The obvious signs of acting were so obvious that even the usually oblivious Liu Weimin twitched at the corner of his mouth.
This time, he felt that what the young educated youth said made sense.
"It's definitely not okay here. She's just a young girl. What kind of situation would that be? You can't take revenge for someone who saved your life!"
"puff!"
Suddenly, Jian Dan realized that Liu Weimin had a certain sense of humor; listen to this joke, it's still popular in later generations.
"Uncle, you see things much better than I do."
However, Cheng Chao didn't really think much about it. He had just warmed up and his mind was still a mess. After saying that, the little strength he had just mustered was almost gone.
"I said, 'If you're going to help someone, at least give me something to eat. I haven't frozen to death yet, but I'm about to starve to death.'"
He paused for a moment,
"Oh dear, I forgot about that. I was just thinking you needed to drink water."
Since this person has revealed his identity, regardless of whether it's true or not, and since he can openly and honestly seek out Lin Zhengde, he probably can't escape.
This type of person is someone you can simply admire, and this small request is something you absolutely must fulfill.
She ate hot pot for her last meal, which, regardless of whether it's safe to eat, is definitely not something this patient can eat. What's best for him right now is porridge, but cooking porridge takes time.
After a quick thought, I scooped a bowl of millet, washed it, and put it in the pot. I added water, then threw in a few eggs, placed a fork on top, cracked a few more eggs into a bowl, and put them on top as well. I took a small bowl of steamed buns from the cupboard, arranged them, covered the pot, and kept the fire burning under the stove, adding just a couple more pieces of firewood.
The big pot also took a while to heat up. The aroma of rice from the pot filled the air, and not only the patients, but even Liu Weimin had to force himself to keep his eyes from wandering in that direction.
Smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household outside. It was clear that Liu Weimin would not be able to go back for his second meal in the countryside during the winter.
Since one of the patients couldn't get up, Liu Weimin accompanied him. They simply set up a table for the two of them on the stove. The millet porridge was cooked until it was soft and golden, with a layer of rice oil floating on top, which looked very appetizing, let alone for someone who hadn't eaten for several days.
Millet porridge, large white steamed buns, a bowl of steamed egg custard, and a small bowl of pickled cucumbers from the fall.
"Uncle, why don't you have something to eat with him? I had breakfast late and I'm not hungry yet."
This was the first time Cheng Chao had felt so helpless and embarrassed. The simple food made him keep swallowing his saliva.
Liu Weimin saw that this was for his share and wanted to refuse, but seeing that it was a man and a woman, and since he had to wait for Lin Zhengde anyway, he didn't stand on ceremony. He helped the patient wash his hands and face, helped him sit up, placed something behind him for support, and moved closer to the stove himself.
"Eat up, little Jian's cooking is pretty good, look how well this porridge is made,"
The millet porridge was golden, and the sponge cake was glistening with oil; the aroma was already wafting into my nose.
More importantly, most families couldn't afford to eat refined grains, let alone such thick porridge and such a large bowl of steamed egg custard.
Not wanting to embarrass them, I laid out the things and quickly went inside.
"Uncle, I'm leaving this guest to you. I'll go prepare my vegetables now."
Although they were very close, there was a door between them. Once the door was closed, the heat on Cheng Chao's face subsided considerably.
He's really something, asking his savior to cook for him.
But since you've already abandoned all pretense, why bother with any pretense?
I picked up the bowl and took a sip of porridge. The slightly hot temperature slid down my throat and all the way to my stomach, leaving me feeling warm all the way up. After finishing a bowl of porridge, I felt like I had come back to life.
It's a bit frustrating to admit, but he really didn't have any fatal injuries.
He got to this point largely due to the cold and hunger. In addition, the things he was carrying were sensitive, so he had to be extra careful and vigilant. He was tired, cold, hungry, and mentally stressed. Plus, there was someone following him from behind. For the last stretch, he used almost all his strength to run down the mountain. In the end, he couldn't even pull the piece of wood he had specially prepared to clear away the traces.
He had long since given up, but seeing the wall gave him his last hope.
Ignoring the blurry, doubled vision before his eyes and the erratic movements that followed, he stumbled and scrambled to the base of the wall, threw the things he was carrying into it, and with his last ounce of strength threw himself in, landing heavily beneath the thick layer of snow before finally letting himself lose consciousness.
Her hand was still swollen, like a radish, with chilblains on her knuckles that were turned outwards, red, swollen and purple. The tips of her ears were the same color. She was probably in so much pain and itching that her hand was a little unsteady while holding the spoon, but there was no abnormality on her face.
Chilblains are localized inflammatory skin lesions caused by cold during the cold winter or early spring. They often occur on the extremities and exposed areas, such as the hands, feet, tip of the nose, ears, earlobes, and cheeks. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chilblains occur because the patient's Yang energy is insufficient, and they are exposed to cold and dampness, leading to poor blood circulation and blood stasis. Therefore, people with a cold constitution often experience chilblain symptoms in winter.
The weather here is cold and the temperature is low. People don't have the means to keep warm, so quite a few people get frostbite.
Especially since this area is close to the border, even when there is peace and no conflict, the outdoor patrol duties of the troops stationed in various places are much more frequent, and almost everyone has to go through this.
Liu Weimin watched silently, head bowed. If this were his own child, he would be heartbroken.
A sheet of corn stalks was laid on the ground, and since it was close to the stove, it wasn't too cold.
Almost as soon as he put down the bowl, Cheng Chao couldn't keep his eyes open anymore, lay down, and fell asleep instantly.
I heard a noise and opened the door to take a look. He had eaten and his complexion was a little better, but his face was still very cold. If he relaxed for a while, he would definitely have a fever.
She's not an expert in this area; she knows about herbs, but she doesn't really know how to treat illnesses, though she does have fever reducers.
Not to mention the stock at the base, she kept the few pills the doctor prescribed during her two days in the hospital in Beijing, and she also had some commonly used medicines at home, like the all-purpose Analgin, which she had more than twenty tablets of.
"Uncle, does he have a fever?"
Liu Weimin sighed.
"That's right, they're freezing! I'll go check, I've sent someone to look for them, but they still haven't found them!"
“The mountain area is so vast, and it’s covered in snow now, even flat ground is difficult to walk on. We still need to find someone, so we can’t come back so soon. I have some medicine, you can feed it to him first, lest he really gets brain damage from the fever.”
Liu Weimin, is that polite of you to say?
However, he still carefully poured the medicine down his throat. Fortunately, Cheng Chao, who was burning up, was not too resistant despite being drowsy. After taking two pills and drinking two bowls of water, he fell into a deep sleep.
However, she still held tightly to what she considered important.
Liu Weimin wanted to leave, but he couldn't rest easy leaving this hidden bomb behind.
