Chapter 130 Adding Money
Yu Zheng put the candy into Jiang Shu's mouth with the tip of his tongue. Jiang Shu tasted the sweetness and held it tightly, refusing to give it back to Yu Zheng.
Realizing her intention, Yu Zheng used his lips and tongue together, and after some struggle, he snatched the candy back.
"Hmm -" Jiang Shu snorted, finally knowing what it meant to eat sweets together.
Hearing this melodious moan, Yu Zheng was moved for a moment, and he felt that the energy and blood in his body were about to boil.
Fearing that he might not be able to hold back the kiss, Yu Zheng hurriedly handed the candy back to Jiang Shu. He couldn't bear to leave her soft lips and lay on her shoulder, panting slightly.
Jiang Shu held the sugar in her mouth and listened to Yu Zheng's low breathing. The hot breath sprayed onto her ears, making her numb and itchy.
Yu Zheng hugged her tightly and it took half a cup of tea to calm down before returning to normal.
Zhuzi knocked on the door at the right time: "Mr. Jiang, your medicine bag is steamed."
Jiang Shu then remembered that Yu Zheng still had bruises on his back and needed hot compresses and medicine.
"Hurry up and get on the bed. I'll get the medicine bag." Jiang Shu gently pushed Yu Zheng away and hurried to open the door.
Yu Zheng was very obedient. When Jiang Shu came back with the medicine bag, he was already lying on the bed with his clothes half off.
However, Jiang Shu's attention was not on Yu Zheng's strong back, but on the bruises, feeling heartbroken.
"Does it hurt?" Jiang Shu asked softly and put the warm medicine bag on it.
Yu Zheng frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "It will hurt a little when you touch it, but it's better if you don't touch it."
Dr. Feng said that the bruises did not seem to be serious, but in fact they recovered slowly. Fortunately, no bones or organs were injured, so the impact was not significant.
Thinking of the landslide, Jiang Shu was worried: "I wonder how Tanyu and the others are doing."
The situation was urgent at that time, Zhuiyun took Tan Yu and fled in different directions with them, not knowing whether they could escape.
"Don't worry, Zhuiyun will try his best to protect Tanyu." Yu Zheng comforted him warmly, but he was not sure in his heart.
The landslide was not something that humans could resist, especially on that day when the collapse was extremely violent. It was not easy to escape.
However, without knowing the specific situation at the moment, Yu Zheng could only comfort Jiang Shu in this way.
Jiang Shu calmed down and said slowly: "When Dr. Feng comes back, we will give him some more money and ask him to take us into the city tomorrow."
"Yeah." Yu Zheng also had the same intention.
If you delay for one more day, things will become more serious.
No matter how severe the landslide is, there will always be survivors with so many guards, and they will definitely be looking for them everywhere. If it cannot be found, it will be reported to the government and Beijing, causing riots.
After the medicine bag cooled down, Jiang Shu applied ointment to Yu Zheng.
To avoid worrying Jiang Shu, Yu Zheng gritted his teeth and endured, resisting without moaning.
After applying the medicine and putting on his clothes, Yu Zheng asked Jiang Shu, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
There was nothing to do and staying in the house would only cause random thoughts, so Jiang Shu agreed.
Although the town is small and remote, the scenery is very good. Jiang Shu walked and watched, and the depression in his heart dissipated a little.
Shortly after lunch, Dr. Feng came back.
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng hurriedly discussed with him.
"Tomorrow? No, I still have a lot of things to deal with. It will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Dr. Feng refused.
Jiang Shu was anxious: "Let's add more money."
"This is not about money." Dr. Feng didn't take it to heart and picked up the cup to drink water.
After driving for half an hour, he was dying of thirst.
"We'll give you one tael of silver." Jiang Shu put the silver on the table.
Doctor Feng's eyes lit up when he saw it. He looked at the two of them and said, "Why is it so urgent? I can't wait for two days."
One tael of silver was equivalent to a few days' revenue of his drug store. Even after all the hard work, he could not earn so much from just one medical visit.
