Chapter 409 Infected with wind and cold

While the men were shoveling snow, Wei Ruo and Xiumei who stayed in the shed were not idle.

Because there was a clump of light bamboo not far from the road dug by everyone, Wei Ruo and Xiumei cut some back.

Use these bamboos to expand the shed and build a bamboo bed on the ground, about one meter wide and two meters long, big enough for a grown man to lie down on.

Laying on a blanket is always more comfortable than sitting directly on a cold stone.

The place is not big, just big enough for such a bamboo bed, but at least everyone can take turns to lie down and sleep for a while.

On the fourth day, everyone still couldn't leave the place, the weather was still very cold, and the snow showed no sign of melting.

Fortunately, Wei Ruo can cook for them every meal, and no one is hungry.

The work of shoveling snow and digging roads continued. Except for evening and meal time, everyone did not stop at all.

Four days have passed and they must speed up. Once the food and charcoal fire are exhausted, their lives may be in danger.

Every time Wei Ruo was able to offer food to everyone, everyone felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

They really didn't expect that there would be so much rice and flour on Wei Ruo's carriage.

Although Wei Ruo told them that she often went to open up wasteland, the journey was far away, and she had no place to eat, so she brought cooking tools and a lot of food by herself.

But they never thought that the large amount of food she said would be so much, which really saved their lives!

On the fifth day, something unexpected happened. Mr. Tan had a fever.

Mr. Tan didn't tell everyone at the beginning, even his four personal guards didn't know.

It wasn't until dinner time that he got up to take the bowl that Wei Ruo handed him, but just as he stood up, he fell down.

Fortunately, his servant quickly caught him and put him on the bamboo bed.

At this time, Mr. Tan was a little dizzy from the fever, and the four servants suddenly panicked.

"You two, the third and the fourth, look at Mr., the second and I will go to the doctor for medicine now." Ada gave instructions to the other three.

"Brother, the road is blocked by heavy snow, where do you go to find a doctor? Although we have been digging for two days, there should still be a long distance from the city gate." Ah San asked.

"I'm going to look for it even if I'm far away, sir, there's nothing to do!" Ah Da was determined.

The other three people had no better way, so they nodded in agreement.

"Brother, come back as soon as possible!" Ah San urged.

"You don't have to worry about me, take care of sir!"

After speaking, Ah Da planned to set off with Ah Er.

Xu Fengyuan, Lu Yuhong and others saw this scene, but they didn't have any better suggestions at this time.

"Wait a minute." Wei Ruo called to stop the two who were about to go out.

"Miss Wei, what's the matter?" The two stopped and looked at Wei Ruo.

"Mr. Tan must have caught a cold. I have medicine in the car." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss Wei has medicine?"

The four showed expressions of surprise and joy at the same time.

Not only Mr. Tan's four servants, but Xu Fengyuan and Lu Yuhong were also surprised.

The carriage of the eldest daughter of the Wei family is probably not a treasure chest, is it? Why is there everything!

"Yes." Wei Ruo gave an affirmative answer, and then directed the four people, "You can carry him to my carriage first."

In the past few days, the men have never been in Wei Ruo's carriage. Although it is a special period and many etiquettes have been put aside, they still try to keep some distance from Wei Ruo. After all, men and women cannot kiss each other.

At this time, Wei Ruo offered to move Mr. Tan to the carriage, and his four servants were naturally happy, because Wei Ruo's carriage was relatively warm.

"No." Wei Yichen stopped.

As he spoke, Wei Yichen took off the blanket he was wearing and covered Mr. Tan.

"Just let Mr. Tan lie on the bamboo bed. If it's still cold, I can give him all my clothes." Wei Yichen said, with a serious expression and a firm attitude.

"It's better to carry people up, it's warmer in the car." Wei Ruo said.

"There is a difference between men and women. Now this carriage is where you sleep. It is no longer an ordinary carriage. Men are not allowed to enter casually." Wei Yichen was very firm.

In the past few days, Wei Yichen had been reticent and never interfered with any of Wei Ruo's decisions, but at this moment he suddenly changed his attitude.

What else Wei Ruo wanted to say, Xu Fengyuan also agreed with Wei Yichen's opinion: "I agree with Brother Wei's opinion, it is better to let Mr. Tan lie on the bamboo bed."

As he spoke, Xu Fengyuan also took off the cloak covering himself.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also gave the coats they were wearing to Mr. Tan.

Wei Ruo hurriedly stopped and said: "Okay, there is no need to cover it anymore, you all cover it, if you don't cover it for him, you will have to be crushed by him."

While speaking, Wei Ruo went to the bamboo bed, took off some of the cloaks and blankets that covered it, and returned them to Wei Yichen and the others, leaving only two blankets, one for the bottom and one for the body.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo held Mr. Tan's wrist to feel his pulse.

"What are you doing?"

Wei Yichen and Ada spoke at the same time.

"When I was in the country, I learned some superficial medical skills from an old gentleman. I took Mr. Tan's pulse to make sure whether he really had a cold. If so, he could take medicine." Wei Ruo explained.

After hearing Wei Ruo's explanation, the four of them felt more relieved, proving that the eldest daughter of the Wei family did not take medicine casually.

Wei Yichen frowned slightly, it was the first time he knew that his eldest sister would feel the pulse.

After taking the pulse for a short time, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to go to the car to get the medicine and came back, while he started boiling water himself.

The water that Wei Ruo and the others drank in the past two days was boiled with snow water, and if it got cold, they would put it in a cowhide bag.

When Wei Ruo did this at the beginning, Lu Yuhong and the others stopped him.

The few of them were distressed by the limited amount of charcoal fire, and said that the men could just stuff the snow into their mouths, and there was no need to boil it.

But Wei Ruo insisted that everyone must drink the boiled water.

Wei Ruo regretted not being able to get fresh water out of the space. Drinking raw water is absolutely impossible.

After Xiumei boiled the water, Wei Ruo took a bowl, put the pills into the bowl, and then poured the boiled water to dissolve the pills.

A bowl of clear water instantly turned into a bowl of dark brown concoction.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a way of mixing medicine, and they couldn't help feeling novelty.

"Miss Wei, do you just drink this medicine like this?" Ada, who got the medicine, was a little hesitant.

"Well, just drink it like this." Wei Ruo replied, "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with this medicine."

The four servants hesitated for a while, and after looking at each other, they chose to believe Wei Ruo.

Ah Er supported Mr. Tan, and Ah Da carefully gave Mr. Tan the medicine.
