Chapter 201: A bowl of medicine for you
Tsui Er turned to lift the curtain and go out, but I called out to her.
"Where is Dr. Chu now?" I walked over and asked in a low voice as I walked over to Cui'er.
"Girl," Cui'er laughed, "You're so busy in the infirmary that you don't even look up, and the meal delivered at noon today was made by Childe himself." โ
Cui'er couldn't change her title, and still insisted on calling Yunchu Gongzi.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui'er with an embarrassed expression, and tasted the meal I ate in a hurry at noon, as if the taste was a little special, but when I was so busy at the time, I didn't have time to taste it carefully.
Hiding my cough, I complained, "He's idle and has changed to a cook." "You really wronged the son when you say that, you didn't move a bite of the food delivered by the kitchen in the morning, so when he was patrolling the camp in the morning, he hurried back to cook after picking up a few patients, and he didn't bring it to you on purpose."
Cui'er argued for him.
I couldn't object, so I could only shake my hand and say, "Then you go quickly, but don't tell him about this news, otherwise"
Cui'er reacted quickly and said, "The slave knows, but there is a request, let the slave and maid go together." โ
"Cui'er, aren't you worried about the epidemic?" I looked her in the eye.
"Worried, why don't you worry, but if you want to go, you have to have someone around to take care of you."
"Besides, you need a helper, don't you?"
"It depends on what you mean, you don't want to inform the son, and the slave and maid have to follow without hesitation."
"Otherwise, if something happens to you, don't say that the son can't spare the slave and maid, even if the Snow City Lord" Cui'er paused in her tone, "Even if the Snow City Lord comes back, the slave and maid are afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat." โ
"Since the girl has taken the slave and maid out of the courtyard, then wherever you go, the slave and maid will follow."
Said a bunch of excuses. She was the most insistent in the last sentence, and I sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say more, you go and prepare." โ
Cui'er hurriedly opened the curtain and went out.
I washed the blood from my hands in the basin, and looked at the discolored water in the copper basin.
I asked Cui'er to hide the news, but Yun Chu's side, it was not easy to stop him. And it's still possible. He'll get the news through different channels.
What to do? What to do?
I thought quickly, I had to come up with a good idea.
Cui'er just said that the noon meal was cooked by Yun Chu himself, cooked! My eyes lit up. Came up with an idea in an instant.
Rummaging in the medicine cabinet, I have gathered three kinds of medicinal materials, but there is still a lack of taste, strange, this medicine cabinet is a dumb guy who cleans up and takes care of it every day.
He couldn't speak, but he was sharp.
The medicinal materials sent by the City Lord's Mansion, all those that passed through his hands, were all properly taken care of, why couldn't I find the medicine I was looking for all of a sudden?
I opened each drawer one by one to look for it. Could it be that it is mixed with other medicinal herbs?
Time is of the essence. I couldn't afford to delay, and my back was sweating from rummaging.
"What are you looking for?" A gentle voice came from behind him.
Without thinking, I said, "Stone calamus! โ
Suddenly I reacted, it was Yun Chu who spoke, I followed the prestige, and the few medicinal herbs that I was holding in my other hand suddenly loosened my hand.
In a panic, he squatted down to pick it up. Yun Chu came over and smiled: "Why are you scared by me?" โ
He casually stroked my sweaty palm and said, "Are you in a hurry?" Is it urgent for the patient? "No," I said in a panic, trying to hold my hand as steady as possible, "Dr. Chen sent a message earlier, saying that he needed to heal the wounded soldiers on the cart from the inner city. โ
"He just prescribed a painkiller, but he was missing calamus, so he sent someone to tell me."
"So I have to find it out and send it to people as much as possible."
"Oh," Yun Chu agreed, his deep eyes swept over me, he stood up, looked at the rows of medicine cabinets on both sides, walked over slowly, opened one of the squares, and found the medicinal materials I wanted.
I reached out to take it, but his elbow shrank back, I took it, looked up at him puzzled, and said, "Give it to me!" โ
"Xiao Ling'er, you said that Dr. Chen wanted to use this medicine, but I just sent him to the carriage in the inner city, do you know that the city lord sent a message that the inner city needs to send a doctor directly to the rescue place."
Yun Chu looked at me meaningfully, his eyes flickering.
"Ah," I looked away from him and lowered my head, "I heard it wrong, maybe Dr. Liu asked for it, I'll take it and ask them." โ
"Maybe, maybe Cui'er has misspoken." I tried my best to ease my nervousness, barely showed a smile, and said to Yun Chu.
After saying this, I grabbed the medicinal herbs in his hand plus the several that I had prepared earlier, put them in my arms, and walked out quickly
I was alone in the kitchen and it was quiet all around.
