Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Will Never Forsake You
"Let's stay close so you don't get cold." Zhu Qinglin saw Ye Guan draped his robe and thick clothes on her body, but he was so cold that he curled up and leaned against the fire to keep warm, so he moved from the other end of the fire to Ye Guan's side, and the two leaned on each other to keep warm.
It was much warmer when they got closer, and silently, Ye Guan also hugged Zhu Qinglin tightly and surrounded the two of them with a robe. Maybe because of nervousness, the breathing of the two people was a little cramped, looking at Zhu Qinglin's somewhat blushing face, Ye Guan was a little in a trance, if it weren't for such an almost desperate situation, the two of them would have snuggled up to each other in front of the fire on a snowy day to keep warm, how wonderful it would feel.
After a while, a muffled voice in his arms said, "Didn't you say you wanted to chat?" Why don't you speak? ”
"Why did you run out with me, if you were at home as the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, maybe you wouldn't suffer like this. Come, drink hot water and warm up a little bit. Ye Guan rubbed his hands, scooped a bowl of hot water from the pot and handed it to Zhu Qinglin.
"I'm running away from marriage. Originally, I was going to get married next year, and I didn't want to marry that person, so I escaped with you. After a period of familiarity, Zhu Qinglin felt that lying in Ye Guan's arms was not so shy, his toes had been seen by him, what else was there to be shy. Lying in Ye Guan's arms, the warm and comfortable feeling made her feel a little like sleeping, so she turned around in Ye Guan's arms and replied with a yawn.
"Running away?" Ye Guan was also stunned when he heard Zhu Qinglin say this, he didn't expect that Zhu Qinglin was only sixteen or seventeen years old and already engaged, so he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he still said it with a smile. At the same time, I felt that Zhu Qinglin's hands in his hands gradually warmed up.
"The second son of the British Duke's family. I've only met once, although he looks okay, but I don't like her gloomy temperament, and I quarreled with my family because of this incident, so I heard that I went out of Beijing that day, so I went out of the capital with you. Zhu Qinglin felt warmer and warmer, his limbs seemed to have turned into freshly cooked noodles, soft and hot, he couldn't lift a little strength, yawned again, and chatted with Ye Guan with all his spirits.
"I can't imagine that you, a ghost girl, have people crying and shouting to marry." Ye Guan said with a wry smile.
"You want to marry me?" Zhu Qinglin felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, his ears seemed to be constantly buzzing, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, but he heard Ye Guan seem to say that he wanted to marry her, and asked with his eyes open.
"Huh? Shall I marry you? Ye Guan didn't expect Zhu Qinglin to suddenly say this, but he was a little embarrassed.
"You promised?" Hearing Ye Guan's rhetorical question, Zhu Qinglin thought it was Ye Guan's promise, and immediately laughed, and under the excitement of his heart, there was suddenly darkness in front of him, and then he lost consciousness.
Seeing Zhu Qinglin's red face with a gentle and satisfied smile, Ye Guan suddenly felt that his heart was captured at this moment, and the person who could run around with him without regrets like this might not be able to meet the second one again after looking for the end of the world, and maybe if he missed it again, he would never have a chance again. At this moment, his heart no longer escaped.
"Well, I'll go and propose when I get back!" Ye Guan made a decision, she Zhu Qinglin will be my Ye Guan's wife in the future!
"Qing'er, Qing'er, what's wrong with you?" Just when Ye Guan made a decision, he saw that Zhu Qinglin had closed his eyes tightly, his face was flushed, his forehead was frighteningly hot, and the whole person was already unconscious.
"I'm going to marry you, don't sleep with you! You're still going to be my Ye Guan's wife! Don't sleep! I don't want you when you're asleep! Ye Guan tried Zhu Qinglin's forehead with his own forehead, and her forehead was terrifyingly hot. Zhu Qinglin turned from a cold to a fever! It's serious!
"What about the water, what about the water? Qing'er, you wait, I'll go get you water! Ye Guan stood up and first took off Zhu Qinglin's thick clothes and covered her stomach and thighs, exposing only her limbs. He hurriedly brought in a large handful of snow from the outside, tore off a few liners from his body, temporarily used them as a towel, dipped them in ice water, and pasted them on Zhu Qinglin's forehead to cool down. And used a few other pieces of cloth dipped in ice water to spread back and forth on her limbs, hoping that the ice water would help her cool down.
After smearing back and forth several times like this, the temperature on Zhu Qinglin's body did not drop as Ye Guan thought, and the temperature on her body was still terrifyingly hot. The whole person was also confused, and from time to time he was talking nonsense that Ye Guan didn't understand at all.
"Qing'er, you must hold on, I want you to be my wife and have a bunch of children!" Ye looked at Zhu Qinglin, whose lips were already burning, and the remorse in his heart kept surging.
When he was in the capital, he could feel that Zhu Qinglin was different from him, and later on the day he was by the river, Zhu Qinglin was almost about to confess to himself, but because he didn't know whether to accept this feeling, he could only pretend not to understand.
He was driven out of the capital by the emperor, and Zhu Qinglin secretly left home and went out of Beijing with him. If it weren't for the fact that she was still pretending to be confused today, Zhu Qinglin would not have run out at all, and if she hadn't run out, she wouldn't have ended up where she is now.
