Chapter 271 Life hangs by a thread
"Okay, grandma, that's enough. No more packing. There's everything to eat outside." Xu Ning saw that his backpack was almost full and said hurriedly to Grandma Xu.
As Old Lady Xu stuffed food into her backpack, she said, "We've only just started. How can you get anything to eat after hiking so far? Bring more food so you can have more strength."
Xu Ning smiled helplessly, turned his head and looked at the other two backpacks, and found that Xu Yuan and Xu An's backpacks were the same as his own, filled with all kinds of food. Seeing that they were still dawdling, Old Lady Xu urged them, "Hurry up and don't waste time."
Today is the morning when Xu Ning and his friends are leaving. Old Mrs. Xu got up very early and began to prepare food before dawn. She took out some of the edible things at home and gave them to the children to take, for fear that they would be hungry on the road.
"Don't be reluctant to spend money when eating out. Don't go out and lose weight again, okay?!" Old Mrs. Xu warned Xu Ning seriously.
Xu Ning was deeply moved when he heard what Grandma Xu said. He said to her gratefully, "Thank you, grandma. Don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves." After that, Xu Ning put on the heavy backpack and walked out of the valley with Xu Yuan and Xu An.
Old Mrs. Xu and other members of the Xu family watched the children leave, feeling reluctant to let them go. She stood still and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her children would be safe on their journey.
After climbing to the exit of the valley, Xu Ning immediately released a drone, then called Xu Yuan and Xu An to the monitor to discuss which direction to go.
Going around the valley, there is the sea behind and endless mountains ahead.
Xu Ning placed the drone at the highest point and could vaguely see the shape of a county town in the northeast direction.
"Head northeast." Xu Ning said immediately. Xu Yuan and Xu An had no objection, and the three of them set off immediately.
In Shanglu County, on a mountain not far from the camp outside the city, after the military doctor fed Cui Yong an enhanced antidote, Cui Yong's blackened skin soon returned to normal visibly.
"Old Cui, Old Cui, wake up." After the soldiers of Pei Yong's army found that the Grand Minister of Agriculture was dragging the poisoned Cui Yong, he gave the collected medicine to the soldiers and stood by waiting for the military doctor to detoxify Cui Yong.
It was already dark when Cui Yong woke up. He looked around in a daze, his memory still stuck at the time before he was poisoned.
"Old Cui, you're finally awake!" The Minister of Agriculture was so excited that tears came out when he saw Cui Yong wake up. "I almost thought you were doomed!"
Cui Yong frowned and tried to recall what happened: "I...why am I here?"
"You forgot that you were bitten by a snake when you went down the cliff to pick herbs. You were poisoned." The Minister of Agriculture explained, "Luckily the old military doctor came out this time, otherwise you would really have died here."
Cui Yong looked at the military doctor gratefully and thanked him quickly: "Thank you for saving my life."
The old military doctor waved his hand, indicating that it was his duty.
Cui Yong looked around and found that his vision was still a little blurry, so he couldn't help asking: "Where is this place?"
The Minister of Agriculture replied, "This place is still some distance from the camp outside Shanglu County. The medicine has been sent back. We will rest here for the time being."
Cui Yong nodded to show his understanding. The Grand Minister of Agriculture heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really shocked when Cui Yong was poisoned and unconscious this time. Since the last time Cui Yong was assassinated, this was the second time Qin Wen saw Cui Yong's life hanging by a thread.
He was so frightened that he dared not "run away from home" easily again. During this period of time, his spirit had been in a state of high tension, and his body was a little bit overwhelmed due to his old age. After eating something with Cui Yong, he went to rest.
Pei Yongjun had been sending people to keep a close eye on the Grand Minister of Agriculture, fearing that the stubborn old man would do something uncontrollable again. However, looking at the current situation, the Grand Minister of Agriculture was still honest and did not "act recklessly" again, which made Pei Yongjun feel a little relieved.
"General, good news!" A military doctor ran in excitedly, "The medicine is working!" Pei Yongjun stood up immediately after hearing this: "Really? Take me to see it!"
The two men hurried to the isolation tent. The general with good eyesight could see from afar that the condition of the critically ill patients who were testing the medicine had stabilized and their complexion had obviously improved a lot.
The medicines brought back by the Minister of Agriculture and Cui Yong were indeed effective against the plague. This news was like a long-awaited rain after a long drought, making everyone ecstatic. Pei Yongjun was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He knew that these medicines would be the key to saving countless lives.
"Great! Great!" Pei Yongjun said excitedly, "Immediately draw a picture of the medicine and send people to various places to collect it. At the same time, speed up the production process and give it to all the infected people as soon as possible."
The military doctor nodded repeatedly and turned to make arrangements.
In the following days, Pei Yongjun personally led the soldiers to devote themselves to boiling the medicine soup. As the soup was widely used, more and more patients gradually recovered, and the panic in Shanglu County and nearby towns gradually dissipated.
This terrible plague was finally successfully contained thanks to the efforts of all parties.
After dark, on a high ground among the mountains, Xu Ning had just set up the tent with Xu Yuan, and then he collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, I'm so tired. I don't want to move at all." After a whole day of walking, they had just climbed out of several mountains, and Xu Ning already felt very tired.
Next to the tent, Xu An was adding firewood to the blazing fire, and Xu Yuan filled a clean stainless steel pot with water and placed it on the fire to heat it.
"Ningning, you should take a rest first. Wait until the instant noodles are cooked, then you can get up and eat." Compared with Xu Ning and Xu An, Xu Yuan was in better condition because she did not neglect exercise on a regular basis. So even though she had walked all day, she only felt a little tired.
"Second sister, do you want me to give you a massage? I'm not too tired yet." Xu An ran to Xu Ning with energy and sat down. Xu Ning glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then put his head to the ground and shook his head gently to express his refusal.
After leaving Cui Yong, Xu Ning's martial arts training became intermittent.
This whole day of traveling on the mountain road was no less than another high-intensity training for Xu Ning.
"Xiaobao, how come you are still so energetic?" Xu Ning was puzzled as to why Xu Feng seemed to have endless energy, which was completely different from her.
Xu Feng glanced at Xu Yuan, and the two looked at each other at an angle that Xu Ning couldn't see.
Xu Feng: Aunt Yuan, am I telling the truth? Will it be a blow to my second sister?
Xu Yuan: How about we wait a little longer and talk about it tomorrow?
"Second sister, to use grandma's words, this is just the beginning! Going out to play is so much fun, I'm not tired at all!" Xu Feng nodded to Xu Yuan, and the two of them tacitly did not tell Xu Ning the truth.
Xu Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly at the stars in the sky: "Okay, I'm the most useless person in our family."
