Chapter 16: Falling ill
After rushing to the next town, she fell ill unexpectedly, her bile was about to vomit clean, she couldn't eat, she had to vomit when she drank water, and she had a high fever overnight. Zhang Long was caught off guard and invited all the good doctors in the nearby towns to come to Su Zijin for treatment.
"It's good to be hungry for two meals, as long as the fever goes away at night, it's not a big deal."
The doctors all said so, and Zhang Long was relieved.
Su Zijin didn't bring a maid, so Zhang Long had to spend money to ask the shopkeeper to find a local daughter-in-law to come over and serve his own lady.
"My lord, Miss's teeth are clenched, and she just can't drink the medicine."
The daughter-in-law found Zhang Long and said worriedly.
Zhang Long was next door to Su Zijin's inn room, and now he came over, looked at his young lady's red little face, gritted his teeth, and told his daughter-in-law to hurry up and boil a few more bowls of medicine, and then reached out and pinched his chin, "Give me the medicine!" ”
The daughter-in-law brought a whole bowl of medicine over, Zhang Long poured it into the young lady's mouth, and only drank three or five sips of a big bowl, and choked the rest to the head of the bed. After pouring three bowls in a row, Su Zijin was in a coma, and he skipped by the past and present lives in a daze, and he couldn't wake up in a daze, and he was also awakened by Zhang Long's hand.
"Uncle Zhang, don't pour it, don't die of illness, I'll choke you to death!"
Hearing his own young lady speak, Zhang Long breathed a sigh of relief, "The general handed you over to me, and I must bring you to Shu County safely!" ”
Zhang Long is not smiling on weekdays, and he sits and sleeps and lives word by word orders, but at this time, he couldn't help but say to his own young lady that he was really frightened by his own young lady's audacity.
Su Zijin breathed a weak sigh of relief, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'm fine." Sooner or later, I'm going to have to get through this, and I'm just pushing myself today. ”
Zhang Long pulled over the chair at this time and reached the head of his own lady's bed.
The person who has just passed the life and death barrier can't let her think wildly, and the soldiers under him often change their temperament after this experience, at this time, of course, he will not let the young lady alone.
"It is estimated that the general didn't expect the young lady to be so decisive, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have arranged it himself before leaving Beijing."
Su Zijin shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not a child of a few years old." ”
Zhang Long couldn't help laughing, for some reason, after this bloody experience together, their relationship was stranger than at the beginning, and they felt like their own family at this time. In the past, only generals and them had such closeness and tacit understanding.
Seeing that his young lady had been full of vitality and was a little haggard at this time, Zhang Long felt a kind of distress for his juniors from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but coax her along with the young lady.
"Yes, Miss is not a child of a few years old, but twelve years old!"
Su Zijin smiled, yes, in the eyes of everyone, isn't she twelve years old? Who could have known that the current Su Zijin was a fusion of the souls of the two worlds? If she didn't have this calm foundation, the only thing she could do today was to run away.
"Miss is having a fever, don't talk, save some energy, it's best to get some sleep, after this night, after this hurdle, there will be nothing to do."
"Hmm."
Su Zijin agreed, feeling the surge of medicinal power, and couldn't help but close his eyes and fall asleep. There were no nightmares to disturb her this time, and she slept soundly.
For a long time, "My lord, go and rest first." Don't worry, you gave me money, and I'll be a caregiver who won't blink an eye all night! ”
The woman was from a poor family in the city, and she cherished this opportunity very much.
Zhang Long waved his hand, "If you want to rest, go to the table over there and sit and rest for a while, I'm here to watch Miss." ”
The woman said no more, and persisted until the second half of the night, resting on the table for a while, and then suddenly woke up, only to see the adult sitting at the head of the bed with his back straight, squinting and caring for the noble girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The woman stepped forward to find out if the noblewoman had a fever, but she woke up Zhang Long.
"How's my young lady?"
"Don't worry, the fever has subsided."
The woman whispered.
"What time is it?"
"It's just over the fifth watch."
The woman is also accustomed to getting up at home, and just now she heard the sound of the watch, and said it at the moment.
"You look at my young lady first."
Zhang Long went out to Zhang Luo for breakfast.
Su Zijin slept until he woke up naturally, he had recovered as before, his body was as light as a swallow, and he felt particularly sweet as eating the porridge and side dishes prepared by Zhang Long.
"Uncle Zhang, another bowl!"
Su Zijin handed the bowl out, Zhang Long took it but didn't add more, but put it aside, and asked about today's itinerary, "Miss has already eaten three bowls, will we leave or rest for another day?" ”
Su Zijin smacked his lips and put down his chopsticks helplessly, "There are still some injured, won't you come with us?" ”
Zhang Long replied, "Their injuries are not serious, and the lowly position has already let the subordinates find the local general judgment with the token, and those people will cooperate with the local general judgment to arrest the local wandering accomplices, and recuperate from their injuries by the way." When this place is completely settled, and they have recovered from their injuries, they will catch up with us. ”
Su Zijin nodded, "Then let's go, don't delay." ”
The group continued to set off.
I don't know if it's Su Zijin's illusion, the faint estrangement between her and the guards in the past seems to have disappeared. It seems that after they fought together, they naturally became a faction, and there was no longer the same strangeness as before.
"Miss, further ahead is Shu Road, a hundred miles of dense forest, do you want to trim it in situ before entering the dense forest?"
"No," Su Zijin looked at the seemingly ordinary Lin Zi in front of him, "You always have to go through, there is no need to prepare too much." ”
The jungle has a name at this time, which is the source of miasma.
The dense forest that has not seen the light of day for a long time is the most likely to breed miasma, and sometimes the strongest people will inadvertently get hit.
Zhang Long is like a great enemy, so that his young lady is ready, in fact, it is just psychological preparation. After all, with the conditions at this time, there is no specific medicine for miasma.
"Miss, I heard from the locals that there is less rain and less miasma this year, so it should be easy to pass."
"Hmm."
They walked all the way for nearly ten days, and it was still early autumn, when the autumn tigers were raging. Su Zijin didn't feel the invisible miasma, but he was about to be out of breath by the heat and stuffiness.
"Uncle Zhang, do you feel that it is getting more and more difficult to breathe?"
Su Zijin endured to follow the team from the beginning and tried not to fall behind. If there is anything she feels uncomfortable with, she can get through it and stand up by herself. But today's discomfort is getting worse and heavier, and Su Zijin really can't bear it, so he speaks.
Zhang Long listened, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop, "Miss, it's uncomfortable, I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't expect you to think so too." ”
"Take a break! Are there any special circumstances before and after? ”
Zhang Long spoke, everyone sat on the ground, everyone gasped, no one felt strange, only felt that it was the weather, only a local person raised his hand, "Leader Zhang, it may be a sign before the rainstorm!" ”
Zhang Long listened suddenly, looked at the sky through the dense forest with a heavy face, originally thought that the sky was normal, but at this time, he looked at it again, and suddenly felt that something was not right, although there was also a blue sky, but the clouds were not too big and too thick, as if a gust of wind blew, and the rain would fall.
