poisoning
Bray pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment. Yu Sheng was about to say a few words of comfort when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. His face suddenly twisted and he rushed to the bathroom.
Frey's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered that the food they bought in the central city was most likely laced with salt!
He walked to the bathroom door, knocked on it a few times, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Yu Sheng, open the door and let me in!"
"No...it's okay..." Yu Sheng's voice was weak, trying to comfort the anxious Frey, "There was '釿' in the food. Luckily I didn't eat much...Don't worry about me..."
"Open the door first," Frey insisted, "or I'll remove the lock."
Yu Sheng had no choice but to endure the pain and press the switch on the wall. With a "click", the bathroom door lock opened.
Frey immediately pushed the door open and walked in, closing it behind him.
Yu Sheng's entire body was soaked in sweat, his face pale, but because of Frey, it was stained a little red. "It stinks in here, don't..."
Frey frowned, as if he didn't feel anything at all. He bent down beside Yu Sheng and put his hand on Yu Sheng's stomach. "Does it still hurt? Does it feel better after you poop?"
Yu Sheng leaned weakly against Frey and uttered a weak "hmm". His limbs seemed to be filled with lead and were so heavy that even his neck could not support the weight of his head.
Frey rinsed Yu Sheng with warm water, dried him with a paper towel, and then wrapped him in a blanket and carried him out, placing him on another bed in the inner room. Yu Sheng had already lost consciousness and fell asleep.
Seeing the others' worried expressions, Frey said to them, "Take care of him and keep him watered. I'm going to be out for a while."
"Where are you going?" the orc girl asked hurriedly. "I'm afraid there's no medicine here for him!"
But Frey's steps were hurried, and he was out of the room before she could finish her words.
Yu Sheng's brain was dizzy and his consciousness was sometimes in and sometimes out. Occasionally he was woken up and had to gulp down half a cup of water. His stomach was bloated and he felt a little nauseous but he didn't have the strength to support his body. It was very difficult.
He vaguely sensed that Frey had left, and he felt increasingly uneasy. Sick people are mentally fragile and emotionally negative. Yu Sheng wanted to reach out and grab Frey, but in fact he only raised his hand slightly and grabbed a ball of air.
After an unknown amount of time of suffering, Yu Sheng felt better, but his stomach began to ache slightly. He opened his eyes, but before he could say anything, the three men filled his stomach with water again.
"..." Yu Sheng tilted his head and said weakly, "I'm about to vomit."
"Ahem." The enthusiastic girl cleared her throat awkwardly, "Then you should have a good rest."
The "釿" in a meal will not kill Yu Sheng. His body will produce an immune response and automatically excrete the "釿" element. As long as the amount is not large, it will not endanger his life.
"I couldn't find the medicine. Luckily, the poisoning was mild this time. I was careless." Frey held the nuclear stone in his left hand and pulled out a large piece of bloody meat from a bag beside him with his right hand. As he processed it, he said, "I hunted outside the city. From now on, I'll cook your meals myself."
Yu Sheng was indeed hungry, his stomach had been empty for a long time. When the fragrance came from Frey's side, Yu Sheng's stomach was already rumbling like an empty city.
Frey's cooking skills were becoming increasingly refined, his control of heat and seasonings impeccable, and the room was filled with fragrance. Frey made a broth with wild vegetables picked from the fields, stewing the meat until it was tender, releasing its essence into the broth.
Several "gulp" sounds of people swallowing saliva were heard in the room, obviously coming from different people.
"Brother Wen Xiao!" The girl usually didn't dare to talk to Frey because he was aloof, but now she didn't care about that. She went forward with a shameless face and hugged his thigh, "There's so much soup, Yu Sheng can't drink it all, look..."
"Drink it." As soon as Frey said that, the three men rushed to the pot at the same time, and each scooped a large bowl. They said, "You push me, and I push you." No one is allowed to have more than half a spoonful.
The cat-beastman Bray sat timidly on the bed, looking at the soup pot with longing eyes.
He hasn't eaten normal human food for a long, long time. In order to be available to his owner anytime and anywhere, he has been drinking nutrient solution specially formulated for humanoid pets. He only defecates once in a very long time. In the words of the interstellar people, this means he is "cleaner."
"What are you daydreaming about?" He was suddenly hit on the head. The enthusiastic girl put the bowl of delicious broth to Bryan's mouth and said with a smile, "Eat it quickly. I snatched a bowl for you from several tigers' mouths."
Bray's body trembled, and the tears accumulated in his eyes rolled down. He uttered a nasal "hmm", took the bowl with both hands and started eating. The hot broth flowed from his mouth into his body, even awakening his courage that had been cold for too long.
"Mr. Wen Xiao," Lyle's hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the room, "I'm willing to lead you back to the Bedma family!"
——Wen Xing——
As usual, the common people turned on the television after dinner and watched the news. Although the reports were usually the same, there had been quite a few major events recently. The beloved King Frey Gorrik had unexpectedly passed away, and the throne remained vacant. Every adult was spontaneously concerned about major events on the planet.
The Prince faction previously insisted that Frey had blue beast blood, but recently the Prince faction, which had been silent, suddenly released the authoritative appraisals of countless experts, compared the so-called research data provided by Luther, analyzed them one by one, pointed out the loopholes and generalizations, and finally concluded that this data was completely nonsense, and that it was empty talk to throw dirty water on the deceased Majesty and the current prince. In words and deeds, they also expressed their sorrow for the old butler's betrayal.
