Vol 10 Chapter 4 (2/2)
“Yuan Zhi.” I called out and I knelt down beside her. I do not know what happened but I am beginning to panic seeing Yuan Zhi like this, “Yuan Zhi, what happened to you? And what happened in the room just now?”
“Ah… Un!” Yuan Zhi seemed to relax for a moment but when her head moved, she frowned and groaned in pain again.
“What happened?”
“… My head hurts.” Yuan Zhi said as she rubbed her temple.
…
Her head hurts?
“Ah…” I immediately calmed down and asked, “Do you feel like the world is swirling about you?”
Yuan Zhi nodded.
“… I see.”
What the heck! She’s just having a hangover! I yelled inside. Naturally, I did not actually yell out and merely sighed. I should have guessed it. There’s no way she’s feeling well after drinking so much. But why is her hangover so delayed? It’s been a few days since she has drunk after all. Is it because she was unconscious?
But why is the room so messy…
“Water…” She moaned as she pointed at me.
Naturally, I knew she was not pointing at me but behind me and scooted over before looking around and found that she was pointing at the gourd on the floor. Ah, so that’s what happened huh?
“So Yuan Zhi woke up with a terrible headache and tried to get up and get her gourd. But she was shaky on her feet and fell over, knocking over the stuff on the table.”
“…” Yuan Zhi nodded wordlessly.
“Hu.” I sighed and felt relieved as I went to pick up the gourd, not forgetting to check that it was actually water and not liquor before handing it to her, “Here, Yuan Zhi, get up and drink.”
I held her back and helped her up before biting off the cap and bringing the gourd to her mouth.
*Gudu*… *Gudu*…
As I tilted the gourd, Yuan Zhi drank and continued drinking for a long while, finis.h.i.+ng most of the gourd’s contents before she stopped.
“Haa…” She sighed as she moved away from the gourd, looking better than before.
“How do you feel now?”
“Better.” Yuan Zhi replied as she nodded, “This medicinal liquid is rather effective.”
“Un? Medicinal liquid?” I was surprised and took a whiff from the mouth of the gourd and the faint smell of herbs entered my nostrils, “This is?”
“Lord Hua Tuo gave me this.” Yuan Zhi said, “I woke up this morning when Lord Hua Tuo was changing my clothes for me. When I told her that my head hurt, she brought me this gourd which she said contained hangover medication and told me to drink some whenever my head hurt.”
‘Some’? You just drank almost the entire gourd?
But I have to say that I did not expect Hua Tuo would know how to make something like this. If I know the recipe, can I manufacture it when I return to my era and make big bucks?
