Chapter 13 13 Zhao Lian buys medicine
Zhao Lian hurriedly cooked the medicine and fed it to Grandma Wu.
He also used local methods to cool down, and was busy for most of the day.
He drove the four children back to their room and left Xiya to be taken care of by Damai.
He sat next to Wu Bo and choked with sobs: "The third uncle said that without the kind of pills from the health center, my mother might..."
Wu Bo had already noticed something was wrong with Zhao Lian, but if she didn't say anything, he could only worry.
Now that I know the whole story, my whole body feels numb.
She asked with trembling lips: "How, how could it be possible? Mother..."
Zhao Lian stroked Wu Bo's chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm telling you this because I want you to take care of me at home. I've prepared my mother's antipyretic medicine."
"You feed her a little after a while and stabilize your mother's condition."
"I'll go to the commune and buy medicine. As long as I have medicine, I'll be fine."
Wu Bo came to his senses: "Are you going to the commune?"
"No, it's too dangerous. It's twenty or thirty miles away, and you're not even out of confinement yet. How can you go there?"
"I'll go, I'll go to the commune."
Lift the quilt and get out of bed.
Zhao Lian stopped him and said, "You are still sick. If you fall down on the road, you will not be able to bring back your mother's medicine. Isn't this a mistake?"
"I'm going. I'm fine. I'll be back soon. Don't argue with me. This matter can't be delayed."
Wu Bo was still worried: "Why don't I ask the captain for help? Ask him to help two young and strong men come over. We will pay back this kindness slowly in the future."
Zhao Lian shook her head: "In such a cold weather, even if others are willing, we can't open our mouths."
"We are not at the end of our rope. It is not good to burden others."
"Don't worry, I know the way to the commune, there will be no problem."
Wu Bo also knew that it is hard to return a favor.
The important thing is that his mother's identity as a landowner has allowed many people to suppress his family openly and covertly.
They didn't have a close relationship with the people in the village, so they were afraid that asking someone to take the risk to buy medicine might not work.
Wu Bo struggled and hated himself for not being able to do it. At the critical moment, there was nothing he could do.
Not wanting to delay any more, Zhao Lian patted Wu Bo on the shoulder, got up and left.
Wu Bo opened his mouth several times but was unable to say anything to stop him.
Xiao Xiya was teased by her sisters and had no idea about the difficulties at home.
The system master looked very excited and secretly prepared to teach Xiao Xiya a lesson so that she would not take signing in seriously.
Wu Bo couldn't lie down in bed, so he got up and went to the next door, looking at his mother from time to time and then at the empty door.
As the sky darkened, Zhao Lian's guilt for not stopping her became more and more obvious.
Wu Bo's strange behavior attracted the attention of several children except Xiya.
The four children were all brought back to the Wu family, and the family did not hide this from them.
Even if they hide it, people in the village will tell it.
That would make the child think too much, so just tell the truth.
The three Wu family members were very kind to the four sisters and did not make them feel dependent on others or have any other emotions, so the sisters were very comfortable at home.
But there are always people out there who have malicious intentions and will say unpleasant things in front of their children, which makes the four sisters feel uneasy.
This kind of anxiety is not obvious, but subconsciously, you will be more careful, your mind will become more sensitive, and your perception of things will be more acute than other children.
Damai settled several sisters, walked to Wu Bo, and asked anxiously: "Dad, where is mom? Why hasn't grandma recovered after being sick for a day?"
Wu Bo's heart froze and his nose felt sore.
He rubbed Damai's head: "Mom went to buy medicine for grandma. Grandma will be fine after taking the medicine. Don't worry."
Damai was not easy to fool, so he asked doubtfully: "Is Third Grandpa's medicine useless? Isn't it enough? How about I go find Third Grandpa to change my career again?"
"It's getting dark soon. Mom, please go home quickly. I heard that wolves will come down the mountain at night, which is very dangerous."
There was fear and timidity in his tone, his eyes were red, and he was about to shed tears at any time.
Wu Bo thought about what happened to him and his mother in danger yesterday, and he regretted not stopping Zhao Lian even more.
My heart ached, and I was almost choked with sobs that I couldn't speak: "The medicine is enough. There is no need to go to Grandpa San to buy it. Mom will be home soon. Don't worry. You can help dad take care of the sisters, okay?"
"
Damai pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, then raised her eyes to look into Wu Bo's eyes and asked: "Dad, is grandma going to die?"
Wu Bo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, your grandma will be fine."
Damai's tears fell down, and he quickly wiped them away with shaking hands. He lowered his head and whispered: "Dad, I'm scared. I don't want grandma to die. Can you please tell grandma not to die?"
Eight-year-old Damai already understands many things, at least he understands what death is.
Wu Bo hugged Damai in his arms and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be afraid, dad is here, dad will not let grandma get into trouble, and we will be fine, be good."
Damai lay in Wu Bo's arms, sobbing sadly.
Wu Bo was also extremely sad.
When the three wheat boys heard the noise, they all ran out.
They didn't know what happened, but when they heard Damai crying, they couldn't help but choked and cried.
Wu Bo held back his sadness, held the four girls in his arms, and comforted them softly.
Xiao Xiya was lying on the bed, twisting her little neck and looking this way.
The eyes blinked and blinked, and they were so confused that they didn't know what they were doing.
Dark night is coming. I don’t know why tonight, but the snow light failed to illuminate the night. It was dark everywhere, which made people feel panicked.
Zhao Lian hasn't come back yet, let alone the four children, and Wu Bo can't sit still.
The incident of being attacked by a lone wolf lingered in my mind like a curse, and my mind was filled with images of Zhao Lian being eaten by a lone wolf until she was completely disfigured.
The four sisters, who were finally coaxed to stop crying, couldn't help but start crying again.
Wu Bo no longer wanted to comfort him, so he called Damai: "Da Mai, you are the elder sister. You can help dad take care of my sister and grandma, and dad will pick up mom, okay?"
Damai sobbed and asked, "Dad, can you bring mom back?"
Wu Bo wiped away Damai's tears: "Yes, dad promises it, but you also have to promise to help dad take good care of the sisters and take good care of grandma."
Damai nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of my sister and grandma. You must bring your mother back."
"Okay," Wu Bo rubbed Damai's head, and then rubbed the three wheat people one by one.
Finally, I went to see Xiya. The little thing had been asleep for an unknown amount of time.
She is still a few days old baby, and it is normal for her to eat and sleep, and to sleep and eat.
Grandma Wu didn't wake up after taking the medicine and still had a fever.
The only good thing is that the situation did not become serious.
Wu Bo told the four sisters to limp into the night through the snow.
Four little girls stood under the eaves, wearing ill-fitting shabby cotton-padded jackets and bare, cold straw sandals on their feet.
Their little hands and feet had already turned red and purple from the cold, but they didn't feel any pain.
He stared longingly at the door, looking lonely and helpless.
Wu Bo walked out of the house and shouted all the way. The only thing that answered him was the silence of the snowy night.
"Child's mother...Zhao Lian...Xiaolian, please answer me, child's mother..."
As they walked farther and farther, Wu Bo's heart sank inch by inch, and his voice became choked with sobs.
