Chapter 51: The Downpour (1)
The next day's table was no longer monotonous porridge, steamed buns, ......, but fish, chicken, wild mushrooms, and so on. Lu Qianmo and Shen Ling stared at each other, thinking to themselves, why did this Yun Moxi suddenly become normal again?
Shen Ling: Brother Moxi must have been unable to stand the days of green vegetables and white porridge, so he gave up abusing us. Doesn't he worry that he will grow up to be taller and more beautiful than him? Or will he suppress himself in some other way? When I think about it, I feel terrible, Brother Moxi is really "insidious", and it is better to be careful. It's not easy to grow up safely and comfortably without my parents, alas......
Lu Qianmo: Could it be that he ate his own steak and his conscience found out? No, no, it should be that he knows that he has discovered the storage room and doesn't want to do any more useless work. Yes, it must be.
Qingying: It doesn't matter what he is, the food is finally normal. I didn't eat the steak made by the Lu Pavilion Lord himself last night, which can be described as very depressing, thinking about it at that time, just smelling the aroma of the grilled fish of the Lu Pavilion Lord, I salivated, and now I don't need to think about it to know that the steak must be very delicious. It's a pity, alas......
That's right, early this morning, Shen Ling quietly came to Qingying's room to tell him about the steak, and especially emphasized that Yun Moxi took the share that originally belonged to Qingying. When Qingying heard this, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak out about the behavior of his own son, so he could only accept his fate, who called the other party the master.
……
It's been some time on the boat, and these days Lu Qianmo is either seasick and doesn't know the time, or he's busy looking for meat to eat. At this moment, she was idle, thinking that since she got on the boat, she hadn't received any news from Moyan Pavilion.
When she left the Northern Desert, Lu Qianmo sent a task to Mo Jie, and then she rode a horse to chase Yun Moxi alone. More than half a month has passed, and I don't know what progress Mo Jie's side has. Did Murong safely escort Qin Wei back to the Western Tang Dynasty, did he find out that the left ring finger was longer than the middle finger, did Mo Yan's letter come in time, and did Mo Yan secretly investigate whether there was any progress in the matter about Mo Qingyan that he had secretly investigated.
Staying on a ship is like staying in an enclosed space, where news can't get out or come in. In fact, at that time, she didn't expect Yun Moxi to suddenly abandon her horse and take the boat, and in a hurry, she didn't have time to make any arrangements.
The Nanjiang Grand Canal in Dongyue crosses the three important economic cities of Jiangdu, Shangyuan and Nanhe, providing great convenience for the transportation of goods. This part of the journey, taking the waterway is indeed much faster than the land route, maybe the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Yun Moxi is in a hurry to go home to reunite with his family, so he will choose to take the waterway.
According to what I learned from Shen Ling, except for the time when I grabbed medicine for myself, the ship had never stopped in other ports. In this way, under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that he would want to take advantage of the opportunity to stay in the port to get in touch with Mo Yan Pavilion.
After another two days, it suddenly began to rain in the sky. The rain was very heavy, causing the river to rise and the river surface to be surrounded by mist, and the boatman reported to Yun Mo that the boat had to dock and that it would be very dangerous to continue sailing.
As a result, the ship was forced to dock at the dock of a small town called Hexiang in Uehara Castle. The town is named after the lotus, because this town has nearly 100 ponds of all sizes, each pond is full of lotus flowers, and the layout of the town is mainly based on lanes, so the town is named Lotus Lane Town.
In the afternoon, the rain showed no sign of abating, and the boatman advised everyone to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, judging from his experience, the rain would not stop in the short term, and it was not safe to stay on board.
So, Yun Moxi asked Qingying to go to the town to find a place to stay. In the evening, Qingying finally returned, and in the face of the pouring rain, the umbrella and hat were no longer of much use, and the rain had already drenched them.
Qingying found the mayor of the town and rented a large amount of money from the mayor's courtyard, because there were ten people including the boatman and others, and it was very inconvenient to go to the inn at this time.
