e. It's either a blessing or a curse, if it's a curse we can't avoid it anyway, so what At least up to now, we've gotten lucky, hehe…"Seeing his joyful laughter, Gu Huan felt speechless. "What good fo...The courtyard of the Gu family was rarely so quiet. Everything needed had been prepared long ago. Xu Huaiyi never did things like plugging his ears right before leaving. Like always, after waking up, he'd call for Gu Xiaoyu to go for a run, exercising was important, and consistency was key. How could one disrupt their schedule because of some little thing However...

He couldn't see Gu Xiaoyu outside.

"Did that kid sleep in" Xu Huaiyi let out an unexpected "eh," but he wasn't too surprised. After all, he knew firsthand how exhausted everyone was yesterday, and he himself went to bed late and struggled to wake up this morning.

He patted the door of Xiyuan's house and shouted, "Xiaoyu, get up!"

After he finished shouting, there was still no movement inside.

This time, Xu Huaiyi felt something was wrong. He pushed the door hard, but it wouldn't budge. Something solid was blocking it, not moving an inch. Luckily, the window was half open. He nimbly jumped in and saw Gu Xiaoyu lying on the earthen bed with her eyes closed. Her delicate face was flushed red, like she had been smeared with rouge.

He touched Gu Xiaoyu's forehead, and sure enough, it was burning hot.

"Little fish, little fish…" He swayed gently, his movements more tender than usual.

It's a pity that Gu Xiaoyu was muddled and utterly unaware. He tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt as if they were weighed down by lead. His mind was like it was filled with glue. He vaguely heard someone calling his name, but his body was completely beyond his control. Even his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound, only a feeble whisper, "Hot..."

"Can he not be hot Xu Huaiyi estimated that he had a fever of 38.9 degrees. He quickly opened the door and went to call Gu Huanxi, "Wife, Xiao Yu has a fever..."

Seeing that Gu Hanyi's clothes were rumpled, she rushed to the west room and touched Gu Xiaoyu's forehead. Her face instantly turned serious, "She has a fever of thirty-nine degrees..."

When a child had a fever in ancient times, it was a very dangerous thing. A common cold could take their life. Therefore, surviving to seven or eight years old was considered safe. Before that, parents didn't dare to be careless.

Xu Huaiyi immediately became nervous, "What should we do I'll go find Dr. Jiao to take a look..."

"Wait a minute!" Gu Huanxi stopped him, reminding him with a hint, "Don't we have medicine"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huaiyi slowly reacted, and the frown on his face also gradually relaxed. "Yes, yes, we have medicine. As long as we have the medicine, we're not afraid. I'll go get it right now..."

The car was stocked with a variety of medicines. There were medications for adults and infants, and they were much more effective than the traditional tonics from ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi arrived very quickly. He not only brought two bowls of medicine, but also alcohol swabs. The color of the medicine was slightly dark, with a faint scent of pear juice.

Gu Huanyi gave him a satisfied look. In key moments, intelligence still comes online. Not only did he thoughtfully bring alcohol cotton to reduce fever, but he was also the most careful to bring medicine.

Originally, both kinds of medicine were powders that turned a very light color when mixed with water. They were far from the appearance of traditional Chinese medicine and couldn't be disguised easily. But after he added pear paste to them, the color became much darker.

"Little Fish, wake up and drink your medicine..." Gu Huanxi hugged Gu Xiaoyu in her arms, pinched his nose, and waited for him to open his eyes with difficulty. She brought the bowl to his lips and coaxed softly, "Little Fish, be good, after you finish the medicine, you won't feel so uncomfortable."

Gu Xiao Yu was still a little dazed, but instinctively listened to her and opened her mouth to drink the medicine.

The medicinal water with pear paste added is sweet and delicious, very refreshing to drink.

Gu Huan fed him two bowls in succession, one for fever and the other for inflammation. He drank them all obediently, then burrowed into her arms, clutching at her collar and saying pitifully, "Mama, Xiaoyu is still hot..."

Gu Huanxi was so smitten with his appearance that her maternal love overflowed. She hugged and cuddled him, making Xu Huaiyi incredibly sour. But he wasn't idle either; his paternal love soared as well. He constantly wiped the child down with alcohol swabs, cleaning his forehead, palms, and soles of his feet. Why didn't he snuggle into his arms or act coquettishly towards him

The air was thick with the scent of alcohol. Gu Huan quickly stopped him, "Alright, go get some cloth and dip it in cold water. That will feel better. If you keep wiping this stuff, I'll be drunk."

Xu Huaiyi reluctantly agreed, took out a cloth, and placed it on Gu Xiaoyu's forehead. He said sourly, "Let him go. You were so close to him, you might get infected too."

Gu Huaxiang said to him speechless, “You don't have to worry so much, aren't you still going to pack dumplings Hurry up, and when he recovers from the fever, I'll go help you.”

"...Daughter-in-law..."

Stop talking and get going. Oh, and make some more rice porridge for Xiao Yu, she's sick and doesn't have much appetite. Porridge with salted vegetables is easier to eat.

Xú Huáiyì heard this and said with a strange expression, "Just congee and pickled vegetables That won't do. I'll boil him two eggs to make up for his strength."

Gu Huanxi laughed at his tone, "Are you childish"

Xu Huaiyi didn't think it was childish. He tapped his own face and insisted on kissing Gu Huanxi before contentedly going to wrap dumplings.

Get on the bus for dumplings, get off for noodles. This is something you can't compromise on.

Xu Huaiyi busied himself, humming a little tune in his mouth. There was not the slightest hint of reluctance at being about to set off on a journey, nor any anxiety or worry about fleeing their home. Only anticipation for the trip.

Inside the room, Gu Huaxi waited for Gu Xiaoyu until his back began to sweat. Only then did she put him down. Sweating meant a fever breaking, and the worry in her heart also eased.

Gu Xiaoyu also woke up at this moment, although she wasn't quite awake yet, her mind was clear. Thinking about how she had just been acting coquettishly in her mother's arms, she felt a flush of shame and couldn't bear to look at Gu Huanxi's happy face.

Gu Huan smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead, teasing him, "What's there to be ashamed of It's natural for you to act coquettish with your mother. What are you embarrassed about, hmm"

Gu Xiaoyu couldn't speak, only her ear tips turned red and her eyes were glistening, finally showing the adorable look of a child.

Gu Huan saw this and sighed inexplicably, "You sleep for a while longer, when it's time for dinner, your mother will come and wake you up."

Gu Xiaoyu struggled to get up, "Mother, I'm fine..."

Gu Huan pressed him down, "Come on, take a rest for a while longer. You just started sweating, no need to rush out."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu obediently lay back down.

Gu Huanxi helped him tuck in his blanket and then went to the east room to tidy up the bedding and warm clothes on the kang. She also carried everything she could move, food and drink, into the carriage. She squeezed and crammed things in as best she could to make it look neat and tidy, so as not to see a messy sight that would be painful and annoying. Even though she was very careful, after putting all the things she wanted to take into the carriage, there was still barely enough space for two or three people to sit down.

Still, Hsu Huai-yi came over and put some things that weren't afraid of wind or rain on the roof of the car, tying them down with ropes. This finally made the space inside the car feel airy and comfortable, no longer like it was about to burst at the seams.ok that records many traditional Chinese medicine formulas, as well as methods for diagnosing and treating diseases.
