Chapter 22: Dream Whispering

In the middle of the night, although the two of them fell asleep around the fire, the cold of early spring still woke Lu Xin up. After Lu Xin woke up, the first thing she looked at Xuanyuan Rui was, and when she saw that he was also lying quietly on the ground and asleep, she was a little more relieved, she added some firewood, and the fire burned even more.

She sat beside Xuanyuan Rui and roasted the fire, the fire glittering, and sometimes there was a crackling sound. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the quiet of the night, and it was not clear what was being said, but it felt very attached to it.

Lu Xin turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Rui sideways, and thought: This guy can still have beautiful dreams, I really convince you.

After a while, Lu Xin heard Xuanyuan Rui's dream again, she didn't think much about it, and turned her head sideways to look at Xuanyuan Rui's face, it doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, she was startled when she saw that Xuanyuan Rui's face was full of sweat. The mouth was still talking nonsense, sometimes there was a voice and sometimes there was no sound, Lu Xin stretched out his hand and probed his forehead, and his heart suddenly sank: "Oops, this guy has a fever, maybe it's not ordinary." All of a sudden, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She thought about it again, and first applied a damp cloth to his forehead, which was the only way to reduce the fever now, hoping that he could get through it stronger!

Lu Xin immediately tore off two pieces of cloth and went to the creek to wash them, one was put on his forehead, and the other was used to wipe his sweat. Every once in a while she would go to the creek to change a damp cloth and put it on his forehead, alternating between them to reduce fever. She gently wiped the sweat on his face, looked at him slowly, and thought: "This man is quite handsome, but his character is not very good, and his temper is not very good, and I don't know why?" It's going to be a big disaster. ”

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Rui grabbed Lu Xin's hand that was wiping his sweat in a daze, and grabbed it so tightly. Lu Xin was startled by this unprovoked action, and wanted to break free but couldn't, only to hear Xuanyuan Rui talking nonsense intermittently.

This time Lu Xin finally heard clearly, Xuanyuan Rui grabbed Lu Xin's hand tightly and shouted: "Queen Mother, don't go, Queen Mother, don't go."

Lu Xin was secretly surprised in her heart, could Xuanyuan Rui be a member of the royal family, why would he call the queen mother? What will he be? Emperor? Rajah? Prince? Lu Xin thought for a while, let's not care so much for now. Xuanyuan Rui was still groggy and sometimes seemed very uneasy, and Lu Xin pretended to be like a mother and whispered, "If you don't go, you can't go, so you can sleep obediently." After speaking, he used his other hand to caress his big hand, patting it gently, soothing.

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Rui's mood suddenly quieted down. Lu Xin thought: Although being born in the royal family has an enviable side, there is also a sad side, and it cannot be known to everyone. Hey, it's another child who lacks love!

Lu Xin tossed between Xuanyuan Rui and the two ends of the creek all night, she was exhausted, and before dawn, she sat next to Xuanyuan Rui, comforting him, and fell asleep while napping.

Xuanyuan Rui was in a half-asleep state, and in a hazy sense, he seemed to feel that his queen mother had been with him for one night. He didn't want to wake up, he was afraid that everything would disappear when he woke up. In the dream, he held the queen mother's hand tightly to prevent her from leaving, and the queen mother always said gently: "Rui'er, the queen mother will not leave, the queen mother will accompany you."

When he slowly woke up and opened his eyes, he found Lu Xin sitting next to him, still like he had seen her napping before he fell asleep last night. Then he felt his hands gripped hers tightly, fingers intersecting.

He was surprised in his heart, and secretly thought, "Did you hold her hand all the time last night?" A sense of loss welled up in him. "Yes, the queen mother will never come back, but the feeling in last night's dream is so real." He couldn't help but reminisce about that dream, a feeling he thought about day and night. At the same time, he was also grateful to Lu Xin in his heart. With his other hand, he touched a damp cloth on his forehead. The brow furrowed, what is going on?

