AWB Chapter 767: Severe Snowstorm
Chapter 767: Severe Snowstorm
One can imagine the hardships that an inexperienced person would have to endure if he hurriedly embarked on a difficult journey to escape from the famine.
In fact, the little girl had a fever on the second day of fleeing the famine, but she gritted her teeth and followed.
He waited until the carriage stopped in the evening, then came to Lu Qingqing to ask if there was any medicine to reduce the fever.
Old Man Zhuang saw that she was a little shaky, so he felt her pulse and found out.
The little girl had injuries on her body and fled with the others without proper treatment.
Now some external evil has entered the body.
Fortunately, among the common herbal medicines I had prepared, there was a medicine bag specifically for this purpose.
After collecting the medical fee, Old Man Zhuang helped to boil the medicine and sent it over.
In addition, she was given a dose of external medicine for wounds.
I don’t know if it’s because the medicine prepared by Old Man Zhuang is so effective, or because of Sun Yue’s strong will to survive.
When she woke up the next day, she was able to continue on the journey.
He also paid a generous tuition fee by buying medicine and seeing a doctor from Old Man Zhuang and began to study medicine.
At this point, she had more interactions with Old Man Zhuang and Lu Qingqing.
After a few days, they were no longer together except for food and accommodation.
At other times, whenever she stops to rest, she will come over to help after she finishes her work.
Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang refused several times, but Sun Yue always rushed to do the work.
In her words, she could only survive safely if she followed them.
It's my duty to do some work.
Old Man Zhuang had a very good impression of Sun Yue.
If you say that the initial teaching was for money.
The subsequent teaching is based on appreciation.
Although Sun Yue is a thin little girl, she is very resilient.
Traveling every day was hard enough, but she set a goal to read a certain number of pages of medical books before going to bed.
She studies hard and is smart and insightful.
She became more attentive when Old Man Zhuang taught her.
In fact, Sun Yue is only reading basic medical books now.
The kind of real teaching that Old Man Zhuang understood was not allowed by the conditions on the road of fleeing famine.
However, with this little apprentice, he felt more motivated.
That day, Lu Qingqing was driving the car when she felt a slight wind picking up.
After walking a short distance forward, the wind became stronger and stronger, making a humming sound.
The strong wind blew snowflakes onto people's faces, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.
At the same time, visibility in the sky became increasingly low.
The sky seemed to be covered with a gray curtain, and underneath the curtain there was wind and snow.
The carriage, which looked extremely small in nature, was moving forward with difficulty.
Old man Zhuang stuck his head out of the car and shouted to Lu Qingqing:
"Qing girl, there's something wrong with this snowstorm. Let's find a place to hide!"
Lu Qingqing also felt something was wrong. It was a bit like a severe snowstorm.
But I couldn't see the scenery in front of me at this time, and I tried to find a sheltered place in a panic, but it was difficult to find one.
At this time, Sun Yue behind him drove forward and shouted:
"Qingqing, Master, there's a small path on the right that leads down to the official road. Let's go down and hide there!"
Amid the howling wind, Sun Yue's voice drifted faintly.
Lu Qingqing nodded at her quickly and followed her in the carriage.
The carriage wheels pressed through the thick snow and slowly went down the official road.
In the white snow, the two carriages moved forward slowly like little ants.
At this time, the visibility ahead was not even more than three meters.
Seeing this situation, Lu Qingqing didn't go far and stopped directly beside the ditch below the official road.
For fear that the horses would be frightened and run away, the frame was removed as soon as the carriage stopped.
The two carriages were close together, and the people and horses were hiding behind the carriages.
At this moment, the horse was blown so hard that it couldn't open its eyes, and it faced the direction of the wind and snow with its butt.
Not long after they stopped, the wind and snow became stronger and stronger.
The snow on the ground was blown away.
If you open your eyes now, you will see snow all over the sky.
The sound of the wind has also changed from the initial whimpering to a sound like ghosts howling.
As the wind grew stronger, Lu Qingqing felt like she was about to be blown away.
This is really not an exaggeration.
If she stood up at this moment, she would really be blown away by the wind.
Feeling her body stagger, she grasped the wood of the frame tightly with both hands, closed her eyes and buried her head in the snow pile in front of her.
Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue next to them also made similar movements.
Listening to the whistling sound of the wind in their ears, the three of them felt a little panicked.
Soon, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and more and more snow fell on my body.
Lu Qingqing felt that a thick layer of snow had fallen on her body.
She shook herself left and right to shake off some of the snow.
The horse next to them also began to become restless in the face of the increasingly strong wind and snow.
They can sense the risk but don't know how to respond.
Among the three horses, only Xiaobai was relatively quiet and moved silently towards Lu Qingqing.
The other two horses were already a little agitated and tried to break free from the ropes.
In the blizzard, Old Man Zhuang tried hard to keep his body steady while holding on to the reins tightly.
Sun Yue next to him was doing almost the same thing.
Their subsequent escape was almost entirely dependent on horses.
If they break free and run away, what will they do next?
Just thinking about it makes it difficult.
In the blizzard, the horse was still twisting and trying to break free.
The reins were tightly held in the hands of Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue, and their hands were broken and bleeding from the friction back and forth.
Neither of them cared about the pain and just held on to the reins tightly.
Half an hour later, the wind and snow slowly subsided.
The gray color that just covered the sky has also faded away.
The three of them were covered with a thick layer of snow and were almost buried in it.
When I stood up, the snow on my body fell off.
The three of them looked at each other, their faces filled with joy at having survived the disaster.
When they were cleaning the snow off each other's bodies, Lu Qingqing discovered the blood on their hands.
She thought she had been hit by something in the blizzard, and was shocked and hurried forward to check.
Old Man Zhuang patted the snow off his hands and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, just a minor cut from the bridle."
Sun Yue didn't care much. She grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and rubbed the blood off her hands.
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but frown as she watched her movements.
She has been in this era for so long and has actually seen people die from wound infections.
Even minor wounds should be taken seriously.
Not to mention, the skin on the palms of their hands were rubbed raw by the rough reins, which was a serious injury.
She used clean water mixed with space water to rinse the two of them, and then took out the ointment to apply on them.
Finally, tie a layer of clean white cloth and it’s done.
After treating the wounds, the three of them cleaned up the snow that had fallen on the roof of the carriage.
After finishing the carriage, he looked at the horse next to him.
At this moment, most of the snow that fell on the horses was thrown off by them, and a small amount was stuck in their fur.
The three of them took horse brushes and combed the ice and snow out of the fur.
After finishing the work and packing up, they hitched up the carriage and set off again.
When we set out again, the snow on the ground was even thicker.
The carriage became more difficult to move.
Once back on the official road, it was difficult to increase the speed.
After the carriage went forward for a while, several bodies were found on the roadside.
The bodies were covered with a layer of snow, but one could vaguely make out their human forms.
