Chapter 141: Settling in the Cave
Mo Xiruo took Zhu Rongyu out of the mountains and forests of Hessen, at this time the sky was gradually brightening, thinking that after those people woke up, they would immediately chase after them, and at their current speed, they would be caught up sooner or later, and his heart was a little anxious.
Fortunately, on the endless road, not far away I heard the sound of the carriage rubbing, looking through the hazy light, someone drove the carriage slowly, that person was a farmer who went into the city to sell vegetables, Mo Xiruo stopped the carriage, Chu Chu said pitifully almost pleadingly: "Uncle, my eldest brother is seriously ill, we don't have a carriage, take us into the city to see a doctor." The old man of the carriage was a warm-hearted person, and he glanced sympathetically at Zhu Rongyu, who was pale at this time, leaning on Mo Xiruo's body with all his weight, and agreed without saying a word.
The farmer got out of the carriage and got Zhu Rongyu who was in a coma with Mo Xiruo, and saw that Zhu Rongyu was very sick and couldn't wait to go to the city to see a doctor, he didn't delay, and hit the old horse on the buttocks, and the old horse jumped up, changed his previous slow speed, spread the horse's hooves and ran forward.
In less than an hour, he arrived on Yandu Street, Mo Xiruo thanked the farmer, got off the carriage, and went straight to the Imperial Capital Medicine Hall. The Imperial Capital Pharmacy is a convenient pharmacy opened by the royal family, not only has a good doctor to sit for consultation, but also is twelve hours without closing, at this time the day is just dawn, there is no one in the clinic, a somewhat tired doctor is tinkering with medicinal herbs under the lamp.
The doctor checked Zhu Rongyu's pulse, and then checked the wounds on his body, and his brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, "This girl, who tortured your eldest brother like this, this person is too inhumane, his blood was almost sucked dry by poisonous leeches, and soaked in the Guisi potion, Guisi's poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, I am afraid that even if he is left alive, he will become a murderous demon without his own thoughts." ”
"Is there a way for the doctor to cure the poison of his thoughts?" Mo Xiruo was born in a pharmaceutical family, and vaguely heard of the poison of Guisi, which is roughly a poison that makes the poisoned person become a kind of blood-drinking beast, she didn't inquire in detail, and asked anxiously.
"He was so poisoned that I couldn't solve it. I have three pills here, take them in three days, temporarily suppress the poison of meditation in his body, if he can survive the first three days, it will prove that there is still salvation, and I will bring him over after three days, and I will prescribe another medicine. In addition, it is a medicine for poisonous insect bites, and after three days, it can eliminate the rotten areas on his legs and regenerate new flesh. "The doctor explained them one by one.
Mo Xiruo took the pills and dressings handed over by the doctor, paid for the consultation, and left, at this time it was already dawn, and he didn't dare to stay on Yandu Street for more, so he hired a carriage, planning to find a secluded place on the outskirts of Yandu to treat Zhu Rongyu well.
As soon as I ran out of Yandu, when I arrived at the fork in the suburbs of the city, I saw an official holding her portrait and checking passers-by. She secretly screamed badly, immediately turned the horse's head, ran to a mountain forest path on the side of the road, turned around and didn't know how long she shuttled in the mountain forest, but also considered her lucky, when running in the mountain forest path, she accidentally found a small cave, the cave is surrounded by lush weeds and plants, do not look carefully, and can not see that there is a cave.
Her melancholy mood dissipated by the appearance of this small cave. Now that the ghost demon has joined forces with the government to search them everywhere, she is alone, Zhu Rongyu is unconscious, it is impossible to get out of Yandu, and there is nowhere else to go, and she has to go to the street to get medicine for Zhu Rongyu to treat her illness can not be too far away from Yandu, this small cave can be used as a temporary shelter.
Mo Xiruo carried the unconscious Zhu Rongyu into the cave, found a large pile of dry firewood nearby and spread it on the ground, used it as Zhu Rongyu's bed, and after giving medicine to his wounds, he came out of the cave.
She untied the horse, walked three or five miles, took it to the intersection of the mountains and forests, let it leave on its own, and left the horse here to easily expose the target, and then began to arrange the defense facilities of the cave, she made a green wood door at the entrance of the cave, covered the entrance of the cave, and looked for stones, vines and other things nearby, and used these to make traps, when someone came in to attack, she could resist for a while, and worked all day.
There are some old drinking utensils in the cave, which seem to have been left by previous hunters or forest keepers. Mo Xiruo was on the way back from herding horses in the forest just now, and accidentally found a few small mountain springs, went to the mountain springs to wash the drinking utensils, fetched some water back, and then set up a stove in the cave, lit a fire and boiled a pot of water.
When Zhu Rongyu woke up, he saw that he had been stripped naked, Mo Xiruo was wiping his body with a handkerchief, his face was ashamed and annoyed, but he lost too much blood and was powerless to resist at all, only his eyes could still move, glaring at her fiercely, and he couldn't eat her alive.
Mo Xiruo ignored it, "Don't just stare at me, there are so many blisters on your body, and the wounds of poisonous leeches, if you don't scrub and scrub them, how can the wounds heal quickly?" If I don't take good care of you, how can I give Brother Lan an errand? ”
The next day, Mo Xiruo went to the mountains and forests to look for usable ingredients and fruits, and yesterday he had eaten all the dry food he brought, and living in the mountains and forests, food supply was the number one problem. However, she has loved to run to the mountains and forests since she was a child, and was born in a pharmaceutical family, and she has been exposed to the medicinal and edible properties of these plants in the mountains and forests since she was a child, so it is not a problem to identify the ingredients in the mountains and forests, but these wild plants are not enough, Zhu Rongyu has lost too much blood, her body is weak, and she has to take supplements.
