Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Do something for me
Mo Jinglian stayed in bed for nearly three days to recuperate.
Ye Xialan and the others were extremely anxious, just waiting for Zhu Niangzi's antibiotics to be prepared quickly. Every minute and every second of these three days was like torture for the three of them.
Zhu Shixi came three times a day to observe Mo Jinglian's condition.
Mo Jinglian lay on the bed, his whole face flushed due to violent coughing.
Ye Xialan and Tang Xing treated Zhu Shixi as a life-saving straw. Every time Zhu Shixi came and left, it would cause great psychological pressure on Ye Xialan.
Feng Ling took a leave of absence from his work at the manor and stayed with Mo Jinglian almost every step of the way.
Feng Ling's eyes welled up with tears. "Madam Zhu, these antibiotics aren't ready yet. Will it take so long?"
Zhu Shixi used all his acting skills to respond, "Madam Feng, antibiotics must be made fresh, otherwise they won't be effective. That's why I have to wait until Madam Mo arrives in Li County before I can make the medicine."
On the fourth night, it was dark.
Mo Jinglian's condition finally improved a little. He no longer coughed up blood, but the same blood streaks as before, but the coughing symptoms still did not ease.
Ye Xialan's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night.
Mo Jing herself was not feeling well either. She didn't want to die yet. She was still so young and had a lot of things to do.
Zhu Shixi finally appeared at this time with a maid.
The maid was holding a food box in her hand and standing obediently behind Zhu Shixi.
Feng Ling stood up excitedly and asked subconsciously, "But are the antibiotics ready?"
Zhu Shixi's eyes were bruised. "It was just made this afternoon. I rushed over after testing the efficacy of the medicine."
Ye Xialan and Tang Xing both subconsciously thought that the medicine would be black, so they helped Mo Jinglian up and placed a soft pillow behind him.
Zhu Shixi asked the maid to put the food box on the table, and opened it herself. In the candlelight, she could see a tall white porcelain bowl surrounded by ice cubes, with half a bowl of clear yellow liquid in it.
This was the first time Tang Xing had seen medicine of this color, and there was ice around it to keep it warm.
That's strange.
Zhu Shixi picked up the bowl and handed it to Ye Xialan, "Feed it to Madam Mo."
Feng Ling watched eagerly from the side, his dog eyes were wet, and he looked very pitiful.
Mo Jing drank all the garlic extract, but she felt that the taste was very strange, with a strong spicy feeling, even a little pungent.
Zhu Shixi also told them to get a good night's sleep tonight, saying she would check on their condition tomorrow morning. She also told the family members not to wait any longer, saying they had been up for three days and deserved some sleep.
Ye Xialan refused, saying that they had already endured three days, and one more day wouldn't make a difference. She only let Tang Xing and Feng Ling rest.
The other two naturally refused, so the three of them just endured it together.
Lin Si estimated that Mo Jinglian's symptoms would be alleviated by more than half when he woke up tonight. Although allicin was not as potent as penicillin and it was a crude version, the effect of antibiotics should be immediate for ancient people who had never been exposed to them since childhood.
Mo Jinglian hardly slept for these three days and was almost in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
After hearing what Zhu Shixi said, she decided to close her eyes and see if she could fall asleep.
Mo Jinglian didn't know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up the next day, she felt that her body, which had been as heavy as a thousand pounds, had become more than half lighter, because the symptoms of shortness of breath and rapid breathing caused by coughing had disappeared.
She could clearly feel that she had gotten much better. This antibiotic was truly a miracle drug. She couldn't help but regret her suspicion of Lin Si. If she had come with Feng Ling at the beginning, this disease might have been cured long ago. Why would it have been delayed until now?
Seeing that Mo Jinglian had woken up, Ye Xialan hurriedly asked, "Miaomiao, are you feeling better?"
Mo Jinglian was sweating all over last night. She sat up slightly and said, "Mother, I feel almost better now. I feel much better now."
Ye Xialan was frightened all night and choked up as she said, "That's good, that's good."
Tang Xing couldn't help but praise, "It seems that this antibiotic is really a miracle drug. If it were in Shuozhou, it would be worth a thousand gold."
Tang Xing was young, and after confirming that Mo Jinglian was fine, he couldn't help but fall asleep on the table.
The heavy stone hanging in Feng Ling's heart finally fell, "I said Madam Zhu is really a miracle doctor."
Zhu Shixi also arrived very early. She took Mo Jinglian's pulse and only told him to rest well these days. He needed to take the medicine for five days and not to travel immediately after taking it. It would be best for him to recuperate in Li County for a while.
Facing Ye Xialan's thanks, Zhu Shixi just smiled and said, "If you want to thank her, please ask Madam Mo to thank the county lady in person after she recovers."
Mo Jinglian still had a cough on the first day after taking the medicine, but on the second day he didn't cough much and his condition gradually stabilized, getting better day by day.
Mo Jinglian's condition was stable. Feng Ling received Lin Si's order and took Ye Xialan and Tang Xing out for a walk.
It was a rare sight to see strangers in Li County, and judging from their attire, they were not from an ordinary family. The people were initially skeptical, but when they heard that they were guests of the county lord and Lady Feng, their attitude changed 360 degrees.
Ye Xialan was not arrogant. Facing the people's curiosity, she always maintained a proper smile. "My last name is Ye, you can just call me Madam Ye."
