Chapter 23 So It's So Chaotic Everywhere
Qi Xuan sent Su Yunnuan back to Grandma Yang's house. The two families were far apart, spanning the entire Yugu Village and having to cross a bridge.
It was already dark. Qi Xuan was worried that Su Yunnuan would fall again, so he kept protecting her by his side. The two of them were too close and felt awkward. In order to resolve the embarrassment, Qi Xuan said, "Do you want to make a cotton coat?"
"Yes." Su Yunnuan replied and said quickly: "I have exchanged a lot of cotton and coarse cloth with the villagers."
Qi Xuan said softly, feeling a little disappointed.
Su Yunnuan turned her head and glanced at Qi Xuan. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she could see the general outline of Qi Xuan. After walking a few steps, Su Yunnuan said: "I don't blame you anymore. Yu Hu's life was not lost."
Fortunately, no matter what you do in the future, safety should come first."
"Okay." Qi Xuan slowly clenched his fists. He really felt sorry.
Su Yunnuan added: "You don't have to feel guilty. Take those medicines for three days and I'll check your pulse again after three days. It won't be a big problem."
"Do you want anything else?" Qi Xuan asked.
Su Yunnuan shook her head: "I don't want anything. What your aunt said makes sense. You and Yuhu are good friends, and you should help each other."
Qi Xuan paused and saw Su Yunnuan swaying. He quickly stretched out his hand to hold her arm, and then let go as if he was electrocuted.
After finally arriving at the door of the house, Pan Yushuang asked through the door: "Is your sister-in-law back?"
"It's me." Su Yunnuan felt warm in her heart. On this bitterly cold night, Pan Yushuang was waiting for her across the door. This friendship was really profound.
Qi Xuan stuffed the needle box into Su Yunnuan's arms: "Auntie said you can use this, so keep it."
Alas, Su Yunnuan really wanted to tell Qi Xuan that this gift was too precious. Holding the needle box felt like holding a hedgehog.
Qi Xuan stood at the door: "I won't leave my illness to them, just leave it at that."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Pan Yushuang opened the door and pulled Su Yunnuan, who was still in a daze, into the yard and whispered: "It's snowing too much. Sister-in-law, come in quickly. I have rice hot in the pot."
Su Yunnuan entered the room and carefully placed the box on the bedside.
Pan Yushuang brought the food and drink, put them on the table and sat next to her. Watching Su Yunnuan take a sip of the porridge, she asked, "Sister-in-law, is Qi Xuan's aunt seriously ill?"
"Well, it's quite heavy. We have to discuss something later." Su Yunnuan said softly. After eating the hot porridge, she felt much better. After dinner, she took Pan Yushuang to see Pan Yuhu, and also took Yang
My mother-in-law was invited.
Everyone sat down around the fire pot, and Su Yunnuan asked: "I went to see Qi Xuan's aunt today, but I didn't expect it to be a 'show'. Have you heard of it?"
Pan Yuhu and others looked at each other and shook their heads.
Granny Yang frowned: "That haunted house is unlucky. We people in Yugu Village still dare to wander around the foot of Yonggu Mountain, but no one wants to go near the haunted house. Legend has it that all the family members there died overnight."
Su Yunnuan was surprised: "When did it happen?"
"A long time ago, I always listened to what my elders said." Grandma Yang said.
Su Yunnuan's fear was dispelled immediately, and she thought it was Qi Xuan and her aunt who killed the original homeowner's family.
Su Yunnuan calmed down and continued: "This disease is very serious, and it is not easy to cure it, so we need to prepare more herbal medicines. This disease will definitely cause disaster in the spring. I want to cure diseases and save people, and I also want to make some money.
I don’t know if it will work.”
The corner of Pan Yuhu's mouth curved like a blade: "Sister-in-law, if you don't treat those people like Zhao Changlin! They have no conscience, and if we save them, we will be helping the bad guys."
Su Yunnuan also hated people like Zhao Changlin very much. What's the difference between humans and animals if they dare to eat them? Even if they were saved, it wouldn't be them.
"This is a good thing. An Nuan can cure such a disease. If nothing else, it is appropriate to bring back some food and drink, and it is also appropriate to pay the cashier. There is no reason in the world for a doctor to give away medicine for free. You have to charge a little." Yang
said the mother-in-law.
Su Yunnuan nodded: "Auntie, I can't just show up and practice medicine, so I have to find a reliable pharmacy or doctor to cooperate."
Grandma Yang liked hearing this and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. We have to protect ourselves first. Let's talk about medicine shops and doctors. We have a great philanthropist in Baicao Hall in Qingniu County. He is a good healer and rescuer.
Doctor, find him to be safe."
Qingniu County?
Su Yunnuan thought about it, that's okay.
Apart from anything else, the name of a good person is very attractive. If you want to survive, you must seek stability. If you really meet a bad person with ulterior motives, not to mention making money, your survival will be a problem.
"Then when I have time, I will take Yubao and Yushuang to the mountains to dig for medicinal materials and prepare them first." Su Yunnuan looked at Pan Yuhu: "Don't stop me, I will definitely not let anything happen to them. We can sell more medicines."
Make some money, but if you sell it, it won’t be worth it.”
Pan Yuhu, who wanted to stop him, swallowed back his words. He didn't know how long it would take for his injury to heal, so how could he lie on the kang and point fingers at the whole family?
"This disease may break out in the spring." Su Yunnuan narrowed her eyes slightly: "I was thinking about this on the way back. We need to farm in the spring. If there is no food, we will still be hungry. We need to farm to survive.
"
Pan Yuhu's expression was solemn, and Su Yunnuan revealed the family's plight with one sentence. He was afraid of going hungry, but he still had five acres of thin farmland in his hands, which was the foundation for the family to live and settle down.
"Listen to my sister-in-law's arrangements." Pan Yuhu was unwilling to treat the villagers who ate human flesh. He even felt a sense of incompatibility, and he firmly believed that this was a divine punishment.
Su Yunnuan wanted to know more about this world, so she asked tentatively: "Maybe those people in the village will flee the famine, or maybe the court will provide disaster relief to solve their urgent needs?"
Pan Yuhu shook his head: "I heard someone said that the three princes of Dasheng Kingdom rebelled against the imperial court and have been at war for almost three years. The imperial court has no intention of caring about these people."
"Then let's just wait. Farming won't start until March anyway. It's too late." Su Yunnuan felt very cold in her heart. After three years of fighting, there was civil strife. In other words, it was like this everywhere.
I gave up the idea of finding a place to settle down.
For three days in a row, Su Yunnuan took Pan Yushuang and Pan Yubao to the foot of the mountain to find medicinal materials and wild vegetables. Although the thick snow brought them too many difficulties, Su Yunnuan had no choice. She needed these herbs for cover.
Otherwise the secret will be revealed sooner or later.
Pan Yuhu's wound is recovering well, but he still needs to stay in bed.
On the appointed day, Su Yunnuan asked Pan Yubao and Pan Yushuang to rest at home for a day. She went to the path to treat Qi Xuan's aunt. On the way, she met Qi Xuan, who was carrying a piece of cloth and a large bag of cotton.
"These are fine cotton and good cotton. They should be more comfortable when worn next to the body." Qi Xuan explained with a slight blush on his cheeks.
Su Yunnuan smiled: "Okay, then go and send it to Grandma Yang's house. I'll go see your aunt first."
