Chapter 31: Critically Ill
In the depths of the Butterfly Valley, there was a nice place by the mountain and the water, where there was a newly built thatched hut and a small pond that had just been dug up.
The water in the pond was specially brought in by someone who opened a canal from the river, which could not only raise fish, but also facilitate the irrigation of the surrounding acres and thirds of fields.
All this in front of her is something that Shangguan Ran has never dared to ask for, it is obviously a simple and unpretentious life, but she still feels so unreal.
Xiao Han went up to the mountains every day to chop firewood and hunt, and returned to the thatched hut on time before noon with firewood and prey, and she would prepare a simple meal before this time.
Sometimes they would work together, and she would follow him when he was hoeing, she would collect firewood and load her game when he was chopping wood for hunting, and she would wash and cook in front of the stove when he was chopping wood for a fire.
Although she sometimes worries about her sister's safety, seeing that Xiao Han is so happy all day long, she suddenly feels that she is starting to be selfish, even if it is a short period of happiness, she is willing.
In those days, it seemed as if the two of them had only each other in their eyes, and they only wanted it to be eternal.
But dream, there will be a day when I will wake up, the sky is very blue, and the sunset is beautiful.
Xiao Han took Shangguan Ran to sit on the top of the mountain, and he promised to stay with her all night with the stars, and then keep watch until the sun rose.
Shangguan Ran was watching the last trace of afterglow disappear, and suddenly felt a spasm in her body, and she quickly covered it with an embroidered handkerchief and coughed lightly.
Seeing that Xiao Han was about to turn her head when she was attracted by her situation, she quickly put away the veil, turned her head to him and smiled: "It's all your fault, you had to take me to the back mountains to pick mushrooms the day before yesterday, and now it seems that I am infected with the wind cold!"
As soon as he heard the word 'wind and cold', his face changed, and he immediately reached out to touch her forehead, his eyes full of chagrin.
"Blame me, blame me, why don't we come to see the sunrise another day, the days to come will be long, don't be in a hurry at this time. It's windy in the mountains, and it will only make your wind chill worse!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to pull Shangguan Ran away, she hurriedly grabbed him and said softly: "It's a good day today, maybe another day won't be as cloudless as today! Besides, even if you are really sick, it's a big deal that you will pick more herbs when you go up the mountain tomorrow and come back!"
She couldn't imagine it, but he was frightened to be like this if he let her know that he had now reached the point of coughing up blood, how anxious he should be, but how could she bear to let him risk his life for the antidote?
She took Xiao Han's hand, turned her head sideways and snuggled tightly into his arms.
The sun was finally rising, and it was the last day, the last day she could hold on.
"Brother Xiao, I want to accompany you like this and count the stars in the sky with you. In the autumn we harvest the fruits we plant, in the winter I chop wood, you weave cloth, in the spring we sow the seeds of grain grass together, and then we have been looking forward to it, looking forward to it, waiting for the next season to come......"
Shangguan Ran's body became weaker and weaker, and she even began to struggle to say a complete sentence, she clenched her sleeves, and turned her head to give Xiao Han a reluctant smile.
At least that's what she originally thought, but at that moment, a sharp pain came from her chest, and then she instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood!
She fell into Xiao Han's arms, and before she could squeeze out a smile, tears flowed out first.
She may not be able to wait, wait for her sister to come out of the palace, wait for the fish in the pond to grow up, and wait for her brother Xiao to grow old together.
In fact, she realized a few days ago that her body, which she thought had fully recovered, began to cough up blood constantly, and it became more and more frequent.
"Ah Ran!"
"How can this be, you obviously said that it was already fine?!"
But no matter how Xiao Han roared, Shangguan Ran was still unconscious, and a person suddenly flashed in his mind: Pavilion Master.
It's the antidote given by the pavilion master, why do you cough up blood, why does the condition get worse?!
There is a way to go back to Sanchuan Stream, yes, as long as you find the pavilion master, there is a way, and the pavilion master will definitely be able to save her!
Xiao Han picked him up and ran down the mountain.
"Ah Ran, you wait, I'll take you back to the Hidden Moon Pavilion now!"
