Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 47

More than a month later, in Zhongzhou, a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Yuchang Mansion was crowded with skinny victims.

It is now mid-October, and winter has entered Yuchang Mansion in Zhongzhou. Although there is no snow, the temperature in the morning and evening is very low, and there will be a snow-like whitehead frost.

A whitehead cream comes down, which can make people cold to the core.

The victims did not have anything to keep out the cold, so they could only hide in groups in the ruined temple and make fires to keep warm.

In a grass hut under the wall of the broken temple, Gu Jinli's family hid here to keep warm.

After they bypassed Yongtai Mansion and got on the road, they turned right and went south to Zhongzhou, but half of the land in Zhongzhou was dry, and it was also affected by the disaster.

This time, the affected area was too large, and half of the great Chu was affected by famine.

The six prefectures in Zhongzhou were too busy to take care of themselves, and did not dare to rescue the victims who fled from the northwest.

They had no choice but to spend the night on the outskirts of Yuchang Mansion.

But after fleeing the famine all the way, the temperature plummeted, and many victims caught wind chills.

Among Gu Jinli's group, the third grandmother, the old Yan family, Cheng Ge'er, Tian Xiaohua, Gu Dalin's youngest son Gu Qingxi, and Gu Dewang from Gu Dagui's family all contracted the cold and developed high fever.

Gu Jinli found a lot of medicinal herbs for the treatment of wind and cold along the way, and now all of them have been boiled.

"Mother, Aunt Tian, ​​Aunt Gui, Aunt Damu, the medicine is ready, come and get it." Gu Jinli said to several women in the grass hut while pouring the boiled medicine into the wooden bowl.

"Is it ready?" Mrs. Chen rushed out first, grabbed the bowl of medicine that Gu Jinli had not poured, carefully guarded the medicine bowl, ran into the grass hut, picked up the sleepy Gu Dewang, and blew the medicine in the bowl a little. After cooling down a bit, he poured medicine in small mouthfuls.

Cui Shi, Yan Shi, and Aunt Tian also came out in a hurry, brought the medicine into the grass hut, and fed the medicine to their own people.

"Huiniang, you continue to boil the medicine. After the medicine is ready, everyone can drink a bowl to prevent the cold."

After a long journey, they did not have enough food and clothing, and their health was very poor. They had to take medicine to prevent colds, otherwise they would fall ill.

"Okay." Luo Huiniang continued to boil the medicine according to the method of taking care of Jinli's teaching.

Gu Jinli brought the last bowl of medicine to the third grandma, and said to Gu Jinxiu, who was taking care of the third grandma, "Sister, help the third grandma up, and I will give the third grandma the medicine."

"Eh." Gu Jinxiu helped the third grandma, supported her back with one hand, fixed her, and held the third grandma's head with the other, and worked with Gu Jinli to finally feed the third grandma the medicine.

After taking the medicine, several patients were still lethargic.Chen Shi was so anxious that he pointed at Gu Jinli and said, "Xiaoyu, can you do this medicine? Don't ruin our brother Wang."

Gu Jinli hehe, and replied to her: "If your aunt is not at ease, take Brother Wang to Fucheng to see a doctor now. The doctor in Fucheng has good medical skills, and he will surely wake up Brother Wang immediately."

There were guards outside Yuchang Mansion, and the victims were not allowed to enter. Even if the victims could enter, the Chen family would not have the money to give Wang Ge'er to see the doctor.

Chen shi choked with embarrassment on her face, but she has always been thick-skinned, able to bend and stretch, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, why don't you worry? Auntie trusts you the most."

Gu Dagui is tying together the branches and dead grass he found with the men of several houses to make simple grass and wood boards one by one. He intends to enclose all the roots of the wall with these grass and wood boards to block the cold wind for everyone. Listen. When it came to Chen's words, he said: "Take good care of Brother Wang, don't look for trouble."

Along the way, this woman is the least capable of being a human being. How much the Dashan family helped them, she won't say a few nice words?

Chen Shi knew Gu Dagui's temper, so he didn't dare to speak again.

Gu Jinxiu looked at the third grandma, and then at Brother Cheng, who was also drowsy. She was a little worried and asked Gu Jinli in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, how long will it take for the third grandma to get better?"

Gu Jinli said, "After taking the medicine and sweating, you will be fine after a good night's sleep."

What she was worried about was that the sweat would not come out and the fever would not go away, which would be bad.

There is also Brother Cheng, he is not yet four years old, but he can't let him burn like this, it will burn his brain.

"Sister, take good care of the third grandmother." Gu Jinli explained to Gu Jinxiu, came to Cheng Ge'er, and touched his forehead with the back of his hand. After feeling the back of his hand was hot, he rolled up his sleeves and trousers and began to massage his hand. Several acupuncture points on the upper and feet.

If a child under ten years old has a high fever, continuous massage of several acupoints on the hands and feet can reduce the fever.

Gu Jinli kept repeating an action, pressing the acupuncture points on Cheng Ge'er's hands and feet until red, and then pressing the surrounding skin until purple dots appeared before she stopped.

Not long after, when he probed into Brother Cheng's forehead again, his fever had subsided a lot.

Gu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief and looked out of the straw hut. There were many straw huts built around, and they were all filled with disaster victims. Some of them didn't even have a straw hut.

There were also victims who wanted to squeeze into their grass huts, but there were too many of them, and Qin Erlang, Gu Jin'an, Luo Wu and other half-sized boys surrounded the grass hut along the base of the wall, so the victims were not able to squeeze in.

As for Qin Sanlang, he followed Old Qin, Grandpa San, and Father Luo to the nearby people to buy things from those people.

There are many villages outside the prefecture. These villages are afraid of the disaster victims, so they do not let them in, but they sell things to them, but the price is a few percent higher than before.

But there is no way, several people are sick, and if they don't spend money to buy things, everyone will die of illness.

When it was about to get dark, Qin Saburo and the four finally came back with a load of things, and on the top was a pile of old clothes.

The surrounding victims saw that they came back with things, their eyes glowed green, and many wanted to come up and grab them.

Qin Erlang rushed over with a machete, stood beside Qin Lao, glanced at the surrounding victims with sullen eyes, and sneered: "Come here if you are not afraid of death!"

Those who were able to escape from the famine all the way to Yuchang Mansion and have not died on the road were all people who had been through the incident. As soon as Qin Erlang looked like he knew that he had seen blood, the victims who wanted to come up and grab something immediately shrank back.

The third grandfather and the others quickly returned to the grass hut under the wall, and placed four loads of things in the grass hut. Several families surrounded him. Chen was the fastest, and immediately pulled away three old cotton-padded coats.

The third grandfather looked at her coldly and said, "An old cotton-padded coat costs five hundred dollars. If your family wants these three old cotton-padded coats, you have to add another one or two silver."

Five hundred big money is half a tael of silver, Chen Shi searched, and when everyone went to a nearby farmhouse to buy things, she only gave half a tael of silver.

"What? This ragged cotton-padded coat costs five hundred dollars. Isn't this a robbery!" Chen shi screamed, but he refused to put down the old cotton-padded coat in his hand.

The third grandfather said: "You are right, the farmers around here are robbing us, but can we not buy it? If we don't buy it, we will get cold and die."
