Chapter 400
Grandma Pang seemed to be in good spirits, and Qi Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandma Pang's worries did not subside.
Although the other person's fever only subsided, this was only the effect of hormones. In fact, the virus was still wreaking havoc in Grandma Pang's body, and Grandma Pang's immunity was also fighting desperately.
Using hormones to suppress high fever only maintains superficial calm, but the danger is not over.
Zhou Shuwan has been paying close attention to Grandma Pang's health and used hormones for two consecutive days.
On the third day, all of Grandma Pang's physical indicators stabilized, so Zhou Shuwan stopped using hormones, and Grandma Pang did not have a fever again.
Until the next morning, Grandma Pang's temperature remained stable, but she began to cough, have a hoarse throat, and even became unable to speak.
"Cough cough cough..." Grandma Pang coughed with difficulty.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun came over worriedly.
They were also worried, so they all came in wearing masks.
"Grandma Pang, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhong Tiyun asked with concern, reaching out to gently stroke Grandma Pang's back.
Zhou Shuwan quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Grandma Pang: "Grandma, please drink some water."
Grandma Pang took the cup of water and drank it in small sips to moisten her dry throat, but she still couldn't speak and could only gesture with her hands.
"Wanwan, what happened to your grandma? Can this virus also cause people to lose their voice?" Zhou Jianghai asked anxiously. He turned to look at Zhou Shuwan, his eyes full of worry.
Zhou Shuwan smiled at Zhou Jianghai soothingly: "Dad, don't worry. Grandma has a throat inflammation caused by a viral infection. Once the virus subsides, she will be able to speak naturally."
The whole family was pleasantly surprised, as this was a sign that the virus had subsided.
In the past few days, in order to take care of Grandma Pang, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were exhausted and there were faint dark circles under their eyes.
Qi Mingyu said to Zhou Shuwan distressedly: "Wanwan, go and have a rest for a while, I will take care of grandma."
Zhou Shuwan shook his head and said softly, "It's okay, I'm not tired."
She turned to look at Grandma Pang and said softly, "Grandma, you should have a good rest. I'll make you some rock sugar and snow pear soup to moisten your throat."
Before she finished speaking, Zhong Tiyun stood up and said, "I'll go. You've been too tired these past few days. Go and have a rest."
Having said that, he immediately went to the kitchen.
She expertly peeled and diced the pears, placed them in the pot, added rock sugar and an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and began to simmer over low heat. Wisps of hot steam drifted out from the cracks in the lid, carrying a faint sweet aroma.
In the past few days, the whole family has been paying close attention to Grandma Pang's diet, and has been trying different ways to make some light and easy-to-digest food for her.
In this case, strengthening immunity is the most important thing.
However, before they could relax, in the evening, Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu all started to have fevers, and their symptoms were exactly the same as Grandma Pang's.
"Sister, I... I seem to have a fever too..." Mu Mu said weakly with a pale face, and reached out to touch his forehead, which was burning hot.
Zhou Shuwan's heart sank. She quickly took out the thermometer and measured the temperature of Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu respectively.
As expected, all three of them had a high fever of over 39 degrees Celsius, and Mu Mu's temperature was even higher, reaching 39.8 degrees Celsius.
The toxicity of the Puras virus is very strong, and the high fever it causes is basically above 39 degrees.
She did not dare to be careless and immediately injected them with mugwort liquid and fumigated the house. The strong smell of mugwort filled the entire villa.
Qi Mingyu also busied himself in the kitchen, boiling a large pot of mugwort water and placing it all on the table. "Even if you can't drink it, you have to force yourself to drink it," Zhou Shuwan said firmly, distributing bowls of the rich mugwort-scented decoction to everyone.
"This is too bitter!" Mu Mu had a high fever and was weak. He sat limply on the chair, but still picked up the bowl with a look of resistance and sipped it in small sips.
Zhong Tiyun wasn't much better. She suppressed her nausea and drank the whole thing in one breath. Then she let out a long sigh and complained, "This tastes terrible!"
Zhou Jianghai also looked painful as he drank, but he said nothing and silently finished the mugwort soup in the bowl.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also drink several large bowls of mugwort water every day to improve their immunity.
Qi Mingyu picked up the bowl, drank it in one breath without frowning, and then served another bowl to Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Shuwan drank it without changing his expression.
In her previous life, she lay in the greenhouse, listlessly listening to others discussing the preciousness of mugwort.
Some capable people have already obtained mugwort and boiled water for the whole family to drink.
At that time, her whole body was hot and cold, shivering constantly, and she felt as if she was about to be torn apart. She desperately wanted an angel to come down from the sky and give her a bowl of mugwort water to drink...
Thinking back to the past, Zhou Shuwan smiled faintly.
Fortunately, that desperate time finally passed.
In the past few days, she and Qi Mingyu did not go out to take care of Grandma Pang, but they also heard that more and more people were sick in the base and the hospital was overcrowded. There was no effective medicine.
The doctors were helpless and could only treat the patients using conventional methods. The hospital even had very few antipyretic drugs, so they could only encourage patients to use physical methods to reduce their temperature.
Xiao Xiao responded quickly and announced through the base radio several ways to quickly reduce fever using physical methods such as acupuncture points and alcohol. She also announced several medicines that doctors thought might be useful after consultation, and encouraged patients' families not to rely on hospitals anymore, but to look for them themselves.
Zhou Shuwan stayed by his parents' hospital bed, listening to the cooling methods played over and over again on the radio outside, his brows furrowed, his eyes looking out the window.
More and more people in the base are suffering from high fever. How can she secretly deliver the mugwort she collected to the hospital so that more people can benefit from it without exposing herself?
When she first stockpiled mugwort, she had indeed thought about making a fortune while people needed it, but when the time came, she no longer had such an idea.
She was actually not a very greedy person, and the supplies stored in the space were enough for her family to use.
What she wanted was not available at the base.
Therefore, she wanted to give this batch of mugwort free of charge so that seriously ill people could use it.
Qi Mingyu brought in the freshly boiled mugwort water and said after a moment's hesitation, "I'll find a way."
As night fell, the base was shrouded in silence.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu put on their air-conditioned clothes and left the villa quietly.
Qi Mingyu knew the surveillance layout of the base very well. He took Zhou Shuwan through the buildings with ease, cleverly avoiding all surveillance cameras.
"Surveillance blind spots are usually at the back or corners of buildings, and the frequency of surveillance maintenance and updates is not high." Qi Mingyu explained to Zhou Shuwan in a low voice as they walked.
