Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Can't Wait Any Longer
Although he was going, he needed to prepare travel documents, pack his luggage, and prepare a carriage. As luck would have it, two days before his departure, Mo Jinglian's cough worsened and he even coughed up blood.
This scared Mo Yu and Ye Xialan so much that they hurriedly advised her not to go and to recuperate at home. If the doctors in Shuozhou couldn't cure her, they would seek help from other doctors.
But Mo Jinglian knew clearly that if she didn't go to Li County, she might really die! In her dream, she had consulted almost all the doctors in Dachen.
Tang Xing is the son of A Niang's best friend. His entire family lost their lives in earthquakes and floods, and he was later taken in by the Mo family. The ten-year-old boy tugged at Mo Jinglian's sleeve.
"I'm going with my sister. I'm going to protect her."
It is definitely not possible for Mo Jinglian to go alone. Tang Xing is still young, but if both parents go, there will be no one to take care of the business.
Mo Yu and Ye Xialan argued heatedly for a long time about this.
In the end, Ye Xialan won the spot to go to Li County.
Although it was decided that Ye Xialan would accompany him, Ye Xialan still advised Mo Jinglian not to travel.
But this time, Mo Jinglian was like a stubborn donkey, and no matter how the two tried to persuade him, he refused to give in.
Although it is just a trip to Li County, there are many things to prepare. In addition to simple necessities, when meeting the county lord Lin Si, you also need to bring some gifts that are suitable for your status.
Ye Xialan was feeling anxious and nervous. Mo Jinglian was her only child. Seeing her cough getting better and worse, and even coughing up blood a few days ago, she felt heartbroken and wished she could suffer for her.
Ye Xialan didn’t know whether Li Xian could really cure Mo Jinglian.
Not only Ye Xialan, but Mo Jing herself was also unsure.
The mother, daughter, and Tang Xing embarked on this uneasy journey.
When the letter reached Feng Ling, Mo Jinglian had already left for several days. Feng Ling was overjoyed after reading the letter. He first found Lin Si and said with tears in his eyes: "Miao Miao is finally willing to come for treatment. Madam Zhu will definitely cure her, right?"
Lin Si didn't look surprised at all, and only smiled: "Of course, Madam Zhu, you still don't believe in her medical skills, right? Isn't your hypoglycemia cured now?"
Feng Ling finally felt relieved. "Then I won't go fishing from today on. I will go to the county gate every day to guard it."
After Feng Ling came back from Shuozhou, he went fishing every day. The carp finally learned their lesson and Feng Ling could no longer catch them all at once.
Feng Ling was very satisfied with this. After releasing the dumbest carp that was always caught, he clapped his hands and said, "It's challenging to catch smart fish like you!"
Feng Ling left happily. Lin Si's expression did not change. He still smiled and asked Chunyi to call Zhu Shixi over.
Zhu Shixi had been immersed in the experiment of the medicinal properties of allicin for a while, so much so that the entire county lord's mansion was filled with a faint smell of garlic.
Lin Si first asked her how allicin was made.
Zhu Shixi raised his head slightly with a hint of pride, "I was just planning to tell the county lady that after these days of experiments, I have mastered the trick of how to produce allicin with medicinal properties."
Zhu Shixi was about to talk to Lin Si about the key point, but Lin Si interrupted her.
Lin Si propped his chin on his hand, "Mo Jinglian has decided to come to Li County for treatment."
Zhu Shixi's eyes lit up when he heard this. "That's perfect! If she takes allicin for a few days, I guarantee her illness will be cured."
Lin Si raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his deer-like eyes were filled with a hint of cunning.
"Calculating the time, it should take several days for Mo Jinglian to come here. You should find a way to prepare a medicine to make her cough more severe, but not to damage the root cause. It would be best if she looks completely weak."
Zhu Shixi's eyes widened even more, and she quickly covered her mouth with both hands, "County Lady, this is... this is..."
This lasted for a long time, and then he said, "Are you going to threaten Madam Mo?"
