Despite Zhuang Yuchen's clothes to protect him from the cold, Xiu'er still fell ill due to the hunger, fatigue and wind chill in the past few days. In addition, the incident between An Yueze and Zongzi was such a shock that the shock was too great. Zhuang Taoist transformed into the person he had been with her since childhood.
For men who are engaged, all kinds of blows and devastations come one after another, and diseases come like a mountain, and they are out of control.
Zhuang Yuchen looked at the trembling woman huddled on the ground, with black lines all over her face. Was she testing his patience? He just promised to take her in yesterday, and today he fell ill on the pole. Maybe he should pretend that he never said anything.
, just throw her in the wilderness
Looking at her flushed cheeks and listening to her heavy breathing, he couldn't bear to abandon her. He really doubted that he owed her something in his previous life!
"Third brother..." Xiu'er, who was in a coma, trembled into a ball, her teeth chattering, "It's cold..."
Third brother? He remembered that in the past, An Xiuer always loved the name of third brother. Although he only met her once during the engagement, she never left the third brother when talking to him, so that he would not remember it deeply.
It’s difficult
Forget it, considering that she has the same name as An Xiuer, saving her life is considered a good deed.
He took out all the clothes in the bag, helped the unconscious Xiu'er up, and wrapped her three layers in clothes. The freezing rain outside had stopped, but the humid weather was getting colder. He walked out of the shabby house and went to the mountain to look for some clothes.
Herbal medicine that smells like dispelling wind and cold. Wash it and boil it in a broken pot.
"Miss Zhu" Zhuang Yuchen helped her up and gave her the medicine to drink when she was unconscious. Unexpectedly, she kept her mouth closed and didn't move, "open her mouth"
"Well..." Xiu'er felt uncomfortable with the fever, and her head went limp. She bumped into his hand holding the medicine and shook the bowl. Most of the medicine was spilled. Zhuang Yuchen was so angry that he smoked. He loosened his hand and fell into a coma.
Xiu'er fell back to the ground
The ground was as cold as an ice cellar, and Xiu'er shivered into a ball. Zhuang Yuchen held the medicine in one hand, pinched open Xiu'er's mouth with the other, and forced the medicine into her mouth...
After taking the medicine, the fever didn't subside for a long time, but Xiu'er's breathing became heavier and heavier. He put his hand on her forehead, which was frighteningly hot.
Zhuang Yuchen had a headache, so he packed his things, gritted his teeth and carried her out of the broken house.
Her illness could not be delayed, so Zhuang Yuchen quickened his pace and walked through the mountains. Finally, he arrived at a small town in the evening and went to a medical clinic. Under the doctor's treatment, Xiu'er's high fever finally came down.
After coming out of the hospital, she found an inn. Xiu'er lay on the bed tiredly, feeling extremely grateful to Zhuang Yuchen for taking care of her, "Thank you."
"If you don't want to cause trouble for me, get better soon." Zhuang Yuchen said coldly: "The waiter will bring hot water and food to me soon. I live next door. If you need anything, just call me."
"...Thank you." For a moment, Xiu'er didn't know what to say.
"You don't know how to say anything other than 'thank you'?" She has been saying "thank you" every time since the house was broken. What he wants is not her "thank you"
"I'm going to get you into trouble." She didn't want to, so she cried!
"Just don't cause trouble for me in the future." Zhuang Yuchen always had a cold face and did not give Xiu'er any good looks.
"..." She wished she had nothing to do with him, as long as he put the rice dumplings
After Zhuang Yuchen left the room, Xiu'er stared blankly at the mosquito net above her head. She was still unable to accept Zhuang Yuchen's change of identity in a short time. Although he had a sinless face, he had a good heart.
It's still hot, otherwise she would have died in the wilderness long ago
Although he has done many cold-blooded things to zombies, his heart is still warm to humans.
Xiu'er sighed, thinking that if nothing happened to her family, she would still be living in the village, and even if Zhuang Yuchen appeared in his current identity, she would still be happy and excited. But... there was no such thing in the end. But, Xiu'er's heart was broken.
She no longer dares to think too much about marriage. She only hopes that in the rest of her life, she can rescue Zongzi from Maoshan, whose life or death is uncertain, and go to find her third brother together...
She didn't dare to face Zhuang Yuchen now, for fear of what if he recognized her. He had to take her home, just in case Uncle Zhuang and Aunt Zhuang recognized her... However, maybe she would be recognized.
It's not a bad thing. Aunt Zhuang doesn't like her at all. She wishes to break off the marriage as soon as possible. Maybe the An family's troubles and her own departure from home may have caused trouble, so Aunt Zhuang is still relieved.
However, her thoughts were evil, so Xiu'er hit her head. At least Zhuang Yuchen saved her. She shouldn't think of Aunt Zhuang so bad. Maybe she was overthinking, and maybe Zhuang Yuchen had already married.
Give birth to a child...
Now, she doesn't care about so many things, she can only take one step, one step at a time.
After staying in the inn for one night, Xiu'er's fever subsided. She got up early, washed and packed the clothes Zhuang Yuchen had worn for her before. This person was a germophobe, so she had to be more conscious. Whatever she touched,
Clean him up, otherwise you will make him unhappy and throw yourself out of the sky.
