When Brother Rong saw Aunt Xue in this condition, he was immediately upset. He was mumbling what to do, but his mind was always full of random thoughts and he couldn't calm down.
"what to do?"
At one moment, she was worried about what Baochai would think when she found out that her mother had such an accident. At the next moment, she couldn't help but blame herself because Aunt Xue was injured because of her.
He shook his head vigorously and forced himself to calm down. He stood up, pushed away the simple wind shelter, and stood in the hazy cold fog.
"Papa..."
After giving myself two ear scrapers, I finally cleared up other distracting thoughts. My thoughts gradually cleared up.
After thinking about it carefully, I followed my own operation yesterday. There is a possibility that Aunt Xue may be infected, but it is not high. Aunt Xue's current condition should be a cold.
How could a pampered person like her suffer from such a person? Even though he was used to living a good life running around every now and then, he almost couldn't resist the cold last night, causing his hands and feet to become unruly in his sleep.
What's more, she is injured now. decrease in immunity.
It is most easy to catch wind chill in the current environment.
However, I only prepared bruise and wound medicine just in case. There was no such thing as wind chill. He is of no use in Ningguo Mansion, and it is difficult to use him outside.
After all, under normal circumstances, wind and cold will not kill anyone in a short period of time.
What should you do if you have a cold?
Brother Rong thought about his previous experiences. In addition to simple and convenient cold medicine, you also need to take care of keeping your body warm and hydrated. You can also cover your sweat appropriately, or massage acupoints such as Fengchi, Yingxiang, Lieque, Dazhui, and Waiguan to relieve pain.
If the symptoms are not particularly severe, you can also boil ginger, scallion, perilla leaf, saposhnikovia, and schizonepeta in water and drink it.
But looking at Aunt Xue's confused look, he couldn't tell whether the symptoms were serious or not. After thinking about it, I shook my head helplessly. Where can I find things like ginger, scallions, and perilla leaves in the mountains and countryside?
What's more important is that it can't stand water.
Boil water?
Uncle Rong suddenly looked at the place where the fire was lit last night. Aunt Xue needs to drink hot water at this time. Although it is inconvenient, she can give it a try.
Why didn't I think of it yesterday? Use mud and plant ashes to burn a crude pottery bowl. Just make sure it doesn't leak and can still heat hot water.
It’s probably too late to make it now. It would take at least four or five hours to dig out the mud, make an earthen kiln, and bake a few crude clay pots. By the time it was done, it was already evening.
I'm not in a hurry to make pottery, so I'm going to find something to eat now.
No matter when the people from Ningguo Mansion find him, he must first prevent Aunt Xue from starving. What patients need most is to supplement protein, vitamins and water.
"Rong'er."
"Madam, are you awake?"
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Brother Rong coming in. Seeing the concerned look on Brother Rong's face, he forced a smile on his lips. "What time is it now?"
"It will be morning. Madam, be careful not to pull the wound. I'll help her lie down." Brother Rong hurriedly went over to support Aunt Xue and whispered, "I'll light a fire for my wife to keep warm. She's right here." Rest. I remember when I was collecting water and firewood yesterday, I saw a few bird nests nearby. Let’s see if we can get some eggs.”
Before Aunt Xue could reply, Brother Rong had already gone out and was busy. I found some dry firewood that was piled on the ground and was not very wet by dew. I used branches to poke the place where the fire was lit last night and set up the wood.
Fortunately, I gained experience in lighting fires yesterday, and finally lit the fire before sweating profusely.
Uncle Rong didn't lose face like this, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He just looked at Aunt Xue looking at him with a strange look, and had a feeling that he couldn't explain.
Brother Rong didn't care, he just looked at her weak look. He silently took off his coat and said, "I have been busy for a while and my whole body is very hot. I have to wear these clothes for you."
Aunt Xue did not refuse and could not refuse. Now is not the time to be pretentious, and she is not a pretentious person. He let Brother Rong cover himself with a slightly tattered and slovenly coat, and said softly: "It's cold outside, Ron'er, come back soon."
A warm sound penetrated my ears.
He was stunned for a moment. Aunt Xue had an unspeakable allure when she was sick, but when he was stunned, Aunt Xue silently raised her hand and wiped his face.
"You used to be such a noble young master, but now you look like this. If people from both houses come to look for you, I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize you."
The two of them were so close together that they could see themselves in each other's eyes.
Brother Rong coughed awkwardly, and Aunt Xue came to her senses and realized the discomfort of her behavior. For a moment, I didn't know whether to take it off or continue to wipe the ashes from Brother Rong's face.
