak. Sun Bomin was right to scold him. If something unexpected happened, his family would be so sad.
With red eyes, she said, "Dad, I won't dare to do it again. Next time I see someone like that, I will run out and call for help. I will never save someone on my own again."
After Sun Bomin finished cursing, the village chief cursed, and the good-tempered Sun Dagu also cursed a few words.
Sun Shan accepted them one by one.
After cursing, Aunt Sun said gently, "Shanzi, it's right to save people, but you should save them when you can save yourself. If you drown, I will never see you again, and I will be very sad."
Sun Shan hummed, and said with tears in his eyes, "Aunt, I understand. I won't show off my strength anymore."
When Aunt Sun saw that he knew he was wrong, she stopped scolding him and told Guyu to take good care of him.
He then pulled Sun Bomin and the village chief out to talk, but Sun Shan had no idea what they were talking about.
De Geer said unhappily, "Shanzi, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Oh, I'm lucky this time. Humph, you always told me not to go swimming, and I always listened to you. Now it seems that Shanzi, you are not honest and can't lead by example. Don't say anything about me in the future.
It's so dangerous to go into the water, and you're saving people."
Sun Shan admitted his mistake and told De Ge'er to stop talking and said he would not go into the water next time. De Ge'er then reluctantly stopped talking.
As they chatted, the two brothers said they would not go into the water and would stay away from the shore.
After Sun Shan drank the medicine, he felt very sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
