Chapter 79 She Wants to Survive
"Second sister-in-law." Lin Zhiyi called in a low voice.
"I was ignorant before, so can I be nice to you just for once? Just consider it as an apology to my second sister-in-law."
Lin Zhiyi reached out and held Fang Luo's foot. "Second sister-in-law, please don't move anymore. If this wound is not treated, you may not be able to walk tomorrow."
Fang Luo was shocked.
She was shocked that her aunt was willing to touch her feet and treat her abrasions.
She obediently did not move, allowing Lin Zhiyi to help her deal with it.
Lin Zhiyi first rinsed the wound with saline, then wiped the wound and surrounding skin with iodine, and then bandaged it simply.
"Second sister-in-law, I have already made arrangements. You, mother, and eldest sister-in-law can ride in the carriage together tomorrow."
Fang Luo was delighted when she heard this, "Sister, is it really possible?"
Lin Xiuyan also said: "That's great. I was thinking of taking your sister-in-law with me on a cart tomorrow. Now that we can take a carriage, your sister-in-law will suffer less."
Lin Zhiyi nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiuyan and Fang Luo looked at each other and saw happiness in each other's eyes.
Today, Fang Luo and Lin Xiuyan slept together on a cart.
"My aunt has changed."
Lin Xiuyan asked doubtfully, "No, my sister has always been like this. What has changed?"
"I've gotten better. I'm always thinking about everyone."
"Yes, I admit that some of the things my sister did before were unfair to you and sister-in-law, but she was still young at that time, so you should not bother with her.
Now that my sister has grown up, she's no longer so capricious. After the Lin family fell on hard times, we relied on her to keep us well fed and clothed. Without her, it's doubtful we would have made it to Fangzhou alive."
Lin Xiuyan sighed.
He was the eldest son of the Lin family, and grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had many servants in his house, and he never thought that he would go hungry one day.
He never imagined that when the Lin family fell into trouble, it would be his younger sister who supported the family.
Fang Luo said nothing more after hearing this.
She admitted what her husband said and said that she relied on her sister-in-law for the whole journey.
As an older brother, he naturally couldn't see the changes in his aunt.
But I am different from my sister-in-law.
Lin Zhiyi also returned to the carriage to sleep.
Although the carriage was driven by a single person and was not as good as the one driven by Dalin, it was not an ordinary small carriage.
Considering that he had a lot of things to carry and could rest in the carriage, the carriage that Lin Zhiyi bought was very spacious. It not only had two couches that could sleep two people, but also a small table for having tea.
With Li Wenjing as her expert, she slept soundly.
But someone felt uneasy, and that was Mu Yunzhao.
She was caught in the rain for three days and fell ill.
But now, Mu's father and mother no longer trust her as much as before, and leave her to fend for herself.
She shivered with cold. This was how she had lived in her previous life, but she didn't die.
This life was better than the previous one because she had the memory of her previous life, which allowed her to ask the Mu family to prepare some money, clothes, food and quilts in advance.
But the three days of rain soaked the quilt thoroughly, and she couldn't carry it on her back while walking, so she threw it away halfway.
Now she was wrapped in a cotton coat, which had been dried by fire with great difficulty, and could be worn.
No, she couldn't lie there any longer, she had to live.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunzhao climbed up from the bed again.
She took out a medical book from her bag.
When she was reborn, she learned that the Mu family was going to be exiled. After hiding the silver she had on her, she took out a medical book containing various medicinal herbs and their effects.
By the light of the fire, she found the page for treating colds and carefully memorized all the herbs in it.
Mu Yunzhao had a difficult night.
The next morning, she was shocked to see Lin Zhiyi getting off the carriage.
Wasn’t the deposed prince resting in the carriage? How come Lin Zhiyi, the abandoned woman, also got off the carriage?
Mu Yunzhao, who was originally still sick, immediately got up. No, she couldn't let Lin Zhiyi take away the deposed prince.
She must take good care of herself.
After just a few bites of bread, the officer shouted that it was time to set off.
The journey was even slower this time. The officials were driving the team like cattle and sheep, and they moved slowly, taking one step at a time.
If they are not driven away soon, the exile team will stop.
Only Mu Yunzhao picked up all the herbs nearby when she saw some of them were used to treat colds.
Because the team was moving slowly, Mu Yunzhao collected a lot of medicinal herbs without delaying the journey and prepared all the medicinal herbs for colds.
I thought that after the team stopped, I would borrow a medicine pot and boil these herbs.
At noon, when the team stopped, a large group of people lay on the ground.
After lying down, many people were unable to get up.
Their relatives cried and wailed, but to no avail.
Some people were already in poor health while in prison, and they had not eaten enough all day and had to travel continuously. Now they were getting wet in the rain and the temperature dropped.
Mu Yunzhao was a little worried at this time.
Whose medicine jar can I borrow? It seems that not many people in the team carry medicine jars. If I ask Lin Zhiyi to borrow it, will she lend it to me?
Never mind, let’s try it first.
Mu Yunzhao came to Lin Zhiyi's side. As expected, Lin Zhiyi just glanced at her and said, "Sorry, sister Mu, I still need to boil medicine for my father in that medicine pot."
Mu Yunzhao glanced at the carriage where Li Wenjing was, then left, planning to borrow money somewhere else.
In the end, she borrowed a medicine pot and promised to give the man a bowl of the boiled medicine, and the man agreed.
When the escort saw so many people falling down, he was worried that they would not be able to continue their journey in the afternoon and their trip would be delayed, so he became anxious.
If this continues, even if the one-month deadline arrives, we will not be able to arrive in Fangzhou to report.
The escort leader, Lord Zhang, went to discuss the matter with Eunuch Wang.
Eunuch Wang had no good solution either.
Finally, Eunuch Wang suggested, "You can ask Miss Lin. Miss Lin has medicine to treat colds. I was feeling unwell last night, and I took a bowl of the medicine this girl prepared. I feel much better today."
So, the bailiff found Lin Zhiyi again.
Of course Lin Zhiyi can't help for nothing.
"To be honest, sir, I did bring a lot of cold medicine, and I can provide you with medicine, but my medicine was not blown by the wind, and I don't want to do something that will not be appreciated.
If someone takes the medicine and their illness doesn't get better, and they die, it can't be blamed on me."
The head escort understood Lin Zhiyi's concerns and assured her, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, I'll take care of everything. No one can blame you."
With their assurance, Lin Zhiyi felt much more at ease.
She instructed Fang Mama and Chai Ya to boil the medicine.
Anyone who has suffered a stroke or cold can come to get medicine. If you have money, you can give some money appropriately. If you don’t have money, you can still get medicine.
But I also told them that there were only medicines for colds, no other medicines, and if they didn’t have a cold, they shouldn’t come to get medicine.
At the same time, Lin Zhiyi also put forward his own conditions to Mr. Zhang: to remove the light shackles for the male relatives of the Lin family's first branch, and allow the first and fourth branches of the Lin family to all ride in carriages to Fangzhou for the next ten days.
The officer agreed.
After the medicine was boiled, people came to Lin Zhiyi to get the medicine.
Only a few families were well prepared and did not catch a cold.
Mu Yunzhao never expected that Lin Zhiyi had prepared so many cold medicines.
Everyone praised Lin Zhiyi, some praised her kindness, some praised her beauty, and some even spoke up for Lin Zhiyi and scolded the Qin family for being so heartless.
Mu's mother, who was standing by, also received Lin Zhiyi's medicine and couldn't help but say, "That Miss Lin is really nice. I heard that she prepared enough medicine just for everyone."
