Chapter 502 House Collapse
Wang Meihua brought Yunbei into the room.
When Yunbei saw Haiwa lying on the bed with a red face, he couldn't help but say, "Meihua, Haiwa is like this, why didn't you come to find me earlier?"
"I didn't know about it before, and I didn't find out until I got up in the middle of the night to see if he kicked off the quilt. As soon as I found out, I came to find you."
Yunbei listened to Wang Meihua's words and didn't say much. Her husband was on duty in the army today, so Wang Meihua and the child were the only ones at home.
Putting down the medicine box, Yunbei felt Haiwa's pulse, then took out a silver needle to reduce his fever.
It was obvious that Haiwa had been caught in the rain in the afternoon and caught a cold, which resulted in a fever.
After the acupuncture, Haiwa's fever subsided a little. Yunbei took out some pills she had made to treat colds and asked Wang Meihua to feed them to him.
The pills made by Yunbei are added with honey and taste a bit sweet, just like candy beans.
Wang Meihua was a little worried because her son usually didn't like to take medicine. But she didn't expect that her son swallowed the medicine without even drinking water.
This made her very happy. She smiled and said to Yunbei, "Sister-in-law, it's really strange that Haiwa actually took the medicine. He usually doesn't like taking medicine. Every time he is asked to take medicine, it seems like it will cost him his life. It takes a lot of effort."
"I made this medicine myself, specially for children."
After taking the medicine, Haiwa felt better. He looked at Yunbei and called softly, "Auntie!"
"Hai Wa, do you feel anything?" Yun Bei responded while reaching out to touch his head. The fever had subsided. As long as he didn't catch a cold again, his illness would soon be cured.
"Better now." Haiwa nodded with a smile, thinking of the sweet candy beans he had just eaten, and asked, "Aunt, do you still have the candy you just ate? I want to eat more."
Seeing Haiwa mistook the medicine for candy, Yunbei laughed and said, "That's medicine, not candy. You can't take too much medicine. You can only take it three times a day, one pill at a time. I'll give it to your mother later and ask her to give it to you on time."
"It's not medicine. Medicine is bitter. It's sugar. Sugar is sweet."
Hearing this, Yunbei laughed again and said, "The medicine made by my aunt is sweet. Well, you just took the medicine, sleep well. When you wake up, your illness will be cured."
"All right!"
After Haiwa fell asleep, Wang Meihua sent Yunbei out and said again embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you. This is the consultation fee, please keep it."
Wang Meihua stuffed two dollars into Yunbei's hand.
"Meihua, why are you so formal? Take the money back quickly." Yunbei refused. In her opinion, she and Wang Meihua were friends, and she was just treating a child, so why should she charge money?
"Sister-in-law, please take it. I'm embarrassed to bother you so late at night."
"What's the big deal? We are friends. If you don't ask your friends for help, who else can you ask? Besides, I'm a doctor. If your child is sick, who else can you ask for help?"
"Okay, Meihua, if you do this again, I'll be angry." Yunbei pretended to be angry, and Wang Meihua had to take the money.
"Sister-in-law, then go back slowly."
"Okay, I understand. Go back to the house and take good care of Haiwa."
When Yunbei was walking home with an umbrella, she happened to meet Si Nanzhao who was coming back from a meeting. Seeing Yunbei, Si Nanzhao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Wife, why are you out so late?"
"Don't mention it. Haiwa is sick. I went to see him."
When Si Nanzhao heard that Haiwa was sick, he became worried and asked, "How is it? Is Haiwa okay?"
"It's nothing serious. I probably caught a cold and had a fever because I got caught in the rain this afternoon."
"It's okay."
The couple walked home while talking.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Yunbei took out the key from his pocket and opened the gate.
When she left before, she was worried about Fu Guang being alone at home, and also to let Si Nanzhao know that she was not at home, so she locked the door.
When they got home, it was almost midnight. Yunbei was not sleepy either, so he took Sinanzhao into the space and asked him about the meeting.
"Just now the division commander said that this rain is quite heavy and may cause serious disasters, so we should be prepared for disaster relief."
"Since the commander has said so, I have to prepare as well. Such heavy rain can easily cause some diseases. I have to prepare some medicine just in case."
As she spoke, Yunbei began to count her own storeroom to see if the herbs she had prepared were enough. If not, she would go to the herb garden to pick some for backup.
Si Nanzhao also went to help and helped count the items.
Yunbei wrote down the missing herbs and planned to go to the herb garden to pick them soon.
While the couple were busy in the space, the village near the army had begun to flood.
Some people who lived close to the river not only had their houses washed away, but their pigs, chickens, and ducks were also washed away.
Farmland and vegetable fields were also soaked by the flood. The crops that were supposed to be harvested in a few days were soaked in water and dumped on the ground, and they were prone to sprouting and rotting.
Looking at the farmland soaked by water, the villagers were anxious.
But there was nothing they could do. It rained so heavily and it kept raining. The water in the river kept rising. Even if they wanted to drain the water, they couldn't.
Apart from worrying and sighing at home, they really have no other options.
Even if they cut it now, there is no place to dry it, and it will eventually get moldy.
Time passed little by little, and after everything was washed away, some houses began to collapse.
It was late at night and everyone was sleeping. When the house collapsed, all the sleepers were buried and could not even make a sound to call for help.
Of course, some people were lucky enough not to be buried by the collapsed houses, but they were still injured, some injured their legs, some injured their hands, and some injured their heads.
The pain woke them up from their sleep, and they began to cry out for help.
"Help, help!"
The sound of rain and shouting reached the ears of other villagers. Someone woke up, put on a straw raincoat, left the house, and headed towards the direction of the cry for help.
When they arrived at the place and saw the collapsed house and the half-buried person, they immediately went forward to rescue him without saying a word.
However, one person's power is limited after all, and it is not easy to rescue people. After digging for a long time and failing to rescue people, they had to seek help.
Fortunately, the team leader and other team leaders arrived at the scene very quickly. Looking at the collapsed houses, they were heartbroken and immediately organized villagers to rescue people.
The rain was still falling, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of rescuing people.
But even so, people still have to be rescued. Otherwise, the longer the time is delayed, the slimmer the hope of the buried people being alive.
