Chapter 23 The Chen Family Finds Trouble
Su Hanchu had been listening to the conversation between the mother and son, and knew that Jun Moye actually wanted to ease the relationship between himself and his mother.
And no matter what, Old Madam Chen is indeed Jun Moye's grandmother.
"Mother, this is just a herbal remedy. I let the Jun family drink it to prevent colds. I can't guarantee that people with colds will get better after drinking it.
Besides, so many people from the Jun family, the Su family, and You Chatou have all taken this medicine, and we didn't have any problems. I hope that others won't have any problems after taking it."
Chen Wenqiao naturally understood what she meant.
"I know. I'll send it over first."
But he took the soup bowl and poured out all the remaining medicine. Anyway, everyone in the Jun family had already drunk it. Su Hanchu didn't say anything, but just added black fungus into the pot.
It was Jun Moye who came over and held her hand.
"Hanchu, thank you."
Su Hanchu thought that it was time to eat and everyone was there, so her face turned red and she spoke a little embarrassedly.
"Why thank you? She's your mother after all. As long as she doesn't deliberately embarrass me, I won't hold a grudge against what happened in the past."
Seeing her blushing, Jun Moye rubbed her palm with his fingertips, then smiled and took the bowl to help her divide the food in the pot.
This night was not as quiet as usual.
Instead, there was a continuous coughing sound.
Su Han didn't ask anyone to cook breakfast on the first day of the new year. Instead, she hurriedly cooked two pots of medicine. Fortunately, she didn't finish cooking the perilla yesterday. Hearing the continuous coughing, she added some more bupleurum.
He sent a pot to the Su family and a portion to You Chatou's side, and of course asked Ping'er to send two bowls to Chuntao's side.
Chen Wenqiao took a bowl and sent it to the Chen family, and Su Hanchu pretended not to see it.
The two sisters Chuntao didn't expect that the two handfuls of grass they didn't know the name of yesterday could be exchanged for several bowls of medicine.
After giving the child the drink, while everyone else was busy packing up, the two of them brought the child to Su Hanchu, asked the child to kowtow hurriedly, and left in a hurry without saying a word.
Afraid of attracting other people's attention and causing trouble for Su Hanchu.
Because some people were sick, the team's progress slowed down significantly.
There were sounds of coughing and sighing all along the way, and some people were crying softly, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.
Suddenly, an old man fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The bailiff stepped forward and scolded him a few times.
"Get up quickly, stop pretending to be dead, and hurry on your way..."
Seeing that the old man didn't move, he swung the whip.
"You still dare to pretend to be dead, do you want to be whipped?"
After two whips, the old man fell to the ground but did not move.
The bailiff turned the man over and tested his breath.
"Youchatou, this man is dead."
Su Hanchu looked at the skinny old man from afar. He was wearing thin clothes and seemed to have been starving for a long time. In addition, he had caught a cold and died.
Jun Moye put his hands up to cover her eyes.
"Don't look."
Yu Cha just glanced at it.
"One steamed bun, two men, come and throw the body into the woods."
Soon someone came out from the crowd of exiles, stripped the old man's clothes off, and carried the body away.
Yu Chatou glanced at the crowd from his horse.
"Hurry up and get going. We can buy some medicine for the cold in the next town. If anyone can't hold on, they'll be left in the wilderness after they die."
The death of one person did not stop the team, and the atmosphere in the crowd became even more depressing.
Su Hanchu kept an eye out for medicines like perilla, cassia twig, and Bidens pilosa for treating colds.
I thought that if I could find a lot of herbs, I would tell Youchatou.
But how could I be so lucky? After paying attention along the way, I only found a bunch of ghost needle grass.
I gave Ping'er and the others some instructions and asked them to look after the samples. When they settled down at night, they could look for perilla and bidens pilosa while collecting firewood.
In the afternoon, another person from another family died and was thrown into the woods. His clothes were also stripped down to his underwear.
Two people had already died from the cold, and the journey was getting colder and more difficult as they went further. When they saw a large cave, several officers discussed the matter.
We settled down in the cave, although we arrived an hour earlier than scheduled. However, if we continued walking, we would probably have to sleep outdoors again. At least there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the cave.
Su Hanchu asked Ping'er to show the ghost thorn grass to Chuntao and her sisters so that they could also look for it. If they found it, they could exchange it for a bowl of medicine.
The two children have felt much better today after drinking the medicine given by Su Hanchu, and they are even following their mother to collect firewood.
Just when Su Hanchu started to boil the herbs, a group of Chen family members came over aggressively.
"Su Hanchu, you're such a vicious bitch! You actually poisoned our Chen family! Ever since we drank your medicine, our Chen family's illness has gotten worse. Come out and give us an explanation, or we will never let you go."
The leader was obviously Chen Fang.
Su Hanchu couldn't help but frown.
Aunt Li pushed her child next to Aunt Qian, said something, and then stood next to Su Hanchu.
"Madam Chen, we in the Jun family drank the medicine that the young lady prepared. We didn't have any bad symptoms. On the contrary, it prevented the cold. You can't slander the young lady out of thin air."
Chen Fang finally had a reason to cause trouble for Su Hanchu, and she was not willing to let Su Hanchu go. Thinking of how badly her daughter had been beaten before, Chen Fang's face was filled with hatred.
"Catch Su Hanchu and beat him up severely to avenge the old lady."
Aunt Li's eyes were filled with anxiety. These days, Su Hanchu had become the backbone of the Jun family. What would happen if he was injured? But now everyone in the Jun family had gone to find food or collect firewood.
He hurriedly stood in front of Su Hanchu.
"Mrs. Chen..."
Su Hanchu pulled her away.
"Aunt Qian, take care of our things and don't worry about me."
As he said that, he picked up a wooden stick and rushed over to stop the people from the Chen family. After all, if a fight broke out, it would be a huge loss if these pots and pans were damaged.
"Mrs. Chen, we both know whether there is any problem with the medicine I cooked. Besides, I didn't send that medicine to your Chen family. If your family wants to use this to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
Chen Siyu was the first to rush over. This time she brought so many people with her. Her cousin and the others had all gone out. She was determined to kill Su Hanchu.
Su Hanchu's eyes turned cold. Not being able to kill was a problem. He dodged Chen Siyu's wooden stick and kicked Chen Siyu on the chin. At the same time, he swung the wooden stick in his hand towards Chen Fangshi's waist...
It is so easy for someone who knows martial arts to deal with a group of people who don't.
There were wailing sounds in the cave.
"ah…………"
"ah…………"
"Let's all start fighting..."
"Are they all a bunch of trash?"
