Chapter 80 Survive
Lu Yao glanced at the path winding through the mountains, which seemed to be looming. She couldn't help but think of "The Road to Shu". Their current situation was basically the same.
The mountain road was winding and rugged, and they finally found an open space at a bend.
Meng Hu looked at the area of the open space and thought it was big enough for everyone to stop and rest, so he didn't move forward.
Lu Yao got off the car with the help of Rong Yanhui. She rubbed her swollen head. Fortunately, she had taken motion sickness medicine before setting off. Otherwise, this winding mountain road would definitely drive her crazy.
She looked at the man and asked, "Are you okay?"
Rong Yanhui shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine. As for you, just rest up over there for a while. Leave the rest to me."
"I'll be fine after taking the medicine." Lu Yao took the water bag handed to her by the man and took a sip.
The warm sugar water flowed down my throat into my stomach, and a cool breeze blew over me, making me feel much more comfortable instantly.
Haohao and Yueyue had already gotten off the carriage. When they heard what their father said, they immediately realized what had happened. They quickly surrounded Lu Yaoshuo, asking him about his well-being and massaging his shoulders and legs.
"I'm really fine." Lu Yao felt that the father, son, and daughter were making a big deal out of nothing, but she couldn't handle it alone, so she could only listen to their instructions and go to the side to rest.
Rong Yanhui led the man to a large tree not far away, moved a flat stone and placed it on the ground. He changed his previous attitude of accepting whatever his wife said and said firmly, "You rest first."
Lu Yao touched her nose and sat down obediently.
She knows her own body best, and she is fine now.
But seeing the man's attitude of "I have the final say", she was at a loss as to what to say so that he would believe her.
Haohao seemed to see through his mother's thoughts and disapproved, "Mom, you have to be obedient."
Lu Yao: “…”
She stretched out her magic claws and pinched the little guy's face: "Mother is fine now."
The little guy was unmoved: "You should get more rest too!"
He covered his face with his hands to protect his cheeks, expressing his attitude with his actions: if your mother is not obedient, don't even think about pinching his face.
Lu Yao hummed, wanting to express her protest with actual actions. Xiao Yunhao glanced at a nearby place and reminded her, "Daddy is coming."
Lu Yao's butt was just a few centimeters away from the stone. When she heard Yun Hao's words, she immediately sat back down with a calm expression, as if she was not the one who wanted to stand up.
"Mom, you said that if I feel unwell, I should rest so that I can recover faster." Haohao's face was serious.
Yueyue beside her nodded heavily and agreed, "You still need to take medicine."
My mother once said that bitter medicine can cure any disease. Even if I feel unwell, I have to drink some.
Thinking of this, she tugged at her brother's sleeve and said, "Let's go find Dad to get medicine for Mom."
Haohao wanted to agree, but then he remembered something and shook his head: "Daddy is not a doctor."
Don't take medicine randomly.
Yueyue frowned. What should she do then?
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Uncle, uncle will definitely understand."
Xiao Yunhao's eyes also lit up. His uncle had been reading medical books recently, so he must know.
Thinking of this, he immediately told his sister: "I'm going to find my uncle, you stay here with mother."
"What do you want from me?" Lu Mingxiu was now very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he heard what the little guy said as soon as he walked over.
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
Yue Yue waved at him, and Xiao Yunhao went up to him and held his hand, "Uncle, Mommy is not feeling well, can you take a look?"
"I also need to take medicine," Yueyue added, "but my brother said he needs to see a doctor before he knows what to take."
Lu Yao, who had been watching the two children play freely, couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Yueyue, why are you so obsessed with taking medicine?
Lu Yao thought back over the years, the little guy was still relatively healthy and didn't have many opportunities to take medicine.
Little did she know that the person who made Yueyue so impressed by taking medicine and seeing a doctor was Old Lady Wang.
At that time, the old lady wailed every day, saying that she was in pain and wanted to see a doctor and take medicine. Although they were not with the old lady and others, they encountered such situations several times.
Therefore, in Yueyue's mind, if you are sick, you have to take medicine, and only by taking medicine can you be cured.
Lu Mingxiu rubbed Yueyue's head, then looked at Lu Yao and asked worriedly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
At the same time, he placed his hand on Lu Yao's wrist and began to feel her pulse.
It is true that long illness makes one a doctor.
Over the years, he learned a lot about medicine and pharmacology. Later, when the miracle doctor treated his body, he also followed him to learn for some time. After his younger sister got married, in addition to reading and copying books to make money, he also studied the handwritten copies given to him by the other party.
