Chapter 4: Reunion

"Hard thing", Xia Shuanghan had this thought circling in her mind, and despite the pain of being burned on the left side of her face, she finally rushed outside the teahouse with Liu Mingzhu in her arms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Miss Xia, are you alright?" In the firelight in the sky, in the bustling crowd, the heroic man who came on a horse appeared like a hero, but Xia Shuanghan blurred his vision again when he saw the man's handsome face - Lu Shaoyun, whether in life or after death, I don't want to see you anymore, why do you still appear in front of me?

"Miss Xia, are you alright?" Lu Shaoyun, who turned over and dismounted, faced the girl with hazy tears in front of him, and said uncertainly: "I met Ling Zun and Brother Ling by the Huitong Bridge just now, and Brother Ling asked me to catch up and protect you." It's just that I only saw your back on the bridge, thinking that since you have brown hair, then I won't recognize the wrong person. You're Miss Xia, right? ā€

"Take care of her." Xia Shuanghan, who blinked vigorously, dispelled the fog in front of her, she stuffed Liu Mingzhu into Lu Shaoyun's arms, turned around and took off the sword hanging from the saddle side of Lu Shaoyun's mount. "Qingfeng lends me a use", dropping this sentence, Xia Shuanghan held the sword and rushed into the teahouse again.

"Miss Xia, Xia-" Lu Shaoyun's call, Xia Shuanghan didn't listen to it again, she dodged left and right, and climbed the wooden stairs again as fast as possible.

The second floor of the teahouse has almost been engulfed in flames, and Liu Zirun, who is still stuck in the floor slab, has several burn marks on his body, and his left knee is even bloodied because of the hard struggle.

Xia Shuanghan snatched it in a few steps, straightened the scabbard down, and slammed it down towards the edge of the hole. There was a "click" and the sound of wood chips cracking, but unfortunately, the hole was still not big enough.

"What are you doing here? It's not fast-" Liu Zirun yelled and tried to stop Xia Shuanghan, but before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently.

"You can't die, I'm not going to let you die here." Xia Shuanghan, who is still fighting, is determined to save Liu Zirun.

There was a "click", and it was the sound of the wooden board cracking, but unfortunately Xia Shuanghan's efforts seemed to be in vain. Because just as Yoo finally pulled his left leg out of the slab, the roof of the teahouse shook and cracked, and the beams, rafters, and tiles began to fall non-stop.

"Be careful!" In order to prevent the falling burning rafters from hitting Liu Zirun, Xia Shuanghan didn't want to fly over and push him away, and then she only felt the pain of a fire burning on her back.

"Frost! Frost! Liu Zirun, who was lame on her left leg, swept aside the burning broken tiles on Xia Shuanghan's back with her arm, and lifted her back, which was blurred with flesh and blood, and said weakly through the smoky black, half-dried rag: "There are still a few steps, only a few steps, hold on, hold on, frost cold!" ā€

When she returned to the street again, Xia Shuanghan realized in a daze that she seemed to be being beaten by someone in her arms. Who was holding her? It's not important, the important thing is that my brother, my father, and Zirun are all fine. This time, she can really die without regrets.

"Frost, frost, summer!" Xia Shuanghan recognized it, and the vague figure calling her name in front of her was Liu Zirun.

"Zirun, it's great that you're okay......" After saying this sentence weakly, Xia Shuanghan's eyes closed and he fell into the deep darkness.

As far as the eye can see, it is pitch black that she can't see her fingers, Xia Shuanghan walks alone in a clammy and cold darkness, she believes that she should really be dead this time, but what is the familiar cry from afar?

"Sister, sister, wake up, open your eyes and look at me, I am your favorite sunrise, sister, sister, sister, don't you want me and my father anymore?"

Chao yang? Am I not dead? How can you still hear the voice of my younger brother Chaoyang on this Huangquan Road?

"Take the charcoal basin outside, she has a high fever now, and she must be wiped to cool down."

