Chapter 260 Li has a cold and a fever
"Naughty boy!" Dan Zimo and his group were taking a break at a roadside tea stall. They would blame Li at a glance, "Look, your ears are almost frozen off!"
Shan Zimo's light palm almost froze Li! Not only did the sweat on her body freeze into ice beads, but even her wet clothes were frozen hard!
After the ice melted, Li shivered, had a runny nose, sneezed, and touched his red and hot ears, not daring to make a sound.
Passing by a tea stall, everyone got off the carriage to rest and fed the horses with grass and water.
Keli seemed to be shaking even more! His clever eyes became blurry at this moment, and his breathing became rapid due to a blocked nose. He curled up on a low wooden bench.
Shan Zimo reached out and touched his forehead. "It's so hot! You have a fever!"
Hearing this, Yi Yanhui quickly stood up and walked to Li, bent down and touched his forehead, "Febrile disease! But there is no doctor right now!" Yi Yanhui scratched his head anxiously.
"Master, don't worry!" Yuwen Lin comforted, "Jianyun, go get the medicine box from the carriage. We have medicine ready, so Master, don't worry!"
Jian Yun hurriedly took the medicine box from the carriage in the backyard, dug out a precious pill and gave it to Li to take. He and Shan Boyu put two tea tables together and laid Li down on them.
Li soon fell into a deep sleep.
"We have to find a town, even a village, and ask a doctor to check on Li." Yuwen Lin looked at Li, who used to jump up and down, with heartache, but now had his eyes closed and was motionless.
He would hurriedly take out the map of mountains and rivers and say, "Li has been with me since he was a child and has never had any illness. I actually forgot that he was also a little kid." Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, dripped onto the map of mountains and rivers, and then wiped them away clumsily.
Shan Zimo put one hand on Yijianhui's shoulder, squatted down, and said with a very reassuring expression, "Master, this is just a common cold, not a viral one, it will get better soon!"
Everyone looked at Shan Zimo in confusion, and Shan Boyu quickly came to the rescue.
"Young Master means that this is just a simple typhoid fever and Li will recover soon!" Shan Boyu let out a long sigh and touched the sweat on his forehead.
There was a small village eighty miles away. No one dared to delay for a moment and drove their carriages towards the village.
"Not bad!" Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu kept pace with each other, "You actually understand what I said!"
Shan Boyu sighed softly, "Young Master's habit of talking nonsense has been going on for a long time. I have been with you since I was a child, so I can guess what he is thinking!"
After eighty miles, it was already dark, but they still hadn't reached the village on the map of mountains and rivers.
What’s worse, everyone lost their way on the intricate trails!
As everyone was pacing around, at a loss as to what to do, a few flames illuminated the dark night.
Shan Zimo and his group immediately became alert.
"Who is coming?" The firelight reflected a man's dark face, looking very fierce.
"We are just passing by here, but we can't see the road clearly at night and we are lost. Please show us the way, brother!" Jianyun walked in front of the crowd and blocked the man.
"How dare you lose your way and break into my territory!" A woman walked up from behind the man with the same ferocious look on her face.
After saying that, several people took out their weapons and pointed their swords at each other.
Shan Zimo jumped off the horse, raised his hands, and walked to Jianyun with a grin on his face.
"Don't get me wrong, my dear friends!" Shan Zimo's harmless appearance made the people who were just on the verge of a fight relax a little. "We are really passing by here, but my little brother caught a cold and is now unconscious. Please be kind and wait for us to go to your village and check on my brother."
There was a deep pleading flash in Dan Zimo's eyes, which moved the women in the crowd opposite!
"Let me see. If you dare to lie, you won't be able to leave here alive!" The woman wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by a fierce man beside her.
"I'll do it!" The man walked to the front of the carriage, opened the curtain and got in. Seeing the unconscious Li, he stretched out his hand tentatively and then jumped out of the carriage.
The man returned to his own team, and several of them lowered their heads to discuss, using their unique language, chattering.
Shan Zimo and others could only wait for the final result with sincere smiles on their faces.
"You can save him," the man said coldly, "but you have to hand over your weapons, and all the men have their hands tied!"
Just when Yuwenlin was about to step forward to argue, he was pulled back by Shan Zimo, who consciously stretched out his hands in front of him.
"Okay, I'll do as this big brother asks and tie me up first!"
Everything was ready, and everyone led Shan Zimo and his group through the dense woods. Finally, a uniquely shaped village appeared under the cover of the dense forest.
The whole village is built along a river, with a steep cliff behind it. The houses in the village are all attics built of bamboo, with roofs made of layers of bamboo strips, and spacious platforms and corridors around the attics. The bottom of the attics is raised so that the animals living below can be seen.
"High priest, you're back." The villagers guarding the village entrance saluted the fierce man.
"Please ask Doctor Ayunshan to go to the lobby. There is a patient who needs his treatment." The man called the high priest patted him on the shoulder affectionately and instructed.
"As for the others, lock them up in the attic next to the ancestral hall first," the man looked at Shan Zimo and the others with a terrifying expression, "If you dare to cause trouble, don't forget that this little brother is still in our hands!"
After saying these harsh words, he picked up the unconscious Li and walked towards the main attic of the village.
Others were taken to an attic and locked up.
Shan Zimo carefully observed the structure of the attic and couldn't help but admire it.
The roof is made of bamboo strips, which is rainproof and breathable. The moonlight shines through the sparse bamboo leaves and falls on the floor. The floor and walls are both made of woven bamboo and are very breathable!
The damp and hot feeling that everyone had felt disappeared completely in this attic.
"It's true that the land and water shape the people!" Yi Yanhui was also checking the bamboo attic and nodding frequently.
"Nothing will happen if I hand Li over to them, right?" Dao Sheng was a little worried. Especially after her knife was taken away, she felt very insecure.
"This is the best way we can treat Li right now!" Yijian clenched his hands.
"That's right!" Shan Zimo comforted him, "Li only has common typhoid fever. If it's an internal injury, we can try to treat him. It's better to find a professional doctor for this kind of disease!"
"Azhuona," a pleasant voice came, "I heard that you brought a team back?"
"Replying to Alanru, that's right!" The high priest Azhuona knelt down and bowed to the woman who was approaching.
The woman named Alanru stepped forward to help Azhuona up and said, "I've told you so many times not to perform such a grand ceremony again!"
Azhuona stood up and took two steps back. "Although the chief is gone, as his only daughter, you should be respected by all the tribe members just like chief Ajiangli!"
