Chapter Forty-Six: The Exiles Have Fled Again
Song Chatou saw that someone took the initiative to help, and he was satisfied, and looked at Bai's eyes a lot kinder, "Go and ask them to find you a pot." β
As he spoke, he lifted his chin toward the yacha.
The yacha also handed the pot to the Bai clan with great eyes, and went to pick up some firewood.
Zuo Xingyan also picked out antipyretic and anti-inflammatory herbs here, and after giving them to Bai, she continued to squat next to Liu.
At this time, Jing Xiaoming also came over, and was wiping the sweat beads on Liu's forehead with his sleeve, and at the same time whispered to Liu, for fear that she would faint.
On the other side, Jing Yi ran back with a water bladder, and saw that Bai was making a pot to boil medicine, so he hurriedly sent the water bladder over.
The firewood was a little damp, and Bai lit it for a while without a fire, so anxious that she was almost the brim of her hat, and her plain little face was black and white because of the soot.
Zuo Xingyan turned his head and saw it, so he had to sigh lightly and get up and go over to help.
After some manipulation by Zuo Xingyan, the fire finally ignited.
Bai Shi stared at Zuo Xingyan with admiration, and subconsciously said the words in his heart: "It's amazing!" β
"It's very simple, you boil the medicine quickly, these herbs are antipyretic, you stir and boil at the same time, so that the herbs don't stick to the bottom of the pot."
Zuo Xingyan told the Bai family, and then didn't care more.
Bai Shi hurriedly nodded, "I remember." β
After more than half an hour of busy work, the medicinal soup was finally given to Liu to drink.
Jing Yi and Jing Xiaoming were patiently guarding beside them, for fear that Liu would have another accident.
And Sun, who was pregnant, sat not far away, and didn't seem to care about Liu.
Bai Shi turned his head and saw Sun's indifferent face, and he didn't blame her, but just sighed that Sun's fate was unlucky.
Sun was originally a young lady from a big official family in the capital, although she was a concubine, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Such a talented and good-looking official lady is more than enough to marry Jing Xiaolin.
But Jing Xiaolin and Liu's eyes were above the top, and they only felt that they were the young masters of Wuwei Houfu, and if they wanted to marry a wife, they had to be concubines.
Jing Xiaolin and the Liu family don't look down on the Sun family's concubine background, but this family affair was set by the Fan family, and the second room can't be the master at all.
So after the Sun family entered the door, Jing Xiaolin and the Liu family never looked down on her.
Jing Xiaolin even brought in two concubines with great fanfare within half a month after the two got married, and then messed with the concubines every day, not to mention the concubines killing their wives, and went to the brothel of the Qinglou every once in a while.
Such a hateful act, at first she was so angry that Sun washed her face with tears all day long, she went to Liu to complain, but Liu said that men are born like this, and Jing Yi still has two concubines.
Liu also blamed Sun for being too small-bellied and not having the bearing of a wife at all.
Not only that, Jing Xiaolin's two concubines coaxed the Liu family with all kinds of sweet words every day, and secretly gave the Sun family small shoes to wear, which made the Sun family's situation more and more difficult.
Over time, the Sun family also understood the faces of Jing Xiaolin and the Liu family, and when they were disheartened, they no longer took them to heart.
So when Jing Xiaolin died and the two concubines died, Sun didn't even shed half a tear, and if she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she would have even laughed out loud.
This is also the reason why the Liu family is in danger, but the Sun family is coldly watching and doing nothing.
Bai sympathized with Sun, but he couldn't help her.
After all, she is also a useless daughter-in-law here in the Liu family.
After drinking the decoction for about a quarter of an hour, Liu's fever gradually subsided, and his face looked much better.
Song Chatou breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, too many people died in the Jing family.
If the Sun family can't be saved, when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, he will see that so many people have died during the exile, and Song Chatou doesn't know how to deal with it.
He got up, stomped on his feet, which were numb from squatting for too long, looked around, and prayed in his heart that these people in the Jing family would live well, but there would be no more deaths and injuries.
"Thank you, sir, for saving your life!"
Jing Yi was overjoyed when he saw that the Liu family was out of danger, and pulled Song Chatou's arm to thank him for a while.
Song Chatou glanced at him coldly, "The person you should thank is not me, it is Zuo Xingyan." If she hadn't taken out the herbs and taught your daughter-in-law to boil the medicine, your mother would have been burned by now. β
He didn't look at the person who should be thanked, but he was here to pull him and thank him.
I really don't know if this Jing Yi is stupid or naΓ―ve, they are all surnamed Jing, why are Jing Zhong and Jing Yi so much different from the two brothers?
Song Chatou couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Jing Yi reacted at this time, turned his head and glanced at Zuo Xingyan, who was nonchalant, gritted his teeth, and walked over.
"Xingyan, thank you for saving your second aunt, our family will remember your kindness."
Jing Yi knew that her lady didn't look down on Zuo Xingyan, and she wanted to help the aunt of the Jing family find trouble with Zuo Xingyan.
When the aunt of the Jing family was troublesome to Zuo Xingyan, although the Liu family did not help the abuse, she also looked at it coldly.
However, Zuo Xingyan didn't mind what the Liu family had done before, and took the initiative to take out herbs to help her, which really made Jing Yi a little embarrassed.
"It's serious, it's just a good deed every day." Zuo Xingyan waved his hand and said lightly.
Her attitude made Jing Yi feel even more ashamed, he looked at Zuo Xingyan, and then at Jing Beihan, who was noncommittal, and thanked him again before turning around and leaving.
At this time, Jing Yi had already made a decision in his heart, and in the future, he would definitely not do anything that would damage Zuo Xingyan.
In the past, Xiaolin's offense to Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan will be compensated by Jing Yi when he arrives in Quanzhou.
After experiencing those things before, Jing Yi's mentality has completely changed.
Now he doesn't want to be rich and rich, he just wants his family to be well.
When he returned to Liu's side, seeing that Jing Xiaoming and Bai were still taking care of Liu, Jing Yi's heart was sour.
"Xiaoming, you two go and rest, I'll take care of your mother." Jing Yi patted Jing Xiaoming's shoulder and whispered.
Jing Xiaoming didn't want to leave at first, for fear that Jing Yi would be tired, but Jing Yi insisted, and he could only take the Bai family back to rest.
Jing Yi took care of Liu for most of the night, and the next morning, Liu finally woke up.
Seeing that the Liu family was fine, Song Chatou led everyone to continue on their way.
After a little further walking, they will probably have to take a boat.
The terrain ahead is low-lying, there is no road to walk, and there is water everywhere you look.
"Later, let's rent two boats." Song Chatou instructed the yacha beside him.
Yacha answered in a low voice, but he was worried in his heart, where to rent a boat at this time.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Song Chatou heard movement behind the team, turned around and looked, only to see that the homeless people who went north yesterday had all come back again.
And looking at their demeanor, they are even more panicked than yesterday.
What's going on? Could it be that there was also a flood in the direction of Kyoto?
Song Cha had sharp eyes, and happened to see the old man who was stopped by him yesterday.
Adhering to the principle of being born once and twice ripe, he simply dragged the old man again.
"Uncle, why are you back again?"
The homeless people were in a mess, and Song Chatou was afraid that the old man would not hear clearly, so he had to ask him at the top of his voice.
