The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 641

[641. Chapter 620 Recovering from a Serious Illness]

Everyone carried Fang Jinglong to the tent of the patients.

This is a place that no one pays attention to. There are more than a dozen large tents, with dozens of people in each tent. There are only simple beds inside, sewage flows everywhere, and no one is willing to take care of them.

The desperate soldiers had no choice but to cry.

But at this time, countless people poured in.

These military attachés, who were rarely seen, solemnly entered the big tent one by one, and people cleared Fang Jinglong’s bed. At this time, many patients realized that a big shot had arrived.

But when they found out that the person coming was Ping Xihou, many people were shocked.

Mrs. Liu remained silent from beginning to end.

She knew very well what her husband wanted.

Although we can’t wrap our bodies in horse leather, we can at least achieve some loyalty.

Although every general is stained with blood on the battlefield and can be said to be loyal and courageous for the country and the people, people are always made of flesh and blood, and they have righteousness and personal feelings.

And everything Fang Jinglong did was also for his son.

For his flesh and blood, that young man who is thousands of miles away and whose flesh and blood are connected.

Mrs. Liu sat in front of the hospital bed and held Fang Jinglong’s hand. Fang Jinglong’s hand was very cold.

Mrs. Liu leaned over and explored Fang Jinglong’s forehead. It was hot. It seemed that Fang Jinglong was still a little unwilling. He had regained consciousness from the fainting just now. He tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn’t, only his lips. Squirming slightly.

Mrs. Liu’s eyes flashed, her lips were close to Fang Jinglong’s ear, and she whispered: “Don’t worry, even if you lose your life, I will make sure that your successor is safe so that he has no worries. If your loyalty is not enough to influence the court, Then, there is still me. If it is not enough for you to die in Guizhou, I will also die in Guizhou, either on the battlefield or in the camp…”

The unwilling squirm on Fang Jinglong’s withered mouth seemed to be because of the kindness of the listener. Liu’s words made her feel relieved, her breathing became more even, and she fell asleep peacefully.

Mrs. Liu, dressed in military uniform, stood up, glanced left and right, and said to the officers: “Now, the epidemic is raging, and all the guards are panicked. At this time when people are panicked, if there is a slight change, the sky will collapse and the earth will fall apart. Now Pingxihou is seriously ill and bedridden.” Get up and rest in this camp for the time being. I will patrol the camps on behalf of Marquis Ping Xi!”

Everyone said: “Madam…”

Mrs. Liu is an unusual lady. In Guizhou, she has always assisted Marquis Ping Xi as his wife. Many of the ideas came from the Liu family, and she had a very high prestige among the natives. At first, the guards were not convinced by this native woman, who was also a traitor, but gradually Yes, I was convinced. Now, seeing that at such a critical moment, Ping Xihou was seriously ill on his bed, but he still asked his wife to patrol the camps to calm people’s hearts. The military officers were deeply moved and said: “Madam, you humble servants can do it for me. There is no need for madam…”

Liu said sternly: “I heard that every time there was a major epidemic in the Ming army, it was because of people with ulterior motives who plotted evil and created chaos. This epidemic has already made our army very anxious. At this time, we must take precautions before it happens. You should be more careful, this is the responsibility of the Pingxi Houfu. You Han people have a saying, I don’t know if I understand it correctly, it is called weapon and name, and you can’t fake it; this is my responsibility!”

said Liu! He left a few personal guards and led the crowd out of the tent. He inspected several camps that day, visited the sick and wounded soldiers, learned about the number of deaths and illnesses in each camp, and comforted the military attachés in each camp…

With Liu’s inspection, The battalions, which had been almost paralyzed due to the epidemic, finally regained some of their military semblance. Guards were set up again, healthy soldiers resumed training, and sick patients who had been left unattended began to be taken care of.

After inspecting several camps around Guiyang, Liu will lead his people to inspect the guards in southern Guizhou tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

That is the place where the most native people are entrenched, and they are intertwined with the Liu clan. The purpose of patrolling there is to appease the native people of the Liu family, lest anyone among the natives see the weakness of the Ming army and instigate rebellion. Keep the officers and soldiers in each guard to prevent laxity in the army. Not only that, further south, the tribes to which the Liu family belongs have continuous mountain villages. These hundreds of thousands of tribesmen are scattered in the vast mountainous area, adjacent to the Annan Kingdom. The purpose of going here is to prevent the Annan people from taking advantage of the chaos to take chestnuts.

Although the Annan people would never dare to launch a large-scale attack on the Ming Dynasty, they were so ambitious that they would definitely create trouble and take the opportunity to get involved in the Ming Dynasty’s territory.

The exhausted Mrs. Liu returned to the military camp where Fang Jinglong was located. Here, because of Fang Jinglong’s arrival, many patients began to receive better treatment, and even the environment where sewage flowed across was greatly alleviated.

It had been more than ten days since Mrs. Liu had had a good night’s sleep. She looked exhausted. She thought that she would be traveling far away tomorrow and would leave Fang Jinglong here. This parting might mean that the couple would never be separated from each other until life and death. Mrs. Liu suddenly thought of , I am a woman after all, but at this time, I need to be stronger than anyone else, and my heart feels like a knife.