"Don't, don't, I'm not going out! I'm going to accompany my sister, I'm going to be with my sister! ā€

The crying in my ears was intermittent, and my voice even began to become hoarse. Xia Shuanghan ran in the dark, one would hear his brother's cry, the other would hear the sigh of strangers, countless figures were shaking in the dark, Xia Shuanghan ran towards them desperately, but he couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Daddy, what the hell is going on with my sister, will she die?" In the main hall of Qingfeng Courtyard of Dingguo Mansion, Xia Chaoyang, whose eyes were swollen from crying, said in a hoarse voice, "My mother has already left us, and I don't want my sister to leave us too." ā€

"No, no." Xia Jingzhi hugged his young son, who was crying breathlessly, into his arms and comforted: "Didn't Grandpa Doctor Fang Cai say it, the blood of the frost has stopped, and the burns are not serious." As long as you drink the medicine and the heat can subside, the frost and cold will never be fine. ā€

In the inner room, the two maids of the Guogong Mansion were carefully avoiding the bandaged wounds on Xia Shuanghan's body, and wiping her body with strong wine to cool down. Another delicate-looking maid held a medicine bowl and bent over to try to feed the sleeping Xia Shuanghan and drink the decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor.

The bitter breath on the tip of his nose lingered, but Xia Shuanghan refused to drink a drop in his sleep.

Medicine, medicine again, isn't the medicine I drank before I was alive enough? was tricked by my mother-in-law into drinking a decoction for three years, and then broke my body and ended up childless for life, isn't this enough? Why do I have to drink medicine when I'm dead? No, I don't drink! I won't drink a drop again!

"How's it going, have you drunk the medicine?" Lu Shaoyun, who was waiting in the outer room with the Xia family's father and son, saw the maid Ruixiang coming out with an empty medicine bowl, and was the first to ask.

"Back to the fifth young master, Miss Xia, she refuses to drink."

"What does it mean to refuse to drink?"

"That's it...... It's that Miss Xia kept her mouth shut, and she couldn't feed it at all, so she scattered it all outside. ā€

"A bunch of rice buckets, you can't even feed a single medicine, what's the use of asking you?" Lu Xiaoqing, the Duke of Dingguo, who was also sitting at the table outside, slapped the table and said angrily: "Go and bring another bowl, Tingxuan, you go and feed it." ā€

"Me? No, no, it's not appropriate. Lu Shaoyun, the fifth son of the Lu family who was named by his grandfather and the husband of Xia Shuanghan in his previous life, said: "I and Miss Xia have not yet married, how can I go?" ā€

"Now you know that there is a difference between men and women, and you know to avoid suspicion? Then what did you do to the frost girl just now before Imperial Doctor Di entered the mansion?! ā€

To be honest, the burns on Xia Shuanghan's body are not serious, the main problem is blood loss, if the bleeding cannot be stopped in time, she is likely to be in danger of life. Lu Shaoyun's mother and aunt, several sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters, and all the younger sisters, each of them is a traditional lady, and their faces turned pale when they smelled the strong smell of blood, and it was impossible to treat Xia Shuanghan's wounds. The first-class maids of the Guogong Mansion were all frightened when they saw the bloody wound on Xia Shuanghan's back.

Therefore, in order to stop Xia Shuanghan's bleeding in time, Lu Shaoyun, who had been in the army for many years and had dealt with a variety of external injuries, and was nominally Xia Shuanghan's future husband, became the best person to be found in the Dingguo Mansion before the imperial doctor arrived at Qingfeng Hospital. So, in order to treat Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun basically stripped off her upper body.

"Now that the previous things have been done, then I don't think the last point is missing." Lu Guogong trembled his gray beard and turned to Xia Jingzhi on his side: "Yi'an, what do you say?" ā€

"Also...... That's all there is to it. Xia Jingzhi sighed helplessly and nodded compromisedly.

In this way, after Lu Shaoyun waited for Ruixiang to bring a new bowl of decoction again, he was also helplessly entangled like Xia Jingzhi, and walked into the inner room.
