Even if Miao Cuilan was here, she would still refuse to drink this medicine, let alone Zhou Shizhi who has always been obedient to her and she is used to being obedient to her
"Xiao Shu, don't be self-willed!" Zhou Shizhi persuaded her for a long time and saw that she still didn't let go, and the medicine bowl in his hand was gradually getting cold, so he turned his heart away, looked at Lu Xiaoshu with piercing eyes, and said, "If you are more willful Don't blame me for being tough."
"You, you, what do you want to do?" Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback.
Zhou Shizhi easily grabbed her with one hand and said, "Tie your hands with a rope, that's okay, right?"
"You!" Lu Xiaoshu was so angry that he could hardly catch his breath! Bastard, this bastard actually threatened her.
"Drink it obediently." Zhou Shizhi said in a soft voice when he saw that her expression was slightly stagnant, with angry and timid eyes.
"I know that another method can also be good." Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips, looked at Zhou Shizhi pitifully, and said, "Can we use another method?"
"You have to drink the medicine first." The medicine bowl was brought to his lips flatly.
The strong smell of medicine came to his nose, and Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help covering his mouth and retching. Zhou Shizhi was taken aback, and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, patted her back and said, "How? Does it matter?"
Lu Xiaoshu's nose was sour, and he forced himself to cry out that he was about to come, and said with teary eyes, "I don't want to drink it, but you insist on forcing me to drink it. Is it true that I can't drink it? People are willing to be sick like this?"
"Okay, okay, if you don't drink it, don't drink it. I'll go to the old doctor and ask him to prescribe another pair that doesn't smell so bad, okay?" Zhou Shizhi said softly.
"No need," Lu Xiaoshu sniffed and said, "Who said you must drink medicine? My mother can scrape my back, it's fine."
"Scraping?" Zhou Shizhi was stunned for a moment, his face turned red suddenly, and he opened his hands in embarrassment, "But, but..."
"You don't know what scraping is, do you?" Lu Xiaoshu said.
"I, I know, I know, but it's inconvenient." Zhou Shizhi's voice became quieter, but his heart was beating violently.
He has also heard of scraping, which would expose the skin of the entire back. He and her haven't reached that level of intimacy yet, so why should he be ashamed? Uh, but if she doesn't mind... he won't either. Anyway, what should be done in a hurry? He is an upright gentleman, and he will not take advantage of others' dangers.
As for letting someone else do it for you, that's definitely not okay.
Lu Xiaoshu was stunned, he couldn't help being angry and funny, his lungs were hurt and he couldn't help coughing loudly, his cheeks flushed red on both sides.
"Where do you want to go! Of course you won't be asked to do it yourself! Besides, where have you ever done such a thing? You don't know how! It will definitely make me very painful! You go and see the shopkeeper's wife If you have time to spare, just ask her to come? She won't be as rough-handed as you!"
Only then did Zhou Shizhi come to his senses and realized that he had thought too much, and couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed, his face flushed, he hesitated twice and quickly agreed, he didn't even remember the medicine bowl, and he seemed to escape Room.
Lu Xiaoshu looked at his fleeing back, flung himself on the pillow and laughed sullenly.
After a while, there was a light knock on the door outside the room, and it was indeed Zhou Shizhi leading the shopkeeper's wife over.
The lady in charge is about forty years old, clean and tidy, neatly dressed, an ordinary woman in the market. The people who work in the inn subconsciously have an instinct to serve customers. Maybe Zhou Shizhi promised her some benefits. He came in and said with a smile: "Miss, do you want to scrape? If it's just a cold, scraping will heal quickly. —”
"Isn't it just a cold?" Lu Xiaoshu interrupted her words lightly by coughing twice. A cold and a fever are actually the same thing, and so is this woman. Do you have to talk about a cold and a fever separately? If she talked about it separately, Zhou Shizhi would definitely have to force himself to drink medicine without saying a word.
"It's so uncomfortable! My mother used to help me scrape the patient's neck and healed up. Thank you, lady boss!" Lu Xiaoshu said pitifully.
Zhou Shizhi also hurriedly said: "Miss Boss, please help her. Be gentle and don't hurt her. Naturally, you will be indispensable for the reward."
The proprietress was very happy to hear his generous words, she quickly nodded and smiled and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you two are polite! Now that this is the case, the villain is ready to go!"
Zhou Shizhi nodded and watched her go.
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips, and said again: "Every time I get sick, my mother will cook porridge for me. The porridge my mother cooks is light and moderate, and sweet, which is just right for my stomach."