She walked around in the mountains and forests for a long time, but the wild plants were found a lot, but the wild animals did not see one, and finally found a pheasant, her hands and feet were a little slower, an arrow missed, and the pheasant flew into the bushes and disappeared, she approached the bushes and stared at the lantern eyes for a long time and did not find it, and sat on the grass depressed for a long time. Later, I finally caught a little goat, or a little goat that had just learned to walk and was blind in one eye, because of its slow movements, it got lost again, and was finally caught by her.
Although she couldn't bear it, she couldn't help it, Zhu Rongyu's life was critical, so she disemboweled the little goat with a handful of snot and tears, and then stewed a pot of soup with some wild medicinal herbs picked back from the mountains and forests, and fed Zhu Rongyu to drink.
Zhu Rongyu frowned at first when he drank the soup, closed his mouth and was reluctant to drink, Mo Xiruo took a lot of effort, pinched his chin and poured a bowl of soup.
At the end of the day, even if he was carefully served, Zhu Rongyu still remembered the hatred that his body was looked at, and he didn't pay much attention to Mo Xiruo, and a simple facial expression could be regarded as a response, for example, his lips were hooked, indicating that he was still satisfied with the taste; frowning, it means that the taste is not good enough, and he is not satisfied; Keeping his mouth closed, it was quite unpalatable, and he swore not to eat it.
Mo Xiruo wiped his mouth, "You just drink, you don't know how uncomfortable I feel here, I have grown so big, and it is the first time I have operated on a living little life, and I feel as if I am guilty." ”
The corners of Zhu Rongyu's mouth curled up, and she glanced at her, which meant "hypocrisy".
Mo Xiruo accurately interpreted his expression, "You still say that I am hypocritical, I am all for you." ”
Zhu Rongyu raised his eyebrows, meaning, "So what, you killed it anyway, and I didn't do it." ”
Mo Xiruo couldn't fight him, so he had to admit defeat.
The two stayed in the cave for three days, Zhu Rongyu recovered well, and was able to walk on the ground, although he only recovered thirty percent of his strength, but it did not prevent him from making his own bow and arrow to shoot the prey, so this "bloody killing" fell on Zhu Rongyu's head.
Mo Xiruo went to the city and prepared to go to the doctor in the Imperial Capital Medicine Hall to get the follow-up medicine.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw a portrait of her Mo Xiruo hanging at the door of each pharmacy, which read, "Whoever finds the clue of this person will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver." This heavy bounty order, for a while, attracted a group of people on the street to gather to see, and there were many discussions, what is the concept of five hundred taels of silver, and a pair of eyes in the crowd are shining, wishing that the person who found the clue and received the bounty was himself.
Mo Xiruo took the hat, lowered her head, and left quickly, returning to the cave in a gloomy manner, she frowned at the thought of returning empty-handed and Zhu Rongyu's medicine was missing.
Seeing her sighing, Zhu Rongyu comforted, "Didn't you just get the antidote?" Look at your useless appearance, you can't do it today, and you'll find a way tomorrow. ”
Mo Xiruo didn't wait for the next day, she was worried that if Zhu Rongyu's poison of return was not restrained in time, the consequences would be very serious, and then she went to the city again, and now she disguised herself as a beggar.
The streets and alleys are full of documents offering rewards for her capture, and all kinds of checkpoints and intersections are officers and soldiers who check passing passers-by, not including those ghostly people who are mixed in with the people and wearing civilian clothes.
Mo Xiruo patrolled outside for several hours, and then slipped into a secluded corner, since she couldn't get in, she waited for the doctor who diagnosed Zhu Rongyu to come out. Because of the long-term observation, which doctors entered the pharmacy, when they left, and which direction they went, she had a clear account in her heart.
Finally waiting for the doctor to come out, she quietly followed, and when she got closer, she jumped up, blocked his way, didn't care so much, put her sword against his neck, "Don't shout, or I'll kill you, three days ago, you saw a patient who was poisoned by 'Guisi', and said that you would come back to get the medicine in three days, where is the medicine?" ”
The doctor was also calm, "Girl, you are forcing me with a sword, and I don't have an antidote to control it." The poison of Gui Si is very poisonous, and it is not easy to refine the antidote to control it, it will take three days to refine one, even if you kill me now, I can't conjure it for you immediately. ”
Mo Xiruo shook his head vigorously, "No, I don't care, I can't watch him suffer, you have to get it for me quickly, or I'll set fire to your house." ”
This is the first time she has done such a thing, but she has to get out of it.
The doctor is also a good person, knowing that the people in Yandu are searching for her now, she made this move, and smiled, "Girl, you put down the sword, if you have something to say, although the medicine is difficult to refine, but the medicinal materials are not difficult to find, I will give you the prescription, you go back and boil it slowly, although the decoction is not as good as the pill, but it still works." ”
Mo Xiruo glanced at the doctor suspiciously, and put down his sword, "You say, tell me the prescription, but you can't fool me, in case you cheat, or make a mistake with the medicine, I will not spare you, and I will still burn your house." ”
The doctor couldn't laugh or cry, "Girl, in the eyes of the doctor, there is no difference between beautiful and ugly patients, good or bad, my vocation is to save people, how can I harm people?" ”
Mo Xiruo's face flashed with shame, "Then you say it, I'll remember it when I listen to it." ”
After listening to the prescription reported by the doctor, Mo Xiruo hurriedly went to grab the medicine. Because she pretended to be a beggar, she didn't pay much attention to her, but her conversation with the doctor just now still didn't hide her ears in the dark, and when she came back from buying medicinal herbs, she was targeted by four or five people.
