Chapter 61 You are dying...
"My dear young lady, you treat your husband very well."
Shang Xi pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "He was seriously injured in order to save me. I have implicated him..."
Shang Xi drank a bowl of porridge without being able to swallow it.
Hehua took the dishes to wash, and Aunt Zhou mixed some food and went to feed the chickens, ducks and geese in the fence.
Shang Xi followed behind, "Mother-in-law, my husband has a fever. Do you know if there is any way to reduce the fever?"
Aunt Zhou said, "I'll get you some wine later. You can rub it on his chest, back, palms, and soles. We in the countryside use this method to reduce fever, and it works quite well."
Shang Xi nodded and subconsciously bowed to Aunt Zhou: "Thank you, mother-in-law."
Aunt Zhou wanted to help Shang Xi, but she was holding a dirty wooden basin in her hand and was afraid of bumping into him.
"Young lady, please don't be so polite. I have received your money, so it is only natural for me to do these things!"
"Thank you anyway."
"Oh, stop talking about this. Go back to your room and wait. I'll bring the things to you later."
Shang Xi returned to the room and Xiao Ning was still lying quietly on the bed.
He walked to the bed and sat down, staring at Xiao Ning in a daze.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Shang Xi quickly got up and opened the door.
Aunt Zhou was holding a bowl of sake, and Lotus followed behind her, holding a wooden basin with a handkerchief draped over the edge of the basin, the water in the basin was steaming.
"First, wipe his body with hot water, and then wipe it with sake."
Shang Xi nodded, thanked him, took the things and placed them on the low table beside the bed.
The door closed again.
Shang Xi hesitated for a moment, knelt beside the bed, lifted the quilt, and reached out to untie Xiao Ning's belt.
We're all men, it's nothing, this is just an emergency...
Shang Xi thought so in his heart.
Just as he was about to untie her belt and lift her clothes, Xiao Ning suddenly opened her eyes and held his hand.
He looked up and saw Xiao Ning staring at him expressionlessly.
Shang Xi: “…”
He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to pull his hand back.
However, although Xiao Ning was sick, he was very strong and he couldn't pull it back after two attempts.
Shang Xi had no choice but to explain in a low voice: "My mother-in-law said that wiping the body with hot water can reduce the fever..."
At this moment, the force that was restraining him loosened.
Xiao Ning exhaled, "You go out, I can do it myself."
Shang Xi: "...Can you do it yourself?"
"Um."
Shang Xi: “…”
Seeing Xiao Ning's decisive attitude, Shang Xi pursed his lips, got out of bed and left the room.
What's that expression on her face?
It was as if he had taken advantage of her just by wiping her body.
She is a homosexual.
Anyway, he is at a greater disadvantage...
Shang Xi let out a breath and suppressed the irritation that was welling up in his heart.
After a long while, he heard the sound of water inside stop.
I knocked on the door, "Are you ready?"
"Wait a little longer..."
Shang Xi sat at the door, propping up his chin and looking at the sky.
Tonight, the moon is still very bright, but there are drifting clouds that block the moonlight from time to time.
"Come in."
Xiao Ning's slightly hoarse voice came out.
Shang Xi stood up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and pushed the door open to enter the house.
Xiao Ning was lying back on the bed.
At this moment, he leaned against the head of the bed with a tired look on his face, looking at Shang Xi.
"I'm sorry, my tone was bad just now."
Shang Xi said: "I don't blame you, I touched you without permission."
The air fell into silence.
"Go to sleep..."
Xiao Ning moved in again.
Shang Xi looked at the empty space, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ning, said nothing, took off his shoes, got on the bed, and lay down at the other end.
Sleeping head to feet.
So that she wouldn't worry about him taking advantage of her.
Shang Xi has been exhausted these past few days and finally arrived at a relatively safe place.
I soon fell asleep.
I slept soundly and soundly.
Shang Xi was still woken up by the sound of knocking on the door.
“Who is it…?”
Shang Xi's voice was hoarse, his head was dizzy, and he felt confused as to where he was.
"Grandma has made breakfast, brothers and sisters, hurry up and get up to eat!"
Shang Xi regained consciousness, responded, and got up from the bed.
Seeing Xiao Ning still lying there without any response, he pushed her arm and said, "Xiao Yanqing, it's time to eat..."
Shang Xi touched her forehead.
It seems to be getting hotter...
Shang Xi pushed her a few more times, and her eyelids moved, but she never opened them.
"Mother-in-law, he, he's even hotter..."
Shang Xi went to Aunt Zhou for help.
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she went into the house to take a look. Seeing that Xiao Ning could not be woken up, she quickly asked Hehua to go find a doctor.
"Is his high fever caused by injury?"
Shang Xi thought so, "He was injured and was caught in a wind on the cliff at night. He has had a fever for more than two days."
"But he seemed in good spirits before..."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she felt something was wrong. Their village was close to the mountains, and many people made a living by hunting. Some people were injured while hunting, and their wounds festered, causing high fever, and many people later became bedridden and died.
But seeing Shang Xi's worry, she still said some comforting words: "Don't worry too much, your husband is blessed with a long life, he will be fine."
Around noon, Hehua came back with the doctor.
As soon as Shang Xi saw the doctor, he quickly pulled him into the house.
"Doctor, please take a look at him! He's injured and has a high fever..."
The doctor carefully removed the cloth tied around Xiao Ning's arm.
Although it was dismantled very carefully, a lot of meat was still torn off.
Shang Xi was terrified watching from the side.
He didn’t know…
Her injuries were already so severe...
The doctor looked at the wound and couldn't help shaking his head. "It's too late. The wound has festering and festered. Cutting off the arm might give him a glimmer of hope, but this kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people. Most people will eventually die from the pain..."
Shang Xi's head buzzed and he lost the ability to think.
The doctor's voice gradually faded away, as if echoing in the sky. He just stared blankly at Xiao Ning, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Cut off the arm...
There is only a glimmer of hope...
Maybe I'll die from the pain...
No!
No way!
How is that possible?
This doctor must be not very skilled!
Yes, as long as she finds a doctor with excellent medical skills, her life and arm can definitely be saved!
Shang Xi got up in a panic and ran out of the room.
He asked Aunt Zhou at the door, "Grandma, do you know where the nearest city to our village is?"
His businesses are spread all over Dayong. As long as they can enter the city, find his people, and find a doctor with superb medical skills, then Xiao Yanqing will definitely be saved...
Aunt Zhou sighed and replied, "The nearest city is also very far away. We have to cross two mountains and walk another fifteen miles to get there. It will take at least three or four days each way."
"Counting the time it takes to get back...it will take at least seven or eight days. I'm afraid your husband won't be able to hold out that long."
"Besides... doctors in the city may not be willing to come to the village."
So long...
Not to mention the festering wound, even the high fever could take her life.
Shang Xi's strength seemed to be drained away.
He staggered back to the hut, sat down beside the bed, and stared at Xiao Ning in a daze.
"Xiao Yanqing, why did you save me..."
"If the assassins want to kill me, let them do it. If I want to jump off a cliff, just let me jump..."
"Why would you risk your own life to save me..."
"That's it, you're going to die..."
"Do you want me to live in guilt towards you for the rest of my life and never be able to find peace?"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible! I'm a very hard-hearted person. Even if you die, I'll still be the high and mighty princess of Dayong, living a life of luxury and devotion."
