Chapter 202: Tanxie
When the curtain of the third tent was opened, a pungent smell immediately rushed out. The tent was elegantly furnished, with a brass round-bellied charcoal stove in the middle. The oak charcoal in the stove was burning vigorously... Chu Xiaomu knew something was wrong, so he held his breath and ran in.
It was almost evening, but Jinglan was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her long eyelashes covering her eyelids. She seemed to be still sleeping soundly. Her originally fair and beautiful face looked like a piece of gold paper, revealing a strange look.
Chu Xiaomu didn't have time to think about it. He lifted the quilt covering her, picked her up and rushed out of the tent.
Yuan Fu had followed in earlier. When he smelled the pungent odor in the tent, he knew something big had happened. He stood there stupidly for a while, not knowing what to do, and he didn't dare to stop Chu Xiaomu anymore.
Yingdan followed closely behind Chu Xiaomu and said to Yuan Fu, "Come out and help!"
Chu Xiaomu carried Jinglan and ran wildly until he reached a place with good ventilation near the martial arts training ground in the camp. He stopped and checked her breath, but she was already dead. He touched her chest again, and it took a long time before he could feel a heartbeat, but it was very weak and seemed like it could stop at any time.
He glanced and saw Yuan Fu still standing there stupidly. His originally liver-red face had turned pale with fear. He shouted, "Go and invite Zhou Zhongjun!"
Some soldiers who had not gone out saw Chu Xiaomu running out holding the daughter of the central army, and they surrounded him and asked him questions, but Chu Xiaomu just didn't answer.
The ground was dry, hard and cold, and it was not a good look to hug like this for a long time, so Chu Xiaomu asked Yingdan to take over and take off her military robe and spread it on the ground. The soldiers watching saw this and took off their outer robes and spread them on the ground, which instantly became a thick cushion. Chu Xiaomu and Yingdan worked together to help Jinglan lie down on it.
Not long after, Xiao Zhenrong arrived on horseback. Seeing Jinglan lying motionless on her military robe, he looked extremely serious and asked in a stern voice, "What did you do to Jinglan? What happened?!"
Seeing that he was getting angry at himself and Yingdan without any reason, Chu Xiaomu felt angry and deliberately did not answer.
Yingdan said: "Reporting to Deputy Commander Xiao, Miss Jinglan must have been possessed by the charcoal evil, so we brought her to this transparent place." He looked weak and was not afraid at all when facing the furious Xiao Zhenrong.
After Xiao Zhenrong received the news from Yuan Fu, he roughly guessed that Jinglan was possessed by the charcoal evil because the charcoal fire burned too strongly, so he stopped talking, dismounted and walked to Jinglan's side, felt her pulse, then took a deep breath, and stretched out his left palm in the Yin position, three or four inches away from Tanzhong, and mobilized the Force to press and knead her internal organs and lung meridians through the air.
Xiao Zhenrong had some knowledge of medicine and knew that after being infected by the charcoal evil, the lung meridians were damaged and she couldn't breathe. Therefore, he mobilized the Force to roll back and forth on both sides of Jinglan's lung meridians, hoping that she could recover her breath.
Everyone around held their breath, not wanting to see anything happen to this gentle and beautiful girl.
A burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came closer, and when they were still about 20 feet away from the crowd, a man on horseback flew into the crowd and shouted, "Lan Lan... What happened to Lan Lan?" His voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was too excited and worried. It was the central army commander Zhou Bo who came back.
He saw Xiao Zhenrong using the Force to revive Jinglan, and he felt a little relieved. Then he saw the soldiers watching and talking among themselves, and he shouted sternly: "Go back to your tents, otherwise I will punish you with my own law!" When they saw him, they dispersed without saying a word as if they had seen a ferocious tiger.
Seeing that Chu Xiaomu and Yingdan still didn't leave, Zhou Bo angrily said, "Are you two deaf? Why don't you get out of here right now?!"
Xiao Zhenrong hurriedly said: "General, Jinglan was rescued by the two of them..." Zhou Bu then fell silent.
Seeing beads of sweat on Xiao Zhenrong's forehead, Zhou Bu couldn't help but ask, "Zhenrong, Lanlan...Lanlan, how...is she?"
Xiao Zhenrong said: "I am helping her to breathe more energy, I can't stop for a moment, I'm afraid if I stop...ah..."
Zhou Bo naturally understood what he meant. Lan Lan was already on the verge of death. Xiao Zhenrong barely kept her alive with the flexible Force. Once the Force was removed, Jing Lan would not be able to continue breathing, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But who in this world has an inexhaustible force? Zhou Bo didn't dare to think further.
His originally dark red face gradually turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...you...get out of the way, let me...let me do it..."
Xiao Zhenrong said, "Third brother, your force is too strong. I'm afraid Lanlan can't bear it. Let me do it. I understand."
Zhou Bo thought so too, and stopped talking. Although Xiao Zhenrong was always reliable, he was not good at curing illnesses and saving lives. Unfortunately, there was no medical officer in the barracks, and the best doctor he could find was the deputy commander in front of him. Alas... Lanlan... How could Lanlan be possessed by the charcoal evil? Zhou Bo was anxiously circling around Jinglan and Xiao Zhenrong, wishing he could lie there in exchange for Lanlan to wake up.
However, Xiao Zhenrong's brows became more and more furrowed, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
Jinglan was still lying on the ground, her face still golden purple, with no sign of improvement. It was either life or death, and the situation was even more critical.
Chu Xiaomu saw Jinglan, whose face was as pale as gold paper, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did Tan Xie injure his lungs?"
Zhou Bu and Xiao Zhenrong were both focused on Jinglan and ignored him completely.
Yingdan said: "It is said that charcoal evil can damage the internal organs, even the brain stem and heart meridians, but the main root is in the lungs."
Chu Xiaomu did not report to Zhou and Xiao, but ran towards his own tent, shouting, "I'll be back soon!" which left Yingdan confused.
He was very fast, and the camp was not far from the martial arts training ground. He ran back in a short while and said to Yuan Fu, "Go and get half a bowl of warm water. The sooner the better."
Yuan Fu was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Bo angrily said, "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you nagging?!"
Yuan Fu was so shocked that he dared not say anything and left in a hurry.
Chu Xiaomu held a small dark blue cloth package in his hand. After carefully opening it, a brilliant golden object was revealed. It was a golden bird's nest picked from the east cliff of Baihua Island.
A total of four flowers were picked at that time. Two were used to save Bai Yixing, one was given to Huai Fucao, and the remaining one was kept by Chu Xiaomu in the rag bag he usually used. Unexpectedly, he brought it all the way to Nan Dingjun in Bicheng.
Zhou Bo looked at the small golden bird's nest in Chu Xiaomu's hand, but he didn't recognize it. He asked, "What is this thing that can drive away the evil spirit?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "Report to the Central Army, this is called Golden Bird's Nest, it is a magical medicine for treating lung injuries and lung diseases. I think... I think if the charcoal evil hurts the lungs, it should be able to be driven away."
