Chapter 1305: Seasickness (5)
Yang Ruxin’s expression of reluctance lingered as the passenger ship smoothly departed from the dock and then moved westward along the river, which widened progressively. By the second day, they had entered the Dayuan River that runs north to south, and their speed picked up.
The river was wide, and from time to time, they could see other boats passing by, making it a lively scene.
However, tragedy struck as Dong Wenxiu began to show signs of motion sickness starting the second day.
"Miss, this is the medicine for motion sickness." Granny Ling took great care of Dong Wenxiu, even delegating all tasks to Yang Miao who had accompanied her, personally delivering meals to her room these past few days. She now brought over a freshly prepared herbal soup.
"Thank you, Granny Ling." Dong Wenxiu’s face was pale, but she drank the medicine without hesitation, only to sadly vomit it all back up immediately, including the little porridge she had managed to consume earlier.
"What are we going to do now?" Granny Ling’s eyes reddened with worry.
"Don’t worry, Granny, I feel much better after throwing up." Dong Wenxiu gave Ling Family’s Granny Ling an apologetic glance.
"If you still feel uncomfortable, Miss, we could travel by land at the next dock instead, adding just a few more days to our journey."
"Don’t worry, Granny Ling, I have a little home remedy here. If it doesn’t work, we can take a carriage." Yang Ruxin sliced some ginger and had Dong Wenxiu hold a slice in her mouth while placing another on her belly button, then pricked her Hegu acupoint with a silver needle.
Surprisingly, the effect was quite satisfactory, and she felt significantly better soon after.
"Miss Ruxin really has a way." Seeing Dong Wenxiu’s condition improving, Granny Ling’s face lit up with relief and joy.
Once Granny Ling left with others, Yang Ruxin’s gaze flickered, and she instructed Yang Miao to keep an eye on Dong Wenxiu, ensuring that she was consulted for any food or drink brought in.
