Frost shines on Qingcheng

"It's her business." Shen Shuangzhao didn't even know what Lu Qingrong wanted her for, and she couldn't be so innocent - she just let herself follow her and help her.

Cai'er was still dubious: "If Miss Lu treats me half as well as you, I would be willing to be her prisoner."

Shen Shuangzhao glanced at her, and smiled a little stiffly and helplessly: "I'm afraid this is not a good wish."

Cai'er also smiled at her, especially the innocent and harmless kind: "It's just a joke. Even if I have such thoughts, it depends on whether Miss Lu accepts me."

Shen Shuangzhao raised her head, the sun was gradually rising, she did not respond to Caier's childish jokes.Her thoughts were filled with the same person and the same thing, and she couldn't come up with a convincing answer after thinking about it for so long.

Time passed unconsciously.During the period, the two chatted a few more words intermittently, and then fell silent again.

"What are you doing?" Just as the two of them were in a daze, a stern and slightly angry voice brought them back to their senses.

Seeing that it was Lu Qingrong, Caier hurriedly stood up, not daring to raise her head: "Lu...Miss Lu..."

Shen Shuangzhao looked at her calmly with clear eyes.

Lu Qingrong looked at Cai'er, then turned away to look at Shen Shuangzhao.The eyes of the two met and looked at each other for a while, Lu Qingrong's eyes instantly turned cold: "Shen Shuangzhao, I told you to look at the medicine, but you chatted with her during the day."

"It's true that I chatted with her, but I really like looking at medicine." Shen Shuangzhao retorted.

Lu Qingrong narrowed her eyes, her gaze became more and more fierce, she went to lift the lid by herself, and said with a sneer, "This medicine is almost dry, and I smelled it from a long distance away. You are really good at watching!"

Shen Shuangzhao's expression changed suddenly, and she hurried over to look at the medicine, and it was true that the medicine was almost dry as Lu Qingrong said.

"I wanted to find someone to watch it with you, so that there would be no mistakes. I didn't expect you to be so leisurely, completely disregarding the life and death of the whole village."

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't believe it: "Impossible. I just checked the medicine pot not long ago. According to the cooking time, it is impossible for the medicine to be boiled in such a short time." She was not reconciled, and went to open a few medicines The lid of the jar, "Ah..." But because she was too hasty, she was burned by the hot medicine lid, and she let go of the pain, and the lid just fell to the ground.

Lu Qingrong saw that she was clumsy and her hands were burned by the lid, so she was furious: "Shen Shuangzhao, you are really stupid!"

Seeing Lu Qingrong sullen, Cai'er recalled her cruel treatment of criminals before, and her fear became even worse. As soon as her legs softened, she knelt down: "Miss Lu, forgive me, it's all my fault. I spoke, and this delayed the preparation of the medicine."

"Sister Shuang'er?" Lu Qingrong frowned even tighter, these four words sounded tiresome to her, and her words became more and more mean, "How long has it been since you even called my sister?"

"No, things are not what Miss Lu thinks, Sister Shuang'er and I... No, Miss Shen and I are just..." The more Cai'er explained, the more flustered and incoherent she became.

Shen Shuangzhao didn't want to continue arguing with Lu Qingrong, and admitted her mistake openly: "It is true that we are wrong about this matter, and I never thought that the medicine would be boiled away after just talking for a while. We were wrong, which delayed the progress of the villagers. Treatment, I am willing to be punished."

"Punishment?" Lu Qingrong taunted her with a smile, "Shen Shuangzhao, who do you think you are? What can you redeem by punishing you?"

Shen Shuangzhao pursed her lips tightly, it was her fault, she had nothing to say.Cai'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling with fright, for fear that Lu Qingrong would turn on her and make her life worse than death. Shen Shuang could understand her fear, but there was nothing he could do.

One of the two people in front of him was kneeling, and the other had a log-like expression of apology, which made Lu Qingrong lose even the strength to get angry.In the end, she was the first to pull her face down: "It is indeed your fault for not being optimistic about the medicine, but it doesn't make any sense to say these things now."

Shen Shuang looked at her intently with her black eyes: "..."

"The medicine I prepared has no effect on the plague, so if the medicine is boiled, it will be spoiled." Speaking of the plague, Lu Qingrong's tone was full of sadness.

"Even you can't do anything?" Shen Shuangzhao was infected by her lost emotions.

Lu Qingrong's eyes drifted to the distance, the deserted yellow desert, helpless.

"There will always be a way." At this moment, Shen Shuangzhao could only comfort her with simple words.

Lu Qingrong didn't make a sound, and walked straight into the house.

After she left, Shen Shuang went to Fu Cai'er: "Get up."

Cai'er was so frightened that she almost cried, and she slowly stood up from the ground with the support of Shen Shuangzhao.She had been kneeling for a long time, and her knees were numb. Before she could stand firm, her legs softened and she almost fell down again. Fortunately, Shen Shuangzhao supported her in time.

