Chapter 111 The Weasel Greets the Chicken
"Doctor Mu, what happened to my mother? How is she?"
As soon as Doctor Mu let go of his hand that was taking Liu Ying's pulse, Lin Shuo immediately leaned over nervously and asked.
"Your mother has contracted the plague." Doctor Mu frowned.
He hesitated a little, wondering whether to speak directly.
Mrs. Lin's condition is a bit delicate. The disease came on suddenly and she fainted from fever before she showed any symptoms. I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.
"What?"
Lin Shuo widened his eyes and trembled in his voice:
"My mother took preventative medicine and didn't have much contact with them, so how could she still get the epidemic?"
His sister was worried that their mother would be infected, so she quarantined them early.
Doctor Mu shook his head:
“It doesn’t mean that if you take medicine to prevent it, it won’t happen.
Your mother, Madam Lin, is weak, so she is naturally more vulnerable than you."
Lin Shuo glanced anxiously at Liu Ying, whose face was flushed red, and asked anxiously:
"Doctor Mu, what should we do now? Is there any medicine left for my mother?"
At this time, Xu Xianyu brought a basin of hot water, wet his handkerchief with the water, and helped Liu Ying wipe her forehead to cool down.
Doctor Mu smiled bitterly, "Where can I get the medicine now?
We can only wait for your sister and the others to come back before we can get medicine."
Lin Shuo was anxious.
Anxious, he paced back and forth in the tent:
"I've asked Master Wei, and my sister and brother-in-law won't be back until tonight at the earliest.
There is still such a long time left. If there is no medicine, will something happen to my mother?
Also, if they are delayed during this time and come back even later, what will happen then?"
Doctor Mu knew he couldn't hide it any longer, and his face instantly became serious.
"Lin Shuo, you have to be mentally prepared.
Judging from your mother's condition, I'm afraid her illness is more complicated than others, so you must use the medicine as soon as possible. Delaying it for too long will be bad for your mother."
…
At this moment, Xu Xianyu asked Xu Mengxian to come over and help Liu Ying wipe her forehead to cool down, while she hurried out of the tent.
She remembered that the medicine was taken from the carriage by her sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law always keeps some things in reserve, so she wanted to see if she had left any medicine in the carriage.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed.
She searched the carriage thoroughly but found nothing but some healing medicine.
Xu Xianyu could only get off the carriage in disappointment.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Shen Liuli wandering outside their tent, and Xu Xianyu instantly became alert.
This girl from the Shen family may not look very old, but her heart and mind are even crueler than those of adults.
Doesn't she want to cause trouble at this time?
Thinking of this, Xu Xianyu walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and stopped Shen Liuli directly:
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Liuli glanced at her, then lowered her head:
"I'm looking for Lin Shuo."
Xu Xianyu shook his head, his face stern. "Go away. Lin Shuo is not in the mood to see you right now."
Aunt Ying is so sick now that Lin Shuo is in no mood to care about anyone or anything related to the epidemic.
“I have what he needs.” Shen Liuli raised her head.
Seeing Xu Xianyu staring at him with eyes wide open, Shen Liuli didn't keep it a secret any longer:
"medicine."
Xu Xianyu looked at her hand and sure enough, she was holding a packet of medicine.
Without saying a word, she lifted the curtain and walked in with Shen Liuli.
"Lin Shuo, she has medicine."
medicine!
Lin Shuo, who was worrying about medicine, suddenly looked up.
The next second he rushed in front of Shen Liuli, his tone hurried:
"Medicine, where's the medicine?"
“Here!” Shen Liuli held up the medicine and handed it to Lin Shuo.
"Doctor Mu!"
As soon as Lin Shuo took the medicine, he immediately went to find Doctor Mu excitedly.
After taking the medicine, Doctor Mu quickly opened it and checked it.
"Yes, it's the medicine your mother prescribed before."
Xu Xianyu on the side looked at Shen Liuli with doubt in his eyes:
"How did you get my sister-in-law's medicine?"
Shen Liuli glanced at her with a distant look in her eyes:
"I sent this medicine to my brother before, but he didn't use it. He just had a common cold. He felt dizzy and recovered after sleeping, so I didn't make this medicine.
I brought it out because I heard Madam Lin had contracted an epidemic and needed medicine."
"Thank you!" Lin Shuo thanked her excitedly.
Then he looked at Doctor Mu:
"Doctor Mu, can I use this to make medicine for my mother now?"
