The last emperor

Chapter 79 Chen Lie's Condition

With the medicine, Chen Lie's high fever finally subsided in the middle of the night, but he was still unconscious. Uncle Shiping got up from the kang and began to prepare new medicine for infusion.

Lei Zhengtang refused to go to sleep, and stayed on the sofa all night, waking up whenever there was any movement, watching Uncle Shiping give Chen Lie a diagnosis and treatment, the worried expression on his face did not diminish at all.

Zhang Yao persuaded: "The injury on your arm is not serious. If you don't take a good rest like this, the wound will be infected. With us as instructor Chen, nothing will happen."

Lei Zhengtang shook his head, and said silently: "You think Chen Lie is my driver and bodyguard, but it's not just like that. In my eyes, I have always regarded Chen Lie as my real brother. I have been working hard outside for many years. , only Chen Lie and I have a deeper relationship."

He smiled, as if recalling something, and continued: "When I met him back then, I was in trouble. He did the boss who used to follow and hid in my construction site. There was a fight on the construction site. Never a lot, I thought he was pleasing to the eye, so I helped him block the thugs who were chasing him, and helped him avoid the disaster of killing him. He was grateful to me and stayed with me.

In the beginning, Chen Lie was unwilling to accept the proposal of being my driver or a small foreman, and just silently worked as a small worker to carry bricks and stones. One day, another foreman who had always had conflicts with me brought someone to smash my place. The construction site happened to be on vacation, and the people had almost left, and I was the only one who was clearing the wages of a few small foremen. The other party probably came here on purpose after hearing the news. "

Zhang Yao opened her eyes wide and said, "Why does being a foreman sound like a gangster?"

"Where there are interests, there will be struggles, especially when the interests make everyone jealous, group fights between several contractors are very common." Lei Zhengtang smiled and continued: "At that time, the other party came over 30 The man, with a steel pipe and a machete in his hand, was obviously coming at me, and we were stuck in the construction site with nowhere to escape.

I thought everything was going to be over, but I didn't expect Chen Lie to stand up and kill all directions with a two-meter-long steel pipe. It would not be an exaggeration to describe his bravery as one against a hundred. More than 30 opponents came to the end He didn't even get any cheap money, and was beaten up by the few of us and fled. "

Speaking of this, Lei Zhengtang's eyes were shining, obviously the previous days were his proud times, and he said with a smile: "I recognized this brother that day, and I pulled Chen Lie to burn incense and worship him. Since then, Chen Lie is my driver, bodyguard, and even my brother, and my career is getting better and better..."

Seeing Lei Zhengtang's face suddenly darken, Zhang Yao whispered, "What's wrong?"

Lei Zhengtang said with great guilt: "Chen Lie persuaded me three times about leaving Heilongtou Mountain, but I felt uncomfortable at the time that I lost everything here, so I didn't listen to a word he said, let alone pay attention to it." He is already sick, Chen Lie had no choice but to leave with me at my request."

Zhang Yao nodded and said, "Instructor Chen brought the child back in person. At that time, he was coughing badly, but he asked me for some medicine and didn't come back. I was careless, otherwise I should have persuaded him to stay."

"It's my fault. I just wanted to leave here immediately, and I didn't care about Chen Lie's thoughts and body at all." Lei Zhengtang's expression suddenly became very painful, and he wailed while holding his hair with both hands: "Xiaoyan is innocent, I should have done my duty as a man to protect her from harm. It was my arrogance and impulsiveness that killed her. I thought I could go back to the construction site and find workers to build my own base, but I was too naive. This world is hell!"

Zhang Yao carefully asked: "What happened to you outside?"

"Encountered..." Lei Zhengtang hesitated to speak, fear appeared in his eyes, he put his head in his hands and did not speak again.

Zhang Yao sighed pitifully, found a piece of clothing to put on him and said, "No matter what happens, it's better to be alive now than anything else. I've said it. Our lives are not just our own. We and the whole village Your life is related, for yourself and for your family, work hard to live, don't give up hope."

What exactly happened to Lei Zhengtang Zhang Yao couldn't figure it out, if the Roshan Great Demon King described by Zhang Zhi wasn't scary enough, she really couldn't think of anything else that would make Lei Zhengtang so terrified.

For the next two days, there was no abnormality in Guangyuan Village. Zhang Zhen began to lead people to repair the canal and prepare for the irrigation of the fields in the east.

The construction of the bathhouse in the village is also halfway through, which is good news for everyone.

However, Chen Lie was still in a coma, making everyone frown. Uncle Shiping had tried several treatment options, but the effect was still not obvious after the fever subsided.

Zhang Jin worried: "Is there any other way?"

Uncle Shiping thought for a while and said: "Western medicine and finished medicine seem to be the only way out. The only way is to try traditional Chinese medicine, but I haven't been treated for many years and I have no medicine."

Zhang Jin said, "Where can I find it?"

Uncle Shiping proposed to use traditional Chinese medicine, so it is impossible to buy all the medicinal materials. When Western medicine was not popular in the early years, it was all relying on old village doctors. These people used local materials to find traditional Chinese medicine, so Zhang Jin asked this question.

"Fuhu Mountain should still be found, but I'm too old to find it." Uncle Shiping sighed, he was in his seventies, and he was powerless.

"Auntie, do you know Chinese medicine?" Zhang Jin asked with the last hope.

Zhang Yao shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm in clinical nursing and Western medicine, and I don't know anything about Chinese medicine. I wonder if I'm in a hurry to learn it now?"

Uncle Shiping shook his head and said, "Looking for medicine in the mountains will not be learned in a short time. If the situation of instructor Chen doesn't improve, there may be problems."

"Grandpa, I can try it." Zhang Le, who had been keeping quiet all along, suddenly stood up and said.

Feeling the hope, Zhang Jin hurriedly said, "Have you ever learned it?"

Zhang Ledao: "I haven't seen many herbs, but grandpa often asks me to remember all kinds of herbs. I am familiar with their descriptions. If I find them, I should be able to identify them."

Zhang Jin looked at Uncle Shiping, Uncle Shiping hesitated and said, "If Le'er goes, there should be a chance to find everything."

"Then let Le'er go, and I'll protect him." Lei Zhengtang, who had been quiet all this time, stood up and said.

Zhang Jin thought for a while and said: "It's getting late today, Uncle Shiping will teach Le'er the medicine he was looking for tonight, and I will personally take Le'er into Fuhu Mountain tomorrow."

"I, I'll go." Lei Zhengtang felt that he should go.

Zhang Jin stood up and said, "Are you out of guilt or do you think you can bring Le'er back safely?"

Lei Zhengtang questioned him, but he bowed his head and couldn't answer.

Zhang Jin said lightly: "Take care of your wounds with peace of mind. Our purpose is to save people, not to act rashly. If you really feel guilty, you are engaged in engineering. You can think about how to help us build larger defense facilities. That is you." contribution."
