Chapter 62 Save the young man
While they were eating the buns, Qin Zhi told them to run boldly down the mountain road, as the guards along the way had been knocked unconscious. Run as fast as possible, as far as you can, and she would find a way to delay the people in the mountain.
Qin Zhi told them that if they trusted her, they could go to the Taiping Town section of Daliang Mountain first. There was a hidden cave 20 miles south. There was a crooked pine tree outside the cave. She had hidden food in it in advance. They could settle down and rest for a while, and make plans after the King of Huainan was no longer paying attention to this matter.
Those men naturally trusted Qin Zhi very much, and they all knelt down to thank him. After thanking him, they all took their wives and children and quickly fled from this devil's cave.
Next, Qin Zhi returned to the yard where the carriage had dragged her. The yard was now quiet.
This courtyard is very large. There is a kitchen, woodshed, hall, etc. in the front yard. The backyard is even bigger, with rows of rooms that are too numerous to count. No wonder, there are at least 800 people guarding the cave. They are also human beings and need to rest.
At this time, it was already slightly light in the sky, and Qin Zhi entered the woodshed. As expected, he saw a young man leaning against the woodpile without moving. It seemed that he had not been tortured, but he looked pale and seemed to be terminally ill.
Qin Zhi felt his pulse and found that he had intestinal carbuncle, commonly known as appendicitis. There was no way to treat him at the moment. Qin Zhi carried him to the carriage. The coachman Ah Fu should be leaving. Ah Fu had already placed the bamboo baskets for shopping in the carriage last night, so with the cover of these baskets, it should not be easy to find that there was an extra person in the carriage.
Not long after, Ah Fu went out with a rustle, and Qin Zhi watched him drive away. Qin Zhi blew the drug into all the rooms in the courtyard, which made it easy for them to sleep soundly for another two or three days.
Qin Zhi ran back and forth several times throughout the night, and now she was familiar with the terrain. She took a shortcut and quickly caught up with Ah Fu's carriage. By chance, the horse's hoof was tripped by a stone, and Qin Zhi took the opportunity when the carriage was shaking to jump on the carriage. Qin Zhi hadn't slept all night, and now she fell asleep in the shaking carriage.
When Qin Zhi woke up again, the young man was already awake and was staring at her.
"Don't get me wrong, I just rescued you." Seeing the young man's unfriendly eyes, Qin Zhi hurriedly explained, pointing to the front of the carriage and making a hushing gesture.
The young man didn't say anything, just looked at her steadily.
Qin Zhi lifted the car window curtain and looked out. In the distance, he could vaguely see Shenjia Village.
Qin Zhi closed his eyes and thought about things. He couldn't understand why the King of Huainan repeatedly framed the heroes who fought against the Japanese pirates.
When he arrived at Shenjia Village, Qin Zhi even heard those familiar voices. It couldn't be such a coincidence that Ah Fu went to his great-grandfather's house to buy vegetables.
Qin Zhi heard his great grandfather greeting Ah Fu, and then he took Ah Fu to the vegetable garden to look at the vegetables.
Qin Zhi quickly got her head out of the carriage, but she was frightened by the face that appeared in front of her.
Shen Bi was looking at Qin Zhi who suddenly appeared with curiosity. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Zhi made a hushing sound to signal her to be silent.
"Cousin, please go and help me keep watch. Is there anyone outside?" Qin Zhi said in a low voice.
"No, it's so early, almost no one is awake yet." Shen Bi shook her head.
Qin Zhi quickly jumped off the carriage, put the bamboo basket aside, and signaled the young man to get off quickly. But the young man was not in a hurry at all, he snorted playfully and still sat there motionless.
Qin Zhi was almost mad with anger. He had finally rescued this guy, but he acted like a big boss and even picked up Qiao.
But Shen Bi couldn't stand it anymore and said to Qin Zhi: "Is this thin monkey with a pointed face and monkey cheeks dumb? You gestured to him for a long time, but he didn't say a word."
The young man choked, then lifted up the corner of his clothes and got off the carriage.
"Cousin, my uncle left a key at your house, take it here secretly."
Shen Bi happily went home to steal the key.
In less than a minute, Shen Bi came back with the key. The two entered the Shen family's old house, and the young man paused for a moment and followed in.
Qin Zhi closed the door and the boy instantly became alert. Qin Zhi rolled his eyes, a guy who didn't know how to appreciate kindness.
"Cousin, go back first and don't tell anyone else that I'm here. Also, don't talk too much to the guy who's buying groceries."
Shen Bi was a little reluctant to leave. She was the only girl at home and was very bored. After all the effort, her cousin came over, but now she was driven away. It was so quick to kill the donkey. But she still obeyed and went out.
Qin Zhi cleared out a room, fetched well water and wiped the room inside and out several times, then disinfected the entire house with alcohol.
Only the young man walked around the old house, but later his intestinal abscess may have recurred, and he was sweating all over his face due to the pain. Finally, perhaps he could not bear it anymore, so he found a small chair to sit down.
"You have intestinal abscess," Qin Zhi said as he cleaned.
The young man was shocked for a moment, and then his mind was full of thoughts. How could this woman know about his illness?
Qin Zhi continued, "Wait until I have cleaned up this place and then I can perform surgery on you."
"Surgery, what is that?" It was the first time the boy heard the word "surgery".
"All you need to know is that I can heal you. When was the last time you ate?"
"My stomach has been aching these days, and I haven't eaten for two or three days," the young man covered his stomach with his hands, cold sweat breaking out on his head due to the pain.
"Okay, it's okay now. You lie down on this bed first, and I'll check you," Qin Zhi said as she directed the boy to lie down as she requested, and used her sleeves to cover herself as she took out a bottle of inhalation anesthetic from the space and let the boy inhale it.
The young man couldn't bear the pain and followed Qin Zhi's request unconsciously. After inhaling the anesthetic, he fell asleep unknowingly.
Qin Zhi took out the surgical instruments from the space, disinfected them, and skillfully performed an appendectomy on the teenager.
After the operation, he was given an IV drip, and after he finished the IV drip, Qin Zhi left the room and found a place to lie down to catch up on his sleep. Qin Zhi had been running all the way since he went up the mountain that day, and had not had a good rest. Now that he relaxed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Zhi didn't wake up until the next morning. Qin Zhi found that he had overslept, and hurried to the room to see the boy. Fortunately, he was still lying on the bed, just looking at Qin Zhi with a sad look.
"What did you do to me?" The boy looked unhappy.
"I've ripped your stomach and dug out your intestines," Qin Zhi rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"My stomach doesn't hurt as badly as before, but the wound still hurts a little. Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Knowing that you're hungry is a good thing. Have you farted since you woke up?"
The young man curled his lips in disdain, "How can you be so vulgar as a woman? You can even ask about farts."
Qin Zhi felt like she had rolled her eyes today. How could this person be so ungrateful? She said unhappily, "You can't eat if you don't breathe properly. You don't even have this common sense. Also, how do you know I'm a woman?"
The young man blushed and said, "I told you last night. I'm good at disguise myself. You can tell you're a woman."
It was not convenient to expose the old house now, and it was not possible to make a fire and cook in it. So Qin Zhi cooked a pot of millet porridge in the kitchen of the space and handed it to the boy.
The boy had been hungry for a few days, and he had just had surgery, so the pain from his appendix had disappeared, and his appetite was surprisingly good. However, Qin Zhi only let him drink one bowl, which made the boy very unhappy.
