When Rui Xue heard that Zhao Fengnian was sick, her face turned white with fright, where did she remember last night's quarrel, she ran back home, and rushed into the house to take a look, sure enough, Zhao Fengnian lay quietly on the bed, with a layer of abnormal flush floating on her cheeks, dense beads of sweat on her forehead, and her brows were furrowed, as if she had endured great pain, Rui Xue felt a sudden pain in her heart, and rushed forward to touch his forehead, and it was really hot, she shouted softly twice, "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper..."

Zhang Fengnian's eyelashes trembled, he slowly opened his eyes, and it took him a long time to see the person in front of him, he opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but his throat was too dry to make a sound.

Rui Xue was overjoyed when she saw him wake up, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you suddenly get sick, did you get cold from washing your hair yesterday?" ”

A touch of annoyance flashed in Zhao Fengnian's eyes, the weather was cold last night, Rui Xue wrapped all the quilts around himself, he was not good at fighting, there was cold poison hidden in his body, and he was the most vulnerable to cold, so he became like this, his body was as hot as fire, but his heart was so cold that he wanted to shiver.

Rui Xue didn't know that she was in trouble, and thought she had guessed correctly, so she ran to the table and poured a cup of warm tea, helped him up, and fed him to drink, "I'm fine..." Zhao Fengnian's voice was hoarse like a copper basin scraping gravel, and he reluctantly said this, and couldn't help but start to tremble again.

Ruixue hurriedly settled him down again, wanting to get another quilt to cover him, only to find that he only cut new clothes a few days ago, but forgot to make a new quilt, stomped his feet in annoyance, and went to the kitchen to boil hot water.

Before the water boiled, the Zhang family and his wife brought in a dark and thin middle-aged man and shouted, "The doctor is here, the doctor is here." ”

The middle-aged man took off the bamboo basket on his back, sat at the table with a golden knife, drank a bowl of tea poured by Sister-in-law Zhang, and then stepped forward to find Zhao Fengnian and touched his pulse, and opened his mouth to say, "The patient is guilty of a fever, I think it was cold last night, covered with too many quilts, and I have accumulated fire in my heart, it is not a serious illness, I will prescribe a prescription, and it will be almost the same after drinking three pairs." ”

The Zhang family and his wife were very happy to hear it, but Rui Xue looked at the dirt in his fingernails and his mouth full of yellow teeth, and felt sick for a while, eager to take a wet cloth towel and wipe Zhao Fengnian's wrist ten times or eight times, and frowned even more when he heard the bullshit conclusion that the quilt was angry after the flip cover. But this person was invited by the Zhang family and his wife, and he often walked around the village on weekdays, so he didn't want to be offended, so he reluctantly smiled, "Then it's bothering the doctor." ”

As he spoke, he took out the four treasures of the study at home, watched the doctor write a prescription like a chicken claw, offered him fifty medical fees, and sent him out.

Sister-in-law Zhang saw Rui Xue casually throwing the prescription on the table, obviously not wanting to grab the medicine, so she persuaded, "Sister, this traveling doctor is the best medical skill in several villages near us, let's catch the side medicine according to the prescription and show it to Mr. Zhao." ”

Rui Xue turned her head to look at Zhao Fengnian, who was trembling under the quilt, and sighed, "Sister-in-law, let you and Brother Zhang suffer with you, but the medical skills of this traveling doctor are really unconvincing, my shopkeeper is obviously suffering from the wind cold, hot on the outside and cold on the inside, but he said that he has accumulated fire in his heart, which is pure nonsense." If you really follow his prescription, I am afraid that the disease will be even more serious. ”

Zhang Dahe rubbed his hands worriedly and said, "Then it's better for me to borrow a car and go to the city to ask for a doctor in the medicine hall." ”

Rui Xue shook her head, it was going to be dark at this time, and the city gate was probably closed immediately, and it was not good to let the Zhang family and his wife worry about being busy, so he said, "I have learned a few methods, let's try to see if I can make the shopkeeper's fever down." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang saw that she insisted, and she couldn't persuade her again, so she only gave a few more words and went home.

Rui Xue quickly boiled a bowl of thick ginger soup, Zhao Fengnian was dazed, smelling the pungent taste, so he refused to drink, Rui Xue had to hold him half in his arms, while coaxing softly, while slowly feeding him, finally fooled him to drink most of the bowl.

Rui Xue threw a wet cloth towel again, stripped Zhao Fengnian to only a pair of obscene pants, and then wiped his whole body, and finally tucked the quilt tightly and sat on the side.

In the middle of the night, the heat on Zhao Fengnian's head finally dropped a little, but before Rui Xue was happy for a quarter of an hour, he began to shout cold again, Rui Xue rummaged through his box, and did not find a cotton coat and blanket, and regretted why he forgot to borrow a quilt from his sister-in-law before, and now it is not good to wake up people in the middle of the night.

After turning around in place for more than a dozen times, Zhao Fengnian's low moaning voice was extremely clear in the quiet night, like a thin needle piercing the softest place in her heart, and it hurt so much that her tears were rolling in her eyes. In the end, I really couldn't, I took off my coat and middle coat in three or two times, and got into the quilt with only a belly pocket and dirty pants, while thinking desperately in my heart, she was saving people, and at the same time closed her eyes and held Zhao Fengnian in her arms.

