Chapter 409: Infected with Wind Cold
While the men were shoveling snow, Wei Ruo and Xiumei, who stayed in the shed, were not idle.
Because there was a light bamboo forest not far from the road dug by everyone, Wei Ruo and Xiumei cut some back.
The shed was expanded with these bamboos and a bamboo bed was built on the ground, about one meter wide and two meters long, large enough for an adult man to lie down.
It's always more comfortable to put on a blanket than to sit directly on a cold stone.
It's not a big place, just enough to build such a bamboo bed, but at least this way everyone can take turns to lie down and sleep for a while.
On the fourth day, they were still unable to leave, it was still cold, and the snow showed no signs of melting.
Fortunately, Wei Ruo was able to cook food for them every meal, and everyone was not hungry.
And the snow shoveling and digging the road continued, except for the evening and meal time, the people did not stop at all.
It's been four days and they'll have to hurry, and once the food and charcoal are gone, they may be in danger of dying.
Every time Wei Ruo could still take out food for everyone, everyone felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
They really didn't expect that Wei Ruo's carriage would put so much rice and flour on it.
Although Wei Ruo told them that she had to go to the wasteland frequently, the distance was far away, and there was no place to eat, so she brought her own cooking tools and a large amount of food.
But they never thought that the amount of food she was talking about would be so much, and it really saved their lives!
On the fifth day, there was an unexpected situation, and Mr. Tan developed a fever.
Mr. Tan didn't tell everyone at first, not even his four personal guards.
It wasn't until dinner time that he got up to pick up the bowl that Wei Ruo handed him, but as soon as the person stood up, he collapsed.
Fortunately, his servant quickly caught him and put him on the bamboo bed.
At this time, Mr. Tan was already a little dazed, and the four servants suddenly panicked.
"The third and fourth, you two look at Mr., and the second and I are now going to the doctor to find medicine." Ah Da gave instructions to the other three.
"Big brother, the road is closed by heavy snow, where do you go to find the doctor? We've been digging for two days, but we should still be some way from the gate. Ah San asked.
"I'm going to look for it far away, Mr. can't have anything to do!" Ah Da was resolute.
The other three had no better way, so they nodded in agreement.
"Big brother, come back as soon as possible!" Ah San admonished.
"You don't have to worry about me, take care of sir!"
After finishing speaking, Ah Da planned to set off with Ah Er.
Xu Fengyuan, Lu Yuhong and others saw this scene, but they didn't have any better suggestions at this time.
"Wait a minute." Wei Ruo shouted to the two who were about to go out.
"What's the matter with Miss Wei?" The two stopped and looked at Wei Ruo.
"Mr. Tan should have contracted a cold, and I have medicine in the car." Wei Ruodao.
"Miss Wei has medicine?"
The four of them all showed expressions of surprise and joy.
Not only Mr. Tan's four servants, but also Xu Fengyuan and Lu Yuhong were also surprised.
I'm afraid this Wei family's eldest girl's carriage is not a treasure chest, right? How can there be everything!
"Yes." Wei Ruo gave an affirmative answer, and then commanded the four of them, "You guys carry him to my carriage first." ”
In the past few days, the men have never gotten into Wei Ruo's carriage, although it is a special period, and many etiquettes have been put aside, but they still try to keep some distance from Wei Ruo, after all, men and women are not kissed.
At this time, Wei Ruo offered to move Mr. Tan to the carriage, and his four servants were naturally happy, because Wei Ruo's carriage was relatively warm.
"No." Wei Yichen stopped.
As he spoke, Wei Yichen took off the blanket he was wearing and put it on Mr. Tan's body.
"Let Mr. Tan lie on the bamboo bed, if it's still cold, I can give him all my clothes." Wei Yichen said, with a serious expression and a firm attitude.
"Let's carry people up, it's warmer in the car." Wei Ruodao.
"There is a difference between men and women, and now this carriage is where you sleep, and it is no longer an ordinary carriage, and men should not be allowed to enter casually." Wei Yichen was very resolute.
A few days ago, Wei Yichen had been silent, and he had not interfered with any of Wei Ruo's decisions, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his attitude.
What else did Wei Ruo want to say, Xu Fengyuan also seconded Wei Yichen's opinion: "I agree with Brother Wei's opinion, it's better to let Mr. Tan lie on the bamboo bed." ”
As he spoke, Xu Fengyuan also took off the cloak he was wearing.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also gave Mr. Tan the coat they were wearing.
Wei Ruo hurriedly stopped: "Okay, you don't need to cover it anymore, you all cover it, if you don't cover him, you have to crush him." ”
Saying that, Wei Ruo walked to the bamboo bed, took a few cloak blankets from the top and returned them to Wei Yichen, leaving only two blankets, one under the pad and one on the body.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo held Mr. Tan's wrist to check the pulse.
"What are you doing?"
Wei Yichen and Ah Da spoke at the same time.
"When I was in the countryside, I learned some medical skills from an old gentleman, and I took Mr. Tan's pulse to determine if he was really infected with wind and cold, and if so, he could use medicine." Wei Ruo explained.
Hearing Wei Ruo's explanation, Ah Da Ah Er and the four of them were more relieved, proving that the eldest girl of the Wei family did not use medicine casually.
Wei Yichen frowned slightly, it was the first time he knew that his eldest sister would take the pulse.
After a short pulse check, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to go to the car to get the medicine and come back, and he began to boil the water.
In the past two days, Wei Ruo and the water they drank were boiled with snow water, and if it was cold, they put it in a cowhide bag.
When Wei Ruo did this at the beginning, Lu Yuhong and the others had stopped him.
A few of them were distressed by the limited amount of charcoal, saying that a few of them could just stuff the snow into their mouths, and they didn't need to boil it so troublesomely.
But Wei Ruo insisted that everyone must drink boiled water.
Not being able to get fresh water out of the space already made Wei Ruo a little regretful, drinking raw water was absolutely impossible.
After Xiumei boiled the water, Wei Ruo took a bowl, put the pill into the bowl, and then poured in the boiled water to melt the pill.
A bowl of clear water instantly turned into a bowl of dark brown medicinal juice.
It was the first time for everyone to see such a way of concoction, and they couldn't help but feel novel.
"Miss Wei, do you drink this medicine like this?" Ah Da, who got the medicine, was a little hesitant.
"Well, just drink it." Wei Ruo replied, "Don't worry, there is no problem with this medicine." ”
The four servants hesitated for a moment, looked at each other a few times, and then chose to believe Wei Ruo.
Ah Er helped Mr. Tan, and Ah Da carefully gave the medicine to Mr. Tan.
