Just getting up and moving to the inside of the bed made him out of breath. Xiao Zongqing simply covered his head with the sheet, not wanting to let Shang Jun approach him. Shang Jun lightly tugged at the sheets and comforted: "Ruan Tingfeng is already decocting medicine for you, don't worry, you will be fine."
Lifting a corner of the sheet, revealing his eyes, Xiao Zongqing stared at Shang Jun and growled, "I'm not worried about myself, but you, who run around all day, should be worried." The low growl caused him to stop. Coughing, Xiao Zongqing covered his mouth tightly with his hand, preventing himself from coughing in front of Shang Jun, for fear of infecting him.
Don't start, Mr. Shang covered the light mist from the corner of his eyes, and with a choked sob, he said softly: "I have found the people stationed in the army, they will bury the body soon, and the epidemic will soon pass." These words, perhaps He is comforting Xiao Zongqing, or perhaps he is comforting himself.
Xiao Zongqing suddenly shouted: "Lin Yi."
"Yes, Third Young Master." A gray-clothed man flashed into the tent and stood respectfully in front of the bed.
Leaning against the edge of the bed, although it was a little difficult to speak, Xiao Zongqing still said loudly: "Give the green hanging grass to Shang Jun, and cooperate with him fully. In the future, his orders will be mine, do you hear?"
Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at Shang Jun, the reproach in his eyes was undisguised, but he still replied firmly: "Yes."
Shang Jun wanted to reach out to help Xiao Zongqing, who was panting, but he buried himself in the sheets again. Shang Jun retracted his hand in a daze, got up and walked to the curtain, and wanted to say something, but he was so pale, he only left a low sentence "rest well". He felt that he had just escaped from the tent, not knowing how to face San'er.
Ruan Tingfeng watched Shang Jun come out of the tent tiredly, his footsteps were a little shaky, the moonlight shone on his thin shoulders, making him thinner and thinner. Sadness, guilt, distress, and more, self-blame.
Following behind Shang Jun, he wanted to say something to comfort him several times, but felt that what he said was in vain.
In the middle of the night in Huqiu Village, two figures in front and behind were drawn very long by the moonlight.
"Young Master Ruan." Shang Jun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ruan Tingfeng who had been walking behind him for a long time.
Ruan Tingfeng was stunned and walked up to Shang Jun, only to see that he was already looking as usual at this time, and the faint gentle aura gradually surrounded him. Ruan Tingfeng sighed secretly, he is so strong in self-control, he must still be sad about Xiao Zongqing in his heart, but his emotions have been adjusted.
Shang Jun said apologetically: "I lost control just now, please forgive me."
Ruan Tingfeng shook his head gently and replied, "Young Master Shang doesn't need to apologize, it's Ruan who failed to do a good job."
Shang Jun no longer greeted him in vain, and said in a deep voice: "You will go to Lin Yi to pick up two green hanging grasses later. I hope you can boil it into a concoction that can cure the disease as soon as possible. The garrison and I will go up the mountain to bury the rot tomorrow morning. corpses, and do our best to solve this epidemic as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will find a way to boil the medicine as soon as possible." Ruan Tingfeng suddenly thought of something, and explained, "When you bury the corpse, the depth should not be less than two feet, and you must put a thick layer under it. layer of lime." Only in this way can we ensure that the carrion will no longer harm the people.
"I understand." Glancing at the tent in the distance, Shang Jun clasped his fists and lowered his head and pleaded, "Please, help me take good care of San'er."
Ruan Tingfeng hurriedly held Shang Jun's hand and promised, "I will definitely do it." It was his responsibility to treat and save people, but Shang Jun and Xiao Zongqing were both benevolent and righteous people who came to rescue this epidemic. But he is not qualified to accept this gift from him.
Shang Jun said no more and ran towards the entrance of the village.
mountain top.
"Shang Jun? Shang Jun?" Wang Ping whispered several times before Shang Jun came back to his senses. Since the morning, he has been in a trance, which is far from his imposing appearance yesterday afternoon. Know if something happened in the village. Wang Ping asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
Shang Jun shook his head gently and replied, "It's okay." He was just a little worried about San'er.
Seeing that he didn't want to go into details, Wang Ping was also a well-informed person, so he didn't ask much. He pointed to several huge mounds in front of him and said, "The bodies are buried deep, let's go down the mountain."
Shang Jun looked up and saw that all the animal carcasses had been buried. In the place where the carcasses were originally piled up, soldiers were sprinkling lime on them. On the top of the mountain, there was almost no disgusting smell of carrion. A light earthy flavor and a strong lime flavor.
Shang Jun suggested: "General Wang, it is better to ask the soldiers to camp and rest in the back of the village. It is more appropriate to return to the army after ten days if there is no infection."
"I know this, and I have ordered people to seal the wells. The wells in other villages have also been sealed with stone bricks. No one can drink the well water."
Did he just seal the well? Shang Jun laughed lowly, it really is the way of doing things for soldiers, this is good, once and for all, it is suffering for the common people who used to live on well water. After the epidemic, the well has to be re-drilled. Shang Jun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Wang's work is really fast and resolute."
Wang Ping obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and accepted it generously, "It's too much."
The soldiers were already packing up the tools they brought. Lord Shang was thinking about Xiao Zongqing and said, "Mr. Shang has something to do, so he left first."
Although I have only known each other for a day, I was a little unhappy when I was in the military camp, but Wang Ping had a very good impression of this man named Shang Jun. Few people could go into the camp with their bare hands, just to relieve the people of the plague. scourge. Wang Ping laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Wang is very happy to meet Shang Jun, and there will be a future."
