Chapter 23: Using Tree Bark to Cure Diseases?
"Mother, I've brewed some medicine here. Why don't you let Father try it?"
Cheng Qiqi came over carrying a medicine.
Before Liu Suyi could answer, a scream rang out.
"Do you want to get your father killed?"
Jin Xue'er rushed forward, trying to snatch the bowl of medicine from Cheng Qiqi's hand, but Cheng Qiqi dodged to the side, and Jin Xue'er missed.
"Jin Xue'er, what are you doing?"
Liu Suyi grabbed Jin Xueer and stared at her coldly.
"She used tree bark juice as medicine and brewed it for my father to drink. She definitely wanted my father to die!"
Ever since the incident in the outhouse, Jin Xue'er has been ignored by Jin Xuan'er and the others. She is not getting enough to eat every day and has to walk such a long distance. Jin Xue'er doesn't dare to get angry even if she wants to!
"Tree bark?"
Liu Suyi glanced at the bowl in Cheng Qiqi's hand.
"It's tree bark, I saw it with my own eyes."
Lin Huilan rushed in impatiently: "Liu Suyi, your good country daughter-in-law, you're trying to kill the Marquis!"
"Shut up."
Liu Suyi glanced at her, then turned to Cheng Qiqi and asked, "Can tree bark water reduce fever?"
"Laughing to death..."
Before Lin Huilan could even finish speaking, Cheng Qiqi confidently declared, "Yes!"
She had replaced the tree bark water with fever reducers from her spatial storage. For Marquis Zhongyong, as long as the fever subsided, he could save his life!
"I'll feed it."
As Liu Suyi spoke, she held the bowl and fed the food directly to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mouth.
"Liu Suyi, what benefit did you gain from killing the Marquis? You..."
Lin Huilan rushed over excitedly, but Cheng Qiqi stepped forward to block her, saying, "If Aunt Lin can bring a doctor, then we don't need to drink this tree bark water!"
"you……"
Lin Huilan shut her mouth immediately after her impulsive words and turned away sullenly.
"Mother, this is willow bark. Use the tenderest willow bark, and take the white part inside. It can reduce high fever."
Cheng Qiqi's confident words made Liu Suyi, who was feeding the medicine, smile and say, "Mother believes you!"
After drinking the bowl of medicine, Jin Lizhi changed the dressing for the Marquis of Zhongyong and dressed him in clean clothes.
Two large shared rooms are far better than lying on the ground or leaning against a tree to sleep in the wild.
"I never imagined that I would one day sleep on a large communal bed and feel comfortable."
Sitting on the bed, Liu Suyi felt as if the nearly one month of exile had been a dream.
"Knock knock".
A knock sounded at the door, and the women immediately sat up straight. Jin Lizhi's happy voice came from outside: "Second Aunt, Second Uncle's fever has gone down, you can all go to sleep now."
"Okay, thank you for taking care of me during the night."
Liu Suyi was relieved.
Jin Li said, "Don't worry, we'll have someone keep watch here tonight."
After he finished speaking, the women of the Jin family in the room were all relieved.
This Cheng Qiqi, the tree bark water actually works?
Lin Huilan muttered to herself, and just as she glared at Cheng Qiqi, she saw Liu Suyi's gaze. Lin Huilan immediately turned her back to her and lay down, pulling the blanket over herself.
"Qiqi, thank goodness you brought the medicine, otherwise the Marquis's high fever wouldn't have gone down, and his life might have been in danger!"
Liu Suyi raised her voice slightly, speaking specifically towards Lin Huilan.
"It's good that Dad is alright."
Cheng Qiqi smiled and said, "Mother, I want to go to the prefectural city to buy things tomorrow."
"You're going?" Liu Suying asked worriedly, "There are so many people in the prefectural city, those Zhangs will definitely not let us go..."
