Chapter 61: The Problem of Medicine
Section 538
"Ahem, ahem...... cough ...... "In the wind and snow, the carriage, which was so dilapidated that it leaked on all sides, was trudging with difficulty under the pull of two horses.
Outside the car, more than a dozen knights who looked tired but still vigilant arched around and hesitated.
Among the knights were several horses, and the empty saddle was covered with several inches of snow. Occasionally, a bold sparrow fell, jumped for a while, and flew away.
Near the carriage, two other rows of hoof prints were in the distance, as if they were scouts sent out by this team.
The group walked in silence.
Only the violent coughing sound came from time to time in the carriage, which made Deng Zongqi outside the carriage frown from time to time, showing a worried look.
In the car, Shen Shujing, who looked blank, helped Deng Wanwan, who was coughing to death-in their group, the leaders Pei Xin, Deng Zongqi and Gu Xinian had all been honed in the bitter cold frontier places of Donghu and Xiliang, although they traveled in a hurry on a cold day, they would not get sick.
Among the female dependents, Wei Changying and Gu Rouzhang have both learned martial arts and have also been in Xiliang, so they are fine except for being tired. Among the group, Deng Wanwan and Shen Shujing's bodies were the most delicate, but Shen Shujing was the most delicate in the group, although Shen Shujing was so sad that because of the pain and the family, the originally beautiful girl was a little wooden, and her body was still good.
But Deng Wanwan contracted the wind chill from the day after they broke through, and the high fever has not subsided, and the cough is getting worse and worse.
Although they are now more than a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, there are still a few small hills in between, and heavy snow can also cover their whereabouts, so they will not meet a large number of Rong people in the future. But there are so many bandits in recent years, and after breaking through, there are only more than ten of their guards left, to put it mildly, large-scale bandits, even the big families in the county have bad intentions, and it is difficult to deal with them.
Still not safe.
Therefore, although I saw the city in the middle, I didn't even dare to approach it because there were no reliable cronies or clansmen in the team.
When passing through a few small towns before, Deng Zongqi sneaked in alone to find a doctor, but found that most of these places were about ten rooms and nine empty, and it was difficult to find even a living person, let alone a doctor. Now Deng Wanwan can only keep up with the team like this.
Fortunately, Deng Zongqi found a carriage the day before yesterday, although it was tattered and couldn't block the wind, he could finally let the ladies get on the car and rest.
At this time, Wei Changying also took advantage of the carriage to turn out the same large and small porcelain bottles and wooden bottles from his own package - Huang's preparation really came in handy, but slowly!
She turned the bottles and jars out, and then ...... looked at Gu Rouzhang: "Which one should it be?" ”
"Is there really a medicine that can cure the wind and cold?" Gu Rouzhang looked at the dazzling scenes in the small carriage and asked suspiciously.
Wei Changying hesitated and said, "There should be, Aunt Huang said that the commonly used medicines are all in it." Isn't wind chill often used? Especially if it's cold today, Aunt Huang ...... It's impossible not to be prepared for it. Thinking of that loyal old servant, Wei Changying's heart ached, and he paused before he could finish speaking.
"So, when you contracted the wind and cold in the past, Aunt Huang must have given you food?" Gu Rouzhang picked up a porcelain vase and opened it, and said, "Which one do you look like?" ”
“…… The last time I contracted a cold was before I left the cabinet, and at that time, Aunt Huang hadn't served me. Wei Changying opened the other, poured out a handful of vermilion pills, and sniffed it, "This one doesn't taste like it." ”
Gu Rouzhang sniffed the bottle he opened: "What does it smell like?" ”
"Well, I was drinking a decoction...... Where do you remember all these years? ”
"Then why don't you say it's not?"
“…… Guess. Wei Changying bit her lip and handed the medicine to Deng Wanwan, "Wanwan, do you smell it?" If you feel better, maybe you are? ”
Gu Rouzhang hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, slow down!" What kind of medicine did Aunt Huang give you? Won't there be anything you can't eat indiscriminately? ”
"I didn't know, but at that time, my aunt said that everything that might be used on the road was put in." Wei Changying's face was slightly pale from the cold wind blown into the car, and she flushed with embarrassment, "I haven't usually asked my aunt's medicine." ”
She is in good health, in addition to pregnancy and childbirth, that is, when she is busy, Huang will give her some tonic to replenish her energy...... But those are freshly boiled, unlike pills. Wei Changying didn't know anything about medical medicine, and he suddenly made a mistake at this moment.
Previously, Huang said that let her catch a small beast to try the medicinal properties. But now, this icy ...... Where to catch the little beasts?
"Alas, it's a pity that Brother Ziming is not here." Gu Rouzhang saw this and that, and after dismantling more than a dozen bottles of medicine, she leaned against the wall of the car in despair, reached out and touched Deng Wanwan's forehead, who was already in a trance and didn't even have the strength to answer, only to feel that the tentacles were hot, and she was secretly shocked in her heart, and murmured, "My second brother's reading is said to be better than that of Brother Ziming, but he is not angry, and he has never read a medical book!" ”
Earlier, when Deng Wanwan had a fever, the group was in the wilderness, and they were helpless - they knew the cure for the wind and cold, and they didn't have the place to look for herbs. Hearing that Wei Changying had medicine in his bag, and it was very complete, everyone was overjoyed.
As a result, everyone began to work together to distinguish which bottle of medicine did what it did...... Until now, there has not been a single bottle that can be determined.
It can't all be blamed on Gu Xinian for not reading a few more medical books when they were studying, because the Huang family prepared dozens of bottles of medicine for Wei Changying!
