Chapter 40 Meng Yunlan is seriously ill
Nan Chu looked at Meng Yunlan with concern and said:
"Brother Meng, you have been coughing since this morning. Could it be that you have caught a cold? Otherwise, let's talk to Miss Meng and my wife and find a doctor to see you."
After hearing this, Meng Yunlan coughed lightly and shook his head:
"Well, no need. At this speed, we should be in Tongcheng by tomorrow evening. Don't delay your trip because of me."
"Don't worry, my cough is an old illness that recurs every year when the seasons change. There are pills in the car, and I will just take two pills later."
After hearing this, Nan Chu breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:
"That's good. I just need the pills. Don't let it get serious. A cold is no small matter. Last time, my father also had a persistent cough and almost died."
Meng Yunlan was afraid that Nan Chu would worry, so he went to inform his sister and Su Yuan. He didn't want to be a burden to the team, so he endured it.
But after holding it in for a long time, I just felt my throat itchy and painful.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Meng Yunlan couldn't hold it in after all. After a heart-wrenching cough, he felt a stream of fishy and salty liquid pouring out of his throat.
An ominous feeling came over me.
Meng Yunlan pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, calmly covered her face with her wide sleeves, covered her lips with the handkerchief, and coughed twice.
When he took it down again, he caught a glimpse of bright red blood, and he quietly put it into his arms.
When Meng Yunlan put down his sleeves again, his face looked calm and there was no sign of anything wrong.
Nan Chu saw him like this, frowned and advised:
"Brother Meng, take the pills quickly. If you keep coughing like this, your body may not be able to bear it."
Seeing that Nanchu actually cared about her so much, Meng Yunlan raised the corners of her thin lips slightly, and said to Wenqing who was guarding the car door:
"Wenqing, go get me the pills from the secret compartment."
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Nan Chu and said:
"I'll eat right away. Now Brother Nan doesn't have to worry about me."
Nan Chu nodded, blinked her almond eyes and said:
"Well, you'll feel better after taking the medicine."
Let’s not talk about the episode on their side for now.
The other side.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Meng Yunqiao asked the coachman to stop the carriage on the side of the road to eat some dry food and continue on his journey later.
She and Su Yuan stayed in the car and did not get off.
Meng Yunqiao took out two pancakes from the cloth bag hanging on the side and handed them to Su Yuan, saying casually:
"Yes, eat some dry food to fill your stomach. There is no cake left in the carriage. We only have some emergency bread."
Su Yuan took the hard round cake, brought it to his mouth, took a big bite, and said slowly:
"It doesn't matter what we eat, as long as we can save time. We have been traveling day and night, so I think we can reach Tongcheng by tomorrow afternoon, right?"
Meng Yunqiao nodded and agreed:
"Yes, we can get into the city at 3 p.m. tomorrow. I calculated, and it's not bad. It will take two days and one night in total, which is comparable to taking a shortcut."
"Once we cross the Pingji Bridge tomorrow morning, we will reach Tongzhou. Hehe, then I will feel at ease."
Su Yuan leaned back against the wall of the car, looked at Meng Yunqiao nonchalantly and said:
"Well, I hope so."
I don’t know what’s going on.
She always felt that things would not be so peaceful.
As the two chatted for a while, the driver outside finished his dry food and continued to drive on the road. After the driver changed two shifts in succession.
The night gradually faded away, a hint of paleness began to appear in the sky, and dawn finally arrived.
Now that day has come, there is no need to travel at night anymore.
Meng Yunqiao ordered the driver outside to drive faster, mainly because they were about to enter Tongzhou and she was eager to return home.
A group of people moved forward quickly.
Unexpectedly, a loud shout made Meng Yunqiao even more anxious.
"The young master is vomiting blood. Hurry, stop the car."
Wen Qing was so frightened by the large pool of blood on his master's chest that his face turned pale.
He hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood off Meng Yunlan with trembling hands, and shouted outside to stop the car.
After the carriage stopped.
Wen Qing asked Nan Chu to look after the young master, and he stumbled down the carriage and came to the last carriage and shouted:
"Miss, the young master suddenly vomited blood, please go and take a look."
Meng Yunqiao saw the team suddenly stop and was wondering why.
The next moment, I was caught off guard and heard Wenqing's words.
Meng Yunqiao was so frightened that he ran off the carriage in panic, rushed to the carriage where Meng Yunlan was, and climbed up using his hands and feet.
She pulled aside the curtain and saw her brother, who always had a proper posture, lying on his back in Nan Chu's arms with his eyes closed and covered in blood.
Meng Yunlan's face was facing the door of the carriage.
At this time, his face was pale and blood was still oozing from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto his chest and staining his clothes bright red.
The smell of blood filled the carriage, making Meng Yunqiao tremble all over in panic. She staggered, holding onto the wall of the car, and barely walked in front of Meng Yunlan.
Meng Yunqiao stretched out a finger tremblingly and placed it under Meng Yunlan's nose to probe.
Huh, brother is still alive.
Meng Yunqiao exhaled with a trembling breath, and felt his whole body go limp. He fell infinitely downwards, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
She stared at her brother with panicked eyes, gasping for breath.
My mind is in a mess at the moment, I can't focus, and my thoughts are in disarray.
Meng Yunqiao calmed down a bit, then slapped himself hard on the cheek.
This action immediately made her much clearer.
Meng Yunqiao was furious and turned to Wenxiu and asked:
"What happened to make you look like this? Tell me quickly."
Wen Xiu's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up and said:
"Sir, the young master's old illness recurred yesterday and he couldn't stop coughing, but he said nothing was wrong and didn't let us go to inform you. He woke up this morning and first coughed violently, then vomited a large pool of blood and passed out."
"Then, you came here, young lady, and saw this."
After Meng Yunqiao ran out of the carriage, Su Yuan followed him. After listening to Wen Xiu's words, she frowned and said:
"Since it is an old illness, is there any medicine in this carriage? Now there is no village or store, so I can only take some medicine for the symptoms first, and then rush to Tongcheng to see a doctor."
After hearing this, Meng Yunqiao yelled at Wenxiu:
"Hurry up and boil some water. Bring me the pills you prepared. Dissolve them in water and serve them to me."
After yelling at Wenxiu, he frowned and ordered Wenqing:
"Come here and clean up the young master."
"Yes." After Wenxiu and Wenqing answered, one of them fetched the medicine and boiled water to dissolve the pills and feed them to the young master, while the other went to help Meng Yunlan clean up the bloodstains.
After the two servants finished serving Meng Yunlan, Meng Yunqiao took Su Yuan back to the last carriage and told the driver to slow down and continue to rush to Tongcheng.
