When Xia Curtain opened his eyes again, the warm winter sun had already spilled into the room through the panes, and he turned his head to look at the chair next to the door, Situ Lan was no longer there. Come to think of it, when it is dawn, he will inevitably go to rest. I wanted to get up, but somehow, I had no strength, my whole body was soft, and the underwear on my body was still a little damp, and it was estimated that I had a lot of sweat after falling asleep last night.

Xia Mu is not particularly familiar with the feeling of being sick, because she doesn't get sick often, even colds and fevers are very rare, Ye Xiaofei often sighs that she is wild and wild, but she is as strong as a cow.

But today, just by accident, Xia Mu is sick, and there is a saying: Illness comes like a mountain. It's probably what she described at this time. Originally, when I woke up in the morning, I was just dizzy and a little nauseous, and I thought about squinting for a while and getting up again slowly, but as a result, I didn't get up again.

When Situ Lan realized that something was wrong with Xia Mu when she was already in her prime, she had already fallen into a dazed stupor. carefully checked her pulse, only to learn that these days often eat and sleep in the open, alternating between hot and cold, and she is always frightened, so she finally fell ill.

Fortunately, it's not a big illness, it's just a cold and too much thinking, although there is a high fever, but drink some medicine and rest for a few days to be fine. Situ Lan actually blamed himself in his heart, he ignored that she had no spiritual power, and she was just an ordinary mortal......

arranged for the shopkeeper to grab the medicine and decoction according to his own prescription, and Situ Lan found the shopkeeper's little granddaughter to take care of Xia Mu closely. Because after drinking the medicine, she sweated again, and a set of clothes was wet and dry again and again, and it was not a matter after all.

The shopkeeper's youngest granddaughter is fourteen years old, named Tang Ping'er, and she is also a clever and sensible little girl who can look at her eyes, but also in order to ward off evil spirits, she painted her little face black with ash at the bottom of the pot all day long, and made her originally pretty little face look like a Zhong Kui.

No, at dusk, the summer curtain that woke up leisurely, when I woke up, I saw a black face facing me next to the bed, and I almost fainted with fright.

"You, you, you......"

"Sister, you're finally awake." The crisp voice is good, like a little lark.

"Who are you?" When I first woke up, Xia Mu's voice was still a little hoarse.

"My name is Tang Ping'er, and I am the little granddaughter of the shopkeeper of this shop, and the fairy master asked me to take care of you. You've been sleeping for almost a day, are you feeling better now? Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? If you're uncomfortable, why don't you sleep again...... "Well, this Tang Ping'er is more like a little sparrow."

"What about Situ Lan?" Xia Mu interrupted her, otherwise she would probably be able to keep talking.

"Are you asking the Immortal Master? He came to see his sister just now, and when he saw that his sister was still sleeping and the high fever had subsided, the immortal master went back again, probably resting next door at this time. Does my sister want to see the immortal master? Do you want me to call her for you? Or are you hungry? I haven't eaten after sleeping all day, do you want me to arrange for someone to bring my sister something to eat first? ”

"......" Xia Mu felt a buzzing sensation in her head, she held her forehead with one hand, and said, "Don't bother him yet." I'm fine, I'll get up first. "After a day of sleep, my bones are still sore and painful.

"Well, then I'll get some hot water for my sister to wash her face, today is the dirty clothes I helped my sister change, my sister's skin is really good, you must take good care of it."

"Alright, you can go quickly." The girl is a warm and good girl, but she can't resist the summer curtain, so she secretly looked down at the clothes on her body, well, it's really not her own.

Tang Ping'er rubbed a towel while making hot water, and hummed: "The general draws his sword to defend the mountains and rivers, and the concubine carries a sword to protect Tu Su." The general's bones were buried in the yellow sand, and the concubine was lonely under the spring. The iron horse stepped on the spring breeze, and Fanghua had dyed her white hair. The general is fearless, and the concubine has no regrets. Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. As soon as she turned around, she saw Xia Mu sitting on the bed with an even more ugly face, looking stunned.

"What's wrong with my sister? Feeling uncomfortable again? ”

“…… No, what are you singing? Xia Mu asked softly, why it was so similar to the tone in his dream.

"Huh? Oh, I'm singing in our city tune. It's called 'The General Doesn't Return'. Tang Ping'er replied smoothly

Xia Mu frowned, it was too unbelievable, she had never heard this song before she came here, why did she hear it in her dream last night? Oh, no, Situ Lan seemed to have said last night that it was not a dream, but an illusion, an illusion created for her.

"Your face?" Xia Mu asked again.

"Well, if my sister is like me, I'll go to the kitchen and get some pot ash to coat my sister." I told my grandfather that my sister got sick as soon as she came to Ningjiang City, which is very strange. Maybe it's because my sister is so beautiful, and the evil one fell in love with my sister, so she was contaminated with evil qi and got sick. ”

Little girl, it's a shame that you didn't become a detective. Xia Mu laughed in her heart, although she was talking nonsense casually, but don't say it, I can't tell you that her illness was scared in the illusion yesterday, alas! It's out of luck!

"No, I just have a cold. It's good to sleep for a day, thank you for the pot ashes, you might as well keep it for yourself. "Just kidding, can someone like Xia Mu, whose face is more important than his life, plaster his face!