I don't know if the two of them really hugged each other and produced a strange warmth, or if Zhao Fengnian's own resistance finally awakened, but after half an hour, Zhao Fengnian actually slept peacefully, and his body was no longer shivering.

Rui Xue let out a long sigh of relief and wanted to get up, but Zhao Fengnian's arms were wrapped around her waist, and she couldn't break free, so she simply lay down and took a nap, and waited for his arms to loosen up a little, and then got up.

It's just that she is busy and tired during the day, and she worries most of the night, so she sleeps until dawn.

In the hazy sleep, Rui Xue suddenly had a feeling of being watched, she frowned slightly, opened her eyes suddenly, a handsome and pale man's face suddenly came into view, and the memory of last night in her mind quickly returned, the hand in the quilt, subconsciously touched her bare thighs, so that she almost shouted, extremely annoyed that she slept so dead last night, and she didn't know when it was dawn. She cautiously looked at Zhao Fengnian a few times, and saw that he was breathing steadily, as if there was no sign of waking up immediately, so she gently moved the arm that stretched across her waist, quietly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, grabbed her clothes and covered them in the bed tent and quickly put them on, only then she breathed a long sigh of relief, remembering that she was almost naked and was held in her arms by Zhao Fengnian just now, and her whole face turned red. I trotted out to get a basin of cold water and washed up.

Zhao Fengnian heard the faint sound of footsteps and water in his ears, slowly opened his eyes, remembering that when he woke up just now, he saw Rui Xue sleeping in his arms, his heart was so warm and so satisfied, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and he suddenly felt that this wind and cold was not so difficult...

Rui Xue prepared the food and other things to be used in the shop, boiled white porridge, packed two plates of pickles, and brought them into the house, seeing that Zhao Fengnian had already put on his middle coat and half leaned on the head of the bed, he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, are you still feeling cold when you wake up?" ”

Zhao Fengnian shook his head and said lightly, "It's not cold, what medicine did you give me last night, the effect is good." ”

"Medicine?" Ruixue put down the tray, lowered her head and pretended to be busy, hiding her suddenly red cheeks, "Ah, I boiled a bowl of thick ginger soup last night, and the shopkeeper didn't like the taste, so I only drank half a bowl, but I didn't expect to really sweat." No, the heat has subsided. ”

"Only drank ginger soup?" Zhao Fengnian didn't seem to believe it, and asked again, "Isn't there anything else, why do I think the quilt was very warm last night?" ”

Ruixue's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly said perfunctorily, "Ah, I covered all my clothes on the quilt last night, so it's warmer than usual." Shopkeeper, you wash and eat first, and I'll explain a few words to Sister-in-law Zhang. After saying that, she almost escaped from the house, Zhao Fengnian immediately changed her cold appearance just now, laughed lowly, and got out of bed to wash and eat happily.

Zhang Dahe volunteered to accompany Zhang's sister-in-law to the dock to see the shop because Ruixue wanted to stay at home to take care of Zhao Fengnian, fortunately, the shop only sells tea, dry food is prepared in advance, and the snow soup also has ready-made marinade, and their husband and wife can also cope with it, Ruixue thanked them, and after sending them out of the village, he was anxious for a while, so he went to Zhao Laoer's house in the front yard, thinking about laying the kang for his own house as soon as possible, Zhao Fengnian slept hot, and he would not easily catch the cold.

Zhao Lao Er because of some crafts, often go out to do some short-term work when the farm is not working, and there are only two sons in the family, so the life is one of the best in the village, and the three main houses in the yard, with the east side of the box, are hung with gray tiles, which are much better than the thatched roofs of the families in the village.

When Rui Xue knocked on the door, their family of four was having breakfast, and when they heard Rui Xue's shout, Qingshan Niang came out and opened the door, and welcomed Rui Xue in.

Zhao Lao Er shouted that the two children stepped forward to salute, Rui Xue smiled and pulled them up, and looked at Qingshan carefully, after all, this is also Zhao Fengnian's student. This child is the same age as Da Zhuang'er, but he doesn't seem to be as honest and simple as Da Zhuang'er, he looks a little pointy-headed, his eyes turn quickly, and he always has a sense of cunning. Another child, who is called a puppy, is only about three years old, and he is more likable than his brother.

Second sister-in-law Zhao quickly withdrew the table, poured a bowl of coarse tea for Rui Xue, and said with a smile, "How can Mrs. Zhao have the time to sit down today, and Sister-in-law Zhang on the other side of the dock may be busy?" ”

Rui Xue nodded and smiled, "Except for a few diners who come to the door at noon, the shop is usually very idle. ”

Second sister-in-law Zhao pursed her lips invisibly, with a look on her face, and her enthusiasm seemed to have decreased by three points, and asked, "Mrs. Zhao has something to ask us to help with, although my family does not have the eyes of the eldest brother of the Zhang family, and will climb the knot, but she also has the strength to do it, and Mrs. Zhao has something to do." ”

Rui Xue heard that there was some meaning in her words aimed at the Zhang family, and frowned slightly, but still smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that it's cold this day, my shopkeeper's body is not good, and he is very afraid of the cold, I just had a cold last night, I want to spread the kang at home, come and see when Second Brother Zhao is free?" ”

Second Brother Zhao originally because Rui Xue was a female guest, so he didn't want to intervene much, so he sat by the door and put a grinding stone, grinding a shovel and other tools commonly used to do work on weekdays.
