On the other side, Gu Chengrui entered the room and walked to the bed to examine Zhao Cheng. He said, “Fortunately, it’s only a tendon injury, but just the safflower oil won’t do. I’ll make some ointment for you later, and remember to apply a hot compress.
“Also, you must take good care of yourself and not catch a cold. Otherwise, it may cause a chronic illness.”
“I’ll remember it; sorry for the trouble.” Zhao Sheng nodded.
“In any case, you fell and injured yourself while working for the restaurant. Rest well for a few days.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he gave him a few more instructions.
He then left the room.
After that, the couple did not stay and quickly returned home.
By the time they reached home, it was already freezing. The two made a cup of onion soup and drank it.
They then heated up the stove and ate a hot pot of mutton soup.
After lunch, Gu Chengrui went straight to the interspace to make some herbal medicine. Zhou Ying, on the other hand, had some free time. She then remembered that there were three chickens in their backyard in addition to the horses.
The chicken was frozen to death from the snowstorm, but it was still meat.
Thus, she went straight to the backyard, fed the horse water from her interspace, and added firewood to the underground storeroom.
She took out the shovel and started digging at the chicken nest’s approximate location.
After about two hours, she finally found three frozen chickens and two frozen eggs.
She took two eggs and a chicken to the kitchen, putting them by the stove and defrosting them.
As for the others, they were buried back in the snow.
In the evening, Zhou Ying simply stewed chicken soup with a few wolfberries and red dates.
When the meal was ready, the village chief walked in. After seeing the chicken soup on their table, he said, “I was wondering whose chicken was so fragrant. Half the village could smell it.”
“Grandpa Qian. You’re here; let’s eat together.”
“No, I’ve already prepared dinner.
“I’m here because the village constable has given us a task. He asked us to send a group of people to other villages to help save them.
“I thought that if someone were injured, 1 would like Chengrui to come with us tomorrow.
“By the way, everyone who goes will be given one pound of mixed noodles daily.”
“But I’m short on medicine now.” Gu Chengrui wanted to say something but stopped.
“I’m aware of this. I’ve applied to get medicinal herbs from the village constable.
“I’ve also heard that it was from the Zhou medicine shop. Tomorrow, you can see what can be used and what can’t, and we will do our best and leave it to fate.”
“Alright, I’ll go over earlier tomorrow.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he asked him to sit and eat with them.
The village chief quickly turned around. “No, I’ll go back first. You guys hurry up and eat. Don’t let the food get cold.”
Gu Chengrui saw he could not keep the village chief from leaving, so he sent him out.
He locked the door when he came back.
The following day, after breakfast, Gu Chengrui went to the village chief’s house with the ointment he had prepared for Zhao Cheng. When he discovered the village chief was going to the newly formed village, he said, “Grandpa Qian, that place is connected to the manor.
“If you want to know more about the situation, you can go there directly. The village is newly built and is safe.”
“That’s great, but making a round trip is better. We will request that they send some people to help save others, and at least they get a share of the food.”
“You’re right.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement and asked, “By the way, where did you put the medicinal herbs?”
“It’s in the west wing of my house. I’ll take you there now.” After the village chief finished speaking, he brought him into the west chamber of his house..
