The wife of two taels of silver
Chapter 131 Departure
As a gift of return, Lin Haitang also wanted to give Xi Shuyun a return gift, but she didn't have any jewelry that she wore all the time, so she went to the best jewelry shop in Zhanglin County to choose one. Among the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, Lin Haitang chose the white jade and emerald phoenix hairpin at first sight, which matched Xi Shuyun's temperament very well.
Xi Shuyun is really good at providing emotional value to people. After she received the buyao, she basically wore it on her head for the past few days and never took it off.
Lin Haitang felt very happy every time when she saw Xi Shuyun walking on the street wearing the hairpin she gave her.
Three days passed quickly, and Zhao Hongwei arrived in Zhanglin County as promised.
More than a hundred people from the Anmin Army, plus the snow-cold flower growers sent out, poured into Zhanglin County.
This time, after arriving in Zhanglin County, the Anmin Army was not as dirty as last time. Although they were still tired, at least they were clean and had full stomachs.
"Gu'er!" Zhao Hongwei, Wang Yao, and Zhang Haixu shouted in unison, greeting Gu An.
When Gu An saw the three of them, a smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and waved, saying, "Big Brother."
Zhao Hongwei, Wang Yao and Zhang Haixu ran over happily, then passed Gu An one by one and lined up to greet Lin Haitang.
“Sister-in-law!” “Sister-in-law!” “Sister-in-law!”
The three shouts were arranged in a staggered pattern, with one person shouting and the next person shouting next.
Lin Haitang was almost dying of laughter in her heart, but she kept a smile on her face and replied, "General, thank you for your hard work on the journey."
"It's not hard at all. My sister-in-law is more tired." Zhang Haixu continued.
Even though the three of them were not together, they still learned that Lin Haitang was named Princess Anle, and all matters related to the treatment of febrile diseases were under the full authority of Lin Haitang. In other words, these days, Lin Haitang was their immediate superior.
The Anmin Army rested for a while in Zhanglin County, and two days later, they set off for the capital.
During these two days, Lin Haitang fulfilled his previous promise and treated those who were sent out to dinner at the best restaurant in Zhanglin County. He brought An Minjun and booked the entire restaurant.
When going to Beijing, you can't just leave with your luggage. There are many things you need to pack in advance.
Ancient times were different from modern times. As long as you had money, you could have food and shelter wherever you went, and you didn't have to worry at all. In ancient times, every long journey could be life-threatening.
Lin Haitang prepared a lot of things in the space in advance and raised a ewe that had just given birth in the space.
Gu Chen also wants to go with them, as ewes are a must.
When the team set out, there were five carriages in the middle.
Lin Haitang and the children rode in one carriage, Zhao Xiangjun and Liu Wanwan rode in one carriage, Xi Shuyun and Xiaoyue rode in one carriage, and the five old gentlemen rode in two carriages.
When Lin Haitang and his companions left, both sides of the street were crowded with common people who came to see them off. The scene was no less impressive than when the soldiers went off to war. It was truly magnificent.
The news of Lin Haitang's departure naturally could not be concealed. She posted a notice in front of the temporary Imperial Medical Bureau three days in advance, informing everyone that she had to leave for something and would no longer be able to see patients.
Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In just two days, the news spread to the neighboring counties.
It can be said that without Lin Haitang, their lives would be gone. Many people came to see Lin Haitang off completely out of their own volition.
Seeing so many people, Lin Haitang was shocked. She was so moved that she even had the urge to burst into tears.
"Doctor Lin!"
I don’t know who started shouting, but everyone seemed to be turned on, shouting “Dr. Lin” one after another.
Lin Haitang sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at everyone. At that moment, she felt her shoulders were so heavy.
That's the blessing of so many people, how can I be so worthy of it? Lin Haitang asked herself in her heart.
These people even followed the carriage to the city gate.
When they were about to leave the city gate, Lin Haitang got out of the car and bowed deeply to the densely packed crowd in front of him.
Lin Haitang shouted loudly: "Everyone, go back! Thank you, thank you!"
Lin Haitang couldn't say anything else and could only bow repeatedly to express his gratitude.
After the team walked away, the crowd gradually dispersed, and many people left with tears in their eyes.
Zhang Haixu's eyes were also a little red, and he cursed: "Fuck, it actually moved me."
"My sister-in-law can bear it. If it weren't for her, we might have died long ago." Wang Yao sat on the horse with a dry grass stalk in his mouth.
