Chapter 16

It was Su Zijin who was injured internally. After rushing to the next town, she unexpectedly fell ill. She almost vomited up all her bile, couldn't eat, drank water, and developed a high fever overnight.Zhang Long was caught off guard, and invited all the good doctors in the nearby towns to come and treat Su Zijin.

"It's good to be hungry for two meals. As long as the fever subsides at night, it's no big deal."

All the doctors said so, Zhang Long was relieved.

Su Zijin didn't bring a maid, so Zhang Long had to pay the shopkeeper to find a local daughter-in-law to serve his young lady.

"My lord, the lady's teeth are closed tightly, but she just can't drink the medicine."

The daughter-in-law found Zhang Long and said worriedly.

Zhang Long is next door to the room of Su Zijin Inn, coming here now, seeing his young lady's little red face, he gritted his teeth, and told his wife to boil a few more bowls of medicine quickly, then stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, "Give me the medicine!"

The daughter-in-law brought over a whole bowl of medicine, Zhang Long poured it into the young lady's mouth, only took three or five mouthfuls of the big bowl, and choked the rest to the bedside.After pouring three bowls in a row, Su Zijin fell into a coma from burning, and his past and present lives passed by like a lantern in a daze, and he was so drowsy that he couldn't wake up. This time, he was also awakened by Zhang Long's hand.

"Uncle Zhang, don't force it, don't die of illness, but let you choke to death!"

Zhang Long heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his young lady speak, "The general entrusts you to me, and I will definitely bring you to Shu County safely!"

Zhang Long was usually unsmiling, and ordered every word for sitting, lying, and daily life, but at this time he couldn't help but tell his young lady that he was really frightened by his young lady's audacity.

Su Zijin breathed a weak sigh of relief, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'm fine. I have to pass this test sooner or later. I'm just pushing myself."

At this time, Zhang Long pulled the chair over and made it to the bedside of his young lady.

A person who has just passed the test of life and death cannot let her think wildly. Some of his soldiers often change their temperament after this encounter. At this time, of course he will not let Miss alone.

"The general probably didn't expect Miss to act so decisively, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have personally arranged it before leaving Beijing."

Su Zijin shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not a kid."

Zhang Long couldn't help laughing, for some reason, after this bloody experience together, their relationship was now more like their own family than it was at the beginning.In the past, only the general had such closeness and tacit understanding with them.

Looking at his young lady who has always been full of vitality and looked a little haggard at this moment, Zhang Long felt a kind of heartfelt love for his younger generation, so he couldn't help coaxing her along with the young lady.

"Yes, Miss is not a child anymore, but 12 years old!"

Su Zijin laughed, that's right, isn't she 12 years old in the eyes of everyone?Who would have known that the current Su Zijin was the fusion of the souls of two lives?Without this composure, the only thing she can do today is to run away.

"Miss is running a fever, it's better not to talk, save some energy, and it's best to get a good night's sleep. After this night, after passing this hurdle, everything will be fine."

"Ah."

Su Zijin agreed, feeling the rising power of the medicine, couldn't help closing her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.There was no nightmare to disturb her this time, and she slept soundly.

For a long time, "My lord, you can go to rest first. Don't worry, you gave me money, and I will be a nurse who doesn't blink an eye all night!"

The woman is a poor family in the city and cherishes this opportunity very much.

Zhang Long waved his hand, "If you want to rest, go and sit at the table over there for a while. I'll watch Miss here."

The woman stopped talking and persisted until midnight, resting on the table for a while, then woke up suddenly, and saw the adult sitting on the head of the bed with his back straight, squinting his eyes to care for the noble lady who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

The woman came forward to check whether the noble girl's fever had subsided, but Zhang Long was awakened.

"How is my lady?"

"Don't worry, the fever has subsided."

The woman said softly.

"What time is it?"

"It's just after five o'clock."

At home, the woman is also used to getting up at five o'clock, and she heard the sound of the o'clock just now, and said immediately.

"Look at my lady first."

Zhang Long went out to make breakfast.

Su Zijin woke up naturally after sleeping, he had recovered to his original state, his body was as light as a swallow, eating the porridge and side dishes prepared by Zhang Long, he felt extraordinarily sweet.

"Uncle Zhang, have another bowl!"

Su Zijin handed over the bowl, but Zhang Long took it but didn't add any more. Instead, he put it aside and asked about today's itinerary, "Miss has already eaten three bowls. Shall we go out later or rest for another day?"

Su Zijin smacked his lips and put down his chopsticks helplessly, "There are still some injured, won't you come with us?"

Zhang Long replied, "Their injuries are not serious. The humble staff have already asked the subordinates to find the local judge with tokens, and those people will cooperate with the judge to arrest the local accomplices who are wandering in the local area and recuperate their injuries. When the matter here is completely over, they Once the injury is healed, it will catch up with us."

Su Zijin nodded, "Then let's go, don't delay."

The group continued to set off.

I don't know if it was Su Zijin's illusion, but the faint barrier between her and the guards in the past seems to have disappeared.It seems that after they fought together, they naturally became a faction, and there was no stranger from before.

"Miss, further on is the Shu Road, a dense forest of hundreds of miles, do you want to repair it on the spot before entering the dense forest?"

"No need," Su Zijin looked at the seemingly ordinary forest in front of him, "There is always something to go through, there is no need to prepare too much."

The dense forest has a name at this time, it is the source of miasma.

The dense forest that has been dark for a long time is the easiest to breed miasma, and sometimes the strongest people will be inadvertently infected.

Zhang Long felt like he was facing a big enemy, and he made his young lady prepare, but in fact it was just psychological preparation.After all, under the current conditions, there is no specific medicine for miasma.

"Miss, I heard from the locals that there is less rain and less miasma this year, so it should be easy to pass."

"Ah."

They walked all the way for nearly ten days, and it was still early autumn, when tigers were rampant.Su Zijin didn't feel the invisible miasma that killed people, but he was almost suffocated by the heat and stuffiness.

"Uncle Zhang, do you find it more and more difficult to breathe?"

Su Zijin endured to follow the team from the start, trying not to fall behind.If she feels uncomfortable, she can survive it by herself.But today's discomfort was getting worse and worse, and Su Zijin couldn't bear it, so he spoke.

Zhang Long heard this, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, "Miss, it's really uncomfortable. I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't expect you to feel the same way."

"Take a break! Before and after, is there any special situation?"

Zhang Long opened his mouth, and then everyone fell to the ground, panting heavily, no one felt strange, only thought that it was the fault of the weather, only one local person raised his hand, "Boss Zhang, it may be a sign before the rainstorm!"

Zhang Long was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the sky through the dense forest with a heavy expression. He thought the sky was normal, but when he looked at it now, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although there was also a blue sky, were the clouds too big and thick? When a gust of wind blows, the rain will fall.
