Chapter 115: Accountability (Addition)
Chapter 115 Reproach moved
On this day, Qiu Chen didn't go anywhere.
After she asked for the fat chicken to stew in the soup, on the other side, Chengzi had already boiled the morning medicine. After letting Junshu take the medicine, he continued to rest in bed.
Yang Shumeng came back and bought a set of blue muslin men's clothes. He originally wanted to buy women's clothes, but unfortunately, after Huairong had just experienced the looting of the Rong people, the business was in a depression, and the only ready-to-wear store that opened for business sold very few women's clothes, and it was either thick triangular cloth or bright satin clothing, which did not meet Qiu Chen's requirements. I had no choice but to choose a muslin men's dress. is different from the one worn by Qiu Chen, that is, the size is smaller, and I think Qiu Chen will not be so fat and loose when he wears it.
Qiu Chen was very satisfied with this dress. Told Yang Shu to guard Junshu, Chengzi to guard the soup can on the stove, she asked for hot water, went back to the room to take a bath, changed into the newly bought clothes, washed the changed clothes, and dried them in the yard, it was almost noon.
Qiu Chen called the young man and asked for a meal for his four and nine dart masters.
Soon, the guy sent two dishes, one soup, two steamed buns, a bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of egg custard, Qiu Chen fed Junshu rice porridge and egg custard, as well as chicken soup that had been boiled all morning, clear and bright, sprinkled with a few pieces of green coriander, sweet and delicious, not greasy. There are stir-fried vegetables, and Junshu eats obviously sweeter than in the morning, which makes Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng secretly relieved and happy.
After Junshu finished eating, Qiu Chen went to the front hall, discussed it with Li Zhenbei, and asked the dart masters to wait in Huairong for two days. Qiu Chen had to take care of Junshu's condition before he could inquire about Lin Xu's whereabouts. As long as Lin Xu's whereabouts were determined, he really went to the military camp in the grassland. Then it will not be a matter of a day or two to find Lin Xu, and Li Zhenbei and the others will naturally go back first. If Lin Xu didn't go to the grassland, but for other reasons, then it is very likely that he would be able to find Lin Xu relatively quickly and take Lin Xu back. When the time comes, it will still be convenient for Li Zhenbei and others to escort them home.
The dart masters also want to take over the business and dart when they go back, just wait here for two more days, and the Lin lady will be promised to eat and drink, and the salary will be calculated, so the dart masters naturally have no objections.
After the discussion, Qiu Chen hurriedly ate lunch and turned back.
Qiu Chen took Yang Shumeng and Chengzi to rest, while she herself guarded the stove at the door and Junshu on the other.
After all, the body is still very weak, and Qiu Chen added two more flavors to the medicine he took to relieve the pain and sedation, and Junshu fell asleep again after eating.
Qiu Chen went over to check every half an hour and touched Junshu's forehead......
This is the most critical day!
Not to mention that at this time, this condition, even the surgery done in the modern sterile room, will generally have postoperative heat absorption. With a variety of modern medicines to cooperate with treatment, a small postoperative fever is not a big problem, but here, Qiu Chen is afraid that postoperative fever will cause high fever again, and the increase in body temperature can also increase the difficulty of wound healing, and it is more likely to cause infection. Therefore, Qiu Chen had to be cautious and cautious. She even had antipyretics and a large dose of heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs, which are equivalent to the antibiotics of Western medicine, ready just in case.
From noon to the westward setting of the sun, and then to dusk, Yang Shumeng and Chengzi woke up after making up for a night's sleep, and Junshu's condition has been very stable. There was no high fever, a slight low-grade fever, and after Qiu Chen was fed another medicine, it was also maintained and did not rise......
She finally let out a long breath.
The most dangerous hurdle after Junshu's surgery is over. Next, observe for two more days, as long as there is no infection in the wound when changing the dressing, Junshu can basically rule out the danger to his life. Of course, the premise is proper healing and medical treatment.
