EBE Chapter 278 He Shouldn’t Be “Died”
Chapter 278 He Shouldn’t Be “Died”
"Yes, village chief." After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she quickly boiled the wooden barrel that had been washed long ago.
Miao Wei and several villagers put down the cowpeas in their baskets and asked Shen Ruolan, "Master, what should we do next?"
Shen Ruolan said to Miao Wei: "There is nothing for you to do here for now, you can go down first."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." When Miao Wei heard that there was nothing for him to do, he took the villagers and left.
Shen Ruolan looked at the women in the kitchen and ordered, "Sisters-in-law, come here and wash the cowpeas. Pick out any bad ones you see."
"Yes, village chief." After the women finished speaking, they all started to get busy.
It is very simple to make sour beans. Just wash the good cowpeas, dry them, then seal and soak them in cold boiled water with salt for seven days before eating.
Of course, you can also add chili peppers, peppercorns, etc. to the pickled cowpeas, but she doesn’t have much of these things, so she is reluctant to add them.
After Shen Ruolan picked and washed the beans with everyone, she went home. Because the washed cowpeas needed to be dried before they could be packed into buckets, she planned to come back after lunch.
When Shen Ruolan got home, it was still early for lunch, so she told Aunt He, "Aunt He, go inform Master Duan and ask him to come over. I'll help him take a look."
"Yes, master." He Gu replied.
Shen Qi, who was playing with the two children, heard what his granddaughter said. He held Shen Zeyi and came behind Shen Ruolan and said, "Lan'er, Duan Ye is a serious criminal in the Yan court. He is in trouble. You have to help him get treatment. Grandpa is worried that he will cause trouble for you."
Shen Ruolan said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have already promised him, so I can't go back on my word."
Yaowang Valley has a contract with the imperial court, but she does not. The payment between Shen Ruolan and the patient is in cash, so this is normal. As long as she is not too idle, the State of Yan will not cause trouble for her. If they want to find someone, they will find Duan Ye.
Of course, she had already offended the Yan court by curing Mu Jinxuan, so it wouldn't hurt to have one more now.
After listening to Shen Ruolan's words, Shen Qi knew that he could no longer persuade her, so he had no choice but to say to her: "Okay, just do as you say. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me."
"Okay," Shen Ruolan responded.
Soon, Cheng Bo supported Duan Ye and came to the outside of Shen Ruolan's yard and shouted, "Village leader, we are here."
Shen Ruolan said to him, "Come into the main room."
Duan Ye nodded to Shen Ruolan and followed her into the main room.
In the main hall, after Duan Ye sat down, Shen Ruolan washed her hands and said to him, "Mr. Duan, stretch out your hand for a moment."
Duan Ye cooperated by stretching his hand onto the wooden table and letting Shen Ruolan take his pulse.
After a while, Shen Ruolan withdrew her hand and asked him some more questions. After she understood Duan Ye's physical condition, she frowned and said to him, "Mr. Duan, there are two ways to cure the poison in your body. One is to find the Thousand Evil Poison Flower as a medicine. After taking a continuous medicinal bath for half a year, the toxins accumulated in your body for many years can be eliminated. As for the second method..."
Shen Ruolan hesitated for a moment and continued, "The second method is to use my special acupuncture method to help you detoxify. However, you are very weak at the moment and this method is not suitable for you."
Duan Ye listened to Shen Ruolan's words. After a long silence, he asked her: "What's the name of the flower you mentioned? Is it easy to find?"
Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "As for this flower, I only know that it grows in extremely cold places all year round, and it is very rare. It may not be easy to find enough for your medicine."
Shen Ruolan didn't know the terrain of this world, so she didn't dare to ask Duan Ye to look for medicine.
A place that is extremely cold all year round? This made Duan Ye suddenly worried. Looking at the surrounding countries, he had not heard of any country that was cold all year round.
Cheng Bo had lived for most of his life and had never encountered such a place. He thought for a while and asked Shen Ruolan, "Village leader, what about the second method? Is there no other way?"
It is definitely impossible to find an antidote because his body cannot wait and he is not suitable for long journeys.
So, he hoped that the second method would be better.
Shen Ruolan said: "Yes, I will just take care of your body first, and then perform acupuncture when your master is better, but..."
Shen Ruolan paused here. She had used common herbs to treat Duan Ye's condition, but it had no effect. She still needed to go out and get some medicine.
"Just what?" Cheng Bo asked nervously.
Shen Ruolan said: "The medicine for your son's treatment is a little special. I don't have all the medicine in the mountains right now. I have to wait until I go out of the mountains to get the medicine before I can start the treatment."
Duan Ye listened to Shen Ruolan's words and replied to her: "In that case, I will wait and see when the village master gets the medicine back. It won't be too late for me to treat him."
Shen Ruolan said: "I sealed your poison for a month. Now half a month has passed. If you don't treat it in time, your poison will break out again. I'm afraid..."
Shen Ruolan didn't finish her words, but Cheng Bo and Duan Ye understood.
Especially Uncle Cheng, he looked at Shen Ruolan with an anxious face and said: "Village leader, please think of a way to save my master, I beg you..."
At the end of his speech, Uncle Cheng actually knelt down in front of Shen Ruolan.
Shen Ruolan quickly helped him up and said, "Uncle Cheng, don't be like this, get up quickly."
Cheng Bo stood up and looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Village Master, as long as you can save my master, I will be willing to serve you like a slave."
Shen Ruolan rubbed her aching head and fell silent. She did have to go to Cangling City in a few days, but the round trip would take about ten days. She was afraid that by the time she brought back the medicine, Duan Ye would not be able to wait for her.
When Shen Ruolan thought of this, she looked at Duan Ye and sighed, then said to the master and servant, "How about this, you follow me to Cang Ling City, then we don't have to wait so long."
"Okay, okay, we'll go with you, the village chief." After saying that, Cheng Bo stood up and prepared to go back to the big bunk bed to prepare his luggage.
Unexpectedly, Duan Ye stopped him and said, "Uncle Cheng, you are too anxious."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Village leader, I really appreciate you thinking of me like this, but you should just take care of your own affairs. I can handle it."
Duan Ye knew his own body very well. He would not die within two months. Even if he really died, he would accept his fate.
It’s just a bit regretful that I can’t continue to accompany Uncle Cheng and Sister Qian.
When Duan Ye thought of this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Ruolan deeply. If he really had an accident, he would feel at ease knowing that Uncle Cheng and Sister Qian were with her.
"Uncle Cheng, please go out for a moment. I want to talk to the village chief." Duan Ye suddenly said to Uncle Cheng behind him.
Uncle Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still went out.