"I don't know what kind of porridge Aunt Lu is cooking? I'll make it for you." Zhou Shizhi said hastily.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just ordinary chicken porridge with mushrooms. Boil the rice porridge over high heat, choose tender chicken breast meat, chop it into puree, mix it with shredded ginger and green onion, and pour it Put it into the porridge, and fresh shiitake mushrooms, which are finely cut into dices, are also put in together, and simmered for a while. "
Zhou Shizhi nodded after listening, and said with a warm smile: "Then just wait, I will boil it for you, and the porridge will be ready soon after you have scraped the patient's body."
Lu Xiaoshu let out an "oh" and said, "Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"No, no! Anyway, I have nothing to do." Zhou Shizhi quickly denied it, and when the shopkeeper's wife came over, he left with a smile.
As a result, in the kitchen, Xue Heng said angrily, "Where can I get fresh shiitake mushrooms for her in the winter! Xiao-A Si, you are too pampering her! That's not how you treat her as the master! It's just too much Already!"
"..." Zhou Shizhi said for a moment: "So there are no fresh mushrooms at this time? How good it is!"
Xue Heng was too angry to speak, and left the kitchen angrily.
The four of them stayed in the inn for three days in a row before they hurriedly set off again.
Zhou Shizhi was afraid that if Lu Xiaoshu fell ill again, he would not go further into the mountains. After discussing with Eucommia and Xue Heng, he decided to take the main road in the future, just choose the remote ones.
Xue Heng wanted to say something, but he asked Du Zhong to take a look at it and somehow gave up, noncommittal.
Du Zhong nodded, and said: "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, the wind in the mountains is strong and the road is difficult to travel, and it is very easy to frost and slippery roads. It is right not to walk in the mountains." The following clues may arrive at the destination in a short time.
Zhou Shizhi simply asked them to hire a carriage instead. According to his idea, several people could simply ride in a carriage, but Xue Heng insisted on riding a horse. Zhou Shizhi is not easy to force.
So, he and Lu Xiaoshu rode in the carriage, Du Zhong acted as the driver to drive the carriage, and Xue Heng rode his horse as usual.
The further we go to the northwest, after two rains, the wind has gradually become fierce, and the footsteps of winter are very close. When I got up in the morning and hurried on the road, a thin layer of hoarfrost could be seen condensing on the ground.
But with the carriage, Lu Xiaoshu felt much more at ease. As for the bumps, it's not the same bumps on horseback! As for Xue Heng's complexion, she never considered it at all!
On this day, I was walking to the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, and in the blink of an eye, I suddenly found that there was a crowd of people in front of me, and countless people were chaotically rushing this way.
Du Zhong and the others were taken aback, and quickly stopped the carriage, raised the curtain and said inwardly, "There seem to be refugees in front, I'll ask my second brother to inquire about it, let's stop here for a while."
This area suffers from natural disasters almost every day, and it is not uncommon for refugees to gather and be forced to go to other places to spend their days. Although Du Zhong and others did not come here, they have heard of such situations to some extent.
"Let Second Uncle be careful, don't conflict with them." Zhou Shizhi ordered.
Refugees, especially those who have nothing and are hungry, are no less vicious and terrifying than wolves.
Xue Heng nodded in agreement, and rode away.
Lu Xiaoshu opened the curtain of the car, set up the awning with his hands, squinted his eyes and stretched his neck to look in the distance. Seeing Xue Heng galloping away, he couldn't help but think about it.
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips, secretly thinking that these guys came from the palace. Although they have been wandering all over the world these years, they still have no experience in things they haven't experienced! Hmph, what's the difference between Xue Heng riding such a fat horse and a fat sheep breaking into the pack of wolves? When those refugees were short of food and clothing, seeing this horse and seeing him alone, it would be strange if their eyes didn't shine...
So this is my chance...
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat.
She never gave up the idea of running away. After all, what's the point of following them? There is no freedom at all!
Besides, because she fell ill last time, Zhou Shizhi insisted that Xue Heng take the antidote for her. Although her kung fu has not recovered to the previous level, she is no longer a weak woman who is slaughtered and has no power to fight back.
She had to go back to Maple Leaf Village first to inquire about her parents and see if her sister Xiaoxue returned safely. If the elder sister has already gone back, then she can also rest assured, she might as well go wandering around the world. If the elder sister has not been found, then she will search everywhere by the way.
As long as her sister is alive, she believes that she will find her.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhou Shizhi turned his head and glanced at her, seeing that her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the expression on her face was changing, thinking that she was worried about those refugees rushing over.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoshu looked at him with some confusion, blinked his eyes, forced a smile, and let out a soft "hmm". Along the way, Zhou Shizhi took good care of her and she was really grateful in her heart.
"I also believe that we will be fine!" Lu Xiaoshu said softly.
Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Then let's put down the curtain, it's windy outside."
But Lu Xiaoshu refused, and couldn't help but said: "There are so many refugees, and since they have left their hometown, it can be seen that they can't live without food and clothing in their hometown! I don't know how many days these people haven't eaten. You Say Uncle Zhou will be in danger!"
