Chapter 51 My Beloved
"Frightened and distracted, heart fire agitated, qi and blood deficient..."
Another white-haired doctor spoke of the symptoms and wrote down a new prescription.
The same words - "As long as the high fever subsides, Second Grandma will be fine."
Every time Xie Yuduo heard a word, his heart tightened a little, and he never relaxed until the end.
These days, doctors are coming and going in the Xie family mansion all the time.
Sun Xueyi barely escaped death, and Chen Qi also had a high fever that wouldn't go away.
Xie Yuduo invited three or five of Pingshan City's most prestigious doctors, and they all gave similar diagnoses.
Second Grandma is not seriously ill. She will be fine once the fever goes away.
Ever since Xie Yuduo hurriedly carried her back to her bedroom that day, Chen Qi had been feeling hot, her forehead burning. Occasionally, she would mumble something, but when he leaned over to talk to her, she would fall into a deep sleep again.
The medicine can be fed in.
Using a spoon, a tube, and his tongue to pry open her teeth, he tried every way to make her drink the medicine.
The high fever subsided that night.
But she still didn't wake up.
He showed the doctor boxes of medicinal herbs he had accumulated over the years and pills he had bought at a high price in the southwestern border, but he always got a shake of the head.
"This medicine is excellent, but it's inappropriate and unnecessary. Second Madam's illness is very mild, and she doesn't need such strong medicine."
But she just remained unconscious.
Xie Yuduo wanted to test the efficacy of the medicine on her first before feeding it to her and give it a try.
He tried four or five kinds in a row and felt that there was nothing wrong with them. But when he fed them to Chen Qi's mouth, he backed off again.
I really don't dare.
I really don't dare let her take risks.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the herbal medicine shop on Silver Lion Street reopened, but the two managers of the Xie family did not show up.
Everyone in the Xie family was taking good care of Sun Xueyi, who had escaped from a desperate situation. Only he stayed by the side of the sleeping Chen Qi, never leaving her side.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he felt really regretful.
I really shouldn't have wandered around the streets on Lantern Festival night, nor should I have brought her back in the snow, and I shouldn't have entangled her in the bathtub for so long.
Although no doctor said that her illness was caused by cold, he still felt very guilty.
Touching her pale little face, this man who could still talk and laugh freely on horseback on a cliff thousands of feet high didn't want to say a single word.
At dawn on the third day, he ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, and made up his mind to take her to the provincial capital for treatment.
If that doesn't work, go to the capital.
If all else fails, he will travel around the world to search for folk remedies and ancient medicines for her.
…
Then, Chen Qi woke up.
She propped herself up with some difficulty and looked at Xie Yuduo who was lying on the quilt in deep thought.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Qi narrowed her eyes slightly and tilted her head to look at him.
"Why don't you come in and sleep?"
Xie Yuduo took a deep breath and rubbed his face vigorously. He hadn't slept for two days and felt a little dazed.
When she opened her eyes again, her face was pale and her chin was a little pointed, but she had indeed sat up and was still looking at him with her head tilted.
She smiled again.
"Aren't you cold?"
After sleeping for two days in a row, even though he moistened her lips with water from time to time, her usually delicate lips had become dry.
But he was laughing.
My heart suddenly trembled.
He finally made sure that he was sane, and then he opened his arms and hugged his beloved.
His tall nose was buried deep in Chen Qi's neck, sniffing the familiar scent.
The string that had been taut suddenly loosened.
He suddenly felt that he had no strength left in his body. His tall and strong body seemed to fall down without any effort, almost knocking Chen Qi unconscious again.
"You...you get out of the way..."
Only after Chen Qi punched him twice weakly did he completely let go of his worries, let go of his hand, and looked at it carefully.
"You can still beat me, it really is okay."
Chen Qi laughed weakly.
The doctor was right. It would be great if he woke up.
You can eat when you wake up, and you will feel better after eating.
Xiao Ling also stayed in the room for two days. When she saw Chen Qi woke up, she had already prepared warm porridge.
Xie Yuduo sat beside the bed, took the bowl of porridge from Xiao Ling's hand, and fed her mouthful by mouthful.
Xiao Ling handed over the bowl and walked around the room, packing her things without looking over here, but Chen Qi still felt uncomfortable.
"Put the bowl here, I can eat by myself."
Xie Yuduo was determined not to do so.
Chen Qi simply closed her mouth and decided not to eat.
Xie Yuduo stretched out one hand and carefully pinched her nose. When she couldn't help but open her mouth, he continued to feed her with his other hand.
He is really cunning!
You run and I chase. After finishing a bowl of porridge, Chen Qi's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body indeed became lighter.
Seeing that she was in better spirits, Xie Yuduo didn't dare let her sleep any longer. He simply sent Xiao Ling back with the bowl of porridge, closed the door, and sat sideways on the pillow, letting his beloved lie in his arms and talk.
"You've been sleeping the past two days, and you've been talking, but I can't hear you clearly. Are you dreaming?"
"Um."
Chen Qi lay in his arms, head slightly lowered, making low sounds in response.
"What did you dream about?"
Chen Qi's thoughts drifted back to her dreams, and the scenes in her dreams made her heart palpitate.
The piles of bones that formed into a mountain, the pale skeletons that made her hair stand on end, the rivers of blood that covered the ground, the bloody smell that filled the air, making her feel sick, and then there was the crying baby, and no matter how she tried to comfort him, it didn't stop...
She didn't say a word, just spoke softly.
"I dreamed about my mother."
Xie Yuduo's heart softened, and he hugged her tightly, gently stroking her hair.
"If you don't wake up, I'm going to ask my mother-in-law and father-in-law to come over and have them take a good look at you. Then, I'll kneel before them, kowtow, and admit that I didn't take good care of you. Finally, I'll ask them to allow me to take you to the provincial capital to see a doctor..."
Chen Qi recovered from the nightmare and couldn't help laughing when she heard his foolish words.
"You're still laughing, I'm speaking from the heart."
Xie Yuduo's tone was serious, not at all like he was joking or teasing her as usual.
Shen Qi tried hard to suppress her smile, looking into his eyes with a gentle tone.
"I'm fine, really."
He gently rubbed her cheek, his palms feeling warm, and then he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her, sighing with satisfaction.
"You don't know how scared I am."
Only at this moment did a hint of fatigue appear in his voice.
Chen Qi's face was deformed by his rubbing, and she spoke weakly.
"I haven't washed my face for three days..."
Hearing this, Xie Yuduo smiled slightly and didn't care at all.
"It's okay. I haven't washed in three days."
Chen Qi immediately stood up from his arms, pulled herself away a little, with a look of disgust on her face, but was taken advantage of and grabbed and kissed hard again.
"Come, let me hold you for a while. I'll definitely go take a shower later."
Chen Qi still had a look of disgust on her face, but she lay back down obediently.
Quite reassuring.
