I'm just sick

Not long after, Ling Zhi opened the door and tiptoed in.Xie Ran hastily closed his eyes, pretending not to wake up yet.

Ling Zhi looked at Xie Ran's pale and haggard handsome face, and couldn't help but gently stroked it with his hands.Xie Ran felt itchy on his face and heart when he touched it, and tried hard to keep his eyes closed tightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry." Ling Zhi murmured to himself, "But you have a big temper. I obviously didn't mean it that way, so you were stunned by my anger. With such a big temper, after getting angry Stomach pain again, isn't it you who suffers? But it doesn't matter, you can tolerate me, and I can tolerate you, at worst, I won't make you angry."

"You really like me? Actually, I like you a little too—well, not a little, but very, very—"

Xie Ran suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, looking at him without saying a word.Quite a bit like a big hooligan with a fierce look on his face.

"Thank you! You! When did you wake up! You eavesdropped on me!" Ling Zhi was shocked and almost bit his own tongue.

"Aren't you talking to me? Since you're talking to me, how can it be considered eavesdropping?"

Ling Zhi originally wanted to whisper it to himself, but he didn't expect to be heard directly by the other party, and his whole face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"Then since we are in love and have given each other tokens of love, we are now a couple, right?"

"What tokens of love are given to each other?"

"The jade pendant you asked me for when you were accidentally poisoned. Although it is not a priceless and rare treasure, it is of great significance. It is a family heirloom from my Xie family, and I will give it to my wife in the future."

"What?! It's so precious, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I'm afraid to say it out, it scares the lady I'm interested in not wanting to take it anymore." Xie Ran smiled inexplicably, and looked at Xie Ran provocatively.

Ling Zhi thought to himself: If he said so, he really wouldn't dare to ask for it.

"Then when did I give you the token of love?"

"Just now, our swords are a pair."

"I was just thinking about brothers..." Yes, why do brothers use the same sword?In fact, I do have this thought in my heart.

"Come on, lady, come and lie down with your husband-in-law for a while."

"Get out! I'm not a lady!" Ling Zhi said, but still obediently climbed onto the bed and lay down.This time, instead of lying side by side like before, Xie Ran hugged Ling Zhi in his arms. Although he secretly hugged him while he was asleep before, this feeling is completely different, because now Ling Zhi takes the initiative. She hugged his waist tightly, and carefully protected his wound, for fear of accidentally hurting him.

"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't lose my temper." Xie Ran put his chin on the top of Ling Zhi's head, "But I saw you and that Sheng Qianyu talking and laughing at the tea stand, and you still kept it from me." Said He snorted a little aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I didn't know you enough before, and I won't hide it from you in the future, okay, you jealous."

Xie Ran lightly bit Ling Zhi's ear to express his dissatisfaction.

"Speaking of which, Xiaodie's stinky girl really deserves to be punished, so what's the point of talking so much?"

"No! If it wasn't for Xiaodie, I wouldn't know this, and I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret. Not only are you not allowed to punish her, but you should also reward her well."

"So, when—when did you fall in love with me?"

Xie Ran smiled and said, "A few years ago, I was not a Zhongshu Ling at that time. During the royal autumn hunting, I saw the young general in fresh clothes and angry horse, and it was love at first sight."

"So you are so stupid, risking your life for someone who doesn't know you at all? Everyone says Xie Zhongshu is extremely smart, but I think you are the most idiot in the world."

Xie Ran held him in his arms, and said softly, "The infatuation is used on you, there is no wrong payment."

Ling Zhi didn't speak, and the hand holding Xie Ran's waist was even stronger.

"You said that you are so good, why would you be willing to be scolded as a traitor by someone pointing at your spine?"

"Because everyone has their own role, I am not very noble, I just have a little conscience."

"Not so noble? Isn't it noble enough when you don't want to die for the people of Xunzhou? Even those courtiers who claim to be loyal, not everyone can do it."

"I was so happy and confused that I forgot the business." Xie Ran said loudly, "Xiaodie! Send the order and leave in half an hour!"

"No! I don't agree! Xie Ran, let alone whether you can walk, can you sit up by yourself now?"

"Why not?" He was about to get up as he said that, but with a little effort, the wound felt a sharp pain, and with the excessive blood loss, he felt dizzy when he sat up a little bit.

"Are you desperate? Lie down honestly!"

"I can't die again, it's just a little more uncomfortable, just bear with it and it will pass. I must leave immediately, and this matter is not discussed."

"Really can't discuss anymore?"

"No discussion."

"Oh, I really can't do anything about you." Ling Zhi said helplessly.

Just when Xie Ran nodded in satisfaction, Ling Zhi made a sudden move and slashed Xie Ran's neck with a hand knife. Xie Ran's vision went dark and passed out immediately.

Ling Zhi muttered to himself, "There's no other way. Since we didn't discuss this matter, we can only resolve it by force."

