As soon as Bai Zhi stepped into the camp, all she could see were piles of wood and sawdust. Gong Shuyu was lying in the corner, curled up into a ball, his thick eyelashes fluttering slightly, looking really pitiful.
Bai Zhi leaned down to feel his pulse, and after a moment, he retracted his fingertips.
"How is he?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"If you get a little cold, just drink a bowl of medicinal soup." Bai Zhi took out the pen and ink and wrote the prescription.
Wind chill...
She suddenly remembered Gongshu Yu bathing in the river. Could it be that he contracted the disease at that time?
"The Song Army attaches great importance to the bed crossbow matter. His illness may delay it." Liu Ruyan sighed.
"It doesn't matter." Bai Zhi put the prescription in her armband, "He is not seriously ill, and a bowl of medicine will be effective."
"Ahem, cough, cough -" a cough came from the quilt. Gongshuyu sat up half-supported, his eyelids were drooped, and his voice sounded feeble due to weakness, "Huaian is weak and fell ill, which affected everyone. If Xie
The general will take the blame and I will bear the blame alone."
Liu Ruyan's eyelashes were half lowered. After all, if she hadn't met Gong Shuyu by the river, he wouldn't have let the cold air enter his body.
"I didn't take good care of him, which made my little brother suffer." She apologized sincerely.
Gongshu Yu shook his head weakly and forced a smile, "I can't blame you for this."
She pursed her lips and said nothing, remembering that Gongshu Yu still hadn't eaten a grain of rice so far, so she asked, "Brother, are you hungry? I'll bring you a bowl of noodles."
"How about I cook some medicinal porridge." Bai Zhi suggested kindly.
When Gongshuyu heard that Bai Zhi wanted to cook the porridge with his own hands, he happily agreed, "Doctor Gou is a kind-hearted doctor. I'm really doing you a favor."
"Drinking some medicinal porridge will help you recover." Bai Zhi said truthfully.
The smile in Gongshu Yu's eyes deepened, but his face looked a little embarrassed, "I have a disease that makes my throat dry and hoarse. If I were in the mansion, my cook would make a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup, and add two spoons of it.
Osmanthus honey has a sweet taste, Huaian misses it very much."
Bai Zhi frowned. Lily and lotus seeds were not difficult to obtain, but Osmanthus honey, the king of honeys, had to be searched for. "I'll go see where there is Osmanthus honey."
Liu Ruyan remembered that there were several bee nests in the back mountain, "I will go look for them with you."
The coughing sound came again.
Gongshu Yu said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Bing, pour me some water. I want it to be warm."
There is only boiled water and raw water in the camp. If you want to drink warm water, you have to drink the boiled water slowly to cool down.
"You stay and take care of him, I can go into the mountain alone." After saying this, Bai Zhi walked out of the tent.
On this day, Liu Ruyan stayed by Gong Shuyu's side, serving him tea and water, squeezing his shoulders and rubbing his back, making him hum.
Before leaving, Bai Zhi specially gave the prescription to the soldier to cook the medicine. The soldier cooked the medicine and sent it immediately.
Liu Ruyan took the medicine bowl and waited until the medicine soup was not so hot before feeding it into his mouth one spoonful at a time.
Halfway through feeding, she suddenly remembered that she was a "scout", so how could she be confused with a "server"?
However, as soon as he finished drinking the medicine, Gongshuyu began to complain of pain and wanted to eat candied fruits.
But where are the candied fruits from the military camp?
Liu Ruyan had no idea and ran to the gang leader soldiers to ask for some sweet dates.
After a busy meal, when the sun went down and the North Star first appeared, Bai Zhi stepped into the twilight and put a bowl of fragrant lily and lotus seed soup into Liu Ruyan's hands.
It's midsummer right now, and even if the soldiers are training, they won't pick the worst time when the sun is at its worst, while Angelica dahuricae is searching for honey in the mountains and fields.
He has a fair complexion. As a doctor, he usually stays in a tent, but today due to exposure to the sun, the parts exposed outside his clothes are unusually red, and a layer of skin has peeled off around the back of his neck.
