Chapter 83: Fever

[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 83 Chapter 83 Fever

The temple fairs held on the fifteenth day of each month were very smooth, and there was never an accident. But no one thought that this time something went wrong and someone died. Huo Qingsong, who was hiding in Huaping Mountain and looking at the temple fair from afar, didn't expect that the arrested people had just been released and let people kill.

"General, the official is here." Huo Bao looked at Huo Qingsong's gloomy face, and he was really a little timid in his heart. But Fang Zhe on the side kept glancing at him, and Huo Bao could only speak up.

When Huo Qingsong heard Huo Bao's voice, he turned his head to look at him. It wasn't until Huo Bao couldn't stand the pressure of his eyes and felt a little sweaty on his head that Huo Qingsong turned around and walked down the mountain. Huo Bao and Fang Zhe glanced at each other and hurriedly followed. Behind the two of them, there were more than a dozen government soldiers.

Back at Zhichong Mansion, Huo Qingsong sat on the chair and didn't speak. It was Huo Bao who used Huo Qingqing's matter to lure him, and Huo Qingsong, who was cold all over, could be regarded as recovering some popularity, and said softly: "The temple fair was so chaotic just now, Qingqing is fine." ”

"Back to the general, our people escorted the little lady to a big rock, and she was not squeezed by anything." Huo Bao saw Huo Qingsong's brows furrowed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, our people are very careful, and the little lady didn't notice anything wrong." It's just ......"

It's just that Lu Hong seems to have jumped into the stream in the mountains in order to save people. In the end, the little lady and the little lady Lu went back in a carriage with Lu Hong. Huo Bao raised his eyes and looked at Huo Qingsong quickly, and pressed his head very low, he didn't know if Huo Qingsong cared about this matter.

Huo Qingsong nodded first, but felt that something seemed wrong. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Is tomorrow the day of the township test?" ”

"Well, yes, tomorrow is the day of the township test. Lu Hong will take the written test tomorrow, and after the results of the literary test come out, the martial arts test will be held. General, is there anything wrong? "Huo Bao has been following Huo Qingsong for so long, and he knows that he never says useless things. At this time, when I heard him say this, I tried to think about what was wrong.

Huo Qingsong didn't answer Huo Bao's question directly, but shook his head and said, "But I'm thinking too much." By the way, since those people are dead, let Fang Zhe's people secretly investigate the suspicious people in the temple fair. Remember, the person to be checked can't be a single person. ”

"Yes." Huo Bao thought of so many people in the temple fair, and couldn't help but want to sweat a handful of sympathy for Fang Zhe. However, when Huo Bao turned around and was about to go out, Huo Qingsong suddenly stopped him and advised: "Tell Fang Zhe not to make a noise about this matter, so as not to startle the snake." ”

After Huo Bao came out of the room, Huo Qingsong began to think about what happened at the temple fair today. Thinking about it, Huo Qingsong remembered Lu Hong diving to save people again. I don't know why, Huo Qingsong always has a weird feeling, but he can't find anything weird.

Just when Huo Qingsong was a little entangled, Lu Xianger was a 'headache'. Everyone, including Lu Hong himself, thought that Lu Hong was strong and strong. Moreover, today's weather is still relatively hot, and after Lu Hong dived to save Qingya, he started a fever in the evening. You must know that tomorrow is the day when Lu Hong goes to the exam, but he is sick at this time, which can really be called an earth-shattering thing.

At dinner, Lu Xiang'er found that Lu Hong's face was not very good, so she had already asked him. But Lu Hong just thought that he was a little tired and didn't care. Unexpectedly, after dinner, Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing were sitting in the courtyard admiring the moonlight, and Lu Hong suddenly reluctantly walked out of the room, his face flushed.

Lu Xiang'er immediately jumped up in shock, ran to Lu Hong and reached out to touch his head, exclaiming, "Brother, why is your head so hot?" ”

Huo Qingqing saw Lu Hong's appearance and wanted to laugh at him. But suddenly, she remembered that tomorrow was the day when Lu Hong took the township exam, so she hurriedly ran to Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng's room, and shouted: "Uncle Zheng go and invite Langzhong, Lu Hong is sick......

"What, Brother Hong is sick?" Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng were just about to lie down and sleep, when they heard Huo Qingqing's voice, they ran out of the room with their clothes on.

Finding that Lu Hong's whole body was hot, Uncle Zheng ran out while wearing his clothes. Aunt Zheng and Lu Xianger helped Lu Hong to lie down on the bed, and then hurriedly went to dig well water to cool Lu Hong. Huo Qingqing didn't understand anything, so he could only watch from the side, and kept muttering: "What's the matter, how can I have a fever." When I came back from the fair, I was fine. I've got an exam tomorrow, how can I ...... that?"

Aunt Zheng brought the well water into the house, soaked the hand towel and prepared to cool down Lu Hong, but Lu Xiang'er was stunned. After thinking of something, Lu Xiang'er ran out of the room and soon came back with a jar. When she opened the lid of the jar, a rich smell of wine immediately filled the room.

