Famine Escape: Husband, Here's a Ginseng

Gao Zhijun, an all-powerful gold-medal female assassin from the 22nd century, transmigrated one day to become a thirteen-year-old farm girl.

During a year of famine, she fled with her family....

Chapter 21 Water Cutoff

The days passed one by one, the villagers dug herbs as they walked, and processed them at night according to the method taught by Gao Zhijun.

That day, they came to the depths of the mountains. As the road became increasingly difficult to walk on, not only had they run out of wolf meat, but they were almost out of water as well.

These days, Gao Zhijun has made a lot of medicinal powders and pills, most of which are anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and cold medicines.

"Mom, mom, don't scare me!"

A woman's terrified voice came from the front.

"what happen?"

The village head heard the sound and hurried over.

"Uncle Lizheng, my mother has fainted."

Cheng Dahua said to the head of the village while crying.

Cheng Dahahua, Huo Tiedan's wife.

Huo Tiedan, 25 years old this year, is a native of Huojia Village.

He is a fool. He was not born stupid, but became stupid ten years ago because he had a high fever and had no money to treat it.

Huo Tiedan's father died of illness five years ago, leaving only his mother and him to depend on each other.

It was not until three years ago that the village head discussed with the patriarch of the Huo family clan, and the Huo family members pooled their money to buy him a wife, Cheng Dahahua.

A son was born last year and the whole family was very happy.

"Why did you faint?"

The village head looked at the unconscious Cheng Dahua grandmother Wan Zhu and said with a headache.

Although Huo Tiedan and he are not related, they have the same surname and the same clan.

Ever since Huo Tiedan became stupid and his father passed away, his family has been so poor that they can barely make ends meet. If it weren't for the regular help from the villagers, they probably wouldn't have been able to survive.

Gao Zhijun came over quickly and took the patient's pulse, and found that the patient also had heatstroke.

Looking at his lips stretched into stripes, I knew that he had not drunk water for a while, so he suffered from heatstroke due to dehydration and exposure to the sun.

"How long has she not had water?"

Gao Zhijun asked Cheng Dahahua.

After hearing this, Cheng Dahua lowered her head in guilt and said timidly, "I haven't had any water to drink since yesterday."

I heard that he didn’t drink any water yesterday, which means he is severely dehydrated. This time he didn’t faint, I’m afraid he was in shock.

"Why don't you drink water?"

This time, Gao Zhijun raised her voice a lot and spoke angrily.

I wonder if this will cause people to die of thirst?

Gao Zhijun's tone frightened Cheng Dahua, and she trembled all over and said, "Because there is no water."

Gao Zhijun couldn't be more angry. They had no water to drink, so how could they give her water?

"Sister-in-law, go get us two bowls of salt water and some summer-heat tea." After saying that, she turned to the village head and said, "Uncle head, take the men to the front and don't let them turn around."

Before the village head said anything, the men had already left on their own, and the women immediately formed a human wall, surrounding Cheng Dahua's mother-in-law.

Because of the experience from last time, everyone cooperated very well, and Cheng Dahua's mother-in-law just refused to wake up.

Gao Zhijun took her pulse again and found it was weak, probably due to severe dehydration.

If in the previous life, an IV drip could save the patient, Gao Zhijun was not sure here, after all, medical technology was backward.

Gao Zhijun had no choice but to try her best. She performed extracorporeal compression and artificial respiration on Cheng Dahahua's mother-in-law.

When the women of Huojia Village saw Gao Zhijun doing strange movements and pressing on the patient, wasn't she trying to crush the patient to death?

Some women couldn't bear to watch and wanted to stop it, but were stopped by Lu's third aunt.

Although they didn't understand, they believed that their daughter (niece) would not harm anyone and had her reasons for doing so.

Cheng Dahua was also stunned. She wanted to step forward and pull them apart, but was stopped by the village head's wife. She also believed that Gao Yatou would not harm anyone. She must have her reasons for doing this.

Therefore, Third Aunt Lu and the headman's wife were blindly confident in Gao Zhijun.

Fortunately, after a quarter of an hour, Cheng Dahahua's mother-in-law finally woke up.

"Mom, you finally woke up. You scared me to death."

Cheng Dahua said happily when she saw her mother wake up.

"What's wrong with me? Why are they here?"

Cheng Dahua's mother-in-law Wan Zhu looked at the women from Huojia Village who surrounded her with a confused look on her face.

"Sister, you fainted just now and scared us to death."

The headman’s wife explained.

"What? Fainted."

Wan Zhu still didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true.

She hadn't had any water for a day, her lips were chapped, and she was sweating from the sun. She felt dizzy and didn't remember anything after that.

"You went into shock because of severe dehydration and exposure to the sun. You must drink water from now on. It's very dangerous and can cause death from shock in minutes."

"This time we were lucky to be found quickly and rescued, but next time we may not be so lucky."

Gao Zhijun explained to Wanzhu, and at the same time reminded her and the villagers.

I heard it was because of lack of water, but Wan Zhu couldn't say anything because they had no water.

There was only a little water, and she was reluctant to drink it, so she saved it for her grandson, which is why this happened.

"Miss Gao, thank you for saving my life, but I don't have the money to repay you. Otherwise, if you have any heavy work, please let me do it."

Wan Zhu said ashamedly.

Her family was so poor that they could barely afford to eat and had to rely on the villagers for help.

"I don't want you to repay me, just rest in peace."

After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she went to find the village head.

She knew that many villagers had experienced water shortages and this problem had to be resolved.
