Chapter 163: Osmanthus Nectar
As soon as Bai Zhi stepped into the camp tent, he saw mountains of wood and sawdust, while Gong Zhiyu was lying in the corner, his body curled up in a ball, his thick eyelashes fluttering slightly, looking really pitiful.
Bai Zhi leaned down to check his pulse, and after a moment, withdrew his fingertips.
"What's wrong with him?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"If you are infected with a little cold, just drink a bowl of medicinal soup." Bai Zhi took out the pen and ink to write the recipe.
Cold......
She suddenly remembered that Gong Yiyu was bathing in the river, could it be that he was infected at that time?
"Song Jun attaches great importance to the matter of the bed crossbow, and his illness may be delayed." Liu Ruyan sighed.
"It doesn't matter." Bai Zhi put the prescription into his sleeve, "He is not seriously ill, and a bowl of medicine can be effective." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough—" There was a coughing sound from the banquet, Gong Yuyu sat up half-propped up, his eyelids drooped, and his voice looked weak because of weakness, "It's Huai'an's weak body, and his illness has affected everyone, if General Xie blames him, I will bear it alone." ”
Liu Ruyan's eyelashes were half drooping, and if she hadn't met Gong Yuyu by the river, he wouldn't have let the cold air enter his body.
"It's because I didn't take care of it, and my little brother was tired." She sincerely apologized.
Gong Yuyu shook his head weakly, and reluctantly smiled, "You can't blame you for this." ”
She pursed her lips and was silent, remembering that Gong Yiyu had not yet eaten rice, so she asked, "Is my little brother hungry, I'll bring you a bowl of noodles." ”
"Why don't I go and make some medicinal porridge." Bai Zhi kindly proposed.
Gong Yiyu heard that Bai Zhi wanted to cook porridge with his own hands, and readily agreed, "Doctor Gou is benevolent, I really thank you." ”
"Drink some medicinal porridge to help you recover." Bai Zhi said truthfully.
The smile in Gong Yuyu's eyes deepened, but his face was slightly cramped, "I am sick, my throat is dry and hoarse, if I am in the house, my cook will definitely boil a bowl of lily lotus seed soup, and then mix two spoonfuls of osmanthus nectar in it, the taste is sweet, Huai'an misses it very much." ”
Bai Zhi frowned, lilies and lotus seeds are not difficult to get, but as the king of honey, osmanthus nectar has to be specially found, "I'll go and see where there is osmanthus nectar." ”
Liu Ruyan remembered that there were several bee nests in the back mountain, "I'll go with you to find it." ”
The cough came again.
Gong Yuyu said in a hoarse voice: "Little soldier, pour some water for me, it needs to be warm." ”
There is only boiling water and raw water in the camp, and if you drink warm water, you have to cool it slowly.
"You stay and take care of him, and I'll go into the mountains alone." After speaking, Bai Zhi walked out of the account.
On this day, Liu Ruyan stayed by Gong Yuyu's side and walked around, going up to serving tea and pouring water, going down to pinching his shoulders and rubbing his back, and humming while serving him.
Before Bai Zhi left, she deliberately handed the prescription to the soldier to decoct the medicine, and the soldier immediately sent it after decoction.
Liu Ruyan took the medicine bowl, and after the medicine soup was not so hot, she fed it to his mouth spoonful by spoonful.
Halfway through feeding, she suddenly remembered that she was a "scout", how could it be mixed up as a "waiting"?
However, as soon as he finished drinking the medicine, Gong Yiyu began to cry bitterness again and wanted to eat candied fruit.
But where did the barracks come from?
Liu Ruyan didn't have a choice, and ran to the head soldier to ask for a few sweet dates.
After a busy meal, when the North Star first appeared, Bai Zhi stepped on the twilight and brought a bowl of fragrant lily lotus seed soup to Liu Ruyan's hands.
It is the height of summer now, even if the soldiers are practicing, they will not pick the time when the sun is the most poisonous, but Angelica Angelica is looking for honey everywhere in the mountains.
He had a fair complexion, and as a healer, he usually stayed in the tent, but today because of the sun, the part of his clothes that was exposed was strangely red, and a layer of skin was peeled off near the back of his neck.