Zhao Hongwei nodded and said, "It's no wonder those people are reluctant to give it up. The doctor is good and the treatment is cheap. What's more, without her, no one would have the opportunity to receive free treatment for febrile diseases."
"Alas, those guys in the capital are also waiting to see my sister-in-law." Zhao Hongwei looked forward, as if looking at the people he was talking about.
The person who felt the most comfortable during this trip to Beijing was Xiaobai.
Xiaoli doesn’t like to run that much. It often stays with Lin Haitang. Apart from eating, it sleeps and only goes out when it wants to go to the toilet.
Xiaobai was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and could not be stopped. It ran coolly in front without feeling tired. It actually became the one leading the way, but sometimes it would run in the wrong direction and then be called back. When it was tired of running, it would lie down on the carriage and start to sleep soundly.
Lin Haitang looked at Xiaobai lying on the ground, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan sitting on the side playing the Nine Rings game, Gu Chen sleeping beside her, and Xiaoli sleeping on her legs. Lin Haitang sighed countless times: Fortunately, the carriage was built big, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate all these people.
Zhao Hongwei saw Xi Shuyun early on, but he didn't say anything to her. Zhao Hongwei slowed down the speed of his horse and slowly approached Xi Shuyun's carriage.
"Miss Xi." Zhao Hongwei knocked lightly on the body of the carriage.
Xi Shuyun recognized the voice. She lifted the curtain and said, "General Zhao."
Zhao Hongwei clasped his fists towards Xi Shuyun and said, "Miss Xi, when I left the capital this time, Shuyun found me and asked me to find your whereabouts."
Hearing Liu Shuyun's name, Xi Shuyun was startled, then looked a little bitter. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Zhao."
Zhao Hongwei noticed Xi Shuyun's discomfort. He didn't know the complicated relationship between Liu Shuyun and Xi Shuyun, so he didn't know what to say, so he bowed and said goodbye.
After Zhao Hongwei left, Xi Shuyun put down the curtain in her hand, with a lonely look on her face.
Xi Shuyun kept clutching the handkerchief in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, and sadness was evident in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Xiaoyue looked at her young lady, feeling worried and puzzled. She asked, "Young lady, Master Liu asked General Zhao to find you, which means he really cares about you. Why are you so unhappy?"
"No." Xi Shuyun bit her lower lip lightly, shook her head, and said, "Xiaoyue, you don't understand."
Xiaoyue was a little anxious and said, "My lady, tell me what you are thinking about?"
Xi Shuyun raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiaoyue, with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoyue, let me ask you, how long have I been following him?"
Xiaoyue blurted out without hesitation: "Eight years."
"Okay, let me ask you again, does everyone in the capital know that I like him?" Xi Shuyun asked again.
"Yes." Xiaoyue nodded.
For Liu Shuyun, her young lady turned down all blind dates and remained unmarried at such an age just to wait for Liu Shuyun.
Xi Shuyun wiped the corner of her eye with her finger, and the crystal drop fell on her fingertips: "We were in Ningling County. Did I write a letter to him?"
Xiaoyue nodded again and said, "Yes, she did. More than one letter. Even after she was infected, she didn't stop writing letters."
"Did he write back to me?" Xi Shuyun asked in a soft voice.
Xiaoyue was completely stunned. After a long time, she shook her head.
Xi Shuyun smiled bleakly and said, "Xiaoyue, I never made it difficult for him to find me. Why would he ask someone to find me?"
"Okay, for now, it's because he's worried about me and wants someone to check on me in person," Xi Shuyun said, tears streaming down her face. "Before, he didn't even bother to talk to me, but now he's showing concern. Didn't he see everything I did before?"
Xi Shuyun no longer clutched the handkerchief. She clasped her hands together in front of her, saying, "Xiaoyue, after contracting the febrile disease, I was terrified I'd die, terrified I'd never see Liu Shuyun again. I wrote him a letter almost every night, without fail. Last night, I wrote him too. But he never replied, and instead sent someone to look for me."
"Xiaoyue, Liu Shuyun really looks down on me." Xi Shuyun's voice was still hoarse and really unpleasant, which also cast a layer of more painful filter on her words.
Lin Haitang naturally had no idea about Xi Shuyun's tragic love affair, as she was busy feeding Gu Chen.
This little guy Gu Chen is really heavy. He is so small, but he already weighs 26 kilograms. Of course, he eats a lot.