In the evening, Qiu Chen set up a kang table on the kang, washed Junshu's hands and face, and let him eat by himself, and at the same time, she, Yang Shumeng, and Chengzi also accompanied Junshu to eat together. Junshu didn't cook the sick meal alone, Qiu Chen approved him to eat the same meal, steamed rice porridge and stir-fried vegetables. The difference is that Junshu also has an extra bowl of clear chicken soup. Here, Qiu Chen added a thin ginseng, longan, and wolfberry to replenish qi and blood, which was very helpful to Junshu's physical recovery.
The family got together, talking and laughing, which made Junshu feel very good, and he laughed throughout the meal. It's also because Junshu injured his left arm, although it's inconvenient, but it's good to use chopsticks to hold a pen, and it basically won't hinder it. Qiu Chen looked at Junshu's smiling face, and secretly decided that tomorrow he would reduce the calming ingredients in the potion, find him something to do, read the book, or write a few words, master the amount of activity, not tired, not bad, not bumped into the wound, appropriate activities, but can make him more relaxed psychologically, avoid emotional anxiety, and will only be good for the recovery of the body.
After eating, Qiu Chen did not immediately give Junshu medicine, but asked him to lie down and talk with Yang Shumeng.
Talk about the new house and new yard built by the family, talk about the wheat, and talk about the arrival of the Liu family...... Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Qiu Chen brought the medicine and gave it to Junshu to eat. asked Chengzi to bring hot water, scrub Junshu's body, and change into dry clothes. She avoided the house.
Last night, when Junshu was in a coma, she just wiped him, and now that Junshu is sober, she will wipe him again, and Junshu will definitely not let him. Although the age is only twelve or thirteen, the twelve or thirteen-year-old groom is not new in this day and age.
Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng stood at the door, explaining the things to pay attention to at night, and the brother and sister went to see Li Zhenbei together, and told Li Zhenbei about Junshu's situation, and Li Zhenbei was also happy for them. Then, they talked about going to inquire about Lin Xu's whereabouts the next day.
"Sister, I'm so busy today that I forgot to tell you. We are here, thanks to Mr. Xu, if Mr. Xu hadn't invited a military doctor that day, I'm afraid that Junshu wouldn't be able to wait for you to come, and he would ......" Speaking of the danger of that day, Yang Shumeng still had red eyes, paused, and swallowed the unlucky half of the sentence, Yang Shumeng said again, "I think, Ming'er, let's go and visit Mr. Xu, and also tell him about Junshu's situation." ”
This is a very reasonable human relationship, and Qiu Chen naturally agreed without saying a word. She was still thinking in her heart, no matter what, Xu Changwen was the county magistrate of Huairong, how could he talk better than them, which could be seen from the matter of hiring a military doctor. can ask him to help ask for news, as long as Lin Xu's whereabouts are determined, they can make corresponding measures.
After listening to the discussion between the brother and sister, Li Zhenbei also spoke: "Regarding this matter, maybe you can try to inquire...... Well, I have a few friends here, so I might be able to ask for some letters. ”
What does Li Zhenbei do? Dart master, dart walker. Their profession is decided, and they have to make friends. As the saying goes, if you go out by your friends, you can't eat well if you run outside every day like them, there is no way on the rivers and lakes, and there is no friend to maintain it.
Xu Changwen is an official channel; Li Zhenbei is the number of rivers and lakes...... Speaking of inquiry, the number of rivers and lakes is generally more flexible than the news from official channels!
Qiu Chen's face was overjoyed, and he thanked him again and again: "It's naturally good that Li Darttou can help inquire." ”
As he spoke, he took out a fifty taels of silver ticket from his pocket and put it in front of Li Zhenbei, and said: "Li Darttou, if you go to a friend to inquire about the news, you will naturally have to spend something. ”
Li Zhenbei glanced at the silver ticket, but he was not polite, and nodded in agreement: "Second Brother Yang and Lin Niangzi can rest assured, they should do their best!" ”
Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng, brother and sister, got up to salute, thanked Li Zhenbei, and said goodbye and went back to their rooms.
