The one hundred and seventy-eighth round

Cai Wei pinched Aunt Zhang's mouth with her left hand, and took the branch wrapped in cloth strips in her right hand to her throat and rubbed it a few times, hearing a faint sound in Aunt Zhang's throat, she hurriedly retreated, and saw Aunt Zhang spit out something with a "wow", and there were a few green blades of grass faintly between the soup.

She did the same, and performed the method of inducing vomiting to the rest of the people in turn, and after they vomited once, she asked people to feed them some hot water, and performed the method of inducing vomiting again, until a few people could no longer vomit anything, then she breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve and said: "Okay, those poisonous weed leaves have been vomited, it should be fine." It's just that they have been hungry for too long, and their bodies are already weak, and they have tossed again, so they have to give them something to eat quickly. We also have some gruel prepared for my son-in-law in the car, so I'll feed them first!" ”

Cai Wei ordered Qiu Wu to wrap Qin Fei in a quilt and carry him out of the car, and she herself poured out a small half of the remaining gruel from the warm pot and asked Zhang Jinzhong to distribute it to the old men. I also took some common things from the car and carried them with me in a small bag.

She picked a leeward place, asked Qiu Wu to help Qin Fei sit under a big tree, and tested the temperature on his forehead, but it was still hot, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart.

Qiu Wu whispered: "I'll go down the mountain with them to buy rice in a while, do you want to?" ”

Cai Wei shook her head, "You still have to come back, you can't go." I'm afraid that if you leave, they will think that you have run back to report to arrest them, and they will fall into danger. Second, it's best to have a martial artist by your side, you just need to leave some marks for the rest of the guards, I think there must be some way to pass the message between you, right? ”

Qiu Wu nodded, feeling that this princess was not as useless as he thought before, and he was really a little blindsided.

"You are here to guard the son, I'll take a look at them again, now they owe me such a big favor, I don't think it's for the sake of the two thousand taels of silver tickets, and I shouldn't embarrass us anymore."

She walked to Aunt Zhang's side and saw Zhang Er supporting his mother's body, and his brother Zhang Jinzhong held the porridge bowl and personally fed the old lady porridge. Aunt Zhang has been hungry for several days, and now she finally eats hot porridge, she can't wait to grab the bowl, pour it all in her mouth, eagerly finish the bowl, and look at her son who wants to eat again.

Zhang Er saw that although the porridge was gone, there were still a few pieces of flour cake that Cai Wei gave them, so he shouted: "Big brother, let's soak this bread in hot water, and feed some more to my mother, you see that my mother is hungry!" ”

Cai Wei hurriedly stopped: "No, people who have been hungry for a long time can't eat too much at once, their stomachs will not be able to stand it, but it will hurt her, it is enough to feed this bowl of porridge to the eldest mother first, and then feed her after a while." ”

Zhang Jinzhong was already impressed by this pockmarked, black and ugly housekeeper Zhou at this time, and he was convinced of everything he said. Hurriedly agreed: "We all listen to the benefactor, thank you to the benefactor for saving my mother's life, the benefactor is a great kindness, Zhang will be a picture in this life!" ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to his benefactor to thank him, Cai Wei hurriedly held him up and said: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to be like this, I said it a long time ago, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and doing more good deeds on weekdays will have their own blessings, and I save them to accumulate blessings for myself." ”

"It's just," she glanced at Zhang Er, and saw him standing on the side, looking at herself helplessly, "Little brother of the Zhang family, now you still want to harm the life of me, the benefactor who saved your mother's life?" ”

Zhang Er scratched his head embarrassedly, suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said loudly: "You saved my mother, you are my great benefactor Zhang Dingzhong, I offended you before, I will kowtow to you to make amends!" As soon as the words fell, he kowtowed to Cai Wei three times.

His eldest brother was also on the side to help him speak, "Benefactor, my younger brother was originally not bad-hearted, and he was rude to his benefactor before, but it was because our brothers were deceived once and suffered a big loss. ”

"Five years ago, our brothers led a group of neighbors to build a new yard for the chief, but the work was done, but the chief only gave us 30% of the salary, and our brothers felt that this was too bullying, so they brought everyone to the door to ask the chief for the rest of the salary, saying that if he didn't settle the money, we would go to the county government to sue him. The lieutenant promised to give us the money the next day, and let us disperse first, because he wrote us an IOU on the spot, and we all believed him. ”

