Traveling through 1942 with space

Erda Houminyou was holding a big bowl of mixed soup and gulping it down. He finished it in a few minutes, then added some water to the bottom of the bowl and looked at his elder brother beside him with satisfaction.

"Brother, this broth is delicious and there is plenty of meat. I haven't had such a good meal in many years." Hou Minyou said with a smile, touching his stomach.

"Well! Have a good rest after you've eaten. Your arm was injured today. When you pass by Xiaojie Township tomorrow, see if you can buy some medicine." Hou Yangmin looked at his brother's arm that was injured by a musket and said with some concern.

"Brother, it's okay, no bones were hit," Erda Houmin said indifferently.

"Oh! I won't say anymore. I have to go to my fifth uncle's place after dinner." Hou Yangmin sighed and stood up.

Hou Xiaoge looked at Erda, who was lying on the mattress after dinner with a pale face, and was also worried.

Erda Houminyou was shot in the left upper arm when he was attacking the bandits this evening. Fortunately, the gun was not powerful and his upper arms had a lot of muscles, so the bullet only grazed the bandits, otherwise his left arm would have been disabled.

However, when Erda cleaned the wound at night, he just used warm water to wash away the dirty blood, and finally put some wood ash on it and that was it.

As a person from the future, Hou Xiaoge naturally knew the risks of doing so. The most dangerous thing about a red wound is infection.

Although Hou Xiaoge had medicine prepared according to the medicine book in his space, he had no reason to take it out now and could only worry.

By the time the women finished their meal, it was already very late, and everyone began to rest in groups.

After everyone fell asleep, Hou Xiaoge was not idle either. He started making the magical medicine for time travel, allicin, in the space.

Extracting allicin requires a huge amount of garlic. Fortunately, we have collected hundreds of kilograms of garlic these days, which is more than enough to extract allicin for three or five people.

Because the garlic smell was too pungent, Hou Xiaoge put clothes on the sneezing mule as a mask.

It is convenient to have a stone mill. It only took ten minutes to grind more than 30 kilograms of garlic into garlic paste.

Looking at the large clay pot full of mashed garlic, Hou Xiaoge's scalp tingled. Fortunately, he only used his mental power to work, otherwise he would have to kneel down if his physical body went in.

The prepared garlic cannot stay in the air for a long time. Fortunately, there is warehouse space, so it is very convenient and can be harvested directly.

It was late at night, and while everyone was sleeping tiredly, Hou Xiaoge sneaked into the space and completed the distillation device.

In fact, it is no different from steaming buns, except that a jar of clean water is added on top for condensation and a small water outlet is made.

After finishing the work, Hou Xiaoge put the mashed garlic into the pot and began to distill allicin using the traditional method.

After working for half an hour, Hou Xiaoge smiled tiredly as he looked at the emerald green liquid in the bowl that he could drink up in one gulp.

He quickly put the collected allicin into the warehouse space, and Hou Xiaoge decomposed the remaining garlic directly in the spiritual field.

After leaving the space, Hou Xiaoge came to Erda. As expected, complications from the post-injury infection really came.

At this time, Erda no longer looked like the tough guy he usually is. His originally dark face turned very pale. Hou Xiaoge touched Erda's forehead and it was very hot.

"Second Aunt, hurry up, get up, Erda has a fever." Hou Xiaoge quickly woke up Second Aunt who was sleeping next to her holding her little son.

"what?"

As Second Aunt got up, her younger aunt and uncle also got up, and they hurried to Erda.

Although Erda was not yet delirious from the fever, his speech was a little unclear and he just kept shouting that he was hot and thirsty.

"Heiwa's father, please don't scare me. The children still depend on you! Oh my God, what should I do?" Second Aunt looked at Erda, who was hot all over, and lost her mind for a moment. She just sat there and wailed softly.

"Uncle-in-law, please go to the village and get a bucket of cold water so that Erda can wipe his body with it. Otherwise, it will be too hot and he will burn his body." Hou Xiaoge quickly said to his uncle-in-law.

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." My uncle-in-law carried the wooden bucket and ran towards the village with my cousin.

"Second Aunt, I have some honey water here. Please feed some to Erda." Hou Xiaoge poured half a bowl of spiritual spring water and some allicin from the space and quickly handed it to Second Aunt.

At this time, Second Aunt was also anxious. No one noticed that the water was a little green, so she quickly took the bowl and fed Erda.

Erda, who had some consciousness, opened his mouth at his aunt's call and gulped down the honey water.

"Aunt, boil some water. Replace the bandage that Erda used to bandage his wound with a cleaner one and scald it with boiling water." Looking at Erda's black arm, Hou Xiaoge said to her aunt who was worriedly standing by the side.

"Oh oh oh!"

Hou Cuiping was getting anxious at the moment because she couldn't help. When she heard Hou Xiaoge's words, she looked for a pot and started to boil water.

"Heiwa, how is your Erda?"

At this time, the uncle who was keeping watch outside was also called over by his second cousin. When he saw Hou Xiaoge, he asked anxiously.

"The gunshot wound is infected. I'm running a fever and feeling a little confused." Hou Xiaoge said in a low voice.

When Hou Yangmin heard that he had a fever, he became a little confused and his legs went weak for a moment. He quickly used the remaining water to wipe his brother's body.

After my uncle-in-law and eldest cousin came back with the water, everyone started taking turns applying cold water on Erda's body.

The noisy scene at the Hou family woke up the other victims, and some of those who had injured people at home also came to check on their family members.

As a result, most of the victims did not sleep well at night. By the next morning, only five of the dozens of victims who were seriously injured yesterday survived, and the others had already died.

Many of the victims who were slightly injured yesterday, like Erda, who had minor knife wounds and only grazed the gunshot wounds, have also been infected and developed fevers.

But the good thing is that Erda Houmin survived yesterday. It might be the cooling temperature that worked, it might be the allicin in the Lingquan water that worked, or it might be that he got through it on his own.

Anyway, by the second half of the night, Erda had fallen into a deep sleep and was snoring.

Hou Xiaoge felt relieved when he heard the snoring, because he knew that Erda was fine for the time being.

But the good thing is that the bandits did not attack the camp last night, which made everyone feel relieved.

The next morning, everyone was very tired, but no one insisted on waiting for the bandits to take revenge. Instead, they quickly packed their bags and started to run away.

Because Erda was injured, a wheelbarrow was specially prepared for him to lie on to rest. Hou Jia, who had been nervous all night, also endured the fatigue and followed the team on the road.

Fortunately, this village is not far from Xiaojie Township, only less than ten miles away.

Everyone had a full meal last night and had plenty of energy. Today they were worried about being chased by bandits, so they walked much faster and reached Xiaojie Township in just one morning.

When they arrived at Xiaojie Township, the refugee team breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the earthen wall gate and the militia guarding the gate, and began to look for a place to set up camp.