When I got up and got dressed, I still felt a little weak and a little dizzy, but compared to the morning, it was indeed much more refreshing. Don't be angry! This wasted Situ Lan's time for another day, caused him trouble, and knocked on Situ Lan's door a little reluctantly.

"Are you there? Szeto ...... The master of the door. "I don't know why, Xia Mu remembered that he might have stayed in his room last night to keep watch for himself, and he felt a little hairy in his heart, he was scared stupid last night, so he was anxious to stay and guard himself. But now that my mind is clear, I have to react, who is Situ Lan? O master of the door between the moon buds and clouds! People are landlords! It's a local tyrant! It's your own God of Wealth! actually ate the bear's heart leopard gall and asked him to keep a vigil for himself, and his brain was squeezed by the door.

The door creaked open from the inside, and Situ Lan walked out with dignity and elegance. "Are you awake?"

"Well, it's much better. I'm really sorry to trouble you again. ”

"Nothing."

"Well, we can leave tomorrow, I'm fine." Xia Mu hurriedly said. Situ Lan is really self-contained, he can be so patient when he brings out such a troublesome essence. Thinking that if you were to change to yourself, you might have thrown yourself on the roadside haystack, so you can go by yourself!

"There's no hurry."

"Huh?" Really not in a hurry?

"You recuperate first."

Ooh! Sure enough, I still feel that I am afraid that I will get in the way again.

Situ Lan went to the lobby on the first floor with Xia Mu to eat as usual, as usual, just drinking some hot tea or eating a small amount. And Xia Mu has gone from being stunned at the beginning to turning a blind eye to now, she always secretly competed with Situ Lan at the beginning, he didn't eat much, so he ate less than him, he couldn't be a woman by himself, and the amount of food was more than that of a big man, how embarrassing it was. But it only lasted until the third day, and Xia Mu gave up completely, so let him be. Anyway, I must eat enough, and I eat more and more angrily.

After sleeping for a day and being sick for a day, Situ Lan asked her to eat something light at night, but Xia Mu insisted on eating some meat to replenish her vitality. Situ Lan just looked at her in a daze for a while, and finally gave up talking and let her go.

While the summer curtain was eating, there was a commotion outside the inn, and the few guests and shopkeepers in the inner hall immediately stood up when they heard the sound. Xia Mu held her bowl, and there was a piece of chicken on her chopsticks and stretched out her head to look at it.

"Oh! General Qi is here, and the small shop is shining! The shopkeeper immediately bowed his head to greet him.

"Old soup, I miss the braised pork in your store, so I came to eat a bowl." As he spoke, a man in iron armor and a golden helmet walked in.

You don't need to introduce Xia Mu to know that this person must be the general Qi Xiao who led the Qi family army to defeat the enemy country as the shopkeeper Tang said last night. I thought that General Qi would be a man with five big and three thick, tall heads, big horses, and even a scruffy beard, and a little rude, but I didn't expect it to be such a fair-skinned, tall and slender man, who looked like he was in his thirties.

"Ouch! General Qi is really tormenting the villain, so I'll let the kitchen make a big bowl of braised pork. The general will sit down for a while! The shopkeeper Tang was so happy that his old face was smiling, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

The Qi general was not picky, he casually found an empty table and sat down, and the few soldiers who followed also sat down. After greeting the guests at the restaurant, they all sat down at their seats one after another to continue eating.

"General Qi is here!" A young girl's cry came from far to near, and Xia Mu felt a pain in his head when he heard it, and the little sparrow came again.

"I haven't seen each other for a while, but Ping'er has grown up again!" Qi Xiao smiled and touched the top of the little girl's head, looking as kind as an old father.

"General Qi, you really haven't been here for a long time, Ping'er misses you. What about your wife? Didn't come with you? Tang Ping'er blushed through the ashes of the pot.

"Well, she's resting in the camp, I'll come out and bring her some food." Speaking of Madame, Qi Xiao's smile was much more restrained, but it was still gentle.

"Is she feeling better? I miss her too, I already know how to write and sing the songs my wife taught me last time. ”

"Ping'er is smart, she can learn everything as soon as she learns, wait for her to ...... I'll come with her again when I'm better. ”

Xia Mu looked at the general Qi while eating, he was a talent, but he didn't know if he was really the kind of person who could kill the enemy when he went into battle.

"Sister, are you there too? Are you feeling better? The immortal master is also here, doesn't the immortal master eat some food? Or is it not to your taste in the back of the house? Tang Ping'er also noticed Xia Mu and Situ Lan who were eating, so she stretched out her hand to say hello.

"Hmm." Situ Lan bowed slightly, and replied.

Xia Mu simply didn't speak, anyway, it was rude to speak with food in his mouth, for fear that as soon as he answered, the little sparrow would crack endlessly, and he wouldn't be able to catch her stalk.

"Fresh faces?" Qi Xiao also took the opportunity to look sideways at the two of them.

"Yes, General Qi. The fairy master and my sister only came yesterday, and they were supposed to stay for only one night and continue to travel today, but my sister was sick today, so they stayed in our shop for another night. ”

Before the two of them could say anything, the little sparrow had already shaken out their bottoms.
