Chapter 4 High Fever
"Don't say it, I won't see if Brother Ning is okay or not, just leave after reading it, my father and mother won't find out." Mu Yu directly interrupted her next words, and walked lightly to the gate of the garden, the two wooden doors were hidden, and they opened inward with a slight push, revealing a quiet and desolate courtyard.
Xie Chongning is the child of a distant relative of the Mu family who can't beat him, because he had been kind to Mu Heyun in the early years, and the last family died in the war, Xie Chongning was entrusted to the Hou Mansion, and this trust is nearly ten years.
At the beginning, Mu Heyun was still kind to Xie Chongning, and Shen Mei was also gentle, but in the end, it was not the blood of the Mu family, and he was alone without heels, under the eaves of Houmen, he was always no better than the serious Mu family bloodline, and he was somewhat wronged, Xie Chongning's personality became more and more gloomy and unsociable, and finally Mu Heyun and Shen Mei were no longer distracted, and the people of the Hou Mansion were also accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder, and the serious masters didn't care about them, how could they serve wholeheartedly, In addition, several children from the Mu family's concubines also used him as a thing to humiliate him from time to time to pass the time, which made Xie Chongning's temperament more and more withdrawn and unpleasant.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the east wing room was lit with a dim light, and Qionglan pushed the door open for Mu Yu, and saw a maid sleeping soundly on the table at the door, and the oil lamp was almost burned out and I didn't add it, and I didn't know how long I slept.
Mu Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly entered the inner room, and saw that the futon on Xie Chongning's body was lifted at some point, his thin underwear was soaked with sweat, his whole body was burned red, and his brows were furrowed and his face was full of pain.
"Brother Ning!" Mu Yu took two steps forward and touched his forehead, and she instantly retracted her hand when she was hot.
"Quick! Go fetch water! Mu Yu turned back sharply and gave Qiong Lan a quick order, and then climbed onto the bed and covered him tightly, and Qiong Yao had already brought the water back.
Mu Yu took a handkerchief and soaked the poem, the well water in the winter was cold, she shivered from the cold, and there was still a wound on her back, so she gritted her teeth and endured the pain, wringed it out and applied it to Xie Chongning's forehead.
"Miss, come on, slave, don't give you too much sickness, and you have ...... on your back" Qionglan wanted to reach out and take it, but was pushed aside by Mu Yu.
The movement finally woke the maid up.
"It's noisy again, isn't it just a cold, look at your squeamishness, you don't have that golden life, but it's ......"
The maid rubbed her eyes and muttered in her mouth, and when she looked up, she saw Mu Yu standing on the edge of the bed, looking at her expressionlessly.
"Little ...... Miss! The maid was startled, thinking that she was dazzled, so she hurriedly rubbed it again, and finally made sure that Mu Yu was indeed panicking at this time.
"Miss, why are you here, Young Master Ning is still sick with wind and cold, don't let you get sick and ......"
Mu Yu overturned the copper basin, and a whole basin of ice water was poured on the maid's body, making her shiver.
"Do you still know that Brother Ning is sick?! How did the doctor explain? You don't care if Brother Ning is burned like this, the Hou Mansion bought you in to let you be a young lady?! If I hadn't come to take a look, wouldn't the Hou Mansion have to do something in vain in two days?! Say! Under the violent movements, Mu Yu almost burst into tears in pain, but when he thought of the current situation, he held back and stared at the maid kneeling on the ground with a cold face.
"Slave maid...... Slave ......"
Mu Yu sneered, "You are more delicate than Brother Ning, the master of the mansion, aren't you?" ”
"I'll tell my mother in a while, throw you lazy slaves out of the house! Don't you like to sleep, go back and get enough sleep! ”
The maid knelt down in horror and kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave is wrong!" The slave is wrong! Miss, spare the slaves! The slave doesn't dare anymore! ”
Mu Yu didn't bother to look at her, pointed to the door and said coldly: "Go out and kneel, and if you quarrel with Brother Ning again, I'll throw you out of the house now!" ”
When the maid retreated tremblingly, Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning on the bed with a complicated face, I don't know how he survived these two days, and he didn't do his best to serve the people so badly, but he hadn't lost his life yet, I don't know if I should say that the last sentence is worthy of being a villain?
"Qionglan, fetch another basin of water." Mu Yu shook his head and skimmed away the messy thoughts in his head, rolled up his sleeves and tested Xie Chongning's forehead.
After enduring it, she tilted her head and added, "Go get more charcoal fire, burn it more, and then boil some medicine." ”
Qionglan went out, Mu Yu took a deep breath, endured the pain and looked at the young man who was holding her hand tightly, at this moment his skin was still red, his lips were cracked and bleeding, and his still childish Qingjun face was haggard and unspeakable, his eyebrows were wrinkled into a lump, his lips were closed as if he was whispering, Mu Yu got closer but couldn't hear anything.
"Brother Ning? Brother Ning? I'll take a look at your injuries. Mu Yu called lightly, Xie Chongning always frowned, the bones of the hand holding her wrist were bruised, and she reached out to break it, but she didn't think that it made him more and more hard, and she grinned in pain.