Huo Qingqing was introduced into the room by the aroma of wine, and Aunt Zheng also looked at Lu Xiang'er suspiciously, and the two didn't understand why she took out a jar of wine at this time. Just as Huo Qingqing wanted to ask, Lu Xiang'er had already poured the wine from the jar into the wooden basin in the room. Then she took another handkerchief and threw it into the tub, letting it get soaked. In the end, Lu Xianger took a soaked hand towel and wiped his forehead, heart, palms and soles of his feet for Lu Hong, who was a little delirious.

"Xiang'er, what are you doing?" Aunt Zheng also wanted to ask, but Huo Qingqing asked first.

Lu Xiang'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm cooling my brother's heat." When I was a child, I had a fever, and my mother wanted to use cold water to test it for me. But Hu Shang, who was sitting at home, told his father to use wine instead of wine, and his body would soon become less hot. My aunt tried it, and it was really faster and more comfortable than cold water. ”

It was the first time that Huo Qingqing and Aunt Zheng had heard that wine could also make the hot body less hot, and they were a little skeptical. However, Huo Qingqing was embarrassed to come forward to check, but Aunt Zheng was much older than Lu Erniang, and she didn't care about anything, so she stepped forward to wipe Lu Hong's body with Lu Xiang'er. When Uncle Zheng came back with Lang Zhong, Lu Hong's body was really not so hot.

Smelling the smell of wine in the house, the old man with a handful of white beards immediately said unhappily: "What's the matter with you, people are sick and still let him drink, don't you just want him to live?" ”

"Langzhong, you misunderstood." Aunt Zheng glanced at Lu Xiang'er beside her, pointed to the wine in the wooden basin and said, "Just now, Brother Hong burned the past disaster, and my little lady wiped Brother Hong's body with wine. Now, Brother Hong is really not so hot. ”

"Oh?" Lao Langzhong glanced at Lu Xiang'er, who lowered his head, suspiciously, and then quickly stepped forward to check Lu Hong's pulse. Soon, Lao Langzhong turned to Lu Xiang'er again, looked at her deeply, and then walked to the table and wrote a prescription.

Lao Lang handed over the recipe to Uncle Zheng to grab the medicine, and then asked Lu Xiang'er: "This little lady, can the old man know who handed down this method of cooling down with wine?" ”

When Lu Xiang'er looked at herself when she found Lao Lang, she knew that he would definitely ask. But Lu Xiang'er couldn't say this method, she knew it from her previous life, so she had to say it again. But the old man glanced at Lu Xiang'er again, stroked his beard and looked at Lu Hong, and packed up his medicine box without saying anything.

And when Lao Langzhong walked out of the room and passed by Lu Xiang'er's side, he said softly: "I'm afraid that rice wine is not as harmful as soju." After speaking, Lao Langzhong didn't go to Lu Xiang'er, and slowly walked out of the room.

Because the voice of this sentence was very soft, Aunt Zheng in front of the bed and Huo Qingqing who was standing in the courtyard did not hear it. But Lu Xiang'er was frozen there, and her brain was a little blank. After Lao Langzhong left the room, Lu Xianger reacted and walked out of the room quickly to send Lao Langzhong. Lu Xiang'er was ready to be questioned again by Lao Langzhong, but Lao Langzhong was surprised by her, didn't say anything again, and left the Lu family.

Lu Xiang'er was thinking of using soju to cool down, but she forgot that the cooling effect of rice wine was probably not as good as cold water. Moreover, this soju has appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty from her hands in recent years. Such contradictory words cannot withstand the 'scrutiny' of people with ulterior motives. What's more, Lu Xianger is still being 'concerned' at this time.

In fact, if this matter was put in normal times, Lu Xianger would definitely find a way to remedy it. But Lu Xiang'er's closest relatives are still lying in bed at this time, and she has nothing to think about now. With a heart of going with the flow, Lu Xianger closed the courtyard door and went to take care of Lu Hong.

The temperature of Lu Hong's body dropped, and he drank the decoction in time, and finally came to his senses at dawn. Seeing that everyone didn't sleep all night for him, and even Huo Qingqing, who had no relatives and no care, served medicine for him, Lu Hong's heart was a little blocked.

can think of the upcoming township test, as well as Lu Xiang'er and Lu Erniang, who are far away in the capital, Lu Hong tried his best to forget everything and fall asleep quickly. This time is such a rare opportunity, Lu Hong does not want to give up. He must cultivate his spirit and pass this township test.

Lu Xiang'er knew Lu Hong's wish, and she also understood the pressure brought to him by this sudden illness. For things like exams, the most feared thing is that the pressure is too much, and you will not be able to perform at your original level. Thinking about what she was going to do for Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er shook her head and suddenly saw the kitchen.

When Lu Hong opened his eyes again, he smelled a burst of aroma. He sat up and looked at the source of the aroma, and his face was overjoyed. On the table in Lu Hong's room, there was a bowl of gruel, two steamed buns, two eggs, and a plate of pickled cucumber slices.

Feeling that he was hungry, Lu Hong got up and went to the table, only to see a smiling face painted on each of the two eggs. Knowing that this must have been painted by Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong smiled slightly and reached out to pick up the egg. Unexpectedly, there was a note pressed under the egg.

Lu Hong picked up the note, and after reading the words on it, something quickly flashed in his eyes. Then he sat down with the corners of his mouth raised and ate all the food on the table. After changing into a clean deep coat, Lu Hong strode to the door and opened the door.