"As a result, the person who sent the money did not come the next day, but several officials of the government came, saying that our brothers had stolen the property of the Li Chang's family, and that we were all witnessed, and they took us to see the officials, but charged our brothers with a crime and put us in prison. We took out the IOU to plead, but what was written on it was not how much wages he owed us, but that we had stolen a lot of money from him, and that the Chinese man was bought by him at that time, and he also helped the lieutenant deceive us together, causing our brothers to be imprisoned, and they suffered a lot for more than two years. After that, he no longer refused to believe the nonsense of those officials and rich people, thinking that none of them were good people. ”

Cai Wei nodded, "Little Brother Zhang, please get up!" I saw that you acted a little radical before, and I knew that most of them were for some reason, but things in this world are not black and white, although more than half of the officials are not good officials, and most of the rich people are also rich and unkind, but if you think that all the officials and rich people in the world are not good people, it is too arbitrary. ”

"No matter how dark the world is, there are still some good officials who refuse to go along with it, and there are also some rich people who do not get rich by exploiting others, and will donate large sums of money to do good deeds, which cannot be generalized. It's not early now, although it is difficult to walk at night, but there are so many people here to eat, there must be a lot of rice and noodles to buy, I am afraid that it is a little eye-catching to go during the day, but it is more secure to buy it at night. ”

Zhang Jinzhong nodded: "I think the same way, that is, the benefactor doesn't say it, and I am also planning to arrange a few people to go, the men, women and children here are really hungry, and they are all looking forward to eating earlier." ”

The two brothers picked a few young and strong men, and Zhang Dingzhong led the same Qiu Wu to drive the carriage down the mountain to buy rice and noodles.

Zhang Jinzhong carried the little master of Zhou's housekeeper, the sick "Huang Gongzi", on his back, and led a group of men, women and children to the left to a leeward col. They had been wandering for many days, gathering in groups and threes under the mountain walls or under trees, and with great ease, they would stick a few sticks into the ground, and then take out some tarpaulins and bedding, and put them on top to make a simple little hut, in which they could hide and snuggle together to keep warm.

Cai Wei didn't think that such a simple shack could block the cold wind at night, and she just couldn't bear the cold anymore when she was sick. She was thinking about how to make Qin Fei sleep warmer this night, and Zhang Jinzhong had already come over with a smile on his face and said that he had found a good place for him and Huang Gongzi.

"Uncle Liu and the others found a cave at the bottom of the mountain over there, and it was warmer to live there than these rag shacks. You all have never suffered or suffered from the cold, Mr. is now our savior, and Huang Gongzi is an important person who can let us eat for a few more days, but I can't let you suffer from the cold like us. I'll take you there, but unfortunately the cave is a little smaller, and I can't live a few more people. ”

Cai Wei hurriedly thanked him and asked him to carry Qin Fei to the small cave, and Zhang Jinzhong found a few more tarpaulins to block the entrance of the cave for her, which could somewhat block some cold wind blowing in at night.

After a while, Zhang Jinzhong came in again, brought her a large bundle of dry firewood and grass and a jar of water, and helped her build a fire before leaving.

Cai Wei put the jug on the fire, waited for it to boil, poured a bowl in the bowl, stirred it cold with a spoon, tried the water temperature, and then scooped a spoonful and sent it to Qin Fei's lips, and said softly: "Childe, drink some hot water!" ”

Qin Fei's eyes were still closed, but his lips opened slightly unconsciously, and Cai Wei fed him a bowl of hot water to drink.

Cai Wei poured another bowl of water from the jar, and was about to quench the thirst in her mouth when the patient leaning against the cave wall began to cry out for hunger.

Cai Wei sighed, put down the water bowl, took out two dough cakes from her sleeve, tore them into small pieces and soaked them in hot water, and then fed them to Qin Fei when they were extremely soft.

This was the dinner she had secretly hidden on her body before, and she was going to have one with Qin Fei alone, but who knew that after feeding him a dough cake, he still pulled his sleeves and muttered softly, "I want to ...... more."

Cai Wei had to soak her share and feed it to him, seeing that it was not enough for him to finish eating, he was still muttering "more", so he pinched his face angrily and scolded: "Hey, are you a rice bucket?" I'm so sick that I can't wake up, how can I still eat like this, I'm hungry myself, and I've given you all the dinner to eat, you're not enough? Anyway, I don't have anything to eat anymore, so you can go hungry, no matter how much you call, it's useless! ”

She remembered all the hateful things about this guy who bullied her every day, so she took advantage of the fact that he was so sick that she didn't know who was going to know who was going to know him, and pinched his left cheek, and then pinched his right cheek, and pinched it three or four times before she felt the sullen breath that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time. I touched my empty stomach, and wanted to drink some hot water to barely satisfy my hunger, but I was afraid that the water would be too much, and it would not be convenient to go out to the toilet, so I had to drink a few sips, and fell asleep, hoping that Qiu Wu would bring back food earlier.
