Lin Rui, who had returned to his hometown to live a laid-back "salted fish" life, transmigrated. He found himself in a chaotic era of warring lords, foreign invasions, a weak emperor, and d...
Lin Zicheng was right. The young generation had been raised in a free-range environment and rarely suffered from headaches or fevers, so how could they know how to do scraping?
Finally, Lin Ziming came over and patted Lin Zicheng on the shoulder: "Let me do it, I know how to do it."
Gua Sha is actually very simple. All you need is a porcelain bowl and some sesame oil or lard. Apply the oil to the back of the skull, and then scrape the mouth of the porcelain bowl downwards from the back of the neck or shoulder blades. If you have heatstroke, a little scraping will cause purple-red sha to appear on your back.
Lin Ziming's technique was very skillful, and it was obvious that he had done this kind of thing many times. Each move was very fast. Shuanzi groaned in pain, and Lin Rui patted him: "Bear with it."
The others barely found a shady spot with dappled sunlight to rest. They were frightened and panicked when they saw the corpses before, but now they were much calmer. After all, there were corpses everywhere from the mountainside, and there was another dried corpse less than 200 meters away from where they rested. Where could they run to in a forest full of corpses?
If you can't resist, then accept reality.
Lin Ziming felt that he didn't use much force, but Shuanzi's back was covered with dark purple sha, which showed that he had suffered from heatstroke.
Feeling that it was almost time, Lin Rui asked Lin Ziming to stop and helped Shuanzi up: "Shuanzi, how do you feel?"
Shuanzi nodded: "I still feel a little dizzy, but much better than before." He didn't feel the same as before, he was so dizzy that he couldn't stand and felt like the world was spinning.
Lin Rui whispered a few words to Sanliang, and soon Sanliang came over with a bamboo tube and a meatball in his hand and handed them to Shuanzi.
Shuanzi sniffed the medicinal-smelling pill and looked at Lin Rui in surprise: "Chief, what is this?"
"Eat the summer heat pills quickly. The sooner you take them, the better."
Shuanzi was deeply moved. He didn't expect that the patriarch would give him such precious medicine. This kind of finished medicine was very expensive in the pharmacy. In the past, his parents had to endure their illnesses and had never taken such pills.
Now it's his turn, and the patriarch is so generous!
Lin Ziming was also jealous, rubbing his hands, a little embarrassed: "Chief, can I..."
Lin Rui nodded before he finished speaking: "Don't worry, we have them all."
The summer-relief pills were bought from a pharmacy in limited quantity, but the Huoxiang Zhengqi water in the house was in a constant state of replication and regeneration.
When Lin Zijun, Lin Zizheng, Lin Ziren, Yu Lanhua and others were leaning against a tree to rest, they saw Sanliang holding a small box and taking out small bottles from it and handing them to everyone.
Soon it was their turn. Everyone got one and they were a little confused holding the bottle, not knowing what it was for.
Subconsciously, he looked for Lin Rui in the crowd: "Chief, what is this?"
Lin Rui kept five boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in his house, each containing eight tubes. Five boxes totaled forty tubes, more than enough for everyone. This was a necessary investment to ensure everyone could go further in the future. If everyone developed a thrombosis, the team's combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Lin Rui explained loudly, "This is summer cooling water. Shuanzi's condition has reminded us that it's very easy to get heatstroke when traveling under the scorching sun. This summer cooling water is my treasured possession that I bought from the Longting County Pharmacy. Everyone, drink it quickly to prevent heatstroke."
To prevent everyone from being reluctant to drink it and hoarding it, Lin Rui said again: "Drink it all, three taels, and then bring back every empty bottle later. Bring back as many empty bottles as you gave out."
"Okay, master!" Sanliang always carries out Lin Rui's orders without any compromise. Everyone knows that Sanliang is very strong. If you confront him or try to cheat in front of him, he will ignore your little tricks and use force directly.
"Hey, how do I open this medicine?"
"Yeah, there's no stopper. Hey, what material is this made of? How can you see the medicine juice if it's not glass?"
Lin Rui knew that every time he took out a modern thing, there would be some twists and turns, so he finally demonstrated it himself. He used the scissors at home to cut off the seal of the small plastic wrap, and then drank the Huoxiang Zhengqi water inside. Suddenly, a burst of alcohol and the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine rushed to his head, and inspiration came to him.
"See? Just drink it like this!" After saying this, he held the plastic packaging in his hand. These plastics must be recycled to prevent them from being picked up and used by people with ulterior motives and causing problems.
Feng Zhenniang held onto the Huoxiang Zhengqi water, reluctant to drink it. "Rui'er, why aren't Niuniu and Qingqing here?"
Yu Lanhua and Zhang Dacui also spoke up: "Yes, Dunzi and Douzi are also gone."
"Xiangxiang and Xiaozhan didn't get any either!"
Lin Rui explained: "The potion is mixed with alcohol. It is not suitable for children to drink. Only children as big as a log can drink it."
"There's wine? Why didn't I taste it?" Lin Changtai was a man who liked to have a drink or two. After drinking the potion, he smacked his lips to savor the taste.
I don’t know if it was a psychological reason, but after drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi water, everyone felt that the heat was gone and they all felt much more energetic, as if the water really worked.
"This bottle is so beautiful. Can you leave it as a souvenir for your aunt, Rui... Chief?" Yu Lanhua was reluctant to part with such a delicate little thing.
Lin Rui didn't indulge the aunts' little tricks: "No, three taels, go and collect them all, including the seals and the bottle bodies. Collect them all."
Yu Lanhua could only awkwardly hand the bottle to Sanliang's outstretched hand, and the others followed suit.
"Chief, we don't know how to repay your kindness!" Lin Pingmao said. He had seen Lin Rui's behavior along the way. To be honest, even he might not be able to achieve Lin Rui's level.
Now Lin Rui is the patriarch who truly deserves the title. Everyone follows his lead. He truly regards the three families who have fled famine as his own clan members and takes good care of them along the way.
Lin Rui had no idea how high his profile was in the eyes of the village chief. His vision was simple: mutual benefit. It was always better for the same clansmen in the village to stick together than to form a group with strangers, who might be attacked from all sides.
Lin Changfa and Lin Changhe looked at their nephew proudly. He was now the patriarch of the Lin family. "Patriarch, you can give us orders from now on. You gave us our lives. In life, we are yours. In death, we are yours!"
Lin Rui also laughed: "Uncle, Third Uncle, what are you talking about? We must live well and live to the point where we can put down roots in Huangmo Pass. I, Lin Rui, am putting my words here today. Unless God does not allow us to live, as long as there is a chance to breathe, I will definitely make our Lin family become the richest and most powerful!"
Everyone's expression changed, and their gray faces immediately lit up with excitement. To be a superior person, to be rich! These were what the peasants who had worked in the fields all their lives dreamed of, and now the patriarch was making such a vow with them today.
Lin Rui's ability is obvious to everyone. All the rare and precious items along the way came from him. His business was already booming before Linjing was captured. If he said he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it!