Kang Zhuqing was joining in the fun and was seen by Feng Ling.
Shi Jin is now also a staff member of the County Lord's Mansion and occasionally comes to have work meals. Although Feng Ling and Kang Zhuqing are not familiar with each other, they have exchanged a few words.
Feng Ling tugged at Kang Zhuqing's sleeve and said, "Madam Kang, I was just about to take them to see the waterwheel. How about we go to your land?"
There was no reason for Kang Zhuqing to refuse. After nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, he took the initiative to lead the way, and he couldn't stop praising Lin Si all the way.
"I'm just saying that the people of Li County are lucky to have such a good county lady. I even have a kang at home, which keeps us warm in the winter. If Madam Ye wants to see it, please come to my house later."
Ye Xialan and Tang Xing were very curious about everything in Li County, so there was naturally no reason for them to refuse.
Ye Xialan looked at the wheat growing beautifully in the fields. "I heard that the land in Li County was barren, but now I see that the wheat is growing very well."
Kang Zhuqing smiled brightly, "It's all thanks to the county lady's improved farm tools and fertilizing methods. Otherwise, how could we have such a good harvest?"
Going further ahead is a small waterwheel that operates day and night.
Feng Ling pointed to the rotating wooden wheel and the bamboo tube that continuously pumped and drained water. "This is the waterwheel that moves on its own. I couldn't explain it to you when you asked me to on the day we came to Li County. I might as well just show it to you directly."
Kang Zhuqing nodded and said, "This waterwheel is very useful. It irrigates the fields day and night, saving people from having to fetch water. I don't know how the county lady came up with this idea."
It was the first time Tang Xing and Ye Xialan had seen a small waterwheel. They stood there in amazement for a long time, "It actually moves on its own."
Tang Xing looked at it for a long time, then stood closer, trying to figure out the trick.
Kang Zhuqing talked about the honeycomb coal from a few days ago. Ye Xialan and Tang Xing had used it when they were guarding Mo Jinglian. It was indeed much more convenient to use it to boil water than firewood.
On the way back from Kang Zhuqing's house, Lin Si's image had already risen a lot in Ye Xialan's mind.
I didn't expect that this young county lady is so capable.
Tang Xing's understanding of Li County was completely overturned, especially the waterwheel. What exactly is the secret of it? It really makes him puzzled.
When the three of them returned to the room, Mo Jinglian had already gotten out of bed and was walking around on his own.
Ye Xialan and Feng Ling hurried forward to help him, "Why did you get out of bed by yourself? Madam Zhu said you need to rest more."
Mo Jinglian: "Mother, I have been lying in bed for many days. I want to get out of bed and walk around."
After five days of taking allicin, Mo Jinglian has almost recovered and feels that there is no problem for her to get out of bed and walk.
Ye Xialan refused to do so and quickly asked her to go back and lie down, and brought her some warm water to drink.
This is what Zhu Shixi repeatedly reminded me of: you must drink boiled water.
Mo Jinglian drank the water and asked, "Mother, did you see the waterwheel that moved by itself today?"
Speaking of this, Ye Xialan and Tang Xing nodded repeatedly.
"That waterwheel is amazing. Not only does it turn on its own, it can actually irrigate the land day and night. I even went to a woman's house to see the kang. Li County is cold in the winter, and they said that if they lit a fire in the kitchen, the kang would be very warm, and even the whole house would be warm."
Tang Xing added, "I heard that the Anping County Lord has improved agricultural tools and soil fertilization methods. The crops in Li County are now growing very well."
Mo Jinglian recuperated for nine days before finally getting out of bed despite Ye Xialan's strong opposition.
Zhu Shixi came to see her and said that she was not seriously injured, and Ye Xialan was relieved.
The first thing Mo Jinglian did after getting out of bed was not to work, but to go see Lin Si.
Her life has been saved, and it is time to thank Lin Si and repay him for what he asked for.
Mo Jinglian didn't let Ye Xialan follow him, but went to the County Lord's Mansion alone.
The house where she was temporarily staying was not far from the county lord's mansion. Mo Jinglian felt that the air was sweet all the way.
She no longer coughs from time to time, and no longer experiences sudden chest tightness and shortness of breath. She is now a healthy person.
The maid led Mo Jinglian into the study. When Mo Jinglian walked in, Lin Si was already sitting upright.
Lin Si spoke first: "Mrs. Mo looks very good. She is almost recovered from her illness."
Mo Jinglian lowered his posture and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life, County Master. I know I can never repay you. Please tell me what you want."
Lin Si was not in a hurry to speak, but just asked, "Will you give me everything I want?"
"As long as I have it and the county lady wants it." Mo Jinglian answered firmly.
Lin Si slightly bent his elbows and supported himself on the table, his palms holding the chubby cheeks, his deer eyes smiling into two crescent moons.
"Then I want you."
This answer was something Mo Jinglian had never imagined. She was caught off guard and stood there in a daze.
Lin Si wants himself?
Mo Jinglian had to deeply interpret what this meant. Did he want her to stay in Li County like Feng Ling?
Feng Ling at least has some martial arts skills, but I have nothing. Why would the county lady say she wants me?
Before Mo Jinglian finished his brainstorming session, Lin Si spoke again.
"I want you and your family to move to Li County and give up your papermaking business in Shuozhou. And you have to work for me."