"We are really in a hurry, please excuse me." Jiang Shu added another word.
Doctor Feng looked at the white money on the table, frowned and compromised: "Okay, I will go to the county seat early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
There were a total of ten taels of silver, and they had very little left.
They had to save some to avoid expenses for food and accommodation when they arrived in the county town.
In the evening, Jiang Shu finished applying medicine to Yu Zheng, and the two of them lay on the bed, thinking about their plans for entering the city tomorrow.
Jiang Shu was recovering from his illness and was in low spirits. Jiang Shu fell asleep while talking.
Yu Zheng used his long arms as a pillow, held her in his arms, and slept in each other's arms.
This was the last night they slept together, and Yu Zheng cherished it especially.
Have a good night's sleep.
The two of them got up early the next morning and urged Dr. Feng on his way.
"No matter how urgent you are, you have to eat first. We have to go to the county town for a full day, so we can't go hungry."
Doctor Feng filled the water bag and said, "Besides, even if you don't want to eat cows, you have to eat them."
As soon as it got light, he asked Zhuzi to graze the cattle and cut some fodder for later use.
Doctor Feng made sense, so Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng had no choice but to wait patiently.
When the morning sun rose and the golden sunlight broke through the sky, the pillar came back with a load of grass on its back and the cow.
Ma also made breakfast, and the three of them ate quickly.
After eating, after putting the cow on the carriage and getting ready to go on the road, Ma brought a food box.
"These are all freshly steamed buns. You can take them with you to eat on the road."
Jiang Shu took it and put it in the car, while Doctor Feng was still instructing Zhu Zhu.
"When someone comes to buy medicine while I'm away, you should ask clearly and fill it according to the prescription. If you are unsure, don't sell it and wait until I come back. Human life is not a joke. You have to remember."
"Yes, Master, I have recorded everything." Zhuzhu responded honestly.
"Okay, let's go quickly, but I'm only going for two or three days, so I'm not worried." Ma waved his hand for them to leave quickly.
Doctor Feng waved his whip and drove the bullock cart on the road.
The ox-cart is not as fast as the horse-drawn carriage, but it is better because of its endurance, which is better than walking.
In the not spacious carriage, there were two bundles of grass taking up half of the space. Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were huddled together, shaken by the bumps on the mountain road.
Jiang Shu, who had recovered from the cold, felt dizzy from being shaken and frowned.
After Yu Zheng saw her, he took her into his arms and let her lean on his broad shoulders.
"Are there better?" Yu Zheng asked warmly.
Jiang Shu nodded and spoke to him softly.
After driving for half a day, we stopped by the roadside to rest at noon and let the cattle eat grass and drink water.
"Eat quickly, and continue on your way after eating." Doctor Feng handed them the steamed buns and water.
Jiang Shu took the steamed bun and asked, "How far is it from the county seat?"
Dr. Feng gnawed on the steamed bun and said, "It's forty or fifty miles and we can enter the city before sunset."
Jiang Shu heard this and looked at the bright sun in the sky, understanding that it would still take half a day and there was no point in hurrying.
After feeding the cattle with grass and water, continue on the road.
Seeing the sun turning westward and setting a little bit, Jiang Shu's heart became excited.
"Shall we go directly to the county government office after entering the city?" Jiang Shu asked.
This is the strategy they discussed last night.
"Yeah." Yu Zheng nodded: "My name can prove my identity. I'm not familiar with the place, so it's best to let the county magistrate help."
In this way, they no longer have to worry about food and accommodation. The two made up their minds and went straight to the county government office after entering the city.
But fate is not as good as fate, and the ox cart was stopped when it was at the gate of the city.
"Open the car door and check." The city guard ordered Doctor Feng.
Doctor Feng hurriedly opened the car door and muttered in confusion: "I don't usually check, what happened today?"
Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu sat in the car and met the gaze of the defenders without fear.
Seeing their appearance, the soldiers guarding the city were stunned. Then they picked up the portraits in their hands and compared them carefully. After confirming that they were correct, they sternly said: "It's them, take them away!"
