Gu Xinran thought about it and finally remembered something related to wine. She slapped her forehead and said, "The reward for disguising as a woman to fight bandits is two jars of wine and a bottle of medicine. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it!
I don't have so much wine with me right now, but I can cash in on the medicine."
After saying that, he took out a bottle of ordinary ginseng and antler pills from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him.
It was a pity that there was no wine, but medicine was also a good thing. Xiao Ba happily took it and put it in his arms.
Doctor Ling was very envious. Could a man disguise himself as a woman have such great rewards? It made him want to get involved with Ran girl too.
He snatched the medicine bottle from Xiao Ba's hand, opened it, smelled it, and returned it to him, praising him: "Good medicine! Good medicine that can save lives! Use it with care."
But what he was thinking in his heart was that the bottle given to him was better, and Ran Yatou treated him differently.
She didn't know what was going on in Doctor Ling's mind, but when she heard the sound of him swallowing his saliva, she felt that she was being too partial.
Forget it. Asking Dr. Ling to share the wine would be like cutting his flesh. It’s better not to make things difficult for this stingy man.
Gu Xinran took out another jar from the backpack and handed it to Xiao Ba, "This one is for you and the secret guard brothers to drink, but those of you who are injured can only taste it lightly. I owe you two jars, and I'll make it up to you when I get back."
Xiao Ba happily took it and thanked him.
The secret guard brothers drank the wine they had always dreamed of, perfect!
I just feel more and more annoyed with Xiao Ba. Why wasn't I the one who left with Miss Gu at that time?
Gu Xinran was too lazy to pay attention to their quarrel, so she picked up her backpack and went to accompany Xiao Mingzhan. The man who was collecting firewood had not returned, so she could not make porridge for the time being.
Looking at him lying there quietly, it was as if time had gone back to that narrow alley.
He was the same, lying there with a pale face, a straight nose and thin lips, extremely handsome.
It's just that it will be more fragile, like a fragile work of art, damn exquisite, and I want to protect it even more.
Gu Xinran reached out and gently stroked his face, which was fair and delicate, with a hint of coolness.
"Brother Xiao, I love your face so much, your skin is so good, when will you wake up?
I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you gave me such a big shock when I saw you!
And where did you get that bracelet of yours? Why is it the same as mine? Could it be that we are destined to be together..."
Gu Xinran muttered to herself as she gently stroked his smooth forehead, strong eyebrows, and straight nose. Her fingertips rested on his bloodless lips, which were pale but elastic.
Recalling the scene of feeding her the medicine, she blushed in hindsight. Her first kiss was gone without any feeling. She felt so sorry. She lowered her head and slowly moved closer...
"Ran girl, what are you looking at?"
Doctor Ling's voice came lightly, interrupting the evil thoughts in her mind.
Haha, luckily I was interrupted. It’s not okay to flirt with a patient!
Gu Xinran's hand quickly moved down and touched his carotid artery.
Ah! This pulse is not right, it is still weak, but the beat frequency is too fast. She quickly gave up her position, looking anxious, "Grandpa Ling, come and take a look, there seems to be something wrong."
"Oh!" Doctor Ling took two steps at a time and came to Xiao Mingzhan, took his pulse, stared at his face, but said nothing.
Gu Xinran was anxious, "What happened? Is it good or bad?"
Doctor Ling was also puzzled. Mingzhan was clearly still in a deep coma, so why was he so emotional? Was he dreaming?
"It's nothing serious, he's just emotionally unstable. It'll take a while for him to wake up in this state, so you should rest for a while."
Gu Xinran nodded in relief, thinking to herself, could it be because I touched him? Next time, I must control my hands and let him rest well.
Hey, Xiao Mingzhan, please wake up soon. I still have a lot of questions waiting for you to answer.
Forget it, don’t think too much, let’s deal with the problem at hand first. There is nothing here, and it’s damp and cold, not suitable for recuperation. Although supplies can be taken out from the space, it can’t be too much. It’s better to take them back to the Qingshan Village camp.
Gu Xinran tentatively asked, "Grandpa Ling, we're short of food and clothing here. Would you mind going back to the Qingshan Village camp with me?
Doctor Ling considered for a moment and said, "Very good, but it's dark now. You should rest here tonight. Mingzhan should be able to wake up tomorrow, and we can get his advice then."
Gu Xinran got the answer she wanted and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go get some food. You can take a good rest. You need to learn to take care of yourself when you get older."
After saying this, he looked at the empty cave with only a pile of hay, silently took out a thick quilt from his backpack, and handed it to Doctor Ling, "Cover yourself up and get some sleep. You've been so worried and frightened for so long, you look like you've aged ten years."
Doctor Ling looked at the girl who was chattering and making plans for him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. In his life, he was closest to Mingzhan and his mother, but none of them was as caring as this girl.
But this child is too good at concealing things. How can he take out an unlimited amount of things from these backpacks? I am not afraid that people will change their minds. I still have to remind him that he has to keep a secret.
Doctor Ling looked at her warmly, "Girl, be careful and don't take things out of the backpack."
Gu Xinran readily agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Take a good rest. I'll call you for some porridge later. It's super delicious."
Doctor Ling was indeed tired. He had been chasing people in the mountains for several days and was already exhausted.
Then the poison took effect on Xiao Mingzhan. He didn't close his eyes for almost a whole day and his whole body was tense. Without Ran Yatou's wine to support him, he might have fainted by now.
Doctor Ling felt deeply moved, thinking that Gu Xinran was really their benefactor. With her arrival, Mingzhan's poison was suppressed and she also saved them from danger. It was great!
He nodded, spread the quilt on the hay, cushioned it and covered it, and as soon as he lay down, he started snoring.
Gu Xinran turned and left, returning to the big cave where the secret guards were staying.
I saw Xiao Ba setting up a small stove not far from the cave entrance with a lot of firewood piled up, and Xiao Mei was washing rice.
Gu Xinran took the rice she had washed and asked her to help light the fire.
Put the washed millet into the casserole, add shredded ginger and diluted spring water, bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat.
Cut the roe deer meat and Chinese cabbage into shreds, add them into the porridge when it is almost done, and simmer until cooked. Add some salt and soy sauce to taste, and the delicious and sweet lean meat and vegetable porridge is ready.
The aroma of rice and meat spread in the cold cave, washing away the loneliness, warming people's hearts, and bringing the fireworks of life to the world.
Gu Xinran first filled a small pot and left it for Doctor Ling and Xiao Mingzhan.
She also ordered a big bowl for herself. After several hours of hard work, she was already starving.
The rest was given to Xiao Ba, Xiao Mei, and several other wounded soldiers to share. After eating, they had a good sleep. I hope they can be strong again tomorrow.
After eating, Gu Xinran carried the small pot to the cave where Xiao Mingzhan and Doctor Ling were resting.
He found Doctor Ling sitting in front of Xiao Mingzhan's bed, taking his pulse.
Gu Xinran's heart tightened. Could something have happened again? She asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Doctor Ling sighed, "Mingzhan just kept yelling 'No, no'. He might be having a nightmare."
