Another half hour passed, and the heavy snow showed no intention of stopping, and the wind even started to pick up.

The cow and horse shed next to the official road is simple and has only one shed roof and no shelter around it.

When the cold wind blew like this, not only was the cold wind whistling, but heavy snow was also blown into the shed, falling on everyone and melting, soaking their clothes.

As a result, the refugees' hands and feet were cold from the cold, their lips turned purple, their teeth chattered, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Jiang Guoguo was not much better on her end. Those who hid in the carriage were fine. For example, Zizhen Ziyu, several cousins, and the eldest and second uncle could not squeeze into the carriage, even with the money Jiang Guoguo had given them earlier.

Warmers and gloves could not withstand the attack of the wind and snow. After a while, they were shivering in place with the cold.

Everyone was fleeing, and the expenses could be kept as little as possible, so not many people thought of buying a raincoat.

Jiang Guoguo opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look. She was afraid that the heavy snow would not stop for a while, so she called Hua Xin and others, drove the carriage away again, and formed a circle in the shed so that they could not get in.

Cousin of the carriage, they have a safe haven.

With the carriage blocking the wind and snow, the situation of Zizhen and the others has improved a lot.

Jiang Guoguo saw that it was indeed effective, so he simply asked them to set up a fire in the middle.

The temperature in this small space quickly rose, and everyone in the carriage came outside to warm themselves by the fire.

The nearby sheds seemed to sense something, and cast envious glances at Jiang Guoguo.

However, most of the fleeing teams at this time were not as large as Jiang Guoguo and others, with only a dozen or so people at most. Naturally, they did not dare to come up to fight for anything. They could only huddle in their respective sheds and wait for the heavy snow to pass.

It snowed heavily for four or five hours, and it didn't stop until it was almost dark.

Everyone walked out of the shed one after another and were stunned by the sight in front of them.

I saw that the official road, which was originally a bleak place with withered vegetation, was now covered in silver, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated in every place.

The temperature is probably several degrees below zero right now, and the snow on the ground will not melt away easily.

If the snow on the ground is trampled firmly, over time, the ground will become as if it is frozen. Not only will people slip when walking, but horses will also be unable to walk normally.

Jiang Guoguo had already thought of this. After telling her grandma, several ingenious women in the family immediately made foot mats for the horses in the family.

After being wrapped around the horse's hooves, it can not only protect the horse from freezing, but also prevent it from slipping when walking in the ice and snow.

It's just that the sky is getting dark now. In the vast wilderness, the official road extends to the horizon. I don't know how far away it is. There is no place to rest around.

So after some discussion, Jiang Guoguo and the others decided to spend the night in the cowshed and set off again tomorrow morning.

At night, just as everyone was preparing to rest, a burst of crying suddenly came from not far away, which alerted other refugees around them. Jiang Guoguo and the others were also attracted by the sound and got up to check the situation.

Song Ke had already inquired about the situation and returned to the bullpen, saying:

"Oh no, there are several children over there who must have caught the cold and are already a little unconscious."

Hua Xin, who went out to check the situation, also came back and shook her head at Jiang Guoguo.

"There are also many refugees in the sheds over there who are in the same situation. They may have been injured by the sudden snowstorm.

"

When Jiang Guoguo heard this, she had another thought in her heart.

She quickly led her old apprentice towards those sheds.

In order to avoid chaos and someone taking the opportunity to attack, Jiang Guoguo let Hua Xin stay and asked Hua Yue to take her, her old apprentice and Song Ke there.

When we arrived at a shed, there were indeed three or two adults holding their children and crying there.

The child in one of the women's arms was already suffering from a high fever and could not be woken up no matter how she screamed. His lips were cyanotic and he was in critical condition.

But the woman only heard that she had to drink more water if she caught the cold, so she kept pouring soup into the child's mouth.

Jiang Guoguo saw that it was dirty water made from melted snow, and quickly stepped forward to stop it.

"Auntie, don't feed your children this kind of water anymore. It's not clean and will make them more susceptible to infection after drinking it."

When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that she took off the water bowl. When she raised her eyes, she saw that it was a baby girl no bigger than her own baby. She was stunned.

But in a blink of an eye, she saw the medicine box in Song Ke's hand, and as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she knelt on the ground with a pop towards Jiang Guoguo and the others.

"Please, save my child, save him!"

Jiang Guoguo saw that the movement here quickly spread to other sheds, and people with sick people at home rushed over and knelt down in front of them.

Jiang Guoguo didn't expect this situation.

She originally planned to report the situation first, and it was okay if one or two of them were sick. But now after asking about it, almost every family here has the disease, which had to make Jiang Guoguo pay attention, in case it was an infectious disease like the plague.

, she must take measures.

Without thinking much, Jiang Guoguo squatted down, reached out and touched the child's wrist, and began to feel the pulse.

When the woman saw it, she saw that it was a girl about five years old who had come to see her child. She was stunned and wanted to pull the child's hand back. It was obvious that Jiang Guoguo's expression was so serious, and she stopped.

hand.

After some investigation, Jiang Guoguo did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, she moved to some other sick people and felt their veins one by one. After confirming that it was just an ordinary cold caused by cold, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Wanli was also very anxious. Seeing that the young master was free, he quickly went up to inquire about the situation.

"Ordinary wind-cold, old apprentice, you and Song Ke will get them some medicine to dispel wind-cold and let them drink it. I'll go back first."

Wang Wanli did not dare to neglect, and immediately took Song Ke to work in various sheds.

The refugees were given medicinal herbs and were extremely grateful.

They are not stupid either. What happened just now was clearly that the about five-year-old girl was treating them, and the two people distributing medicine seemed to be following the girl's instructions.

So from time to time, someone would run up to the shed where Jiang Guoguo was, bow inside, and say thank you.

Although Jiang Guoguo had no expression, she still felt comfortable.

After practicing medicine for so long, she has never expected anyone else's gratitude. In other words, her purpose in practicing medicine is not to gain gratitude from these people.

But she was still very happy to be respected and thanked by others.

Grandma and mother knew that Jiang Guoguo had done her part this time, and they felt proud of her.

Although they were strangers to each other, but they met on the road to escape, and there were no big grudges, Jiang Guoguo would naturally lend a hand to help.

On the second day, the refugees began to leave one after another.

But before leaving, they would linger outside Jiang Guoguo's cowshed for a while, then leave something behind and turn around to leave.

When Jiang Guoguo and the others were packed up and ready to set off, they discovered that some food had already been piled in the snowdrift outside the cowshed.

Some people left some copper coins, while others left some rice, noodles, or dry biscuits.

Although the things everyone gave were not very valuable, Jiang Guoguo felt warm in her heart to receive such a grateful gift.

It seems that there are still many good people in the world. Although you have to be wary of villains on the way to escape, there are also some people with conscience among them.

Therefore, Jiang Guoguo made a decision. If she encountered difficulties among the refugees on the way down the road, she was not going to turn a blind eye and ignore the matter.

If you can be sure that the other party is not a greedy and evil person, then help if you can.

Think of it as forming a good relationship and doing good deeds for yourself and your family.
