Chapter 66
"Are you suffering from a fever?" The man touched her forehead distressedly, "The doctor will be here soon."

She looked at the unreal man beside the bed, her moist eyes flickering for a long time, and then she asked hoarsely: "Am I particularly stupid?"

"It's not bad." Ling Xiao raised his hand to take away the broken hair from her forehead, and said softly: "It's not particularly stupid."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes were slightly red, "No! I'm just stupid! I always think that I can do everything well, but in fact, I am an incompetent person who can't do anything and always brings trouble to others."

Zuo Xiangning's tears rolled down her face as she spoke.

The man's brows furrowed more and more, and he asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"

"There's nothing wrong with me, I just feel uncomfortable." Zuo Xiangning felt really uncomfortable.

In her previous life, she agreed to marry into the Gu family in order to make her eldest sister better off, but in the end she not only frightened her aunt, but also made her third brother suffer. Even her eldest sister and nephew died suddenly, and she didn't know whether it was because of her. tired.

Now she was not only worried about her brother who was thousands of miles away, but also worried about her mother at home.

She was afraid that her disappearance would distract her aunt, who was already soft-hearted and didn't know if she could win against Aunt Liu and the others.

And her sister is due to give birth in a few months. I don’t know if she has listened to Liu Qian and controlled her diet. What if something goes wrong and no one goes to invite Liu Qian?
She originally thought that her rebirth would make everyone change their fate and live a better life.

But she was even more afraid that nothing would change after her rebirth, or that she would be worse than before.

Only by being with him can she feel at ease.

Zuo Xiangning wished she could travel a thousand miles a day and see her eldest brother immediately.

But she had only been riding for a day, and she was now in this half-dead state.

She secretly hated her own incompetence!

"Don't think blindly," Ling Xiao picked up the quilt and gently covered her body, "You lie here for a while, and I'll get someone to make you something to eat."

"I'm not hungry, I want to sleep for a while." Zuo Xiangning turned over and closed her eyes tiredly, but more and more tears were flowing from her eyes.

She was suddenly so scared, afraid that she would really die on the road.

What about her relatives?
Thinking of all the events in her past life, her heart felt like a knife piercing her heart, and the strong feeling of powerlessness made her even more headache-ridden.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more she wanted to cry.

She returned to this life, and if no one could save her, she would not be able to rest in peace until she died.

After Ling Xiao finished arranging things outside, he returned to the room and was shocked when he heard her suppressed and painful sobs.

He didn't even have time to close the door, so he ran to the bedside, picked up the woman who was like charcoal, wiped her tear-stained face with his sleeves, and said distressedly: "I've already sent someone to call a doctor, you can't bear it any longer." A while."

Zuo Xiangning opened her red eyes and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Ling Xiao, can you promise me something?"

"Okay, I promise you." Ling Xiao nodded without hesitation: "You have recovered, I agree to whatever you say."

"No! I want you to promise me now." Zuo Xiangning held his hand and said with a blurred look in her eyes: "If you can't find my eldest brother, go look for him fifty miles south of Jinmin Mountain."

"I know where your eldest brother is." Ling Xiao patted her back and coaxed her like a child, "You will be able to see him in a few days."

"He was besieged for three days and three nights fifty miles south of Jinmin Mountain..." Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but repeat it again.

What does she mean by that?
Jinmin Mountain is adjacent to the Xiongnu, and fifty miles to the south is the boundary of the Jinnan Dynasty. It is full of continuous dangerous mountains. How could he be besieged there for three days and three nights?

And, how did she know that place?
The doctor came over, took his pulse, prescribed medicine, and said, "Let the patient sweat more."

Ling Xiao helped Zuo Xiangning get up and gave her medicine.

Like an obedient baby, Zuo Xiangning took the medicine and drank a bowl of soup.

Ling Xiao sat by the bed and wiped her hands and face with a wet handkerchief from time to time, but instead of feeling strong, she seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, whining and complaining about being cold.

Even after covering her with two quilts, her upper and lower teeth were still chattering from the cold.Ling Xiao took off his coat, went to bed, hugged Zuo Xiangning tightly, and covered her with the quilt.

After a while, Ling Xiaohan's clothes were all wet. He quickly wiped his body clean with a cloth, then wore only a pair of underwear and got back under the quilt.

He didn't take a breath until the woman in his arms was sweating profusely and her fever subsided.

He took out a set of Chinese clothes from her baggage and put them on Zuo Xiangning with his eyes closed.

He threw the long strip of cloth wrapped around Zuo Xiangning's chest aside.

He thought about why her breasts had become so flat. He thought it was because she was thin. It turned out that she was wrapped in such a shabby thing.

With the chest wrapped so tightly, can you still breathe?
He returned to the bed and held the woman in his arms again.

It's still comfortable to hold him like this.

Ling Xiao covered her tightly with the quilt and patted her back gently with his palms. He planned in his mind that when she got haircut, he would ask someone to propose marriage and try to marry her in the spring after the new year.

But I don’t know if my family can agree.

It's all because of this woman, who is so capricious and changes so suddenly that I don't even dare to mention her to my family.

Now I just hope that this expedition goes well and that I can return to the capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, I may not be able to get married next spring.

Zuo Xiangning woke up and found that her clothes had been changed. She was startled. She quickly stuck her head out of the bed curtain and shouted to the man sitting at the table looking at something: "Who changed my clothes?"

"I'm asking the boss lady for help." The man looked up at the woman with messy hair, stood up and handed her her clothes, "Hurry up and put your clothes on, don't catch a cold again."

Zuo Xiangning stretched out her arm from the bed curtain, took the clothes, and then retracted into the bed curtain.

She searched on the bed for a long time, but couldn't find the long strip of cloth, so she could only put on her clothes and got out of bed awkwardly.

"I asked someone to make donkey meat soup and roast for you. What else do you want to eat?" Ling Xiao's eyes swept over her high chest.

"No need." Zuo Xiangning was already hungry. She drank a large bowl of donkey meat soup and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

"Then drink more." Ling Xiao handed the fire to her.

"Yes." Zuo Xiangning will naturally be in a good mood as long as she eats well. She nodded with a smile, "Shall we leave soon?"

"Stay here for a day and leave tomorrow." Ling Xiao looked at the woman whose face seemed to have lost weight again, but was full of energy, and said with a smile: "You have a good rest today."

"I'm already healed." Zuo Xiangning didn't want to waste a day and said hurriedly: "Really, I'm completely healed now."

"It's not too late." Ling Xiao said, "I will take you to the city for a walk in the afternoon."

"Let's go to the city in the morning and continue our journey in the afternoon, okay?" Zuo Xiangning discussed: "Let's walk a little bit today, so we can walk a little less tomorrow."

"I didn't make any arrangements yesterday." Ling Xiao was afraid just thinking about it.

He should have thought a long time ago that she, a little girl raised in a boudoir, was tired enough after riding in a carriage for seven or eight days. He didn't ask her to have a good rest, but he actually took her riding a horse for a day. Fortunately, she had a good foundation and nothing serious happened, so he couldn't help but regret it.

"It's my fault." Zuo Xiangning said embarrassedly, "You are too weak, which delayed your schedule."

"No delay." Ling Xiao waited for her to finish eating and then asked her to go back to bed and lie down.

This woman is his, and he can't let her act so arrogantly about himself.

Zuo Xiangning saw the long strip of cloth placed on the chair next to her, hurriedly walked over and took it in her hand.

The man who was looking at the letter said without even raising his head: "The doctor said you can't tie that thing anymore, it can suffocate people to death."
