First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 38: Suffering

Qu Wanning was heartbroken when she learned that Su Jixiang had frostbite on his hands.

"You gave all the frostbite cream to other people. Now that you're well, it's useless if you get frostbite yourself." Qu Wanning scolded her.

"Isn't this an accident?" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"I'll go ask my father if he has any more plasters." Qu Wanning saw Su Jixiang wiping his hands with ginger, "Be careful not to break the skin!"

"I know." Su Jixiang said. She was also afraid of breaking the skin.

"The most important thing now is to keep warm!" Qu Wanning looked at the leather piled in the carriage, "Never mind, I'll make you a pair of gloves first."

"Goodbye, everyone is still cold! Let me make clothes for everyone first!" Su Jixiang felt a little sorry.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get so many furs!" Qu Wanning said, "You come first! If anyone has any objections, go get them yourself!" After saying that, she looked around, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone naturally had no objection. During the journey, everyone was taken care of by Su Jixiang. She gave everyone frostbite cream for free and often went to help in the kitchen with Xu Touer. As long as she helped in the kitchen, everyone's food would be improved. Besides, all these furs were really obtained by Su Jixiang with the help of Xu Touer. At present, she was probably the only one who had this face.

They are not selfish. They don't get the money just to make clothes for themselves to keep warm. They are thinking about everyone.

Even though Feicui and Bihe felt unhappy, they kept their mouths shut, after all, the other person was short-handed.

"Then let's decide it this way for now!" Qu Wanning saw that no one had any objections. Zhao Xiuwan wanted to say something, but seeing this situation, she held back. She just snorted and turned back to her carriage, wrapped in a thick cloak and sulked.

Li Yuzhu moved closer to Zhao Xiuwan and said, "They are the core of these people now. Let's just keep everything to ourselves."

"That's because you're stupid!" Zhao Xiuwan was furious at Li Yuzhu, "If you knew how to win people's hearts, wouldn't everyone be following you now?"

Li Yuzhu was stunned, and then she was so angry that she wanted to leave. But when she thought that she still had to rely on Zhao Xiuwan for warmth, she had to swallow her anger.

The vest on Qu Wanning was too small, only enough for her to wear, and she refused to share it with herself. Li Yuzhu was also unable to bear the cold, so she went to Chu Feng to show off once. She didn't have the courage to show off a second time.

Zhao Xiuwan's cloak was big enough for both of them to crawl under, and it would be even warmer for them to lean against it.

"You're right." Li Yuzhu smiled, "It's all my fault."

Zhao Xiuwan was satisfied to see that Li Yuzhu was still very flattering to her. "Come over and warm up." She generously lifted the corner of her cloak to let Li Yuzhu in.

Li Yuzhu leaned against Zhao Xiuwan's side, and only then did she feel a little warm. She couldn't help but want to cry. What kind of life was she living?

Qu Wanning had been making gloves for Su Jixiang all the way, and by noon he had finished a pair of gloves.

When she stopped the car for repairs, she got out and handed the gloves to Su Jixiang.

Before she reached Su Jixiang's carriage, Chu Feng called her, "Miss Qu."

"What's the matter, Captain Chu?" Qu Wanning bowed.

"Oh, I have a bottle of frostbite cream here. I don't get frostbite, so why not give it to you first. Your father and brother take care of me a lot. The weather is getting colder, you should be able to use it." Chu Feng took out a box and handed it to Qu Wanning.

Qu Wanning was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Thank you, Captain Chu." She did not refuse and directly took the frostbite cream. Su Jixiang especially needed this now!

She went to Su Jixiang's carriage and saw Su Jixiang slapping his hands with a grimace.

"What's wrong?" She quickly pulled Su Jixiang's hand over.

The back of my hands were slapped red by her.

"It's itchy, but I dare not scratch it, so I can only pat it like this!" Su Jixiang gritted her teeth. This was the first time she had this thing in her two lifetimes. It was so uncomfortable!

It itches when it’s cold and hurts when it’s hot...it’s such a torture!

"Captain Chu just gave me a box of frostbite cream." Qu Wanning said, "I'll give it to you first." After saying that, Qu Wanning turned around and got some hot water for Su Jixiang to soak his hands.

After soaking my hands in hot water, the frostbitten area quickly became red and swollen, the skin seemed to turn purple, and my fingers also swelled like carrots.

Su Jixiang grimaced again while soaking in the bath. It was painful and itchy. It was so sour and painful!

Qu Wanning wiped Su Jixiang's hands dry, then took out frostbite cream and applied it to her, and then quickly put on her the rabbit fur gloves she had made.

She covered the outside with a layer of cloth, and the inside of the gloves were made of rabbit fur. When she put her hands in them, they felt warm and soft, so comfortable.

Su Jixiang closed his eyes in enjoyment, "Oh, now I feel like a human being..."

"You!" Qu Wanning was amused by Su Jixiang's exaggerated expression, "As long as you're warm, I'll go back first. Don't touch water or cold things anymore! I'll get you a pair of socks to prevent your feet from getting frozen."

"I'll leave this frostbite cream with you for now. Keep it for yourself." Qu Wanning first kept the frostbite cream, but then thought, "No, you're too generous. You give it to others when they ask you for it. Why don't you leave it with me first? I'll give it to others when you get better."

"Let's all share it." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "It's not that I'm generous, but the fewer people who get frostbitten, the better."

"Okay, okay, compared to what you have done, I seem stingy. Tell them that whoever needs it can come to me." Qu Wanning hit Su Jixiang, put away the frostbite cream, and returned to his carriage.

Su Jixiang's hands were now warm, and the itching symptoms were relieved a lot after applying the medicine. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

At the same time, Xie Yingfeng shook off the snow on his hood and sighed, "It seems that I won't be able to eat delicious food recently. I can only eat the pig food made by Xu Touer!"

Wei Ling also shook off the snow on his body. He and Xie Yingfeng were patrolling in different directions.

"There should be a snowstorm this afternoon. Let's camp here first and leave after the snow stops." Wei Ling said. "This place is relatively sheltered from the wind."

"Okay. I'll give the order right away." Xie Yingfeng said.

"What do you mean by not being able to eat delicious food?" Wei Ling asked casually while tidying up his armor when Xie Yingfeng came back again.

"I just went to the Black Tiger Guard to patrol the camp, and heard from Chen Hai that Miss Su's hands had frostbite." Xie Yingfeng said.
