Chapter 460 You! Are you sick?
"Cheng Qingyan? Why are you back again?" Qi Xu looked at him with confusion. His head was already a little dizzy, and he couldn't understand why Cheng Qingyan, who had already left, came back again.
Cheng Qingyan took a few big steps with his long legs and came closer.
"Did something happen to the convoy?" Qi Xu asked.
"The convoy is fine and is heading to the sixth-class area." Cheng Qingyan responded in a deep voice.
"Oh." Qi Xu's expression relaxed. "Then is there something important that brought you back?"
Cheng Qingyan looked at her deeply and said sternly, "I promised your mother that I would protect you. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to her when I go back."
A trace of distress flashed across Qi Xu's eyes. When did this man become so close to his mother?
In the end, he didn't ask, but explained to Cheng Qingyan that he was just feeling a little unwell and it was not a big problem.
Staying away from the convoy and acting alone is also for fear of infecting other people in the convoy.
Nowadays, medicinal materials are already in short supply, and we cannot allow more people to be infected.
So, when Cheng Qingyan wanted to move forward, Qi Xu instinctively took a few steps back, but forgot about the stream behind him.
“Don’t…ah…”
Before Qi Xu could finish his words to stop him, he stepped on empty air and fell backwards.
Cheng Qingyan was quick-witted and rushed over to catch her, but Qi Xu was afraid that he would be infected by her, so he kept his distance, and in the end he was still a little bit short.
The stream was not deep, but Qi Xu's center of gravity was unstable. After he fell into the water with his back tilted, he was still completely submerged by the stream.
He fluttered his hands trying to stand up, and in his panic, he grabbed something and held on tightly to climb up.
Just when she was halfway up, someone held her waist, and in the blink of an eye, she was leaning steadily in Cheng Qingyan's arms.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Qi Xu choked when he fell into the water. After coughing violently a few times, he raised his hand to push Cheng Qingyan, "Don't get so close to me, be careful!"
Cheng Qingyan seemed not to hear what she said. He picked her up by the waist and waded towards the shore.
"Ahem... Cheng Qingyan, did you not hear me clearly?" Qi Xu was a little anxious, and his tone was raised.
Cheng Qingyan still looked calm and continued as usual, "I heard it."
Qi Xu frowned: "I heard it, why don't you put me down and stay away from me."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qingyan suddenly lowered his head, moved closer to her little face, and said in a nonchalant tone: "We're already this close. If you want to get hit, you will get hit. There's no point in leaving."
"You! Are you sick?" Qi Xu turned his face away and muttered softly.
After Cheng Qingyan put the person down, he went to the woods nearby. After a while, he picked up a pile of firewood, found a place, and lit a fire.
They also placed branches next to the fire to make it easier for Qi Xu to take off his wet clothes and dry them.
Qi Xu was already infected with the flu and was feeling very uncomfortable. Now, he fell into the water and was blown by the breeze, which was simply adding insult to injury.
Even after drying the clothes, it did not prevent her condition from getting worse.
Cheng Qingyan quickly realized that something was wrong with her. Unlike her previous energetic state, Qi Xu seemed to have suddenly wilted. She huddled up beside the stone with her arms folded, her face unusually flushed.
Qi Xu felt very dizzy. She didn't expect that the disease she had would be so severe. When she stood up, her steps were unstable and she almost fell again.
Fortunately, Cheng Qingyan caught the person firmly this time.
"In your current physical condition, you can't ride a horse by yourself." You may fall off the horse at any time.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a while." Qi Xu said stubbornly.
But in this matter, Cheng Qingyan had no say over it: "You are sick, your mind is not clear enough, and your understanding of the matter is not clear enough, so your opinion is useless."
After saying that, Cheng Qingyan picked her up and strode towards his horse.
Qi Xu was almost delirious from the fever and didn't even have the strength to struggle. For Cheng Qingyan, the force was not much different from that of a kitten scratching him.
On the way, Cheng Qingyan was afraid that she would catch a cold and her condition would worsen, so he took off his long gown and wrapped her tightly.
"I'll take you to find Yun Fu."
Qi Xu was bouncing along on the horse's back, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, and an uncomfortable moan escaped from his dry lips.
Cheng Qingyan knew that she was not feeling well, but he was not a doctor and had no way to relieve her physical pain.
He could only whisper to comfort her: "Just bear with it a little longer. Once you reach the sixth-class area, everything will be fine."
However, things did not develop as he expected, and a spring rain suddenly came halfway through the journey.
Cheng Qingyan was worried that Qi Xu's condition would worsen if he got caught in the rain, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
I had to find a cave nearby to shelter from the rain.
Qi Xu leaned in Cheng Qingyan's arms, half asleep and half awake.
When the two of them touched, Cheng Qingyan felt the scorching temperature of the back of her hand, and his face darkened even more.
He remembered that when Qi Xu was treating those people at the trading point, he once said that if the fever was severe and no intervention was made, it would likely cause damage to the brain and make the person stupid.
So Qi Xu’s current condition should be considered as having a severe fever, right?
Cheng Qingyan recalled the cooling methods that Qi Xu had mentioned. He found an open space in the cave, put the person down, and then went out of the cave. He cut some bamboo nearby and went to get some water.
When Cheng Qingyan returned to the cave, Qi Xu had already fallen asleep, with his face and neck burning red.
Cheng Qingyan wet the handkerchief with water and gently placed it on her forehead.
Change it after a while.
But the cooling effect is not very good.
Qi Xu's body was still very hot.
Cheng Qingyan stared at her unusually flushed little face, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision in his heart.
"This happened suddenly, and Cheng had no choice but to do this. I apologize, Miss Qi Xu."
Cheng Qingyan used a wet handkerchief to gently wipe Qi Xu's palms and wrists, then his neck, behind his ears, and his rolled-up sleeves...
Qi Xu's body is so well developed, even better than other girls of the same age. Even when she is lying down, the ups and downs of some parts of her body are too obvious.
Cheng Qingyan is a man, a normal man. It is impossible for him to pretend to be stupid and say that he saw nothing.
He could only tell himself again and again that the little girl in front of him was Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou's sister, so she was also his sister.
When Qi Xu woke up again, he was already on the horse.
Her back was resting on Cheng Qingyan's chest.
She remembered that she seemed to have been hiding from the rain in a cave before.
I still remember that when I was half asleep, someone gently stroked my forehead with their hand. The palm of their hand was slightly cool, which was very comfortable.
