Chapter 249: Saving lives is of vital importance. Being able to find potatoes is not just a matter of luck. According to legend, potatoes were introduced to China from European countries for cultivation. This place is remote, so they must grow something themselves to supply food. If they simply rely on shipping food by ship, the time cost will be too high. Therefore, a garden is left for the servants to cultivate and plant, which can also avoid food shortages and make up for them in time.

For the time being, these potatoes are as important as saving lives, so Yunwen and I went back to the house, found a basket, and collected them one by one. There were more potatoes than expected, and some had many potatoes in one bundle. In total, there were about seventy-four or seven. We kept six or seven as seedlings for planting next time, and the rest can be eaten now.

So we took all the potatoes back. Although those pots looked a lot, they were actually mostly rusty and we were afraid that using them would be bad for the body. Fortunately, there was a drawer for the oven, so we took it out, cleaned it up a little, and then found a silver knife to help peel it. Yunwen was deft and didn't peel off too much of the edible part.

After beating the skin, find a washed porcelain plate and place it on top, about three or four of them, then put it in the oven, light the firewood under the stove, and bake it like this. Before long, a faint sizzling sound can be heard from inside, and a slight fragrance also emerges.

Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything from last night until now except for drinking some water. Plus, I've encountered so many things that my stomach has been growling with hunger.

When the potatoes were almost cooked and gave off a fragrant aroma, I took them out and shared them with Yunwen. Since we were both very hungry, we didn't know how to eat in moderation. After we both swallowed, we not only almost choked, but also got burned to a considerable extent. However, this was a common situation when we were children, so it was not serious.

But seeing the two of them looking so embarrassed, they couldn't help but laugh at each other.

We hid for two days, and originally planned to wait for Bailu to wake up and take care of herself before going out. However, Bailu's condition seemed to be getting worse. She was getting weaker and weaker, and was often in a state of collapse. Yunwen sometimes imitated Bailu and took her pulse, but she only said that her condition was getting worse and worse. If there was no medicine to treat her, she might not survive.

In fact, people often do this. When they cannot accept a fact psychologically, they will produce some mechanism to help themselves get over it. Just like Song Bailu is now. She doesn't want to believe that Song Yingchun would stab her, so she instinctively wants to reject this matter. As a result, her injury becomes more serious and her recovery becomes unstable, so that she doesn't have to face this reality.

Sometimes, a person's subjective consciousness can affect his or her body, just like some doctors use placebos to allow patients to achieve physical pain relief through self-suggestion. In fact, the drug has no analgesic effect at all. It's a fact.

The influence of subjective will on the body will profoundly affect the patient through this suggestion.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Bai Lu's body is unwilling to wake up, which is closely related to her subjective will.

"There is no glucose or saline solution to inject here. If Sister Bailu continues like this, without waking up and receiving treatment, she will probably die of exhaustion. We should do something, Zhou Bo." Yunwen said.

"For two days, Song Bailu has not woken up except for talking a lot in her sleep. This cannot go on. Her body cannot take it. I don't know what the reason is. After all, it was you who got the brain injured, not her. How come she was still asleep in the end? How can we save her?" I said.

"Heart disease needs to be cured with heart medicine. In order to wake Sister Bailu up, in addition to having the medicine, we also have to find that heart medicine back, otherwise we may lose Sister Bailu." Yunwen said.

"Heart medicine? You mean, Song Yingchun?" I asked.

"Yes, the situation is urgent and we have to hurry. After all, Sister Bailu is preparing medicine for us most of the time and using her ability to recuperate our bodies, so that every time we are injured or sick, we can have a good result and the condition will not worsen and become more serious. By this calculation, she has saved our lives countless times. For her, we should do something, just as if to save her, what do you think?" Yunwen asked.

I thought about it and I felt that Yunwen was right. Besides, if she died and Yingchun betrayed us, Yunwen and I would be the only ones left in the team. But if Yunwen developed an irreversible disease, how would we deal with it? Yunwen must have suffered a severe brain injury recently, and she seemed to be acting strangely. I had no way to cure her. I had to rely on someone like Song Bailu who was proficient in medicine.

In this sense, although our team is always in a state of disunity, we can never get along harmoniously and have constant problems, but generally speaking, no one can do without each other. We need Bailu and Bailu needs Yingchun. Although Yingchun is rebellious, she is still young and ignorant and should be educated well.

But no matter what is said or punished, it is a family matter. At least now, the person should be brought back instead of being left out in the cold.

"You're right. Saving people is important. Saving others is also saving yourself. Longhu is not necessarily a powerful figure, otherwise it would have been so cowardly when the Nine-tailed Fox was only two or three hundred steps away from it. This shows that its weakness is particularly obvious. Besides, only cowards would make themselves so bluffing, which shows that it is weak at heart. We have been intimidated and frightened by it all the time, so no one has ever dared to lift the curtain to see its true appearance, which is why it has been so arrogant again and again. We should choose to take the initiative." I said.

Yunwen nodded in approval.

"Listen to my instructions. You are not feeling well, so just wait for me at home. Also take good care of Bailu. I will ride Sanfu to find Jinque, and then go find Yingchun." I said.

"I'm going too. I can't let you take risks all the time." Yunwen said, holding my hand.

"You've been having a bad headache lately, and you can't even ride the horse steadily and might fall off. Also, if anything happens to Bailu, we won't be able to do anything even if we find Yingchun. So you just wait for me at home, I'll be back soon, okay?" I asked.

Yunwen shook her head, her pretty face flushed as she said, "No, I let you do the most dangerous things every time, but I can only wait, worry, and be afraid, but I can't do anything. I don't want this."

I touched her little face, looked into her watery eyes, and said, "Don't think too much. You and I just have different divisions of labor. What we do is the most reasonable arrangement at the moment. Your work has its own hardships, and I have mine. There is no comparison between ours. Besides, since I have made up my mind to take the initiative to kill this bad guy, I can't do it blindly, but have a plan in mind. So don't be afraid, I will definitely be back safely and soon."

Yunwen bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, but after looking at Bailu, she must have known that what I said made sense, so she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. When you promised me that you would come back, you must come back."

I nodded, and then she pulled me over and let my mouth press against hers. For a moment, the taste of her lips remained on my lips and teeth, and my nose was filled with her fragrance. This kiss was sweet and affectionate.

"It's a lucky kiss, don't get me wrong." Yunwen's face was already blushing.

I smiled and held her in my arms, but time was running out. Bai Lu's health had been deteriorating over the past two days. If I delayed any further, more accidents might happen. So I had to leave quickly.

So, after a moment, I gently pushed her away, then mounted my horse and rode away.

I glanced at her from the corner of my eye, and saw her behind me, looking at me with eager eyes.