Brother Rong pretended to take her hand off easily and put it into the coat covering her body. "It was windy and cold last night, and the dew was heavy. My wife is injured, so keeping warm is the most important thing. She feels comfortable by the fire. Not to mention that my face is covered in ashes, I am willing to turn into an ugly monster."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Brother Rong chuckled and said that he was looking for a bird's nest.
Xiaoqingliang Mountain is a treasure trove of resources. If a person has enough physical strength, there is no need to worry about starving to death in this mountain.
Brother Rong remembers that in later generations, this place seemed to have been built into a botanical park. There are many kinds of plants inside. Although many of them were planted by people later, most of the places that can be selected as botanical parks also have biodiversity species.
He knew that he was not capable of chasing hares, pheasants, wild ducks and other things, but if he met a silly roe deer, he might be able to beat him up, and he could also find a few more bird's nests.
He also knows that the capabilities of other gorals, badgers, etc. are far from enough.
If we encounter other jackals, wild boars, leopards, etc., we still don’t know who will deliver food to whom.
It's better to look for plants. There are many flowers and plants in the mountains this season, and there should be wood sorrel, goat's nest and the like in such places.
He thought about yesterday's canna again. The leaves of canna can not only be used to hold water, but the stems and petals of canna are also edible.
Cannas and plantains are close relatives, and their stems are both rich in starch. Starch can replenish sugar to the human body, relieve hunger while also bringing energy to the body.
The only disadvantage is that if you eat too much starch, you will easily gain weight.
Brother Rong had a plan in mind, and he also had priorities when looking for things. It didn't take long to empty out several bird's nests and catch a few featherless birds.
At this point, he didn't care about anything. The most important thing was to ensure that he didn't starve to death.
Even for future generations, this is an emergency.
I cut down a lot of cannas and went back to find some sorrel and goat's nest. I also didn’t forget to go there yesterday and pick some sweet fruits that I couldn’t name, but I knew they were edible.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask when she saw him staring at Canna in a daze.
"I'm wondering if this leaf is big enough. I can put some water on it, and then throw in the hot charcoal and boil the water." Brother Rong vaguely remembered where he had seen such a similar operation.
The burning charcoal is very hot and there is not much water in the leaves. It may not be able to boil water, but it should be able to boil cold water into warm water.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Uncle Rong thought of it and had to try it.
I will try again later. I washed the fruit for Aunt Xue first and roasted the baby bird on a wooden stick.
"What is this? It looks like a radish. It's very beautiful." Aunt Xue braced herself and looked at the crystal-like fruits stacked on the leaves, curiously.
"This is the rhizome of wood sorrel, which is commonly known as crystal radish in the countryside. Please try it, madam. It tastes... not bad. It should be edible with the roasted bird."
Brother Rong said hehe. He was afraid that his crude barbecue skills would make Aunt Xue inedible.
Aunt Xue frowned and took a few bites. She was appetizing and took another bite of the roasted baby bird.
I can't eat any more.
Just looking at Brother Rong coming back, his groggy head was attacked by a strong sleepiness, and he fell asleep like this.
Although Brother Rong wanted to make Aunt Xue eat more, he couldn't bear to wake her up again. Just looking at this simple place, I couldn't help but shake my head. Punch out a lot of mud with a tree branch, mix it with water and paste it on the windshield made of windshielding branches.
Before long, he was covered in mud. A few more wind-proof boards were built, and they were all covered with mud. Taking a look at Aunt Xue who was sleeping peacefully inside, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at her masterpiece.
I thought proudly that I still had the ability to survive in the wild. If you are not too short on time, you can build a mud house by yourself using mud and branches.
Hearing his stomach growl, he ran to the stream to wash his face and hands. Then solve the stomach problem.
Time passed like this.
Brother Rong, who was busy, went in to take a look at Aunt Xue and occasionally add some firewood.
But it was later in the afternoon that Uncle Rong finally frowned.
He gently probed Aunt Xue's forehead and touched her hands and feet. Brother Rong frowned, this still doesn't work. Use the method I thought of before to get some warm water, use a cloth to separate the ashes, and bring the water to Aunt Xue.
"Madam, wake up, the hot water is here, drink some first."
"Um……"
Confused, confused voice, confused look.
She was immersed in a dream and couldn't wake up.
"Mrs……"
Brother Rong looked at her dry lips, carefully lifted Aunt Xue's head, and carefully poured hot water between her lips. Seeing her purse her lips like a cat, Fang felt relieved a little.
