From the end to the other world

Qin Luochuan clearly knew that he was dreaming.

The icy river water had already flooded his chin, and if it went up a little bit, it would flood his mouth and nose, making him unable to breathe.But no matter how hard he tried, his whole body was limp and he couldn't float up from the river.

The life buoy that should have appeared together in the dream also disappeared.

The only thing that comforted him was that even though the water was up to his chin, he didn't have difficulty breathing.

It really is something that only happens in dreams.

The cold oozing from his bones made his teeth chatter, and he tried hard to wake up, but his body didn't listen at all.

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, Qin Luochuan felt that a person suddenly appeared in front of him. Although he couldn't remember who it was, he knew that he was extremely close to the other person, and this person appeared. The previous panic and fear disappeared, and he just felt very relieved. Very reassuring.

Then the man reached out to him, pulled him out of the water with one hand, and put the other on his forehead.

The soft palm rested on his forehead, whether it was cold or warm, Qin Luochuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he escaped from the cage of the dream.

Opening his eyes, he saw Shang Qingyue's worried face close at hand. Qin Luochuan wanted to reach out to touch his frowning brows, but found that he couldn't lift them up.

His head was already leaning on Shang Qingyue's lap, and one hand was also held by Shang Qingyue. As soon as he moved, Shang Qingyue noticed it, and quickly stopped him, "Husband, don't move, you are feverish."

Qin Luochuan froze for a moment, then smiled wryly in his heart, it turned out that he had a fever, no wonder he felt weak all over.

But think about it, he was injured in the first place, and he was soaked in the river water for so long, even if he took antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine later, how effective it would be, he was fine before because he knew subconsciously that he couldn't Sickness, now there is someone who can make him feel at ease, and as soon as he relaxes, the wind and cold that was suppressed before swept out in an instant.

Unable to touch Shang Qingyue's forehead, Qin Luochuan squeezed the hand he was holding with him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Well, I believe in my husband." Shang Qingyue closed the cloak wrapped around Qin Luochuan again, then looked at Shang Minghe, "Brother, add more firewood."

There was still a lot of firewood that Qin Luochuan put in the cave before, Shang Minghe picked out a few big ones and put them on, and said: "You stay here to guard Linfeng, I'll go and see why the messenger hasn't come yet."

It took less than an hour for them to come here before, and they were still bringing Shang Qingyue. Those two people were very skilled, and they should have been faster. It turned out that it had been so long, not only did they not bring other people over, the two of them I haven't come back yet.

As soon as Shang Minghe reached the entrance of the cave, he met two people who hurried back. Seeing Shang Minghe coming out, he asked, "How is little master?"

"It was alright when we went in, but after taking a nap just now, I started to have a fever instead." After knowing Qin Yan's identity, and hearing the two called Qin Luochuan little master, Shang Minghe understood what it meant.

"I want to go in and have a look," the guard who spoke was anxious, "I don't know if it's convenient now."

Shang Minghe led the way, "Come in, I was going to find you just now."

The wound was only bandaged by Shang Minghe. Although his technique was not as good as that of a medical officer, he was not picky. After describing the condition of the wound to the guard who was good at medical skills, the other party did not unwrap the bandage to see the wound. He put his hand on Qin Luochuan's wrist to signal his pulse.

Several people were nervously waiting for the result, especially Shang Qingyue, whose eyes eagerly glanced back and forth between the man's face and Qin Luochuan's wrist, even the guard frowned, afraid of finding something wrong.

After about half a cup of tea, the guard withdrew his hands and said, "It should be due to soaking in the river water for too long before getting hot. The situation is not too serious. Rest now and don't catch cold again. When you go back, cook two more medicines and drink it." It will be fine."

After a pause, he continued: "As for the wound...the conditions here are limited, and it will be better to sew it up after we go back. We have sent someone to find a boat just now. It will be much more convenient to leave here by boat later."

No wonder it took so long, Shang Qingyue nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The guard cupped his hands and said, "This is what your subordinates should do."

To climb half a mountain from here to the other side with a road, even walking under normal circumstances is very difficult, not to mention that Qin Luochuan has a fever and is injured at the moment.

Even if you don't go by yourself, it is easy to open the wound if someone carries it on your back. Taking a boat is indeed the best choice.

When he found the boat and came over, Qin Luochuan's temperature finally stopped rising.

When you have a fever, once the body temperature stabilizes and does not rise, you will start to feel hot from cold.

He is an adult who knows common sense. He understands that the wind is strong by the river. If he catches cold again, his condition will definitely get worse. Therefore, even if he is extremely uncomfortable, he obediently wraps himself in his cloak and dare not move.

Shang Qingyue looked at him from the side, his face was flushed, his breath was hot, but he didn't show any signs of sweating, his heart ached so badly, he could only feed him some water every once in a while to relieve his pain.

What they found in a hurry was a small fishing boat, and none of them dared to rely on this small boat to return to Rongcheng. They only got out of this difficult mountain, went ashore, and then took a short cut back to Rongcheng in a carriage.

The mountain they were in was not far from Rongcheng, but after all this trouble, it was only afternoon when they arrived home.

The house suddenly seemed to be injected with vitality, and everyone got busy, each preparing things that might be used.

