The house leak happened to rain all night long. Spring is the season when diseases occur. The continuous drizzle came again without any warning. The door began to creak, followed by the continuous coughing in the house. I had to hold it back for a few seconds.

The coughing sound is getting louder and louder, and I want to cough out my heart and lungs.

If the coughing person has no underlying disease and he is the only one with a cold, it means that the person really has a cold. But if there is a continuous coughing sound in the room, then...

"Cough cough cough."

The cough sounds scary and the breathing is like a bellows.

"There seem to be a lot of people catching a cold recently."

It is not uncommon for one person to catch a cold, but when many people start coughing, it becomes serious.

The people who pay the least attention to colds are the elderly and migrant workers. The so-called migrant workers are those who generally have lower income levels. They all seem to face the virus with a tough mentality.

The old man said, "It's just a little cold. What's there to be afraid of? There are herbal medicines. Just take a little and you'll be fine in a few days. The worst thing is to drink more water. Water is omnipotent and people have resistance."

The migrant workers also said the same thing: "There is no such thing as a cold. I just need to rest for a few more days and it will be fine."

The human body's own immune system is very powerful, but it's the people who are suffering. How many people have endured it, panting in bed and growling: "Oh my God, ouch, ouch."

It seems that the pain caused by the disease is only felt at this time, but it is too late. Even if it is cured, it will become a diseased seedling and a medicine jar as time goes by.

"Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family whom I knew passed away yesterday."

"Ah?" Others were still shocked, because they had sat together the night before, eating a few peanuts and drinking some wine to cultivate their sentiments, but in the blink of an eye they were gone.

"Did you hear wrongly?"

If you heard this news wrongly, who dares to say it nonsense? You can only say it if you are sure. This person is still telling people that it is gone. How unlucky.

"You heard that right, you heard that right."

The man confirmed again and again that he had indeed not heard about it. He had heard that Mr. Zhao had passed away earlier this morning.

"Can this cold kill someone?"

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at each other.

But no, this old man Zhao died of a cold. Everyone never paid much attention to this cold, thinking it was just a common cold, but this old man Zhao coughed violently and died suddenly.

Some people still don't take it seriously, thinking that it's just a small cold and it can kill anyone. But they never expected that someone with low resistance actually killed someone.

Mei Sanniang was fascinated by what she heard, and even went forward to ask: "Are the brothers talking about the Zhao family? Is it Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family?"

Everyone else looked at Mei Sanniang, wondering when this woman appeared behind them, startling everyone.

"Mei Sanniang, why are you joining in the excitement? You don't know how to treat illnesses!"

Mei Sanniang was not convinced this time.

"Who said I don't know how to treat diseases? I know a lot of things. Just wait and see. Can you tell me why this cold kills people? Is it the flu or an infectious disease?"

When Mei Sanniang opened her mouth, everyone was shocked.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's an infectious disease. I think it's just a common cold."

"What does a woman know? You are not a doctor, so don't talk nonsense."

In rural areas, women's status is the lowest. Men have always been the masters of the household, with women assisting.

"Mei Sanniang, it seems like you are confident that you can cure your cold?"

Sanniang shook her head, she didn't dare to boast about Haikou.

"It's a question, let's continue the conversation."

She had heard about the illness a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to develop so quickly. She heard the old man coughing there a few days ago, but she didn't expect that the man had stopped coughing in just a few days.

In this rural area, the elderly and children are most susceptible to illness, and once someone in the family is sick, it means that the family is even worse, adding another layer of burden to the family that is not already wealthy.

But no one expected that Mr. Zhao would suddenly leave.

Some elderly people think that God is taking in people. If they think there are too many people, they have to take away some. Only after taking away will new life be born.

People die every day, and new babies are born. This is the law of biology, and nothing can be reversed. But it is often just for a moment. We were still together yesterday, but there are not many people to talk to today. If some ordinary people,

I don't feel good in my heart either.

Some people looked fine yesterday, but are gone today. The same is true for some people, who were full of life and energy yesterday, but have become vegetative today.

As a human being, there are still many things in the world that I have not seen and appreciated. It is somewhat regretful that I left so suddenly.

Mei Sanniang went up the mountain immediately after returning home. She did not do anything else but just to collect more herbs.

The most indispensable thing in the mountains is wild vegetables and herbs. There are many things she needs to do every day.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, but be afraid of nip in the bud. There are some things that no one can predict for sure. If there is such a sign, then you must take precautions first.

Coptis chinensis, plantain, mountain ephedra, and rhubarb, as long as they can be recognized and cured, Mei Sanniang picked some of them all.

I don’t know why I’m getting more and more panicked, I always feel like it’s not enough.