"Brother Ning, the rumors are here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." gasped, Mu Yu had no choice but to hold Xie Chongning's hand in a coaxing way and whisper softly, but the immature tone of the milky voice sounded really weird.
"Miss, the water is coming." As soon as Qionglan came in, she saw Mu Yu lying on the couch almost all of her body, and she couldn't help frowning.
"Miss, you are so polite, come down quickly, and the slave and maid will take care of it."
Mu Yu waved his hand, "Don't be verbose, quickly change a handkerchief." ”
Qionglan couldn't, so she had to go forward and change the handkerchief, and the changed handkerchief was hot as if it had been fished out of hot water.
"Brother Ning kicked the quilt, hurry, press him tightly!" Out of the corner of his eye, Mu Yu saw Xie Chongning start kicking the quilt, and hurriedly asked Qionglan to hold down the quilt.
After changing several handkerchiefs in a row, Xie Chongning stopped tossing, and the temperature on his body faded slightly, but he was still hot.
"Go boil the medicine, I'm here." Mu Yu looked at the sky, and the distance had faded from pure black to dark blue, and it would not be long before dawn.
When Qionglan left, Mu Yu looked at her wrist, which had gradually turned blue, and brushed her hair with some crying.
"Forget it, let's give it a try, no matter how powerful it is in the future, it's just a child after all."
After thinking about it, Mu Yu gently hummed a lullaby that he used to like, without lyrics, pure light humming, the tune is low and tactful, extremely soothing, but now this little milk sound really spoils the artistic conception of the song, but fortunately, it is not unpleasant.
I don't know if it's really the lullaby or what, Xie Chongning's eyebrows really loosened a lot, that is, he even let go of the hand that was holding her, but he still dragged it, as if he was afraid that she would leave.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to pour you a glass of water, you're thirsty, you need to drink some water." Mu Yu whispered in his ear.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Chongning seemed to really understand, and as soon as he let go of his hand holding her, Mu Yu pulled it out with a light twitch, and there was still some pain in his wrist, and he saw that it was already dark.
Sighing, Mu Yu turned around and poured a glass of water on the table, and fed him into his mouth little by little, her body was small, and she didn't have much strength, and she fed herself sweat with water in this cold winter, and her two arms were even more sore.
Just as he was about to turn around after feeding, Xie Chongning grabbed her again, Mu Yuhu glanced at him suspiciously, and finally determined that he was really asleep and did not wake up.
"If you're sick, how can you be so clingy." Shaking his head, Mu Yu put the water cup aside and simply sat on the pedal, his eyes fell on the side of the bed that was not covered by the quilt, and his brows furrowed.
It's just that she also has injuries on her body, but it is difficult to even twist a handkerchief, not to mention turning him over to check the wound on his back, and wait for Qionglan to come back and ask her to find a doctor to change Xie Chongning.
Time passed little by little, and after half an hour, Mu Yu was about to fall asleep, and the sky was white, and Qionglan finally brought the medicine.
After another hurried feeding, Xie Chongning's high fever finally faded, although it was still a little feverish, it was not as scary as before.
"Miss, leave the rest to the next person, can you go back and rest?" Qiong Lan couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at the exhaustion on Mu Yu's face.
Mu Yu glanced at her, "Give it to the next person?" And then wait to collect the body? ”
"Miss......" Qiong Lan choked and said with some embarrassment: "But we came here secretly, if the Hou Ye and Mrs. know about it, we will have to be punished." ”
"If you are punished, you will be punished, and if someone's life is important?" Mu Yu snorted coldly, "If I wasn't really worried about coming over and taking a look, I guess I would have hung white flags during the day!" ”
"Phew! Don't talk nonsense, Miss! How can you say such unfortunate words! Qiong Yao hurriedly snorted a few times, and then said worriedly: "But whether Young Master Ning is seriously ill or cold, it is not a matter for you to guard it like this, and you yourself are not lightly injured, and it is not well, in case it is infected to you again......"
"How can I be so expensive, don't talk too much, go and get a basin of water, and invite a doctor, go quickly!" Mu Yu urged.
Where can Qionglan screw her, since the young lady woke up half a month ago, her temperament seems to have changed a little, sometimes she doesn't look like a child at all, and sometimes she doesn't seem to have changed, in short, Qionglan can't understand her own young lady at all.
Qionglan went out, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and Mu Yutou didn't reply and said, "Let the water go there, hurry up and ask for a doctor." ”
There was a hurried shout from behind him: "Who made you here?!" ”
Mu Yu turned around, Mu Heyun and Shen Mei were both standing at the door, their faces were still anxious, and they were even hastily sloppy.
When Shen Mei saw Mu Yu, his eyes turned red, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he rushed over and hugged her into his arms, and hurriedly said, "You kid!" Why don't you say anything to your mother when you come here! You're scared to death, you know! You're running around before your injuries are healed, do you want to get worse! ”
She was still wrapped in the cold air brought from outside, Mu Yu gently broke away from Xie Chongning's hand, hugged Shen Mei back and said softly: "Mother, I'm sorry, Yu'er didn't mean it, go and sit down outside to roast the fire, Yu'er will tell you in detail." ”