"Master Imperial Physician, do you have any prescriptions that can nourish Qi and blood?" Ling Zhi stopped the imperial physician, "If there is a prescription for calming the nerves and helping sleep, and it must have no side effects on the body, then I will also have one. "

"That's really a coincidence. I have an ancestral prescription, which is very effective in nourishing qi and blood. But, the only drawback is that after taking the medicine, I will fall asleep for a day and a night."

"That would be wonderful. Please prepare a bowl."

When Ling Zhi brought the medicine in, Xie Ran was still awake.Of course, it's not that Ling Zhi is too aggressive, he has always been very measured.It's because Xie Ran's body is really too tired, a little excuse can make his body go on strike.

Ling Zhi picked up the medicine and took a sip by himself, then kissed Xie Ran's thin lips, and poured all the medicine into his mouth.

In fact, Xie Ran is the kind of person who can easily feed him medicine even when he is unconscious, but Ling Zhi just wants to feed him like this.He had seen it in picture books before, and he wanted to try it. He really didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to try it. Sure enough, he has a husband, ah bah, it is good to have a daughter-in-law.

When Xie Ran woke up again, it was actually not much later than when he was knocked out.It was noon then, and it is still noon now.So he fainted for a while?

But after waking up, he was really refreshed, the feeling of weakness and dizziness from excessive blood loss was relieved a lot, and he didn't feel cold all over.

Although still a little dizzy and nauseous, and the wound still hurts...a wound?Why did his wounds tend to scab over such a short period of time?Xie Ran finally realized.

"System, how long have I been asleep?"

【You slept for a day and a night. 】

"Ling Zhi!" Xie Ran recharged his energy for a day and a night, at this time he had a lot of energy, and his voice trembled three times on the whole floor.

Ling Zhi quickly ran up with a bowl of noodles, "Are you awake? Come on, eat a bowl of noodles. You woke up in less than half an hour, and you haven't ready lunch yet. You can eat a bowl of noodles to pad your stomach first." .”

"Half an hour?"

"That's right, I used my strength very measuredly, and you can see that it didn't hurt you."

"No, don't you think I was beaten stupid by you?"

"what?"

"So stupid that I can't tell the difference between yesterday and today?!"

After a long while, Ling Zhi said, "You have discovered all of this, so it's for you to have a good rest. I asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine for nourishing qi and blood, but the side effect is drowsiness. How is it better?" "

"After half an hour, we have to leave. Do you dare to knock me out again?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, let's eat first." Ling Zhi said as he served the noodles.

The system prompt sounded immediately.

"Go get me a bowl of unmedicated."

"What medicine?" Ling Zhi pretended to be stupid.

"I know you're doing my best, but I'm really fine, don't worry. The people of Xunzhou are still waiting for us." Xie Ran's dedication to the people cannot be broken.

Although he really wanted to eat this bowl of noodles, after all, he was really hungry, and he really wanted to sleep unscrupulously again.But no!He is still a good officer.

"It can be found that you grew up so smart by what you ate, okay, okay, I'll get you another bowl."

Hurrying all the way, when finally arrived in Xunzhou, Xie Ran felt that half of his life was gone.After stumbling out of the carriage, he vomited again, even after drinking some water, he vomited it all up.

Ling Zhi got out of the car after him, and he was used to putting his hand on Xie Ran's stomach naturally.Xie Ran immediately called out the system to turn on the stomach cramps.

"Convulsions again?" Ling Zhi touched Xie Ran's upper abdomen, feeling the constant twitching and throbbing of his stomach, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

"It's okay, just bear with it and it'll pass." Xie Ran comforted softly, as if it wasn't him but Ling Zhi who had the stomachache.

The inn was prepared by the prefect a long time ago, and it is far away from the epidemic area. After all, everyone is afraid that something will happen to Xie Zhongshu here, and no one can bear the responsibility.

The prefect and others have been waiting for Xie Zhongshu to drive for a long time, Xie Ran skipped the welcome banquet and began to understand the situation of the disaster.

"My lord, the lower officials temporarily sealed off the epidemic area, and the patients gathered together. Although the medicines made by the medical workers were distributed, they were not very suitable and had little effect. The lower officials are incompetent, and the isolation work cannot be completed."

"So so far, has anyone survived the infection?"

"Out of the twenty patients, at most one or two survived. Within a few hours after being infected, symptoms of high fever, severe vomiting, confusion, and then convulsions and coma occurred, and death would occur within a few days. From five to ten days."

"How many people are currently infected and what is the route of infection?"

"My lord, the number of people infected in the most severely affected counties has already exceeded half, and the total number of people infected in Xunzhou has also accounted for less than half, and the trend is still increasing. The way of infection - the epidemic ghost is pervasive, probably spread by air. "

Xie Ran couldn't help frowning. People in this era believe in the so-called "Qi" by ghosts. To put it bluntly, they don't know that they will be infected anyway. This is a fairly high infection rate and death is almost certain after infection.