"You're such a nerd, don't you know how to ask your subordinates to investigate? Otherwise, it's okay for you to ask me, I'm not a stingy person, as for sighing here? This was the first time I met Zhu Qinglin, and Zhu Qinglin said because he was worried about the case.
"Ye Guan, will you walk back with me? I don't want to ride a horse, then I'll be back in the capital too soon, and I want to stay with you more. That day by the moat, Zhu Qinglin said to himself.
"This is the knitting I learned at home these days, this is my first work, since you named it "Two Cows Playing in the Water", then I will give it to you." When he laughed at Zhu Qinglin for being bored at home for a few days but showing off a picture of "Two Cows Playing in the Water", Zhu Qinglin gave him his first embroidery.
"Are we eloping?" Ye Guan shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly.
"Count, I'm going to elope with you!" The girl nodded solemnly.
This is what Zhu Qinglin said to himself when he left Beijing.
When Qing'er follows her, she is always lively and abnormal, which can make people worry a lot, and many things that need to be solved by force, Zhu Qinglin can come out to help him solve the problem as soon as possible. Gradually, Ye Guan got used to a woman in Tsing Yi standing next to him, and got used to the days with her. However, now, Ye Guan suddenly realized that Zhu Qinglin would leave him one day, and Ye Guan was shocked to realize the fear of loss, the sadness of never seeing him again.
"I must not want you to leave me!" Ye Guan looked at Zhu Qinglin, who had lost consciousness, with red eyes, gently stroked her face, not only extinguished the warm fire, but also carried a large pile of ice and snow into the house, and then constantly wiped Zhu Qinglin's forehead and limbs with cold water.
"Ye Guan, shall we elope?" Just when Ye Guan wiped Zhu Qinglin's forehead, he heard Zhu Qinglin say in a daze.
"Well, we eloped, and I'm going to marry you! Come, drink the porridge first. Ye Guan originally thought she was awake, but saw that Zhu Qinglin was actually talking nonsense. Quickly brought a bowl of warm porridge, and opened her lips to pour this bowl of porridge.
However, after Zhu Qinglin said this, his teeth were tightly closed, no matter how Ye Guan poured that bowl of porridge, he couldn't get into Zhu Qinglin's mouth, and after pouring it for a long time, the bowl of porridge flowed out of her neck.
Seeing that Zhu Qinglin could no longer eat, Ye Guan's heart was even more anxious, Qing'er's complexion was getting worse and worse, her lips were chapped, her breath was dying, her face was sad, and Ye Guan's heart sank to the bottom.
"I'll feed you to drink, Qing'er, be obedient, and it will be good to drink it." Ye Guan drank the porridge into his mouth, then leaned down and went mouth-to-mouth with Zhu Qinglin, used his tongue to open Zhu Qinglin's closed lips, and then crossed the porridge in his mouth into Zhu Qinglin's mouth.
Maybe it was Ye Guan's smell that made Zhu Qinglin very familiar, although she was still unconscious, she still opened her apricot mouth a little, let Ye Guan cross the porridge into her mouth, and then swallowed it down her throat.
Ye saw that it had an effect, and hurriedly helped her cool down her body with ice water, and fed her porridge at the same time, so that her body could have the strength to resist this disaster............
…………
I finally got through this difficult night, and the sky gradually brightened. Ye Guan's eyes were bloodshot all night, and he stared at Zhu Qinglin, who was still in a coma, with a pair of red eyes, and his mood sank more and more.
Although Zhu Qinglin survived this night, he still didn't wake up, but kept saying some nonsense about "elopement" and "marry me", which made Ye Guan's eyes red. The temperature of the body has not disappeared much, and it has been going on like this in the mountains where there is a lack of medical treatment. In the end, there were only two results, either the incense disappeared, or the brain burned out due to a prolonged fever.
As soon as Ye Guan saw that it was dawn, he hurriedly ran outside the house, although he didn't know what herbs could cure colds, but he knew that there was a folk remedy that could treat fever.
At night, the wind and snow were so heavy that he couldn't see anything clearly in the mountains, so when the snow was light after dawn, he immediately went to look for the willow tree.
In folk remedies, the bark of the willow tree can treat colds and fevers, and is a natural antipyretic for treating fever. And the willow tree is also easy to identify. Sure enough, after walking in the mountains for a while, Ye Guan saw a tall willow tree, although it was winter, the leaves of the willow tree had fallen. But the skin is still there.
Ye Guan didn't know how much to take back, so he simply tore off a large piece of willow bark and brought it back to the hut, and then cut the willow bark into small pieces with a sword and boiled them with water to make a pot of willow bark soup.
Although willow bark can treat fever, it is also toxic, and Ye Guan really didn't dare to feed too much willow bark soup to Zhu Qinglin at one time. So I could only use my mouth to cross a bowl or so into her mouth first.
After waiting for a while, it didn't seem to have any effect, and the fever still did not relieve.
Although it is said that the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, but Ye looked at the unconscious Zhu Qinglin in front of him and was still anxious, he only knew that it was just a folk remedy, but he didn't know whether this home remedy worked. If it doesn't work, wouldn't it hurt her to stay here?
"No, the left is also dead, and the right is also dead. Can't sit still! Ye looked at Zhu Qinglin, who was still unconscious and had a high fever, gritted his teeth and made a decision.
