Chapter 446: It's so trivial, don't you think I'm troublesome?
A storm that had worried Aunt Xie and others for a long time disappeared at the request of Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu.
Old Qi seemed tired, his face full of fatigue. He did not go to the carriage that Sang Zhixia had arranged for him. Instead, he got on the carriage where Qi Yan'er's spirit tablet was placed alone. There was no sound coming from the carriage.
Sang Zhixia opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, then looked at Xu Yu and chose to remain silent.
Xu Yu raised his hand and gestured backwards, saying calmly, "Rest for another hour, and then we'll set off in an hour!"
Aunt Xie was originally filled with worry, but when she saw Mr. Qi being appeased, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh, "You still have a solution."
If it were someone else today, Mr. Qi would definitely not cooperate like this.
Sang Zhixia smiled bitterly and said, "How could it be that I have a solution? It's obvious that the old man is reluctant to go against Sister Yan'er's wishes."
Qi Yan'er hopes that he is alive, and there is a high probability that Old Qi will survive.
At best, Sang Zhixia can be considered a supporting role.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Aunt Xie's eyes, and she didn't know what to say. Sang Zhixia thought for a moment and whispered, "The old man just woke up and his stomach is empty. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle dry food. Before he leaves, make some rice porridge that's easy to digest."
Aunt Xie bowed her head and said yes. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Sang Zhixia say, "Forget it. I'll go."
Mr. Qi may not enjoy food cooked by others.
It’s already this late, so it doesn’t matter if we have a bowl of porridge.
Because we were on the road and were taking a temporary rest in the wilderness, we didn't light a fire today.
Seeing Sang Zhixia rolled up her sleeves, Xu Yu went to pick up stones and build a stove without saying a word.
Sang Zhixia did not let anyone interfere with the whole process of washing the rice and putting it into the pot. He took a banana leaf that Xu Yu had broken off and fanned the stove mouth, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Xu Yu grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her clean, then pulled her aside: "Just come and watch from the side. Give this to me."
Sang Zhixia's hands were empty. She sat on a rock and wiped her forehead, frowning from the heat. "Is it going to rain? Otherwise, why do I feel so stuffy?"
Xu Yu looked at Sang Zhixia, whose face was flushed from the heat, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhizhi, is it really that hot?"
Sang Zhixia nodded absentmindedly, looking at the sky above her head, which clearly had no sun at all, and said in confusion, "I just feel so dry."
"Do you still have the fruit you picked? Can you give me a few more?"
Xu Yu had lost the fruit, but he remembered where he had picked it and could go back.
But Xu Yu thought of Sang Zhixia saying she wanted to go to the river to wash her face and didn't dare go there alone. He wanted to keep an eye on Sang Zhixia and not let her go.
After being told the place clearly, Lingchu ran into the woods, and the rice porridge in the pot gradually emitted a faint rice fragrance.
There was nothing good to eat in the wilderness, so Sang Zhixia simply cracked two eggs and a little salt into the porridge. When the porridge was ready, Xu Yu didn't let Sang Zhixia serve it herself, but followed Sang Zhixia with the bowl in his hand.
"Mr. Qi, please eat something."
Sang Zhixia didn't rashly lift the car curtain. Instead, she knocked on the edge of the window and whispered, "You haven't eaten anything for several days. Eat some rice porridge first. I'll prepare something you like when we get there in the evening."
The curtain of the car was slowly lifted from the inside, and Mr. Qi's mood had calmed down a lot.
Seeing the pair standing side by side with porridge in hand, Old Qi's eyes were full of complexities: "I am just an old thing half buried in the ground. You will only be a burden if you take me with you."
"Don't you think I'm bothering you with such trivial matters?"
"What's the trouble?"
Sang Zhixia took the bowl from Xu Yu, handed it to him with both hands, and said, "Just eat a little and take care of yourself, and then nothing will be a problem."
"Try it first. If it's not to your liking, I'll make it again for you."
There is nothing left for Mr. Qi to gain now.
Everything that could be handed over was given to Sang Zhixia, and Xu Yu also handed over everything that he was interested in early in the morning.
Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu could have just left him alone and not bothered themselves with all this trouble.
But the bowl of rice porridge in front of me had a faint aroma and was the most ordinary thing, but the hot steam coming out of it inexplicably burned my eyes.
Old Qi lowered his eyes and chuckled, then took the bowl from Sang Zhixia and said, "Okay, I understand."
"I want to be alone for a while, you can go and rest."
It's a good thing that you are willing to eat.
Sang Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief calmly, hooked Xu Yu's finger and took him away.
Old Qi watched the couple walk away silently, his eyes dazed.
Maybe it's different.
The girl in front of him was much smarter and more resilient than his Yan'er. The husband she chose was cold and cruel, but he only gave her some leeway. What was even more rare was his absolute respect and tolerance for her.
People like this will have a good life...
Taking into consideration that Mr. Qi might be in a bad mood, the departure time was postponed for another half an hour.
Before leaving, Sang Zhixia went to the carriage to ask Mr. Qi's opinion. After confirming that the old man had no objection, he turned around and waved to Xu Yu, "Let's go."
Xu Yu reached out to pull Sang Zhixia onto the horse.
Sang Zhixia walked to the edge, but before getting on the horse, he hesitated without warning: "Or I'd better take a car."
Xu Yu paused and said with amusement: "Didn't you say that the carriage was stuffy and hot? Now that the wind is blowing and it's cool, I'd like to take you for a ride on horseback?"
Under normal circumstances, Sang Zhixia would have grabbed the reins long ago.
But for some reason today, Sang Zhixia thought about it and shook her head and said, "Forget it."
"I don't feel like riding today."
Xu Yu jumped off his horse, put his palm on Sang Zhixia's forehead to test it, and said worriedly: "Zhizhi, are you feeling unwell?"
Sang Zhixia herself couldn't explain what was going on. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "That's not the case."
"I just suddenly didn't feel like riding anymore."
Xu Yu was very easy to talk to. He took her by the hand and walked towards the carriage: "If you don't want to ride, let's take a car."
"I'll be your pillow in the car. You can lean on me and rest for a while, okay?"
When Sang Zhixia nodded and said yes, she just wanted to deal with it so as not to make Xu Yu worry.
Unexpectedly, just after getting on the carriage and going not far, Sang Zhixia actually fell asleep leaning on Xu Yu's legs.
Xu Yu covered Sang Zhixia with a soft blanket, put his fingers on Sang Zhixia's wrist and probed, then, not knowing what was going on, lowered his head and touched Sang Zhixia's eyebrows with his forehead, the corners of his lips tightening silently.
Sang Zhixia seems to be easily tired recently.
Maybe she herself didn't realize that she had been sleeping much longer than before recently, and when she was awake she felt tired and looked listless.
And she slept very soundly after falling asleep, which was very different from her previous situation where she would wake up easily.
What on earth is going on?
Xu Yu's eyes were filled with gloom. After thinking for a moment, he called Ling Chu, who had just returned from picking fruit, to the car and asked through the window, "Do you still have the medicine that Mr. Hu prescribed?"
Ling Chu thought of the ginseng pills Sang Zhixia had given away, and lowered his head guiltily: "The boss said before that he couldn't finish so many ginseng pills himself, so he gave two bottles to Meng Pei, saying that they would nourish his brain."
Xu Yu: “…”
Xu Yu: "How come I didn't know that ginseng pills can improve your brain?"
Ling Chu swallowed in shame and didn't dare to respond.
Xu Yu tucked Sang Zhixia's hand into the blanket with a worried look on his face and said decisively, "Let's stay overnight in the town ahead."
"When we get there, let's get a doctor first."