The decoration of the mayor's courtyard is very ordinary, and it is not big, but fortunately, the room is barely enough for their group to use, and although the facilities and objects in the house are not exquisite, they can also be used.
The group braved the rain to go to the other courtyard, everyone was more or less wet, and Shen Ling was better than the others when he was protected by Qingying. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they were busy preparing hot water and ginger soup, and since the mayor's family often came to live here, the necessary daily necessities were readily available. Besides, Qingying had previously paid the silver ticket and asked the mayor to prepare the items they needed in advance.
Due to the limited room, Qingying and Shen Ling live together, and when they go out, Lu Qianmo hopes that someone can watch by Shen Ling's side at any time.
At night, Lu Qianmo just wanted to go to bed to rest when she heard a knock on the door.
"Pavilion Master Lu." The person who came was Qingying.
Seeing that Qingying's face was a little ugly, Lu Qianmo had a bad premonition. "Something so late?"
"Shen Ling seems to be feverish."
"What do you say? What's going on? ”
"Shen Ling went to bed an hour ago, and when I was about to go to bed just now, I saw that his face was red and abnormal, and his body was hot." Qingying explained Shen Ling's situation in detail.
Although Shen Ling got off the boat, he was always protected by Qingying, but it was still raining after all. Shen Ling is only seven years old, and his resistance is not as good as that of adults, and Master Shen did not teach Shen Ling martial arts before, so although his physique is not bad, it is not as good as those who practice martial arts.
Lu Qianmo went back to the room and put on a dress, prepared to go to see Shen Ling, and instructed Qingying to invite Yun Moxi over. Only Yun Moxi here understands medical skills, and it is still raining heavily at the moment, so I don't know if it is good to catch medicine in the town.
When he came to Shen Ling's room, Lu Qianmo saw him lying on the bed, his brows were furrowed, his face was red, and he looked very uncomfortable. Touching his body with his hands, it was really hot, and the burn was not low, so I was afraid that it would burn my brain.
Lu Qianmo sat down on the edge of the bed, gently pulled up one of Shen Ling's sleeves, and then grabbed his wrist, and injected a trace of cool air into the other party's body with internal force, hoping to cool him down.
Yun Moxi saw this scene when he came in, which reminded him of that night in the cave, and the other party also cooled him down like this. This woman doesn't know how to heal, and will only use this kind of stupid method to drain her internal strength.
Walking into Shen Ling, Yun Moxi probed his forehead with his hand, and then said to Lu Qianmo: "Let me show him for him." ”
Lu Qianmo didn't raise his head and said, "Then look at it." ”
"You're in my way." Seeing that the other party had no intention of getting out of the way, Yun Moxi spoke up again.
Lu Qianmo looked around, he seemed to be blocking the other party, but ......, "If I don't cool him down in time, he will definitely burn out his brain." ”
"You poured a lot of cool air into his body with internal force, and it has had some effect, but this is not a long-term solution. Get out of the way now, he'll be fine. Yun Moxi patiently explained.
"Really?" Lu Qianmo looked up at Yun Moxi, wanting to get the other party's assurance.
Yun Moxi bowed slightly, giving the other party a positive look, "Don't worry, with me, I won't let him have anything to do." ”
After getting the other party's assurance, Lu Qianmo got up and gave up his position to the other party, and said, "Thank you." ”
"When he's better, it's not too late for you to thank me."
Yun Moxi gave Shen Ling a pulse, and then wrote down the prescription on rice paper with a pen. Lu Qianmo wanted to take the prescription from his hand, "I'll go get the medicine for Ling'er." ”
Yun Mo heard this, did not let go of the hand holding the paper, and then looked at Qingying.
