Chapter 18: The Battlefield

Shu Yan anxiously called Yu'an's name.

"Yu'an, wake up, don't scare grandma."

Yu An opened his eyes and began to vomit directly, he covered his stomach and said with difficulty: "Grandma, my stomach hurts." ”

Shu Yan's heart was shocked when he heard this.

Diarrhea, is it malaria, or cholera......

Cheng San opened his eyes, and he spoke: "I'm afraid he is infected with the plague, I went out to find some herbs, but I don't know if it's useful." ”

Cheng San sat up, lit the fire first, then picked up his weapon and went out.

Qixiu took the pot outside to get some water and prepared to boil it.

Qixiu said to Shu Yan: "There is sulfur outside, I heard the nurse say that wiping the body with sulfur water can cure the disease." ”

Sulfur can kill bacteria, but it can't kill viruses.

Yu'an's stomach hurt so much that Shu Yan had to take him to the toilet.

After going back and forth several times, Shu Yan was afraid that the child would be dehydrated, so he hurriedly boiled salt water for him to drink.

In this environment, only personal immunity can be relied upon.

Xiao Yu'er was not idle, she took out all her belongings and hung them on the branches to dry.

Qixiu went outside and took a knife to deal with the huge sow.

The meat on the sow's body is enough for them to eat for a long time.

It is also a very good food for them who lack protein intake.

Near noon, Cheng San came back with a lot of herbs, and he said to Shu Yan: "These herbs are a place to clear heat and detoxify, I don't know if they are useful." ”

Yu'an no longer has diarrhea, but his spirit is very bad, and he can't eat anything.

Shu Yan had no choice but to fry the herbs and give them to Yu'an to drink.

Yu'an fell asleep after drinking.

Shu Yan looked at Yu An's little face, and only felt sad in his heart.

"You fight hard, we've all walked so far, and it's a pity to die halfway through."

Yu An let out an undetectable voice, which was considered to be a promise.

Shu Yan put the child on the bed and walked out of the cave by himself.

The little fish was drying the quilt, the donkey was grazing, and Qixiu was nowhere to be found, Shu Yan asked Cheng San.

"Where's the kid Qixiu?"

Cheng San opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to take a bath." ”

Shu Yan smiled: "The girl must love cleanliness, we also have to pay attention to hygiene, there are so many sulfur mines here, if there is lard, you can also make some sulfur soap." ”

Cheng San smiled.

"Godmother is really well-informed, we estimate that we will stay here for a few more days, I just looked forward, the road out of the mountain collapsed, and many people were killed, fortunately we didn't follow the army last night."

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly.

"It's really not easy to escape, if you can really find a pure land, let me farm, when will this day be the end."

Cheng Sandao: "Godmother, don't be discouraged, there will definitely be more difficulties than methods in the future, throughout the ages, most people have lived like this, and you have a son like me, what are you afraid of?" ”

Speaking of which, the days of peace and prosperity are only a short time, and the rest of the time is all kinds of turmoil.

Shu Yan couldn't help sighing, and sighed in his heart, why didn't he have any golden fingers.

Shu Yan looked at Cheng San, could it be that his golden finger was this flamboyant guy?

Just when Shu Yan sighed, Qixiu's scream suddenly came not far away.

Cheng San hurriedly ran towards that place, Shu Yan's old arms and legs naturally couldn't run away from him.

When they arrived, they saw many bodies floating in the water.

Presumably those who were swept away by the mudslide last night, they didn't expect to die in this bend of the spring.

Qixiu took off some clothes and shoes from a body.

She rummaged around and found something useful.

When Cheng San saw this scene, he didn't say much, and he also took things from those dead people.

A few people returned to the cave, Xiao Yu'er was lying in front of Yu'an, and she said, "I feel that he seems to be a little better, is it that Cheng San's herbs work?" Shu Yan hurriedly put down his things and touched Yu'an's head.

The kid did have a fever.

Shu Yan couldn't help but look at Cheng San and praised: "You are really a miracle doctor, do you still remember what herbs you have picked?" ”

Cheng San: "I can't remember, how can there be any medicine to get rid of the disease, that is, this child has a big life, and you are blessed to be a godmother." ”

Yu'an's situation was a little better, and the big stone in Shu Yan's heart finally landed.

They got a lot of food and a few sets of clothes.

Xiao Yu'er and Qixiu found another clean water source and washed their clothes.

Cheng San took an axe and chopped some wooden sticks of about the same thickness, and fixed the wooden sticks with some torn clothes, and made a shelf on the donkey's back.

In this way, you can carry Yu'an on your back.

They rested in the cave for another day before they set out.

It was a sunny day, and Yu'an's spirit was much better, at least he didn't vomit anymore.

The group bypassed that section of the mountain road, walked from the mountain for two or three days, and then walked out of the mountain.

Saw the plains as far as the eye could see.

However, there was no smoke curling on the plains, only large expanses of abandoned farmland, the corpses of soldiers who had long since decayed.

There was a big battle here a few days ago, and the Han army and the imperial army fought several battles here, and then the Beijing division was in a hurry, and the Han army withdrew.

There were crows eating human flesh everywhere, and Shu Yan and a few people were walking on the road.

The sun overhead was scorching the earth, and Yu An's little head couldn't stand up straight, and Shu Yan was a little worried.

But at this moment, I can only pray to God to bless this poor child.

The houses in the village were demolished along the way, and the imperial court should have carried out a fortified clearing of the wilderness, so they could not pick up anything useful.

I had to go to the big city ahead.

Everyone along the way didn't say anything, but they were full of tiredness.

finally got to the dark and still didn't see the shadow of the city, but there were a lot of fellow travelers who fled along the way.

There are hundreds of people in total. All hungry and dusty.

Shu Yan and the others found a place far away from the large army and settled down.

After walking this way, Qixiu's complexion has improved a lot, and the wound on her face has improved a lot.

Shu Yan said to Qixiu: "When you get to the city, find a doctor and give you a good look, all of them are like being sick." ”

Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "Grandma, Xiao Yu'er is not sick, I am fine, and when I get to the city, I will work for Grandma." ”

Shu Yan stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Yu'er's head.

"You're a child, and children don't need to work."

Xiao Yu'er didn't care.

"I'm a child, I'm a woman, and women have to work."

This kid is really industrious and simple.

"It's good for children to be happy, it's best not to get any diseases, and grow up peacefully."
