Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

When they went back, the mood of several people was much more relaxed. There was no need to take the exam. Although it was a bit regrettable, Gu Xihe was less in danger of being exposed.Therefore, they walked slowly and casually on the way back.When the weather is good, they will walk more, and when the weather is bad or they are afraid of missing the destination, they will walk less.

Zhang Chi's heart was actually anxious and worried. He was afraid that something would happen to Gu Xihe on the road, but he was also afraid that if he was in a hurry, Gu Xihe's body would not be able to bear it.With such contradictions, they walked most of the distance, and they will arrive at Yunshan Academy in about four or five days.

Naturally, they will not go home, and they will definitely be exposed when they return home.

It's just that there are unpredictable things in the sky. This day is originally sunny and sunny, and I don't want it to be stormy in the blink of an eye.To make matters worse, after walking for half a day, there was no village or shelter from the rain.

The rain was so heavy that Tan Shi couldn't see clearly, so he went the wrong way, and he didn't find a small village until evening.

In August, when the sun is shining during the day, it feels very hot, but once it is windy and rainy, it is a bit cold again.

What worried Zhang Chi finally happened, Gu Xihe caught a cold.It was just a runny nose at first, so Zhang Chi hurriedly made ginger soup for him to drink, and let him cover his sweat.In the morning of the next day, Gu Xihe felt that nothing was wrong and continued on his way, but in the afternoon he developed a fever.

Because of the fever, Gu Xi and the baby in his belly also became restless, and he felt very uncomfortable lying down.Zhang Chi was very nervous, and after discussing with Tan Shi and Lu Zixiu, he stopped in a small town called Maoling.

After settling down in an inn, Zhang Chi went to invite a doctor.The innkeeper told him that the town was too small and there was only one doctor in the town.

The appearance of the doctor named Chen Dagui was somewhat beyond Zhang Chi's expectation. He is in his 50s, with a short and fat body, a few short beards under his chin, and wearing a gray robe.When looking at people, he raised his chin high and looked arrogant.

Zhang Chi didn't care about his arrogant attitude.As long as Gu Xihe can be cured, even if his tail goes up to the sky, he can bear it.But when Chen Dagui saw the obscene expression on Gu Xihe's face, he really gritted his teeth.

He stretched out his hand to pull down the bed curtain, to block the disgusting gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Chen, you just need to feel the pulse."

Only then did Chen Dagui come back to his senses, and nodded repeatedly.

He finally finished the prescription, squinting his eyes slightly and said: "Your Madam is fine, she just caught a cold. I will prescribe a few prescriptions for him, and he will be fine after eating."

Zhang Chi picked up the prescription, only glanced at it twice, and became angry.

He slammed Fangzi on the table, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Dagui by the collar, and said angrily, "Will you see a doctor? Huh? My wife is pregnant, how dare you give him these medicines?"

Zhang Chi's gaze seemed to want to eat people.

Chen Dagui trembled with fright and stuttered, "Madam, Madam is pregnant?"

His eyes turned to the bed again, Zhang Chi was even more angry, and dragged him out.

Just meeting Lu Zixiu who came in, Lu Zixiu wondered: "Zhang Chi, what's going on?"

Zhang Chi gritted his teeth and said, "This quack doctor, can you see what medicine he gave Xihe?"

Lu Zixiu took the prescription, but didn't see anything.

"Is there anything wrong with this recipe?"

Zhang Chidao didn't expect that Lu Zixiu didn't know anything about medicine. He reached out to take the piece of paper and said angrily, "Look at these two flavors, ephedra, citrus aurantium, how can Xihe be used by this body?"

Lu Zixiu patted his head and looked at Zhang Chi suspiciously, "Do you know medicine?"

"I don't understand……"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Dagui next to him became proud again, "Since you don't know medicine, why do you say my prescription is wrong?"

Zhang Chi grabbed his collar and raised his voice, "I just don't understand, but I also know that this medicine is not right!"

"Brother Chi."

Hearing their dispute, Gu Xihe couldn't help but say, "Brother Chi, show me the prescription."

Zhang Chi snorted coldly at Liu Dagui, and entered the room with the prescription.

Gu Xihe doesn't understand medicine either, but he has read a lot and understands a little bit, "This medicine is indeed inappropriate. Brother Chi, forget it, don't embarrass him, let's find another doctor."

"But……"

Zhang Chi was in a dilemma, there was only such a doctor in this small town!

Seeing his hesitant to speak, Gu Xihe guessed something.He sighed in a low voice, "Brother Chi, you took away the ephedra and aurantium aurantium, it should be the prescription for treating wind and cold, you go get the medicine!"

