Chapter 356 The lady has a fever
"It's raining so hard, the doctor said my wound can't come into contact with water." Guo Sheng was also anxious. He said quickly: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find Miss Xiao."
"Yeah, it's getting dark now. Maybe we'll have news tomorrow morning." Lan Ying chased after him and put a straw raincoat on Jun Lie.
"Guo Yang, when the prince comes back, tell him that there has been a mudslide and bandits causing trouble, and I am leading the men there first." Jun Lie stopped and gave Guo Yang his instructions. He then jumped on his horse and disappeared into the rain without fear of the pouring rain.
"Guo Sheng, Lan Ying, take good care of me." Guo Yang instructed them, and after watching them leave, he immediately began to make arrangements. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had kept the reason for Bai Miaoyun's death a secret. The Crown Prince had no place to vent his anger, so he led the army to start a city-wide bandit suppression!
At this moment, if we knew that His Highness had left the city to suppress the bandits, it would probably arouse suspicion out of thin air...
Guo Yang's eyes deepened slightly, and he immediately had an idea.
…
"Miss, my name is Xu Dafu. I run a small business in Hongdu. Thank you for your reminder."
In the cave, Xu Dafu's words of gratitude were heard.
"Isn't it a life-saving favor?" Luo Kui tilted her head in confusion and looked at Xu Dafu and said, "If my young lady hadn't reminded you, you would have run in the wrong direction and would have been buried in the mudslide."
Xu Dafu looked embarrassed. He said, "Yes, it's a life-saving grace. If you have any mission in the future, I will go through fire and water for you." Xu Dafu looked like he was willing to go through fire and water for you.
Even the people around them echoed the words.
"Miss, you are not from Hongdu, are you? Your accent doesn't sound like it." Xu Dafu started asking again. The people in their group didn't look ordinary. The maid was pretty, but the young lady looked ordinary.
Xu Dafu stared at their group: a young lady, four maids, a young master, a few guards, and the remaining few, a mute and one who was tied up.
Even now in the cave, Xiao Jiuyue was still the one being taken care of by their group.
"Not a local." Xiao Jiuyue replied casually and closed her eyes. There were many people in the cave, and her clothes were wet and she couldn't change them. Especially her feet, which were mixed with mud and water, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Young lady." Xu Dafu was about to speak when Luo Kui rushed forward and said, "My young lady wants to rest."
"Miss, how about changing your shoes and socks?" Lianxin said softly, pointing to the side. As long as they covered it with cloth, they could change their shoes and socks.
"No need. Just sit down and rest. We don't know what will happen tomorrow." Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes and glanced at Li Da and Hou Jian. Dong Gui leaned forward and whispered, "Don't worry, Miss. He can't run away."
The rain was pouring outside. With Lianxin Luokui, Jinwen Jinwu and others around, Xiao Jiuyue didn't have to worry at all about how to get through the night.
"I picked up a rabbit. We can roast it." Jin Wen and Yu Ge came back from outside. Firstly, they wanted to explore the way, and secondly, for safety reasons, they didn't dare to go too far. They just caught the rabbit and came back.
The rabbit was prepared and the fire was lit. Xiao Jiuyue woke up when she smelled the fragrance. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lianxin and Luokui roasting the rabbit.
"Miss, are you awake? Have a drink of water first." Lian Xin came forward with a kettle and said, "Jin Wen and Yu Ge have hunted some rabbits. They'll be ready to eat after roasting them for a while."
They were in a hurry, and even if they had prepared something, most of the things were in the carriage, and the remaining dry food had to be saved for tomorrow's journey.
"Has everyone taken a turn to rest?" Xiao Jiuyue closed his eyes for a while and felt a lot more comfortable. He looked at the few people lying in the cave. Many people were standing at the entrance of the cave, looking worried, as if they were afraid that the mudslide would wash away their cave again.
"Don't worry, miss. Everyone has rested. Fortunately, Yu Ge was smart and grabbed a pot when he left. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to drink porridge now." Luo Kui chattered. She hadn't stopped talking since Xiao Jiuyue woke up.
Talk about Xu Dafu who wants to find out their identities, and the Cai family father and son who want to travel with them...
After a short while, Xiao Jiuyue figured out the families that had escaped the mudslide with them. She glanced at them casually and felt that as long as they had no ill intentions, it was fine.
"Miss, the ginger soup is ready. Drink a bowl quickly to help you sweat." Lianxin handed over the cooked ginger soup. She wanted to give her ginger soup when she brought her the water just now, but she was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would not be able to drink it after just dozing off for a while.
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuyue took it.
When Lian Xin touched Xiao Jiuyue's hand, she immediately felt something was wrong. She reached out and touched her forehead, exclaiming, "Miss, you have a fever."
The rabbit in Luo Kui's hand almost fell into the fire. She squeezed over anxiously and said, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"
Xiao Jiuyue took the bowl of ginger soup and drank it all. When she looked up, Dong Guihuaqing, Shang Yifan and the others had all crowded over. She sat up straight and said, "It's okay, it might have been burned by the fire."
Donggui was worried that the eldest lady's face was disguised and it would be difficult to tell.
Hua Qing didn't care about that and directly grabbed her hand. Hua Qing frowned and said, "Miss, you do have a fever. You must change your wet clothes. Otherwise, it won't work if you keep wearing wet clothes."
"Yes, we need to change." Lian Xin looked around. They were not the only ones in the cave. She blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault for not noticing that the young lady was not feeling well."
After entering the cave, the young lady leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. She thought the young lady was tired, so she thought of picking up some firewood to make a fire and boil ginger water, hoping that the young lady would rest for a while.
Dong Gui stood up immediately upon hearing this, walked towards Xu Dafu and the others, and said, "My young lady is ill. Please move outside the cave and rest for a while."
"It's raining heavily outside." Xu Dafu hesitated.
Donggui drew his sword immediately, and Jinwen, Jinwu and others came over immediately, holding swords in their hands, looking like they must get out.
Shang Yifan stepped forward and said, "My sister is sick, so please cooperate with me. Didn't you want to buy some dry food just now? I'll give it to you!" Shang Yifan smiled. Xu Dafu and others looked at the dry food and biscuits sent by Shang Yifan, then looked at the sword in Donggui's hand, and reluctantly went to the cave entrance.
Li Da and Hou Jian pulled him out directly. Both of them were tied with ropes, which made it convenient to pull him out.
Donggui and Huaqing stood guard at the entrance of the cave, pulled a large piece of cloth and blocked the entrance tightly to ensure that people outside could not see anything.
In the cave, Lianxin and Luokui quickly and easily made the bed, built a wooden frame, and added a layer of screen on the outside with clothes.
Xiao Jiuyue felt dizzy and limp. Lianxin and Luokui quickly changed her into clean clothes, even cleaning her shoes and socks. Lianxin said, "Miss, drink some porridge to warm your stomach before going to sleep."
Lianxin took a bowl and scooped some porridge. When she turned around, Xiao Jiuyue had already fallen into a deep sleep.