Qingying comprehended Yun Moxi's meaning, and said: "I am familiar with the town, I saw the pharmacy when I was looking for a place to live today, so let me go." ”
Lu Qianmo originally thought that he would go to Yicheng with Shangyun Moxi, but at this moment, he was really embarrassed to bother them to brave such a heavy rain to get medicine for Ling'er, so he planned to run by himself. Unexpectedly, Qingying took the initiative to be willing, "Thank you, Qingying." Lu Qianmo sincerely appreciates.
"Lord Lu Ge is polite, these few days of getting along, I also have feelings for Shen Ling, this little thing should be."
Yun Moxi handed the prescription to Qingying, and then said to Lu Qianmo: "If you feel that you have nothing to do, go and get a basin of cold water and wipe his body, which can have a cooling effect." After a slight pause, Yun Moxi continued: "If his body doesn't continue to heat up, there is no need to do such a thing as using internal force to transport cool air for the time being, and it will be fine." ”
"Well, okay, I got it." After listening to Yun Moxi's words, Lu Qianmo immediately went out and fetched cold water, and then wiped it with a towel for Shen Ling.
This physical cooling method, Lu Qianmo naturally understands. It's just that the situation was urgent just now, and she thought it would be faster to use internal force. Now Yun Moxi assured that Ling Er would be fine, so she didn't have to spend her internal strength.
At this moment, in the room, Lu Qianmo was cooling Shen Ling over and over again, and Yun Moxi did not leave, sitting on a chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Although the town is not big, due to the continuous heavy rain, the roads are very difficult to walk, and the shops on the street are almost closed, so it took about half an hour for Seokei to return. After handing over the medicine he had caught, he quickly went to change his clothes and drank a bowl of ginger soup.
Lu Qianmo saw Qingying come back, and the hanging half of his heart was finally put down. Now as long as you wait for someone to boil the medicine and send it to Ling Er to drink, everything will be fine.
At this moment, Lu Qianmo realized that Yun Moxi was still in the room and had never left. Just now, she concentrated on cooling down Shen Ling, but she didn't notice the other party's movement, and thought that he had already gone back to the room to rest.
After a while, the next person brought the decocted medicine, and Lu Qianmo carefully gave it to Shen Ling. After a tea time passed, confirming that Shen Ling had improved, Lu Qianmo asked Qingying to rest, and he personally kept vigil here, but was rejected by the other party.
Thinking that it might be the reason why Yun Moxi was still here, Qingying rejected his suggestion. Come to think of it, you have to let Yun Moxi leave before it is possible to convince Qingying.
Yun Moxi has been sitting with his eyes closed since he took Shen Ling's pulse and prescribed medicine, and with Lu Qianmo's eyesight, he really couldn't tell whether the other party was asleep or not.
"Yun Moxi~" Lu Qianmo approached and called in a low voice.
Yun Moxi slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Something?" In fact, he had already heard her footsteps coming in his direction.
"Ling Er had already taken the medicine just now, and her condition did not continue to deteriorate. It's late at night, you go back and rest first, if there is a situation, I need to trouble you again. ”
Lu Qianmo spoke so politely, which made Yun Moxi a little unaccustomed. However, he didn't say much, came to the bedside to check Shen Ling's pulse again, and left after making sure that the other party was fine.
"Qingying, you go and rest too, I'll take care of it here." Lu Qianmo proposed again.
"How can this be?" Qingying refused again.
I know that you will refuse, "You must be tired of running around today, besides, I don't know when this rain will stop, we all need you, if you are tired and boastful, how can you serve your family." ”
"This~" Qingying had to admit that the other party was right. This rain doesn't seem to stop in the short term, I'm exhausted, who will run the errands?
"Don't go here or there, let's go. Don't worry, I'll be looking for you for something. ”
Qingying thought about it again and again, and decided to leave, "Then Qingying will go down first, Lu Ge mainly has something, although he came to me." ”
"Don't worry."
At this time, only Lu Qianmo and Shen Ling were left in the room. After confirming Shen Ling's body temperature again that it was gradually normal, Lu Qianmo lay down on the table next to him, intending to take a nap.
