Chapter 106 I’m here, nothing will happen to you
The aroma of medicine soon wafted through the cave.
Lin Mo also asked Nanny Qin to boil the few prescriptions of medicine she had left behind, giving each person a bowl as a precaution.
Because of this epidemic, everyone's mood is a little low.
They have experienced many hardships along the way.
Now that there is an epidemic, it is very likely that they will all die here.
The silence seemed to be contagious and soon enveloped the entire cave.
There was no sound of words in the cave, only the crisp sound of burning firewood.
Outside the cave, the north wind was howling.
Time, I don’t know how much time has passed.
Soon, the light in the cave gradually dimmed.
And at this moment.
"My father, my wife, they are sweating and the temperature has dropped." Zhou Peizhi's voice sounded like thunder in the cave.
Those who were awakened also went to touch the foreheads of their sick family members.
Next second.
"It has subsided, and my son's temperature has also subsided."
"My mother is sweating too, and her fever has gone down!"
"Doctor Mu, please come and see if my daughter's fever is also going down. I can't feel it."
…
When they said the patient's fever had subsided, Doctor Mu had already run to the patient closest to him and started taking his pulse.
After checking the pulses of several people, he finally smiled:
"The pulse has stabilized. If you continue taking the medicine, the epidemic will definitely be cured."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene froze instantly.
The medicine that Mrs. Xu took out was barely enough for the sick people, one packet for each person.
If I need to take more medicine, where will it come from?
Doctor Mu didn't notice any of this. He took the pulse of each person who took the medicine.
There is something that Mrs. Xu said that is very true.
The same prescription for the same disease may be effective for you, but may not be effective for others. The prescription needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the individual.
After this round of pulse diagnosis, it was found that the conditions of several people had not improved much.
In their case, how should the prescription be adjusted?
Doctor Mu frowned and muttered to himself as he walked towards his camp.
Then start picking up medicine.
As soon as they saw him picking up the medicine, the people around him immediately gathered around excitedly:
"Doctor Mu, are these the medicines you're going to pick up for my father?"
"Is this medicine for my son?"
…
Facing the excited crowd, Doctor Mu subconsciously shook his head.
"Medicine is limited, and there are several seriously ill patients here. I plan to try a different prescription for them."
When these words were spoken, everyone was excited.
"Doctor Mu, please think carefully. My son is still so young. Can you give him the medicine and cure him?"
"Give it to my mother. She's old and hasn't had much happiness. Give the medicine to her so she can live a few more years so I can fulfill my filial duty."
"My family has produced a lot of medicine. Doctor Mu, you have to consider my wife."
…
Doctor Mu was given a headache by their noise.
There are so many packets of medicine, and if you only take the useful parts, you can only make seven prescriptions.
There were seventy or eighty people who were sick.
It doesn't matter who you choose.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at everyone seriously:
"Don't argue anymore, it's useless.
I will give this medicine to those who are seriously ill first. They may die at any time, so I have to keep them alive first.
For those who have taken medicine and whose symptoms have improved, there is no need to worry about their lives for the time being, so they should just endure it.
Master Wei and the others will definitely find a way to resolve this and won't sit idly by."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked in the direction of Master Wei.
At this moment, Lin Mo and Xu Wuyan were talking to Lao Wei.
This scene shocked everyone.
Soon, joy appeared on everyone's faces.
"That's great. Madam Xu is willing to help."
"If Madam Xu takes action, there will definitely be no problem."
"Mrs. Xu is truly a living Bodhisattva. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have said that about her behind her back."
…
Doctor Mu rolled his eyes.
Yes, I am a living Bodhisattva when I help you.
When she doesn't help, she is called a wicked woman or a shrew.
Some were so annoyed that they asked them to stay aside so as not to disturb him while he was working.
They then picked up the medicine and delivered it to the families of patients in serious condition.
When they arrived at Zhou's house, Doctor Mu handed the medicine to Zhou Peizhi and asked him to decoct it for his father.
"Well, leave me alone." Mr. Zhou was very weak and shook his hand:
“Give it to my daughter-in-law, and cure her first.
The child is young and needs her care. I am old and have lived enough."
After saying that, he began to cough laboriously.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Peizhi's eyes turned red.
His wife also shook her head, "Dad, do you want us to be stabbed in the back?"
After she finished speaking, she started coughing violently due to excitement.
The Zhou family was suddenly in chaos.
Doctor Mu's eyes dimmed and he shook his head, "Brother Zhou, you take the medicine first.
Your daughter-in-law is in a better situation than you and can handle it."
…
And on Lin Mo's side.
"Have you really thought it through?" Old Wei, looking pale, took out a map from his pocket and took a breath.
"They treated you like that before, you could have just ignored them. There's no need to cause trouble for yourselves."
"You're right, but some things have to be done." Lin Mo shook his head:
"If we let this continue unchecked, I'm afraid all of us will end up dead here."
Old Wei glanced at her and asked Xiao Liuzi to help him sit up.
Then spread the map out on the ground.
