Chapter 503 The Difficulty of Medicine

"Cough, cough ...... cough ...... cough ......" In the wind and snow, the carriage that was worn out to the point of leaking on all sides was trudging along under the pull of two worn out horses.

Outside the car, more than a dozen knights who looked exhausted, yet still alert, arched around and stumbled.

Several steeds were scattered among the riders, and inches of snow had accumulated on the empty saddles. Occasionally a bold sparrow fell, hopped for a while, and swiftly flew away.

Near the wagon, there were two other lines of hoofprints into the distance, seemingly scouts sent out by this party.

The line traveled in silence.

Only violent coughing sounds came out of the carriage from time to time, causing Teng Zongqi outside the carriage to frown from time to time, revealing a look of worry.

Inside the car, the wooden-looking Shen Shujing supported Deng Bengbeng who was coughing to death in their group, the leaders Pei Jie, Deng Zongqi and Gu Xinian had all sharpened their skills in bitterly cold borderlands like Donghu and Xilang, and although they had traveled in haste on a cold day, they weren't too sick to get sick.

Among the women, Wei Changying and Gu Rouzhang have both acquired martial arts skills and have also stayed in Xilang, so apart from being tired, they are still fine. Deng bending and Shen Shujing's body is the most delicate, but Shen Shujing to this time although because of the pain and family forever, the original spirit of the girl actually some wooden, the body is still into.

But Teng Bend is from the next day after their breakout contracted a wind chill, high fever has not receded not to mention that the cough is more and more powerful.

Although they are now more than 100 miles away from the imperial capital, the middle is also separated by a few small hills, snow can also cover the tracks, think not to meet a large group of Rong people. But these days there are as many bandits as there are hairs, after the breakout, their guards are only left with a mere ten people, not to mention large-scale bandits, that is, the county's big families have a little bit of mischief, it is difficult to cope with.

It's still not safe.

So although they saw the city in the middle, they didn't even dare to approach it because several people in the group didn't have reliable cronies or clansmen within.

When he passed through a few small towns before, Teng Zongqi dived in alone to try to find a doctor, only to find that these places were by and large nine out of ten empty, and it was hard to find even a living person, let alone a doctor. Now Teng Bend can only just follow the team.

Good thing Teng Zongqi found a carriage the day before yesterday, although the rags can't block the wind, can finally let the women get on the car to rest.

At this time, Wei Changying also took advantage of the carriage, as well as from their own parcels out of the large and small porcelain bottles, wooden bottles Huang's preparations really came in handy, but slow!

She turned over the bottles and jars, following ...... with Gu Rouzhang face to face, "Which one should it be?"

"Are there really medicines that can cure wind-cold in there?" Gu Rouzhang asked skeptically as she looked at the dazzling array of scenes in the modest carriage.

Wei Changying hesitated and said, "There should be some. Auntie Huang said that all the usual medicines are in there. Wind chill is not something that is often used, especially when it is cold like today. Especially when it's cold like today, Auntie Huang is very careful, so it's unlikely that she wouldn't have prepared it." Thinking of that loyal old servant, Wei Changying's heart ached, and he paused before finishing his sentence.

"In that case, when you contracted wind-cold in the past, Auntie Huang must have given you some?" Gu Rouzhang picked up a porcelain bottle and opened it, saying, "Which one do you think looks like it?"

"...... This, the most recent time I caught a wind chill was before I left the pavilion, and at that time, Aunt Huang hadn't served me yet." Wei Chang Ying opened the other one, poured out a handful of vermillion colored pills, and sniffed, "This doesn't smell quite like it."

Gu Rou Zhang sniffed the bottle he opened, "What kind of flavor is it?"

"Uh, it was a soupy ...... where can I remember after all these years?"

"Then how do you say it doesn't look like it?"

"...... guessed." Wei Chang Ying bit his lip and handed the medicine to Teng Beng Beng, "Beng Beng, you smell it? If it feels better, maybe it is?"

Gu Rouzhang busily called out, "Slowly, slowly! What kind of medicine did Auntie Huang give you? There won't be any that can't be taken indiscriminately?"

"I don't know, at that time, time was tight, so Auntie said that she put in all the ones she might use on the road." Wei Chang Ying's face, which was slightly whitened by the cold wind blowing into the car, flushed with embarrassment, "I usually don't ask my aunt about her medicines either."

Her body is good, in addition to pregnancy and childbirth, it is busy Huang will give her some supplemental energy tonic ...... but those are freshly boiled, not the same as pills. Wei Changying didn't know anything about medicine, so she was in a dilemma at the moment.

Earlier Huang had said, let her catch a small beast to try the medicinal properties before. But now, this freezing ...... weather where to catch a small beast?

"Alas, it's a pity that Clan Brother Ziming is not here." Gu Rou Zhang is to see this like that is also like, even after removing a dozen bottles of medicine, she disheveled to the wall of the car, leaned, reached out and touched the sanity has been a bit of a trance, even the strength to answer Teng Bengqian's forehead, only to feel that touching the hand hot, the heart of the dark, murmured and complained, "My second brother is said to be better than ZiMing clan brother reading the book, bias he did not contend with, but did not even read a book of medical science! "

Earlier, when Deng Beng Beng had a fever, the group was in the wilderness and were at their wits' end there was no place to find herbs to cure wind-cold in the freezing weather. When they heard that Wei Changying had medicine in his traveling bag, and that it was very complete, they were all overjoyed.

As a result, the next thing you know, everyone began to make a group effort to distinguish which bottle of medicine is doing what ...... until now, no bottle can be fixed correctly.

I can't blame Gu Xi Nian for not reading more medical books when he was studying, because Huang prepared dozens of bottles of medicine for Wei Chang Ying!

