Chapter 47: My Big Brother Zhao

After the earthquake, a landslide may occur at any time. After finding people, everyone dared not stay. The two gangs carried their respective people and hurried towards Dingjiatan.

Along the way, although Zhao Hao was wrapped tightly in a fur and a cotton jacket, he was still trembling with cold.

Zhao Hao was now sure that he had a fever.

For a teenager who has usually lacked exercise, was frightened, overworked yesterday, and even gave up his cloak to others, it is very reasonable to have a fever at this time.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but pray silently that he could get rid of his fever as soon as possible. He was very worried. What if his brain was burned and he could never recall the books he had read in his previous life?

That young master is just playing tricks?

So I quickly started to think about it and looked for any medicine in my memory.

He first thought of the double antipyretic drugs, ibuprofen and aspirin.

He didn't know the former, but the latter still had some ideas.

He thought that the main ingredient of aspirin was salicylic acid, which came from the bark of willow. Then he thought that in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", it also mentioned that boiling water with willow bark can reduce fever and relieve pain in patients with joint diseases. I think there must be salicylic acid in the willow bark soup.

After a little reasoning, Zhao Hao hissed and ordered Gao Wu to see if there were any willow trees on the roadside, and to make some bark and boil water for him to drink.

Gao Wu's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately thought of the wormwood that had been there at the time. He thought to himself that the young master said that he did not know medical skills, so he was too modest.

He looked around and finally he went to Dingjiatan to see that there were many willow trees growing by the Yongding River.

While waiting for the ice bed to come, Gao Wu quickly drew his sword and scraped off a large piece of dry willow bark and held it in front of Zhao Hao for him to show it.

"It's this thing." Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Cut it into diced water, boil it into black and then bring it."

Gao Wu nodded and immediately went to find someone to help.

Dingjiatan is a village near the river. There are some families by the river. Zhao Hao's method is not difficult, so you can do it with just some money.

But the little lord was surprised to see it. He thought to himself that the first time he heard that willow bark can cure fever.

Xu Yuanchun also said with concern: "Yes, Brother Zhao should not use folk remedies indiscriminately, right? I'll endure it and wait until I return to Beijing. I'll ask the imperial doctor to treat you."

Zhao Hao grinned and said, "The medicine prescribed by the doctor is too bitter, I can't get used to it."

"He was so burned out, right?" Xu Yuanchun said to Zhao Shizhen: "You can't let him do whatever he wants. What should I do if I eat it for a long time or two?"

"My uncle said it works, then it will work." Zhao Shizhen looked at Xu Yuanchun with dissatisfaction. He could feel the faint hostility of Mr. Xu towards his uncle.

Zhao Shizhen has been living under others for many years and is naturally good at observing the hidden emotions of others.

"Okay, I'm meddling in other people's business." Xu Yuanchun made a fuss and turned around and walked away.

The village man, who thought he didn't know where he came from, actually regarded his kindness as a donkey's legitimate grandson as a donkey's liver and lungs, and deserved to be burned to death.

The reason why Mr. Xu's abnormal demeanor was related to his super brain-study ability. When he heard that Zhao Hao and Li Mingyue spent the night on the mountain last night, he had imagined what their future children would look like.

Then the sound of a horse-head fiddle sounded in Mr. Xu's ears, and he felt that his hair had turned into a green grassland... although he had nothing to do with Li Mingyue.

Li Mingyue was in the temporary shelter house. When she heard that Zhao Hao was sick, she felt anxious as if she was anxious.

But she was tied to a stretcher and couldn't even take a look.

Seeing Xu Yuanchun come in, she couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Is he so ill?"

"Who?" Xu Yuanchun was so harsh that he heard it.

"Young Master Zhao."

"Oh, I think it's very burning, but I actually asked someone to scrape the willow bark and boil water for him." Xu Yuanchun deliberately or unintentionally destructed Zhao Hao and said, "Do you think this person is sick?"

When Prince Liu Side and others heard this, they burst into laughter and echoed Mr. Xu.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Li Mingyue was furious immediately, staring at Xu Yuanchun with wide eyes. If she hadn't been trapped on a stretcher, she could kick it with one kick...

The room immediately became quiet, and these young men were obviously afraid of the bad-tempered Lanling County Lord.

"I didn't say that I mean he didn't see a doctor when he was sick, and ate tree bark by himself." Xu Yuanchun was not afraid of Li Mingyue, but she didn't want to ruin the impression in her heart, so she had to change her words: "I'm here with good intentions, too."

"Hmph, what do you know? My Brother Zhao is so sensible. He can use ice to make fire. Can you?" Li Mingyue said with disdain.

"Use ice to make fire? Are you bragging?" Liu Side and others shook their heads and expressed their disbelief.

Li Mingyue sneered, "Otherwise how did that fire come about? A group of frogs in the well, Yelang is arrogant."

Liu Side and others could not refute it now, so they said in a muffled voice: "Then let's see if the willow bark can be boiled in water. Can he cure him?"

Xu Yuanchun was not concerned about it, but was on Li Mingyue’s casual words, “My Brother Zhao”. These four words pierced into his heart like needles, making Mr. Xu’s face look very ugly.

Fortunately, everyone has been struggling for a day and a night, but they are all unsatisfied, so there is no need to worry about being seen.

When Zhao Hao drank the black willow bark soup, the ice truck that came to pick them up also arrived.

Looking at the ice trucks that came to pick them up, Zhao Hao and others finally understood why Ding Jiatan had ice bars, but Li Chengen and others insisted on waiting for someone to pick them up.

This ice car at the Princess's Mansion is completely different from the ice bar with only one layer of wooden boards!

That is a luxurious carriage, which only uses two rails to replace the wheels. Moreover, the ice car was not driven by bamboo poles, but was pulled by eight coachmen wearing red clothes and skates.

When Zhao Hao was carried into the beautifully decorated carriage with a warm felt tent, he could not feel the cold wind outside the car at all.

Gao Wu and Zhao Shizhen also got into the car, guarding him from left to right.

Zhao Shizhen applied a wet cotton towel on Zhao Hao's head, and Gao Wu massaged Zhao Hao the acupoints such as Dazhui, Quchi, Hegu, Waiguan according to the method he learned from the army.

After a while, Zhao Hao fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't even know when the ice truck would be driven.

Zhao Hao slept for two hours this time. When he woke up, the ice truck had already stopped.

Only then did he realize that he was sweating profusely. Although his hands and feet were still weak, the pain of the bones had disappeared, and he felt relaxed all over.

Zhao Shizhen also saw that Zhao Hao was coming differently. He raised his hand and touched his forehead and couldn't help but say surprise: "It's true that the fever has subsided!"

Zhao Hao knew that it was salicylic acid that was working. Although it was estimated that the medicine would still get burned after it was effective, at least I felt much more comfortable at this moment.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "Have you entered the capital?"

"No, I'm at Yuyuan Pond." Zhao Shizhen replied.

When I came, I passed by Yuyuantan and was four or five miles outside Fucheng Gate.

"Why don't you leave?" Zhao Hao asked.

"It seems that the eldest princess is coming, and everyone outside is waiting for her." Zhao Shizhen replied.

"Oh." Zhao Hao said quietly in his heart. The eldest princess is a widow. It is estimated that these two children are her spiritual sustenance. It is normal for her daughter to be unable to sit still and greet her.

Zhao Shizhen paused and said, "Uncle and uncle are here too."

"Oh." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction, which was even more normal. This young master is the lifeblood of his father...