There are three people in their family. Xue'er is in school and is most susceptible to colds. Although ordinary colds are not highly contagious, they can still become infected if they stay for a long time.

The easiest places to spread are schools and crowded places.

Just when she was halfway through picking herbs, someone suddenly called her name.

"Mei Sanniang, what are you doing? Squatting in the grass."

Mei Sanniang looked up and saw that she was not familiar with this aunt, so she responded symbolically: "I didn't do anything, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

The woman opposite looked at Mei Sanniang curiously. Her backpack was full of medicinal herbs.

"What are you doing with so many plantains? Your family can only afford to eat these wild vegetables? I see that your family raises chickens and sheep. Isn't that right? Why are you so low-key and eating these wild vegetables?"

Mei Sanniang usually likes to dig wild vegetables in the mountains, so it is not surprising that there are some wild vegetables in the basket. She stood up and looked at the other party: "Occasionally, I get some to take home to eat. This plantain and some eggs are delicious.

"

Eggs are something that people dream of. These eggs are eaten mixed with wild vegetables. It is really luxurious. The woman thought that Mei Sanniang was showing off to her, so she rolled her eyes and said in a weird way: "What kind of woman would pair eggs with wild vegetables?"

Wild man."

Mei Sanniang smiled and didn't say much. Now she can store these things and dry them in the sun, and use them to make medicine when needed.

Everything is for those who are prepared. As long as others say nothing, it will go in one ear and out the other.

Caring too much will only make you unhappy.

Mei Sanniang continued to dig plantains and got a lot of coptis.

A mute who eats Coptis chinensis cannot express the pain.

Mei Sanniang wiped the sweat from her forehead, pressed the wild vegetables and herbs with her hands, and the basket on her back was quickly filled.

On the way back, she also pressed some traps for catching rabbits. The hit rate of these low-level traps was about 50%. She would place a few more and come back to collect them tomorrow morning.

I don't know how long it took for her to get home. She buried her head and carried a basket of herbs on her back. When she got home, she rinsed the herbs with water and used plugs to dry them.

She also pulled a few times to open the herbs to prevent them from becoming moldy due to too much moisture.

When Mei Xue came back, her daughter looked at Mei Sanniang very curiously, "Mom, what are you doing? What are these things? Why do you need to dry them? Should we eat these tonight?"

Sanniang smiled and shook her head.

"Do you dare to eat it if I cook it for you? These are Chinese herbal medicines. Some can be used to stew soup, and some can be stir-fried. But most of the herbs are not delicious at all, and the boiled water is still bitter.

of."

Mei Xue trembled after hearing this.

"It's bitter, why do we still eat it? What did mother do with it in the sun?"

Xueer didn't understand the function of these medicines at all, nor did she know the benefits of drying them.

"Silly boy, my mother dried these Chinese herbal medicines. After drying, it is easy to store. We can use them to cook when we need them."

What Mei Sanniang said was a little more genuine, but Mei Xue didn't understand the meaning.

"Didn't my mother pick a lot of wild vegetables before?"

"Are those wild vegetables or herbs?"

Xueer can't tell the difference.

"Your father left us a lot of books when he left. You can read them when Xue'er can read. Then you will know which ones are Chinese medicinal materials and which ones are wild vegetables."

Speaking of this, Mei Xue was particularly positive and said: "Mom, I met a lot of men today, and the teacher also gave me homework."

"This assignment is to dictate new Chinese words. You must sign after dictation."

Mei Sanniang looked at Xue'er and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she also asked her parents to give her dictation, but every time she wrote very poorly. Once when she did a math problem, she couldn't do it many times, and her father taught her for a day.

Didn't learn.

At that time, I just felt that it was a very simple math problem, but her father used a method that she didn’t understand, and it was different from what the teacher taught, and she couldn’t do it at all.

At that time, she was scolded very badly because she didn't know how to do it. Her father kept scolding her for being stupid. She was so stupid that she seemed to be so stupid that she couldn't do anything.

Mei Sanniang felt very frustrated. For a period of time, she hated studying.

"Okay! Xueer, give me the new words."

Xueer obediently handed the vocabulary book to Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang looked at it and saw that all of them were simple and couldn't be simpler and some new words.

In order to save paper, Mei Xue picked up a stone on the ground and smiled: "Mother, you can start."

Mei Sanniang looked at it and didn't know which one to read. Mei Xue thought her mother didn't know how to read it, so she asked: "Mom, how about I teach you a few times, so you can learn with me."

Mei Sanniang was stunned and nodded.

"Okay, Xue'er will teach my mother, and from now on, my mother and Xue'er will learn together."
