Chapter 410: Saved
Although Mr. Tan did not wake up and his fever subsided despite taking the medicine, the four of them could not feel relieved so quickly.
Ah Da was still hesitant, not sure whether he should go to a doctor or get medicine.
If Miss Wei's medicine doesn't work, they might delay their husband's condition if they go to the doctor again!
Xiumei could see the hesitation and entanglement of these people and said: "Don't worry, life is at stake. If my lady is not sure, she will not say this." Ada looked hesitant and frowned: "I know
you Miss Jia will definitely not disregard human life, but..." I don't know if this medicine will be useful.
Xiumei added: "If you don't believe that my lady's medicine can cure your husband, just wait two hours. If your husband hasn't woken up after two hours, you can follow the plan you made." Go to the city to find the doctor."
After hesitating for a while, Ada finally agreed.
Because if we set off now, even if we can successfully enter the city and find the doctor smoothly, it will be at least tomorrow before we can bring him back.
After the four of them waited anxiously for an hour and a half, Mr. Tan woke up.
When I probed Mr. Tan's forehead again, I was pleasantly surprised to find that his fever had gone away.
This is truly divine! The fever went away so quickly!
After that, Wei Ruo mixed another bowl of medicine for Mr. Tan, and then told Ada and the others to give Mr. Tan medicine every three hours.
By the next morning, Mr. Tan had basically recovered, looking refreshed and free of any illness.
Knowing that he was saved by Wei Ruo's medicine, Mr. Tan thanked Wei Ruo: "Thank you, Miss Wei. I really don't know how to thank the girl this time." Mr. Tan said.
"No need to say thank you, it's fate that you and I can meet here." Wei Ruo said calmly.
It never occurred to her to ask for favors or money in exchange under such circumstances.
"Miss Wei, you are an unusual woman." Mr. Tan commented.
"Sir, please have a good rest. Although your symptoms are almost 90% better, you still need to rest." Wei Ruodao.
After Mr. Tan was cleared, Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San immediately set off and continued shoveling the snow to clear the way with Xu Fengyuan, Lu Yuhong and others.
Today is already the sixth day, everyone has to speed up the progress.
Staying here for one more day will increase the risk.
This time, Mr. Tan was infected with cold and was fortunately treated by Miss Wei. I don’t know who got the disease next time, and I don’t know if he will be so lucky and encounter Miss Wei with the medicine.
Ten of them dug for three days and only dug about one-fifth of the way to the city gate.
If the weather doesn't get warmer and the ice and snow don't melt, they will need to dig for another twelve days at this rate...
Everyone feels a little heavy.
These three days have already made several people's bodies a little exhausted, and they also have some blisters on their hands.
Even though they practiced martial arts, riding and shooting on weekdays, it was a bit too much for them.
Digging for another twelve days... they might not be able to do it...
but even if the road ahead is bleak, they still have to keep digging.
If you dig, at least you can do your part to hold your destiny in your own hands. If you don't dig, you can only resign yourself to fate.
Just when everyone thought it would take a long time to dig before they could reach the city gate, things took a turn for the better.
At noon that day, just as everyone took a few bites of the noodles Wei Ruo had prepared for them, they noticed several figures appearing in the white snow in the distance.
The distance is very far, and the figure is as small as an ant, but it is indeed a figure.
And the number of people is very large, there are dozens of people in the crowd.
After observing for a while, everyone discovered that those people were shoveling snow and digging tunnels just like them! "It's the people in the city! They are digging out!"
After discovering this fact, Liu Yu shouted happily.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuhong and Gao Wentian also cheered.
Everyone finally saw hope, and suddenly they became excited and quickly accelerated their actions.
Two hours later, the people on both sides reunited.
Seeing the fifty or sixty government officers and soldiers and ordinary people on the other side holding shovels, shovels, hoes and other tools, everyone felt a rush of heat in their hearts.
After the excitement, everyone immediately returned to the shed to deliver the good news to Wei Ruo.
It turned out that Mr. Yuan had taken countermeasures on the first day of the heavy snow. He organized government officials and soldiers and a large number of people in the city to mobilize everyone to shovel the snow to clear the way.
Because Mr. Yuan governs well, both ordinary people and gentry respect and trust Mr. Yuan, so everyone cooperates very well.
In addition to clearing the snow near his home, he also took the initiative to send people to support the government office and went out of the city to clear snow with the government officials.
This makes the whole process of shoveling snow and clearing roads so fast.
After hearing this, Xiumei exclaimed with excitement: "Master Yuan is so awesome! He actually arranged for people to dig outside the city so quickly!"
Wei Ruo agreed very much that he could organize a large number of people to dig out the inside of the city in such a short period of time. Main roads and excavation outside the city, their deployment and execution capabilities are all outstanding.
Xu Fengyuan explained the situation to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, the road dug in the city is wide enough for your carriage to pass, but the section of road we dug is relatively narrow, only big enough for one person and one horse to go parallel." "It's okay, Mr. Xu
. You go back first, I will wait for the people in the city to dig the road to my place before setting off." Wei Ruo replied.
"No, it's too dangerous to leave you two women in this wilderness." Xu Fengyuan objected.
"Xiumei and I can take care of ourselves, and now that the snow has covered the fields, not to mention people, even animals, there is no danger. What's more, it won't be long before the people in the city will be gone. This section of the road is widened," Wei Ruo explained.
"This..." Xu Fengyuan was still a little worried.
"Brother Xu, please go back first. I will stay here to take care of my sister." Wei Yichen said.
Then Wei Yichen patted Xu Fengyuan on the shoulder and motioned with his eyes to him and others to leave as soon as possible.
Xu Fengyuan instantly understood Wei Yichen's meaning and knew that it would not be a good thing for Wei Ruo for the rest of them to stay.
So Xu Fengyuan and others left first.
Mr. Tan also went into the city escorted by four servants.
Before they left, Wei Ruo gave them the remaining two pills and the porcelain bottle containing the pills.
Wei Ruo, Xiumei and Wei Yichen were the only three people left in the shed.
Wei Yichen sat on the bamboo bed covered with blankets outside and watched quietly.
During dinner, Wei Ruo made a fire to cook as usual, but this time the portions needed to be cooked were smaller, and there were only three of them.
Wei Ruo made pancakes with flour and dried meat and fried them on the pot.
"Eat it." Wei Ruo handed the meat pie to Wei Yichen.
Wei Yichen looked at the meat pie in his hand and did not speak immediately.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it suit your taste?" Wei Ruo asked.
