Chapter 32: Nightmare
How so...... How could it be! There was no Snow City in her dream, and no one else saved her.
Shen Yuan fell straight into the river, subconsciously wanted to call for help, but he choked on several mouthfuls of water, struggling and fluttering trying not to sink himself. The Oiran of the Leng Xiang Pavilion didn't understand water at all, and she also felt a real panic in her dreams, despair was like a winding aquatic weed, slowly wrapping around her hands and feet, dragging her deeper and deeper.
She was afraid, she wished she could wake up immediately, but no matter how much she struggled, she was stuck in this terrible dream.
"Mother, save ...... Scarlet ......"
The water in Mochuan is cold and biting, as if he is really in it. Shen Yuan completely lost his mind, and shouted unconsciously, allowing the river water to pour into his mouth and nose. It's a dream...... OK...... Struggling and struggling, I have a little consciousness, and the warm touch of the palm is clearly the corner of the pillow.
Shen Yuan woke up crying, his face full of wanton tears, mottled and wet the pillow. There are also many that flow down the jaw into the neck socket, which is already cold, sticking to the skin, and very uncomfortable.
Shen Yuan didn't dare to recall Fang Cai's dream, he only felt very tired and tired, pinched the corner of the quilt to wipe his tears, sighed and wanted to continue sleeping. Scarlet Cloud was guarding outside, and he should have heard the movement, so he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain in front of the bed to see what was going on.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? You're not crying, are you? Scarlet Cloud bent over and looked at Shen Yuan with concern in his eyes. The curtains were drawn in the room, the light was very dim, and Scarlet Cloud couldn't see her young lady's face clearly, but she recognized the remaining tear stains, and her brows immediately wrinkled.
"What's going on? Miss? Don't cry, Scarlet Cloud is here. ”
Scarlet Cloud pinched the handkerchief and wiped Shen Yuan's tears a little bit. Shen Yuan just shook his head, not wanting to speak: "No." All right...... Just a nightmare. "She was a little confused and didn't like this state very much. It's just a dream...... can't take it seriously, she feels that she should be like water, have no desires, and shouldn't mess around for something unnecessary.
In this way, Scarlet Cloud naturally didn't believe it, hesitated for a moment, turned around and took a fan, sat on the edge of the bed and gently fanned her. Not long after, Shen Yuan had fallen asleep again, hugging the quilt, his breath was very light, and there were almost no ups and downs. "Squeak", the door of the outer room opened, and it was Scarlet Moon who came back from the summer soup.
"Shhhh......h Shen Yuan didn't wake up, so the summer soup was put aside first, it was a moist Poria cocos and lily lotus seed soup, and it was stewed for an hour with enough snow flake sugar, so that it became a bowl of sweet and good taste.
It's useless to think about it for a hundred years, this is not a nonsense, Shen Yuan was originally a person with a cold body, and after thinking about it for a while, his forehead began to sweat profusely, and he lifted the quilt in his sleep, shouting hot in a daze. Scarlet Moon covered her, she lifted it again, and woke up after two repetitions, and hit Scarlet Moon on the hand that wiped her sweat.
"Woo! Miss, the slave is wronged. Scarlet Moon was not annoyed at all, covered the back of her hand and pretended to complain softly, beckoning Scarlet Cloud to bring the heat-relieving soup: "It's been drying, Miss I'm afraid I'm covering it, and I'm just drinking it to cool off at this time." ”
Shen Yuan didn't say anything, he still felt like he was sweating after drinking the summer soup, and he reached out and touched his forehead, but there was nothing. He felt hot on his body, but he shivered inside, and Shen Yuan himself began to panic, could it be that the cold had flare up again. "Go ahead...... Take mugwort leaves, boil hot water, I'm afraid it's ...... again" Before she finished speaking, she was already very dizzy, her body was cold, and she couldn't help but go straight to the bed.
Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud's faces changed, and they immediately took action. Scarlet Cloud immediately ran to pass hot water, Scarlet Moon pulled the thick quilt to cover her, closed the doors and curtains, took out the dried mugwort leaves that she had prepared all year round, and prepared a replacement of fine wool bedclothes. The hot water soon arrived, and Scarlet Cloud was holding a towel at the end, and a few little maids carrying a bath bucket and copper kettle arrived first, carried it into the inner room and placed it before retreating and waiting outside the door.
Shen Yuan's face was very strange, flushed on the pale background, and he leaned listlessly against the wall of the barrel. The two maids sprinkled a handful of mugwort leaves into the water, reaching out from time to time to probe the temperature of the water. Scarlet Moon looked at Shen Yuan, quietly went to get a bottle of white orchid dew, dropped two drops in the hot water, and the fragrance suddenly dispersed. She raised her chin towards Crimson again, and the latter understood, wiped her hands with a handful of mugwort leaves, put some dew on her fingertips, and gently massaged the forehead corners on both sides of Shen Yuan.
The room was soon filled with the rich smell of mugwort leaves and white orchids, and the sweet fragrance was mixed with a hint of bitterness, and even the most hot and restless heart could be relaxed. The technique of Scarlet Cloud's massage is very good, and after pressing Shen Yuan for a while, she can feel that her breath is gradually returning to stability, although it is weak but continuous, it is a sign of improvement.
"I'm scary, isn't it?"
A cold hand suddenly rested on the back of Crimson's hand, and Shen Yuan's voice was weak, and her tone was full of her trademark self-mockery - in the past few years, the two maids had long since become strange, almost the norm of life, and it was not worth being surprised. They also seem to have developed a good ability not to be afraid of the cold, and they can calmly pull out their hands, take the master's hand and put it back in the water, so that the temperature of the fragrant dew hot soup can drive away the lingering cold.
When the cold attacked, Shen Yuan's consciousness was clear, and she was thinking about why. Is it because I was peeping at the window for days and was caught in the wind, or was I tired from acting in that good show, or I was just unlucky, I already caught a cold when it rained, and it only came out today...... It is possible for her, it means that after taking medicine for four years, she has not been able to clear the roots, and from the night when she took the first step to watch the warbler, she was all deceiving herself.
A thousand things rolled in his heart, and in the end he could only swallow it by himself, and finally instructed his maid: "Don't tell Madame about this today, so as to save her worry." "Actually, it's not very bad, the seizures are fast, the recovery is fast, it's much better than before.
"This ......" The two maids glanced at each other, opened their mouths as if they wanted to persuade, but they didn't say anything, they only responded as instructed. Shen Yuan closed his eyes, sent Scarlet Moon to the backyard, and fried a bowl of four red soup. Scarlet Cloud stayed, and continued to press the forehead corners on both sides for Shen Yuan, loosening his spirit.
"Miss should continue to raise it, Mrs. and Sister Shuizhi will take care of everything in the building, we really can't afford to toss our bodies for those who are ignorant."
Speaking of the critical point, Scarlet Cloud also hung his head and became dejected, "This is also the slave's fault, the slave and maid shouldn't have come to the young lady to report to the young lady as soon as they saw something, especially the maid who watched the warbler...... Ah! After going around this big circle, it seems that I don't even know what her name is! ”