Liu Ruyan had never seen such a white angelica, and she was very unhappy in her heart, so she immediately soaked a kudzu cloth towel in cold water and put it on the back of his neck for him.
"Just go back and apply some medicine, it's out of the way." Bai Zhi covered the towel with her hand, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and there was no resentment between her words.
After applying it for a while, Bai Zhi went back to apply the medicine, and before leaving, he checked the pulse for Gong Yuyu to let him rest.
As soon as the person left, Gong Yuyu said without yin or yang: "Your relationship with Dr. Gou seems to be excellent." ”
Liu Ruyan asked rhetorically: "Friends in distress, do you think it's okay?" ”
Gong Yiyu disdainfully: "Whoever is a soldier is not a friend in distress, but the interests are current, and who is not climbing up for merit." ”
"Not what you think." She shook her head.
After that, she tested the temperature of the lotus seed soup with her fingertips, it was not hot or cold, and it was suitable for her mouth.
"It's ready to drink." Liu Ruyan helped him sit up, and the spoon gently stirred the bottom of the bowl, the soup was thick and sweet, and a layer of dark red wolfberries floated on it.
She scooped a spoonful of wolfberry lotus seeds, sent them to Gong Yuyu's lips, opened her mouth and said, "Ah-"
Then pour a scoop into his mouth.
Gong Yuyu was poured a mouth full of sweet fragrance, but his face was disgusted: "You don't need to feed me, I'll do it myself." ”
Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and handed over the bowl.
The craftsmanship of this bowl of medicinal food is undoubtedly excellent, and Gong Yuyu drank it in small sips, and the sweet soup soon bottomed out.
After being served for a day, Gong Yuyu's complexion was much better, and his cheeks were slightly ruddy, but he still trembled, raised his fingers angrily, and told Liu Ruyan to be busy.
"Little soldier, go get me a basin of hot water to wash."
"Little soldier, clean my hands."
"Little soldier, go outside and get a night pot."
Also serve the night pot!
Lao Tzu ends you up!!
Liu Ruyan knows a little about Huang Qi's technique, it is not difficult to see that Gong Yuyu has just recovered, and no matter how good her patience is, it is also for her sake of the cause of the cold.
So, she looked at Gong Yuyu and smiled sadly.
"What are you laughing at?" Gong Yu's hair stood on end.
"Take off your pants for you, how can you be complimented if you don't take off your pants?" She smiled and struck him with her hands unwaveringly.
Gong Yuyu immediately went to hide, he grabbed the cloth tightly with one hand, and covered his crotch with the other, his face was full of horror.
"You, don't come...... You don't have to wait for it now! ”
"Is that true?" She pretended to be a pity.
Gong Yuyu nodded like pecking rice.
Liu Ruyan clapped her hands, yes, this kid has finally become honest, see if he still dares to jump on the master's head.
In the early morning of the second day, Gong Yuyu was really cured of a serious illness.
He leaned down in front of the carpentry table in high spirits, cutting wood with his sawtooth.
The heavy bed crossbow had already been half made, and when Liu Ruyan brought back the hot porridge, he saw him sitting in a pile of drawings and writing, and he didn't seem to have the intention of stopping.
"The porridge is cold and can be drunk." She said.
Gong Yuyu finally stopped what he was doing, walked in front of Liu Ruyan, and took the dishes and chopsticks.
Liu Ruyan had nothing to do, paced to the woodworking table, and her eyes swept over the pile of drawings on the table.
Making siege bed crossbows is by no means something that can be completed overnight, and there are seven or eight sketches drawn alone.
She picked up the drawings and flipped through them one by one, but saw that each drawing was very delicately depicted.
As for the structure of the machine, he drew up eight ideas, marked and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the bed crossbow, and finally selected the most sophisticated ballista.
It can be seen that the ingenuity is unique.
Gong Yuyu hurriedly finished the porridge and began to devote himself to carpentry again.
He held up a giant crossbow, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and after a little contemplation in his heart, he marked the dimensions in the drawing.
Liu Ruyan has seen carpenters, and usually they do calculations repeatedly to get the dimensions. But when I saw it today, it only took a moment for Gong Yiyu to think about it and make a decision.
Mental arithmetic?