But she was only slightly relieved, and she was still wondering how to prevent her condition from getting worse.
Give Aunt Xue a massage?
Give her artificial cold relief? To dissipate the cold?
But……
Brother Rong looked at his hands, and there was still mud left between his nails. He looked at Aunt Xue again, she had a slim figure... She was Baochai's mother.
There is no other better way, so I don’t care about so much now.
I don’t know when those guys will find me.
There are two points, Fengchi and Dazhui, one on the back of the head and one on the back. Yingxiang is an acupoint on the face, and Waiguan and Lieqi are on the wrists.
It's probably not too rude.
Brother Rong thought like this, I am here to cure the disease.
He gently held up Aunt Xue's head and pressed Fengchi's acupoints while comforting her. Aunt Xue frowned and explained in a low voice. Seeing her eyebrows spread, Brother Rong also felt happy on his face.
The five acupuncture points have been pressed... but there is no improvement in complexion.
"Madam, I'm offended."
Brother Rong picked up Aunt Xue's hand and lifted up his sleeves.
Rubbing is the best way to dispel cold.
He had known that Aunt Xue was fair and beautiful, but he didn't expect that her fair and tender hands were as transparent as jade. The blood vessels are visible, delicate and approachable, and the smoothness seems to be better than silk.
A beauty more beautiful than an immortal.
Brother Rong sighed softly and complained secretly that Baochai still could not fully inherit Aunt Xue's advantages. Although Baochai is also as white and tender as water, it is still a bit inferior.
No wonder Aunt Xue is an old woman with no wrinkles at all in her thirties. How can skin like this look old?
Treatment is important.
Hands, feet, abdomen, back.
"Rong'er, what are you doing?" How could Aunt Xue feel nothing? She just rubbed her hands and feet until her hands and feet were hot, but her head was so dizzy that she couldn't say anything. After a while, the drowsy feeling got a little better, and he called out slightly reproachfully.
"Ma'am, are you feeling better?"
Aunt Xue opened her eyes, and the current world was no longer hazy. All he saw was a man with a dark face and muddy body looking at him nervously.
"Rong'er?"
"My wife finally woke up."
Aunt Xue lowered her head and looked at Brother Rong's hand... she forced herself to keep her spirits up, stared at Brother Rong coldly, and said, "Take your hand out, I won't tell Bao Yatou."
If it was said that it was cold last night, his hand was an accident. How to calculate this meeting?
After hearing the sound, Brother Rong remembered that his hand was against Aunt Xue's abdominal skin. This is a serious treatment method. Rubbing the whole body to warm up can quickly remove the cold in the body.
This method is more effective than baking over a fire.
He didn't explain, he just watched Aunt Xue's complexion improve and couldn't help but smile. She carefully buttoned up Aunt Xue's coat and put on the sloppy and tattered coat.
"I'm going to heat hot water for my wife. I'll cook some bird eggs to help my wife recuperate." Brother Rong patted the dried mud on his body and walked out of the shed wearing thin and tattered clothes to greet Aunt Xue in front of him. Bring in the mud bowl you made while unconscious.
"Fortunately, there is some sunshine today. Although it didn't shine here for long, it was able to dry the mud in the shade. I thought of a way earlier, which is to stick canna leaves in a bowl made of mud and plant ash. Put it on the fire and burn it. The bird eggs in the water inside can also be cooked, and the mud bowl is not so easy to burst."
Aunt Xue stared blankly at the innocent smile on Brother Rong's face, and then at the tattered jacket he wore to bandage his wounds.
He smiled in the cold wind.
Aunt Xue's heart seemed to be hit by something. She knew that she had misunderstood Brother Rong and didn't know what to say.
Brother Rong thought it was Aunt Xue who was hungry, and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, I have tested it before, it takes time to cook this. Otherwise, it will be like what I did at noon, eating a half-cooked bird egg, the taste is very strange." "
"oh."
"Madam, please drink water first. The bowls of water around you have all been boiled." Brother Rong said with a proud smile, "Some are warmer water, and some have just been boiled."
Aunt Xue took a bowl and drank. He turned sideways and looked outside, only to see a mess outside. I don’t know what Jia Rong did, but I think it must have been very hard work.
There were many broken clay pottery bowls on the ground. They must have been made by Brother Rong himself.
He just wanted to give me a sip of clean hot water.
Take a closer look at Brother Rong...
So reassuring.