By the stove, I threw a few pieces of wood into the hearth, and Cui'er's footsteps sounded, and she walked over the threshold.
I patted the dust on my hands, glanced at her, and said, "Have you made arrangements for me with the people in charge?" โ
Cui'er nodded and said, "It's arranged, but the steward said that he would send a few more people to follow the girl." โ
I looked up and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why bother. โ
"Girl," Cui'er said hesitantly, "you don't know the situation, the people who escaped over there are very excited, and I'm afraid they want to make trouble." โ
"When the steward heard about it at first, he refused to prepare the car according to the slave's wishes, and they were worried that the Syracuse Lord would punish them if he found out."
Cui'er described in detail the conversation with the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. "To put it mildly, the slave and maid have repeatedly told them that they will accompany you, and you will not be alone, just go and see, if the situation is not right, the slave and maid will quickly escort you back." "It took a long time to convince the stewards, and now they have proposed to add a few more people to accompany them, and you will agree." "Let me think about it," I said with a slight hean moan, shaking my head, "not very good." โ
Cui'er looked at me with earnest eyes: "If you don't even agree to this, the slaves and maids are afraid that the stewards will regret it again." "Actually, the stewards of the City Lord's Mansion are very good, such a request as a slave maid. Even if they push over a shield where the city lord is not there, the slaves and maids have nothing to say. "They can agree, and they also envision the safety of the girl, so you agree."
My mind was at war, and I couldn't make a decision for a while.
Seeing the fire burning in the hearth, and hearing the sound of a spark or two from time to time, I finally decided:
"Cui'er. That being the case. Then I agreed, but there was a limit to the number of people, at most, with a maximum of two guards. โ
I weighed the numbers. After a moment of silence, he said, "And there is an additional request, you go and tell the steward that the guards must not wear the original clothes, but must be dressed as civilians, just like our mute little guys, so as not to arouse the suspicion of that group of people." โ
"Girl, is this still particular?"
Cui'er asked as she looked at me in confusion.
"It's big."
I frowned, focused on the casserole placed above the fire, and lowered my head to add a few more pieces of wood to the hearth. "How can you just let the guards follow. and they have seen it. โ
"Cui'er, you heard the news that came from you, and now the two sides are in a stalemate."
I could see the people facing each other on both sides of the road.
On one side, the wolf bรจi is unbearable, hungry and cold, but the ** of survival is extremely strong. This ** supports them to rush through the level.
On the other side, they are well-trained and have military orders, so they naturally go all out to intercept the refugees.
"The Syracuse Lord's guards blocked the way of those victims, and we know that it is out of concern for the safety of the camp here, and they have no ill will towards them."
"But, Cui'er, you and I know this, the people here can understand, but what about them?"
"Think about the circumstances under which they escaped, and think about the situation these days."
"The town over there was in a state of disconnection, and the guards didn't open the road until today."
"When you hear the news, you must have heard about the number of people who escaped."
"How many refugees can be intercepted by a small team in the lead?"
"You put yourself in their shoes, at this time, when they see the guards going directly to me, or are they dressed like the guards who intercepted them, do you think they will rest assured that I will be treated with medicine?"
"So change your outfit and protect ourselves."
At night, the medical hall that had been busy all day began to clean up, Yun Chu leaned on the couch, and was flipping through a pharmacopoeia in his hand.
I took the porridge and walked in after some hesitation.
Yun Chu put down the pharmacopoeia in his hand, got up and walked over to take the tray in my hand, and casually rested it on the table next to him. "Little Ling'er," he looked down and stroked my messy hair, his fingers brushing my cheeks and resting on my forehead.
A warm smile bloomed on his face, and he looked at me and said gently, "Why is your face dirty?" โ
I reached out and wiped my forehead, stained a finger of ash, and looked at him and said, "No, I became Cinderella for porridge." โ
Looking at each other and smiling, I looked at the porridge bowl on the tray and wondered what reason I could find for him to drink!
I held his arm and said with a flattering smile: "The porridge that took a lot of effort to boil, and also put a few nourishing herbs, you have been working hard these days, drink a bowl while it's hot." โ
Yun Chu took the porridge bowl I handed over, took a sip and frowned, "The taste is very strong." "That's right, if you put the herbs, it must have a taste." I saw that he drank a small half bowl, so I picked up the teapot in the tray and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him, handed it over, and said, "Press it." โ
In the dead of night, a carriage quietly drove out of the side gate of the City Lord's Mansion and galloped towards its destination.
Cui'er asked me in the car, "Childe drank it and fell asleep?" โ
Her tone sounded uncertain.
"Well, it's not easy for him to deceive him, so I deliberately put the medicinal herbs in the porridge and tea."
I looked out the window at the wilderness and said, "It takes a mix of the two to work." "It's okay, he's drunk."
