Chapter 31 Wake Up
Having achieved his goal, He Zhiran was no longer vague.
"Okay, I will help you detoxify now."
After saying that, she walked towards the herbs she had picked yesterday, picked a few at random and turned back.
She handed the herbs to Zhou Laoba and said, "Master, these are the herbs we picked yesterday. Boil some water in it and give it to Master Peng to drink. Within seven days, the remaining toxins in his body will be cleared."
Zhou Laoba was a little skeptical: "Are you serious?"
"Really." He Zhiran answered with certainty.
The herbs she selected together have the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, cooling blood and detoxifying.
Although it didn't help Peng Wang's health much, it was not completely useless.
At least it can relieve the immediate symptoms.
Anyway, there is no residual poison in Peng Wang's body, it just takes time for his body to recover.
Seeing He Zhiran's confident eyes, Zhou Laoba's doubts were reduced a lot.
"Boss, go rest on the wooden cart first. I'll go make the medicine."
Looking at the small space next to the wooden cart, Peng Wang had no choice but to accept his fate and squeeze together with Mo Jiuye. Who asked him to ask for help?
Because of the decoction, the departure was delayed by almost half an hour.
Before setting off, Zhou Laoba observed the prisoners and found that there were two burly men in the He family.
Inevitably, these two people became the main force pushing the wooden cart.
The two were extremely angry when they saw Mo Jiuye lying on the wooden cart.
If it weren't for these officials, they would have wanted to tear Mo Jiuye, who caused the He family to have their property confiscated and exiled, into pieces.
However, after meeting Peng Wang's warning look, the He brothers suddenly lost all their arrogance.
I could only accept my fate and push the wooden cart on my way.
He Zhiran's action once again attracted admiring glances from the female members of the Mo family.
Especially Mo Hanyue, who started chattering around He Zhiran as soon as they set off.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, you are amazing! Not only does Brother Jiu not have to get off the wooden cart, but we also have free labor available. This makes things much easier for us."
He Zhiran was praised by his sister-in-law, but he just smiled.
She didn't think there was anything special about doing these things. They were all the experience she had gained in her previous life and her personality.
Mo Hanyue became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and had already put her arm around He Zhiran.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, my brother Jiu is so lucky to marry a wife as amazing as you."
As they were talking, Mo Hanyue saw the herbs they had picked yesterday in the grass by the roadside.
She pointed at the herbs and said excitedly, "Sister-in-law Jiu, there are some herbs over there. I'll go pick them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Hanyue was about to run to the side of the road, but was grabbed by He Zhiran.
"Little sister, there will be another opportunity to collect herbs later. If you delay everyone's journey, you will be punished by the officials."
Mo Hanyue is just a simple-minded little girl and she doesn't think about that at all.
Only after being reminded by He Zhiran did she realize that she was on the road to exile.
Mo Hanyue's little face wrinkled in unhappiness.
"I understand, Sister-in-law Jiu. I will pay attention next time."
The Mo family was well fed and could walk at the same pace as the officers.
People from other families were not so lucky. They had to eat black-faced steamed buns for two consecutive meals, which were not only difficult to swallow but also not filling.
In addition, they were used to a life of luxury, so less than half an hour after the main force set out, they began to fall behind.
The officers were ruthless and anyone who fell behind would be beaten with their whips.
So much so that there were constant wailing sounds from the rear of the team.
The two strong men of the He family who were responsible for pushing the wooden cart were also a little overwhelmed and kept begging Peng Wang to give them some food.
Peng Wang was not completely unreasonable. He knew that the two men needed to work hard, and was about to order someone to bring two white flour buns.
The wooden cart happened to hit a big rock and almost overturned.
Peng Wang was sitting on top, and with the force his body tilted, and he fell on Mo Jiuye.
Coincidentally, the place where Peng Wang touched was exactly where Mo Jiuye was most seriously injured.
Mo Jiuye didn't react for a moment and instinctively groaned.
Peng Wang didn't have time to scold the two people pushing the cart. His first thought was that Mo Jiuye had woken up.
He quickly called out to He Zhiran: "Come and see if your husband is awake."
Although he was used to seeing prisoners dying on the road, Peng Wang still had some respect for Mo Jiuye.
Especially when the official had an argument with Xie Fang, He Zhiran's words touched him a lot.
No matter what mistakes Mo Jiuye made, it cannot obscure the fact that the men of the Mo family sacrificed their lives for their country.
The same goes for Mo Jiuye. Not long ago, the scene of his triumphant return was spreading everywhere in the capital.
For such a person, Peng Wang sincerely hopes that he can survive.
Of course, this was just his subconscious thought. If the Mo family dared to cause him trouble on the road, he would teach them a lesson without mercy.
He Zhiran didn't know what Peng Wang was thinking. When he heard him calling him, he hurried over.
"Master Peng, you said my husband is awake?"
She pretended to be shocked, but she was mentally prepared for what to do.
Peng Wang moved his body to the side.
"I might have touched his wound just now. I don't know if it hurt or what, but he groaned."
He Zhiran asked the He brothers to stop, and she symbolically picked up one of Mo Jiuye's arms and pretended to take his pulse.
She actually did this to give Mo Jiuye some time.
Because she didn't know what Mo Jiuye was planning, whether to wake up at this moment or wait a little longer.
Mo Jiuye was also thinking in his mind.
On the surface, he seemed to be lying unconscious in the car, but in fact he did not let his guard down at all.
From early morning till now, he has been sensing the movements around him, and even secretly looking around when others are not paying attention.
He didn't find any danger within his observation.
After thinking it over, Mo Jiuye decided to wake up.
Just as He Zhiran was carefully taking his pulse, he let out a faint groan.
Peng Wang pointed at Mo Jiuye again and said, "Look, is he really awake?"
He Zhiran withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse and said with feigned joy, "Yes, my husband is awake."
Upon hearing this, Madam Mo and other female relatives gathered around, and the concern in their eyes did not seem fake.
It can be said that their acting skills are absolutely up to par.
He Zhiran took the water bag from his waist.
"Husband, how are you feeling? Drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Mo Jiuye also cooperated very well. He raised his head slightly with great effort and drank two sips of water with the help of He Zhiran.
Peng Wang kindly reminded him, "He's weak now, so it's not suitable for him to eat dry steamed buns. It's best to give him more water to moisten his throat."
Although it was a reminder, the tone was always impatient.
