Chapter 104 Yunli County?
When she said this, tears started to fall. She felt very regretful. Why didn't she control this child when she knew she was a worry?
Huang frowned tightly and looked at Xu with dissatisfaction, "How can you be a mother? In a scene like that, every adult would hold their child tightly in their arms, but you let the child tilt her head to look at it. Is that so beautiful? She is so young, how can she keep calm?"
I'm afraid he was scared to death.
Xu cried and said, "I never thought she was so brave. She was not afraid of those thieves and dared to watch."
Zhou Xing hugged her shoulders and kept comforting her, "It's okay, mom. Xiao Tao'er will be fine. She is usually very energetic."
Zhou Gu and Zhou Mi stayed by their sister's side with their lips pursed, hoping that she would get better soon.
Before everyone had recovered from the pain of losing their team members, such a big thing happened to the children again. The camp was suddenly filled with gloom and no one could enjoy their meals anymore.
But people are always bad, and we can't stay here forever. There is no medicine here and we might encounter other thieves.
Everyone took advantage of this opportunity to make a few simple lassoes, put them around the horses' necks, and tied the ropes to the cart. Then the simple horse-drawn carriage was ready. Compared to an ox cart, except for the animals, everything else was the same, except that the lasso around the neck was simpler.
Zhou Guo was lying in the carriage, thinking about Zhou Tao who was running a fever in another cart. It was a pity that she was not a medical student.
She didn't know if the herbs she picked last time were effective. It seemed she had to go pick them again, just in case they were useful. Anyway, they wouldn't kill people. Her master was knowledgeable and experienced, so she didn't know if he had any solution.
Mr. Zhao looked at them helplessly and said, "I am just a rough man who knows a few martial arts skills and can't even recognize a few words. How can I save people?"
"Old man, you have traveled a lot and seen a lot. Please think about it carefully. Is there any way? Look at the children. If the fever doesn't go away, I'm afraid they will become stupid."
"Yes, yes, old man, please think of a solution."
What could the old man do? He could only recognize a handful of big characters, and when it came to herbs, he was not even as good as his own apprentice. He had never raised a child in his life and had no experience at all. How could he have such skills?
But since everyone refused to leave without asking for help, he had no choice but to come up with an idea, "I think we should hurry up and find a doctor somewhere ahead. Even though I'm old, I don't know how to reduce fever."
That's all it can do.
Everyone traveled day and night. When they were hungry, they ate some raw rice, drank some cold water, and gnawed some fresh and tender wild vegetables, which was considered a meal.
After two days, Zhou Guo looked at the road which was getting wider and wider, and saw fields and crops gradually appearing along the way. He knew that they were not far from the village, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Where there is a village, there is a town, and where there is a town, there is a county, and he can find a doctor there.
Everyone was ecstatic.
Mrs. Xu held her daughter, who was already feverish and unable to wake up, in her arms. With red eyes, she kept saying, "It's all right, it's all right, we'll just have to wait until we find a doctor. Our Taotao will be saved. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother is with you."
After walking for most of the day, under the guidance of the locals, everyone finally made a detour and arrived at the gate of the county town. The gate was deserted, with no one entering or leaving.
There were several gatekeepers standing on each side.
"Yun...Li? County, these are the words, right? The name of this county is quite unique." Zhou Guo was stunned when he saw the name of the county.
"Stop, where are you from? Where is your pass? Show it to me." The soldier at the city gate stopped the head of the village and frowned as he looked at the endless team behind him.
He said with a smile: "General, we are refugees fleeing to the south. There was a disaster in the south, and we fled all the way here. We don't have a pass, but some of our children are sick and need to go to the city to see a doctor. Do you think it would be convenient for us?"
As he spoke, he casually passed the large silver ingot in his hand over from under his sleeve.
The soldier on the other side softened his expression, no longer as stiff as before. "You can go in, but it's impossible for so many people to go in. I can only let you take five people with you. You must come out before dark. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if something happens."
The village head smiled and said he remembered it, then waved his hand back. People holding children and those who were seriously injured stood up one after another.
This time there are not just five people, there are more than five sick children.
The adults asked the children to come, but how could the children choose among themselves? After choosing and choosing, everyone started to argue. Everyone felt that their children were seriously ill and had to go to the city with them.
It was getting late, and if they continued to argue like this, the city gate would be closed and they would be unable to enter.
Li Zheng was turning around in circles in a hurry.
Zhou Guo said: "We can't get in, but the people inside can come out. You can take two people in and ask the doctor to come out, so that everyone's illness can be cured."
The village head's brows relaxed, "I'm just afraid the doctor won't agree!"
"We have money! As long as we have money, why are we afraid that we can't hire a doctor? Didn't you do a good job with that soldier just now? Why are you so confused now?" Money makes the world go round. If one tael of silver doesn't work, then ten taels or a hundred taels will do. She didn't believe that the doctor would refuse to treat her even though he had money. It wasn't against the law.
The village head suddenly realized and slapped his head, "Yes, I am confused, then I will go in."
He turned around, picked out two strong young men and went in.
The people who were still arguing nearby were stunned when they saw him come in.
"Hey, hey, Lizhang, why did you go in by yourself? Our patients haven't come in yet. What's the point of you going in? Wait for us!"
She was about to rush in with the child in her arms, but was stopped by a soldier who said coldly, "Stop! You can't enter without a pass."
"No, sir, we are in the same group with him." Pointing to the headman who was rushing in front, he said hurriedly: "He is old and his memory is not very good. He left us behind. We went in to see the patient, but the patient hasn't come in yet. Ah, just let us in."
After a long conversation, I got two words: "No."
No matter how much we persuaded him, he just wouldn't let us in. Everyone was so anxious that they were scratching their heads. "What's wrong with this place? He's old and confused, isn't he? Why didn't he bring the kids in?"
Xu argued with the man for a long time, and when she turned back, she found that the head of the village had already gone in. She was so anxious that she turned back to find Huang and said, "Mom, please give me some money. I will take Xiao Tao'er in by myself. Her illness cannot be delayed any longer. If she continues to have a fever, even if she recovers, I'm afraid her brain will be in trouble." She had just seen the head of the village stuffing money into someone's pocket. Even if she didn't have a pass to enter the city, she had money to do it.
Huang said, "Don't panic, the village head has gone in to get the doctor."
Zhou Dacang also came out to appease everyone.
The noisy scene finally quieted down.
