Chapter 22 Summer Soup
Shen Wan was about to reach out to help, but she saw Wang Qi didn't even look at her, turned around and hurried towards the mother and daughter.
"What a weird guy!" She shook her head.
Regardless of whether it was blamed or not, what she did just now was a way for her to repay Wang Qi for his help.
Shen Wan stretched and then walked towards Xie Mubai.
"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" She handed over the bamboo tube and asked worriedly.
Although he drank summer soup these two days, the villain's body was too weak and he might fall ill if he wasn't careful.
Xie Mubai took the bamboo tube and took a sip, then smiled faintly: "I'm fine, but you have to be more careful."
Although there was no wind, the oilcloth umbrella above my head could at least provide shade.
Besides, he doesn't need to walk and doesn't need to expend energy.
But this ugly girl didn't have such treatment. Even if she didn't need to push the cart, it was already very hard for her to just walk along.
At this time, people in the crowd began to experience symptoms of dizziness and vomiting.
The weather is as stuffy as a big steamer, and these prisoners are all weak and frail. It is not easy for them to hold on until now.
Looking at the prisoners with pale faces, Hu Dahai couldn't help but feel anxious.
He thought about it, then hurried to find Shen Wan: "Sister, the situation is not good, someone else has heatstroke, I'm afraid I have to trouble you."
Chen Wan only has a pair of hands, so it would be troublesome to ask her to treat everyone one by one.
Besides, there are too many patients to be treated, and the secret of the space might be exposed.
"How about this? You take everyone to a cool place to rest." She thought for a moment and said, "I bought some mung beans at the market and put them in the cart. You can ask the officials to make some for everyone to drink."
"I'll go to the mountain to pick some herbs for the sick people."
Hu Dahai's eyes were red with gratitude: "Then thank you very much."
"But it's too tiring for you to collect herbs alone. I'll find a few more people to accompany you."
This job was not originally part of Chen Wan's job, and those people were not related to her at all. Now she had to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Hu Dahai felt a little guilty.
"No need." Shen Wan said with a smile, "It's actually quite troublesome to have so many people go up the mountain. First, we have to prevent them from escaping. Second, they don't recognize the herbs, and I have to distract myself and keep an eye on them."
"It doesn't matter if it's anything else, this medicine could be dangerous if it's wrong."
Hu Dahai had considered this matter, but he was afraid that she would be too tired.
"I'll go with you." Wang Qi came over at some point.
Hu Dahai looked him up and down and asked calmly, "Do you know medicine?"
"I don't understand." Wang Qi said indifferently, "But I can help you get the medicine."
"Don't worry, I won't run away. My sister-in-law and niece are still here."
Even so, Hu Dahai still didn't believe it.
Sister-in-law and niece, the number of hostages seems a little insufficient.
Xie Mubai looked at it and said calmly, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Wang, to take care of my wife."
Seeing him speak, Hu Dahai couldn't refuse anymore.
He vaguely felt that his status in the team was getting lower and lower.
Wang Qi glanced at Xie Mubai, a mocking smile spreading across his handsome face: "I would have done the same thing even without you asking me to do so."
"Although I, Wang Qi, am not a gentleman, I do know how to repay a favor."
Xie Mubai smiled coldly: "Now that the Duke's Mansion has been confiscated, it would be inappropriate for you to call me the Prince."
"If this gets to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid Xie will be in trouble again."
Although the two men were laughing, there was a hint of swordplay in their conversation, as if there was some deep hatred between them.
Wang Qi was too lazy to say anything more. He stared at Xie Mubai, turned around and walked up the mountain.
"I'm going too!" Seeing this, Shen Wan reminded Xie Mubai, "Don't drink the mung bean soup when it's ready. After all, you're still taking medicine!"
"If there's not enough water, go find Brother Hu."
Seeing her nagging like this, Xie Mubai's sinister eyes softened a little.
When the Duke's wife was alive, she also nagged like this all day long, and he felt annoyed at that time.
But if everything could be done over again, he would be willing to pay any price!
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Xie Mubai smiled slightly, his voice a little hoarse.
Hu Dahai also smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'm here, go ahead."
If we don’t go now, Wang Qi will have climbed to the top of the mountain.
Shen Wan smiled awkwardly, then quickly quickened her pace to catch up.
Watching their receding figures, Hu Dahai still felt a little worried: "Do you think that Wang Qi is up to something?"
Among all the fugitives, apart from Xie Mubai, the talented Wang Qillang has the greatest reputation.
If he ran away, he would definitely be blamed by his superiors.
"No." Xie Mubai said calmly, "Wang Qi is aloof by nature and values his reputation the most. He would rather die than become a fugitive."
After hearing this, Hu Dahai finally let go of his worries.
Since Xie Mubai said no, Wang Qi probably won't run away.
Wang Qi naturally wouldn't run away.
At this time, he was standing beside Shen Wan, carefully learning how to identify patchouli.
"Just pick it according to this." Chen Wan bent down and picked a plant and handed it over. "Agastache rugosa likes a warm and humid environment. You can definitely find it in a place like this."
Wang Qi took the herb and examined it carefully for a moment: "How much is appropriate for a four-year-old to take at one time?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan finally understood why he followed her up the mountain.
"I just gave the girl some medicine, so she doesn't need to take it for now." She said with a smile, "Even if she wants to take it, I'll fry it for her."
"Decoction requires time and temperature. You can't just throw it in the pot."
Wang Qi nodded.
He bent down, picked one, handed it over, and asked, "Is this it?"
"That's it." Shen Wan nodded and smiled, "I'm afraid we'll need a lot of herbs this time, so let's split up."
"Be careful on the road, and call me if anything happens."
The last sentence made Wang Qi feel a little uncomfortable.
What does it mean to call her when there is something wrong?
He is a grown man, does he still need a woman's protection?
Although he felt uncomfortable, Wang Qi didn't say anything.
He nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing Wang Qi walking away, Shen Wan hid in the space.
The space is good, and it’s very cool.
While others were sweating profusely outside, Chen Wan was leisurely taking a bath in the bathtub, holding a bottle of drink that had been placed in the refrigerator in her hand. The feeling was simply too great!
It’s a pity that the villain is too suspicious, otherwise he would have brought a bottle with him.
After taking a bath, Shen Wan lay on the bed and rested for a while.
I guessed it was about time, so I went to the warehouse and got a bunch of patchouli.
She thought about it and picked up a watermelon.
Just as I was about to get something else, I suddenly heard Wang Qi's scream from not far away.
