The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 55: Danger on the Road (1)

Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng were afraid that they would not be able to cross the dangerous cliff in time, so they tried their best to control the carriage and ran as hard as they could.

They had been driving the carriage for half a month, always at a moderate pace. They had never driven so fast before, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.

When we were halfway through the journey, it suddenly started to drizzle.

The rain was not heavy, but the horses were running quite fast, causing the rain to fly directly onto Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng's faces, and soon they could not see the road clearly.

"Peipei, what should we do?" Lu Lifeng stopped the carriage, put on his straw raincoat, and said to Tang Peipei.

It's raining and the road is not very clear. How do we get here?

Tang Peipei also put on her raincoat and looked at the sparse rain. She looked around and saw that there was not even a place to shelter from the rain. After thinking about it, she decided to just walk forward and see what happened.

"There's no place to take shelter here. Let's go ahead and look for a pavilion where we can rest our feet."

Lu Lifeng nodded, "That's the only way."

Lu Lifeng's driving skills are obviously better and more stable than Tang Peipei's.

Fortunately, Tang Peipei had been driving a horse-drawn carriage for half a month and was very familiar with it. Although his skills were not very good, he drove it fairly steadily.

The two drove the carriage at a rapid speed for another incense stick of time, but still could not find a place to shelter from the rain. The entire area was flat and everything was visible at a glance.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, causing Tang Peipei to almost close her eyes. However, there was no place to shelter from the rain. They couldn't just stop on the road, right?

Tang Peipei didn't expect this to happen. If she had known, she would have rested in Sanfeng Town for a night before leaving. How could the rain come so suddenly? Now it's neither rising nor falling, neither far nor near. What should her family do?

Lu Lifeng in the front was not in a good condition either, but fortunately he was still able to keep the carriage stable.

Lu Lifeng stopped the carriage and said, "Peipei, what should we do? The rain is getting heavier."

Tang Peipei was also stumped. She looked at everything around her. As the rain got heavier and the sky got darker, her visibility became worse and worse.

Lu Xinyu in the carriage said, "Dad, sister, why don't we walk slower and see if there are any mountains ahead? If there are mountains, we can see if there are any caves for us to rest."

Tang Peipei thought about it and realized that this was the only option.

"Then go slow. Safety is the most important thing."

Lu Lifeng nodded, let the carriage move slowly, and observed the surrounding situation.

"Peipei, look, is that a mountain?" Lu Lifeng stopped the carriage and pointed not far ahead.

Tang Peipei nodded happily, "Yes, it's Shan, uncle, you take them here and wait, I'll go over to take a look." As he said that, Tang Peipei called Yuan Mingkang out and asked him to lead the carriage.

"Don't go. I'll go." After all, Lu Lifeng is the elder and a man. How could he let a girl take risks?

After saying that, he turned around and ran forward.

Tang Peipei had no choice but to wait.

After a while, Lu Lifeng came back.

"Hurry, there really is a cave ahead, but it's not very big. We can squeeze in and it will be fine."

Lu Lifeng got on the carriage and led the way.

Soon they arrived at the cave. The cave was not big, just enough to accommodate their family.

Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng tied the carriage to the stone at the entrance of the cave, and the family entered the cave.

"Grandma, grandpa, mom, and Aunt Yuan, are you all okay?" Tang Peipei looked at the little boy who was already sleeping in Aunt Yuan's arms, and was relieved to see that he was not affected.

"We are all fine. We won't get wet in the rain in the carriage. But you and your uncle are soaked. Let's make a fire and warm yourself up." Tang's mother took out the charcoal that Yuan Mingkang had just unloaded from the carriage and made a fire in the stove.

Tang Peipei asked Yuan Mingkang to put the wooden barrel outside the cave to collect water.

Liu Yeling and Tang's mother took out a quilt and held it, letting Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng take turns changing clothes in it.

Everyone was indeed tired today, so after cleaning up and making some simple food, they went to bed early.

The next day, everyone got up one after another, except Tang Peipei who was still sleeping.

Everyone thought Tang Peipei was tired, so they didn't call her and just did their own things quietly.

After breakfast, Lu Xinyu went to call Tang Peipei, but she couldn't wake him up. Lu Xinyu reached out to wake him up and found that Tang Peipei's face was very red and his body was very hot.

She used her hand to test the temperature of Tang Peipei's forehead, and it was actually very hot.

"Mom, aunt, come quickly, my sister has a fever."

Lu Xinyu's shout attracted everyone in the cave to gather around.

Tang's mother took the temperature on her forehead and was shocked. "What should I do? In the middle of nowhere..." She started crying in fear.

Liu Yeling quickly comforted her, "Don't panic, aunt, don't panic first. Xinyu, go and call your father back. We'll leave right away."

"Yes, yes, let Lifeng and Minkang come back quickly." Chen Cuihua also said quickly.

But the women had no other choice but to pin their hopes on the men who were away.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night. Seeing that the sky was clear, Lu Gang asked Yuan Mingkang to go and see if there were any wild vegetables to pick and take a look at the surrounding situation.

He and Lu Lifeng went forward to explore the way.

Xiaoya said, "Aunt, do you remember how Sister Peipei treated me when I had a fever last time?"

After Xiao Ya said this, Tang's mother finally remembered and quickly asked Lu Xinyu to fetch some water and boil it on the stove.

After the water boiled, I tried to rub it on Tang Peipei, imitating the method Tang Peipei used to cool Xiao Ya down.

Try rubbing it once, twice, and repeatedly.

Yuan Mingkang came back first, and he picked a lot of wild vegetables.

When he heard that Tang Peipei had a fever, he hurried out to look for Lu Gang and the others.

When the three of them came back, Tang Peipei's fever had subsided a lot, but she was still in a coma.

Lu Gang asked someone to take out the pills made by Tang Peipei and fed her a pill for reducing fever.

"There is a dangerous cliff not far ahead. We have checked and the road is indeed very dangerous. Peipei has a high fever now and needs urgent medical treatment. We have no choice but to go on," said Lu Gang.

Chen Cuihua said worriedly: "With Peipei in this state and Minkang still so young, who will drive the carriage?"

Lu Gang: "Min Kang is here to drive the carriage, I'll sit beside and watch."

Chen Cuihua nodded, "That's the only way."

"Then let's go quickly." Liu Yeling said.

Everyone quickly packed up and got on the carriage.

Because Tang Peipei was sick, little Tuanzi was carried by Nanny Yuan to the carriage driven by Lu Lifeng. Liu Yeling came to the carriage driven by Yuan Mingkang to help Tang's mother take care of Tang Peipei.

At this time, Tang Peipei fell into a dream and couldn't extricate herself.

She felt as if she was in the ocean, neither sinking nor floating to the surface. She struggled like this, but was helpless. She wanted to call for help, but no sound came out of her throat.

Just when she wanted to give up struggling and just give up, she suddenly felt a turbulence.

Tang Peipei didn't know why the world, which had been so peaceful just now, suddenly became turbulent.

She wanted to find out what was going on, but there was nothing she could do.

She struggled hard and anxiously, trying to break free from the restraints.
