Mother, run, Daddy Regent is here again

Chapter 181
Wei Qianqian had no choice but to find King Chu and said with difficulty, "I know it's inappropriate for me to say this now, but I really need some medicinal herbs. Fu Jue..."

The King of Chu said coldly: "Why should I help you? You haven't done what you promised me, and now you are asking for this and that!"

"Besides, the reason why our Chu Kingdom surrendered to your dynasty is not because it is located in a barren land, the land is barren, and there is not enough food to grow. Where are there any herbs?"

"Even if there is, it must be used wisely. How can it be given to a princess of an enemy country casually?"

Wei Qianqian's face was instantly covered with red threads, and he said with some embarrassment: "I will definitely return these medicinal materials to you twice in the future!"

The King of Chu was unmoved, and just said: "No, if you want it, you can find it yourself. Go straight for 30 kilometers from here, and there is a spiritual mountain. Because there are fierce beasts, few people set foot there, and the medicinal herbs are also very rich. Yes, just to see if you have the life to go, and if you have the life to come back!"

Wei Qianqian said with firm eyes, "I'm not afraid, I'll go find it right away!"

The king of Chu stopped her: "Hey, how could this king let you go so easily? What if you escape? Who should I go to?"

Wei Qianqian said anxiously: "Fu Jue is here, how can I escape?"

The King of Chu said with a look of disdain: "People's hearts are separated from the belly. How would I know what you are thinking in your heart? Besides, you have already lied to me once."

Wei Qianqian explained: "Fu Jue is the great general of the dynasty, even if I escape, you guys will be much more useful than me in keeping him in custody."

The King of Chu thought for a moment, then Fang said: "What you said is also reasonable, then you go and come back quickly, if he dies, I will be in big trouble!"

Wei Qianqian nodded and said, "Then trouble the King of Chu to take care of it for me first, and I'll set off right away!"

The king of Chu arranged for her a vigorous war horse, which saved a lot of time on the road.

After walking for about half a day, Wei Qianqian felt her mouth was dry and her tongue was too dry. She only brought a few steamed buns to satisfy her hunger, so she decided to stop and ask someone for a drink.

She got off the horse, led the horse to a rare green grass, fixed the horse rope on the dead branch next to it, and started to look for water on foot.

She tried to knock on a wooden door, which was dilapidated and made a "squeak" sound when touched.

At this moment, a hunchbacked old woman came to open the door and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Wei Qianqian explained why she came, and the old woman beckoned her in. As soon as she entered, there was loess and dust everywhere, and Wei Qianqian stood beside her.

The old woman took out a bowl with a hole in it, and took a spoonful from the depths of the water tank with difficulty. Seeing that there was only a little scooped up, she weighed her feet to scoop up water again.

This time, she scooped up a big ladle of water, and she poured the water into the bowl slowly, for fear that a drop of water would seep out.

Trembling, the old woman brought water to Wei Qianqian and said, "Drink, girl."

Wei Qianqian took the water and drank it in big gulps. The old woman looked at her kindly and said, "Drink slowly, drink slowly, no one will snatch it from you!"

Suddenly there was a coughing sound from the back room, Wei Qianqian stopped delivering water and asked, "Grandma, do you live here alone?"

The old woman shook her head and sighed, and said: "We used to be a family of six living in this small house. At that time, although we were not very rich, we lived quite contentedly, with food to eat and water to drink. The whole family is healthy, although it is difficult, but very happy." When the old woman talked about her life, a happy smile crawled on her face.

"However, a plague a few years ago killed many people, including a few in my family. Now we are left to depend on each other. I thought life would be easier if we survived the plague. A few days ago, my son fell ill again and couldn’t sleep for a long time. He relied on me as an old woman to maintain his livelihood. But I am weak and old, and now I can’t even lift water. I don’t know what to do in the future? "

Wei Qianqian was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with your son? I'm a military doctor, so I can show your son."

The old woman exclaimed: "Really? Then please show my son quickly!"

Wei Qianqian checked his pulse and said after a long time, "This chronic cough only needs to be boiled with loquat leaves and Chuanbei, and it can be cured after taking it orally for ten days."

The old woman sighed and said: "Sure enough, a doctor has shown it before, and the medicinal materials prescribed can't be bought here at all, unless we spend a lot of money to buy them from outside, our family can't afford it! "

Wei Qianqian looked at the people who were tortured by the disease, but she was powerless and heartbroken. She said to the old woman, "The purpose of my trip is to go to Lingshan to collect herbs. Don't worry, when I come back, I will definitely bring the herbs to you." return."

The old woman was very grateful, and when Wei Qianqian left, he went to the well to fetch a few barrels of water and filled their water tanks before leaving in peace.

She turned back to look for the horse, and found another child with diarrhea and collapse. Because there was no herbal medicine to heal him, he was on the verge of death.

When the child's parents saw that the child had stopped the diarrhea, they kowtowed to thank her immediately.
Wei Qianqian bowed his waist and pulled them up, saying, "Don't be like this, he is still very weak, feed him some light salt water to stop vomiting!"

Wei Qianqian felt that the delay was too long, and Fu Jue was still waiting for her to go back for treatment, so she rode on the horse and hurried on the road. Along the way, she met many people who were suffering from minor diseases due to lack of medicinal herbs. She was very heartbroken.

They were all fresh lives, but because of the lack of medicinal materials and untimely treatment, they left serious sequelae and even lost their lives. She secretly made up her mind to let them realize the freedom of medicinal materials and stop suffering from them.

Wei Qianqian walked for another half a day, and came to the foot of the mountain at night. It was dark and slippery at night, so she decided to rest in the tree for one night, and go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow, so as not to make mistakes.

No, in the middle of the night, when she was half asleep and half awake, she vaguely felt that the branches were shaking violently. She tried to open her hazy eyes and looked down, but saw a black mass slamming into the tree trunk where she was.

But luckily, the tree was strong enough so that it wouldn't be broken by it three or two times. She identified it carefully, and then saw that it turned out to be a brown bear under the moonlight.

She was so frightened that her legs trembled, she quickly shrank into a ball, and nearly fell down.

She vaguely remembered, Xiong blind, blind?As long as it doesn't move, it shouldn't be able to find her.She secretly prayed in her heart: "Don't find me, don't find me, hurry up and go!"

After a while, there was suddenly no movement below. She opened her eyes wide and looked down, and there were several people holding torches and driving the bear away.