There were many inconveniences in the capital before. Mo Zhu knew that his young master often read some medical books and miscellaneous books, but he didn't think about it in other ways.
Now that I have left the capital, I have received a medical book from my younger sister. Although I may not be able to treat other serious illnesses due to lack of practice, I am still somewhat confident in treating common discomforts and minor colds.
Lu Yao was helpless and said that all this was just Rong Yanhui and the two children being too nervous and making a fuss out of nothing, and she was really fine.
Lu Mingxiu glared at her.
It's not her decision whether there is something wrong or not.
Lu Yao stuck out her tongue and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother, the child is still here, please give me some face."
Lu Mingxiu found it funny and poked her forehead with his other hand.
Are you trying to save face now? You're not afraid of your kids laughing at you.
"Don't think I can't do anything to you." Lu Mingxiu glared at her.
I made up my mind to have a good talk with Rong Yanhui.
If you can't bear to do it, then let that man come.
He released Lu Yao's wrist and moved to the other side to carefully feel her pulse.
Although he had never taken the pulse of anyone other than himself and Mo Zhu, he was quite skilled at it after repeated practice over the years.
The two little guys stared motionlessly, holding their breath, for fear of disturbing their uncle.
Finally, Lu Mingxiu withdrew his hand. Under the nervous gazes of the two little guys, he reached out and rubbed their heads, smiling and said, "Don't worry, mother is fine."
Hearing that their mother was fine, the two children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Tao Xiangling and others who came later also got off the carriage. Seeing Lu Yao and others from afar, they hurried forward.
During these days, they have been with the team and have established a deep relationship with each other. In this remote wilderness, they always feel at ease when they are with familiar people.
When she got closer and heard the conversation between the few people, she felt a little nervous and looked at Lu Yao with eyes full of concern.
Lu Yao had no choice but to explain her situation again, saying that it was just the winding mountain road that made her a little carsick, but now she has rested for a while and is fine now.
The situation now is just because my family is too nervous.
After confirming that what she said was true, everyone felt relieved and went back to their work. Sister Lu walked behind and said earnestly, "Your health is a big deal, so it's best to be careful."
She suffered a lot when she was young. She was young then and could get through it by just holding on. Now that she is older, it is obvious that she is not in as good shape as before.
"Yes, you have to pay attention to it." Tao Xiangling agreed.
Oh, now Tao Xiangling is no longer called Tao Xiangling, but Chu Xiangning.
Ever since she learned about her family's attitude and hoped that Tao Xiangling would never appear again, she no longer had any hope for her father or that family.
As they wished, Tao Xiangling is a thing of the past. Now she takes her mother's surname, Chu, Chu Xiangning.
With the help and rescue of the officers and soldiers, she was able to escape from the devil's cave and be reborn.
Peace, stability and tranquility are her beautiful expectations for her future life.
Lu Yao thanked everyone for their concern and repeatedly said that she would definitely pay attention, and then everyone dispersed.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with other people's malice, she could fight back without blinking an eye, but everyone's kindness and enthusiasm made her feel powerless.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling heavily, Lu Yao stood up and stretched a bit, pinching little Yueyue's face and rubbing little Yunhao's head. "Okay, mother is fine. Haohao is here with my sister."
She believed that the two children were well-behaved and sensible and would not run around, but she couldn't help but give them some instructions in the end.
Rong Yanhui had already moved all the tools and food from the car, and now started collecting firewood. Lu Yao gave instructions to Haohao and Yueyue, and also joined her husband's team to collect firewood.
The two little guys immediately expressed their desire to help.
Lu Yaohe refused.
This is in the mountains, not on flat land, and the child is still young, so safety is the most important thing.
Haohao and Yueyue were a little disappointed, but they also knew that their parents were worried about them, so they had to go back to the tree and said, "Don't worry, Mom, we will definitely not run around."
Both children are well-behaved and sensible, and Lu Yao is relieved.
When he came to Rong Yanhui, the latter saw him and frowned disapprovingly: "Why are you here?"
Without waiting for her to reply, he added, "Go and rest quickly. I'm here."
Lu Yao once again expressed that she was really fine.
Rong Yanhui still didn't believe it. His face turned pale in the car.
Lu Yao felt helpless again. How could she have known that she would have an accident on the winding mountain road after traveling such a long distance without any accidents?
Xiaoxiao flattered him and said that she would definitely take motion sickness medicine in advance next time.
