Chapter 152: All divine assists!
The voices were so shrill that even the police officers couldn't help but become nervous. Seeing that they were about to draw their swords and walk towards them, Ran Qingxuan immediately pretended to be weak and stretched out his hand to Madam Gu.
"mother..."
"Ran, Ran, you're awake, what's going on?"
The officers were relieved to see that Ran Qingxuan was not going to bite anyone. Bu Wei walked up to him cautiously and observed his actions.
"Ran, what's wrong with you and your wife? You know medical skills, can you treat them yourself?"
"Let me show it to my husband first!" Ran Qingxuan leaned beside Old Madam Gu and reached in the direction of Gu Yanchen.
Chen Zhao helped the person lie down in front of her. Ran Qingxuan couldn't lift her hands. Seeing this, Old Madam Gu pulled Gu Yanchen's hand over.
The densely packed red pimples on her face and hands looked very scary. Seeing her like this, Bu Wei was very glad that the dead rabbit was not eaten by his own people.
However, before Ran Qingxuan finished his diagnosis, Mrs. Gu suddenly screamed and covered her hands with horror.
"My hands, why are there rashes on my hands too?"
Everyone was frightened and panicked when they saw this scene, and even Bu Wei himself couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Just by touching it, the same rash appeared on Madam Gu's hand. Now everyone knows that this thing is not only scary, but also contagious...
The officers looked at the prisoner who was about to lose control and immediately drew their swords and shouted at him.
Ran Qingxuan also withdrew his hand at this time and said weakly.
"Boss Bu, could you please ask someone to pick some herbs?"
"Did you find out what caused it?"
A hint of just the right amount of guilt flashed across Ran Qingxuan's face, and he said weakly.
"The problem does exist with the rabbit meat, but it's not as serious as Uncle Chen said. The rash on our bodies is the result of excreting toxins. Once in contact, the rash will also appear on the other person's body. But as long as they take medicine, the toxins will be excreted in a few days and the condition will be cured."
Bu Wei's face was full of doubt, as if he was afraid that Ran Qingxuan had made a wrong diagnosis.
"Are you sure? Your mother-in-law just touched you and you got a rash, which proves that this thing is extremely contagious. What if we come into contact with it and get infected too..."
Bu Wei was just thinking about safety, but he didn't know that this was exactly what Ran Qingxuan wanted.
Old Madam Gu also played her role at this time. When she stood up, she refused the support of other women in the family and walked straight towards Bu Wei.
"Stop, stop, stop. Just stand there and don't come over."
Bu Wei was so frightened that he stepped back. Some officials even pulled up the corners of their clothes to cover their mouths and noses, fearing that the air was poisonous.
"Master, since my daughter-in-law said that she would be fine after taking the medicine, it doesn't take much time to boil some herbs. If we don't control it, it might get worse. Don't you agree?"
Bu Wei frowned as he looked at Madam Gu who was infected with a rash, and then glanced at Chen Zhao who had just come into contact with Gu Yanchen.
"I remember you just came into contact with Gu Yanchen, why don't you have a rash?"
Chen Zhao became anxious when he was questioned and immediately stretched out his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"When I helped him up just now, I only touched his clothes and didn't touch his skin, so I'm fine. If you don't believe me, just look."
Chen Zhao's words further confirmed what Ran Qingxuan said that as long as it didn't come into contact with the skin, it would be fine.
Seeing that he was about to come over, Bu Wei waved his hand and signaled him to stay where he was.
"Ran, are you sure you won't get the rash if you don't come into contact with it?"
"Sure. I just said that these rashes are a sign of toxins being excreted. Just avoid physical contact with others, take medicine, and rest for a few days and you'll be fine."
As he spoke, Ran Qingxuan pretended to be regretful and said, "There are not many herbs available in the wild. If I could get some at a clinic, I might get better in one day."
Bu Wei gritted his teeth as he watched the red rashes on their faces and arms become more and more dense, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
"It will take another five or six days to reach Shuangling City. It would be best for you to stay away from people during these few days to avoid implicating others."
“Avoiding people?
We can't stay on the donkey cart forever, can we? No matter what, you have to come down to eat. ”
Ran Qingxuan couldn't agree right away, lest it be too straightforward and arouse suspicion.
When Bu Wei heard Ran Qingxuan say that she still wanted to come down to eat, and then looked at her and Gu Yanchen's faces, he suddenly felt his stomach churning.
"I agree. You and your wife should stay in the donkey cart for a few days until the rash subsides. Then come out to avoid... causing panic."
Bu Wei almost said what was in his mind. The dense rash was really disgusting...
"Okay then. I'll have to trouble my family to bring in meals in the next few days."
Bu Wei also found it hard to imagine that with such a face, wouldn't the two of them be terrified just looking at the bowl in their arms...
"I advised you not to eat the dead rabbit, but you two refused to listen. Now...sigh..."
Madam Gu's timely complaint convinced the officers that the two men's misfortune was caused by their greed.
Ran Qingxuan orally described more than a dozen herbs, all of which were common and could clear away heat and detoxify. The Chen father and son were out for nearly half an hour before they brought back a small bag.
"These are only enough for one time. I'm afraid I'll have to look for them again at night."
A look of self-blame flashed across Chen Chengping's face. If he had remembered that incident at that time, perhaps he could have persuaded the two of them to stay, and they wouldn't have to suffer like this now.
"Cook these first, and then you can pick them when we get to our resting place in the evening."
Fortunately, Bu Wei is not the kind of person who forgets to be grateful. This way, it can be considered a great convenience for the two of them.
The women in the Gu family were worried about the two of them, and were also worried about Old Madam Gu who had a rash on her hands. Before the herbs came back, they began to prepare the utensils for cooking the medicine.
During this time, Madam Gu decided to move all the things in the donkey cart and the tent outside, and even Xuan'er was taken out.
Several families worked together and placed everything except the tents on the reinforced cart, with daily necessities at the bottom, a layer of oilcloth in the middle, and bedding for use at night on top.
The second sister-in-law even left an empty space in the middle so that Xuan'er would not be blown by the wind after being put in.
Ran Qingxuan was actually quite embarrassed because the child was still young, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.
Two quilts were placed separately in the donkey cart. After Ran Qingxuan and the weak Gu Yanchen supported each other and went in, Old Madam Gu also sat in the front room of the cart with her hands in her arms to rest.
After the three of them drank the medicine, Bu Wei still reminded them, "Call for help if anything happens. Don't come down and contact anyone until the rash has gone down."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Ran Qingxuan was so happy sitting in the donkey cart that she couldn't contain herself. Gu Yanchen smiled helplessly beside her, and was also happy for her wit.
That way, their departure at night wouldn't arouse suspicion.
At nightfall, the two men got off the donkey cart quietly after making sure that the official began to doze off. An Er and An Liu, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly changed their clothes.
