Chapter 353 Immortal
"My lady asked Your Majesty to set up camp early tonight. She... wants to make some medicine soup for everyone."
Ding Qiao finally caught her breath after she finished speaking.
"What kind of medicinal soup are you boiling? Why are you boiling medicinal soup all of a sudden?"
"The lady said that it's getting colder ahead and we need to take precautions early, so we chose today."
King Rui jumped off his horse.
He pulled the horse a little further to the roadside before speaking again: "What is the reason? If it is just to keep away the cold, Miss Lu will wait until night."
"This..." Ding Qiao was speechless.
King Rui was furious and urged, "What is the reason?"
Ding Qiao knew that it was impossible to hide this matter from anyone except King Rui, so after some thought, she told the whole story of Ye Xinran discovering Ermao's illness.
Ding Qiao spoke calmly, but she didn't know that her words had already caused a storm in King Rui's heart.
"Miss Lu just said that she would make medicine for everyone in the evening?"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, King Rui just confirmed this matter with Ding Qiao.
"Yes!" Ding Qiao replied.
"Okay!" King Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xinran's attitude made him feel a little relieved.
"Go back and tell Miss Lu to go to bed early today so she can make preparations early."
"Okay, I'll definitely convey it."
"In addition, the girl also said that she would distribute masks to everyone later and asked everyone to wear masks on their faces from today onwards, except during meal times."
"Just do as your young lady says. I will inform them."
After saying that, King Rui returned to the team, and Ding Qiao returned along the original route and returned to Ye Xinran.
"The prince agreed. Let the girl make preparations early."
Ding Qiao reported back.
Ye Xinran nodded.
Based on her understanding of King Rui, when King Rui heard her request, he must have known that things were not simple.
Sure enough, Ding Qiao said that King Rui asked for the reason for stopping.
"These masks are for each person, you take them out and let them pass them around."
Ye Xinran took out a mask and taught Ding Qiao how to use it.
Ding Qiao didn't ask any more questions and passed all the masks around like she did before.
Before long, everyone in the team had a white mask on their face.
The mask covered half of the face. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Why cover your face in broad daylight?"
"It's not okay at night. This white thing will be seen by everyone at a glance."
"But this mask is so light and easy to wear."
"Yes, it's not hard to breathe. It's much better than the black cloth I tore off myself before."
“I just don’t know what it’s for.”
"Who cares? Miss Lu asked me to bring this with me. It must be useful!"
……
"Miss, can this disease really be cured?"
After finishing all the work and finally calming down, Ding Qiao asked the question that worried her the most.
She had no doubt about Ye Xinran's medical skills.
But this time Ye Xinran is facing not one or two patients, but a team of 20,000 people who may be infected.
"I just thought about it, it should be fine."
Ye Xinran took out a package from behind her. Inside was the medicinal materials she had prepared in the laboratory while Ding Qiao was away.
"Take a break while you wait. Divide these herbs first and throw one pack on each fire."
"Yes!"
Ding Qiao took the heavy package.
"Is it enough to just burn these herbs? Is there any medicine that needs to be taken?"
Ding Qiao asked worriedly.
"Have!"
Ye Xinran turned around and took out another smaller package.
"These are the medicines I prepared. I will give them to the firemen later. I will ask them to boil them in the pot for half an hour and then distribute the medicine soup to everyone."
"it is good!"
Ding Qiao didn't feel relieved until she saw the package of medicine.
There are things you can drink and things you can smell. This is the one that can really cure diseases.
"Miss, how long will it take for these medicines to take effect?"
Ding Qiao asked.
"It hasn't spread widely yet, it's just a precaution, so it will be effective after taking it for a day or two."
Ye Xinran answered.
"If anyone is infected, they will need to take additional medicine."
This time, she seized the initiative and gambled on everyone's physical fitness.
If the body is weak and the virus enters the body, a large number of people will surely fall down.
……
The time to rest at night was even earlier than Ye Xinran expected.
When the signalman in front waved the flag to signal for a break, the people behind were startled, thinking they had encountered the enemy.
"What happened? Why did you stop suddenly?!"
"Are there enemy troops blocking the road?"
"What? Aren't we in the barbarian territory yet? Did they know we were coming and wait for us on the road?"
"Didn't we meet two of them this morning? I guess they've finished their Meng Po soup by now."
"Those two are dead, and there's no way to send a message. How did the barbarians know we were coming?"
"There are no enemies, no! Stop guessing. The general is afraid that we are tired, so he lets us rest early." Finally, someone got the exact news and began to comfort everyone.
"Didn't you say we had to cover some distance today? Why are you resting early again?"
"That's right. We can still walk 10 miles before the sun sets!"
Everyone has his or her own opinion.
At this time, Ding Qiao and Zhang Qian had already split up, one moving forward and the other moving backward, and began to distribute the medicine bags that would be thrown into the firepower at night.
"Who among you is responsible for starting the fire? Remember to wait until the fire is almost burned down, generate charcoal, and then throw the medicine bag into the fire."
"Wouldn't it be a waste to put this medicine in the fire? It would be gone once burned."
"What do you know? This medicine is meant to cure diseases through burning smoke. When the time comes, remember to sit around the fire and don't stand too far away."
When the two of them were dividing the medicine packets, they both gave careful instructions.
Everyone was a little confused.
Only the infantrymen who were closer in the morning had some idea of the situation.
“It must be an infectious disease.”
"Yes, otherwise Miss Lu wouldn't have to distribute the medicine."
"Is this the reason why I rested early today?"
"Is it serious?"
Some people are unsure.
"The fairy is here, what are you afraid of!"
Someone said, "I have never heard of a disease that cannot be cured by immortals. This thing thrown into the fire may be the elixir. Once everyone smells it, it may not only cure the disease, but also prolong life."
"Then I have to smell more!"
"Me too. I'm weak. Let me smell it a few more times."
"I'm the oldest, so I should be the first to smell the news!"
"Well, let me ask..."
Amid the debate, one person spoke up weakly, "If it is a magic medicine, can it cure all diseases? Can it also cure my infertility?"
"Old Liu, you..."
"Zhou Laoliu, everyone is thinking about how to survive, but you are the only one who is still thinking about having a baby!"
"What's wrong with having a baby? Having a baby is a big deal! I support Sixth Brother!"
"Yes, let my sixth brother smell it first then!"
Everyone was arguing with each other in a lively manner, as if with Ye Xinran around, no one really took the matter to heart.
……
After the carriage stopped, Ye Xinran went to the front to find King Rui first.
Although she had informed King Rui during the day, she still had to explain the specific situation to him.
