The car was stuffy.
Lou Yunchun got off the car first and turned back to pick up Xu Jiang. The two of them came to the water's edge and looked at the opposite bank.
After crossing the Wei River, you will reach the border of the capital. At the current pace, you can reach the capital in two days.
Xu Jiang fanned her face to dispel the heat. Seeing that Lou Yunchun was still staring at her, she glared at him in embarrassment and anger, then turned and walked along the waterfront.
Lou Yunchun raised his foot and followed.
The autumn colors in the north are even more intense, with mountains stretching out in endless rows, overlapping green and flowing gold, and reflected clouds, dividing the sky and the earth into two, making it difficult to tell who will win or lose.
The two stopped and watched quietly.
"Ahem!" A few sneezes startled the autumn colors and also startled a pair of mandarin ducks.
Xu Jiang turned around and saw Wu Zhi getting off the willow-shaped carriage listlessly and walking towards her ox cart. She stepped forward and asked with concern, "Ah Zhi, are you feeling better with your cold?"
Wu Zhi has been feeling very embarrassed lately. She thought she was very proud of her medical skills, but she was actually brought down by a minor cold. It would be so embarrassing if she told others about it.
She said stubbornly, "It will be fine soon."
Liu Mei came over and snorted, "What's good about that? You're still running a fever."
Xu Jiang hurriedly touched her forehead, and it was indeed a little hot. He frowned and said, "Why don't you go back to the car and rest? What are you doing here?"
Wu Zhi pulled her hand down, walked to the ox cart, untied the rope, lifted up a corner, and took out a medicine box from inside.
Lou Yunchun quickly stepped forward to take it and said, "We can change the medicine ourselves, you can rest."
Wu Zhi looked at his still slightly red cheeks and slightly swollen lips, then glanced back at the beaming Xu Jiang and snorted, "You sure wish you could."
Lou Yunchun met Xu Jiang's puzzled gaze and felt a rare sense of embarrassment.
Wu Zhi felt weak, and since someone else was doing the job, she was too lazy to take on the work.
She dug out two bottles of fever-reducing pills from the medicine box, then pointed at another bottle of ointment in the box and said to Lou Yunchun, "When using the medicine, you need to rub it to dissolve it. Only after the ointment penetrates the skin and blood vessels can it have the effect of removing blood stasis."
Lou Yunchun coughed and said, "I understand."
Xu Jiang's injuries had mostly healed, but her elbows and ankles were blocked by blood stasis, so she still had to take medication.
After Lou Yunchun regained his strength, his wounds healed quickly. Now the inside has healed and the external wounds have scabbed. In a few days, when the scabs fall off, he will be almost fully healed.
Maybe it was because he had overnourished himself, but his pulse had been very erratic recently, becoming more and more pronounced the closer he got to the capital. He was clinging to Xu Jiang more and more tightly, almost never leaving her side.
So applying medicine became a pleasure.
You rub me and I wipe you, and then we stick together and can't be separated.
What was prescribed to her was not medicine, but paste.
I don’t know what’s so good about this love affair, but I don’t feel sick of it.
Wu Zhi took the medicine, climbed back into the car, and fell asleep.
Xu Jiang brought a blanket for her to cover herself with, and also prepared some water and food in case she woke up and wanted to eat.
Then he touched Wu Zhi's red face and said worriedly, "If you don't feel better after we get to the post station, let's ask a doctor to come and see you."
Liu Mei sighed, "I'm afraid she won't agree."
This Doctor Wu is just like the cow she raised, so stubborn. If she had seen a doctor earlier, the condition would not have become so serious.
"She's already this sick, how can we let her do what she wants? Listen to me." Xu Jiang finished speaking, tucked the blanket in for her, and then said to Liu Mei, "Sister Mei, keep an eye on her. Call me if anything happens."
Liu Mei nodded, "Don't worry."
"Hmm." Xu Jiang was about to get off the car when she heard Wu Zhi hum and mutter a few words. "What did she say?"
Liu Mei leaned over and listened for a while, then said, "He's calling... Mother."
The two were silent for a moment and sighed at the same time.
Xu Jiang got off the carriage, and Lou Yunchun asked, "How is Doctor Wu?"
"She looks a little sick and confused." Xu Jiang was a little worried. "Let's not delay any longer. Let's get to Qingni Post before dark and find a doctor to see her."
"Okay." Lou Yunchun said to Shan Bo, "Shan Bo, let's pack up and set off."
Shan Bo responded and hurriedly told the guards to pack up their things, get on their horses, and get in their cars.
Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun still rode in the same carriage.
After getting in the car, Lou Yunchun took out the ointment and stared at Xu Jiang with burning eyes.
Xu Jiang originally wanted to say that she would do it herself, but in the end she could not bear his warm gaze, so she slowly rolled up her sleeves.
