[Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Looking for Medicine]
There was a trace of confusion in Shen Junshan’s eyes.
Apparently he had only thought about how to find medicine and had not considered this problem at all.
Facing his father's gaze, he was stunned for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Can't we just grind it into powder and mix it with the medicine juice and watch them take it like this time?"
Prime Minister Shen shook his head seriously: "No."
Before, the disease had just started and people were in a panic. In addition, there were not enough Chinese medicine doctors in the military camp, so the son had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Now the matter has alarmed the palace, and even the emperor has personally ordered the imperial physician to go and treat the case.
In this case, wanting to add a large amount of medicinal powder into the boiled medicine juice is not nonsense!
If it is really discovered, how to explain it?
That's when you fail to help others and end up hurting yourself!
Prime Minister Shen looked at his son, who was like an iron tower in front of him, and thought of his straightforward character, knowing that he could not rely on him for such a matter.
He could only sigh again and said, "Write to your sister first, and I will figure out the rest."
Shen Yuyao had just finished lunch when she received the letter.
Cheng Liyan was washing dishes and she was opening the snacks that Qiao An had brought her.
What Qiao An brought was a large crispy fruit with sesame seeds all over the skin, which was fried in oil. Shen Yuyao had never seen this kind of fruit before, let alone eaten it.
She was a little curious about the taste.
Just then, she felt a slight vibration in the hut and knew that it was her mother who had delivered something again.
What should I give as a gift at this time?
Shen Yuyao was a little strange.
She sank her consciousness into the hut, and then she saw a wooden box next to the small bowl.
She opened the wooden box and saw a carved wooden sword and a letter inside.
Shen Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then simply took out the letter and the box.
Cheng Liyan had just finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen when he saw a wooden box appear out of nowhere on the dining table.
He couldn't help but twitch his face.
Fortunately, he is now able to remain calm in the face of adversity.
He adjusted his mood slightly, then came over curiously and asked, "What did mother give you again?"
Shen Yuyao shook her head: "This is not a gift from my mother."
As she spoke, she took out the roughly carved wooden sword, which was not delicate at all, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
She said, "This should be a gift from my second elder brother. I kept pestering him to buy me a sword, but he refused. He said that a girl shouldn't play with such things.
I was unhappy, so he coaxed me into making one for me. It turned out that what he meant by making one for me was just carving a wooden sword to fool me!"
Shen Yuyao said words of disdain, but she held the wooden sword in her hand and looked at it repeatedly, her joy was beyond words.
"You like this thing? Then I would too."
Cheng Liyan said, "I'll carve a wooden pistol for you tomorrow. I promise it will be more exquisite than the one your second brother carved."
He looked at the wooden sword again, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a half-finished product.
It seems that it is not yet finished.
I just think that anything I do will look better than this!
But Cheng Liyan didn't dare to say that.
"Why do I need that thing? It's for kids to play with." Shen Yuyao said with a smile.
After saying that, he picked up the letter.
Looking at the handwriting on the envelope, she raised her eyebrows: "It was written by my second brother. He sent me a sword and wrote a letter, so he must have something to ask of me."
As he said this, he curled his lips and said, "He has been like this since he was a child."
Having said that, you can tell from her expression that she is happy and not really disgusted.
But after she took out the letter and read a few lines, all the happiness disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Liyan noticed it immediately and asked.
Shen Yuyao had quickly finished reading the letter at this moment, and when she heard him ask this, she handed the letter over.
Cheng Liyan took it and read it, and couldn't help but frowned.
"The epidemic." He said slowly.
Shen Yuyao's expression became nervous.
"My second brother and I have been to the military camp outside the city, which is less than 20 miles away from the capital. If the epidemic cannot be controlled, I don't know if it will spread to the capital."
She clenched the wooden sword tightly: "Even if we don't mention the capital, there are still hundreds of soldiers in the barracks..."
Thinking of the many people in danger and the possible consequences of this incident, Shen Yuyao didn't dare to think about it any further.
Cheng Liyan's brows also frowned.
He knew that if the matter was not urgent, his second uncle would not have written this letter.
He still remembered the cautious attitude of his brother-in-law when he asked for medicine for his mother-in-law. It was obvious that he did not want to put his sister in any difficult position.
The same is true at this moment.
Even though the matter written in the letter was so serious that it could not be delayed, the second uncle repeatedly told them not to be anxious, not to make things too difficult, and not to do anything dangerous.
Cheng Liyan sighed, feeling that not only did this matter have to be done, but it also had to be done immediately and done well!
Hearing her husband sigh, Shen Yuyao became uneasy.
She knew that this matter put her husband in a difficult position.
She had also gone to Sister Han to ask for medicine before, and she knew how difficult it was.
At first, she just wanted the medicine that her mother took alone, but she was asked all kinds of questions and was forced to make up a story to get by.
What’s more, this time my second brother wants so much!
Or it was right after my husband asked for a lot of medicine to be sent back.
Shen Yuyao looked up at Cheng Liyan, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
She wanted to tell him not to make things difficult for himself and just forget about it if it really didn't work out.
But she couldn't say it.
She knew how anxiously her second brother was waiting over there.
She also knew that since her second brother could write this letter and send it to her, her father and mother must have agreed to it, otherwise he would not have been able to send it.
She could even imagine how angry her mother would be because of this matter!
But even so, the letter still arrived.
That means the matter has become so serious that even A Niang has to agree.
Her mind was in a mess and her expression became uncertain.
There is anxiety, worry, and entanglement...all kinds of complexity.
Looking at her little appearance, Cheng Liyan couldn't help laughing.
He poked his wife's forehead with his finger and said, "It's a big deal. Look how worried you are. Leave it to me. I will get the medicine back to my second brother as soon as possible."
Besides, I won't be back for dinner tonight. I'm going back to the group to discuss things with Lao Yan."
"Can Political Commissar Yan come up with a solution?" Shen Yuyao asked.
"Who knows?" Cheng Liyan said, "Let's try it. Let's try them all."
Although berberine is not a military material that needs to be controlled, it is not an easy task to get dozens of bottles at one time, and to get them quickly.
Cheng Liyan felt that he would definitely not be able to get it from Sister Han. Even if he found various reasons, he could at most get one or two bottles.
If there are any more... Uncle Ye will probably have to question him.
How will he explain it then?
Now he could only think of a way from the regiment and see how much stock the regiment’s clinic had.
But Cheng Liyan felt it was a bit risky.
Berberine is a thing that most people can take to treat diarrhea in one or two days. The health center always gives six pills in a pack, and if they give nine pills, it means the condition is serious.
Cheng Liyan felt that the group wouldn't have much inventory.
