The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

After a moment, Meng Jinyao calmed down, lowered her eyes, and saw that the wound on her left hand had been bandaged with gauze. At first glance, it seemed that the injury was very serious. She couldn't help but said: "There is no bleeding anymore. In fact, it will be fine without bandaging." .”

Gu Jingxi glanced at her and said warmly: "Although it is not a serious injury, if it is not bandaged and accidentally bumps and bleeds, it will not be conducive to recovery, especially the wound on the elbow, and the friction of the material of the clothes will also hurt."

Meng Jinyao was slightly stunned, then nodded.

After a moment, her attention was attracted by Gu Jingxi's hands. Those hands were slender and white, with well-defined joints, as if they were carefully carved from white jade. They were pleasing to the eye.

Her mind wandered away and she was distracted again.

After a long time, Gu Jingxi helped her bandage the wound and let go of her hand. Seeing that her right hand was still raised, he said, "Madam, it's ready."

But Meng Jinyao didn't seem to hear him, so he shouted again: "Madam?"

At this time, Meng Jinyao slowly came back to her senses and met the man's doubtful eyes. She was secretly annoyed and didn't know what was going on with her today. She also knew that Gu Jingxi was good-looking before, but she didn't stare at her like this. Looking at others, today he seemed to be distracted frequently, as if he had never seen a man before.

Gu Jingxi saw something wrong with her face and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Meng Jinyao felt inexplicably guilty and shook her head repeatedly: "No, it's okay. I'm just tired after struggling for so long."

Gu Jingxi originally wanted to ask her what happened and why she hurt herself, but seeing her drooping her head, as if she was really tired, he didn't ask anymore, thinking that he could ask her again after she had rested tomorrow, so he said: "Then Just go to bed, it’s getting late.”

Qingqiu and Ningdong were asked to fetch water and wash themselves briefly before the couple lay down to rest.

Two major events happened today, both of which caused a great psychological impact on Meng Jinyao. She had an extremely uneasy sleep that night and even had nightmares after falling asleep.

Gu Jingxi was sleeping lightly and woke up when he heard movement around him. Through the moonlight, he could clearly see the little girl's brows were furrowed, sweat appeared on her forehead, and she was muttering something softly, as if she was having a nightmare.

"lady."

Gu Jingxi called her, then reached out and patted her shoulder gently, trying to wake her up. When his hand touched her shoulder, he couldn't help but be startled. She was now wearing thin pajamas, and she could feel her body through the pajamas. The heat coming from the body is hot in summer, and the surface of the body is hotter than in other seasons, but it is not that hot.

Is this a high fever?

Thinking of this, Gu Jingxi's face tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to touch her forehead. Her forehead was hot, and she obviously had a high fever.

Nowadays, it is not easy to take a little girl to see a doctor at night. After all, Lingyun Temple is on the mountain, a long distance away. People who are sick cannot travel and travel hard, so they can only use other methods for the time being.

Gu Jingxi quickly put on his outer robe and went next door to wake up Qingqiu and Ningdong.

When they learned that their master had a high fever at night, the two maids were worried. They were at a loss for words. It was late at night and they were in a temple on the mountain. Where could they find the doctor?

Gu Jingxi had always been calm, and he did not lose his composure at this time. He ordered in an orderly manner: "Qingqiu, go find the master who manages the guest rooms and ask if there is a master who understands medicine in the temple. Ningdong, go get a basin of warm water." come over."

The two maids heard this and went to do it immediately.

Gu Jingxi sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the sweat from the little girl's forehead with a handkerchief. Due to the high fever, the little girl's cheeks were red, her lips were white, and her crescent eyebrows were still furrowed. She didn't know what she was doing. I had nightmares, or it was because I was sick and uncomfortable.

This sickly look is heart-wrenching to look at.

People with high fever should not suffocate themselves with quilts, otherwise their condition will worsen. He lifted the thin quilt for the little girl.

Not long after, Ningdong hurriedly brought a basin of warm water. Thanks to the prosperous incense in Lingyun Temple, there were usually pilgrims staying overnight, and many pilgrims came from wealthy families. Therefore, for the convenience of guests, there was also hot water in the temple at night.

Ningdong put down the copper basin and asked: "Master Marquis, the warm water is here, what should I do?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Wipe Madam's forehead, neck, armpits, and limbs to dissipate heat."

Ningdong responded and immediately came forward with a copper basin, placed the basin on the stool in front of the bed, and was about to take off his master's clothes. He subconsciously looked at Gu Jingxi and found that his back was to them, sitting on a chair next to the coffee table.

Seeing this, Ningdong was slightly startled and thought to himself: Mr. Hou is really a gentleman. Even though he and his wife were husband and wife, he did not take advantage of the situation.

Ningdong didn't think much, and quickly took off Meng Jinyao's clothes, and followed Jingxi's instructions to wipe her body to dissipate the heat to see if it could reduce the fever.

Not long after, Qingqiu also came back, with a depressed expression, and brought back bad news: "Master Hou, there is a master who understands pharmacology in the temple, but that master went to collect medicine and has not come back yet. I heard from other masters that he went out. It usually takes two or three days to come back after collecting herbs.”

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he frowned and the worry in his eyes became even more intense. He ordered, "Then you go get a basin of warm water and come back."

Qingqiu responded, glanced at Ningdong, and understood the purpose of warm water. He immediately went to fetch water anxiously. High fever is no joke. If the fever cannot be reduced, it will kill people.

That night, Gu Jingxi and the two maids Qingqiu and Ningdong didn't sleep. Gu Jingxi stayed in the room, while Qingqiu and Ningdong took turns to fetch water, and wiped Meng Jinyao's body every more than a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, Meng Jinyao's fever subsided within two hours, and the three of them spent the night without any danger.

It was still early, and Gu Jingxi originally asked Qingqiu and Ningdong to go to sleep for a while, and he could just stay here to watch over them, but the two maids were worried about their master and had no intention of sleeping, so they stayed in the room to watch over them.

In the early morning, the warm sun shines down, dispelling the darkness, and the world is filled with light.

Meng Jinyao woke up slowly and slowly opened her eyes to find that Gu Jingxi and her two maids were in the room. After seeing her wake up, they all came forward. She was a little confused. Seeing that the three of them looked haggard, she asked : "You didn't sleep well last night?"

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Meng Jinyao felt that her throat was dry and hoarse, and there was something wrong with her voice.

Gu Jingxi asked warmly: "Madam, how do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable about you?"

Meng Jinyao replied truthfully: "My throat is dry, I'm a little thirsty, and my head seems a little groggy. What's wrong with me?"

When Qingqiu heard this, she rushed to pour her a glass of warm water to moisten her throat.

Ningdong is the one who can't hide things the most. His eyes are hot and he chokes with sobs: "Madam, you suddenly developed a high fever last night, which frightened this slave. Your slave, Qingqiu, and the Marquis stayed with you all night, and it was almost dawn. By that time, your fever has finally subsided."

Meng Jinyao was surprised after hearing this: "I have a high fever? Why didn't I know?"

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "You were so sick last night that you were confused and didn't wake up. It's normal not to know, but that's not important. It's fine now. It's okay. We'll go back to the house after breakfast and let the doctor treat you." Take a look."

After saying that, he ordered Ningdong to go to the cafeteria to get breakfast, and asked Qingqiu to get water to come in and wash up.