Liu Ruyan had never seen Bai Zhi like this before, and she felt very sorry. She immediately soaked a Gebu towel in cold water and put it on the back of his neck.
"Just go back and apply some medicine, it won't be a problem." Bai Zhi covered the towel with her hands, her eyebrows were gentle, and there was no trace of resentment in her words.
After applying it for a while, Bai Zhi went back to apply the medicine. Before leaving, he took Gong Shuyu's pulse and let him rest well.
As soon as they left, Gongshuyu said in a straight tone: "You seem to have a very good relationship with Doctor Gou."
Liu Ruyan asked back: "As a friend in need, do you think it's OK?"
Gongshu Yu was disdainful: "No one in the army is a friend in times of need, but with the interests at hand, no one is climbing up just to gain credit."
"It's not what you think." She shook her head.
After that, she tested the temperature of the lotus seed soup with her fingertips. It was neither hot nor cold, and it was just right for her mouth.
"You can drink it." Liu Ruyan helped him sit up, and gently stirred the bottom of the bowl with a spoon. The soup was thick and sweet, with a layer of dark red wolfberry floating on it.
She scooped up a spoonful of wolfberry lotus seeds, brought it to Gongshu Yu's lips, opened her mouth and said, "Ah——"
Then put a spoonful into his mouth.
Gongshuyu was fed a mouthful of sweetness, but his face showed disgust: "You don't need to feed me, I'll do it myself."
Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and handed the bowl over.
The craftsmanship of this bowl of medicinal food was undoubtedly excellent. Gongshuyu sipped it in small sips, and the sweet soup quickly reached the bottom.
After being waited on for a day, Gongshu Yu looked very good, and his cheeks were slightly rosy, but he still trembled, raised his fingers angrily, and ordered Liu Ruyan to get busy.
"Xiao Bing, go get me a basin of hot water to wash up."
"Little soldier, clean your hands for me."
"Xiao Bing, go outside and get a chamber pot."
Even carrying a chamber pot!
I'll take care of you!!
Liu Ruyan has some knowledge of Huang Qi's technique, and it is not difficult to see that Gong Shuyu has begun to recover. No matter how patient she is, it is for the sake of the cold illness caused by her. Now she has to go too far, and she still wants me to serve you Chugong.
So, she looked at Gong Shuyu and smiled sadly.
"Why are you laughing?" Gong Shuyu's hair stood on end.
"Take off your pants for you. How can I be respectful if I don't take off my pants?" She smiled and moved towards him firmly with both hands.
Gongshu Yu immediately ran to hide. He held the quilt tight with one hand and blocked his crotch with the other, with a look of horror on his face.
"You, don't come here...I don't need you to serve me from now on!"
"Are you serious?" She pretended to be pityful.
Gongshuyu nodded like he was pecking at rice.
Liu Ruyan clapped her hands, thinking, this kid has finally become honest, he still dares to jump on my head.
In the early morning of the next day, Gongshuyu recovered from his serious illness.
He was full of energy and bent over the carpentry bench, cutting wood with a saw.
The heavy-duty bed crossbow was half-made. When Liu Ruyan brought back the hot porridge, she saw him sitting among a pile of pictures and writing, seemingly with no intention of stopping.
"The cold porridge is ready to drink," she said.
Gong Shuyu finally stopped what he was doing, walked up to Liu Ruyan, and took the bowl and chopsticks.
With nothing to do, Liu Ruyan walked to the carpentry table and glanced at the pile of drawings on the table.
Making a siege bed crossbow cannot be completed overnight. There are seven or eight sketches drawn alone.
She picked up the drawings and flipped through them one by one. She saw that each picture was drawn very carefully and neatly.
Regarding the machine structure, he drew up eight ideas, marked the pros and cons of the crossbows, compared them, and finally selected the best one.
This shows the unique craftsmanship.
Gongshu Yu hurriedly finished cooking the porridge and began to devote himself to carpentry again.
He held up a giant crossbow, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he thought for a moment before marking the dimensions on the picture.
Liu Ruyan had met carpenters before, and usually they would arrive at the dimensions through repeated calculations. But when they saw it today, it only took Gongshuyu a moment to go from thinking to making a decision.