Before Lin Si could respond, Zhu Shixi continued, "I understand. I promise to make her condition look extremely serious. Then we will threaten her. If she doesn't obey you and doesn't give you what you want, then she will die. Since the county lady wants it, I will definitely let her get it!"
Lin Si was immediately amused.
In front is the silly and cute Shiqi Feng Ling, and behind is the evil silver-gradient Zhu Shixi, what a pair of young dragons and lying phoenixes.
She has both cats and dogs.
"That's not the case. It's not as exaggerated as you think. Besides, do I look like that kind of person?" Lin Si was puzzled.
Is he some kind of devil?
Zhu Shixi almost blurted out "You are it", but swallowed it back in time.
"What does the county lady mean?" Zhu Shixi asked cautiously.
"Just make her symptoms look more serious so you can cure her later."
Zhu Shixi understood now, "In this case, Madam Mo has received your life-saving grace, which is a great favor. You want her to take out what you want herself."
Zhu Shixi gave Lin Si a thumbs up, "As expected of a county lady."
"But remember, this medicine cannot harm her body. Just mix it in water and let her drink it on the first day."
"I understand."
Feng Ling gets up early every morning and is no longer the last person to have breakfast or work lunch.
She would wait at the county gate for the entire morning, go back for lunch, go to the manor for class, and then wait again after class.
She waited like this for seven days, and later even the county government took the initiative to greet her.
Feng Ling finally saw Mo Jinglian's ox cart.
During the bumpy journey, Mo Jinglian's cough became more and more intermittent. He coughed severely yesterday, but it was better today. Seeing such torture, Ye Xialan and Tang Xing were anxious and heartbroken. They just wanted to get to Li County as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Tang Xing had sharp eyes and saw the words "Li County" written in large letters on a stone tablet in the distance.
"Aunt Ye, we're here!"
Feng Ling almost ran out to greet him, and the servant's ox cart drove slowly for fear of bumping Mo Jinglian.
Feng Ling quickly climbed into the car to check on Mo Jinglian's condition and saw that she looked much more haggard than the last time they met.
Feng Ling's eyes began to tear up again. "I told you to come earlier, but you didn't listen."
Ye Xialan's eyes were filled with tears. "A Ling, do you think this Madam Zhu is really that powerful?"
Feng Ling nodded, "Aunt Ye, you believe me."
Tang Xing's pair of distinct black and white eyes drooped slightly, "I believe in Sister Feng too."
Liang Nian had informed the county government in advance, and since Feng Ling was sitting in Mo Jinglian's ox cart, he was naturally allowed to pass.
The ox cart was big enough for Feng Ling to sit in. After entering the county, Feng Ling lifted the curtain and gave instructions.
"Ox carts must keep to the left and give way to pedestrians."
As soon as Feng Ling finished speaking, before the servants could adjust their positions, a girl pointed at the carriage and shouted angrily, "Whose carriage is this? How can you be so ignorant of the rules? You don't even know to keep to the left. Who are you?"
The girl's words quickly alerted those around her, "That's right, this ox cart looks very unfamiliar."
"This isn't the county lady's oxcart. The county lady's oxcart isn't this nice-looking."
Mo Jinglian's ox cart is different from Lin Si's and Zuo You's. Not only is it exquisitely carved, but it is also hung with mosquito repellent incense balls. It is very eye-catching when it is driving on the street.
The servant had never seen such a scene before, and he looked at Feng Ling for help.
Feng Ling immediately came out and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. This is my best friend. It's her first time in Li County and she doesn't know the rules. She hasn't had time to adjust her position yet. I hope everyone can understand."
As an "employee" of the county lord's mansion, Feng Ling went out to the manor to attend classes every day. A few days ago, he was waiting for people at the county gate, so the people were familiar with him.
"Oh, it's Madam Feng, then it's okay."
"Madam Feng has been waiting for this ox cart at the county gate every day these days, right?"
The people scattered.
Mo Jinglian seemed to have seen something strange, and even then he didn't feel so bad anymore.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of such a rule.”
Ye Xialan also nodded, "In Shuozhou, horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts are everywhere in the streets. There is no such thing as courtesy to pedestrians."
