80’s Sweet Marriage: Struggle for a Good Life

After taking the medicine, Sunuo's condition still didn't get better. She was flushed with fever, and her breathing was very irregular.

Gu Chenglan was very worried.Because in the jungle and the rainy season, even people with normal health can hardly not get sick.

Isuno’s current situation may not last for three days.

"What can you do?" Gu Chenglan had to ask the chief who was still playing with the compressed towel.Because sometimes home remedies really work.

The chief glanced at Suno, then turned and said something to his eldest wife.

The eldest wife nodded obediently, pulled a dirty-looking cloth and rubbed her hand covered with food, then got up and went out.

When I came back, the eldest wife was holding the jar in her hand.

There were strips of black stains running down from the jar. At first glance, something was often poured out of it, and then left behind without being wiped clean.

But Gu Chenglan didn't care about this, he only stared at the chief's eldest wife, watching her squat down in front of Suno.

Because the month of pregnancy is very long, the woman's squatting posture is strange, and she looks clumsy and uncomfortable.

She held the jar with one hand and opened the lid with the other, motioning Gu Chenglan to do it herself.

"How to use it?" Gu Chenglan can only hope that the chief who can speak a few English can give him a hint.

"Wipe it on her forehead." The chief simply said.

Gu Chenglan freed a hand and reached into the jar.

The jar was dark, I couldn't see what was inside, and I didn't know where the contents were.

It was almost until the end that he touched a sticky grease.Just by hand, it is a bit like industrial motor oil.

Gu Chenglan dipped it a little and took it out to take a look. It was brown grease with a fishy smell, like it was extracted from some animal.

The eldest wife shook her head vigorously, as if she was telling Gu Chenglan that it was not enough.

This time Gu Chenglan reached in again, dug out a piece of grease, and tentatively wiped it on Suno's forehead.

The eldest wife nodded and put the lid back on.She took the rag and stuffed it to Gu Chenglan, and she went out again holding the jar.

Gu Chenglan wiped his hands with a dirty cloth, and looked down at Suno intently.Although I know that the temperature will not drop so quickly, I am still a little anxious.

"Wait, the fever will go down in one night." The chief said, carefully opening a compressed towel.

Waiting for the towel to expand in the air, the chief said: "But if she keeps burning, there is really no way."

Gu Chenglan didn't say anything anymore, but just hugged Suno in his arms to make her more comfortable.

When the chief's eldest wife came back, the chief shook the soft towel in his hand and generously rewarded her with the towel that had lost its "magic".Then he said a few more words.

The eldest wife was obviously flattered and kissed the towel for a long time, and then kissed the hands and feet of the chief.Then he turned to look at Gu Chenglan and motioned for him to follow her.

Gu Chenglan hugged Sunuo and followed her out, and was led back to the house where they lived before.

But this time obviously no good treatment. After the chief’s wife waited for him to enter with Suno in her arms, she withdrew to close the door tightly, and got stuck.

Gu Chenglan couldn't be trapped by a door, but he was only worried about Suno's situation.

Fortunately, this indigenous medicinal oil was really effective. After more than two hours, Suno's body temperature finally began to drop.
