Chapter 26: The Snow Disaster
Shen Run felt that Chenguang had a strangeness that he couldn't speak, maybe it was related to the fact that she grew up in the mysterious Phoenix Netherworld, and he wanted to observe it for a while, but he soon found that he didn't have this chance, because then Chenguang fell into a deep sleep.
Every time the team stopped to see her, she was asleep and really couldn't wake up. Obviously, she had a high fever a few days ago, but now her body is as cold as ice, and the cold body temperature makes Shen Run's heart frightened, although Huo Wu told him that the princess had woken up during the day, and it was common to fall asleep like this, because the princess was weak and easily tired, but Shen Run was still not at ease.
Peng Lin was called to check the pulse again, but he didn't diagnose the reason, which made Shen Run wonder if he was really a famous doctor.
Peng Lin only smiled bitterly in the face of Shen Run's questioning gaze.
A month later, Shen Run finally saw the morning light wake up with his own eyes.
He had been sitting next to her for some time after the group had broken down, waiting for her to wake up, but she hadn't woken up every time he looked at her, until this time.
"Xiao Wu." Shen Run's heart beat faster with a whispering voice, and he closed the book in his hand and looked over, and the morning light curled up in the quilt finally opened his eyes.
Huo Wu had already been driven outside by Shen Run to stand, Shen Run stopped above Chenguang's line of sight, and asked softly:
"Drink water?"
Chenguang looked at him directly, and after a while, he frowned and sat up, rubbed his head and muttered:
"I've slept too long!"
Shen Run thought to himself You also know that he had slept for too long, took his coat and put it on her, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her, God knows the mental activity when he first touched her cold body temperature, he thought she was dead.
Chenguang's eyes widened, staring at the water cup handed over, and then looked at Shen Run carefully, and exclaimed:
"It's really Xiao Run, I thought I was dreaming!"
Shen Run couldn't laugh or cry.
Chenguang took the water glass, held it in both hands, drank it in small sips, and then licked his lips contentedly.
Shen Run watched her pale little face finally regain a little radiance, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is your illness?" When she drank all the water, he asked, should he ask her clearly, her physical condition began to bother him, and it had affected his judgment a lot.
Chenguang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a disease, it's just a weak physique, if something is wrong, you will get sick, you will feel sleepy easily, occasionally you can't wake up, and in order to save your physical strength when you are sleeping, your body temperature will slowly drop ......"
Shen Run was stunned, this ...... What's wrong?
"But I'm not going to die!" Chenguang smiled heartily and said, "At least not yet." She added in a whisper.
Shen Run looked at her, the contrast between her sick and weak pale and her cheerful smile made his heart swell with a trace of pity.
She was so horribly sick, but she could still laugh so happily.
"Xiao Run, when will you arrive in Long Xiguo?" Chenguang asked, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert was too great, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"There are three days left to go to the border pass, the current Longxi Kingdom is autumn, Longxi Country is different from Feng Ming Kingdom, you may feel cold in autumn, I have asked people to buy clothes for you first, you have to wear more clothes after the border pass, don't get sick again."
Chenguang smiled and nodded.
When we arrived at Moyang Pass, it was early autumn.
Moyang Pass is the border pass connecting the desert of Longxi Kingdom and Fengming Kingdom, the hundred-year-old city wall is tall and magnificent, on the magnificent city tower, the army of Longxi Country is vigorous and burly, majestic, with weapons to patrol and walk around in high places, the iron-blooded killing atmosphere that comes to the face is terrifying.
While waiting for the city gate to open, the morning light lifted the corner of the veil and looked at the majestic and solemn city wall in front of him, and the corners of his lips hooked a deep arc.
"Fire Dance, this is Long Xiguo!" She said with a smile.
"Yes."
"What a great place!" The morning light covered his lips and giggled, very pleasant.
"Yes." Fire Dance looked at her and smiled.
When the gates opened, the morning light lowered the veil. The team set off, passed through the pass, and after months of desert travel, finally entered the territory of Longxi Kingdom.
Longxi Kingdom has a four-season climate, and even the cool autumn is cold for the people of Fengying Kingdom, who have lived in the hot and humid for a long time, especially for the frail morning light. As soon as Chenguang came into contact with Long Xiguo's autumn, he had to wrap himself in a thick coat, and then puffed out her cheeks and complained to Shen Run, saying that she hated autumn.
Shen Runxin wished that it wouldn't be long before she would hate winter, even though she kept telling him with gusto, that she wanted to see snow.
Feng Yuan, who thought that Chenguang, was too slow, and not long after entering Longxi Kingdom, Shen Run took it upon himself to change the carriage for Chenguang, and sat in without a word.
Shen Run was worried that Chenguang would fall ill again because of the water and soil, and then her big-breasted maid who was good at dereliction of duty would not say a word again, causing her to become terminally ill without his knowledge, and then die.
Shen Run actually didn't want to sit in, because Chenguang couldn't do without Huo Wu, from morning to night, watching Chenguang lean on Huo Wu's arms and play with Huo Wu as a toy, Shen Run was embarrassed and had goosebumps, he didn't want to look directly.
When he was almost halfway through the journey, Shen Run sent someone to send a letter to Qi An, mainly to tell the emperor that Princess Chenguang had been picked up. The reason why the letter was sent at this time was because the situation of sending the letter and the possibility of receiving a reply was calculated in advance, so that it was convenient for Qi An and his side to prepare in both aspects.
Shen Run didn't expect to receive a reply when he sent the letter, but he received a reply, not sent by the emperor, but a private letter sent by Xue Chong, the letter said that after winter, Huai'an and Huaishan provinces, including the capital Qi'an, suffered the most serious snow disaster in history, the heavy snow kept falling, the temperature was terrible, many houses were crushed by the snow, the crops in the farmland were all frozen, the people were displaced, and countless people died of hunger. Because the snow has not stopped, this time even the imperial court is a little helpless, and the rumors that Long Xiguo was condemned by the gods have spread, which has begun to cause turmoil, and the emperor is furious about this.
In fact, Xue Chong didn't need to write a special letter, and Shen Run already knew, because when he received the letter, he had just entered Huaishan Province, and Chenguang, who was sitting beside him, was still trembling with four hand stoves in his arms, trembling and crying and complaining to him:
"Run, I hate snow!"
It snows heavily and the wind is strong, so it's hard to see the road ahead, even during the day. Walking on the countryside road outside the city, there are houses crushed by heavy snow, and refugees who have frozen to death in the snow and turned into ice corpses. The government organized young adults to clear the roads in the wind and snow, and the snow piled up was more than one person high, but it was useless, because the snow did not stop at all.
On the way, I met many people who fled to other provinces, and according to them, the further they went, the heavier the wind and snow, and even the capital city of Ji'an was not spared. Some farmers wiped tears and cried that all the crops they had worked so hard to cultivate had been frozen and destroyed, and that more people would die of starvation in the future.
Shen Run frowned when he heard this.
