Chapter 4 You are trying to scam me!
Eat and drink happily.
When it was late at night and they were about to stay in the wilderness, this group of people who were not used to the class change were still making a fuss!
Sang Zhixia grabbed the dry steamed bun in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
It doesn't matter what the situation is. It's good enough to be able to stutter.
She is not picky about weight, silent and too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs, but Xu Yu is not like that.
He was constantly forced to move around among all sorts of crying people.
Before Sang Zhixia could swallow the steamed bun in his mouth, a water bag appeared at his feet.
Xu Yu threw down the water bag and left, half squatting to pick up the steamed bun that was thrown on the ground.
He brushed off the dust on the steamed bun and handed over another clean one in his arms.
"Grandma, we still have a long way to go. Please eat something."
"Is this food for humans?!"
The old lady angrily clapped her hands and gritted her teeth, "I don't want this! Ask someone to bring me something else!"
Xu Yu held the steamed bun for a long time without moving, biting his jaw and finally gave a bitter smile.
"Only this."
"Then I'd rather starve to death than eat!"
Xu Yu tightened his lips in an ambiguous manner, and there was a commotion from his mother's side again.
"Ah! There's a bug!"
"There are bugs here!"
Yu'er put down his steamed bun and went to help kill the insects.
After the insects were exterminated, the stepmother-in-law continued to cry while holding her two young children. Xu Yu comforted her with a few words and then ran over to check on the old man.
We have been on the road of exile for a whole day, but the old man still hasn't woken up.
Sang Zhixia finished eating a steamed bun, but Xu Yu was still running around.
Anyone who could still breathe here was calling out for him, as if the name Xu Yu was very valuable at this moment, and they would not let him go.
Sang Zhixia thought about it and simply walked over with the water bag.
To be fair, apart from causing her exile, Xu Yu did not do much to wrong her.
When she was pulling Sang Bingrou, this person even helped to cover for her.
It’s not impossible to lend a hand.
"Hey."
"Have a drink of water."
No one can bear it anymore. Xu Yu can't be made of iron.
Xu Yu, who was half-squatting on the ground, reacted a little slowly. He shook his head vigorously when he heard the sound. When he looked up and saw that it was her, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but his eyes were inexplicably distracted.
Seeing this, Sang Zhixia felt something was wrong: "Are you okay?"
"I……"
Duang!
People pounded the ground and dust rose.
Xu Yu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground.
Sang Zhixia's mind suddenly became empty.
Good man, you are trying to scam me!
"Xu Yu?"
"Xu Yu, are you okay?!"
She tried shaking it a few times but got no response. She turned around and shouted anxiously, "Xu Yu has fainted!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Sang Zhixia really raised her voice as loud as she could, but apart from her mother-in-law who came crawling and crying, and her two younger brothers and sisters who were scared and crying, the rest of the people just looked on coldly.
Uncle Xu sneered, "What's wrong with fainting? You've ruined the Xu family like this, and you still think you're a precious prince?"
"It's a long journey to the northwest, so it's normal to feel dizzy from time to time. What are you doing all this fussing about?"
The old lady, with a grim expression, once again threw the steamed bun that Xu Yu had handed her away and said coldly, "Yeah, what's there to be nervous about?"
Apart from them, everyone else looked indifferent.
"you……"
Xu Wenxiu looked at her family members who were speaking harshly to her in disbelief. Her fragile heart shattered, and she threw herself on Xu Yu and burst into tears, "Yu'er!"
"Your father is gone. If anything happens to you, how will your mother live?"
"Yu'er, you..."
"He's not dead yet!"
Sang Zhixia pushed her away with a dark face, and quickly put his trembling hand on Xu Yu's neck to make sure he was still alive. He exhaled sharply and ran towards the frowning jailer.
She had seen Xu Yu talking to the jailer while hiding in the corner before, and he seemed familiar with him.
This road might be passable!
Without even taking a breath, she said, "Sir, Xu Yu has vomited blood and fainted. Can you help me think of a solution?"
The jailer said embarrassmently: "It's just the first day since leaving Kyoto. There are so many people watching us from behind. If..."
"Or maybe you should just stand up for a bit."
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we definitely cannot hire a doctor.
Sang Zhixia wasn't surprised by this answer. She turned around and gritted her teeth before saying, "Then can you let me go look for some herbs in the woods over there?"
"I promise not to cause you any trouble. I'll come back as soon as I find it."
She didn't know medicine, but she learned a lot of self-help methods in an orphanage when she was young. Later, she studied for a doctorate in agronomy and learned a lot of herbs.
It was obvious that Xu Yu's blood circulation was blocked due to his extreme anger. If he could find some herbs that could relieve the anger, he might be able to be saved.
Seeing that the jailer was hesitant, Sang Zhixia simply turned his back to everyone and took out a thumb-sized pearl from his sleeve.
She stuffed the pearls she had plucked from the phoenix corona into the jailer's hand and said with a wry smile, "Sir, please help me."
"If he just stays unconscious like this, he won't be able to move tomorrow without someone to carry him, and won't our journey be delayed?"
"I'll go find some herbs to feed him first. After a few days, when the sting is gone, I can call a doctor for him."
The jailer held the burning pearl in his hand, looked at the half-dead Xu Yu, and said with a hard heart, "Okay!"
"But I have to go with you!"
Sang Zhixia had no objection to following the guard, and immediately took the jailer into the woods.
Fortunately, it is midsummer now and the grass and trees are lush.
It didn't take long for her to find what she wanted. She ran back and decisively wrapped the thorny grass leaves in her hand with the hem of her clothes and crushed them. She pried open Xu Yu's mouth, squeezed out the green juice in the hem of her clothes and dripped it into his mouth.
Xu Yu clenched his teeth tightly, and since it was the first time for Sang Zhixia to be fed medicine in this way, the black and green juice flowed all over his neck.
Xu Wenxiu looked at her as if she had lost her soul, repeating this action. After a long while, she pushed her hard: "What are you doing?!"
"What did you feed Yu'er?!"
Sang Zhixia was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground, falling flat on her face. She immediately became angry.
"If we don't feed him this way, he might die!"
She didn't want to get involved, but the journey to the northwest was so long, and the only person who remembered to hand her the water bag was Xu Yu.
If Xu Yu died, how could she, a newly widow, get any good luck?
These people could eat her alive!
Sang Zhixia got up with a dark face, and when Xu Wenxiu was about to stop her, she said, "Mother-in-law, you don't want your son to die, and I don't want to be a widow."
"So I won't hurt him, okay?"
Xu Wenxiu seemed to be still not used to her role as a mother-in-law, and she cried like a leaky sieve.
But Sang Zhixia didn't bother to talk any more nonsense with her.
She crushed all the wild grass she picked into juice and squeezed it into Xu Yu's mouth, even the juice that flowed down his neck was not spared.
After twisting off all the weeds, she grabbed Xu Yu's hand and pierced his index finger with the sharp thorn, squeezing his finger hard to force out the blood.
But even until her eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, Xu Yu, whose face was as pale as paper, still did not wake up.
He seemed to have really fallen asleep like this...
Sang Zhixia was still worried before she lost consciousness.
When she was awakened by the sudden light of day, she reached out and touched the person who had been lying next to her last night, but she didn't touch him. She sat up in shock: "Xu Yu?!"