Half of Cai'er's body fell on Shen Shuangzhao's body, and the two of them stuck together.Shen Shuangzhao turned her face to the side, with an uncomfortable expression: "Be careful."

The two dawdled outside the house, and Lu Qingrong looked out of the house, only to feel more and more irritable.

After noon, both Qilin and Ziqin came back from the epidemic area and reported to Lu Qingrong the latest situation in the epidemic area.Lu Qingrong fiddled with various medicinal materials: "The medicine I prepared last night didn't seem to have any effect, and I re-developed the prescription just now."

"Then miss, would you like to give it a try?" Qilin asked.

"The epidemic is severe, and now we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I want to brew the medicine, but the medicinal materials we brought with us don't have the medicine of Cliff Grass." Lu Qingrong explained.

Qilin said: "Then... why don't you hurry up and go back to Shahai to fetch it?"

Lu Qingrong thought for a while: "If I remember correctly, there is a mountain twenty miles east of this village, across the Gobi. I heard from Dr. Ge that the Cliff Grass is picked from the cliff of that mountain. "

"Subordinates can leave immediately..."

Qilin was interrupted by Lu Qingrong before he finished speaking: "No. I will pick it myself. Qilin, you don't even know what the cliff grass looks like, so it won't help if you go."

"But miss, the remnant cliff grass grows on the cliff, and it is very dangerous to pick it. The subordinates can't let you take this risk." Ziqin was worried.

Lu Qingrong shook his head: "I have made a decision, so you don't have to raise any objections. The mountain is low, so I will naturally be careful. Ziqin, you and Qilin stay here and take care of the villagers with the others. Don't let the people get sick. The people who are not infected are separated from those who are not infected. I will set off now, and if everything goes well, I will be able to return before dark."

"This...Miss, this subordinate is still worried about you going to gather medicine by yourself." Ziqin said, "Let this subordinate wait to accompany you."

Lu Qingrong refused: "The village needs manpower, and there will always be horse bandits invading, you two must stay and watch. I will go and return quickly by myself." She seemed to remember something, and said, "If you have to be accompanied Go, it's not you."



"You are riding too slowly, and your skills need to be improved." After Lu Qingrong tied up the horse, Shen Shuangzhao arrived hurriedly.

Shen Shuangzhao jumped off the horse, with lingering fears in her heart: "I'm not you——I've been with the Gobi desert since I was a child. Riding a horse in the Gobi desert, you have to go fast, it's too difficult." She cleaned the medicine pot outside and cleaned it well, but Lu Qingrong With one order, she was brought to be her "medicine boy".

Lu Qingrong came over, stroked the horse tenderly, and smiled at the horse: "So, we should ride the same horse like last time."

Shen Shuang heard what she said, and recalled the scene of Lu Qingrong riding a horse with her arms around her from behind that day. It was too intimate and sticky, and there was always an ambiguous and embarrassing sense of discomfort.

Seeing her staring blankly, Lu Qingrong joked: "Looking at you, do you really remember that we rode the same horse?"

It doesn't feel good to have something in your heart exposed, but Shen Shuangzhao still pretended to be calm, picked up the medicine basket, turned around and walked forward first, and replied lightly: "You think too much."

Lu Qingrong looked at her figure and smiled meaninglessly, then stroked the horse's mane, settled the horse and left.

"What does the remnant cliff grass look like?" Shen Shuangzhao asked with the medicine basket on her back.

Lu Qingrong: "It grows on the cliff, to find it, we have to climb up the mountain."

"The mountains here are not high, and they are all bushes. If you are not careful, you will get scratched."

"This is for you to hear. I went to the mountains to collect herbs since I was a child, and mountain climbing is not difficult for me. But your previous injuries have not healed, so don't add any new injuries." Lu Qingrong explain.

Shen Shuangzhao was silent.

Lu Qingrong asked again in a strange tone: "In the morning, I saw Cai'er grabbing your arm and throwing herself into your arms, did I touch your wound?"

"No."

I thought she would refute me a few words, but I didn't expect that Shen Shuangzhao would have nothing to say, leaving only a sullen back for herself.Lu Qingrong felt itchy in her heart, and felt uneasy again for no reason.

Unhappy and unhappy, Lu Qingrong didn't forget what they were here for, and the two of them finally climbed up the mountain after some effort.

Lu Qingrong looked around, and it took a long time to find the trace on the shady side of a steep hill.

"Give me the basket, and I'll go pick it."

Shen Shuang looked at the steep mountain and didn't react for a moment, she subconsciously clenched the medicine basket in her hand.

"Why are you standing there?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"It's too dangerous, you can't go there." Shen Shuangzhao seriously dissuaded her with a serious face.

Lu Qingrong: "What should I do if I don't get the medicine? It will be dark in a few days. Shen Shuangzhao, give me the medicine basket."

"No." Shen Shuangzhao shook his head and still refused, "You are the one who develops the prescription for the epidemic. If something happens to you, what should the people in the village do? I'll pick it up."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Lu Qingrong snatched the medicine basket and pushed Shen Shuangzhao away, "Just wait here for me."
