Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 322 Wake up
Zhou Chuanzhi and others had already left when Qu Shaoyang was bandaging his wound.

It was completely dark outside. The crowd built two fires in the open space and set up a few temporary shacks.

Fortunately, when I left Dianzi Street, I brought a lot of rice, vegetables, dry food and other things.

At this time, there was a pot on the fire, and vegetable porridge was cooking in the pot, bubbling.

In the hot summer, there is no need to heat up dry food. You can just take it out and eat it directly. It can also be a meal with vegetable porridge or something like that.

The two old men haven’t eaten yet. It’s too late to cook at this time.

Zhou Chuanzhi served three bowls of porridge and brought them into the house. He also took some steamed buns and pickles and asked Qu Shaoyang and the two old men to have a bite together.

While eating, Qu Shaoyang chatted with the two old men and asked about what happened in Sandaomioling Village.

“I also heard Lan Jun talk about it sporadically. It seems that they had a fight with the Huzi in their village a few days ago.

You also know that there are many hunters in Sandaomiaoling Village.

Originally they didn't want to cause any trouble, so they thought about giving away some food and drinks to get rid of those bandits.

Who would have thought that a group of unruly bearded men would, seeing someone's pretty girl, have evil thoughts and tease her.

What can they do? The two sides started fighting.

There were many people in Sandaimiaoling, and we killed a few of the bearded men, while the rest ran away."

“Those bandits were from the Dongshan group. They went back and gathered their men and surrounded the village.

What are those bearded men doing? They kill people without blinking an eye. They rush into the village and start shooting people.

In fact, the people in the village also knew that Hu Zi would not give up, so they arranged people to patrol at night.

But I didn't expect that the Huzi would come out in full force. Half of the people in the village were old, weak, women and children. How could they be their opponents? "

"Lan Jun was injured, and her grandfather risked his life to protect her and got her out. I don't know how he ended up running near me.

I happened to see her when I was out looking for medicinal herbs, and I was able to rescue her."

That’s all Old Liu knew. As for who was still alive in the village, besides Meng Lanjun, and whether anyone had escaped, he had no idea.

Qu Shaoyang sighed when he heard this.

Otherwise, how does the old saying go, it is better to be a dog in prosperous times than a man in troubled times? That's it.

Born in troubled times, without the power to protect oneself, it is impossible to live a peaceful life even if one hides in the mountains and forests.

The bandits here are rampant, killing people and slaughtering villages. It's really too much.

It’s a pity that the eastern government office is too far away and out of reach, so the bandits can only run rampant.

The three of them finished their meal in silence. The two old men tacitly left Qu Shaoyang to take care of Meng Lanjun, and the two of them went out to live in the shack with Zhou Chuanzhi and the others.

The main thing is that the stable room is not very big, and the kang can only accommodate three people at most.

Meng Lanjun is still seriously injured and unconscious and needs someone to take care of him. The two old men haven't had a good rest in the past few days and are really exhausted.

Qu Shaoyang was young, so this difficult task was given to him.

Qu Shaoyang had no choice but to save people to the end and not give up halfway.

So he went over and touched Meng Lanjun's forehead, which still felt very hot, so he simply took out some old mustard greens stew, poured half a bowl and fed it to Meng Lanjun.

Then, Qu Shaoyang washed a cloth with cold water and placed it on Meng Lanjun's forehead.

In the middle of the night, Meng Lanjun had a fever and was talking nonsense.

Qu Shaoyang was at a loss, so he used a cloth dipped in liquor to wipe Meng Lanjun's body.

At least by dawn, Meng Lanjun's condition had stabilized a lot and his fever had subsided a little, so Qu Shaoyang fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the morning, Zhou Chuanzhi and others cooked some porridge, and everyone ate it casually. Qu Shaoyang fed Meng Lanjun some medicine, and he seemed to be a little better than before.

Qu Shaoyang sent a few people back to Dianzi Street to buy some daily necessities.

They would have to stay here for a few days, and at least Meng Lanjun's condition would have to get better before they could find a way to leave.

So many people need a lot of food and drink on a daily basis, but Old Liu's stable room doesn't have that much rice to supply.

In this way, Qu Shaoyang and others stayed in Diaowolazi for another two days.

On the morning of the fourth day, Meng Lanjun, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.

"Oh my God, you finally woke up. You've been driving us crazy these past few days.

Well, don't move yet. I'll get you something to eat. Wait until you've finished eating and have more energy before talking."

Seeing Meng Lanjun struggling to get up, Qu Shaoyang hurried over and held her down, not allowing her to move.

Meng Lanjun was also surprised to see Qu Shaoyang, but before she could open her mouth to ask Qu Shaoyang why he was here, Qu Shaoyang went out to get food.

Afterwards, Qu Shaoyang brought back a bowl of millet porridge, carefully helped Meng Lanjun to half sit up, and fed Meng Lanjun the porridge one spoonful at a time.

Only after he had finished half a bowl of porridge and felt better did Meng Lanjun start to speak.

"Brother Qu, why are you here?"

"I came to Dianzi Street to do some work, and heard that something happened in Sandaomiaoling, so I thought of coming over to take a look.

When I got here, I found that there was no one in the village.

I didn't give up and went to find Master Cong again, and then I found out that you were injured and unconscious, and you were recuperating with Master Liu."

Qu Shaoyang put down the bowl of porridge, helped Meng Lanjun lie down, and explained.

"Brother Qu, you treated my injuries and saved me, right?"

Meng Lanjun is a very smart person. She has been recuperating in the stable room for several days. The two old men are helpless against her injuries and can only use ginseng soup to keep her alive.

The confused Meng Lanjun knew all of this.

Therefore, Meng Lanjun deduced that it must be Qu Shaoyang who came and somehow saved her life.

“Well, I helped you take the lead bullet out of your wound and gave you some medicine.

Fortunately, my father-in-law brought me a lot of medicine before I left the house, and the effect was very good. Otherwise, I would not be able to save you."

Under the circumstances at that time, if Qu Shaoyang didn't have medicine, it would be useless even if he could take out the bullet.

This place is quite far from Dianzi Street. Given Meng Lanjun's condition at the time, he could not withstand the hardships on the road. I'm afraid he would die halfway before they reached Dianzi Street.

"Well, you're seriously injured, and I'm afraid you won't be able to recover in a short while.

Take a rest first, don't rush to get up. I think it will take you a long time to recover.

The situation in the village has already come to that point. Even if you want to take revenge, you have to get your body back into good shape first.

Don't think too much about it, just focus on healing your wounds." Qu Shaoyang saw what Meng Lanjun wanted to say, and waved his hand to stop her from speaking.

Upon hearing the news that Meng Lanjun had woken up, the two old men were extremely happy and came in to talk to Meng Lanjun for a while.

Meng Lanjun just woke up, but she had lost too much blood and had a serious infection, so she still had an intermittent fever and was very weak.

But Qu Shaoyang had been away from home for a long time, and he was worried about his wife who was about to give birth, so how could he stay here for long?
Another thing is that the medicine Qu Shaoyang brought could at most save Meng Lanjun's life. Qu Shaoyang had no idea about the follow-up treatment and recuperation.

Therefore, Qu Shaoyang discussed with the two old men and wanted to take Meng Lanjun back to Maoer Mountain to ask Doctor Chen for treatment.
