Chapter Ninety-Three: The Man and Ejiao
"Miss, no cotton was found, only gauze." Bai Ying put the basin on the ground and handed over the things in his hand.
"Help me wring the towel dry." Sanniang put the gauze on the bed, waited for Bai Ying to wring the cloth towel in the basin and handed it over, and quickly wiped the blood on Xuan Shao's back with her uninjured hand. Then with the help of Bai Ying, he wrapped Xuan Shao's injuries with gauze. When all this is done, the face and body are already **.
"Miss, do you want to bandage your hands?" Bai Ying said a little worriedly.
"In the summer, the wound is not suitable for healing if it is bandaged." Although Xuan Shao looked very tired, it was probably due to the pain, but he was a little more awake than at the beginning.
"Bai Ying, go prepare some salt water." If you lose too much blood, you need to drink salt water to replenish salt, right? Sanniang tried hard to think about what she knew. I just started to panic for a while, forgetting that I had to clean the wound with salt water, and I didn't know if it would be infected.
Bai Ying glanced at Xuan Shao and bowed down.
"Do you still have the Hachizhen Pill that was given to you last time?" Xuan Shao's voice brought Sanniang back to her senses.
"And, you wait." Sanniang looked down and rummaged through the small purse she was carrying, and soon found the small porcelain bottle that was the same as the trauma medicine on the bed.
Xuan Shao was stunned for a moment when he watched Sanniang's movements, and his originally pale face turned a hint of imperceptible crimson.
"How many grains?" Sanniang opened the cap of the bottle and asked Xuan Shaodao, who was drooping his eyes.
"Two grains."
Sanniang poured out two pills, first twisted one and handed it to Xuan Shao's lips.
Xuan Shao looked at the pill and didn't move.
"Do you need water?" Sanniang frowned and asked, but seeing Xuan Shao's eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, Sanniang suddenly remembered something. Is it because he thinks of the male and female defenses and thinks that her behavior is too intimate?
Sanniang is helpless, human life is at stake, and she can still think of this. It seems that he can't die.
Just wanted to ask Xuan Shao if he could take the medicine by himself, Xuan Shao had already opened his mouth slightly and held the pill in Sanniang's hand. Then he swallowed it. Sanniang didn't speak, and continued to feed him another one and swallow it.
Xuan Shao took the pill, closed his eyes and rested for a while, although his face was still pale and weak, his spirit was actually better, Sanniang remembered that the last time she took this Bazhen pill, it seemed that she could also refresh herself, but she didn't know if there were any side effects.
Sanniang put away the medicine bottle, dagger and other things placed on the bed, swept to the blood-stained hidden weapon on the ground, and bent down to pick it up. The diamond-shaped hidden weapon on the water chestnut is extremely sharp. There are also four blood troughs around him, no wonder Xuan Shao will faint from blood loss.
"Be careful."
Xuan Shao didn't know when he had already opened his eyes, frowned and said to Sanniang who picked up the hidden weapon and looked at it curiously.
Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled: "I've already eaten it once, how can I still be hurt by it?" I'm careful. But he wrapped the secret weapon with the cloth cut from Xuanshao's clothes and put it aside.
looked at Xuan Shao's clothes that had been cut out of a big hole in his back. Sanniang suddenly remembered that she should find a dry clothes to help him change. Although Wang Jing is a few years younger than him. But he was born taller and sturdier than people of the same age, and presumably his clothes Xuan Shao could wear. However, it became a difficult problem who would help him change it. Luckily, it's summer. Don't worry about catching a cold.
Xuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw Sanniang staring at his back, remembering that the clothes on his back were still cut, although it was because of the gauze, but after all, it was disheveled.
Fortunately, Bai Ying came in at this time, and Sanniang diverted her gaze. Xuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Xuan, can you drink some water and take a break?" Sanniang pointed to the bowl of salt water in Bai Ying's hand.
Seeing that Xuan Shao did not object. Bai Ying stepped forward and fed the water in the bowl to Xuan Shao.
Xuan Shao took a sip and frowned, but still drank all the water.
"Where did you learn this?" Xuan Shao asked suddenly.
will cut the wound with the dagger by burning the wound, and also know that the water with salt added to feed the wounded is not understood by ordinary boudoir women.
Sanniang smiled when she heard this: "I have read some medical books shallowly, but I have never had the opportunity to use them, and I don't know if I have done it right." ”
Xuan Shao nodded and stopped talking.
Sanniang saw the bathtub on the side in a blink of an eye, and suddenly felt that her whole body was itching, and after a busy time, she felt that her clothes were sticking to her back, and she seemed to be able to smell the smell of sweat on her body. But the water in the bathtub is already cold, and because there is one more Xuan Shao here, he can't take a bath in the room.
"Is there still hot water? I'll go to the clean room in the back and wash up. The maids and maids also had to take a bath, and she was afraid that the hot water would not be able to boil for a while.
"The kitchen is just about to bring water to the slave maid, so the slave maid will arrange it." Bai Ying turned around and was about to go out.
"Wait." Sanniang stopped Bai Ying, thought for a while and asked, "Do we have any blood-replenishing herbs to bring?" ”
Although she couldn't go out to ask the doctor to grab the medicine, she remembered that Mama Zhao had prepared medicinal materials for them to take on the road. If only there were some of them that could replenish the blood.
