Chapter 348: A cold wind
After all, Xiuchen chose to delay for a day because Jiang Heyao's illness seemed to be getting worse.
Her forehead was a little hot, probably due to the cold wind. It was not a serious illness originally, but after running around for many days without rest, a small illness would turn into a serious illness.
There are also signs that the divine plague poison is about to attack. It seems that the fever has stimulated the activity of the divine plague poison.
For Jiang Heyao's safety, Xiuchen decided to stay for a day. Feng took them to find a lot of herbs and also took them to find a water source.
A day's rest here should make things a lot better.
Fortunately, this is the south, and the weather is hotter. If it were further north, it was winter in Dai Viet, and it would be freezing cold, so it might not directly kill her.
By a clear stream, Xiu Chen cooked a portion of typhoid medicine and boiled some hot water.
There is a magical universal folk remedy called: drink more hot water.
It has been proven for thousands of years that this method is indeed miraculous.
Jiang Heyao leaned against a big stone weakly. She felt a little cold. Even if there was a fire, she still felt a little cold.
I also have some headaches and dizziness, which is very uncomfortable.
Xiuchen carved a simple yet exquisite small bowl out of stone, took a bowl of hot water and handed it to Jiang Heyao's mouth.
"Come, drink some hot water and warm yourself up."
"Xiuchen, am I going to die?" Jiang Heyao asked.
"It's just a cold wind, it won't happen."
Xiuchen was helpless, this eldest lady probably had never been sick, but a cold wind could make her so scared.
There is no changeable weather in the dream world of the Dream Turtle, plus there is plenty of spiritual energy. These people deal with elixirs all the year round, and they cannot even think of ordinary ailments.
This wind and cold was also a rare experience for Jiang Heyao.
"Fenghan, I've only seen it in books, but I didn't expect it to feel like this. It's really bad."
Jiang Heyao felt lost for no reason. From the moment she arrived in the Imperial City, her life had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From the eldest lady to a prisoner, and then to a fugitive, she was hunted down by the entire clan. Many things she had never thought about happened to her one by one.
The cold was just a minor illness, but it brought back many memories for her.
Compared with the sufferings she had suffered before, the pain of wind and cold was really insignificant, but this illness made her stop. Once she stopped, she would start to think wildly.
Isn't the previous hard work just to numb myself?
"Xiuchen, I'm a little tired and don't want to run away anymore."
She finally said these very frustrating words.
Xiuchen can understand her thoughts. It is already very difficult for a little girl to persist until now.
"Then let's not run away. Let's go back now. I'll hand you over to your uncle. This will be good for everyone."
"You! What did you say!"
Jiang Heyao was a little shocked and a little angry. He didn't expect Xiuchen to say such words.
Xiuchen spread his hands and said:
"Look, in order to help you, I have become an enemy of the Quan Yi Tian Sect. If I don't hand you over, how can I gain a foothold in the Medical Tian Sect in the future?"
Yes, what Xiuchen said made sense. When Jiang Heyao thought about it, in order to help him, Xiuchen had involved himself in it.
My situation, to put it bluntly, means that I will die, but Xiuchen is a peerless genius, and he should have had a very bright and splendid life.
To be honest, Jiang Heyao felt worthless for Xiuchen.
But handing yourself over is a bit too ruthless! After all, we have been together for so long, so we should be considered friends after all!
"If you want to go back, do you have to hand me over? Can't you just leave me here to fend for myself?"
"Of course not. I guess your uncle hates me now. If I don't take you with me, wouldn't I be looking for death if I go back?"
"That...that..."
"Well, then drink some water, have a good rest, and set off as soon as you feel better. I'm with you, so what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Heyao huddled up timidly. With Xiuchen here, she really felt much more at ease.
If I had known that he was so kind, I really shouldn't have caused trouble to him before.
Seeing Jiang Heyao huddled up and hiding his face, Xiuchen was immediately unhappy. I brought you water, what do you mean?
"Do you want to drink this water?"
"Don't drink."
"If you don't drink, I'll throw it in your face!"
"I'll drink! Isn't it okay if I drink!"
Jiang Heyao was so angry. Xiuchen thought he was very nice just now. Why is he so inconsiderate all of a sudden now?
"Put the water down and I'll drink it myself."
Jiang Heyao raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of big eyes, staring at Xiuchen resentfully.
Xiu Chen understood what she had concerns about, so he put the stone bowl on the ground, then walked aside and turned around.
Her concern is that she doesn't want people to see her face.
If the scar on her face cannot be removed, she may never take off the veil in her life.
…
At night, the forest is quiet. Because we are far away from the tiger, there are more wild beasts in the forest.
This also means that Jiang Heyao can finally eat meat. He has been eating fruits for the past few days and has almost had enough.
Xiuchen caught a pheasant and prepared to roast it to replenish Jiang Heyao's health. At night, with a bonfire and roasted chicken, this scene felt inexplicably romantic.
Because of the strands of tiger hair, no wild animals dared to disturb them, and they seemed very quiet here.
The roasted chicken in front of the campfire gradually released its fragrance, and Xiu Chen sprinkled a handful of spices on it, making the roasted chicken very tempting.
"Xiuchen, is it ripe?"
"It's almost done, be careful not to burn it."
Xiuchen took off the roasted chicken from the bonfire and handed the whole roasted chicken to Jiang Heyao without leaving a piece for himself.
"Xiuchen, don't you want to eat?"
"I don't have to. You can eat it yourself. You can rest well after eating."
Jiang Heyao's high fever has subsided. Take a good rest tonight and she should be back to normal tomorrow. She is still a monk after all, and her physique is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
This is actually the first time Xiuchen has seen a monk suffering from colds, which is simply outrageous.
Pheasants are smaller than domestic chickens, so it didn’t take long for Jiang Heyao to finish the chicken.
I feel so satisfied, Xiuchen’s cooking is so good, I never get tired of eating it no matter how many times I eat it.
After eating, I feel good, feel good, and feel that the weather has improved.
"Xiuchen, the weather has been pretty good these days. It hasn't been windy or rainy."
Xiuchen shook his head and said:
"The wind is always there."
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the tree above, and the leaves rustled.
"Listen, the wind is always there. It's just that it feels sorry for you and doesn't blow towards you."
Jiang Heyao looked up and saw that the leaves on the tree were indeed shaking.
"The wind is really nice too."
"Yes, you should thank it more."
Jiang Heyao didn't know that it was supposed to rain these days, but high in the sky, the wind secretly blew away the dark clouds.
Feng didn't say it, but Xiuchen knew.
The wind has always been so considerate.
