Chapter 416 The Coffin
Ma Honglin: "..."

Seeing his wife suddenly running out of the room, Ma Honglin felt a little confused.

After a while, he heard a lot of chatter coming from outside the door.

"Lao Ma wakes up! Auntie! Lao Ma wakes up!"

"Great, the master finally woke up!"

"Bodhisattva bless you, God bless you!"

Before he could think for long, Zhou Yulan hurried to Ma Honglin's room with Dr. Shi and Wang Xiujuan who were staying in Ma's Mansion.

It was already early in the morning, when people are most sleepy. Wang Xiujuan cheered up and went forward to help check Ma Honglin's condition with Dr. Shi, and asked him a few more questions.

In terms of judging the condition, Wang Xiujuan could only rely on Dr. Shi. After the doctor took Ma Honglin's pulse, she asked, "How is it?"

Doctor Shi's face first showed an expression of surprise, and then slowly showed a puzzled look. Finally, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although General Ma's pulse is still very weak, it has stabilized. Next, continue to use medicine, and slowly Condition your body and you will recover within half a year.”

"Wanminhou, this is truly a miracle medicine!"

Wang Xiujuan and Zhou Yulan both breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

Zhou Yulan thanked her: "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Doctor Shi. Thank you for saving my old horse... If I don't have my old horse, I really don't know how I will live in the future, wuwuwu..."

Ma Honglin was lying in bed and felt anxious. He wanted to get up immediately, but it was difficult to even say a word.

Seeing Ma Honglin's anxious expression, Zhou Yulan comforted Zhou Yulan and asked him to take care of Ma Honglin.

He and Doctor Shi came to the side to discuss the next prescription for warmth and nourishment.

"General Ma's health is slowly improving. In the words of Marquis Wanmin, his immune function has slowly recovered." Doctor Shi thought for a while and said.

"Next, I just need to prescribe a few more medicinal diets, supplemented with Wanminhou's medicine, and I will be able to go to the ground in no time."

When the two discussed Ma Honglin's condition, they unknowingly exchanged a lot of medical skills. Wang Xiujuan gave the other party the Western medicine methods she knew, and the other party also taught Wang Xiujuan a lot of pharmacological knowledge. Both of them gained a lot.

"I finally feel relieved."

The two discussed and wrote down the prescription.

Zhou Yulan said a few words to Ma Honglin at the side. After the other party fell asleep again with a tired look, she came to Wang Xiujuan and thanked them profusely.

Since the person had woken up, they no longer had to stay in Ma's Mansion. They sent someone to send Dr. Shi back, and arranged for someone to send Wang Xiujuan back to Ning's Mansion.

……

The next day, Ma Honglin woke up again. This time he felt that his strength had recovered a lot, and he could at least speak.

Yesterday, he roughly knew his situation from the voices of Zhou Yulan and the people around him.

"Thank you for your hard work, wife." This was the first thing he said when he opened his mouth.

Zhou Yulan's emotions, which she had finally stabilized, immediately poured out like a torrent of water.

He sobbed: "You have no conscience, you don't know how to be careful when you go out to fight, how could you be so cruel and leave me and my son!"

There was no regret on Ma Honglin's face, but he was just a little distressed. He didn't know what to say to coax people, he just kept saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

After crying for a while, venting her inner grievances and fear of panic, Zhou Yulan began to explain to Ma Honglin what happened during this period. "Thanks to the medicine foam that aunt brought, otherwise you would really be dead this time. There is also Dr. Shi. Dr. Shi has been prescribing prescriptions to help you hang on to your life. When you get better, you have to go and thank them in person. .”

Ma Honglin smiled and said weakly: "You don't have to wait for me to get better. You can take out our things later and pick out a few good ones to send over first. When I get better, we can visit together to express my gratitude." "

"Okay, I'll go later."

"Come, take this medicinal meal, and later use the medicine left by the aunt."

Zhou Yulan kept chattering to Ma Honglin about everything about moving to Jingzhou. The two had corresponded before, but they were relatively few, and it was inconvenient to say many things in the letters.

During the time she served Ma Honglin, she told everything that happened during these days in detail.

It ranges from what to eat at home to what happened in the court.

On the day Chang Yuan ascended the throne, Ma Honglin only had the third prince of Nanchen sent to him as a gift for Chang Yuan's enthronement, while he was still far south.

Later, he was busy with the war and never had time to come to Jingzhou. He knew very little about the things in Jingzhou. He didn't know any of the things Zhou Yulan said.

"Our yard is really too big, and there are dozens of servants. If I weren't afraid of losing face, I would just move to a small yard and live in it. I don't have to spend money to hire anyone to clean it up myself. .”

"The people in Jingzhou are really strange. Many of them come from the countryside just like us, but now they dress up like others and act like monsters. They also look down on others. It's hard to dislike them just by looking at them."

"Fortunately, you let me have more contact with the aunt, so I'm not so bored now. I'll go talk to the aunt when I have nothing to do. Otherwise, I would have to die of suffocation. I don't know many people here. I want to talk to someone. It’s difficult to say even a few words.”

"When I was in the countryside, there weren't so many rules. Now that I have money, there are a lot of rules, and I have to take care of the government's account books. How can I manage the account books? I don't even know the words."

"You haven't come back for so long, and your son doesn't even recognize you. It's just right this time. While you're recovering from illness, spend more time with your son, so as not to lose touch with you when he grows up."

"Auntie said, you have to take care of her for at least half a year this time, so our family can finally be reunited."

Ma Honglin listened to his wife's chatter with a smile on his face.

After fighting on the battlefield for more than half a year, what he missed most was the days he spent with his wife and son. It was those days that kept him from getting lost and accompanied him through every difficult night.

……

"Madam." The servant's voice came from the door while the two were whispering in the room.

Zhou Yulan said: "Come in."

The servant came in to report, bent down and said to Ma Honglin and Zhou Yulan: "The coffin you ordered has been prepared, and the owner of the coffin shop has sent it over."

Zhou Yulan then remembered that she had not returned to the coffin after her husband woke up.

"Have someone send the coffin back quickly! I've recovered from my illness and don't need that thing. Don't bring bad luck to my grandpa. There's no need for a deposit, just send it back!"

The servant nodded in agreement, closed the door and left.

Ma Honglin also knew how dangerous he was, and his wife had even laid a coffin.

Zhou Yulan still looked unhappy and blamed herself: "It's all my fault that I didn't think of this."

"It doesn't matter. I've seen so many dead people, why am I afraid of a coffin?" Ma Honglin said with a smile.
