Chapter 87: Care
The ship drove for a day and a night, I don't know how far it went, the wind and waves on the sea became stronger, and the cabin swayed, disturbing Linghua's dizziness.
She sat limply on the ground, holding the bucket and spitting sour water. I've vomited everything I've eaten, and the only thing that can come out now is the water I drank.
But the water was also vomited, and now the stomach was empty, and there was really nothing left.
After retching for a long time, she took the handkerchief from her bosom, wiped her mouth with a trembling hand, and leaned against the edge of the bed behind her and closed her eyes.
The world was spinning, wave after wave like lapping on her brain, unable to open her eyes, unable to get up, or even unable to think. When she opened her mouth, it seemed that the surging feeling was about to come up, and all she had to do was endure it in silence.
After vomiting all night, her body is very weak now, and she now only hopes that the ship will dock as soon as possible to end this torture.
What time is it? She opened her eyes and saw that the hourglass was no longer flowing, and she had forgotten to turn it at some point...... So be it.
She closed her eyes again and suffered the pain of loneliness in silence.
In the next room, Heng Gu picked up the hourglass and looked at it, the hour had passed, the time was approaching, and Linghua still didn't have a sound.
He leaned against the wooden plank and listened to the movement next door, and could only hear some shallow breathing. If you don't hear a sound, there seems to be some strange sounds last night, isn't there something wrong with Linghua?
Henggu knocked on the wall board between Tianzi No. 3 and No. 2, and this thin layer of wood made a crisp sound.
"Linghua, is there something wrong?"
「……」
"Linghua? If you hear that, respond to me."
「……」
"Linghua?"
Still no response.
Heng Gu's heart was like fire, and he immediately stood up and pushed open the door to the door of Linghua, slammed the door and shouted, "Linghua! Are you in there?"
He put his head on the door and listened for a moment, but when there was still no response, he shook the wooden door open. The candlelight in the corridor shone dimly, and Heng Gu saw Linghua slumped beside the bed at a glance.
He ran over in three steps and two steps: "Linghua, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
Linghua Xing's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the young man in front of her with a face full of worry with her misty pupils in her eyes: "Heng Gu...... I'm seasick......
Heng Gu was stunned for a moment, and reached out to touch Linghua's forehead: "Is it a fever?"
Linghua was deflated and closed his eyes: "It's seasickness. The sea is rough and windy, and it will be dizzy, nauseous, and uncomfortable."
Henggu understood the moment, and probably understood what kind of disease seasickness was. He held Linghua's hand and sent her some spiritual power.
The spiritual power mixed with demon blood was like a strong warm current injected into Linghua's body, her face looked better, but the feeling of dizziness did not decrease at all.
Heng Gu saw that she did not improve at all, and his face added anxiety: "How is this good? I've never been on a boat, and I don't know how to cure seasickness, I'm useless!"
Linghua smiled: "It's good that you can come and accompany me, but I'm uncomfortable now and don't want to talk."
"Then, I'll help you to bed and rest." Heng Gu secretly wiped away the wetness in his eyes, he had never seen her so weak, even if she met a strong enemy, even if she was in prison, she had never felt so vulnerable.
He put his right hand on Linghua's leg, put his left hand around her waist, and hugged Linghua with all his strength.
Linghua was fluttering, she hadn't eaten anything all night, and her body seemed to be thinner. Heng Gu's strength was somewhat restrained, for fear that with a little more strength he would break this fragility.
He thoughtfully put Linghua on the bed gently, slowly withdrew his hands from under Linghua, squatted on the side of the bed and quietly looked at Linghua's frowning thin eyebrows.
The young man's warm, slightly hot hand covered Linghua's sweaty forehead, and gently stroked it back like touching a frightened kitten.
Heng Gu's hands became much softer at this moment, and these hands suddenly had some calming effect, and Linghua's frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed.
"Knock knock".
Suddenly, a woman came from the door
The voice of the man: "This little Langjun, are you in any trouble?"
Heng Gu looked back, and a little lady with a small face and phoenix eyes who was not tall and had round faces and phoenix eyes was standing at the door of the wing. She was dressed in brocade, with a silver hairpin on her head, and a milk doll in her hand.
I don't know what to put in the doll's arms, and it is bulging in the cloth. The child's big black eyes were rolling wildly, and he was looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him.
Heng Gu glanced at Linghua, who was in pain, stroked her forehead again, and got up and walked to the little lady.
This lady didn't wait for Henggu to open her mouth and took the initiative to explain: "We live in Tianzi No. 1, and I heard some movement here from you, and I was afraid that you would encounter any difficulties, so I came over to take a look."
When you go out, you are a human being in the end, Heng Gu recalled the etiquette of human beings, and politely apologized to the little lady: "I'm sorry to disturb the lady, the seasickness of the lady is really bad, and it shouldn't be disturbed to the left and right."
The little lady shook her head kindly: "Even if it is seasick, presumably Lang Jun's lady also doesn't want to make a fuss. Can Mrs. Lang Jun take medicine? It is better to relieve it as soon as possible, otherwise it will take at least three days to continue south, and you will have to suffer a great hardship."
