Chapter 58 Miasma
Lu Shiyan: “…”
Why doesn't this sound like a compliment...it sounds like it's implying something to him.
"What is that? A deer?" Jiang Tangtang was thinking about how to divert Lu Shiyan's attention when she saw an animal not far away that looked like a sika deer but was smaller in size.
Lu Shiyan didn't bother to think about what it was. He raised his hand, picked a leaf, and flew towards the deer.
Unfortunately, Jiang Tangtang's scream had already alarmed the deer, and before Lu Shiyan's leaf hidden weapon flew over, the deer had already run away nimbly.
"I'll go take a look!" Lu Shiyan threw the rabbit to Jiang Tangtang and chased after the deer.
Jiang Tangtang put the rabbit into the basket and breathed a sigh of relief.
Go hunting! Just don't chase her around asking what rubber is and where she read it in a book.
She continued to wander in the woods, looking at the pheasants in the woods. Suddenly, an idea came to her and she took out thirty pheasant eggs from the space.
She doesn't know how to hunt or catch pheasants, but she has space!
At that time, the farm stay was about to open. In order to highlight the farm flavor, in addition to preparing various wild vegetables for the menu, she also bought a lot of pheasant eggs from pheasant farmers.
At this time, she took it out and pretended that she had picked it up.
Jiang Tangtang had just placed the pheasant eggs neatly into the basket when Lu Shiyan came back with a few pheasants.
Lu Shiyan waved the pheasant in his hand towards her and said, "The deer ran away, so we didn't catch it, but we did catch a few pheasants."
Jiang Tangtang touched his nose and said, "That's quite a coincidence. I picked up a nest of pheasant eggs."
When Lu Shiyan came over, he saw half a basket of pheasant eggs and couldn't help but ask, "Are there so many pheasant eggs in a nest?"
"It might be a flock of pheasants, all laying eggs in the same nest, and I just happened to spot them." Jiang Tangtang awkwardly changed the subject, "This forest is quite large, and we won't be able to walk through it in a short time. Let's go back first."
Lu Shiyan nodded, stretched out his hand to the basket and said, "Let me take it!"
Jiang Tangtang waved her hand, "No need, this basket isn't heavy, I can just hold it."
As soon as the two of them left the forest, they saw Chen kneeling in front of Su and saying, "Sister-in-law, after all these years of being sisters-in-law, are you really going to be so cruel and watch someone die without helping?"
Su touched Lu Zhixi's forehead and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's not that I'm standing by and watching someone die, I really don't have any other options! My Zhixi isn't feeling well either. If there's a doctor, how could I refuse to let him treat her?"
Mrs. Chen said excitedly, "The doctor clearly came to the village with your family, and you said there was no doctor. Are you kidding me?"
"Really? No, the doctor said he was going to collect herbs on the way, and then he left and never came back."
Su pointed at He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them, or ask the villagers in Zhounan Village. See if I'm lying to you."
Seeing He Qiuniang and the others nod, Chen said that Doctor Xue had gone to collect herbs. She said anxiously, "Then... if you don't have a doctor, you must have medicine. Please give us some of it to save Zhiyi!"
Su was just wiping her tears and saying no, when she suddenly saw Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang coming back. She immediately shouted as if she had seen a savior, "Shiyan, come and take a look! Your sister might have been poisoned by miasma. You need to think of a solution quickly!"
The word "miasma" seemed to have activated some kind of curse. Some people sobbed quietly, some cried loudly, and some even cursed loudly.
"I've heard that there's miasma everywhere here, and it's impossible to live here. Mother, please think of a way and take me away! I don't want to die here." Lu Zhiyi was so dizzy from a fever that he held Chen's hand and begged.
Chen cried so hard that she was out of breath. If possible, she would like to leave.
But she seemed to have a husband and a son, but the husband was useless and only cared about himself all day long. The son forgot his mother after he got a wife and became less and less close to her.
How could she, a weak woman, escape with her daughter?
Not to mention that although she was exiled, her family was still in the capital. What if her escape was reported and her family was punished?
You can't harm your mother's family just for your own sake!
Someone nearby saw Chen crying non-stop without scolding her daughter, as if she had a plan and was really trying to escape. They couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, you have to take good care of your child. Even if she's sick, don't say anything. If what she said gets to the ears of Manager Lei, I'm afraid your whole family will suffer."
"My daughter is sick and confused, how can you take her words seriously?" Chen glanced at the ragged, dark-skinned villager and said, "Besides, who are you? How can you, a pariah, teach my daughter a lesson?"
The villager had good intentions, but he didn't expect his kindness to be rewarded. He immediately cursed, "Who are you calling a pariah? I have a clean record, unlike you, an exiled criminal. I don't know what evil you did to be banished here."
"Who are you saying is the culprit? You evil woman!" Chen was so angry that she raised her hand to slap the villager, but the villager dodged her. The two of them wrestled with each other and the scene was suddenly in chaos.
Lu Shiyan ignored the farce on Chen's side. He walked to Su's side in two or three steps and carefully observed Lu Zhixi's condition.
Lu Zhixi's originally fair face was covered with red spots, her hands were swollen like steamed buns, and her hands were covered with blisters.
Lu Shiyan's face was solemn. Obviously, he had already confirmed Su's statement and thought that his sister was poisoned by miasma.
When Jiang Tangtang approached, he quickly scolded her, "Don't come near. The miasma is contagious. You... take good care of the child. I'll take my sister to see a doctor."
As a modern person, Jiang Tangtang is not as afraid of miasma as people of this era.
Observing Lu Zhixi's condition, she felt that he did not seem to have been poisoned by miasma, but rather that he had been bitten by some insect, causing an allergy and infection.
When she first returned to the countryside to run a farm stay, she was bitten by insects. She didn't know what was wrong at the time and went to the emergency room.
Later, because we were worried about this happening again, we always kept anti-allergic histamine drugs and ointments at home.
I don't know if it's right for you, but you can give it a try.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Take him home first! I might have a way."
Lu Shiyan thought of the young children and was about to refuse, but Su nodded and said, "Listen to your wife. Hurry up and send your sister home first."
Lu Shiyan just thought that Doctor Xue gave her some medicine before he left, so she didn't refuse.
But he carried Lu Zhixi on his back the whole time and kept her at a distance. When they got home, he didn't go in. He put Lu Zhixi on the ground and said, "What medicine did Doctor Xue give you? Put it on the stone over there. I'll come get it. You don't have to come over."
Jiang Tangtang said: "Okay, wait a moment."
"Shi Yan, what happened?" In the room, Mrs. Lu heard the noise outside and ran out in a hurry.
"Mom!" Brothers Lu Tiantian and Lu Jingcheng also looked at Jiang Tangtang worriedly.
"Your aunt is sick, you guys better behave yourself! Wait, I'll find some medicine for her!"
Jiang Tangtang said as she reached into her bag. Using the bag's cover, she took out the chlorpheniramine and quickly dissolved it in water.
She took the bowl out, and seeing that Lu Shiyan didn't let Madam Lu and the others get close to them, she tactfully placed the bowl on the stone and said, "Give her this medicine to try first. If it works, I'll boil some warm water to wash her face and hands, and then apply some ointment."