At this time, Lu Xin also woke up, and saw that Xuanyuan Rui was also awake, and looked at her directly, Lu Xin suddenly remembered something, so she reached out and touched Xuanyuan Rui's forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay."

Xuanyuan Rui ignored her words and tried to sit up, but found that he had no strength in his body. Seeing this, Lu Xin hurriedly went to help him, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you kept having a high fever in the middle of the night last night, maybe the wound is infected."

After Lu Xin helped him sit down, he thought about it and said with a smile: "Fortunately, my medical skills are exquisite, and I worked hard last night, and I kept changing the wet cloth for you, so that your fever can subside, otherwise you don't know if you can wake up again today."

Lu Xin said this because she wanted him to know his hard work, so that he could know that she was a very good person, and not always look wary of her.

After Xuanyuan Rui listened to Lu Xin's words, he was speechless for a moment, and he thought, "Even changing the wet cloth is also considered a superb medical skill?" Then there are more miracle doctors in this world. Then he remembered a little, last night in a daze, he always felt a burst of coolness coming from his head, very comfortable. It turned out that she was ....... It's just that I was really sick with a fever last night and kept dreaming? Will you keep holding her hand without knowing it? He whispered, "Thank you, girl."

Lu Xin was not happy at all when she heard his thanks, she thought: she had worked hard several times to pull him back from the ghost gate, but she never thought that she would get such a salty and indifferent sentence. Alas, who called me a man with a heart and a belly, of course I can't deal with a patient. Lu Xin smiled and said, "Rui, don't call the girl so angry, call me Lu Xin or Xin'er in the future!"

Xuanyuan Rui looked up at her and answered, "Okay, Xin'er."

After hearing this, Lu Xin gave him a bright smile on his face, and Xuanyuan Rui saw it in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but ripple, like ripples in the calm lake.

After they had eaten all the leftover eggs from yesterday, Lu Xin helped Xuanyuan Rui slowly walk out of the woods to see if they could find a farmer or a temple or a cave or something like that for Xuanyuan Rui to recuperate. Otherwise, if it continues like this, he will only sit still, and Xuanyuan Rui's injury must be recuperated with medicine and conditioning. They stopped and went, although Xuanyuan Rui was seriously injured, his body was very weak, and he had some fever, but fortunately, the injury was not in his legs and feet, otherwise how could she be a woman who could carry him away!

Lu Xin put Xuanyuan Rui's hand on her shoulder, and she realized that this man was really tall, and he was originally supporting him, but people looked at it, as if he was building on her.

Xuanyuan Rui knew that Lu Xin was petite, but he didn't have much bearing capacity, so he also tried his best to support himself and move forward slowly. But the mountain road is rugged, always one foot deep and one foot shallow, it is inevitable that the wound will be torn, and after his high fever, his physical energy is consumed a lot, and from time to time there is a feeling of black eyes and exhaustion.

Sure enough, not far away, something happened. When they came to a somewhat steep mountain road, Xuanyuan Rui's feet sank, he lost his center of gravity, and rolled Lu Xin down the hillside with him, but fortunately, the slope was not long. Lu Xin was shocked, so she immediately ran to Xuanyuan Rui's side to check on his injuries.

She nervously picked up Xuanyuan Rui's head and shouted, "Rui, Rui, how are you?" Are you okay? Are you awake? At the end of the shout, Lu Xin actually cried out loud. When she looked back on these experiences afterwards, she still didn't understand why she was crying at the time. I only know that I am very scared in my heart, afraid that he will die. But I don't know why? She thought that maybe it was because he was the only one who coexisted with her in heaven and earth at that time, and she would feel helpless and hopeless without him.

Lu Xin saw that the clothes on Xuanyuan Rui's chest were slowly stained red with blood, and the person was already unconscious. She shouted at the top of her voice, "Help, help." And again and again, and again.

She hoped that there would be some mountain people or hunters passing by, and that if they met someone, they would be saved. However, the miracle did not happen, Lu Xin shouted until her vocal cords trembled, and she didn't see any movement, she didn't despair, she was still shouting, shouting, until her voice became smaller and smaller, and she couldn't shout.