According to what she explained to Wei Changying, there are dozens of medicines, which are ......
So until now, I didn't dare to give Deng Wanwan medicine.
"I don't know if I will meet anyone who knows how to walk along this road?" Wei Changying frowned, opened the water bag in his coat and took a sip, feeling that the water was still hot, so he carefully held it to Deng Wanwan's lips and said in a low voice, "Wanwan, drink some water." ”
When they travel, everyone remembers to bring some soft food, some dry food, and even some wound medicine.
But I forgot to bring water.
In fact, I remember that I won't bring a lot of water, it's too heavy.
What's more, now that it's icy and snowy, isn't the snow all over the ground just water? Besides, even if it doesn't snow, there are many water sources near the imperial capital.
The problem is that they also forgot to bring the utensils with boiling water, so that after the group finally escaped the pursuit of the Rong people when they left the city, they could only drink snow to quench their thirst, regardless of whether they were weak or not.
Later, they realized that Shen Shujing and Deng Wanwan couldn't bear it, so Wei Changying and Gu Rouzhang had to take the snow in their mouths, and after the snow turned into water in their mouths, they fed the two.
Now this bit of hot water is still last night, it was easy to find a broken crockpot, and Deng Zongqi braved the snow to find some firewood, and burned the hot water of such a bladder little by little.
So after feeding Deng Wanwan water, Wei Changying immediately put the water bladder back into his coat and kept it at his body temperature to prevent it from getting cold.
…… The hardships of this journey were unimaginable to those of them who were born in the splendid pile.
Unconsciously, the heart-rending pain when leaving the imperial capital was gradually buried by one difficult thing after another.
Of course, the heartache cannot be forgotten so quickly, but in the past few days, everyone has had to deal with all kinds of difficulties, and there is almost no time to think about it.
Those relatives who did not leave the imperial capital, those relatives who broke through the east gate...... Those faithful servants...... Those people...... Everything that used to be......
&
nbsp; There are very few efforts to even glance back at the imperial capital.
"Ahem......" Deng Wanwan coughed again.
"It's not an option to drag on like this." Gu Rouzhang pulled Shen Shujing, let her, who had been supporting Deng Wanwan for more than two hours, switch positions with herself, stroked Deng Wanwan's back, and discussed with Wei Changying in a low voice, "Why don't you call Xiangzhi over and let Wanwan take some medicine first?" I think since Aunt Huang asked Sister Wei to use it on your way, there will be no bad medicine, otherwise wouldn't it accidentally hurt you? ”
Wei Changying had no better way, and said, "This is the only way." ”
Because her two handmaidens Qin Ge and Yan Ge broke through in order to cover her and Shen Shujing, one Qin Ge was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse, and most of them had already encountered an accident; The other Yan Ge fought hard with a hammer man who chased after him, vomited blood and left, and fell into a coma after getting into the carriage. At this moment, if she wanted to call Deng Zongqi, she had to come by herself, she waited for Gu Rouzhang to cover Deng Wanwan's head and face, then lifted the curtain slightly, and called: "Xiangzhi, come over for a while, I will discuss something." Because of the breakthrough together, the relationship between everyone quickly became closer in a few days, and Wei Changying no longer called the man who was traveling with him a son, and they all referred to each other by words.
Deng Zongqi heard the voice and looked at her - somehow, Wei Changying was looked at by him like this, and his heart jumped for no reason.
"Wei ...... Sister-in-law, I don't know if it's bending her? Deng Zongqi glanced at her and immediately retracted his gaze, turned his horse to the side of the car intently, and asked softly.
"The fever has not subsided, and now the cough is getting worse and worse. Now in this icy and snowy world, we don't know when we will meet the doctor. Because of the limited space on the carriage and the difference between men and women, it is not convenient for Deng Zongqi to get on the carriage to visit his sister, and it is even more inconvenient for him to talk after getting on the carriage.
So Wei Changying could only draw the curtain and discuss with him who was leaning on the side of the car, "If you go on like this, I'm afraid it will be ...... Not so good. It's all to blame for my stupidity, I usually never pay attention to the medicine from Aunt Huang, but now I can't tell which bottle is for treating wind and cold. Sister Gu told me about it, and felt that since Aunt Huang was giving me a spare medicine, there would be nothing bad in it. Why don't you let you choose a bottle to try? It's just that...... These are all guesses, and I don't know if there is anything in these medicines that can't be taken casually? ”
Deng Zongqi's brows were furrowed, and his face showed a look of struggle...... After a long time, he said softly: "After a while, Brother Tu Enemy and they should be back." I want to wait for them to come back and make a decision, okay? ”
"Okay." Slaughtering the enemy is Pei Chen's word, and in the past few days, it is Deng Zongqi, Pei Xian and Gu Xinian who take turns to take people out to explore the way...... It would be nice if Pei Xin could bring back good news, Wei Changying sighed lightly, nodded with Deng Zongqi, lowered the curtain and returned to the car.
The carriage was broken, and it could not be insulated from any wind, let alone sound. Although Deng Zongqi's voice was soft, Gu Rouzhang could hear it clearly, raised his head at this moment, and sighed lightly: "Although we had a few thrills when we went out of the city, it was much easier than we imagined before. The few of us are all intact, and I just hope that there is such good luck now. ”
Deng Wanwan really can't be delayed.
"yes, but hopefully...... All is well. Wei Changying replied vaguely, but she thought of her two children and her husband...... Are they okay? Are they reunited? , the fastest update of the latest chapter of this book, refreshing, I hope you can like it.