According to her to Wei Chang Ying account that is dozens of kinds of medicine, this ......

That's why, up until now, I've never dared to give Deng Biancheng medication.

"I don't know if we'll meet anyone who knows what they're doing if we follow this road." Wei Chang Ying frowned, opened the water bag warmed up in his fur coat and took a sip, feeling that the water was still hot, he carefully held it up to Deng Beng Beng's lips and whispered, "Beng Beng, drink some water."

When they traveled, everyone remembered to bring a little bit of fine linen, as well as dry food, and even remembered to bring some medicine for their injuries.

The only thing I forgot to bring was water.

Actually remember that you won't be carrying much water either, it's too heavy.

Besides, now that it's freezing, isn't snow all over the ground water? Besides, even if it doesn't snow, there are many water sources near the imperial capital.

The problem was that they had also forgotten to bring vessels for boiling water, resulting in the group having to drink snow to quench their thirst after they had easily escaped the pursuit of the Rong people when they left the city, regardless of whether they were physically weak or not.

When they realized that Shen Shujing and Teng Bengbeng could not bear it, Wei Changying and Gu Rouzhang had to take the snow themselves and feed them after the snow turned into water in their mouths.

Now this point of hot water or last night easily found a broken jar, and is Deng Zongqi braved the snow to find a bit of firewood, a little bit of hot water burned so a water bag.

So after feeding Teng Beng Beng water, Wei Chang Ying immediately put the water sac back into his fur coat and warmed it with his own body heat to try to prevent it from getting cold.

The ...... hardships of the journey were once unimaginable to those of them born in the brood.

Unconsciously, the pain that tore his heart and lungs when he left the imperial capital was gradually buried by one difficult thing after another.

Heartache of course could not be forgotten so quickly, but these days, the people had to deal with all sorts of difficulties, almost no eons to think about it at all.

Those loved ones who didn't leave the imperial capital, those who took the eastern gate to break out ...... those loyal servants ...... those people ...... everything from before... ...

There was rarely even the effort to look back at the Imperial Capital.

"Cough ......," Deng bent and coughed again.

"It's not a solution to keep dragging it out like this." Gu Rouzhang pulled Shen Shujing, letting her, who had already assisted Deng Bengbeng for more than two hours, switch places with herself, stroking Deng Bengbeng's back, and discussing with Wei Changying in a low voice, "Why don't you call Xiangzhi to come over, and let Bengbeng take some medicine first? I think since Auntie Huang let Sister Wei let you use it on the road, as a matter of fact there won't be any bad medicine, otherwise wouldn't it accidentally harm you?"

Wei Changying didn't have a better solution and said, "This is the only way."

Because her two maids, Qin Ge and Yan Ge, were trying to cover her and Shen Shujing when they broke through the siege, one of them was hit by an arrow and fell off her horse, and most likely suffered an untimely death; the other one, Yan Ge, fought with a Rong man who chased after her and made a hammer, and vomited blood, and then fell into a coma when she got into the carriage. At this moment, to call Deng Zongqi, Wei Changying had to do it herself; she waited for Gu Rouzhang to cover Deng Bengbeng's head and face, then slightly lifted the curtain and called out, "Xiangzhi, come over here for a moment, we have something to discuss." Because of the breakout together, the relationship between all the people had quickly become closer over the past few days, and Wei Changying no longer called the men with her a son, but referred to them by their words.

Teng Zongqi heard the sound and glanced at her somehow, Wei Changying's heart jumped for no apparent reason when he looked at her like that.

"Wei ...... sister in law, I don t know if it is bending her?" Teng Zong Qi glanced at her and then immediately withdrew his eyes, focused on pivoting his horse to the side of the cart and softly inquired.

"Bend's fever hasn't subsided yet, and her cough is getting worse. In this freezing weather, we don't know how long we'll have to walk before we can meet a doctor." Because of the limited space on the carriage, coupled with the difference between men and women, it was not convenient for Teng Zong Qi to get on the carriage to visit his sister's condition, and even less convenient for him to get on the carriage and talk.

So it can only be Wei Chang Ying pulling the curtain to discuss with him leaning against the side of the car, "According to this situation, I am afraid ...... not very good. I've never paid attention to Auntie Huang's medicines, and now I can't tell which one is for the wind-cold. Just now Gu sister told me a little bit, think Huang aunt since it is to give me spare medicine, according to the reason will not have bad in the inside. I'm not sure if I'll let you choose a bottle and try it out. Just ...... these are all guesses, I also don't know these medicines, is there anything that can't be eaten casually?"

Teng Zongqi's brows were furrowed, and a struggling color appeared on his face ...... for a long time before he softly said, "In a little while, Brother Tu Enemy and the others should be back. I want to wait for them to come back and then make a decision, is that okay?"

"Good." Tu enemy is Pei Jie's word, these days, it is Deng Zong Qi, Pei Jie and Gu Xi Nian who take turns to lead people out to explore the road ...... If only Pei Jie could bring back good news, Wei Chang Ying softly shushed, nodded with Deng Zong Qi, and lowered the curtain to return to the car.

The carriage was dilapidated and could not isolate the wind, much less the sound. Although Teng Zongqi's voice was soft, Gu Rouzhang heard it clearly, and now raised his head and sighed softly, "Although we had a few scares when we left the city, it was much easier than we thought earlier. We are all in one piece, I just hope we still have this kind of luck today."

Dang Bender really can't put it off.

"Yes, but I hope ...... everything is fine." Wei Chang Ying responded vaguely, thinking of her two children, and her husband ...... Are they okay? Have they been reunited?
