"McDull~ McDull~"
Gu Xinzhou, in the throes of a high fever, muttered deliriously.
In fact, she seldom spoke nonsense, but these past two days, under the care of Aunt Xiaoliang and Aunt Xiaogao, her temperature had gradually subsided, and she seemed more lucid.
Xiaogao came over and helped Gu Xinzhou sit up.
Xiaoliang carried a bowl and carefully fed Gu Xinzhou sheep milk, spoonful by spoonful.
The food on the island was extremely scarce, especially freshwater.
Gu Xinzhou had been feverish for three days, and she also needed to be bathed, so almost all the island's fresh water had been allocated here in recent days.
Most of the villagers were very generous, and some, worried that Xiaoliang wouldn't have time to cook while caring for the sick, came to help out or simply brought over some food.
Gu Xinzhou drank half a bowl before she started vomiting the milk back up.
Xiaoliang and Xiaogao both laughed, teasing her for being like a child who still spits up.