Pointing to a point on the map, he said, “We are at this location now.
The nearest town to here is Anping Town.
Normally, the round trip by carriage would take two days.
With horses, it might take half a day less, but it still takes a day and a half."
At this point, he shook his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes:
“Now there is snow everywhere outside, and the snow is very deep. You can only ride horses, and the carriage cannot move.
Even if you ride a horse, you will probably go very slowly.
And with all the whiteness around, it's easy to get lost and get into trouble."
Lin Mo didn't say anything and looked at the map carefully.
To be honest, she couldn't understand it.
This was the first time she had looked at a map in her previous and current lives.
Xu Wuyan, who was standing by, seemed to notice her embarrassment and explained the map to her carefully.
Old Wei didn't say anything, just looked at them calmly.
He waited until they were silent, then he spoke:
"If you really want to buy medicinal herbs, take this map with you and return it to me when you come back."
Xu Wuyan nodded, "Okay!"
"But you have to bring the escort with you." Old Wei touched his chest and shook his head:
"If I hadn't been injured, I would have gone with you.
So, this time..."
"I'll go with them." Huang Ming walked over, staring at Lao Wei with malicious eyes:
"Brother Wei, you're injured. Do you mind if I take the spotlight?"
Old Wei narrowed his eyes.
It's obvious that Huang Ming has bad intentions.
I'm afraid he holds a grudge against Lin Mo because Lin Mo beat him up before.
Lin Mo hit him because of him, so Lao Wei naturally sided with Lin Mo.
He shook his head immediately:
"no.
Huang Ming, you are the second in command here, you can't leave here.
Now I am injured and can't move, so I need you to hold them down."
Huang Ming sneered, "What a joke!
Right now, these people are so frightened by the epidemic that they have no mood to cause trouble.
I'm feeling down and I want to go to town to relax. Why not?"
Lao Wei looked at him for a long time before finally nodding:
"Sure. But there are a lot of medicinal herbs to buy. Three people on horseback might not be able to carry them all. We need to find another brother to go with us. Then let Xiao..."
"I'll go." Qian Zhengchang came over and glanced sideways:
"Brother Wei, I'll go. Is that okay with you?"
Old Wei frowned immediately. Why did all the people who went there have grudges against them? Did they want to take advantage of this weather to attack them?
If this is the case, I cannot agree to it.
So, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Xiao Liuzi and shook his head slightly.
"Brother Qian, let me go. I'm young and strong. You've been injured before. What if something happens to you while you're traveling in such a heavy snow?"
Xiao Liuzi saw Lao Wei's gesture and spoke immediately.
"It's okay." Qian Zhengchang looked at Xu Wuyan with cold eyes:
"My injury has healed a long time ago. I'm fine."
"Xiao Liuzi, just let him go. It doesn't matter to us." Xu Wuyan interrupted Xiao Liuzi who wanted to continue speaking and stopped him from saying:
"Master Wei still needs someone to take care of him, and he can't do without you."
Old Wei glanced at Xu Wuyan, then looked away:
"Now that it's settled, pack up and get ready to go.
Xiao Liuzi, let them ride your horse and mine."
"Thank you, Master Wei. Let's go prepare some food first."
After Xu Wuyan expressed his gratitude to Lao Wei, he pulled Lin Mo towards the Xu family camp.
When Liu Ying heard that Lin Mo was going to buy herbs with her, she immediately became anxious:
"Momo, it's too dangerous. Can you please not go with us? Mom is worried."
"Mom, it's okay, don't worry." Lin Mo shook her head.
"How could I not be worried about you, kid?" Liu Ying shook her head violently and reached out to grab her hand tightly.
"If it were normal, with no snow and no strong wind, it would be fine.
But now it's snowing outside, making it difficult to move forward. If you're not careful, something could happen. Listen to me, don't worry about these things, we'll just pay for it."
"Mom!" Lin Mo pulled out his hand and grabbed her instead:
"It's okay, I'll be careful.
And Xu Wuyan will also go, he will protect us.
Besides, I didn’t go there just to buy medicine.”
At this point, Lin Mo lowered his voice:
"I still have things to buy and prepare. I can't not go."
She didn't lie about this.
She did have things to buy and prepare.
Liu Ying frowned and still disagreed.
"Okay, Mom, instead of worrying about this, why don't you go make me some rice balls so we can eat them on the way." Lin Mo interrupted her directly:
"Mom, please make me some rice balls. I want to eat the rice balls you make.
There's also a newly made cloak. Can you bring it to me?"
Only after coaxing her mother away did Lin Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
Turning back to see Xu Wuyan staring at him, Lin Mo shook his head:
"You also want to persuade me not to go?"
Xu Wuyan shook his head, “No.
I'm here and nothing will happen to you.
But before I go, I have something I want to talk to you about privately."
It was rare to see him so serious, Lin Mo was curious.
Take him to a place in front where there is no one and stop.
She looked up at him, "What do you want to say? Go ahead, I'm listening!"
"Madam, I'm afraid this trip..."
