Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 1 Shrinking
The cold water wrapped every inch of Lan Xi's skin, her gradually sore limbs and drowsy head made her unable to think anymore, and there was only one thought in her mind.

"Can't stop, can't stop..."

There was a din of voices on the shore.

"Quick, quick, rescued, give me a hand, and pick up the child!"

"Tao Tao!"

"Save people, help me!"

……

I don't know how long it took, Lan Xi finally felt his arms loosen, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and the breath he was holding was released instantly, Lan Xi exhausted his last bit of strength, and slid heavily into the water.

Someone noticed the scene and exclaimed: "Hey, that girl hasn't come up yet, give her a hand!"

"It's broken, it must be out of strength, hasn't rescue come yet?"

Amid the noise, a voice came from a distance: "Come here, I can swim..."

The words behind could no longer be heard, and the muddy water flooded into Lan Xi's mouth and nose.

Are you going to die?

In a trance, Lan Xi realized.

"No, save me..."

Lan Xi's lips parted slightly, his words were almost silent, and his consciousness fell into deep darkness.

……

The candlelight flickered, and the curtains on the bed were slightly drawn.

There were only a few shallow breathing sounds in the quiet inner room, as if afraid of disturbing the sleepy little person on the bed.

Through the thin silk in the inner room, one can vaguely see a noble lady sitting on the head of the hall.

She got up slowly and walked towards an old man in front of the hall, and then there was a vague conversation.

"Thank you, Doctor Liang, Xi'er's fever finally subsided."

Liu Yunyao still felt lingering fear, and thanked Dr. Liang again: "Thanks to you for coming to lend a helping hand tonight, otherwise it would have been delayed and the illness would have been delayed, and the consequences would have been disastrous."

"Ma'am, the words are serious. The doctor is kind. This is the responsibility of the old man. The fourth lady will be fine once the fever subsides. After waking up, just drink a few soups and medicines prepared by the old man. The old man should leave."

The old man was very satisfied to be thanked by the patient's family members. He twirled his fine gray beard and couldn't help but give some advice.

"It's just that the fourth girl is still young, and it's inevitable that she will suffer losses after a trip. She has to take care of her on weekdays."

"I've made a note of this, please ask Medical Officer Liang to go slowly." Liu Yunyao nodded lightly, and then told the girl who bowed her head quietly, "Qingque, send Medical Officer Liang out, and then bring the medicine."

"Yes, madam! Doctor Liang, this way please!"

Lan Xi, who was exhausted, was too lazy to move another finger, and heard this conversation in a daze.

Recalling the feeling of being submerged in sewage in the flood, Lan Xi kicked his legs reflexively.

Is Taotao all right?

At that time, seeing that the child was about to be washed away by the water, the community was basically full of old men and women, but she happened to be the only young man around who could swim, so Lan Xi had to go into the water to catch the child by herself.

It's just that the flood water is fast, heavy, and turbid, and Lanxi's swimming experience is not rich.

When they caught up with the child, the two of them had already been washed away by the flood, and after trying their best to send the child ashore, she had no strength to climb up by herself.

Lan Xi was recalling the situation before she fell into a coma, when there were footsteps beside the bed.

"How is Xi'er awake?" Liu Yunyao raised her eyes and asked Lu Luo who was guarding the bed.

Lu Luo leaned forward and said softly: "Going back to Madam, Miss Si has been falling asleep since the fever subsided, and she seems to have moved just now, and she will wake up in a short time."

Liu Yunyao sighed in disappointment, sat on the side of the bed, and stretched out her hand to gently stroke the cheek of the childish child on the bed.

Lan Xi: "!"

The voice was close to the ear, and it definitely didn't sound like a TV series.

Lan Xi, who was so startled that he couldn't sleep anymore, finally struggled to open his closed eyes, blinked his dry eyelids twice quickly, and then his eyes widened in shock from the scene in front of him.

The antique wooden gums, the bed curtain embroidered with exquisite patterns that I don't know, and the silky thin quilt on the body.

Turning her head to look at the lady and girl next to her with surprise eyes, Lan Xi belatedly realized that something big had happened!

"Xi'er, don't be alarmed, don't be alarmed."

Lan Xi stared with a pair of round eyes, looking overly frightened, Liu Yunyao hurriedly comforted her: "The medical officer has already seen it for you, don't be afraid, my son is fine."

Luluo poured a glass of warm water: "Miss Si, you're thirsty after waking up? Do you want some water?"

Liu Yunyao nodded approvingly to her, and gently hugged Lan Xi with her own hands, and helped her put a thin blanket on her.

"Xi'er, do you want to drink water, can mother feed you water?"

Lan Xi happened to have a dry throat, so he nodded with a calm expression, and leaned into Liu Yunyao's arms stiffly.

Liu Yunyao patiently held the porcelain cup to Lan Xi's lips, and after Lan Xi drank half of the cup, she gently raised the cup and moved the porcelain cup away. Every move she made showed that she had a lot of experience in taking care of children.

"You just recovered from illness, so don't drink too much water." Liu Yunyao gently wiped away the water stains on Lan Xi's lips with a fragrant handkerchief.

Lan Xi didn't dare to move. She already understood the current situation, and she was afraid of showing her feet and being discovered by the original mother in front of her.

Looking at her daughter who looked sleepy and reserved and silent, Liu Yunyao felt distressed for a while. After all, her daughter is still suffering.

"In the future, don't dare to sleep in the cold when it's hot. Look at your illness. It's not uncomfortable."

Not knowing the cause and effect, Lan Xi nodded obediently.

"There are also your two girls, who can't take care of them well. I sent them to the Buddhist hall as a cleaning girl. Later, mother will find you two more useful ones."

Speaking of this, Liu Yunyao thought of Luluo's performance just now, and felt quite satisfied.

"Mother will leave Luluo to you again, and let her be an aunt by your side. I can rest assured that she will watch over you."

Lu Luo was slightly surprised when she heard the words and then nodded: "I will take good care of Miss Fourth, Madam, don't worry."

Serving by Madam's side will be more respected by servants, but if she can always be by Miss's side, when Miss grows up, her future will be indispensable.

Lan Xi didn't know how to deal with it, so she pretended to be sleepy and buried her head in this mother's arms.

Sure enough, when Liu Yunyao saw this, she thought Lan Xi was not in good spirits, so she ordered the girl to take care of Miss Fourth to sleep, and left after a while.

In the layers of veils, Lan Xi under the quilt slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air, afraid to disturb Lu Luo who was guarding by the bed, so she didn't dare to make too much noise.

It seems that my soul has come to ancient times and transmigrated into the fourth lady of this family who died of illness.

Now this small body looks like it is only three or four years old at most, and there is no memory of the original body in his mind at all, and he doesn't know which dynasty it is.

The original body had a fever in the middle of the night, after all he was young, Lan Xi stroked his thoughts, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When Lan Xi woke up, it was already noon the next day. To be honest, she woke up from starvation.

Before she could move, Lu Luo had already pulled up the curtain of the bed and helped Lan Xi to dress and wash. Lan Xi let her do whatever she wanted, anyway, she couldn't wear it herself.