Bai Ying thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The medicines for tonifying the body have been sent to the Zhao Mansion, and only some emergency medicines such as Puji pills have been left." ”
"By the way, I remember that when I left, my grandmother gave me some good ejiao and red dates, you can look for them, and then hand them over to the kitchen to boil." Sanniang suddenly thought.
Bai Ying was stunned when she heard this, and said uncertainly: "Miss, but you want to give Xuan Gongzi a drink?" ”
Sanniang nodded: "I heard that Ejiao has a very good effect on blood replenishment, since there are no other medicinal materials, then you can only use Ejiao." ”
Bai Ying glanced at Sanniang, and saw that her expression was very serious and not like a joke, so she couldn't help but remind: "But, Miss." Ejiao is for women, and men ......" Bai Ying's face was a little strange.
Sanniang smiled: "But there are men who can't use Ejiao?" ”
Bai Ying thought about it carefully, and didn't seem to say that men must not take Ejiao, so she shook her head.
"That's it, everything is in power, you just go." She remembered that in her previous life, her cousin broke his leg and bled a lot, and her grandmother gave him Ejiao soup, and she didn't see any discomfort.
Bai Ying had no choice but to take the order.
Bai Ying arranged the clean room, Sanniang asked Bai Ying to guard the door, and went to call Bai Zhi to accompany her to take a bath. Fortunately, Mama Zhang did not return to Qingcheng County this time because she still had to stay in Yanzhou to deal with some things on the acres for the old lady. Everything is simple when she goes out, and she only uses a maid to live, and she has not had such an arrangement before, so that it will not arouse suspicion.
Sanniang took a bath, sent Bai Zhi back to rest, and asked Bai Ying to take a wash when she returned to the room.
Seeing that Xuan Shao was already resting with his eyes closed, he moved the oil lamp at the bedside to the couch by the window, and while waiting for his hair to dry out, he flipped through a few pages of the book.
She rarely read by oil lamp at night, so after reading a few pages, her eyes felt a little sour, so she put the book down. looked at Xuan Shao on the bed, remembered what happened today, and secretly guessed Xuan Shao's identity.
At the beginning, because he had to help Xuan Shao treat his wounds, he had no time to take care of him, and when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. According to Xuan Shao, those who are tracking him can find people in this fat city with great fanfare, and they must be some forces on the surface. But if Xuan Shao is a person in the rivers and lakes, or a wanted criminal by the imperial court, then it is still in the past.
The problem is that Xuan Shao is a member of Prince Zhuang's Mansion and a clan. Such an ordinary social force on the surface would not dare to provoke him, and the power of the official family would not be hostile to him, how could he be so embarrassed?
Thinking like this, Bai Ying had already packed up and came back, still holding a bowl of thick black soup in her hand.
"Miss, this is Ejiao ginseng and jujube soup." Bai Ying handed Sanniang the soup that exuded the unique aroma of Ejiao that night, with some hesitation in her eyes.
Sanniang nodded, got up and went to the bedside, and motioned for Bai Ying to follow.
"Xuan Gongzi, Xuan Gongzi, drink the medicine." Sanniang called softly.
Xuan Shao on the bed seemed to be asleep, and there was no movement.
"Miss, Xuan Gongzi seems to be asleep, why don't you wait for him to wake up before drinking?" Bai Ying said softly.
Sanniang wanted to nod, but when she saw Xuan Shao's long eyelashes, she trembled slightly, and couldn't help but be stunned? Is he pretending to be asleep? Sanniang couldn't help crying and laughing.
Originally, in Sanniang's opinion, although Xuan Shao was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was a little less impetuous and frivolous than teenagers of the same age, and a little more calm and experienced.
I think that with his ear power, he must have heard what she told Bai Ying just now, and it must be difficult to refuse her medicine and not want to drink it at this time, so he wanted them to retreat.
However, they don't have any other medicinal materials now, and they can't go to the pharmacies and medical centers in Feicheng, so it is most suitable to drink Ejiao soup if they want to recover their bodies as soon as possible.
Sanniang said a little helplessly: "Master Xuan, the most important thing is to raise your body back as soon as possible." We don't have any other medicinal materials in our hands now, and you have lost so much blood, how can you eat without replenishing your body? You yourself are half a doctor, how can you avoid medical treatment? ”
There was silence on the bed for a long time, Sanniang waited patiently, and finally, Xuan Shao opened his eyes and frowned at the blue and white porcelain bowl in Bai Ying's hand.
"Ejiao is eaten by women."
Sanniang couldn't help but want to laugh, but she was afraid that if she laughed, Xuan Shao would be even more reluctant to drink. So she said with a stern face: "Master Xuan, medicinal materials are only applicable and not applicable, where are there men and women?" Besides, since ancient times, there have been many men who have eaten ejiao, and you are not the one who sets a precedent. ”
"And the man has eaten?" Bai Ying said curiously, she always thought that Ejiao was only used by women to replenish blood and beauty.
Sanniang said seriously: "Of course, the first person to take Ejiao was a man." Haven't you heard such a poem? 'Give me the elixir, made by the Emperor of God. Teach me to take it, and also refine my brain. Longevity is the same as gold and stone, and it is difficult to grow old forever. It is said that this is the poem written by the first man to take ejiao. ”
This is still when she laughed at her cousin for eating what women ate, and her cousin proudly read it to her, it is said that the person who wrote the poem was Cao Zhi, as for whether this is the case, she doesn't know, anyway, there is no one named Cao Zhi in the history here.