Gu Chen was enjoying his milk, with a milky white stain around his mouth. Lin Haitang was just about to feed him another mouthful with a spoon when she heard someone patting her car: "Doctor Lin! Something bad has happened! Someone's been bitten by a snake!"
Lin Haitang was startled, fearing it might be a poisonous snake. She placed Gu Chen on the bed and quickly warned him, "Momo Lanlan, take good care of your brother. Mom will be back soon!"
Lin Haitang quickly lifted the door curtain and jumped out of the carriage, saying, "Where is the person? Take me there quickly."
Gu An rode his horse over and stretched out his hand to Lin Haitang. Lin Haitang took his hand without saying a word and, with the help of Gu An, got on the horse.
Gu An brought Lin Haitang to the person who was bitten by the snake. At this time, the young man was rolling around with his legs hugged.
"Don't move!" Lin Haitang spoke very quickly. She jumped off her horse and tore off the soldier's clothes.
The soldier was bitten on the calf by a snake.
Lin Haitang quickly took out a finger-wide knife from his belt and cut between the two snake bite marks. The blood slowly flowed out.
"What does a snake look like?" Lin Haitang tore off a strip of cloth about three fingers wide from the hem of her skirt and asked, looking up.
The soldier was sweating profusely from the pain. He gritted his teeth and pointed his chin to the left rear.
Lin Haitang looked over and saw a green snake in the weeds with a short knife stuck in its paw.
It is the bamboo green snake, which is moderately toxic.
Lin Haitang breathed a sigh of relief and saw that the flowing black blood turned bright red. She took out the medicine bottle and sprinkled some medicine powder on the wound, then wrapped it with a cloth strip.
"Come, two people, lift him up. Don't move around or use any force." Lin Haitang stood up and said to the people around him.
Without Zhao Hongwei's instructions, the people closest to the scene came over and moved the injured.
Lin Haitang said to Zhao Hongwei: "General, we need to stay here for a while. I have to make medicine for him."
Zhao Hongwei was not worried about anything else but the medicinal materials. He asked, "Do you have any medicine? Do you need me to send someone to the nearest pharmacy to buy it?"
Lin Haitang shook her head and said, "No, I brought medicine."
There were too many unexpected changes along the way, and Lin Haitang was worried about such problems, so Lin Haitang took some of the medicinal materials in the temporary imperial medical bureau and put them in the space.
Now this place is so far away from any village or shop that it takes a lot of effort to even get to the nearest pharmacy.
After getting on the carriage, Lin Haitang asked Gu An to keep watch for her while she went to the space to get medicine.
It takes some time to boil the medicine, so everyone took this opportunity to have dinner.
Xiaobai and Xiaoli were having fun in the woods, and Gu An was teaching Gu Chen how to walk.
Gu Chen can walk now, but he has to be led by someone, otherwise he will fall.
Lin Haitang looked at the medicine furnace in front of her and the fire underneath. Liu Wanwan wanted to come over and talk to Lin Haitang, but Lin Haitang didn't let her stay here for long because of her big belly.
Xi Shuyun came over at this time, and Lin Haitang saw her slightly red and swollen eyelids.
"Shuyun, what's wrong with you?" The medicine furnace didn't need Lin Haitang's attention for the time being. Lin Haitang frowned and asked Xi Shuyun, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xi Shuyun sat next to Lin Haitang, shook her head, her voice still hoarse: "No, don't worry."
Lin Haitang stared at Xi Shuyun for two seconds, most likely certain that this girl was in love. After thinking for two seconds, he said, "Is it because of emotional problems?"
Xi Shuyun glanced at Lin Haitang in surprise and said, "Is it obvious that I'm doing this?"
Lin Haitang nodded and said, "It's really obvious."
Xi Shuyun laughed at herself and said, "Yes, because of relationship problems."
Lin Haitang didn't ask any more questions. She used a thicker branch to poke the firewood and said, "Since you're in pain, then learn to let it go. You're so beautiful, have a good family background, and are talented. If you want, the men who like you can line up from here to the capital."
Xi Shuyun was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she had heard such comforting words. She said, "I will learn to let it go."
Lin Haitang added a piece of wood to the flames and said, "Time is the best medicine to heal all wounds. Take your time and don't rush."
The flames instantly devoured the new wood, making a soft crackling sound.
As it got darker, they stopped traveling and set up camp to rest.
The Anmin Army surrounded the elderly, women and children in the innermost circle, forming circle after circle.
