The days on the boat passed quickly, and it was already more than a month before I knew it.
During this period, following Liang Fan, Shen Que went to many places and saw different customs and businesses, which made him feel very good.
The direction changed again and again, and the road went around and around again. Mutam was so angry that he got angry when he saw Liang Fan. What's more, he stayed with Shen Que every day, finding various reasons to ramble, asking questions about Silk for a while, and asking questions for a while. Asked about jewelry, and then asked about rouge and gouache...
"You are a grown man, and your family is not in the rouge and gouache business. Why are you asking about this?"
Mutam asked him angrily.
Liang Fan seemed unable to see the unpleasant emotions of others and said with a smile: "I want to learn more from Master. If I don't do it now, it doesn't mean I won't do it in the future. If I get involved in this kind of business in the future, it will be fine if I do it well. What if I don't do it well? It’s not like you smashed Master’s sign.”
Shen Que: ...What does it have to do with me? Who is your master?
But this theory doesn't make sense. She is sincere and sincere, but Liang Fan is stubborn; she is cold-faced and cold, while Liang Fan is playful and smiling. In short, she refuses to accept the hard and soft, and sticks to her own way.
But coincidentally, he had countless tricks up his sleeve, and knowing so much information really opened Shen Que's eyes. When he thought about it, forget it, let him go, and he didn't bother to argue with him.
In order to see more and move around, the speed of the big ship was even slower. It was already winter, and the weather got colder as we went north. Especially on the water, it felt even more freezing.
At night, Zelan had to add an extra quilt to Shen Que, but he still often woke up from the cold.
"It won't work if you don't have the confidence." Zelanha started, shivering and adding a quilt to himself. "
Shen Que nodded feebly and said nothing.
Zelan held the lamp, took it closer to look at it, and then helped her tuck the quilt, and then she felt relieved.
"My wife has not had a good appetite recently, but are you feeling unwell?" Zelan asked.
Shen Que shook his head, "No, it's just that I've been sitting in a boat for a long time, my feet don't touch the ground, I feel very empty, and I have no appetite."
Zelan sighed, "My wife is working too hard like this. If I don't eat well, how can I survive? Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, why don't I help my wife make chicken soup tomorrow to replenish her body."
Thinking of the greasy chicken soup, Shen Que felt nauseated and hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't, don't, don't, that thing is too greasy, so let's get something light to eat."
Zelan was helpless: "If you eat lightly every day, your wife will soon become a girl."
This sentence made Shen Que laugh. He lay on the bed and saw Jiang Shangmingming through the window.
The moon tonight is unusually big and round, hanging in the sky like a silver disk.
"gorgeous."
Shen Que couldn't help but admire.
"Today is sixteen, and the New Year will be celebrated in one and a half months." Zelan said, "This is the first time we celebrate the New Year outside, and I don't know if we have any dumplings to eat."
Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Thinking of last year, Shen Que thought of Li Luansong again.
He was still in the Zhang family at that time, and she gave him rewards, and sat with him in the yard drinking and watching fireworks. The two of them talked until very late.
There are no more days like that, and the beauty of the past is really treasured in her heart.
I don’t know if he is okay now, or if he won the battle in Wala...
The next day was a rare sunny day.
Naturally, Shen Que would not let such good weather pass by and pulled Liang Fan ashore.
Even when there is no market, she will go to the market and street markets for a walk.
Take a look at the local customs, taste local snacks, buy special products, and make some friends. It will be a busy day, but you will also enjoy it.
We walked around until evening as usual. Seeing the sky getting dark, we boarded the ship with unfulfilled interest.
"My wife bought so many things again."
Zeelan racked his brains these past few days to find ways to make food for her, but he always felt that the food cooked by the ship's chef was not to her liking, so instead of accompanying her to the market, Zeelan stayed to make food.
Plate after plate of delicacies were brought to the table, including braised lamb, braised crucian carp, stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of cherry cake and water chestnut cake.
They are all Shen Que's favorite things to eat, and they are full of aroma.
Shen Que remained indifferent, focusing entirely on the items she brought back. Box after box of fresh gadgets, playing with this one, sorting that one, she was still interested in it and couldn't put it down.
"Madam." Zelan interrupted her, "Let's have something to eat. These are fresh ingredients that I worked hard to get. They are very well done. You can try them."
Shen Que then put down what he was holding and sat down at the table.
It is indeed what she likes to eat.
"I feel really hungry." She smiled and picked up the chopsticks.
When Zelan heard this, he was happy and said, "That's right. Eat more if you have an appetite."
Shen Que picked up a piece of mutton. The thick soup was delicious and mellow in the mouth. He also picked up a piece of fish, which was tender and soft.
Okay, I’m full.
Shen Que put down his chopsticks and Zelan was stunned.
"Why don't you eat, madam?"
"I am full."
"But you only took two bites, just two bites." Zelan stretched out two fingers and stared wide-eyed.
Shen Que said: "I don't have much appetite, and I don't know what's wrong. It tastes different in my mouth when I look hungry. I feel greedy and full."
Zelan was speechless. He looked at the dishes and then at Shen Que, who was sitting back in front of the box, and asked, "Is the lady sick?"
Shen Que thought for a while and said no, "Isn't this good? It's just a matter of eating less. I'm a medical student and naturally understand that it's normal to occasionally eat less and have an empty stomach. Don't make a fuss. Maybe in a few days My appetite is whetted.”
