The prince is very fierce

"Why did you come back?"

Cui Xiaowan's voice was not as clear and ethereal as before, but her thoughts were very clear.

Xu Bu Ling felt a little relieved, at least it wasn't as bad as he imagined. He walked to the bed and squatted down, looking carefully:

"I'll be back when I'm done."

Cui Xiaowan wanted to sit up, but just as she was about to raise her hand to lift the quilt, she remembered something again and shrank a little deeper into the silk quilt:

"I didn't have any clothes on, so I didn't get up. I'm fine. I was just enjoying the cool air outside. I accidentally fell asleep and got a bit cold. I'm much better now."

Although the tone and demeanor of his speech were not much different from the past, you could clearly see the weakness in his eyes, and he pretended to be relaxed. Maybe he was just holding on, not wanting Xu Buling to worry.

Xu Buling could see it, and it was difficult to react with too much concern. He just smiled as peacefully as before:

"It's okay. Let's wait for the snow to stop in a few days. Let's go for a walk together. I heard that there is a wintersweet forest in Yueyang. The scenery must be good this season..."

As he spoke, Xu Buling raised his hand to tuck the quilt tighter, but saw the corners of the mahogany sign exposed under the quilt. The scratches on it had not been touched for a long time.

Xu Buling sighed secretly, thought for a while, and took the opportunity to tuck in the quilt and rub the back of his hand on Cui Xiaowan's cheek. The skin was very white and soft to the touch, but the body temperature was very high, and it even felt a little hot.

Cui Xiaowan had been staring into Xu Buling's eyes. At this time, she shrank back in a hurry and said crisply:

"Your hands are so cold."

"Oh, yeah, I didn't pay attention..."

Xu Buling chuckled and took his hand back.

Cui Xiaowan moved her hands under the quilt, obviously wanting to get her mahogany tag to keep accounts, but there were other people in the room, so she thought about it and forgot about it.

Xiao Xiang'er had been standing behind him, and when he saw this scene, there was a bit of relief in his eyes. Accompanying her day and night every day, she naturally saw some changes in Cui Xiaowan, just like a potted flower with all its branches and leaves suddenly pulling out a few strands of green. Although it was so small that it was invisible, there were always signs of improvement.

Zhongli Jiujiu knelt down beside the bed, put her hand under the quilt, touched Cui Xiaowan's wrist, and checked her pulse carefully.

Although Xu Buling's expression was calm, how could he not be a little worried in his heart? He asked softly:

"How's it going?"

Zhongli Jiujiu frowned and checked his pulse carefully for a moment, and then prepared to look at Cui Xiaowan's face and eyes. He realized that there were people behind him, and they were surrounded by people. He said helplessly:

"It's not a big deal, why are everyone gathered here?"

Xiao Qi felt the same way. Xiaowan was originally withdrawn and having everyone around her would only do bad things. She turned around and left with Yufu and Manzhi:

"Let Jiujiu be busy. Let's all go out. Don't disturb Jiujiu."

Xu Buring also felt that it was not good for him to squat here, so he stood up and took out a small painted purse from his arms, with a pattern of auspicious animals outlined on it. It was a congratulatory gift from Aunt Gui of the Eighteenth Village when he married Chu Chu. It is regarded as the mascot of southern Xinjiang, symbolizing no disease, no disaster, many children and many blessings.

Xu Buling put his purse next to the pillow, then stood up and walked out of the room.

Cui Xiaowan kept her eyes on Xu Buling until her back disappeared, then she turned to look at the purse next to the pillow and whispered:

"Mother likes these, so why give them to me? It's not sincere."

Having said that, his eyes were very soft, and he obviously liked it.

Zhongli Jiujiu sat beside the bed, seeing Cui Xiaowan's expression in her eyes, sighed secretly, and said with a smile:

"All men are like this. Apart from their purses and hairpins, there is no way to choose a gift. Come on, open your mouth."

"Yeah too. Ah"

……——

After Xu Buling came back, there seemed to be a backbone on the building. Everyone was relieved from the dullness, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

Ning Qingye and Chu Chuma were slower and walked behind. They were too exhausted when they came back and couldn't help. After washing off the dust from their bodies, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Lu Hongluan was burning incense and praying for blessings in a nearby Taoist temple. When he heard that Xu Buling had arrived, he also rushed back with Yue Nu.

It's worth being happy to meet again after a long absence, but everyone is thinking about Cui Xiaowan, and they don't have the intention to hold a big banquet to celebrate. The family just sat together and had a simple meal, talking about their parents' quarrels.

Zhongli Jiujiu has been checking Cui Xiaowan's body in the room at the stern of the ship. During this period, the doctor came in and out to deliver some medical equipment, but no results came out, which was quite difficult to think about.

Xu Buring didn't know medical skills, and couldn't run to ask again and again. He waited in the corridor until it got dark, and Zhongli Jiujiu finished his work and walked out of the room.

Xiao Xiang'er was the most worried and hurriedly ran forward, took Jiujiu's hand and asked:

"how's it going?"

Zhongli Jiujiu's eyes looked a little sad. When he came to the room next to him, he said:

"Xiao Wan just went to bed and took a closer look. It's not a big problem in a short time. She has been weak since she was a child and has a withdrawn temperament. She suffered from cold and depression, which made her fall ill like a mountain, and she is like this now. I want to When things get better, I definitely can’t continue to be depressed, and I need to take care of my body and mind; my body is easy to take care of, but my heart disease is difficult to cure, so I can only stay with him more and use things to support my energy and calm my mind, and I should be fine over time.”