In Qin Luochuan's bedroom, the previous guard sewed his wounds. In the cold winter, even with a brazier in the room, it was still very cold, but the sweat on his forehead rolled down like soybeans, and the roots of his teeth were clenched tightly. , the blue veins on the forehead jump with every stitch.

Shang Qingyue wiped his sweat beside him, and said distressedly: "Husband, if you don't close your eyes and don't look, will it feel better?"

"When I look at you, I feel better." Qin Luochuan said seriously.

"It doesn't seem too serious," Qin Yan said coolly, "Since this is the case, you can deal with the mess here yourself. I will go to the prefect's yamen the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay." Because of the pain in his arm, Qin Luochuan should have a grim expression on his face.

Although Qin Yan's words were full of disgust, Qin Luochuan could hear the meaning of concern from it.

From the meeting just now, he could see the worry in Qin Yan's eyes, and the bloodshot eyes and dark circles under his eyes all showed that Qin Yan worked hard all night.

Qin Luochuan said with some embarrassment: "I made my father worry about it."

"It's good that you know," Qin Yan pointed out, "Remember to repay well in the future."

Qin Luochuan was originally extremely filial to Qin Yan, so he didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until after all the dust settled and Qin Yan continued to be his in-hand shopkeeper, leaving all the affairs of the palace to him, that Qin Luochuan understood What is the meaning of this good repayment.

The current he doesn't know these things, after hearing Qin Yan's words, he nodded without hesitation and said, "It's natural."

After the wound was stitched up and he drank some medicine, Qin Luochuan fell asleep in a state of exhaustion.

Unlike in the cave before, he slept very peacefully this time, the soft quilt wrapped him like a cloud, and the room was warmed by the brazier. Although it was a bit hot, every once in a while, Shang Qingyue They would put a sweat towel soaked in cold water on his forehead, which was very comfortable.

When Qin Luochuan woke up, it was completely dark, and there was no sound inside and outside the house. With the help of the flickering candlelight by the bedside, he saw Shang Qingyue lying on the edge of the bed.

Not knowing whether it was because of worry or the sleeping position, Shang Qingyue slept very restlessly, her brows were tightly frowned, and one hand reached into the bed to hold his.

Lying on the stomach like this, uncomfortable sleeping is the second priority, and freezing is the big deal.

Without even hesitating, Qin Luochuan pushed the hands they held together, "Qingyue, wake up."

Shang Qingyue didn't fall asleep at first, she woke up suddenly and said, "Husband, do you want some water?"

"I'm not thirsty anymore," Qin Luochuan said, "Go to bed and sleep."

He didn't ask why he was lying beside the bed, because he knew that it was most convenient to take care of a sick person, whether it was pouring water or changing the cloth towel on his forehead.

Shang Qingyue first touched Qin Luochuan's forehead with the hand that was warming under the quilt to confirm that the heat was normal, and then changed clothes and went to bed.

After blowing out the candles, he was able to see a little light outside through the window instead. He didn't know if it was because of the snow or it was almost dawn. Qin Luochuan asked, "What time is it?"

"Just after a while."

"Go to sleep." Qin Luochuan tucked in the quilt and hugged him in his arms, "There is still some time before dawn."

"Well," Shang Qingyue leaned on Qin Luochuan's chest, and said in a sleepy voice, "It's all fine at first, is it because I let my husband change clothes before to freeze?"

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was talking about, and helplessly patted Shang Qingyue's lower back, "Fool, I must have been ill after soaking in the river for so long, because you came Only when you feel at ease can you dare to get sick.”

"I..." Shang Qingyue's nose was sore when she heard this, and she didn't know how to express it.

Qin Luochuan took advantage of the victory and pursued, "You and Xiaotuanzi are all the courage and motivation for me to swim out of the river."

Shang Qingyue leaned against Qin Luochuan, and after a long time said sullenly: "I see."

Even though the two of them talked so much before going to bed, Shang Qingyue still had a nightmare not long after they fell asleep.

When Qin Luochuan felt it, Shang Qingyue's tears had already stained his chest through the thin underwear, and his waist was also tightly encircled.

The person in his arms was crying convulsively, but he didn't wake up.

Qin Luochuan's heart seemed to be pinched by something, it was sore and swollen, and it was a little painful. He quickly patted Shang Qingyue's back to wake him up.

After Shang Qingyue woke up, she was still a little dazed, but her hand that hugged Qin Luochuan was even tighter.

Qin Luochuan patted him on the back to comfort him, and after hearing the other person's breathing calmed down, he asked, "What did you dream about?"

Shang Qingyue still had lingering fears in her heart, "I dreamed that my husband didn't want us anymore, and I didn't pay any attention to chasing after him with Xiaotuanzi in my arms."

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's just a dream, how could I not want you and Xiaotuanzi?"

Perhaps it was the fear left in the dream, even after waking up, Shang Qingyue was still uneasy, she paused and said, "Do you still remember when you were in Yuxi Town, you owed me a promise?"

"remember."

"Then I want my husband to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, he will not abandon me and Xiaotuanzi." Shang Qingyue said seriously.

Qin Luochuan laughed, "Then you're at a big loss, because I wouldn't have left you and Xiaotuanzi in the first place."