She didn't take it seriously. Zelan had a frown on her face. It had been almost more than a month since she had eaten well and she had lost weight. What should she do?
After traveling for a few more days, the weather became colder and colder, and as we headed north, it started to snow heavily.
Shen Que and Zelan did not bring too many thick clothes when they went out. Coupled with the fatigue and irregular diet in the past few days, Shen Que fell ill.
He had a low fever all night, and his face was slightly red, but he was awake, with a runny nose and sneezing, making Zeeland spin around in anxiety.
Mutam looked at the weather, glared at Liang Fan again, and said, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier. I wonder if the river will freeze. Why don't we stop in this small town today and find an inn to stay until you feel better?" Let’s go again.”
Zelan said yes, "Tomorrow I will help my wife buy some thicker winter clothes and then hire a doctor."
Shen Que said no, "No need to invite the doctor. I am the doctor myself. It's nothing serious. Just drink some ginger soup and sleep and you'll be fine."
The boat docked at the shore. Here was a small town called Chuyuan.
The town is not big, and the only decent inn has very limited conditions.
Liang Fan was critical for a long time, but still shook his head: "This place is too simple, there is no gold charcoal, if you burn it like this all night, you will be smoked to death."
Mutam said: "If you don't stay, get out."
Liang Fan smiled and said: "Master, please slow down, I will support you."
With the support of Zelan, Shen Que wore several layers of cloaks, including Mutam's and Liang Fan's. They gave her all the warm clothes, so heavy that she could hardly stand up.
That night, Zeelan cooked porridge again.
Mutam went out to buy a lot of charcoal and came back. Liang Fan twisted the handkerchief to help her cool down, but Shen Que started to burn again.
Liang Fan felt that this was not possible, and twisted the veil for more than an hour, but his forehead became increasingly hot, and he said anxiously:
"I'd better go get the doctor."
Shen Que stopped him: "No, it's hard to find a doctor in such a small place, covered in ice and snow. I know it's nothing serious, it's just freezing."
Zelan brought porridge and advised her: "Madam, drink some hot porridge. Without food in your stomach, you will have no strength."
Shen Que stood up and took two sips, but ended up vomiting all of it, almost even the gall, which scared Zelan to tears.
"What's wrong, madam? I can't even eat the porridge."
Shen Que was helpless and said weakly: "Don't cry, madam, I can't die."
That night, Shen Que developed a high fever. She prescribed a prescription to reduce the fever and asked Zelan to get the medicine.
Liang Fan went to all the medicine shops in the town to collect all the medicinal materials. Zelan cooked the medicine and fed it to Shen Que. Fortunately, he didn't vomit this time, but his face became obviously pale and his eyes were filled with tears. No light.
The night was relatively peaceful. The next day, Shen Que's energy seemed much better. Mutam felt that there was a lack of food and clothing and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. However, it was snowing heavily outside, so he decided to rent two cars with a few people. , took the land route instead.
It is said that the next stop is a larger city, where the conditions may be better.
Taking advantage of Shen Que's good spirits, the group of people set out on the road again.
After the bumpy day, Shen Que felt that his bones were falling apart. He didn't arrive at Sui City until nightfall.
Sure enough, it is really a prosperous place. As soon as you enter the city, you can see the lights and feasting and smell the fragrant aroma.
Mutam booked the upper room of the inn, finally making Shen Que's stay more comfortable.
Watching her fall asleep after drinking the medicine, she looked at her forehead again and saw that the fever had subsided. After working hard for the past few days and worrying about Shen Que's health, Mutam also felt tired and was no longer picky. He took Liang Fan to drink. .
That night, Shen did sleep deeply and even dreamed.
I dreamed that Li Luansong personally went to fight against Wala. He was on the front line, but was plotted against and died on the battlefield. Not even his body was found.
In that desolate and gloomy place, there were rivers of blood and bones everywhere. Shen Que alone crossed the mountain of corpses and bones to look for Li Luansong, but he couldn't find him, not even his sword, armor, jade ring, jade pendant, and sachet. ...Not even a single thing that fell from his body could be found. He disappeared into this world like air, as if he had never been here.
Shen Que was frightened and woke up suddenly, only to realize that it was a dream.
The old man said that it is a good thing to dream about a corpse, which means that the person can live a long life. I hope he is safe.
Shen Que rubbed his chest and was in shock. The room was dark, with only an oil lamp shining brightly.
Think about it, it has been more than two months since she left him, but she has never forgotten that person as she thought. On weekdays, her life is filled with all kinds of new things, but at night she always I dream about him again and again.
Only then did Shen Que realize how important that person was in her heart.
It's snowing outside, and snowflakes are flying all over the sky. I remember that when it snowed last year, he was stabbed to save him. It was so warm at that time...
"Madam." Zelan heard the commotion and came in holding a lamp, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Shen Que came back to his senses, looked at her and said, "I'm a little hungry. I want to eat dumplings. Do you have any?"
"Yes, yes." Zelan said excitedly, "It has just been wrapped. Please wait a moment while I cook it. It will be done soon."
She was almost excited. This was the first time in days that Shen Que wanted to eat. It seemed that the lady was really well.
However, of that plate of dumplings, Shen Que only ate two and then vomited again, until tears came out from his vomiting...
