Chapter 21 Heatstroke

"What's so strange about this?" Shen Wan sneered and said, "Lime powder has a disinfectant effect. My husband has a leg injury and I'm afraid it will get infected, so I got some to disinfect his daily necessities."

"But you didn't put that whole bag of lime powder on your back, did you?"

It was what Sun deserved. It was her fault for being so greedy.

If she didn't feel pain after applying a large bag of lime powder all over her, it would be great that her back didn't get burned into a roasted suckling pig.

"Nonsense, who has ever heard that lime powder can kill viruses?" Sun smiled contemptuously.

Although the convicts did not know medicine, they did not believe that lime powder could have such an effect.

Isn't that kind of thing only used when building a house?

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's impossible!" Wang Qi leaned against an old tree, a lazy smile on his handsome face. "How ridiculous! The Sun family has always prided itself on being a family of scholars, but I never thought our daughter would be such a foolish woman who doesn't even know such a simple thing."

Upon hearing this, Sun was so angry that her lungs almost exploded, but she was speechless.

Wang Qi is a famous talent in the capital. In terms of talent and learning, he can indeed look down on anyone.

Although the exiles did not believe Chen Wan, they still believed what Wang Qi said.

Not to mention that lime can kill viruses, even if he said that lime can bring the dead back to life, no one would have any doubt.

Seeing Wang Qi speak, Xie Mubai couldn't help but take another look.

This strange man seemed to be particularly concerned about the ugly woman and actually helped her twice in a row.

If he was not sure that this person was misogynistic, he would have suspected that Wang Qi had taken a fancy to that girl.

"How shameless!" Hu Dahai spat viciously at Sun and cursed, "First you stole something, and then you slandered my sister for hiding poison and harming people. What a vicious woman!"

As he spoke, he looked at the other officers and said, "From today on, no one is allowed to sell food to them."

"Also, if any of the other prisoners' clothes get dirty, let them wash them from now on!"

"If you dare not obey, I will chop off her hands!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Mrs. Sun, but even Aunt Zhou and the others were so frightened that their faces changed.

It’s okay to let them chew those black and hard steamed buns, but how can they be asked to wash clothes?

They are ladies from noble families who have never done housework. How could they have ever done such rough work?

But the scene of Hu Dahai ordering people to pick the tendons of his feet is still vivid in my mind, so now it’s just washing some clothes, which is considered a great mercy.

The matter was resolved, everyone dispersed, and Shen Wan returned to the cart and lay down.

Xie Mubai was staring at her and asked calmly, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"If they don't have any bad intentions, I won't have the chance to do anything!" Shen Wan didn't deny it and smiled, "Why, are you heartbroken?"

Xie Mubai raised his sword-like eyebrows and sneered: "Do you think I am that kind of person?"

He is not, never was.

Being kind to evil people is being cruel to oneself, even if those people are his relatives.

"Of course you're not." Shen Wan smiled mischievously, "But am I very smart?"

"Honestly, are you impressed by my intelligence and talent? Have you ever considered giving me a title of general or something like that?"

The big villain will become the prime minister in the future, with great power over the government. It would be nice if I could get a job under him in the future.

In a word, she absolutely did not want to live a miserable life like the original owner. It would be even better if she could teach her scumbag father and sister a lesson at the same time.

Seeing that this ugly woman started to be narcissistic again, Xie Mubai turned over and ignored her.

“This guy is so boring.” Shen Wan muttered secretly in her heart, “No wonder the Shen sisters look down on him.”

She felt really bored and fell asleep.

Xie Mubai didn't sleep.

He just lay on his side, his black eyes flashing a cold light in the dark night.

The ugly woman did buy a lot of things at the market, but he was very sure that there was no lime powder among them.

It was such a big bag of lime powder that he couldn't smell anything on the road, but the smell was clearly only present after she got on the car.

Obviously, she saw through the tricks of Sun and others and prepared it for them on the spur of the moment.

How many unknown secrets are hidden in her?

Thinking of this, Xie Mubai turned around and looked coldly at the little woman who was sleeping so soundly in front of him...

As soon as the sky was getting light, the prisoners ate something and set off.

It is extremely hot today. There is not a cloud in the sky and not a breath of wind.

The sun cast its scorching rays upon the world, and the earth was scorched so much that wisps of white smoke rose up.

People would sweat profusely at the slightest movement.

Compared with today, the prisoners realized that the heat of the past few days was just a drizzle.

Shen Wan felt embarrassed to let the officer push the cart alone, so she took over.

Before he had taken a few steps, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

It would be strange if I didn’t get heatstroke in this horrible weather.

Just as I was daydreaming, someone fell down in front of me.

"Big girl, wake up quickly, don't scare your mother..." A woman knelt on the ground, crying and hugging the little girl in her arms.

Shen Wan stretched her neck to take a look and found that it was Wang Qi’s sister-in-law!

Without even thinking, she pushed the cart and hurried over.

As soon as he saw her, Wang Qi's eyes lit up and he grabbed her arm and dragged her forward.

"Wait for me to put the car down first!" Shen Wan said quickly in fear.

What if the villain is injured? Can he afford to pay for it?

After hearing this, Wang Qi reluctantly let go.

Shen Wan put the car down and hurried to the little girl.

She was pale and her limbs were cold and clammy, typical symptoms of heatstroke and dehydration.

Shen Wan carried the little girl to a big tree by the roadside, soaked a towel in the roadside ditch, and placed it on her forehead.

I have collected some patchouli, but the situation is urgent now and it may be too late to decoct the medicine.

"Take your sister-in-law and leave for a while." Shen Wan looked up at Wang Qi, "The child needs ventilation. There can't be too many people around him. Besides, I don't like to be disturbed when I'm treating a patient."

The woman wanted to stay, but was dragged away by Wang Qi.

While they were away, Shen Wan quickly fed the little girl some Huoxiang Zhengqi water and some rehydration salts.

After a long while, the little girl slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw her mother was not around, she pouted and burst into tears.

Hearing the crying, the woman rushed over crying.

"Big girl, you scared me to death!" She hugged the child and burst into tears. "If anything happens to you, how can I face your father in the underworld?"

It turned out that she was a widow.

Shen Wan couldn’t help but feel sympathy after hearing this.

That damn emperor and his son were really evil. In order to get rid of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was so powerful that he threatened the emperor, they even implicated so many innocent people.

The girl blinked her big watery eyes and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I'm fine, really."

After making sure the child was fine, Wang Qi tidied his clothes and bowed respectfully to Chen Wan.