After Xu Buling listened, he nodded slightly. Seeing Jiujiu's tired look, he said softly:

"Take your time, don't rush. I'm tired from running around for so long. Let's go wash up and rest first. Let's talk tomorrow."

After rushing back from South Vietnam, even Ning Yuhe couldn't bear to rest. Zhongli Jiujiu naturally felt uncomfortable, so she didn't force herself at the moment, nodded and followed the maid out.

Xu Buling originally wanted to go into the room to take a look, but Xiaowan had already gone to sleep. It would definitely not be good to rush in and wake him up, so he went down to wash up and go back to the room to rest.

There was heavy snow outside the boat, and a light was like a bean in the window.

After Xu Buling washed up, he lay on Xiao Qi's big bed. After running around for more than ten days, it was impossible not to be tired. He leaned against the bed and didn't want to move.

Xiao Qi was wearing a black gauze nightgown, unfolded the quilt to cover Xu Buling's waist and legs, then took off her embroidered shoes and climbed to the innermost side.

Lu Hongluan had just finished taking a bath. Through the dim candlelight, she could see the proud scenery under the thin fabric, which was charming and elegant without losing its moist luster. She pulled Xiang'er to the bed, frowned and said:

"Xian'er, just sleep well. You don't know how to heal. What's the use of running into the room and beating you up? I've been looking after you all these days, and no matter how hard you try, one of you will fall..."

Xiao Xiang'er was still worried about Cui Xiaowan and wanted to run to the room to wait, but unfortunately she refused.

Xu Buling also saw that Xiang'er was tired, so he stretched out his hand to hug Xiang'er, hugged her limp body, adjusted her position so that she could lie down, and then raised his arms to hug Hongluan's shoulders, comforting her softly. :

"Jiujiu has seen it, haven't you? Xiaowan is fine except for being a little weak now. She will be fine in a few days."

Xiao Xiang'er leaned in Xu Buling's arms, but without the restlessness of the past, she looked slightly depressed:

"Don't try to persuade me. It's not like I haven't studied medicine and I know the severity. Xiaowan is obviously suffering from a heart disease. As soon as you came back today, you feel much better. With someone by your side, recovery will naturally come faster. In fact, you should let him If you go over there and give me a hug, I'll probably be half healed on the spot."

Lu Hongluan had already regarded Cui Xiaowan as a Xu family member. At this time, she hugged Xu Buling's arm and nodded:

"I think so. It's useless to just pray to God and worship Buddha. You even burned down the ancestral hall in Wudang Mountain, and you probably won't pay attention to it. Why don't you just get married to celebrate? Xiaowan is obviously lovesick. , just have a wedding on the spot..."

Xu Buling looked a little helpless: "Jiujiu said to adjust the medicine slowly. Xiao Wanxu is like this and can't even stand up. Making such a mess will only add fuel to the fire and won't work."

Xiao Qi leaned on the inside, also holding Xu Buling's arm, and said seriously:

"Yes. Xiaowan's illness is caused by thoughts, but the main reason is that she is too weak. She has a withdrawn personality and is easily hurt by love. She has to take medicine to slowly recuperate her body and mind. How can she give strong medicine and go straight to the bridal chamber? Wan is not Xiang'er. Xiang'er is lovesick, so this trick is useful."

Xiao Xiang'er elbowed her sister with a slight dissatisfaction, but she also knew that recuperating her body was not something that happened overnight. She thought for a moment:

"The war won't start until spring. You should find a way to spend more time with Xiaowan these days, tell stories, relax and so on. Don't think about accompanying me even if there is a bowl of water. We are not sick, so there is no rush for a day or two."

"good."

Xu Bu Ling nodded and smiled, and hugged her a little tighter.

There was snow falling outside the window, and the night was silent. It was probably the first time that the four of them lay together so peacefully.

After confirming that Xiaowan was fine and having a rough solution, the four of them felt a little more relaxed.

Lu Hongluan hugged her for a moment, then turned her attention to Xiao Xiang'er, who was leaning in Xu Buling's arms:

"Xian'er, what are you doing lying down? If you don't want to move, just let your sister come over. Your sister has come all the way back, even if she doesn't serve her, and she still presses on her to prevent her from resting. You see, your sister has swallowed her saliva... …”? !

Xiao Qi raised her eyebrows, and then glanced at Lu Hongluan angrily:

"I'm just thirsty, help me get the water glass."

Xiao Xiang'er leaned in Xu Buring's arms, thinking about Xiao Wan in her heart. She really didn't have anything else on her mind. Seeing Lu Hongluan urging her to get up, she simply rolled to the side and lay down between Xiao Qi and Xu Buring. She raised her hand and pulled him. Lower bedding:

"You can come by yourself when you are greedy. Why are you dragging me and my sister along? Do you think we are all the same as you?"

Lu Hongluan was still very conservative. If Xiang'er didn't do this first, she wouldn't be embarrassed to take the lead. At this time, she turned her back to Xu Buling and acted like she was not interested.

Xu Bu Ling was caught in the middle. Although he was too tired from the long journey to move, he couldn't really pretend to be dead at this time. He raised his hand and hugged Lu Hongluan into his arms, and said with a smile:

"Aunt Lu, don't you know how to massage? I'm almost falling apart when I come back from riding a horse. Please help me push."

Lu Hongluan pursed her lips and looked reluctant. After squinting at the two sisters, she slowly turned over and hooked Xu Buling's neck...
