On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 23 Not spitting hard enough
  "Second Grandpa, I will plan this matter carefully. It is important for you to have a good rest and take good care of yourself first."

Ye Changlin started coughing again and said, "Thanks to Xiangxiang, this girl is very capable. If it weren't for her, so many of us would not be able to get through this difficulty. If she hadn't begged, Mr. Meng probably wouldn't have been able to get through this." Willing to help.”

Ye Hongchang was also very happy to hear that his daughter was praised, "This child is reliable when things happen. She really helped me a lot along the way."

Ye Changlin smiled and said, "Good boy, such a good boy."

He was in very bad spirits. He was already old and had a serious illness, but he was holding on pretty well.

Ye Hongchang asked him to have a good rest and go back to figure out what to do next.

He found an open space and drew a rough route on it, where he thought and weighed the pros and cons.

Ye Xiangxiang and several people cooked a pot of medicine together. She still didn't have the heart to tell everyone what was added to it. She should drink it first and then talk about it.

But it is said that you will vomit after taking the medicine, and you will be much better after vomiting, so please don't panic.

Seeing that Ye Hongchang had found a few people to discuss matters, Ye Xiangxiang also went over to listen when he had some free time.

"Second brother, let me just walk to the other side of the river in one go. Anyway, we have worked hard for so long just to get to Dayan. Now we are right in front of us. It would be better to go there as soon as possible."

"No, if we cross the river by wading, we will have to lose a lot of things, as well as the old, weak, women and children. How will they cross the river? In my opinion, we should go faster and cross the river through the official road before the water rises. "

"That would be too risky. If there is a heavy rain on the road, all of us may not be able to save our belongings. Then there will be refugees and soldiers chasing us. We may not be able to cross the river. Who knows what will happen?"

Several other people looked at him, "Then what are your plans?"

The man said, "If you ask me, it's better to find a place to hide for the time being to avoid the refugees. This rain won't keep falling. It won't be too late to leave after the rain stops and the river water recedes."

Everyone has their own ideas, and they all make sense, so it's hard to make a decision.

They argued for a long time, pointing out the shortcomings of each other's methods, but to no avail.

Ye Hongchang couldn't make an easy decision now. He thought over and over again and still didn't know the best way to go.

He turned his head, and there was a little girl in green squatting next to him. Who could she be if she wasn't his daughter?
  "Xiangxiang, did you hear what we just said?"

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "I heard it all. The current situation is indeed too complicated. I don't blame you uncles for not being able to reach a consensus."

After these days, Ye Shaodong also saw that she was a girl with ideas, so he asked, "Xiangxiang, in your opinion, how should we go now?"

In fact, it’s hard to say. Each of the three paths does have its own pros and cons, and something must be given up. The most important thing now is to choose which path has the least disadvantages.

Everyone looked at her, everyone wanted to hear her opinion. After all, she had really solved a lot of troubles and came up with a lot of good ideas along the way.

Ye Xiangxiang thought carefully, then pointed to the first path, "Wade across the river."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others looked at each other. Even Ye Hongchang was surprised.

"Xiangxiang, there are more than sixty people in our group, and there are no more than twenty who can swim. How will the others get there?"

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Aren't there still twenty people who know how to swim? Now that we are in trouble, we can only help each other. Since my father has pointed out this way, it means that it is possible to go, but it is a little difficult. But which way to go now?" Isn’t it difficult?” She looked at everyone and asked, “Do you still remember why we are fleeing the famine now?”

"We are going to Great Yan."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Yes, there is no way out in Zhaochuan. We are going to Dayan to settle down, so going to Dayan is our final goal. In this case, it is better to go early."

"These roads have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although it may be safer for us to choose other roads, we will not be able to reach Dayan as soon as possible."

Ye Xiangxiang looked at Ye Hongchang, "Dad, so many people in Zhaochuan are fleeing to Dayan. Have you ever thought about Dayan's reaction? If they go too late, can they still enter smoothly?"

Ye Hongchang also had this concern and nodded immediately, "Xiangxiang is right. We should not only consider which way is safer, but also which way is more conducive to reaching Dayan. If we can't get in in the end, we will have to go all the way. Away in vain.”

He made a decision and arranged, "Hongshun, you and Shaodong go to explain the interests to each family and make everyone understand this decision. Brother, you and your people will chop more wood in the next few days. We have to do it." Raft across the river.”

He looked at Ye Xiangxiang again, "Xiangxiang, we must let everyone get better within two days at most. Otherwise, if the river water rises, we will be unable to cross the river by wading."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded seriously, "Okay, I will find a way."

That night, everyone drank the medicine Ye Xiangxiang prepared, and after a while some people vomited it out.

She went to each house to comfort her and told everyone that this was normal and that she would feel better if she vomited.

Wang also vomited, and Ye Xiangxiang immediately brought water to rinse her mouth, "Grandma, drink some water."

Wang's eyes were filled with tears. After she regained her composure, she said, "Xiangxiang, this medicine is really bitter. Although good medicine tastes bitter, drinking it will make you feel nauseous."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Yes, this medicine is very bitter and contains rat droppings, so it has a fishy smell and is very disgusting. Most people will vomit after drinking it."

Mrs. Wang couldn't believe what she heard, and asked again, "What do you think is in this?"

Ye Xiangxiang repeated, "Rat droppings are just rat droppings."

Although Wang was born in a farming family and was used to seeing rats and rat droppings everywhere, this was the first time she drank this kind of medicine made from rat droppings.

She imagined that black mouse droppings melted when exposed to water and turned into a black medicinal soup, and then she drank it...

Just thinking about it made her feel like her stomach was churning again. She tilted her head and vomited a lot more things, even more violently than she had just done.

Mrs. Zhou was not infected and went to another place to rest. At this moment, Mrs. Liu was taking care of Mrs. Wang. After hearing this, she said, "Xiangxiang, please stop talking. Your grandma is so sick after hearing this."

Ye Xiangxiang didn't speak and just stared at Mrs. Wang. After she finished vomiting, he checked her pulse. She felt much calmer and her complexion was not that bad.

She was very surprised and said with a smile, "If you want to say it, it would have to be more disgusting. Mom, didn't you notice that grandma got better after vomiting?"

Mrs. Liu frowned and realized that it was indeed Ye Xiangxiang who said this. She was immediately very curious, "Xiangxiang, what is going on?"