Soon after, many netizens in the biological genetics community jumped out, saying that they knew their stuff and that what the XX faction was talking about was real science, while what the other faction was talking about was nonsense. In short, everyone was confused by what was true and what was false. The arena match for the throne was at a stalemate, with neither side willing to give in.
The cabinet vote was evenly split, and with almost half of the members abstaining from voting, the throne was left on hold.
Maybe he sensed something from the adults' attitudes, but Yu Guang has become increasingly silent recently. He no longer asks Anna and Caesar for his parents, but just curls up in the quilt at night with his face buried in a corner of the quilt. The corner of the quilt is wet the next day.
Yu Guang began to read books, learn to write and speak desperately. He forced himself to understand things even if he didn't understand them. When he was very sleepy, he pinched his palms. Anna was the first to notice the scars on Yu Guang's palms and burst into tears. But she was just a maid. Faced with a child who had lost his parents and was born with defects, she didn't know how to guide and comfort him.
Anna ran to find Xi Ze. In her heart, Mr. Xi Ze, who frequently visited Yu Guang and made many delicious meals for Yu Guang, was the person Anna trusted the most after His Majesty and Yu Sheng.
"Xiaoguang, uncle made you some candied fish." Xi Ze came to Yu Guang with the delicious food. He half-knelt down and brought the still steaming dish to Yu Guang, smiling gently. "Do you want to eat it?"
Yu Guang straightened his body and looked towards Xize with his little face. Yu Guang's weight had dropped sharply in recent days. He had shrunk from a chubby little boy to a well-proportioned teenager with dark circles under his eyes, which made Xize feel distressed.
Yu Guang didn't hug Caesar and act like a spoiled child like he used to. Instead, he pursed his lips, nodded, and said slowly, "Thank you, Uncle Caesar."
Caesar looked down at the books in front of Yu Guang. They were already junior high school textbooks for interstellar children. For Yu Guang, who couldn't even speak properly before, this progress could almost be described as "horrifying".
This won't do. Looking at Yu Guang's thin body and exhausted spirit, Xi Ze's heart tightened.
He bent down, put his hands under Yu Guang's armpits, and picked him up. Originally, Yu Guang was very heavy, and Xi Ze couldn't hold him at all, but Yu Guang had lost weight rapidly during this period, so Xi Ze could hold Yu Guang in his arms easily.
Yu Guang remained stiff in Xize's arms, his fists clenched tightly. He spoke slowly but firmly, "Uncle Xize, I need to study. I want to be an emperor in the future, so I can't waste time."
Xi Ze kissed Yu Guang's forehead, "Don't you even have time to eat the candied fish that uncle made especially for Xiao Guang? Uncle remembers that Xiao Guang likes candied fish the most."
Yu Guang shook his head and said nothing more. He twisted his body to get out of Xi Ze's arms and said stubbornly, "I want to read."
This child is under too much pressure.
Xi Ze had always been a tough man, but he was so distressed by the loss of just a friend that it was hard for him to get over it. How much more so was Yu Guang? He had lost his parents, his home.
"Eat it." Xi Ze picked up the small spoon and scooped the food to Yu Guang's mouth. Yu Guang kept his mouth closed at first, but Xi Ze touched Yu Guang's lips lightly with the spoon, and Yu Guang opened his mouth.
The sweet taste spread in his mouth. Yu Guang ate the candied fish bite by bite. Suddenly, his mouth drooped and he cried out "wow".
He cried without any warning, and Xi Ze was startled. The next moment, he quickly put aside the bowl and spoon, hugged the crying Yu Guang into his arms, and stroked Yu Guang's back again and again, "Be good, Xiao Guang, don't cry, be good..."
"Dad - Mom -" Yu Guang cried and shouted, his tears were heartbreaking. Xize's heart seemed to break. He hugged Yu Guang tightly and closed his eyes.
Yu Sheng, even if you become a ghost, you still have to come back in my dreams, right?!
Yu Sheng, who was light years away, felt his heart sank and he became inexplicably anxious.
Night fell. The largest suite in the small hotel only had two rooms, each with two beds. Yu Sheng and Frey squeezed onto the bed, facing each other. Frey held him tightly. When Yu Sheng woke up, he woke up too. Seeing Yu Sheng's panicked eyes, he reached out and gently pressed Yu Sheng's head into his arms. "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I..." Yu Sheng closed his eyes, "I dreamed of Xiao Guang."
Frey paused and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he said, "He'll be fine. Xiaoguang is a strong child."
"But I'm just afraid he's too strong!" Yu Sheng's voice rose, but when he realized he and Frey weren't the only ones in the room, he forced himself to lower it. "He's still so young, he can barely speak clearly... And there's Caesar and Haydn, how sad they'd be to hear the news of my death..."
These fears had long been rooted in Yu Sheng's heart, but things had been happening one after another over the past few days, and Yu Sheng could not and dared not deal with these emotions, but today they all broke out with this sudden illness.
If he really overdosed on tantalum this time and it endangered his life, if he really died...
Yu Sheng simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Frey could only hear Yu Sheng's increasingly rapid breathing. It was not until his clothes on his chest were wet that he realized that Yu Sheng was crying.
In the darkness, the air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of Yu Sheng's suppressed breathing in his chest hit Frey's chest and soul.
"Frey, we must survive."
"There are still many, many people waiting for us to go home..."
