Chapter 296: Hot Porridge for the Poor

Now that the demon was finally gone, Chun Yu's tense nerves were immediately relieved. She couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt like I was lying on a bed, and there were two or three figures shaking around the bed. Chun Yu tried to struggle to get up, but her eyelids closed again as if they had been filled with lead. Someone whispered in her ear intermittently, but she couldn't hear what was being said.

Pure and comatose at times, awake at other times. In this way, I don't know how long, Chun Yu finally opened his eyes.

It was an ordinary room, with a dilapidated ceiling and peeling skin on the surrounding walls. A man sat against a desk against the wall. This man was holding his head with one hand, as if he was in a pretence. Through the dim oil lamp on the table, Chun Yu recognized that this person was Liu Jingxuan.

Chun Yu glanced around and found himself lying on a shabby wooden bed, the quilt on his body exuding a musty smell, so pungent and uncomfortable. Chun Yu pulled open the quilt and found that the patches on the clothes around his body were stacked with patches, as ugly as they were.

Chun Yu suddenly frowned. She struggled to get up, and the "creaking" sound of the bed board alarmed Liu Jingxuan.

Liu Jingxuan turned around, walked to the bed, and said softly, "Are you awake?" said and touched Chunyu's forehead with the back of his hand.

Chun tried to dodge the thick palm, but for some reason, she didn't move.

Liu Jingxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Your fever has finally subsided." ”

Chun looked at Liu Jingxuan and muttered, "Where is this?

Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "You fell into the heart of the river and suffered from the wind and cold, so the high fever did not stop. You've been in a coma for three days. I've already asked you for Lang Zhong and grabbed the medicine. It seems that Lang Zhong is not a quack, and he still has some skills. ”

Chun Yu pointed to his clothes, and said with a calm face: "What's the matter with my clothes? Did you change it!" As he spoke, Chun Yu's right hand had already grasped the hilt of the Liuyun Sword beside him.

Liu Jingxuan shook his head lightly and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't be suspicious. It's not what you think. ”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a woman in her forties came in with a bowl. The woman's clothes were equally shabby, her hair was unkempt, and a hemp rope was so simple that it was tied in a bun at the back of her head. The wrinkles on his face show a sense of vicissitudes that is extremely incommensurate with his age.

"Big sister, you're finally awake. Come, drink this porridge quickly. As he spoke, he was going to feed Chunyu.

At a glance, Chun Yu saw that the black thumb of the woman's right hand had reached into the gruel in the bowl, and she was sick and about to vomit.

Liu Jingxuan understood, hurriedly took the gruel and put it on the table.

"Sister-in-law, I'll feed you. I'm so grateful for the care I've had these days!"

The woman smiled and said, "Look at what you said, it's crepe." It's embarrassing. By the way, big sister, my house is very broken. I don't have any decent clothes. I took all the clothes you used to wash. It's dry now, I'll help you put it on when you get back. ”

The woman glanced at Liu Jingxuan, nodded and said, "Big sister, you are really a blessing." Your men are here to serve you day and night, and they hardly have slept a single night. ”

Chun Yu's face flushed and nodded.

Liu Jingxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, we have been eating and drinking for nothing in your house for so many days, I really can't help it." But don't worry, after a few days, I will definitely find a way to raise some money to repay you and my eldest brother. ”

The woman shook her head, "Big brother, look at what you said. Look, you are also the children of a rich and noble family, and you are really unlucky to meet robbers when you go out. Look at my broken mouth. Don't say it, don't say it. With that, the woman pushed the door open and walked out of the house.

Chun Yu looked Liu Jingxuan up and down: "I remember that you carried thousands of taels of gold with you, how could you settle in such a place now?"

Liu Jingxuan had no smile on his face, and said coldly: "I did bring a lot of gold, and Pengyuan Inn alone gave away as much as 1,000 taels. However, it is a pity that Her Royal Highness the princess repeatedly provoked Da Weimo on the big ship of Qian Wanjin, and the thousand taels of gold sank along with the big ship. ”

Chun Yu was speechless: "It's a pity, it's a pity! Don't you have a tael of silver on you?"

Liu Jingxuan said lightly: "Your Highness is sick and has a fever, and all the money I have on me has been used to treat His Highness." Let's hurry up and eat!" Liu Jingxuan said as he handed the bowl containing the gruel to Chunyu.

As soon as Chun Yu saw the somewhat damaged porcelain bowl, he frowned: "How can you drink this!"

Liu Jingxuan said coldly: "If Your Highness is not hungry, I don't mind drinking this bowl of gruel." ”

Chun Yu's stomach was already rumbling at this time, and she glared at Liu Jingxuan: "Who said not to drink!"

Chun Yu has never felt so sweet as this gruel that can't tell the difference between millet and rice today. According to the current hour, from drinking to drinking, it will be more than five seconds. (I'm really sorry, the timer of the Qing Dynasty really can't describe the speed of pure porridge)

Chun Yu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and handed the bowl to Yoo Kyung-hyun.

Liu Jingxuan was about to go out with a bowl.

"Where are you going?" asked Chun Yu hurriedly.

Liu Jingxuan stopped and said, "Of course it's washing the dishes." ”

Chun smiled and said, "The dignified Yangzhou prefect, the four-pin Huangtang, can also wash the dishes?"

Liu Jingxuan ignored Chun Yu and strode out of the house.

Chun Yu waited a little impatiently, she kept looking at the door: "I'm afraid that the bowl will be leaked at this time!"

After a long time, Liu Jingxuan returned to the house. He walked through the door with a bowl of medicine in his hand.

Liu Jingxuan came to Chunyu, blew the medicine stalk in the bowl, and said, "Hurry up and drink the medicine!"

Chun Yu raised her nose and smelled it, and a choking smell of medicine pierced her head again and again: "This medicine is too hard to drink!"

Liu Jingxuan said with a solemn face: "Hurry up and drink, you can get better quickly after drinking!" I don't think Her Royal Highness the princess should want me to force you to drink this bowl of medicine!"

Chun Yu took the medicine bowl, pinched his nose and drank the medicine in the bowl. This medicine is so hard to drink that Chun Yu has to vomit it out several times.

Liu Jingxuan took the medicine bowl with satisfaction and walked out of the house. This time, Yoo Kyung-sun came back quickly.

Liu Jingxuan glanced at Chun Yu and said softly, "Your Highness, let's rest early!" After speaking, he blew out the oil lamp on the table.

The room was pitch black, and through the misty light of the stars outside the window, Chun Yu saw Liu Jingxuan lying on the table.

Chun Yu said quietly: "Liu Jingxuan, why didn't you leave at that time? Why did you save me?"
