Chapter 8
He turned around and patted Li Shang's hand again, wiping away his tears.

It was the first time for the boy to face such a scene, and he was a little bit at a loss. To him, family affection was just words on bamboo slips, and he had never tasted it before.

Now this is the first rough feeling, he couldn't help but think, so it's the feeling that someone cares about it?
Li Shang nodded: "We will come back to see you."

Ae Shi also nodded, and said worriedly: "The world is not stable, I just don't know how long I can live."

Shen Jingyuan comforted: "You will live a long life, and Lihua Village will get better and better. Don't worry."

He only took her as a comfort, and the old man beside him said: "Okay, don't say any more, let them go on their way, otherwise it will be dark and there will be no time to settle down."

Ae Shi let go of Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang's hands: "Go."

The two nodded and set foot on the road. Their figures became smaller and smaller in the eyes of everyone in Lihua Village, and they were almost invisible.

The villagers of Lihua Village dispersed, Ji Ae lowered her head and wiped her tears, and suddenly saw a huge golden rune that appeared on the ground in an instant, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the ground.

Nothing but mud and stones.

She sighed, as she was getting older, her eyes became more and more blurred.

Leaving Lihua Village, Li Shang and Shen Jingyuan concentrated on their journey without a break. They were afraid that the heavy rain would trap them again, so they were almost on the way to Kyoto for five consecutive days, except for sleep and rest.

And the two supported each other along the way, you looked for water and I looked for fruit, you ate pancakes and I made fire, and the relationship became more harmonious. Now Shen Jingyuan will no longer be charged a gold or two for using Li Shang's things.

Kyoto is located in the north, and it is early autumn in September. The weather suddenly turned cold. Two days before they arrived in Kyoto, the two also had an accident because of the cold weather. To be precise, it was Shen Jingyuan who had an accident.

On the way to take a shortcut, she suddenly fell down on the road and stayed up all night since then.

Li Shang touched her forehead only to find that Shen Jingyuan had a high fever, because the illness was too severe, and they took a shortcut, there were no medical clinics or villages in the wilderness.

Li Shang didn't know medicine, and Shen Jing was confused due to illness. When he was rarely awake, he was very anxious. For the first time, he felt like a headless fly, feeling incompetent and powerless.

There is a dilapidated abandoned house on the mountain, which should be a resting place built by the hunters who went to the mountain. The dilapidated house is simple and barely sheltered from the wind and rain.

Shen Jingyuan was carefully placed on the rotten bed covered with hay by Li Shang. He took off his clothes and covered her body, and turned to light the fire to make the room warmer.

Li Shang is a man, and his physique should be stronger than that of Shen Jingyuan. The two traveled together. Li Shang got sick a few days ago, but Shen Jingyuan was fine. Unexpectedly, it was the calm before the storm. This time, Shen Jingyuan fell ill. It was very serious. She had a cold and abdominal pain, and her cough was worse than when Li Shang was ill last time. Now she couldn't even stand up.

"We'll be able to go to the capital in two days." Shen Jingyuan woke up, took Li Shang's hand and said, "Take me to the capital. I'm sick. I'm not in a hurry."

The young man stared at the weak girl on the bed, "Your illness has been dragging on for two days, and I can't find the herbal medicine you looked for last time."

With a pale face, Shen Jingyuan softly picked up the tattered sackcloth covering her body: "Come on, put it on, my God. It's too cold, don't you get sick again? Go to Kyoto."

She was limp, and handed him the sackcloth feebly, fearing that he would catch a cold too.

Li Shang put it on silently, looked at the figure in the dilapidated house illuminated by the bright yellow light of the fire, and didn't speak.

"Cough cough. Don't worry about my illness...Cough cough and go back to Kyoto...cough cough cough cough..."

Stop talking nonsense!Take me to Kyoto!Take me to Kyoto!

Shen Jingyuan roared silently inwardly.

Her generation of gods had never been sick, and this time the wind and cold were killing her.

Now she only thinks that Li Shang will take her to the capital quickly, and when she returns to the prime minister's mansion in the capital, her illness will be cured, and she will be able to eat delicious food and spicy food.

Shen Jingyuan couldn't help but shed a few tears of hatred when she thought about how unsatisfactory her body was when she was about to arrive in the capital.

From Li Shang's point of view, the girl was so weak that she was crying but forced herself to smile and said she was fine, and let him take her on the journey.

There was a touch of emotion and unknown in his heart.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he turned and sat by the fire.

Shen Jingyuan felt that he should have agreed, held back her cough and lay down quietly, and fell asleep not long after sleepiness struck.

In addition to the sound of firewood burning at night, there is occasional coughing in sleep.

Li Shang stared at the fire and felt a little upset. The coughing behind him became more and more fierce as the night deepened, and his voice gradually became hoarse. They were all taken out.

When Shen Jingyuan woke up, Li Shang handed the boiled angelica in front of her.

"Drink!" Li Shang said to Shen Jingyuan who was shocked with his mouth wide open.

"What is he doing with the money!?"

Lai Qian looked at Li Shang's actions in surprise and shook his head.

"Cough, cough, cough... I asked him to take me to the capital, he coughed... why did he make me drink his precious and precious medicine? Cough cough..."

The medicine needs to be drunk while it is hot to be effective. Li Shang seems to know Shen Jingyuan's shock. He has a hard mouth and said awkwardly: "It's not for nothing. I don't want someone to die in front of me. Angelica will save you." One life, ten taels of gold will be repaid to me in the future."

Shen Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, the dimples on his face were shallow, not good-looking.

"Come on, look, even if this kid is a philistine, he still has kind hearts."

She showed the smile of an old mother, but from Li Shang's perspective, her smile was like a clean and pure pear flower, which directly hit the boy's heart.

Shen Jingyuan drank angelica and slept all night. On the second day, her condition was mostly cured. She could get out of bed and stand up. Her cough also improved a lot. After eating the vegetable batter cooked by Li Shang, her strength also recovered for seven days. Seven or eight.

Li Shang let her rest for two days to confirm that she was fine before starting the journey.

The rest of the journey was quickly completed. They went down the mountain and saw the majestic and vast moat of Kyoto, and the capital of the Dayun Dynasty stood behind the moat for 700 years.

Arriving at the gate of the capital, Li Shang looked up at the sky, and found that the sky was getting colder, and the sackcloth they were wearing had already begun to no longer keep out the cold.

Turning around, she saw that the girl's tattered clothes were also pitifully thin: "Don't catch a cold again, I don't have any angelica for you."

The girl took out the twenty copper coins stolen from Ae's family, and took out two from it to buy meat buns.

She had had enough of the vegetable batter for so long.

"Ma'am, two meat buns!" Her eyes were shining brightly on the freshly baked buns on the steamer.