Shang Jun nodded and replied sincerely: "Shang Jun is also the same, there will be a future."
Hurrying back to the village, Shang Jun went straight to Xiao Zongqing's tent, opened the curtain, and saw Ruan Tingyu sitting on the edge of the bed, brows furrowed, and using a Jinpa to wipe the sweat of San'er, Shang Jun walked over slowly and asked softly. Said: "Ting Yu, how is he?"
Ruan Tingyu turned back and looked at Shang Shangjun's worried eyes, and could only shake his head gently. Xiao Zongqing had been in a coma for several hours, and his condition was more serious than the others.
Ruan Tingyu was speechless, Shang Jun's heart suddenly raised in his throat, he sat down on the edge of the bed, patted Xiao Zongqing's cheek, and whispered, "San'er, San'er."
No matter how he slapped, Xiao Zongqing had no other response except frowning in pain and breathing turbidly. The high temperature passed from his cheeks almost burned his palms. Shang Jun said anxiously, "Where's your brother?"
"He went to decoction, let me take care of Mr. Xiao." Putting the wet jinpa on Xiao Zongqing's forehead, Ruan Tingyu knew that nothing could comfort Shang Jun now, but she still couldn't bear to look at him With a sad face, she advised, "Don't worry too much, you haven't rested for two days and two nights, go to sleep for a while, I will take good care of him."
Shang Jun shook his head, put Xiao Zongqing's exposed hand back into the quilt, and replied softly: "I'm fine, there are many patients in other accounts, you can take care of them, and leave San'er to me." How could he sleep when his life was at stake.
Ruan Tingyu sighed softly and got up to leave, but seeing the exhaustion on Shang Jun's face, Ruan Tingyu asked worriedly: "What to do with those carrion corpses? Okay?" If he hasn't dealt with it yet, doesn't he have to be busy on both sides again
Shang Jun raised his head and said: "The garrison has buried the bodies, you tell your brother, they will camp in the back mountain for ten days, and let him visit once a day, in case some of the soldiers are infected with the disease. "The concoction to cure the epidemic has not been prepared yet, I hope that among the hundred elite soldiers, no one will be infected with the epidemic like the three children.
Ruan Tingyu nodded lightly and replied, "I see." When he walked to the door, Shang Jun's gentle and slightly anxious voice came, "Please bring it over when the medicine is ready."
Ruan Tingyu's hand froze when she lifted the curtain, and she turned back to look at Shang Jun. His thoughts were all on Xiao Zongqing. He kept changing his handkerchief and wiping his sweat. From entering to her leaving, he even looked straight at him. Haven't seen her. In his heart, whether a friend is far more important than her, in the prison of Feiying Village, whether he also takes care of her like this. With a touch of grief, Ruan Tingyu only replied softly, "En", and then slowly backed out.
San'er's shirt was wet with sweat, and it was transparently attached to his body. His chest was ups and downs because of the turbid breathing. Even if he was unconscious, his brows were always locked. Son, nothing more can be done. When they first entered the village, the sick villagers struggled in pain, panting and moaning. Finally, the dark blue and dead faces flashed in front of Shang Jun. Shang Jun closed his eyes in pain, afraid of San'er's face and those dead and dead. Faces overlap. Only by holding on tightly to the edge of the bed can I stop my trembling hands.
Time passed again and again in the veil, and Shang Jun didn't know how long it had passed until Ruan Tingyu's soft voice sounded in his ear, "Shang Jun, the medicine is ready."
He came back to his senses in a daze, and the fear in his heart was always tormenting. Shang Jun looked at the dark green concoction and asked, "Is it useful?"
Ruan Tingyu didn't dare to say that it would be effective, so he could only answer truthfully: "Big brother has increased the weight of green constricted grass, it should be useful, some villagers have already taken it, and there is no effect yet."
"Give it to me." Shang Jun sighed softly, he was concerned and messed up. After taking the concoction, Shang Jun replied: "I'm too nervous, you go to work."
Ruan Tingyu nodded slowly and withdrew, because she couldn't get involved at all.
Putting the concoction on the bedside, Shang Jun stabilized his mind. He had to believe that Ruan Tingfeng's medicine would be effective.
"San'er, San'er, wake up." He slapped Xiao Zongqing's cheek harder, and even helped him to sit up. Shang Jun tried his best to wake him up.
It wasn't until Xiao Zongqing's face was photographed that it was red and swollen that he seemed to wake up, just opened his eyes, but had no focus. Shang Jun held his face and shouted: "San'er, San'er, you can see clearly, I am Shang Jun, wake up."
After shouting for a while, Xiao Zongqing's eyes slowly became a little brighter. "Shangjun? My head hurts so much, it's so hot..." The hoarse voice couldn't make out what he was saying.
"I know, come, open your mouth, and drink the medicine. You'll get better after a good night's sleep." Shang Jun hurriedly brought the medicine over, and while talking to him, he fed the medicine spoon by spoon into his mouth. Lest he faint again.
Some mechanically drank the decoction fed by Shang Jun, Xiao Zongqing lay flat on the bed, his eyes fixed on the top of the bed, although his breathing was still sluggish and cloudy, his mind was much clearer. Compared with Shang Jun's nervousness, he was obviously Much calmer, he said in a low voice, "You will coax me. You said, will I become a ghost after I die, and I can still float around, but I'm at ease, but unfortunately you can't see me, so you can't get along with me. I'm drinking."
