Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 209 Great kindness
"Hurry! Xiao Hei, run!"
As Zhang Laoer gently waved the whip, Xiao Hei seemed to understand his master's intention. He pushed the ground with all four hooves, instantly speeding up, and the carriage sped on the road to his hometown.
The journey was almost over. The roughly twenty-mile long, rugged and winding mountain road stretched quietly through the lush forests like a forgotten ribbon.
At this moment, this narrow path seemed particularly secluded, and the mottled shadows cast by the dense trees on both sides added a bit of mystery and uneasiness to the journey. It was indeed a hidden area where bandits roamed and were easy to ambush.
Just as the group was moving forward, a figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead, standing in the dust and abruptly blocking their way.
The driver, Xiao Hei, a sturdy black horse, was driving so fast that it suddenly stopped without any warning, forcing Zhang Laoer to pull the reins tightly and apply emergency brakes.
Inside the car, with the sudden jolt, the Zhang family lost their balance for a moment and staggered. Fortunately, the experienced Grandpa Zhang was quick-witted and grabbed the door frame firmly with one hand, using his still strong arm as a fulcrum to barely avoid possible chaos and injury.
After stabilizing the car, Zhang Laoer leaned out, frowning, and asked the uninvited guest loudly: "What are you doing? Are you trying to imitate those highway robbers? Can't you see that we are driving so fast? What's going on?"
Although there was anger in his words, he could not hide a hint of surprise and vigilance.
The woman looked to be about forty years old. Although her face was covered with dust from a long journey and her clothes were tattered, the people present were all from the Zhang family who were well versed in fabrics and could tell at a glance that the dark green embroidered silk dress she was wearing was of extraordinary quality. It was obvious that this woman was not an ordinary person.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately knelt on the ground, tears flashing in her eyes, and she spoke in a choked voice: "I am really sorry, everyone. Our family has encountered an unprecedented disaster, and we have no choice but to end up here. My child has had a high fever for two days. If he doesn't see a doctor in time, I'm afraid... wuwu... I really have no choice but to take the risk of blocking your carriage."
Looking in the direction of the woman's finger, I saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, with a pale face and thin body lying weakly on the weed-covered roadside. He was obviously in a deep coma.
"We are not doctors. What's the point of stopping us?"
Zhang Laoer's tone revealed a bit of impatience, but the woman still begged: "Please, let us take a ride so that we can take the child to the nearest clinic for treatment."
At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and night was falling quietly. Zhang Laoer looked up at the sky and gently waved his hand to refuse: "No, there are six of us in our family, and it will be too crowded if you are included. Besides, it will take at least half an hour to get to Yanzhou, and we are eager to go home. You should wait here for other passing carriages."
Facing Zhang Laoer's rejection, the woman's eyes flashed with despair. She kowtowed desperately, blood gradually seeping from her forehead, and she cried inconsolably: "Please, save my child, he can't leave me like this, I...I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you."
Xu Liyun in the car could not bear to watch this scene. She quickly got out of the car, gently helped the heartbroken woman up, and took out a box of precious cold medicine from her bag, trying to help her.
At the same time, Zhang Wuya followed closely behind, got out of the car and carefully prepared the medicine using the hot water still in the thermos.
The woman took the medicine hesitantly, feeling mixed emotions. Xu Liyun saw through her thoughts and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. This medicine was originally prepared for my own child. It is specially used to treat colds and is absolutely safe and reliable."
Encouraged by Xu Liyun's sincere gaze, the woman finally made up her mind. She first bowed deeply to Xu Liyun to express her endless gratitude, then tightly grasped the cup of hot tea filled with hope and ran to the young man.
She turned her back to the Zhang family and quietly took out a thin silver needle from her bosom. She carefully conducted a simple test on the medicine, and after ensuring that there was no harm at all, she carefully fed it to the boy.
After witnessing this scene, Zhang Wuya turned to look at her father Zhang Laoer, her eyes full of expectation: "Dad, since we have already started to help, why don't we do it to the end? If we squeeze a little more in the carriage, there should still be room for them."
Zhang Laoer sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness and tenderness: "Well, well, let's just consider it as accumulating some merit for the children."
After he finished speaking, he resolutely jumped off the carriage, bent down, picked up the unconscious boy on his back, and walked towards the carriage with firm steps.
The woman's eyes were moist again, and her words were full of sincere gratitude: "Thank you so much, our whole family will remember this great kindness in the future."
So the carriage set off again, with Zhang Laoer driving the car, and Zhang Laoye and Zhang Mingyi also moved tacitly from the carriage to the driver's seat and moved forward together.
By the time the group arrived at Chengguan County, the night was already as dark as ink.
Unfortunately, most of the pharmacies in the county town have closed their doors, and our only hope lies in Tongjitang at the intersection of Huaishu Street, where the dim lights are still on.
Zhang Laoer skillfully parked the carriage in front of the drugstore and said to the woman, "Sister, go up and knock on the door to see if there is any doctor who can see us."
Without saying anything, the woman hurriedly got out of the car and knocked on the closed door of the pharmacy. Fortunately, the door slowly opened, revealing the face of a sleepy little pharmacist. He asked curiously, "Is there an emergency?"
It turned out that Dr. Yang often had the habit of seeing patients at night, just in case there were patients who needed urgent treatment.
Zhang Laoer and others quickly assisted the woman to carry the boy into the pharmacy and briefly introduced him, "This child has caught a cold and has had a high fever for two consecutive days."
Upon hearing the news, Doctor Yang quickly dressed and went out to greet the boy. He closed his eyes, placed his hands lightly on the boy's wrists, and performed a careful pulse diagnosis.
Then, he skillfully used silver needles to lightly prick several key acupuncture points on the boy's body. After a moment, Doctor Yang slowly opened his eyes, and with a heavy sigh and a slight shake of his head, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Seeing this, the woman felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart. She was so frightened and uneasy that she could hardly control herself. She asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor, what happened to the child?"
On the side, the young lady did not take the old doctor's pretentious attitude seriously. A playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought that these old-fashioned practices were really puzzling, so she decided to go home and have a good rest.
Doctor Yang seemed unaware of this. He took the paper and pen handed over by the medicine boy and began to prescribe medicine with a serious expression. He said at the same time: "Your son's physical fitness is extremely weak. What's worse is that there are chronic toxins hidden in his body. I'm afraid this poison has been lurking for many years. From now on, Madam, you must be careful about everything. You must pay special attention to the child's diet and daily life!"
