Chapter 210: keep warm
Li Haitang didn't cry, she didn't want to be a burden every time, and having a husband to rely on wasn't a reason for her weakness.
She stood up, seeing that the water on the iron pan was already hot, she put on a cloth towel, and carefully wiped the sand around Xiao Lingchuan's wound, and then applied the ointment she brought on the wound.
The wound medicine is prepared according to the prescription given by Lin Wanjiu in the medical book, which is very easy to use.
Li Haitang once had a piece of tender flesh hooked off by a wire, bleeding profusely, and the wound was smeared with ointment to relieve the pain immediately.
Within a day, the wound scabbed and healed quickly.
However, most of the medicines were on the carriage, and they may have already been buried at the bottom of the river, but she only had a small bottle in her hand, which seemed extremely precious.
To relieve the inflammation and pain of the wound, Li Haitang took the trousers that her husband had replaced, wrapped his lower body with a blanket, and asked him to sit by the fire where she had slept before.
The cold wind outside made the thatch on the roof whistling. If the wind hadn't been a little weaker, the remaining half of the roof would have been blown away.
The raindrops were heavy and urgent, and things three meters away were blurry and unrecognizable. If you look around, you can only see the washed and pure green on the top of the mountain in the distance.
There was no one around, but Li Haitang did not dare to relax her vigilance, she was holding the dagger given by Xiao Lingchuan in her hand.
Guarding against others is indispensable, in order for people to survive, they can abandon all morality, ignorance and shame, and grab some food, in their eyes, it is nothing at all.
The surrounding area was empty and desolate. I don't know where Ji Qiu, Lu Yuanqing and his party went, and whether there was any accident on the way to shore.
Judging from the current situation, Li Haitang really couldn't care less.
The wound medicine took effect quickly, and Xiao Lingchuan felt the tingling pain on his leg relieved a little. He was about to get up to roast the chicken, but was stopped by Li Haitang.
Her tone was undeniably firm, "Husband, I'm unscathed. I can cook. You rest."
After finishing speaking, ignoring Xiao Lingchuan, Li Haitang used a sharp dagger to divide the pheasant into several large pieces and spread the seasoning on it.
She often barbecues with her husband on weekdays, and she has seen a lot of them. She knows the basic steps, and she doesn't seem unfamiliar with them.
The seasoning is very complete, but there is no oil, but this time the pheasant is very fat, with a layer of butter inside the skin.
The fire was burning vigorously, and after a while, the oil from the mountains was roasted and fell on the firewood, making a sizzling sound.
"Husband, didn't we make an appointment with Ruyi and the others to meet at the shore, where are they?"
Li Haitang sniffed, yes, the smell of roast chicken is very fragrant, and the color of the skin is getting darker and darker.
She used a dagger to cut scars on the chicken breast and drumsticks. The meat inside was whitish with red blood streaks, and it seemed that it was not ready for cooking.
"We'll go find someone after the rain stops. Don't worry, they should be safe."
At that time, the river was too fierce, and there were people desperately fighting for wooden boards.
With his skills, he had to go all out, and if he was a little careless, it would cause unexpected consequences, so Xiao Lingchuan didn't notice others.
"Yep."
Li Haitang nodded. She set up a pot on one side of the fire and cooked porridge with pearl rice. The water in the pot bloomed and the fragrance of rice began to permeate.
Xiao Lingchuan sat on the sidelines and watched his wife carry out each item in an orderly manner. As soon as he relaxed, he found that he was exhausted, his mind was confused, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
After the pheasant was roasted, Li Haitang gnawed on the chicken frame and neck with the rice porridge, and left the chicken breast, two chicken legs and wings with the most meat to her husband. She gently covered his forehead with her hands. Fortunately, no signs of fever.
There was a string in Xiao Lingchuan's mind. He cleared the obstacles in the river, took Li Haitang ashore, walked for an hour or two to find the thatched hut, and went to hunt pheasants with his injuries. His body could no longer hold on. , He only woke up after sleeping for half an hour.
The couple quarreled again over the pheasant, and in the end Li Haitang prevailed. Her reason was that she ate and drank well, and when the river water entered the cabin, she was still stuffing snacks in her mouth. Eat more, save your strength, and protect her.
Darkness enveloped the earth, and only the sound of wind and rain came into my ears, embellishing this night even more lonely.
Lu Yuanqing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand, and moved his body a little. He and Zhang Ruyi were lucky, and for the first time, he was not affected when everyone was fighting for the board.
He was also surprised, but after thinking about it, maybe it was because of this face.
Those who came to fight for him saw that he was so elegant and handsome, it was a pity that he was so talented and couldn't let him hang in the river, so let him go so that he could bring his wife to the shore safely.
"Are you sure it's not because of my looks?"
Zhang Ruyi despises Lu Er's idiot very much. When we first met, he didn't realize that he has such a thick skin.
After the couple went ashore, there was no sign of Ji Qiu and Xiao Lingchuan!
Lu Yuanqing had no choice but to drag Zhang Ruyi into the mountains, looking for a place with lush trees to shelter from the rain, and finally he found a tree hole that could accommodate the two of them.
Zhang Ruyi was not as lucky as Li Haitang, her dress was sticking wet to her body, she took it off casually, wrung out the water, and put it on a hidden branch of a tree.
"you you…"
Lu Yuanqing's face suddenly turned red. The husband and wife were sticking together, and there was a big difference between wearing clothes and being naked.
"Me what?"
Zhang Ruyi slanted the corner of her mouth, and acted in a hurry, who would want to have nothing to wear? Besides, there are only two people in the tree hole, or husband and wife, who hasn't seen each other? Pretend to be reserved now, desperate to save face and suffer.
"You don't take it off? If you don't take it off, stay away from me."
Zhang Ruyi hid, and found that there was no space behind her. Lu Yuanqing's wet clothes were pressed against her body, which was damp and cold. The cold air penetrated through the skin, as if it was going to penetrate into the bones.
Although she hadn't traveled far a few times and didn't know much about it, she heard people in the house mention that in winter, in poor families, husband and wife rely on each other's body temperature to keep warm, hugging each other and curling up into a ball.
Zhang Ruyi also wanted to be hugged by her husband, but she was too embarrassed to say so.
Lu Yuanqing covered his face, he must have been bewitched, when the passengers smashed the cabin door, he heard the cry of the lady, his heart was so soft that he thought she was weak.
Listen, is this something a weak little lady can say? She has not changed, she is still the overbearing Miss Zhang.
Seeing that Lu Er didn't move, Zhang Ruyi's face was full of black lines, it was windy and rainy outside, and now she was cold and hungry, and she didn't know when it would be her head.
There are also snacks and pastries bought from Yongan on the carriage. Of course, the carriage is gone now, so it’s useless to say these things. She has no possessions, and even if she has money, she can’t find anyone selling things around. The night is long, go on hungry.
