Chapter 1: Escape from the Famine
"Susu, you woke up, did you feel better, my mother boiled medicine and fed you to drink." A worried face met Huang Shisu's eyes.
Huang Shisu was weak and hungry in the woman's arms, and there were bursts of images in her mind that did not belong to her.
When she sorted out these pictures and memories, Huang Zisu also knew her current situation.
Now her situation is very worrying, and it is the kind of medicine that cannot be stopped.
She herself is a well-known surgeon and master of traditional Chinese medicine in the 21st century, who operated on many people for three days and three nights, and she directly died suddenly on this ancient eleven-year-old girl with the same name and surname.
She was now in a dynasty she had never heard of.
In July of the 10th year of Ruian, there was a drought in Qing'an Province, and locusts were inevitable in the drought, resulting in no harvest in the fields, and the people were struggling to make a living.
And their family was on the way to escape the famine, and they walked for more than a month, and they didn't know where they had gone.
The woman who holds herself and wants to feed herself the medicine is the mother of this body.
"Mother, I...., my daughter's health is much better." Huang Zisu's voice was a little hoarse, comforting Huang Zhao, the mother of this body, don't worry.
"Let me see. Well, if I sweat again, I will prescribe another cowardice antidote and use the correction medicine, and Su Su will be able to get better in less than two days. Huang Yaozi took Huang Shisu from the arms of his third daughter-in-law, Huang Yaozi touched Huang Shisu's forehead, and after giving her the number of pulses, Huang Yaozi happily touched his goate.
Their granddaughter suddenly got a cold, and once had a high fever and fell into a coma, and now they are fleeing from the famine, unable to eat enough, other staple foods, nutrition can not keep up, even if there is medication, Huang Yaozi was still worried and sad before, and his favorite granddaughter could not survive this hurdle.
On the way to escape the famine, he saw many people dying on the way to escape the famine because they were infected with typhoid fever, without treatment and without food.
"Mother, how much surplus food do we have?" Huang Bai, the third son of the Huang family, saw that his daughter woke up and got better, and his hanging heart relaxed.
"Save food, and you can eat for ten days and half a month." Huang Zhang touched the 'rations' on her back, and she sighed.
Huang Shisu was disgusted with the bitter medicine, so she didn't let Zhao feed it spoonful, she directly stuffed the bowl of medicine in one go.
The entrance was bitter and nausea, which once made Huang Shisu vomit out, but after hearing her grandmother say that their family's only remaining surplus food could only be eaten for ten days and half a month, Huang Shisu shook her head and showed a wry smile on her face.
Those rations were not rice noodles, wild vegetables, or anything like that.
And it's all all kinds of medicinal herbs.
These medicinal herbs are still the daily rations that their family has been feeding since they fled the famine.
The Huang family was originally in the previous town, and they had a good life.
Because the old man Huang and the boss of the Huang family are doctors, and the family has opened a pharmacy, the old man of the Huang family has excellent medical skills, and he is famous in the nearby villages and towns.
When fleeing the famine, the family was not diligent, and they couldn't grab other refugees when they saw wild vegetables.
Huang Shisu's father Huang Bai had foresight, when the drought started, after the rice and noodles and other grains grew wildly, Huang Bai saw that this disaster was not able to survive in a short time, and he couldn't buy much rice and noodles to eat at a high price.
He found another way and spent most of the family's money to buy a batch of medicinal herbs.
Such as: Coix seed, lotus seed, yellow essence, rehman, cistanche, raw land, codonopsis, angelica, wolfberry and other medicinal materials that can be used for medicine and food homology, as well as some medicinal materials that can be eaten, but not too bitter and astringent and can fill up.
Not to mention, with this batch of medicinal materials as the foundation, they dragged it until the last batch to flee their hometown.
Moreover, this batch of medicinal materials was given to them to eat on the way to escape the famine, and after a month, the medicine could not be stopped, and the people of their old Huang family survived for more than a month.
People are thin, but they are lean, there are medicinal herbs to fill their stomachs, plus the nourishment of medicinal herbs, their family is ruddy, full of qi and blood, if it is not for the dirty and messy clothes they are wearing, and they are carrying large bags and small bags on their bodies, their family will not be able to see that they are fleeing from the famine, but like traveling.
"Xianggong, how long do we have to go before we can get out of Qing'an Mansion?
If you don't find a foothold, after the 'surplus food' is eaten, it will not be good at that time. Huang Zhao asked at his own head.
"I don't know how long it will take to get out of Qing'an Mansion, and the inquirer said that as long as you walk towards this official road, you will be able to escape from Qing'an Mansion."
"Third child, I see that there is no one else on the official road except our family, will we go the wrong way." Huang Zhang's wrinkled face asked with a worried look.
"This ......, probably not, the dry river I just passed by still has some water flowing, and the bank of the river also sees a sparse emerald green color, which is still different from the barren and dry land we have walked through."
"Grandpa, Dad, have you ever wondered where we are going to flee and settle down?
If it hadn't been decided, I think we would have walked along the river instead of the official road. Huang Zisu nested in her mother's arms, listening to the conversation between her father and her mother and grandma, their family only knew that they had escaped from Qing'an Mansion, there was no purpose, and they didn't want to settle down in that mansion city, Huang Zisu suddenly suggested out loud.
As soon as Huang Zisu's words came out, everyone in the Huang family looked at her in unison.
The female relatives of the Huang family are all married to chickens, and follow the men to escape from the famine, they say that they will go wherever they go, the juniors of the Huang family have not experienced this, they have no knowledge to interject, and they dare not talk nonsense, and the men of the Huang family are a little surprised that the juniors put forward opinions and suggestions.
It was proposed by the second youngest of the younger generation.
"Susu, why do you want our family to walk along the river instead of the official road?" Old Man Huang looked at Huang Zisu for a long time and asked.
Old Man Huang used to think that his little granddaughter was not only smart and clever, but also learned medicine by himself, not to mention the speed, but also drew inferences from one another, and was the best one in medical science, pharmacology, and medical skills among the young characters of their Huang family.
I didn't expect her to be bold and assertive, and when several of them said such a big thing, she didn't hurry to put forward opinions and suggestions.
"Grandpa asked me to speak, and my granddaughter said a few words, hoping to provide some advice to grandpa and daddy." Huang Zisu saw more than a dozen members of the family looking at her, she sat up straight in her mother's arms, and said solemnly.
Huang Shisu fused the memories of the original body, and knew that before the original body, she was a girl who had her own opinions and ideas.
It's not like other peasant girls, who listen to their parents, are submissive, shy and weak, and don't exist at all.
On the contrary, the original body is very thoughtful, and her emotional intelligence is high, if what the elders in the family say is wrong, she will not point out the opposition clearly, but knock on the side to refute, making people realize their mistakes and save the face of the elders.
In the process of escaping from the famine, he expressed his opinion, and the big thing of where to go would not surprise the Huang family.
"You just say it, don't worry if it's wrong, the three stinkers are also a Zhuge Liang." Huang Yaozi motioned to her granddaughter to speak bluntly.