To save Zongzi, he is her only hope
Zhuang Yuchen got up and opened the window, and saw Xiu'er wearing thin clothes in the courtyard robbing him of his clothes. In the cold wind, her face was frozen and bruised, and the hands holding the dripping clothes were red and swollen.
Zhuang Yuchen couldn't understand why she would risk her own life for a zombie?
He caused trouble for himself, but he didn't know if it was worth it
After breakfast, Zhuang Yuchen glanced at Xiu'er, who had not yet recovered, and said, "Get up and go out with me for a walk."
"Oh" he is the one who pays for food and accommodation, and Xiu'er obeys his words and doesn't dare to have any objections.
Zhuang Yuchen walked out of the door with a trembling Xiu'er with an expressionless face. He did not go shopping elsewhere, but led her directly into the tailor shop, "Boss, do you have the cotton coat she is wearing?"
When business came to his door, the owner of the tailor shop quickly looked at Xiu'er's figure and said hello: "Yes, yes, please, girl, please come here."
Xiu'er didn't understand why Zhuang Yuchen brought her here to try on clothes, and immediately whispered: "I... have no money."
"It doesn't matter if you freeze to death. Don't cause any trouble to me." Zhuang Yuchen said with a cold face, "I'll help you with the money first. Remember to pay me back later."
"I got it" obviously meant well, but the words he said were extremely unpleasant. The bright smile when he was young is still in his mind, but now he is cold and proud, and his face is paralyzed. Xiu'er is really curious, why did he become what he is today?
No matter what, Zhuang Yuchen was quite generous. He bought two sets of cotton coats and trousers for Xiu'er. Xiu'er had never worn such expensive clothes in her life. They were really warm, and the cold winter seemed no longer so icy and snowy.
Got it
After returning to the inn, he drank a bowl of steaming soup. Zhuang Yuchen prepared the dry food and urged Xiu'er to hurry up. The matter between the female slave and the Han slave was urgent. After the matter was done, he had to hurry up. If Maoshan had not provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked,
It's troublesome. He can rush home as soon as possible. I hope she can give him a try and stop holding him back.
In the next few days, Zhuang Yuchen kept speeding up his journey. He had long legs and fast feet. Xiuer was so breathless after chasing him that there were rice dumplings coming in and out, and they were there in a "whoosh". She hadn't traveled day and night like an animal for a long time.
One day, after rushing too far and unable to find a place to stay in the barren mountains, Zhou Yuchen made a fire in the forest, shot a hare and roasted it. Xiu'er gnawed on the two rabbit legs he pulled to her, and asked
Someone asked, who had been holding back in his heart: "Brother Zhuang, are you married?"
Zhuang Yuchen's hand froze, and he raised his head and looked at her coldly.
Xiu'er's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little afraid of his cannibalistic eyes, so she hurriedly whispered: "Don't pretend I didn't ask." Why are you so fierce? It's like killing someone.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very awkward. Xiu'er just lowered his head and gnawed on the rabbit leg. Zhuang Yuchen said after a while: "No."
Not getting married? Xiu'er's heart skipped a beat again
"We are engaged, but not married yet," Zhuang Yuchen suddenly explained.
"Then..." Xiu'er was a little flustered, "I wonder when Brother Zhuang will get married?"
"years ago"
"When do you plan to get married?"
Zhuang Yuchen said calmly: "When it's time to get married, we'll get married."
"what is her name?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Xiuer regretted them
"She..." Zhuang Yuchen glanced at Xiu'er, but swallowed the name on his lips, "After eating, go to bed."
Xiu'er didn't dare to speak anymore. She hurriedly finished eating, wrapped her eyes and closed her eyes to sleep. Zhuang Yuchen still admitted that she was his fiancée? What should he do!
Thinking about something in her mind, Xiu'er tossed and turned all night. She looked at Zhuang Yuchen's figure in the dark, and her balls hurt more and more. God, she wanted to run away, but she ran far away. There was no Zhuang Yuchen, but she couldn't.
Can't back down
After sleeping until midnight, Zhuang Yuchen sat up suddenly and went to get the sword beside him. Xiu'er seemed to have noticed something happened, so he sat up and asked, "What happened?"
"There is a monster" Zhuang Yuchen raised his sword and chased out of the woods.
Xiu'er was anxious, hugged his baggage and chased after him, "Wait for me."
Looking for the evil spirit all the way, Zhuang Yuchen chased two or three hills and stopped in front of a temple. It was getting light and dawn was about to break. Zhuang Yuchen walked around the temple, frowning.
Xiu'er hugged her baggage tightly and panted as she climbed the stone steps, "You...you run slower, you monster...where's the monster?"
Zhuang Yuchen indicated with his eyes: "Inside"
Xiu'er looked up and said in surprise: "Impossible, this is a temple. There is Tathagata Buddha and all kinds of gods and Buddhas in the temple. Monsters dare to come to the temple to cause trouble!" Only monsters who are tired of living will dare to challenge the Buddha.
