Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile Chapter 195: Western Medicine

Gu Kaiyuan and his group didn’t actually eat for long. After so casual chatting, they each left, knowing that Liu Pingkang and others also needed to rest, so they couldn’t disturb for too long.

Just a short while after Gu Kaiping left, Gu Kaiyuan and his group ca out.

Before reaching the ox cart, a guard talked to him about sothing the Gu Family was looking for him.

Gu Kaiyuan waved his hand with a smile, "Don’t bother with them. Next ti, please help fend them off."

The guard had heard so rumors, but it was the owner’s family affair, so they didn’t say much more; they knew the principle of doing right by those who pay them.

Gu Kaiyuan thought Bai Suihe should have been asleep by now, but to his surprise, she was sitting by the fire, waiting for him.

"Why haven’t you rested yet?"

Bai Suihe replied, "I slept too much during the day in the carriage, now I don’t feel sleepy at all."

Even though she is pregnant and sleeps more, it’s not like she can sleep all the ti.

Moreover, the carriage swayed with a rhythm during the day, causing her to unwittingly fall into short naps again and again, so she really wasn’t sleepy.

Gu Kaiyuan noticed the absence of Dongi and the others, and Bai Suihe, noticing his thoughts, said, "Dongi and the others have also had a tiring day. I let them rest. With so many people guarding around us, they can take it easy for once. If you’re tired, you should go get so sleep too."

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head, "Since you can’t sleep, I’ll keep you company for a while."

Bai Suihe glanced at the guard standing not far away, "Co with to the carriage to get so pastries."

Imdiately understanding her intention, Gu Kaiyuan supported Bai Suihe as they entered the carriage. Due to the cold weather, sleeping in the carriage was not as warm as sitting by the fire, thus the carriage remained vacant at night.

As soon as the curtain was closed, Bai Suihe swiftly took Gu Kaiyuan into the space.

The pleasant temperature and fruity aroma in the space made Bai Suihe take a deep, satisfying breath before heading into the courtyard.

She took a turn inside the house and finally found the dicine box on top of the kitchen cabinet.

"What’s this?" Gu Kaiyuan, although he frequently rested in the space, rarely ddled with its contents.

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

dicine? Gu Kaiyuan suddenly beca anxious, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Suihe wordlessly rolled her eyes. After spending this period together, she often felt that Gu Kaiyuan lacked a sense of security, especially when it ca to her and the baby, any little stir made him excessively nervous.

While she enjoyed soone constantly caring for her, it wasn’t exactly a good habit and must be changed.

"Don’t worry, I’m as strong as an ox right now; I’m not the type to mistreat myself.

It’s just after what happened yesterday, I rembered that while traditional dicine can treat illnesses, it works rather slowly."

At this point, Bai Suihe had already noticed the neatly arranged dications in the box, all being Western dicines including antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, anti-allergy drugs, and even alcohol.

"Are all of these dicines?" The space exuded a sense of rarity, with many items he had never seen or heard of before, not to ntion the strange-looking dicines.

"Can these really cure diseases?"

Bai Suihe casually picked up a box of anti-inflammatory dicine, and as if by magic, another box appeared to replace it.

Gu Kaiyuan blinked, doubting whether he had watched snow for too long, causing vision problems.

Bai Suihe picked up a box of antipyretic dicines nearby, which was also imdiately replaced...

"This is just wonderful," Bai Suihe, who had previously worried about having to ration the limited dicine for the long life ahead, felt relieved, as she couldn’t be sure she’d always be as strong as an ox.

With various viruses in the later tis, sotis even the whole dicine box might not be enough, but now having endless supplies was a comforting reassurance.

It’s important to note that in ancient tis, antibiotics were considered miracle dicines.

After her excitent, she rembered to answer Gu Kaiyuan’s question, "Of course, all these can treat illnesses.

Just look at the instructions outside, according to the symptoms..."

Gu Kaiyuan listened silently, but when he saw the text, he slightly twitched his mouth, "These words seem awkward, missing arms and limbs."

So words he could guess with so effort, but others were completely foreign to him.

Bai Suihe explained, "These are simplified characters from the later generation, a reform to make writing easier. If you can’t read them, it’s fine, just tell what you need, and I’ll help you find it."

At the mont, Bai Suihe really found it hard to explain or teach him to read simplified characters.

Moreover, learning simplified characters in ancient tis would be unwise, and using them in life would probably invite ridicule.

Gu Kaiyuan nodded, but his curiosity about the dicine prompted him to ask more.

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

Gu Kaiyuan remarked, "...This truly is convenient, it describes the symptoms so clearly, you don’t even need to see a doctor."

"But why do you call them Western dicine? How are they different from herbal dicine?"

Bai Suihe explained, "Western dicines are mostly chemically synthesized or biological preparations, very purpose-specific and can rapidly control symptoms; herbal dicine mainly uses natural materials with personalized prescriptions, but it also works rather slowly.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses, but these dicines should ideally be used only when absolutely necessary."

In ancient tis, there were quite a few brilliant herbalists; unless it was an ergency, there was no need to resort to Western dicine since herbal dicine could gradually restore the body to its best state.

Gu Kaiyuan asked, "So you’re saying these dicines, if taken too much, could be bad for the body?"

Bai Suihe replied, "Not exactly. For instance, if you suddenly have a high fever that won’t go down, herbal dicine might take longer to take effect, but don’t underestimate these Western dicines, just a small pill can resolve it within half an hour.

In life-threatening situations, a little side effect can be overlooked."

In a fast-paced life, sotis there really is no choice.

"That’s true, high fevers can be deadly, sotis leaving people impaired. However, it’s best not to take these dicines out, as currently, I can’t protect them."

Bai Suihe imdiately understood his concern, "I naturally know that, I was just previously scared by casualties. And there’s one more thing I forgot to ntion, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to save your mother."

Gu Kaiyuan, "...Are you saying that if this dicine were taken out, it might have saved my mother’s injury?"

Bai Suihe replied, "I can’t guarantee that, but it could have at least alleviated so of her pain, and prevented inflammation, thus quickening her recovery."

Gu Kaiyuan grasped Bai Suihe’s hand, "You don’t need to bla yourself, her situation, in truth, everyone knew what led to her demise was my father’s final blow."