"I brought the imperial doctor and many medical workers from the capital, as well as a lot of medicinal materials. Prefect Tian, ​​let those local medical workers in Xunzhou come and develop prescriptions with these medical workers."

"Yes, I'll go and arrange it now." Prefect Tian suddenly remembered something, and said cautiously, "My lord, in fact, this place is not very safe. Many patients have not been isolated. My lord, please take care of your health. It is best to stay in the inn." safer."

Indeed, on the way here, the doors of every house were closed, and even many corpses and patients could be seen on the road.Such a severe infectious disease cannot be completely isolated with the technology of this era.This is one of the cities with the lightest disease, and even in such a field, it is estimated that the number of infected patients is far more than what Tian Taishou said.

After Xie Ran made arrangements for the medical staff and medicinal materials, he began to arrange the opening of warehouses for disaster relief.He didn't put political achievements first and was in a hurry to provide food, but first checked the accounts carefully.Although disaster relief is important, if there is no honest official, the unlucky people will be the people in the end.

There is nothing wrong with the accounts at first glance.Xie Ran checked carefully again, and found that the amount of grain in the granary was wrong, and he knew that someone must be greedy for ink without asking.

Tian Taishou stood beside him in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that Xie Ran, who is said to be in disorder, would care so much about the people's livelihood and the community.I thought it was just a formality sent by the imperial court. The Xunzhou mountain was high and the emperor was far away. It didn't matter to him to take some quietly.

Xie Ran's face became more and more gloomy, and Ling Zhi couldn't help but squeeze his hand quietly, fearing that he would be angry with him again and suffer again when he went back.

"No food to help? What a no food to help!"

Tian Qing's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees trembling.

"Human life is at stake, in your eyes, it is not as good as this little money?" Xie Ran said angrily, "Come here! The prefect Tian Qing is corrupt and broke the law, and he will be sent to the prison to be punished!"

On the same day, Xie Ran found a large amount of grain, gold and silver in Tian Qing's cellar. These grains, together with Xie Ran's guards, personally escorted them, and immediately opened a warehouse to help the people.

"Are you okay? You have a stomachache again, don't you?" Ling Zhi looked at Xie Ran's pale face and couldn't help feeling worried.I really wanted to drag the prefect out to beat him up. Xie Ran hurried all the way to deliver food and medical workers in the capital earlier, but Tian Qing, that dog official, did not help the people for his own self-interest and kept crying about being poor. Food is available for relief.It made Xie Ran angry, and he would have a stomachache when he got angry.

"It doesn't matter to me. I don't have time to investigate now. Tian Qing is definitely not the only one who is greedy for ink among the officials in Xunzhou. I'm afraid they are all the same."

"My lord, you go back to the inn to rest first, as long as there are subordinates and others here."

This opening of warehouses to release grain is no different than other disasters, it is a pervasive plague, and it is difficult to determine whether there are any sick people among these people.Xie Ran was watching the execution of the relief in person, but the guards all urged him to go back, worrying that something might happen to him.

"The official's life is fate, isn't everyone's life not human life? This official will not leave."

After receiving the food, most of the people hurried home to cook for their families or patients.There will also be a small number of people who will stay and thank you for your kindness.

Xie Ran stood aside and continued to comfort the people, encouraging everyone to be strong and hopeful.After all, if there is hope, it can reduce the probability of suicide due to mental breakdown and despair, and it can also reduce the occurrence of riots.So Xie Ran stayed here and couldn't leave.

Ling Zhi has been paying attention to Xie Ran's state, and soon found that he has gradually changed from standing up straight to leaning against the wall behind without any trace.

"Let's do this today, okay? You're tired, and you're still injured. Let's go back."

"No, I'll stick to it."

"Look, in front of so many people, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you were knocked out by me?"

"you!"

Xie Ran had no choice but to compromise, he was injured and had really stood for too long, he was dizzy, plus he had a fit of anger, and the cramping pain in his stomach never stopped.

Just when Ling Zhi supported Xie Ran and walked a few steps forward, a sudden accident happened, a woman in ragged clothes and messy hair rushed over, laughing wildly while running, a knife wound on her hand was bleeding, The guards were all there to help the disaster, and a moment of negligence made her run in front of Xie Ran.

"You dog officials! Hahahahahahaha! You all have to die! You all have to die!" The woman laughed madly, "Why don't you give out food when there is always food! You don't have a good thing! Pity my sons and daughters to die of starvation and sickness! Let's all go to be buried with you! Let's all go to die!"

Seeing that her face was obviously infected with the plague, the contagious blood was still splashing from her palm.

Unable to escape, Xie Ran hugged Ling Zhi tightly in his arms without even thinking about it.The woman had already leaned forward, the blood splashed on Xie Ran's official robe, as well as on his back and the wound running through his abdomen.
