Chapter 106 Holding Her
"The person who reported the incident said that he was fine at first, but soon after lunch, he became a little listless. After a cup of tea, he began to feel sick and vomited. Soon his face turned pale and he didn't even have the strength to stand up."
When Qu Zhiwen explained the situation, his forehead was covered with sweat. "These people all had the incident after lunch, so I guessed that there might be something wrong with the food. But the mine was originally afraid of problems caused by unclean food, so they specially prepared four large stoves, using different ingredients and cooking different meals. But this situation happened at the same time, which is really puzzling."
"But fortunately, we originally took turns to eat, and now only half of the people have encountered this situation. The remaining half are fine, so they quickly sent someone to report the news."
"But I remember that the cooks would taste the food before serving it to everyone to make sure it was in good condition. If there was something wrong with the food, how come no one discovered it beforehand?" He Yanxiu asked with a frown.
"This is what's so strange about this matter." Qu Zhiwen said, "I also asked the person who reported the incident, and he said that the cooks had tried the food and found nothing unusual, so they started eating. But they never thought that this would happen after everyone ate the food."
"Such a big thing happened in the mine. I dare not neglect it. I hurried to find Master He so that we can go to the mine together to take a look and see how to deal with it. In addition, I have also ordered someone to find a doctor in the county town. I will send someone over later to carefully investigate the cause."
"Well, let's go now without further delay." He Yanxiu stood up with a gloomy face and told Xing'an beside him, "Prepare the horses."
After a pause, he continued, "Let's prepare a carriage and invite Miss Su to come. Explain the situation to her and ask her to go with me to the mine to take a look."
Su Yujin is an expert doctor. With her around, she must be much better than an ordinary doctor. She will probably be able to find the cause and find a way to treat those people.
"Yes." After receiving the order, Xing'an hurried to prepare the carriage and invite Su Yujin.
Seeing this, Qu Zhiwen moved his lips, but finally swallowed his words.
He had heard from Chen that although Su Yujin was He Yanxiu's concubine and was deeply loved by He Yanxiu, she was not spoiled by him. Instead, she was dignified and generous, gentle in nature, knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was very easy to get along with.
But now that He Yanxiu was going to the mine on official business, he wanted to take Su Yujin with him? Was it because Su Yujin could help, or was it just because He Yanxiu rarely had a day off and didn't want to be separated from Su Yujin?
But after these few days of contact, Qu Zhiwen also felt that He Yanxiu was a serious and sensible person, and did not seem like someone who was blinded by lust and could not make sense.
Could it be that Su Yujin is proficient in medicine? Qu Zhiwen scratched his head.
Because the situation was urgent, everything was prepared extremely quickly.
Su Yujin also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so she packed up her medicine box, took Ai Cao and got on the carriage, and went out of the city gate with He Yanxiu, heading west.
The horses were galloping and the carriage was moving very fast.
Although the official road is slightly smoother than ordinary paths, it is still somewhat rugged due to years of pedestrians and vehicles passing through it. The carriages travel very fast, so the road is very bumpy.
Su Yujin and Ai Cao were in the carriage, being jostled around so hard that their heads hit the roof of the carriage from time to time.
"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the mountain. Miss, you have to check my injuries first."
As Ai Cao was speaking, there was another click, and his whole body bounced up, with his butt even leaving the cushion.
"Just bear with it for now." Su Yujin held the armrest tightly and said, "Who knows, this is the most comfortable time."
Is this the most comfortable moment? My internal organs are about to be shaken out, but this is still the most comfortable moment. Wouldn't it be even more terrible in the future? Before Ai Cao could come to his senses, the carriage became more and more bumpy, and it almost felt like it was about to fall apart.
This went on for about a cup of tea, and then the driver let out a "whoosh" and the carriage slowly stopped.
"We're finally here." Ai Cao rubbed his butt which was almost broken into pieces, and patted his chest, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.
"I'm afraid it's not..."
Su Yujin lifted the curtain and frowned as she looked at the mountains in the distance and the narrow paths beneath her feet. "The road ahead is narrow and the carriage can't pass. We have to get off."
"Do we want to go over there?" Ai Cao looked at the rugged mountain road and suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known this earlier, I would have changed into a pair of older shoes when I came.
"If we walk over there, it would be a waste of time." He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows, bowed and extended his hand to Su Yujin.
He Yanxiu wants to ride a horse to give her a ride?
In both of his past lives, Su Yujin had never ridden a horse, and was even a little afraid of this means of transportation.
But the situation was urgent and she couldn't afford to be pretentious.
Su Yujin gritted her teeth and put her hand in He Yanxiu's.
When He Yanxiu touched Su Yujin's green fingers, his movements froze for a moment, but after a moment he firmly grasped Su Yujin's hands, lifted Su Yujin up, put her on the horse's back, and sat her in front of him.
In this way, when He Yanxiu pulled the reins again, he would need to completely wrap his two arms around Su Yujin.
It was like hugging her from behind.
The petite person in his arms sat upright, the faint scent of powder on her body and the subtle scent of medicine on her clothes lingered in his nose, especially the thick hair with the scent of osmanthus oil that rubbed his cheek from time to time...
He Yanxiu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, squeezed the horse's belly under his crotch, and shouted, "Gee!"
The horse neighed and raised its hooves to move forward.
Qu Zhiwen, Xing'an who was carrying mugwort, and others hurriedly followed.
This horse was the one He Yanxiu used to ride after he arrived here. It often went to the mine, and the horse was very familiar with the road here, so He Yanxiu didn't need to worry about it and just walked along the road.
The further we went, the more rugged the mountain road became, and the more difficult it became for the horses to walk.
Su Yujin felt the horse's back was getting more and more bumpy. His body, which had been sitting straight, was swaying back and forth due to the horse's movement. This made Su Yujin frown, and he had to hold on tightly to the front edge of the saddle to prevent himself from slipping off the horse's back.
But because I was too nervous, my stretched body felt even more tired.
He Yanxiu noticed Su Yujin's worry and tightened his arms around Su Yujin slightly.
"Second Master." Su Yujin spoke hesitantly.
"Hmm?" He Yanxiu slightly turned his body.
"Second Master, I think you hit me with something."
He Yanxiu, "..."
