After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi ran all the way to Rong Heng's house before stopping.

This body was still too weak. She was out of breath after just running such a short distance.

She waited for Si Jiu outside the house.

She knew he couldn't walk fast.

After Si Jiu arrived, she gradually calmed down and her breathing wasn't as rapid as before.

Si Jiu didn't say anything about her sudden running away.

Wen Baizhi, on the other hand, stood aside feeling somewhat guilty.

Si Jiu went forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, Rong Heng came to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, the strong smell of medicine hit my nose.

Rong Heng looked more haggard than when I saw him yesterday.

Especially the bruises under his eyes, it can be seen that he did not sleep well last night.

Rong Heng was surprised at their arrival: "Why are you here? It's dangerous here, don't come here easily."

As he spoke, Rong Heng took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Si Jiu and the other two.

Si Jiu said: "I came to ask you how Xiaobao is doing."

Rong Heng said: "The temperature wasn't that high yesterday, but it started to flare up again last night."

Although Si Jiu didn't know how to treat smallpox, he knew that having a fever at this time was definitely not a good sign.

"How is it now?"

Rong Heng subconsciously glanced into the room: "Yesterday I kept feeding him medicine and rubbing his body, and now his fever is slowly going down."

Si Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Rong Heng asked again: "How are the people outside?"

Wen Baizhi knew about this.

Every time she went to get food, she would chat with Cuizhi and Ping'an about their recent situation.

"They are all fine, all normal, no signs of infection."

Rong Heng reminded: "But we still can't let our guard down. It's possible that Smallpox is just hiding in the dark at first, waiting for the right time to strike."

Wen Baizhi also had such concerns.

"Don't scare her."

Seeing Wen Baizhi's serious expression, Si Jiu couldn't help but speak.

Rong Heng looked at Si Jiu again: "How have you been these past two days?"

Si Jiu said calmly: "It's still the same."

Rong Heng did not expose him.

Although Si Jiu was still as pale and thin as before, he was obviously in much better spirits than before.

"Okay, I can't leave here anyway, so you must take good care of yourself during this time. If you have any problems, take the pill I gave you first. If it doesn't work, come to me."

Wen Baizhi interrupted at this time: "What you said is wrong. You should say that you hope Si Jiu will never come to see you."

When Rong Heng heard this, he finally smiled for the first time in the past two days.

"Okay, okay. I just hope Si Jiu will never come to see me." He said with a smile.

Wen Baizhi nodded in satisfaction: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him. I will never let you have the chance to see him."

Si Jiu looked at her as she spoke with flickering eyes.

He wanted to treasure every picture of her that she cared about in his heart.

After all, they couldn't stay here for long, so they chatted for a few more words and then parted ways.

On the way back to their room, the two of them stayed very close to Si Jiu.

Almost shoulder to shoulder.

The sunlight was bright, and the two people's shadows were scattered on the ground, intertwining.

Si Jiu felt warm under the sunlight, and so did his heart.

After returning to the house, Wen Baizhi immediately pushed Si Jiu to wash his hands.

Si Jiu naturally did as he was told.

Then Wen Baizhi also washed her hands.

It seemed like another boring afternoon.

It's still a closed afternoon.

Wen Baizhi really didn't know what to do to pass the time.

Finally she chose to take a nap.

Seeing her lying on the couch, Si Jiu asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wen Baizhi hugged the blanket and said, "No, I'm just a little sleepy and want to take a nap."

Fortunately, he was not feeling unwell anywhere, otherwise Rong Heng would be inconvenienced now, and Si Jiu really didn’t know what to do.

The couch was under the window of the house, and the cunning sunlight shone on it through the window.

It just fell on Wen Baizhi's face.

After falling asleep, Wen Baizhi felt a little dazzled.

Even in her sleep, she couldn't help but frown at this distress.

Si Jiu, who had been looking at her sleeping face, naturally noticed that something was wrong with her.

He quietly moved the chair to the window and used his back to block the sunlight for her.

Seeing her return to her peaceful sleeping position, Si Jiu's heart softened.

Because you have to straighten your back to block the sunlight.

So the longer Wen Baizhi slept, the longer Si Jiu sat almost stiffly.

In fact, the sunlight could no longer reach her later on.

But Si Jiu didn't notice it just by looking at her sleeping posture, and his back was so stiff that he couldn't move easily.

When Wen Baizhi woke up, she saw Si Jiu sitting here.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why are you sitting here? Didn't you go to rest?"

Si Jiu's back hurt as much now as it did in the morning.

But he showed no sign of it.

He only said, "I thought it was warm here, so I sat here."

Wen Baizhi saw that it was almost dusk outside and the sun was no longer as warm as before.

"I woke up, but it was still comfortable to sleep, and I could spend a long time, which was great."

Si Jiu felt extremely guilty towards her when he heard this.

If she were in Kyoto now, she wouldn't have such troubles.

In Kyoto, she can go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants.

But in Jinzhou, not only was she trapped in the house and unable to get out, she was even in many dangers.

He hadn't said anything, and Wen Baizhi had already gotten off the bed.

Seeing that Si Jiu didn't move, she patted his shoulder as a reminder.

"Why don't you get up? You're still sitting here. The sun has already gone out outside."

She didn't actually use much strength, but Si Jiu's body was very stiff at this moment.

The pain in the waist and back is even more abnormal.

So she just patted his shoulder lightly, causing Si Jiu to suddenly collapse.

Si Jiu sat on a chair, bending over the ground.

He couldn't hold back a cry of pain.

Only then did Wen Baizhi realize that something was wrong with him.

The reason why he was so unwell was because of his waist injury.

Wen Baizhi stood beside him, not knowing where to put her hands.

"Zijin, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had back pain right now, and I slapped you just now."

Si Jiu was resisting the pain on his back that felt like ants gnawing at his bones and blood.

While he was distracted, he heard her apologizing to him again.

It was clear that he should apologize.

Si Jiu's palms were covered in cold sweat from the pain.

He grabbed Wen Baizhi's wrist hard: "No, I don't blame you."

It's all his fault.

After being held by him like this, Wen Baizhi squatted down so that her eyes were level with his as he bent over.

She used her other hand to lift Si Jiu's chin.

Si Jiu's face, which had turned pale due to pain, appeared in front of her.

"Is it your back that hurts?" she asked.

Si Jiu nodded subconsciously.

"Can you get up?" she asked again.

After all, sitting in the chair all the time was not a solution. She needed to massage him as soon as possible to get through this period.

Si Jiu nodded, then shook his head.

"I don't have the strength anymore," he said honestly.

Wen Baizhi put his hands on her shoulders: "It's okay, I'll pull you up."

Once again, she dragged him out of such a desperate situation.

Again.

Every time.