When Heng Gu heard this, he was even more anxious, and he couldn't hold back his anxious expression when he tried to control his expression: "It's not a secret, it's the first time we have taken a boat to go out, and we really don't know how to deal with it."
The little lady had an expression that she had already known, took out a white jade bottle from the clothes in the child's arms, and opened the red cloth: "Lang Jun, please stretch out your hand."
Heng Gu hesitantly stretched out a hand, and the little lady poured out three green pills from the white jade bottle, and then carefully sealed the mouth of the bottle.
"One pill a day can relieve seasickness." She smiled kindly, sweetly, and looked innocent.
Heng Gu grabbed the pill and nodded, "Thank you Madame for your help, if Madame needs help with something, Ling Gu will not stand idly by."
"Ling Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, they are all "neighbors" who live together, so they don't have to be so angry." She tossed the milk doll in her arms, "I am from Nanxiang's original family, this is Wu'er Zhen'er, Lang Jun and Lang Jun can come to Tianzi No. 1 to sit when they are free."
Heng Gu still nodded politely: "Thank you Mrs. Yuan for your kindness, but I still need to take care of my lady now, and I will definitely visit Mrs. Yuan with me when she is better."
Mrs. Yuan didn't say anything, smiled enthusiastically and nodded, and left with the child in her arms.
Heng Gu held the pill in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed closely, a smell of mint, and the rest of the medicinal smell let the cool smell of mint take away, and he couldn't smell anything with his experience.
His fingertips touched the pill, and the process of making this pill quickly came to his mind, except for a few normal herbs that Heng Gu couldn't recognize, there was nothing else special.
"Linghua, Linghua." He didn't dare to move Linghua's body, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "There is a relieving medicine sent from next door, I have seen that there is no problem, you will feel better if you take it."
Linghua opened her eyes and was about to reach out to take it, when Henggu took her hand and stuffed the pill in his other hand into her mouth.
The effect of the medicine quickly worked, Linghua fell into a deep sleep, and it was night when she woke up again, she opened her eyes, her dizziness was reduced a lot, and she no longer gagged. But in the end, he didn't eat for a day and a night, and even though he was a spirit body, he suffered some losses in the end, and he didn't have much strength in his body.
Henggu pushed the door in from outside, holding a bowl of steaming rice porridge in his hand. Seeing Linghua wake up, he put down the white porridge and rushed to the bed, touching her head: "Are you still dizzy?"
Linghua propped himself up and sat up straight: "It's not dizzy, it's much better than during the day."
Henggu put his mind at ease: "That's good, drink some porridge to warm up."
Linghua looked at the white porridge in front of him, blinked and didn't drink it immediately, but asked, "Did you go to the kitchen to find this porridge?"
"Yes, I saw that today's meal was only white flour steamed buns and steamed fish, and I thought that you would not want to eat those meats, so I specially begged the kitchen to cook a small pot of porridge." Henggu scooped up a spoonful and blew it, and put it on Linghua's mouth, "Ah~"
Linghua looked at the spoon in front of him, and suddenly remembered that in the Chunnuan Pavilion, Henggu also treated her like this, but she was beaten
It hurt hard. Now he still treats her with the same attitude, this is a sweet plaster, can't it be removed?
It doesn't seem to be in the way to stick it all the time.
Linghua opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of thick white porridge with the spoon in Henggu's hand. The hot warm current flows down the esophagus into the stomach, and the warmth emanates from the body, and it seems that a small throbbing and warmth that is difficult to contain has sprouted in the heart.
Henggu patiently fed spoonful by spoonful, like coaxing a child, and seriously brought each spoonful of white porridge to her mouth, and the bowl of porridge was quickly drunk.
Linghua took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe his mouth, but found that the handkerchief was full of sour water.
Seeing this, Heng Gu gently wiped the corners of Linghua's mouth with his sleeve, and quietly pulled the handkerchief in her hand out of the room, and it didn't take long for a clean and tidy handkerchief to fly into Linghua's hand.
At the same time as his hand reached the handkerchief, the voice left by Henggu on the handkerchief with his spiritual sense was heard.
"Linghua, good dreams."
Day 2.
Linghua stretched out from the bed, the night's sleep refreshed her, she looked at the two green pills placed on the table: "I didn't expect that there was such a healer on this ship, it seems that I am going to pay a visit."
Just as he was thinking, Henggu knocked on the door outside, his ear on the door frame and listened to the movement inside: "Linghua, how do you feel today?"
"Much better." Linghua stood up and walked to the door of the room, opening the door, "Come in."
Heng Gu ran into the house with a cigarette, and gently held Linghua's face and looked at her face: "It's really much better than yesterday, it seems that Mrs. Yuan's medicine really works."
"The original lady you are talking about, but the woman who said yesterday that she lives in Tianzi No. 1?"
"Exactly, she seems to be a friendly person, and she is also a normal human being, not like she would harm us." Heng Gu pointed to the pill on the table, "I have also tested the medicine, it is non-toxic."
"In that case, we should go and thank her."