“It’s not good.” The guard who was taking care of Fang Jinglong said in fear: “Master Hou can’t breathe.”

Sure enough, Fang Jinglong was breathing heavily, as if he was suffocating, and his body was twitching.

Mrs. Liu was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she was at a loss.

The doctors came in a hurry. After a doctor’s consultation, one doctor’s face turned pale: “What kind of medicine did the Marquis use? This medicine is very poisonous. I’m afraid it won’t work. Now, his abdomen is severely bloated and his breathing is like…” He is also much heavier, his breathing is disordered, and his condition is many times worse than before. The student has called so many times, but the Marquis has not responded, and he is afraid that he has lost his hearing.”

The doctor saluted Mr. Liu. : “Madam, I’m afraid… I won’t be able to survive the night. It’s better to prepare for the funeral early.”

It was already late at night, and there was only a faint candlelight in the tent, swaying, making Mrs. Liu’s face flicker. , Mrs. Liu’s face was miserable, she didn’t say anything, she just sat on the couch, holding Fang Jinglong’s hand, silent.

This night was extremely long.

In the dark, there were only occasional painful moans from the nearby hospital bed.

Mrs. Liu’s mind was completely confused. After dawn, she was about to set off, but now, she had to wait for her husband to die completely.

My own hot hands could not warm Fang Jinglong’s cold hands no matter what.

Mrs. Liu sighed in her heart, feeling sad but still holding on. She was the wife of Ping Xihou, a royal decreed by the imperial court, and her husband had a family. He could no longer support this family, so she had to support her. This is her husband’s last wish, and she must keep her promise to her husband.

Wait until dawn.

But a rooster came from nowhere and began to crow.

Ms. Liu became drowsy.

Suddenly, a voice said: “I’m hungry, do you have some porridge?”

“…”

Ms. Liu was silent for a moment.

She subconsciously thought it was the sound coming from the escort who was here with her.

But there was a hand that weakly placed on her waist: “I’m hungry.”

“…”

It was… it was… his voice.

At this time, there was only a glimmer of morning light outside the account.

Liu’s heart jumped into her throat.

She thought she was dreaming.

“Hold the lamp, hold the lamp.” Mrs. Liu shouted.

The guard was sleeping. When he heard his wife’s call, he almost jumped up. He quickly took out the fire stick and lit the candle.

Together with the candlelight, Mrs. Liu saw Fang Jinglong’s face.

Fang Jinglong’s face turned sallow.

But…he opened his eyes.

There was neither heavy breathing nor any sign of pain, but calmness, very calmness, just like an ancient well without waves.

“You…”

Mrs. Liu subconsciously touched Fang Jinglong’s forehead.

There was… a cold feeling on her forehead…

Joy flashed across Liu’s eyes…

The high fever… actually subsided.

Mrs. Liu looked at Fang Jinglong in disbelief.

But Fang Jinglong was very weak. He said angrily: “I… had a dream. I dreamed that I had been hungry for a thousand years. There was a big steamed cake in front of me, but I couldn’t eat it. I’m so hungry. Hurry, find some. Come get some food.”

“You…you’re done.”

“I can’t die!” Fang Jinglong regained his composure.

But at this time, Ms. Liu was crying, her face turned pale as she cried, and her heart was filled with pain.

After holding on for so long, when Fang Jinglong suddenly improved, he cried so hard that the entire camp heard Liu’s cries.

Pity the countless injuries and illnesses in this tent. After finally falling into a drowsy sleep, they all woke up at this moment.

“Jifan’s medicine…his medicine…” Mrs. Liu burst into tears, and the crystal tears fell on Fang Jinglong’s face: “His medicine has miraculous effects…”

“Jifan’s medicine…” Fang Jinglong opened his eyes, and joy flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that it was his strong physical fitness that enabled him to survive.

But it turned out to be…

“This medicine… and… hundreds of kilograms were shipped.” Mrs. Liu gently beat Fang Jinglong’s heart, showing the delicate look of a woman, as if she was angry because her man came back alive. She can safely be the little girl behind a man, and even her voice is a little softer.

“Really…really…” Fang Jinglong naturally realized what the medicine that could reduce his fever overnight meant.

How many of my old brothers will this save?

Could it be possible that the Ming Dynasty’s military horses would no longer be afraid of this terrible malaria?

But at this time, the guards heard the Marquis shouting that they were hungry, and they hurriedly got a bowl of porridge and water.

This is the most common sweet potato porridge, the main ration in the army.

Fang Jinglong smelled the aroma of porridge water from a distance and was already salivating.

Not caring about so much, with Mrs. Liu’s help, he sat up, and then Mrs. Liu personally fed him porridge and water.

Fang Jinglong drank almost all the bowl of porridge and water.

After half a month of this disease, even if he ate something, he would vomit it out quickly, leaving his stomach empty. After a mouthful of hot porridge, Fang Jinglong seemed to have revived and couldn’t help but say: “It smells so good!

” …

I was sick a few days ago and forgot to express my gratitude to the 38th leader, SH1T-JD. I am very grateful to SH1T-JD, thank you.