Feng Ling nodded, "This is the rule set by the county lord."
Tang Xing lifted the curtain and saw that the people were walking on the right and the ox carts were driving on the left, which was much safer this way.
Mo Jinglian looked at the streets of Li County curiously. Although the streets of Li County were a bit shabby, they were clean. The most important thing was that the spirit of the people was completely different from that of the people in Shuozhou. Everyone had a smile on their face, as if they were full of expectations for their future life.
It seems that Princess Anping is indeed as Feng Ling said, a good princess who loves her people like her own children.
Feng Ling saw the three people's surprised and curious expressions, and for some reason, he felt a sense of pride and started to introduce them.
"The people of Li County are so lucky! The county lord just built a waterwheel that turns on its own a few days ago, so the people don't have to water the fields themselves. And there's honeycomb coal. Just put a pot of water in it, and it boils in a few words. Not to mention the kangs and the cotton cloth that's about to be developed."
They were all unfamiliar words, and the three people were surprised when they heard them.
"Don't need to irrigate it yourself? There's a working waterwheel?" Tang Xing's eyes almost popped out.
"What is honeycomb coal?" Mo Jinglian asked curiously.
"What kind of cloth is cotton?" Why have I never heard of it?
Feng Ling scratched his head. "It's too complicated to explain. You'll know everything after spending a few days in Li County."
There are no post stations or hotels in Li County, but there are some abandoned houses that no one has repaired. Liang Nian sent people to clean up a house near the county lord's mansion and added furniture to it. Although it is not a luxurious residence, it looks clean.
Feng Ling took the group to put their things in the residence, and then brought them into the reception room of the county lord's mansion.
Chunyi and several maids politely served tea. Chunyi handed the tea bowl to Mo Jinglian and said, "My lady, you have been tired from the journey. Please have some tea."
Mo Jing drank half a bowl of tea and finally waited for Lin Si to come over.
Although he knew that Lin Si was not very old, Mo Jinglian still felt a little bit disconnected when he saw a little girl becoming the head of this territory. Lin Si had no jewelry in her hair, only two hairbands hanging on her shoulders, and the peach blossom patterned half-sleeve she wore was obviously made of high-quality silk gauze.
Although he is small, he has a big aura.
This was Mo Jinglian’s first impression of Lin Si.
The three of them quickly stood up and saluted, "Greetings to the County Master."
Lin Si slowly walked up to the seat of honor, "Feng Ling has been looking forward to seeing Madam Mo and her family for a long time, and they are finally here to visit."
None of the three dared to look up. Ye Xialan's voice trembled a little. "It's really that Miaomiao's condition has worsened, and it's not easy for her to travel. I didn't mean to offend the county lady's kindness. I hope the county lady can save Miaomiao's life."
Lin Si smiled faintly, "Since Madam Mo is Feng Ling's good friend, how could I stand by and watch her die? I just hope that Madam Mo can remember this life-saving grace."
Zhu Shixi calculated the time for the drug to take effect and came to the reception room.
She pretended to be disappointed with Mo Jinglian and took his pulse. "Last time, I told you to come back to Li County with me. Your condition has worsened so quickly. Could it be that you've been too worried and overworked recently?"
Ye Xialan looked distressed, "Miaomiao is indeed a little worried about some business matters."
Feng Ling was furious, "It's that damn Jiang Paper again!"
Because there was no guarantee that Mo Jinglian would come back that day, the allicin prepared by Zhu Shixi would not be ready for her to eat as soon as she arrived.
"There is indeed a medicine called antibiotic that can cure this fungal pneumonia, but you have to wait a day or two."
Tang Xing sniffed, "We can wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Jinglian started coughing violently, and there was a mouthful of blood in the handkerchief, which was much more serious than the previous bloodshot.
Ye Xialan had never seen such a scene before, and she burst into tears immediately, "If anything happens to Miaomiao, I will die!"
"Help Madam Mo go back and rest first." Lin Si's face was full of concern. Then he turned to Zhu Shixi and said, "Make antibiotics as soon as possible. Madam Mo's condition is not good enough to wait any longer."
