Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 355: Someone in the Cave

Then, the two began to carefully identify the specific direction from which the sound came.

"Cough cough cough..."

An Yue and Chunzhi quickly determined that the sound came from halfway up the mountain.

Chunzhi shrank her neck timidly and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, why don't we... go home quickly! If it's a bad guy or a beast, it will be troublesome."

An Yue felt a little hesitant. What if a villager was injured while cutting firewood in the mountains and needed help?

"Don't be afraid, Chunzhi. Let's go check it out first! What if the woodcutter is injured?"

"But, Miss..." Chunzhi hadn't finished her words when she saw that An Yue was no longer around.

An Yue went to a nearby place, picked up a stone and held it in her hand, then she found a wooden stick and handed it to Chunzhi.

Hearing someone cough, An Yue took out two masks from her pocket for safety reasons, handed them to Chunzhi and said, "Let's all put on these masks."

The two put on their masks and covered their mouths and noses tightly.

Chunzhi held the wooden stick tightly in both hands and followed An Yue reluctantly.

An Yue and Chun Zhi carefully climbed up the mountainside along the trampled weeds, taking every step with extreme caution.

The dry grass around swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound, which made Chunzhi's nervous heart even more tense.

Chunzhi said in a trembling voice: "Miss, let's...let's go home!"

An Yue whispered to comfort him: "Shh... When did Chunzhi become so timid?"

"Miss, Haruji is worried about you..."

An Yue smiled and comforted him, "I'm fine, trust me, we just need to be careful."

After a while, the two of them tiptoed to the halfway point of the mountain.

An Yue glanced around and saw a piece of wasteland halfway up the mountain.

There were several bamboo poles on the wasteland, tied together in the shape of a "fire" (Chinese character for fire), with a few pieces of clothing hanging on the poles to dry.

Looking closely, there was a cave not far away, and the sound came from that cave.

Seeing the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles, An Yue was sure that there were people living in the cave.

They approached the cave cautiously, holding sticks and stones tightly in their hands for self-defense.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, An Yue stuck her head out to take a look at the situation inside the cave.

There were three people in total, two of them, one big and one small, lying on a haystack.

There was a baby lying next to a young woman, and a man next to her was wiping the faces of the woman and the child with a coarse cloth.

An Yue and Chun Zhi leaned against the entrance of the cave and watched.

Chunzhi leaned close to An Yue's ear and whispered, "Miss, they look like a family of three?"

An Yue didn't say anything, just nodded.

Suddenly, Chunzhi accidentally stepped on a dry branch on the ground, making a noise.

The man heard a sound at the cave entrance. He quickly picked up the hoe leaning against the wall and asked cautiously, "Who's outside?"

An Yue and Chun Zhi saw that there was nowhere to hide. An Yue took the initiative to stand at the entrance of the cave, raised her hands and explained: "Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions."

The man saw that they were two half-grown girls, raised his hoe and slowly put it down, and asked, "Little girls, how did you find your way here?"

An Yue said softly, "We passed by here and heard some noise, so we came up here step by step. We wanted to come and see if someone was injured while cutting firewood in the mountains and needed help."

The man's tense expression relaxed a little, but he still didn't let his guard down.

An Yue turned around and looked carefully at the situation inside the cave, and found that there was only a tattered patched quilt in the cave, and there was an iron pot and a backpack against the wall.

An Yue couldn't help but ask: "Why are you here?"

The man pointed at the cave, sighed and said, "My family has suffered from disasters one after another, and I have fled all the way here. I really have nowhere to go, so I can only live in this cave temporarily."

An Yue asked cautiously, "May I ask if the two people lying inside are your wife and daughter?"

The man nodded and replied, "Yes."

"The child and her mother both fell ill on the road. Now the pharmacies and doctors are too busy to handle the situation. We don't have any money, so we really don't know what to do." The man's eyes began to turn red as he spoke.

Watching your loved ones fall ill and being unable to do anything about it is the most helpless and hopeless situation.

An Yue looked at the mother and daughter lying in the cave and they both looked very ill.

So she asked the man softly, "Can I go in and see their condition?"

The man looked at the person lying inside, then looked at An Yue and Chun Zhi, and asked hesitantly: "Young lady, do you know any medical skills?"

An Yue said modestly: "I only know a little bit about medicine."

After hearing what An Yue said, the man's eyes brightened a little.

He made a 'please' gesture and said, "In that case, I hope the young lady can help me."

An Yue walked into the cave carefully and came to the haystack with Chunzhi.

She squatted down and began to carefully examine the condition of the woman and child.

She turned to the man and asked, "When did you notice they were sick?"

The man raised his head slightly, blinked his eyes and recalled carefully, "Counting all the time, it has been ten days."

An Yue reached out and touched their foreheads with her fingertips. It was obvious that they had fever, and the child next to them also had a very high temperature.

An Yue said to the two people lying down: "Don't be afraid, let me check your eyes first."

After saying that, An Yue reached out and gently opened their eyelids, and found that the whites of their eyes were a little yellow.

Then he said, "Please stick out your tongue for me to see."

The lying woman looked at the man beside her with a painful expression. The man nodded at her, and the woman stuck out her tongue.

An Yue squinted her eyes and took a closer look. She saw that the tongue coating was very thick and yellow.

An Yue remembered that in the 21st century, she had fallen ill several times and had to see a Chinese doctor. The Chinese doctor said that persistent high fever, yellowing of the whites of the eyes, and yellow tongue coating were symptoms of a fever.

Looking at the mother and daughter lying there, the symptoms of fever are obvious at the moment.

But after all, I am not a doctor, so I dare not practice medicine randomly.

The man standing nearby asked, "Girl, is there any way to save them?"

An Yue stood up and motioned for the man to go outside the cave to talk in detail.

When they arrived outside the cave, An Yue said, "Uncle, judging from their current symptoms, they should be suffering from a fever."

The man was also confused after hearing this, but when he heard that it was a fever, he became even more anxious.

He asked, "Miss, what about fever? Do you have any way to treat it?"

An Yue frowned and said, "I'm not sure if I can cure them. Their current conditions are quite complicated. Compared to normal fever, their conditions may be slightly more serious. After all, they have been ill for dozens of days."

The man knelt down helplessly and begged: "Girl, now I have no other choice but to beg you, you must save them."

An Yue hurried to help the man up: "No, no, no, if you have something to say, please get up quickly."