Honor nodded, then thought of something and asked nervously, "Will it be bad for your health?"
All medicines are poisonous. If you take them for several days in a row, will it have any adverse effects on your body?
"Talking about toxicity without considering the dosage is just hooliganism." Lu Yao suddenly thought of a popular saying in her previous life and said it out loud.
Rong Yan replied: "..."
He looked at Lu Yao and raised his eyebrows: "Playing hooligan?"
???
!!!
Lu Yao never expected that this usually serious man of hers could actually have such a frivolous side. She coughed lightly and asked, "Who are you?"
Rong Yan replied: "...your man."
"Nonsense," Lu Yao curled her lips, "My man is not like that."
"What's that like?" Rong Yanhui was very curious.
Lu Yao: “…”
"Well, I'll go light the fire and cook first." She glared at the man and decided to turn a blind eye, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
As her husband's partner, she could clearly feel the changes in him.
Now, he is still serious and silent in front of outsiders, but he is more confident and cheerful in front of his family.
only,
When did it start?
Mrs. Wang passed away? Received a letter of severance?
Or, since you found out your child was almost killed?
Regardless of when it started, she is happy to see this change.
Over here, Lu Mingxiu had already set up the stove. Seeing Lu Yao come back, he asked about her health again. After confirming that there was no problem, he said, "I'll go get some water first."
There is a small stream winding down from above, not far from here.
Lu Yao checked the ingredients and found no mistakes before she started to get busy.
They will spend the next few days in the mountains. Although General Lin has prepared a lot of things, they are limited after all and cannot be wasted too much. Lu Yao plans to make some simple meals that are both filling and delicious.
In the mountains, in addition to troubles such as miasma, there is a high possibility of encountering various emergencies. In order to reduce the danger, they will speed up their journey. The only way to feel safe is to get out early.
Then, the time left for her to prepare meals will be shortened, and she naturally won’t have to think about complicated dishes.
On the way, Lu Yao and Rong Yanhui decided to make cured meat rice. They cut the cured meat, sausage, carrots, mushrooms, etc. into dices, put them into the washed rice and stewed them together. When it was cooked, they added some soy sauce and other seasonings according to their taste, or added a spoonful of the meat sauce that Lu Yao had made in advance, and then they could start eating.
The salty aroma of bacon, the fresh fragrance of carrots and mushrooms, and the meat sauce mixed with the aroma of rice, the taste is so delicious that it can make people eat three bowls of rice in one breath even in the hot summer.
Because it was a winding mountain road, walking was tiring, and the speed in the carriage was not fast, so even if they were ahead, they would not be able to arrive too far ahead.
So, when the main force arrived, the rice in the pot was not yet ready, and the soup in the other pot had just begun to boil.
Lin Hongyang asked everyone to find a place to rest and have lunch.
The exiled prisoners were still given dry biscuits, and they didn't care how they were processed after they were given to them.
These people can find ways to fill their stomachs, which is also a good thing for the escorting officers and soldiers. If they are full, they can have more physical strength and travel much faster.
Everyone was very tired and didn't want to move, but they were worried that if they set out too early, they would miss the time, so they didn't dare to rest for too long. However, after a few breaths, they took action and began to look for firewood and other things to prepare to process the dry biscuits.
There is no shortage of firewood in the mountains, and there are many wild vegetables to pick. There is also a stream passing by, which is very convenient.
soon,
Small stoves were built one after another, and light smoke rose from them.
As expected, not far away from where Lu Yao was, a rich fragrance emanated again.
After more than a month of torture and adaptation, they have long been accustomed to it, but like every meal before, they still can't help swallowing their saliva.
I wish they could eat what that person made one day.
"What kind of sweet dream are you having? Haven't you seen the officials and the others fighting for it?"
"Isn't this just a thought? You have to have some thoughts in mind to have a goal."
"We just entered the mountain today and are still wandering around the foot of the mountain. I don't know what the situation will be like in the next few days."
"Fill your stomach first and try not to fall behind."
To survive is the belief of all of them.
Along the way, even with the care of General Lin and others, tragedies were inevitable.
Not to mention Old Lady Wang from the Shen family, that person has been restless since the first day of exile. At that time, they thought that this old lady would commit suicide sooner or later.
But when they really see that the other person is gone, they can't help but feel sad.
Not only Old Lady Wang, but some others were seriously ill and could not be cured. When they heard that the next step was a real test of life and death, they all felt very heavy-hearted.