Zhang Chi was worried, "Is this possible? Isn't traditional Chinese medicine about the monarch and ministers adjuvanting medicine?"

"Brother Chi is right. Although I don't know much about medicine, these medicines should be for treating wind and cold."

Zhang Chi sighed, "That's the only way."

He went out of the back room, saw that Chen Dagui was still there, and snorted coldly, "Why don't you leave?"

Chen Dagui lost his arrogance just now, but he was still stubborn, "You haven't paid me yet!"

Zhang Chi grabbed his collar again, and said viciously, "Go, grab the medicine! If you dare to play tricks, I won't spare you!"

Chen Dagui's face suddenly changed, begging for mercy again and again, "No, I won't."

When he arrived at the pharmacy, Zhang Chi watched the waiter grab the medicine without blinking his eyes, and after making sure there was no problem, he gave Chen Dagui the money.

When I left, I didn't forget to warn him, "If your medicine doesn't work, I will come again!"

Chen Dagui shrank at the back door of the counter, not daring to say a word.

Zhang Chi boiled the medicine, gave it to Gu Xihe to drink, and made him drink a bowl of porridge before letting him lie down and rest.Gu Xihe's body was very hot, Zhang Chi was nervous about him, and even more nervous about the child in his stomach.

Zhang Chi didn't sleep all night, and kept testing the temperature of Gu Xihe's forehead. In the middle of the night, the fever subsided a little, but it returned in the morning.

Zhang Chi walked back and forth, muttering, "No! This can't be done! Xihe, this should be Gucheng, why don't I go to Gucheng and invite Dr. Liu to come over."

Gu Xihe shook his head, "Brother Chi, if you invited Dr. Liu over, wouldn't you be revealing yourself?"

"But," Zhang Chi scratched his hair, "I can't take care of it now! If you have trouble with the child, what do you want me to do?"

"Brother Chi, it's not that serious."

"It's not serious, when is it serious?"

Ever since the two were honest with each other, Zhang Chi had never spoken loudly to Gu Xihe, but at this moment he suddenly got angry, and Gu Xihe shut his mouth.

Zhang Chi turned his head around the room twice before saying, "I'll go find Chen Dagui again! Let him show you again."

Gu Xihe couldn't help shouting at him, so he could only sigh.In fact, he is also afraid, afraid that something will happen to the child.He put his hands on his obviously protruding belly, feeling the child's restlessness, and his mood became agitated.

Lu Zixiu and Tan Shi were also worried about him, and they visited him several times a day, which made Gu Xihe feel very sorry.

"Zixiu, Brother Tan, I've delayed you."

Lu Zixiu's face darkened, "Xihe, what are you talking about? The reason why we went to the imperial capital together is to take care of you, isn't it? Don't think too much about it, take good care of your illness and get better soon. It's serious."

Gu Xihe knew that if he said it again, he would be born, but he really felt guilty.

Lu Zixiu said: "Xihe, Zhang Chi is also nervous about you. If he speaks badly, don't bother with him."

Gu Xihe asked strangely: "You actually speak for him?"

Lu Zixiu rubbed his nose, "Actually, I think Zhang Chi is not bad."

Gu Xihe laughed, "Of course, why is my vision so bad?"

Zhang Chi grabbed Chen Dagui again, and Chen Dagui felt Gu Xihe's pulse tremblingly, and it took a long time before he said: "Madam, Madam's illness has already surfaced, I, I want to open another prescription."

Zhang Chi said loudly: "You have to think about it!"

"Yes Yes."

Chen Dagui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and slowly wrote a prescription.

Zhang Chi looked at it for a long time, but didn't see any problem.

Gu Xihe drank the medicine and fell asleep again.The body is still hot, but the medicine has been drunk, and Zhang Chi has nothing to do.He could only stay by Gu Xihe's side and use every method he could think of to physically cool him down.

The afternoon passed fairly smoothly, but at night, Gu Xihe had a fever again, his face was flushed, his breathing was short of breath, but he didn't have a drop of sweat on his body.

Zhang Chi called out his name nervously, "Xihe, Xihe, what do you think?"

Gu Xihe opened his eyes in a daze, and then closed them weakly.

Zhang Chi was frightened, and the voice that called him changed.

Lu Zixiu and Tan Shi slept next door, and they heard Zhang Chi's call.Lu Zixiu rushed over wearing his coat, "Zhang Chi, what's wrong with Xihe?"

Zhang Chi felt that he had never cried since he could remember, but seeing Gu Xihe's appearance, his eyes kept getting hot.

