Chapter 158: I am Gu Yue’s Friend
Song Chu took out some preserved plums from her bag in the car and gave them to Song Ping.
“Sister Ping, you rest and sleep in the car for a while, I’ll go out for a bit.”
“If anyone asks, just say I went to find the restroom.”
Song Ping took the preserved plums and nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
She knew that Song Chu didn’t get carsick, so she must have something to do now.
By this time, the villagers had long since stopped gathering around. Song Chu changed out of her skirt and into a shirt and black pants from her bag, put on a hat and a mask, and re-entered the village.
She also took out the medicine and needles that had been placed in the space earlier and stuffed them into the bag she was carrying.
She used her psychic power to avoid encountering people and quickly ran to the farm.
At this time, the several people who had been working not far away were gone, and the child was still guarding the person with the fever.
She walked over quickly, and the child looked at her defensively.
Song Chu took off her mask, “I’m a doctor, I’m here to help him. If his fever continues, he’ll die from it.”
“I have no reason to harm him, otherwise I would just let him die from the fever.” Seeing that the child was still very defensive, she added.
The child pursed his lips, “Why do you want to save my dad?”
“Because I know your Little Uncle.” Song Chu said truthfully.
The child was startled, “You really know my Little Uncle? Then what’s his name?”
“His name is Gu Yue, it’s your Little Uncle who asked me to come and save your dad. He’ll come over later tonight too.” Song Chu found that this nephew of Gu, the Academic God, was particularly smart. He was so young yet so vigilant and quite precocious.
The child obviously knew that his Little Uncle’s name was Gu Yue and believed her words. He then stood up and made way for her, “Big Sister, please help me save my dad, I will definitely repay you.”
“Don’t worry, I will save your dad.” Song Chu reached out and felt Gu Yue’s Older Brother’s pulse.
She had been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine with Teacher Lu for a while and could already diagnose simple illnesses.
Fortunately, Gu Yue’s Older Brother only had a fever now and hadn’t developed lung inflammation yet.
It’s just that his temperature was getting higher and higher, causing him to fall into a coma.
Song Chu first took out a pill, “Pour a glass of water and give him this antipyretic first.”
This was an antipyretic pill that Teacher Lu had made with her when they went to the mountains to collect herbs. Its effect was much better than the antipyretics currently sold on the market.
The child nodded, immediately poured a glass of water, and helped feed the medicine to his father.
“I also need to give him an injection for fever and inflammation.” Song Chu said.
These needles were all bought by Gu Yue through his connections. Originally, he wanted to keep them for his father and older brother in case they got seriously ill, so they could take them to the village clinic and ask the village doctor to give them a shot.
After all, many remote villages now lack medical resources and don’t have these.
Just like the village doctor today, who used oxytetracycline to treat fever.
Song Chu studied biopharmaceuticals, and in order to better understand the pathology of patients, she had studied Western medicine and clinical practice for a period of time. She knew how to prepare injections and could also give shots and infusions.
The child thought for a moment and said, “Can we wait for my grandpa to come back before giving the injection?”
Although he was young, he knew what injections were. He had heard of people dying from injections before.
Song Chu found that although the child believed her, he was still on guard and was protecting his father in his own way, which was actually very good.
“Okay.” She asked, “Where’s your grandpa?”
“My grandpa and another grandpa went to look for medicine.” The child replied.
Song Chu guessed that Gu Yue’s Father should have gone with someone who knew medicine to look for antipyretics. “Then let’s wait for them.”

“By the way, were the people working over there living with you too? How’s your relationship with them?” she asked again.
The child replied, “They also live with us, and we have a pretty good relationship. Today, they helped my dad and grandpa with the work.”
“That’s good.” Song Chu smiled at him, “What’s your name?”
The little guy looked at her, “Didn’t my Little Uncle tell you my name?”
“No, there were too many people just now, we couldn’t talk at all. Before coming, he only told me about your dad and your grandpa, not about you.”
Song Chu looked at him and continued, “When your grandpa and dad were sent down, you probably weren’t here, right?”
The child bit his lip, “Yes, I was sent here by my mom last year.”
Song Chu frowned slightly, “Why did your mom send you here?”
“Because she thought I was a burden. She wanted to remarry, and the person she wanted to marry suggested that she could send me to my dad, so she agreed.” The child lowered his head, his mood a little down.
Song Chu also guessed that he had been abandoned by his own mother. Otherwise, how could she send such a young child to a farm for reform to suffer? This heart was too cruel.
“It’s okay, you still have your grandpa and dad.”
Song Chu reached out and touched his head, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Gu Jin, my grandpa gave it to me.” Gu Jin said with some pride.
Song Chu could tell that the little guy really liked his grandpa and dad, “It’s a nice name.”
While they were talking, two men walked quickly into the farm. They were startled to see someone wearing a hat talking to Gu Jin and hurried over.
Gu Jin also saw them, “Grandpa, Grandpa Xue, you’re back.”
Gu Yucheng looked at Song Chu defensively, “You are?”
Before Song Chu could answer, Gu Jin said, “She’s Little Uncle’s friend, she just gave dad an antipyretic pill.”
“What? You’re Gu Yue’s friend?” Gu Yucheng was obviously very surprised and didn’t quite believe it.
Song Chu generously allowed him to size her up, “Yes, I’m Gu Yue’s friend. Actually, he’s here too, but he’s at the brigade leader’s house right now and can’t come over. He’ll be able to come later.”
“I mainly came to deliver medicine to his older brother first, otherwise his fever will get very serious.”
“You said Xiao Yue is here too?” Gu Yucheng was even more shocked now.
“Yes, he’s an educated youth in our village. Grandpa Gu is also sent down to our village. He’s been inquiring about your whereabouts, but to no avail.”
Song Chu continued, “Recently, his cousin Huo Kai accidentally found out about your location. He was worried about you, so he came over. We came under the guise of an inspection team.”
“I pretended to have a headache and wanted to rest in the car, so I came over first. They’re still at the brigade leader’s house and can’t get away for now.”
Gu Yucheng, a tough man, had his eyes redden when he heard this. His youngest son had actually come to find them.
He also believed Song Chu now. After all, if she were a spy deliberately approaching them, she might know about his family’s situation, but she wouldn’t say that Gu Yue had also come, otherwise she would be exposed later.
“Little Comrade, may I ask what kind of antipyretic did you give Gu Yan?” Xue Yue, who was beside Gu Yucheng, asked.
Song Chu took out a small wooden box and handed it to him, “This is an antipyretic pill made by a very skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor. I just gave him one.”
“This Big Sister also said she would give my dad a shot.” Gu Jin added.