"I want to bring my uncle or second uncle with me. I want to buy some medicine, as well as some coarse cloth and cotton. Although it's warm in the south, the weather is getting colder day by day."
Cheng Qiqi thought, she has so many things in her space, if she doesn't buy more, how can she add more things to it?
"Alright, once we reach the prefectural city, there's a long mountain road ahead with no supplies. Unless they want us to starve, they'll definitely send us to resupply."
Liu Suyi had previously heard Marquis Zhongyong say that Scarface Zhang would definitely let them go to Hongdu Prefecture. She said, "Then, let's see if Zhang will agree tomorrow."
"I will agree."
Cheng Qiqi spoke with certainty. The next day, she slipped a ten-tael silver note to Scarface Zhang. Scarface Zhang gave her a deep look and said, "Three people go. You must be back before noon!"
"Thank you, sir."
Cheng Qiqi was overjoyed. She went back, hugged and kissed her daughter, and said, "An'an, be a good girl and stay with Grandma. Mom will go buy you candied hawthorns."
"it is good."
Jin Suian was overjoyed.
Mrs. He, standing to the side, rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath: "They're starving, and they're still buying candied hawthorns."
"Since three people are going, why don't we three men from our families go instead?"
Wen said with a smile.
"Third Aunt, I want to go."
Cheng Qiqi said, "Thank you for your hard work last time, Uncle and Third Uncle. This time, let those of us who couldn't go go."
"Then I'll go," said Master Jin.
"Bring Li Zhi along, Li Zhi is good at arithmetic," said Grandpa Jin.
Finally, Cheng Qiqi, Jin Lizhi, and Master Jin went shopping together. Everyone contributed money and told each other what they wanted to buy.
"Aunt Lin, if you don't bring money, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy any food," Cheng Qiqi said, looking at Lin Huilan who was pretending to be dead.
"Qiqi, could you buy some medicine for Yanzhi? His leg is broken..."
As soon as Lin Huilan spoke, Cheng Qiqi said, "Father said his leg will be fine after resting, why buy medicine? Food is the most important thing. You're not thinking of just eating and not taking anything, are you?"
"We're all family, so I naturally have no objections. I'm just worried that Dad might be unhappy when he wakes up."
Cheng Qiqi looked at Lin Huilan with a smile. Didn't she like to use the Marquis to pressure her mother-in-law? Then let her try it too!
No sooner had Marquis Zhongyong said that everyone should work together than Lin Huilan immediately asked her to buy grain without paying a single cent.
"I... I really have no money left."
As Lin Huilan spoke, she took out some loose silver from her belt and socks and handed it to Cheng Qiqi with great reluctance. She really had no money left!
Cheng Qiqi snatched it away, glanced at it, and thought, "This little bit of silver probably isn't even worth a tael. Lin Huilan, do you really have no money?"
Without thinking twice, Cheng Qiqi eagerly went into the city.
Master Jin and Jin Lizhi flanked Cheng Qiqi, protecting her from the middle. Dressed in tattered clothes, they followed Scarface Zhang into the city. When they heard the city guards collecting copper coins, Cheng Qiqi took out a few copper coins from her sleeve and handed them over.
After entering the city, Scarface Zhang instructed Li Ba to follow them at a distance.
"We're already in the city, are you still worried we'll run away?" Master Jin looked at the guards following them, his mood heavy.
"Fourth Uncle, let's hurry up and buy things."
Jin Lizhi thought about what he needed to buy, calculated the amount of money he had, and decided that spending all his money and buying as many things as possible was the most important thing!
"I'm going to buy medicine."
Cheng Qiqi took the initiative to speak, saying that Marquis Zhongyong needed medicine, and An'an was young and easily caught a cold when the weather changed, so the medicine was essential. In addition, she also needed to take out other things from her space.
Before they could speak, Cheng Qiqi walked away quickly; she needed to go alone.
After taking only a few steps, Cheng Qiqi saw a familiar face.