"Zixiu, Xihe's fever has not subsided, what should I do now!"

Lu Zixiu looked at him, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were deep dark circles under his eyes. Counting, Zhang Chi didn't have a good rest for two days and two nights.Even when he and Tan Shi were taking care of Gu Xihe for him, he would sleep on the chair and never leave Gu Xihe's room for a moment.

Looking at Zhang Chi like this, Lu Zixiu was also very moved, just like what Gu Xihe said, his vision is really good.

He sighed, and said softly: "Zhang Chi, Brother Tan has already rode to Gucheng to invite Doctor Liu. If they hurry up, they will be back by tomorrow night at the latest."

Zhang Chi touched Gu Xihe's hot and dry cheeks, and murmured: "There is still one day and one night, can Xihe wait?"

Lu Zixiu felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but he said loudly: "Zhang Chi, Xihefu is very lucky, everything will be fine!"

Zhang Chi subconsciously closed his mouth, but looked at Gu Xihe without blinking.

After a long time, he whispered: "I shouldn't have let him take the exam. No matter what, he should be left on the mountain."

Lu Zixiu patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "It's not like you don't know Xihe's temper, you can't stop him."

"But what should we do now?"

Zhang Chi's tears finally fell, Chen Dagui couldn't count on it, and who could save Xihe?

Suddenly, a cough came from outside the house, and then a somewhat familiar voice sounded.Although it was outside the house, it clearly reached the ears of Zhang Chi and Lu Zixiu.

"Hey! I told you that when you have difficulties, you must come to me. Why don't you listen? It's hard to be a good person!"

"Who?"

Lu Zixiu got up and rushed out. When he saw the person under the moonlight clearly, his eyes widened, "Why are you?"

"Why can't it be me?"

The old man who had been with them before walked into the house with square steps.

Zhang Chi had heard the voice a long time ago, but he didn't turn his head. At this moment, he only had Gu Xihe in his eyes and heart, and the other people and things had nothing to do with him.

The old man looked at Gu Xihe on the bed, and sighed, "Why haven't we seen him for a few days, this kid has changed?"

He stepped forward a few steps and reached out to grab Gu Xihe's wrist.

Zhang Chi glared at him suddenly, glaring, "What are you doing?"

The old man smiled faintly, "If you want to kill him and the child in your womb, stop me from seeing him."

Lu Zixiu came to his senses at this moment, the old man must have come here for Gu Xihe, right?

He grabbed Zhang Chi and said in a low voice: "Xihe, let him try! Maybe he can cure Xihe!"

"he?"

Zhang Chi looked at the old man, the old man seemed to be a different person, with a navy blue cloak and a black gown inside, his figure was straight, and he seemed to have grown a lot taller.

As soon as Zhang Chi was distracted, he was pulled aside by Lu Zixiu, and the old man took the opportunity to sit beside Gu Xihe.

He first concentrated on his pulse for a while, and then brushed it away to remove the quilt from Gu Xihe's body.

Zhang Chi said angrily: "What are you doing?"

The old man didn't turn his head back, "Treat him."

While talking, he took out a box from his pocket, and took out a row of silver needles from it. He shot like the wind, and soon, Gu Xihe's wrists, arms, and chest were all pierced with silver needles.

Lu Zixiu pressed Zhang Chi tightly to prevent him from rushing over.Like Zhang Chi, he watched the old man's movements without blinking.

After the last needle was inserted, the old man suddenly called out, "Zhang Chi, do you still have the pills I gave you earlier?"

Zhang Chi didn't expect the old man to call him, subconsciously said: "Yes."

As he spoke, he took out the small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"Feed him a black pill."

Zhang Chi opened the porcelain bottle, poured out the pills, and found three pills of different colors, one black, one red, and one white.He hesitated a little, but he met the old man's firm gaze, then looked at Gu Xihe's flushed face, he gritted his teeth and walked over.

He helped Gu Xihe up, hugged him in his arms, and said softly, "Xihe, take your medicine."

Then feed the black pill into his mouth, and Lu Zixiu handed him the cup beside him.

Gu Xihe swallowed the medicine and water in a daze.

The old man said again: "Get hot water and towels!"

"Okay! I'll go right away."

Lu Zixiu quickly came in with a basin of hot water, and the old man said, "Take off his shirt and wash his body with hot water."

Lu Zixiu agreed, and stretched out his hand to untie Gu Xihe's clothes. Zhang Chi grabbed his hand and said in a deep voice, "Zixiu, I'll do it!"