Yang Shu went to take care of Junshu with Chengzi; Qiu Chen went back to his room to rest. Tonight, their division of labor is that Yang Shumeng and Chengzi are on duty in the first half of the night, and Qiu Chen is on duty in the second half of the night.
A few days ago, he was in a hurry, Qiu Chen's physical strength was overdrawn, and he didn't get a good rest after coming, so he went back to the room to wash up briefly, and fell asleep after a while on the kang. When he woke up, it was still very dark, Qiu Chen didn't know how to judge the time by looking at the sky, so he got up, washed his face with cold water, straightened his hair, and went straight to Junshu's room.
Junshu slept peacefully in the first half of the night, and it was normal for Qiu Chen to test his body temperature with his hands, so he was relieved. turned to ask Yang Shumeng and Chengzi, only to know that Lu Dao had passed the fourth watch, that is, it was already more than one o'clock in the second half of the night.
Qiu Chen immediately took Yang Shumeng and Chengzi back to the room to sleep, while she herself stayed by Junshu's kang and watched the night.
There are no books that interest him, and there is no TV network to dispel his drowsiness, Qiu Chen pondered for a while, and finally remembered one thing.
She took the blanket and pulled out an arm-thick bamboo tube from inside. The bamboo tube is made of a whole section of bamboo, and one end of it is used to make a lid.
If you don't know, it is estimated that when you see this bamboo joint, you will think more of things like wine, water, and even medicinal powder, but no one will ever think that when you open the lid of this bamboo tube, the first thing you see is sand. That's right, the most inconspicuous sand.
Qiu Chen stared at the sand for a while, found a piece of paper, and poured out the sand, and as the sand flowed out, eight swarthy cast iron pipes were also poured out. These small tails are made of cotton paper that is relatively flexible and strong and difficult to break, and the cotton paper is evenly coated with some brown powder......
Carefully twisting a black iron pipe with two fingers, Qiu Chen held it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a while, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold.
Although Lin Xu has not yet been found, there is no specific explanation and reason why Lin Xu was stranded in the barracks or somewhere, Qiu Chen intuitively thought of the critical experience of Lin Xu and his party in the valley of the Yanyun Mountains, and thought of the small 'firecrackers' that Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng took out to save their lives at that time.
According to the accounts of Liao Hai, Li Zhenbei, Yang Shumeng and others, it is likely that the general Hong Zhanpeng arrived at the scene soon after the caravan escaped, and the fragmented corpses at the scene and the craters caused by the explosion were ...... For a professional soldier, he must be very sensitive to detect the anomaly.
For a professional soldier, there is probably nothing more exciting and important than a new type of weapon with unprecedented lethality.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Lin Xu was stranded.
If so, let that General Hong, or let that General Zhenbei know that the little firecrackers in Yanyun Valley are just pediatrics, and she can come up with things that are several times or dozens of times more powerful than the 'little firecrackers'...... She was curious to know what expressions would appear on their faces.
Of course, these things are double-edged swords. If you don't get it right, you will be eliminated by the conservative rulers as dangerous elements.
This is not that Qiu Chen is worried and overly worried, this kind of thing abounds in history; The most distressing thing is the exile case of Dai Zi during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, which was originally able to create a continuous fire system in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Dai Zi even developed a fire system with 24 consecutive fires...... What is the concept of 24 consecutive shots?
In the era before Qiu Chen's time, semi-automatic rifles were only 5-7 rounds; Assault rifles are generally only 30 rounds......
If there were 24 rounds of fire, how could the Chinese army be annihilated in the face of the single-shot rifles of the great powers? suffered humiliation and bullying again and again by the British and French coalition forces, the Eight-Nation Alliance and other powers......
is the kind of Dai Zi who developed the twenty-four joint fire system, but was exiled to Ningguta by Kangxi on trumped-up charges and enslaved with the armorers...... And after the worst, he died in the cold land of the far north. The fire system of the twenty-four Lianfa was also annihilated in the long river of history with Dai Zi's death.
