After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

At that moment, Si Jiu felt his mind was clear and blank.

It's not that he didn't think about contracting smallpox. After all, his body has always been weaker than that of ordinary people.

But the feeling after actually knowing that you are infected is another thing.

The first person he thought of was Wen Baizhi.

She has been with him day and night for such a long time, if he is infected, then there is a high probability that she will be infected by him.

No, it cannot be done.

He didn't want to take any such risks.

Si Jiu bit the soft flesh in his mouth and pinched the back of his hand to calm himself down.

We still don’t know what Wen Baizhi’s current situation is.

But she has not had a fever, so it is very likely that she is not infected.

So what Si Jiu has to do now is to separate himself from Wen Baizhi.

No matter what, he couldn't be the one who would hurt Wen Baizhi.

Not even a little bit.

He will go crazy.

But he also knew Wen Baizhi's personality. When they were assigned rooms at the beginning, she had made it clear that she would stick with him through thick and thin.

If she knew he had smallpox, she would never leave him alone.

Si Jiu put on his clothes with trembling hands.

He turned over and got out of bed. The high fever made him feel very weak. He could even be said to have rolled off the bed.

He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He basically crawled to the door and raised his hand to bolt it.

Wen Baizhi, who had been waiting outside and didn't dare to leave, naturally heard the sound of the door closing.

She knocked on the door: "Zijin, did you close the door?"

After Si Jiu closed the door, he was out of strength and sat down on the ground next to the door.

He wanted to answer Wen Baizhi's words, but he couldn't speak.

He was afraid that if he spoke, he would expose his vulnerability in front of her.

I was even more afraid that I wouldn’t be able to hold on and would open the door directly.

Wen Baizhi continued to knock on the door.

Before going out, she asked Si Jiu to check if there were any red bumps on her body.

Now Si Jiu directly locked the door.

It can only explain one problem.

That means Si Jiu must have seen the pimples on his body.

He knew he had smallpox.

That's why he would isolate Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi said to him through a door: "Zijin, did you just find some red bumps on your body?"

Si Jiu knew that Wen Baizhi knew everything.

She continued, "Zijin, if you don't answer, you're agreeing. Are you worried that you'll infect me, Zijin?"

Si Jiu leaned against the door, propped himself up and pressed his ear against the door, just to hear her voice more clearly.

But he still couldn't utter a word.

Wen Baizhi outside the door already knew the truth.

She took a step back: "Zijin, if you don't want me to go in, then I will leave first, but you are sick and in danger. I will help you call Rong Heng to treat you. Can you let him in?"

Just when Wen Baizhi thought Si Jiu still wouldn't answer, she heard a very light knock on the door.

She knew it was Si Jiu's voice.

Her eyes were filled with tears: "Then Zijin, wait here for me, I will go find Rong Heng for you now."

She has developed the habit of reporting to Si Jiu wherever she goes.

Just so he can feel at ease.

Si Jiu heard through the door the heavy footsteps of Wen Baizhi running out.

He knew she must be afraid of running fast and hard.

He wanted to remind her to be careful and run slowly.

But he couldn't do it.

He even lost the strength to lean against the door.

The scene in front of his eyes became more and more blurred, until it finally turned into circles of black shadows.

Si Jiu could no longer hold on and fainted with his head tilted.

When Wen Baizhi went to look for Rong Heng, she found that Liu Si Niang had already come out of the house.

She went up to ask and found out that Ping An and his group had really found Isatis root.

Rong Heng urgently formulated a new prescription, then invited Liu Si Niang out and asked her to wait for news outside.

So, it’s likely that Rong Heng won’t come out for a while.

First, Xiaobao’s situation is indeed urgent and he cannot wait for a moment.

Second, Rong Heng is testing medicine. If he succeeds, that means Si Jiu is infected and there will be medicine to cure him.

After considering for a long time, Wen Baizhi told Liu Siniang to ask Rong Heng to visit them as soon as he was free.

He ran back again.

She called Si Jiu again through the door.

This time, not only did Si Jiu not answer, but there was no knocking on the door.

Wen Baizhi had a hunch that something was wrong.

She tried to push the door but couldn't get in.

Just as she was getting anxious, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the window of the room in the corridor was half open.

Maybe she forgot to turn it off today.

Anyway, she found a way to get into the room.

Wen Baizhi pushed the window and climbed in.

As soon as I entered, I found Si Jiu fainted on the ground in front of the door.

She didn't care to panic and held him in her arms.

As soon as she touched his body, Wen Baizhi realized how badly he was burning with fever.

I could feel the heat coming from him even through his clothes.

Wen Baizhi had checked his neck before and found no lumps, so the only possible place was below.

The part below that Si Jiu is most ashamed of.

Si Jiu fainted completely, and Wen Baizhi called him several times but failed to wake him up.

Sitting on the ground like this is not a solution.

Although Si Jiu was very thin, his frame was still there.

Wen Baizhi tried several times but failed to help him up.

Instead, he was tossed up and down and fell down several times.

Wen Baizhi didn't dare to move him easily anymore.

She put him gently on the ground, walked to the bed, and brought over the mattress, quilt, and pillow all at once.

She made a new bed on the ground, and then rolled Si Jiu onto it like a snowball and fell asleep.

Even though Si Jiu was being manipulated like this, he didn't wake up at all.

It was rare for him to be so completely unconscious.

Wen Baizhi was vaguely worried.

But she knew that she couldn't be afraid, and she couldn't retreat.

Because she is the only one Si Jiu can rely on.

Si Jiu had a high fever, and Wen Baizhi knew she had to dissipate the heat from his fever.

She stripped off all of Si Jiu's clothes, leaving only his underwear.

She wouldn't touch him there unless it was absolutely necessary.

Otherwise Si Jiu might go crazy.

Then she kept wiping Si Jiu's body and face with a cool towel to cool him down.

She would occasionally drink water with her mouth, and then feed it to Si Jiu mouth-to-mouth.

In this way, she was busy for almost an hour.

Si Jiu's forehead was still very hot.

Si Jiu, who had a high fever, did not feel any warmth.

Instead, a biting coldness seeped out from between the bones.

He finally uttered his first murmur after falling into a coma.

He said he was cold.

He was so cold that he hugged his arms and his body kept shaking.

Wen Baizhi did not hesitate.

At this moment, smallpox, infection, everything, in her eyes, is not half as important as Si Jiu.

She took off her coat, lay down beside Si Jiu, and hugged him as he shivered.

"It's okay Zijin, I promise you, everything will be fine."
