Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 195. Western Medicine
Gu Kaiyuan and the others didn't eat for very long. After chatting for a few minutes, they left. After all, Liu Pingkang and the others also needed to rest, and they couldn't disturb them for too long.

Just a moment later, Gu Kaiping left and Gu Kaiyuan and the others came out.

Before he even reached the oxcart, a bodyguard told him about the matter that the Gu family had come to see him.

Gu Kaiyuan waved his hand with a smile, "Don't worry about them. Next time, I'll trouble you brothers to stop them for me."

The bodyguards had heard some gossip, but it was their employer's business, so they didn't say much. They understood the principle of doing things for whoever paid them.

Gu Kaiyuan thought Bai Suihe must be asleep by now, but he didn't expect her to be sitting by the fire waiting for him.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

Bai Suihe said, "I slept too long in the car during the day and I'm not sleepy at all now."

Even if she is pregnant and needs more sleep, she can't sleep all the time.

Moreover, the car was swaying during the day, and I unknowingly took several naps, but I really wasn't sleepy.

Gu Kaiyuan turned around but didn't see Dongmei and the others. Bai Suihe knew what he was thinking and said, "Dongmei and the others have worked hard all day. I told them to go and rest. There are so many people guarding around here, they can relax a bit. If you're tired, you should go to sleep too."

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head. "If you can't sleep, I'll sit with you for a while."

Bai Suihe looked at the bodyguard standing guard not far away and said, "Come with me to the carriage to get some pastries."

Gu Kaiyuan immediately understood what she wanted to do. He helped Bai Suihe back to the carriage. Because it was too cold, sleeping in the carriage was not as warm as sitting next to the fire, so the carriage was empty at night.

As soon as she closed the curtain, Bai Suihe flashed into the space with Gu Kaiyuan.

The pleasant temperature and the aroma of fruit made Bai Suihe take a deep breath before immediately entering the courtyard.

She walked around the house and finally found the medicine box on the kitchen cabinet.

"What is this?" Although Gu Kaiyuan often rested in the space, he rarely rummaged through the things inside.

Bai Suihe placed the medicine box on the table and immediately opened it impatiently, "I want to see what medicine is inside."

Medicine? Gu Kaiyuan immediately became anxious. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Suihe rolled her eyes speechlessly. After spending this time together, she always felt that Gu Kaiyuan lacked a sense of security, especially when facing her and the baby. He would become extremely nervous at the slightest disturbance.

While it's nice to have someone always thinking about you, it's not a good habit and you have to change it.

"Don't worry, I'm as strong as an ox now. I'm not the kind of person who would compromise myself."

After what happened yesterday, I remembered that traditional Chinese medicine can treat illnesses, but the treatment is relatively slow.

Bai Suihe had already seen the neatly arranged medicines in the medicine box, all of them Western medicines, including antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibacterial drugs, and anti-allergy drugs, and even alcohol.

"Are these all medicines?" This space was full of strange things, and he had never heard of many of them before, let alone these strangely shaped medicines.

"Can these cure diseases?"

Bai Suihe casually picked up a box of anti-inflammatory medicine, and then, a miraculous scene occurred: another box of anti-inflammatory medicine was placed in the same spot where she had just taken out.

Gu Kaiyuan blinked, wondering if his eyesight was deteriorating from staring at the snow for too long. Bai Suihe grabbed the fever reducer from the side and immediately took it too…

"This is wonderful!" Bai Suihe had been worried that with so little medicine, they would have to use it sparingly. After all, life is long, and no one could be sure that they would be as healthy as an ox as she claimed.

In later generations, various viruses could sometimes cause illness, and even a whole medicine box might not be enough. Now, however, the medicine is inexhaustible, which is like giving her peace of mind.

In ancient times, antibiotics were considered miracle drugs.

After the excitement subsided, he remembered to answer Gu Kaiyuan's question, "Of course, these can all cure diseases."

Look, it's all explained outside, based on what symptoms..."

Gu Kaiyuan listened quietly from the side, but when he saw the words on it, his lips twitched slightly. "These words are missing parts, and they look a bit awkward."

He could guess some of the words, but there were some he really couldn't understand.

Bai Suihe said, "These are simplified characters from later generations. If you can't understand them, that's okay. Just tell me what you want and I'll help you find it."

Bai Suihe really couldn't explain it to him clearly or teach him how to recognize simplified characters.

Moreover, learning simplified characters in ancient times was not an option; if you used them in daily life, you would definitely be laughed at by others.

Gu Kaiyuan nodded, but he was also very curious about these medicines, so he began to ask about them one by one.

Bai Suihe picked up each box and read the instructions aloud to him.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "...This is really convenient. It describes the symptoms so clearly, so you don't even need to see a doctor."

"But why do you call it Western medicine? What's the difference between it and herbal medicine?"

Bai Suihe said, "Western medicines are mostly chemically synthesized or biological agents, which are highly targeted and can quickly control symptoms; Chinese medicines are mainly based on natural medicinal materials, and the prescriptions vary depending on the individual, but they are slower to take effect."

Each has its strengths and weaknesses, but we shouldn't use these medicines unless absolutely necessary.

In ancient times, there were many skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Unless it was an acute illness, there was no need to use Western medicine at all. Traditional Chinese medicine could be used to gradually regulate the body to its optimal state.

Gu Kaiyuan, "You mean taking too much of these medicines will be bad for your health?"

Bai Suihe: "That's not quite right. For example, if someone suddenly develops a high fever that won't go down, traditional Chinese medicine will definitely be slower to work. But don't underestimate this Western medicine. Just this small pill can solve the problem in less than half an hour."

When life is threatened, even a minor side effect becomes negligible.

In today's fast-paced life, sometimes you simply don't have a choice.

"That's true. High fever can be fatal, and sometimes it can even make people stupid or damaged. But try not to take these medicines out. With my current abilities, I can't protect them."

Bai Suihe immediately understood what he was worried about. "Of course I know all that. I was just frightened by the previous casualties. There's something else I really forgot. It's not that I didn't want to save your mother."

Gu Kaiyuan, "...You mean if this medicine were taken out, someone like my mother could avoid dying from her injuries?"

Bai Suihe: "I can't guarantee that, but at least it can help alleviate some of her pain, and the wounds won't get infected and will heal faster."

Gu Kaiyuan held Bai Suihe's hand and said, "You don't need to blame yourself. Everyone knows about her situation. What really killed him was my father's last kick."