Therefore, when Qiu Chen took out the 'little firecracker', he also experienced a mental entanglement, and finally decided to take it out and give it to Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu as a life talisman - the result also proved that she was right to take it out.
Now, in the face of possible coercion from the military, and even, if he has to face real persecution later, Qiu Chen will not be afraid.
She had already taken this result into account when she took out the 'little firecracker'.
The things in her hands are only used to improve and enhance the lives of her and her family, so that the lives of her family and friends will be better, more stable, and more upheld and relied on...... She doesn't care about giving it away for nothing, but, on the premise, she must be able to ensure the safety and stability of her family's life.
After checking one by one, to make sure that there was no corrosion leakage, Qiu Chen once again put the small iron pipes back into the bamboo tube one by one, and evenly filled the fine sand, after filling all the fine sand into it, the iron pipes in the bamboo tube were isolated from each other and fixed, even if it vibrate, it can ensure that it will not have an accident!
After the inspection, Qiu Chen put the bamboo tube back into the blanket again. Then I went to the basin of water to wash my hands, and then went to check on Junshu's condition......
Junshu's condition is stable, he sleeps peacefully, and he doesn't have a fever anymore...... After the sun rose again, Qiu Chen finally let out a long breath.
The most dangerous 36 hours after surgery have finally passed. Next, as long as he is properly treated, well-rested, and properly maintained, Junshu's life will no longer be in danger, and his arm will not be disabled.
Junshu woke up and opened his eyes to see his aunt's haggard but joyful face.
"Auntie......" Junshu couldn't help but show a warm smile.
Qiu Chen looked at the young man's bright and bright smile, and the smile on his face became more and more profound: "Junshu, you have been sleeping well last night and have no fever...... In other words, your wound is basically stabilized. ”
Junshu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he sat up with his hands in a hurry, looked at Qiu Chen and confirmed, "Auntie, is it true?" ”
Qiu Chen took a shirt to put on Junshu, then poked a finger on Junshu's head, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, when did my aunt lie to you?" ”
Junshu tilted his head when he nodded, but he could only laugh stupidly.
Qiu Chen didn't let him go, and said with a solemn face: "This time there is a reason for the incident, so I won't pursue it anymore." If so, if you don't know how to take care of your body, and if you get any injuries or illnesses, I don't care anymore. Hmph, not only does it matter, I'll just take the laundry mallet and knock you well...... Remember? ”
Speaking of the most embarrassing back, there is already a bit of a look of intensity.
But such a severe reprimand made Junshu's heart warm, and he felt a sense of guilt, and said in a low voice with red eyes: "Aunt, I wrote it down, don't dare to ...... again"
After Qiu Chen scolded, he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and he was afraid for a while, if she came a day late...... If Xu Changwen hadn't found that military doctor...... What if the pills she made didn't work......
The consequences, she didn't even dare to think about it!
Reaching out to hold Junshu and hugging him tightly in his arms like hugging Ah Fu, Qiu Chen choked up and said: "No matter where you are, whether you are a child or when you grow up, when you do something, first think about your parents and family who are worried about you and waiting for you to come home...... This time it's a lesson, and you can't be so ignorant of the depths anymore! ”
Junshu leaned into his aunt's arms, tears welling up silently. His throat was so choked that he couldn't speak at all, only nodded silently.
The aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried once, Qiu Chen raised his hand to wipe his tears, pushed away Junshu, and couldn't hold back himself and smiled first: "Okay, it's all over!" Remember the lesson, and don't think about it! ”
While talking, he went to the basin to wash his face, washed the cloth towel and took it back to wipe Junshu's hands and face, and said with a smile: "You wait, I'll go and see if the porridge is boiled and ......."
As he spoke, Qiu Chen took the cloth towel in Junshu's hand, put it back on the basin stand, and turned around and walked out of the house.
