Chapter 156 My Welfare Mission 4
With the new house, Si Daniu found a carpenter in the village and ordered some simple furniture. Tables, cabinets, boxes, etc. It was not so convenient to always eat with a bowl in hand.
The villagers also knew that the Si family had become rich, and they were all envious. But this wealth was only theirs, and no one knew about this herb!
Sike bought some bedding and cotton quilts. Their house used to sleep on straw, but now that they have changed, it is so much warmer.
Such days are plain and stable, and the Si family feels that it would be good to live like this for the rest of their lives.
However, when Si Ke went up the mountain that day, he found a man lying in the mountain.
It was a man, and he was badly wounded, not by a wild animal, but by a sharp blade.
"Could this be about an emperor or a prince? It's always played like this in TV dramas: the person being hunted is often of noble status and is saved by a village girl. Then, when they return home, they forget about the village girl. Eighteen years later, a son or daughter goes to the capital to look for their relatives..."
"Host, you're overthinking it. Look at his clothes, so gray, how can he look noble at all?"
"Oh! Don't be so skeptical. Who among the common people would bother to hunt down and kill someone? Are they just bored?"
"So, will you save this person or not?" Lao Liu said speechlessly.
Si Ke went forward and felt the man's pulse to see if he was dead. If he was, she wouldn't bother. If he wasn't dead, then she would save him. After all, it was a life, and it could be considered a good relationship!
However, after feeling his pulse, Si Ke laughed. "Oh! Not only are there external injuries, but he's also been poisoned for a long time. But fortunately he met her, otherwise it would be really difficult to save him."
"Are you sure there aren't any pursuers or people looking for them nearby?" Si Ke asked Lao Liu again to confirm. Don't let them attract assassins after they get them back. She has a lot of children at home now, so she'd better not bring disaster to the family.
"Host, I'm sure there's nothing within a hundred miles."
After receiving a positive answer, Si Ke brought the person back home.
Seeing the person that Si Ke picked up, the whole Si family was shocked. However, the Si family was kind-hearted and said nothing, and settled the person down.
So the second and fifth brothers gave up their rooms and squeezed in with their brothers.
After cleaning the person, Si Ke began to apply medicine to him.
A boy of seventeen or eighteen, fair and good-looking, but very thin. Just like his family members before him, it was obvious that he had never had a good life.
Sike was even more confused. How could someone hunt down such a person? Could it be that, as she thought, he was a prince who had fallen into poverty? Suddenly, his identity was exposed, and the emperor wanted to retrieve him, so the other princes and concubines couldn't sit still and sent a large group of people to hunt him down?
But no matter how curious he was, Si Ke would not pry into it. After all, there were some things where the less you knew, the safer you were.
The man woke up the next day, but when he woke up, he found that his clothes were open, and in addition to the medicine, there were also a lot of silver needles stuck on it.
The boy's ears turned slightly red, because there was a pretty girl standing next to him!
"Don't move, it will be fine in a while." Si Ke saw him open his eyes and quickly reminded him.
After a while, Si Ke pulled out the silver needle, tugged at his clothes, and walked out.
Then, a young boy came up to him with a bowl of black medicine.
"Young master, come and drink the medicine! My sister said that you have to finish the medicine." The one who came in was the second brother. He was not shy and helped the man up and handed the medicine to his lips.
After drinking, the third brother came in again, this time with a bowl of minced meat porridge.
"Second brother, my sister asked me to bring it to him, you continue to feed him." The third brother took the medicine bowl from his hand, replaced it with porridge, and ran away.
The man took the medicine and drank the porridge, and finally regained some strength. He said, "Thank you for saving me."
"If you want to thank someone, thank my sister! She was the one who found you while she was picking herbs in the mountains."
"Your sister? The girl who just treated me?"
"Yes, my sister can do anything!" Ever since Si Ke defeated the young master of the Dong family and supported the family, she has become the object of the second brother's admiration. Now, he has seen his sister cure diseases and save lives, which makes him think that his sister is a fairy who can do everything.
"By the way, what's your name? Your injury won't heal in a while, and you'll probably have to stay in our house for a while. It's not good to keep calling you Young Master!" The second brother seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly.
"My name is Gu Qinghan!"
"Oh, then Mr. Gu, you take a rest. I'll go out first." After the second brother asked, he turned around and left without disturbing the patient's rest.
The current royal family's surname seems to be Chen, not Gu, but who knows if it's a pseudonym. Si Ke didn't dwell on it after finding out, and just cured the patient and called it a day.
So, she treated Mr. Gu every day. He had been poisoned by a chronic poison, probably caused by being poisoned for a long time. Detoxification was not difficult, but it was very time-consuming.
Gu Qinghan initially thought Si Ke only had some medical knowledge; after all, she was so young and didn't look like an experienced doctor. But after a few days, not only had his wounds mostly healed, but he also felt much better.
Over the years, he always thought that he was weak, and his health was getting worse and worse. He often felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughed incessantly.
Now, he feels that his pains seem to be slowly disappearing, and he no longer feels as uncomfortable as before, which makes him very happy.
Si Ke's treatment was formulaic. She never asked about other people's pasts, as it had nothing to do with her. She would leave after each treatment and would not stay.
After all, there are differences between men and women, especially in this era. As for delivering food and medicine, she left it to the waiter. She was busy with her own things, so what else could she do?
On the other side, Si Ke made some more pills, called her mother aside, and handed her a porcelain bottle somewhat embarrassedly.
Ma Chunlan took the medicine bottle, looking puzzled, and asked, "Keke, what is this?"
"Mom, this is that... that contraceptive pill! Take one when you and my dad do that... that thing, and you won't get pregnant again, and it won't have any effect on your body." Si Ke stammered. She had actually made this thing a long time ago, but she didn't know how to give it to her. What kind of daughter would give this to her parents? But Ma Chunlan had a fertile physique, and if she didn't take this thing, she might get pregnant again one day. If she gave birth again, it wouldn't be a matter of hunting pheasants and catching fish, she would probably have to carry a wild boar back every day. Although it's not that she couldn't catch it, but whenever she thought of this, Si Ke felt a headache. She had enough children at home, and she really didn't need it anymore.
Ma Chunlan chuckled. This was definitely a good thing. She didn't want to have another child, but there were no effective contraceptives in this era, so if she got pregnant, she had to give birth.
Seeing his mother happily accept it, Si Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