Doctor Mu considered it for a moment and shook his head:
"Your mother's condition is quite complicated. I'm afraid this prescription won't work. I'll have to add some more medicine. I'll go back and see if there's any medicine."
After saying that, he hurried outside.
After Lin Shuo asked Xu Mengxian to continue taking care of his mother, he hurried out with the medicine.
Shen Liuli also walked out with her head down.
When she opened the curtain and walked out, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Xu Xianyu frowned.
She always felt that this Shen Liuli had bad intentions, but there was nothing wrong with the medicine.
For a moment, she was not sure what the other party was up to.
Don’t be like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken, as it has ulterior motives.
Xu Xianyu made the decision.
After the medicine is boiled, she will drink a sip first to make sure it is okay before feeding it to Aunt Ying.
On Doctor Mu's side, after some searching, he finally found two of the three herbs he wanted to add, the last one being ephedra.
Doctor Mu was not worried about the lack of ephedra.
There is a lot of ephedra, and according to his understanding of its growth characteristics, this area is suitable for its growth.
Go out and look for it, you will definitely find it.
He told this to Lin Shuo. After Lin Shuo asked about the appearance of ephedra, he immediately rushed out to find herbs.
But he was stopped by Doctor Mu:
"You're just a kid, who would let you go out? Go find Xu Ping'an and the others and ask them to go look for it. By the way, I'll draw a picture for them to identify."
Lin Shuo immediately nodded and rushed back to find Xu Ping'an and the others.
After asking around, I found out that they had taken people out to look for firewood.
Lin Shuo was a little disappointed. Why was he not here at this moment?
He turned around and went back to find Doctor Mu.
Doctor Mu had just finished drawing the map. When he heard that Lin Shuo wanted to go out and find ephedra himself, his face immediately became long.
"No! It's snowing and windy outside now. If you, a child, go out, it's easy for something to happen. I will never allow you to go out."
"Doctor Mu, but...but my mother is seriously ill." Lin Shuo's eyes were red.
"I can't watch anything happen to my mother."
Doctor Mu's face was moved. He glanced in the direction of the tent and gritted his teeth.
"I'm going out to look for you, stay here!"
Lin Shuo is just a child, how can I watch him go out to find medicine?
"No!" Lin Shuo was horrified and shook his head quickly:
"Doctor Mu, everyone here depends on you. You can't take any risks."
"Yes, Doctor Mu, you can't take the risk." Zhou Peizhi walked over and shook his head disapprovingly.
Liu Dongyang, who came along, also nodded in agreement:
"Doctor Mu, if you can tell us what Ephedra looks like and where it lives, we can go find it. I think you'll be relieved."
"You..." Lin Shuo said with gratitude:
"Thank you!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply to them seriously.
"You don't have to be so polite to us," Liu Dongyang patted his shoulder.
“Your sister has taken out the medicine and even took the risk to buy it.
Compared to this, what we do is nothing.”
"Yes, Doctor Mu, please tell us quickly. There is no time to lose. We will set off immediately after we know the situation."
Without waiting for Doctor Mu to speak, Lin Shuo said:
"I know. I'll go with you. Don't worry, I'm very strong and nothing will happen to me."
Afraid that they wouldn't believe him, he also explained the morphology and growth characteristics of ephedra again.
Then he looked at Doctor Mu eagerly:
"Am I right?"
Doctor Mu nodded.
But as soon as he nodded, Lin Shuo immediately walked towards the cave entrance:
"We'll go find ephedra right away."
Knowing that he couldn't stop Lin Shuo, Doctor Mu didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Instead, he chased after him and told him to be careful, and asked Liu Dongyang and the others to take better care of him.
Of course, he handed the picture he drew directly to them, and then went to see Liu Ying's condition.
Lin Shuo quickly got out of the cave.
At this time, the snow outside has reached the knees.
Every step they took was quite strenuous.
But Lin Shuo did not fall behind them, but followed them all the way.
Liu Dongyang, who was walking with a stick, smiled:
"Lin Shuo, you're great! You're so young, but you can stand so steadily. Your future is limitless. Keep it up."
Lin Shuo shook his head, "Brother Dongyang, stop praising me.
By the way, ephedra likes dryness, so if we go to higher ground, maybe we can find it.”
"Okay." Liu Dongyang and the other man nodded.
The three of them didn't say anything else, but continued to walk forward with their backs bent against the wind and snow.
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly I heard a loud thud behind me.
Lin Shuo and the other two were startled and turned around to look behind them.
"Who?" Lin Shuo shouted with a frown.
The next second...