The reason why she came out was to see the chicken porridge boiled on the stove, and the main thing was to make it convenient for Junshu. Anyway, Junshu is a young man after all, and in front of her, he won't be embarrassed to say it even if he is afraid of being uncomfortable.
She walked out of the door, and after a while, Yang Shumeng and Chengzi also got up and walked out.
As soon as Qiu Chen saw them, he immediately raised a bright smile: "Second brother, Chengzi, Junshu was very stable all night, and he didn't have a fever anymore. Mind you, it shouldn't be any better. ”
Sure enough, before her words fell, Yang Shumeng immediately walked over with a smile: "Really? I'll check it out! ”
"Second brother......" Qiu Chen hurriedly called someone.
It's a pity that under the joy of Yang Shumeng, there were too many movements, and before Qiu Chen's shout fell, he heard a 'bang' in the house......
"Uh...... Hehe...... Hehe......" Qiu Chen sweated, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard quickly, stepping out of the courtyard door, her laughter couldn't help but overflow her lips.
There may be some kind of embarrassment in the house, Qiu Chen simply set aside a space to clean up for those people, and she went to the front hall to ask for food. Just like yesterday, I still let the inn kill a fat chicken and make soup for Junshu.
The worry and anxiety were gone, and Qiu Chen felt that the air in the northern summer morning seemed to be exceptionally fresh and comfortable. After ordering the food, she did not rush back, but walked out of the inn. In a relaxed and happy mood, she is also in the mood to take a look at the streets of this famous Northland border town.
It's just that as soon as she stepped out of the door, she raised her eyes, and she didn't see what the street scene was, but her eyes met the inquiring gaze of a short and thin man across the street. If it was just that, what made Qiu Chen even more suspicious was that the man's gaze on her showed a hint of surprise, and then he quickly turned away to look to the side......
This dodging action is too deliberate, too obvious, and it is obvious that it is difficult not to be suspicious!
For the first time, Qiu Chen thought of Hong Zhanpeng, and then thought that it could be the general of Zhenbei who was hiding his head and tail...... It wasn't enough for these two people to detain Lin Xu in the barracks, and even the inn sent people over to monitor ......
What exactly are they going to do? Who do they think they are?
What kind of general, great general, is it great? Can you despise the lives of ordinary people so much, act so arbitrarily, and not care about the feelings of others, even the lives of others?
If they hadn't deceived Lin Xu into detention, didn't let Lin Xu come back, and didn't send a message back, why would Yang Shumeng go to inquire about Lin Xu's whereabouts every day, so that he ignored Junshu's wounds? If it weren't for the same reason, why would Junshu ignore the wound on his arm and go out every day to find someone to inquire, so that the wound became infected and festered, and he almost lost his life?
Early in the morning, because Junshu's condition was stabilized, he was full of joy and relaxation, and after seeing this sneaky man, it instantly came to naught. Qiu Chen felt that the anger in her heart was burning fiercely, almost burning the calmness and reason that she was proud of.
Her hands were clenched into fists, her teeth biting her lip hard, and she barely managed to suppress the anger that almost erupted in her heart, and the gaze of the man across the street became extremely cold.
She doesn't know martial arts, and she has almost no force value;
She has no identity to rely on, she is just a small common person who speaks lightly, a village woman who came out of a mountain village;
She has no scheming and can calculate to punish those who owe her, and she will not implicate herself in the slightest;
However, she is not a timid and cowardly village woman;
What do she say, she is also a doctor of pharmaceutical chemistry and biochemistry who has obtained high academic results;
The knowledge and abilities mastered by doctors of biochemistry and pharmacochemistry are, to put it bluntly, a double-edged sword, but it depends on the human mind that holds it.
If the person who holds this double-edged sword is full of love and compassion, then this sharp sword will become a life-saving blade that kills the sick and saves countless lives!
If the person who holds this double sword is full of hatred and ruthlessness in his heart, then this sword can easily become a sword of sin and a sword of death that can instantly destroy countless living beings! It's no less powerful than a scythe in the hands of the Grim Reaper!
