Chapter 410 – Rescued

Despite the medication, Mr. Tan didn’t wake up and his fever went down, so the four men couldn’t let go so quickly.

Da was still a little hesitant to go to the doctor and the medicine.

In case Miss Wei’s medicine doesn’t work, they’ll go back to the doctor for fear of delaying Mr!

Xiu Mei saw the hesitation and entanglement of these people and said, “Don’t worry, human lives are at stake, my young lady wouldn’t open this mouth if she didn’t have any certainty.”

Ah Da looked hesitant brow wrinkled: “I know that your lady is certainly not reckless with human life, just ……” just this medicine can not be put to use is not known.

Xiu Mei added, “If you don’t believe that my lady’s medicine can cure your husband, just wait for two hours, and if your husband hasn’t turned awake after two hours, you will go into the city to find a doctor according to the plan you have made.”

Da hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.

Because if we leave now, even if we can successfully enter the city, we can successfully find the doctor, and bring back the doctor will be at least tomorrow.

After an hour and a half of anxious waiting by the four Ah Da, Mr. Tan awoke.

When Mr. Tan’s forehead was probed again, he was surprised to find that his fever had subsided.

This is really divine! I can’t believe the fever went down so quickly!

After that, Wei Ruo mixed another bowl of medicine for Mr. Tan, and then instructed Ah Da and the others to give Mr. Tan medicine every three hours after that.

By the next morning, Mr. Tan had basically recovered and his whole body looked refreshed and sickly.

Learning that he was saved by Wei Ruo’s medicine, Mr. Tan thanked Wei Ruo, “Thank you, Miss Wei. I really don’t know how to thank you this time.” Mr. Tan said.

“There’s no need to say thank you, it’s a kind of fate that you and I can meet here.” Wei Ruo said in a flat tone.

She didn’t think to ask for favors or money in exchange for this situation.

“Miss Wei, you are an unusual woman.” Mr. Tan commented.

“Mister get some rest, although you are 80-90% better, you still need to recuperate.” Wei Ruo said.

After Mr. Tan was unharmed, Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San immediately set off to continue shoveling snow to open up the road along with Xu Fengyuan Lu Yuhong and the others.

It’s day six already, so we all need to pick up the pace.

One more day here is one more day of danger.

This time Mr. Tan contracted a wind chill and was lucky enough to be saved by Miss Wei, but next time I don’t know who will get sick, and I don’t know if I’ll be so lucky as to run into Miss Wei with medicine on her body.

The ten of them had been digging for three days, and they had only dug about one-fifth of the way to the city gates.

If the weather doesn’t turn warm and the ice doesn’t melt, they’ll need to dig for another twelve days at this rate ……

The mood of the crowd was a little heavy.

These three days had already left a few people a little overworked and with more blisters on their hands.

Even if they had practiced martial arts and mounted archery on a regular basis, they were all a bit overwhelmed.

Digging for twelve more days …… they may not make it ……

But even if the road ahead is uncertain, they still have to keep digging.

Digging at least one can do one’s part to hold the fate in one’s own hands, not digging one can only listen to the fate of God.

Just when the crowd thought it would be a long time before they could dig to the gates, things took a turn for the worse.

At noon that day, the crowd had just nibbled on two mouthfuls of the noodle cakes Wei Ruo had prepared for them that he had brought with him when they realized that a few figures had appeared in the middle of a white blanket of snow in the distance.

The distance was far, and the figures were as small as ants, but yes, they were figures.

And the number of people is also very large, crow, there are dozens of people.

The crowd watched for a while and then realized that the men were shoveling snow and digging a path just like they were!

“It’s the people of the city! They’re digging out!”

Upon discovering this fact, Liu Yu exclaimed with joy.

Immediately after that, Lu Yuhong and Gao Wentian both let out cheers as well.

The crowd finally saw hope, and were in an excited mood, hastily speeding up their movements.

Two hours later, the two sides converged.

Seeing the fifty to sixty government officials and ordinary people across the street with shovels, spades, hoes, and other tools, a hot current surged into the hearts of the people.

After the excitement the crowd immediately folded back to the shed to deliver the good news to Wei Ruo.

It turned out that Lord Yuan had responded on the first day of the heavy snowfall by organizing government officials and soldiers and a large number of people in the city to mobilize everyone to shovel the snow and open the roads.

Because of Lord Yuan’s good governance, both the common people and the gentry and magnates respect and trust Lord Yuan, so everyone is very cooperative.

In addition to sweeping the snow away from his neighborhood, he also took the initiative to send people to support the government offices and follow the officers out of the city to sweep the snow.

That’s what makes the whole process of shoveling snow and opening roads so quick.

After hearing this Xiu Mei lamented with a look of excitement, “Lord Yuan is so powerful! To actually arrange for people to dig outside the city so quickly!”

Wei Ruo agreed, to be able to organize a large number of people to dig up the main roads within the city and open up to the outside of the city in such a short period of time, the ability to deploy the ability to execute was outstanding.

Xu Fengyuan explained the situation to Wei Ruo, “Miss Wei, the road dug out in the city is wide enough for your carriage to pass through, it’s just that the section of the road we dug out is rather narrow, only big enough for one person and one horse to run alongside.”

“There’s no harm in it, Mr. Xu you guys go back first, I’ll wait for the people in the city to dig the road to me before I depart.” Wei Ruo replied.

“No, it’s too dangerous to leave you two women in the middle of nowhere.” Xu Feng Yuan objected.

“Xiu Mei and I can take care of ourselves, and now that the snow has covered the four fields, not to mention people, even the animals don’t come out, so there is no danger. What’s more, it won’t be long before the people in the city can widen the rest of the road,” Wei Ruo explained.

“This ……” Xu Feng Yuan is still a little uneasy.

“Brother Xu should go back first, I’ll stay here to take care of my sister.” Wei Yi Chen spoke.

Immediately after that, Wei Yichen patted Xu Fengyuan’s shoulder and signaled with his eyes for him and the others to leave as soon as possible.

Xu Feng Yuan instantly read Wei Yi Chen’s meaning and knew that the rest of them staying would not be a good thing for Wei Ruo.

So Xu Fengyuan left first along with the others.

Mr. Tan also went into the city, escorted by four servants.

Before they left, Wei Ruo gave them the remaining two pills along with the porcelain bottle that contained them.

Wei Ruo, Xiu Mei, and Wei Yi Chen were the only ones left in the shed.

Wei Yi Chen sat outside on the blanketed bamboo bed, quietly keeping watch.

During the evening meal, Wei Ruo built a fire and cooked as usual, but this time the portions that needed to be made were smaller, just the three of them.

Wei Ruo made pasties with flour and dried meat and pasted them on a pan to fry.

“Eat.” Wei Ruo handed the meatloaf to Wei Yi Chen.

Wei Yi Chen looked at the meatloaf in his hand and didn’t move his mouth right away.

“What’s wrong? Not to your taste?” Wei Ruo asked.
