After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After that, Si Jiu would encounter such embarrassing moments again on the journey.

But what is better than at the beginning is that he will no longer endure it on his own, and he will actively seek Wen Baizhi's help.

Although his face would always turn red as if blood was about to drip out, he was making progress after all.

Wen Baizhi was also very satisfied with his performance.

After all, no one's change can be achieved overnight, there must be a process.

She was already very happy that Si Jiu was willing to take the first step to change.

She is also willing to accompany him to continue to get better.

The days of traveling in the carriage were very boring.

During this period, Wen Baizhi also asked Rong Heng and Cuizhi to come and teach them how to play cards.

She wrote various numbers on white paper with pen and ink, and then taught them how to play cards.

They are all smart people and they can learn it once Wen Baizhi teaches them.

In the end, Wen Baizhi was the one who lost the most.

Ping An was very envious several times when he heard them talking and laughing in the car while riding outside on horseback.

But he still had to be responsible for all matters of the entire team outside and could not go in and play with them as he wished.

Wen Baizhi agreed to his request, and when they arrived at Chidu and settled down, she would call Ping'an to come and play with them.

Ping An then started smiling again.

This time Wen Baizhi learned his lesson.

Every time they finished playing cards, she would burn all the drawn papers.

After all, the tic-tac-toe grid she drew casually last time in Jinzhou caused so much trouble later because she didn't erase it in time.

One cannot fall in the same place twice.

Even if she has to spend time redrawing it next time she plays, Wen Baizhi won't feel tired.

It should be cleaned up in time to avoid hidden dangers in the future.

In this way, the group traveled all the way, day and night, and finally they were about to reach Chidu.

Just before reaching Chidu, something happened that made Si Jiu extremely nervous and scared.

That means Wen Baizhi is sick.

Wen Baizhi's illness came suddenly.

At first she just felt her nose was a little itchy and she would sneeze a few times occasionally.

She didn't take it to heart.

After all, her body has always been in good condition.

As far as I can remember, the only time she caught a cold was during the Chinese New Year when she was at the Governor's Mansion. Apart from that, she never got sick again.

But this time it was obviously different from what she thought.

After the initial cold symptoms disappeared, she started to have a headache.

Along with the headache comes a pain in the throat that feels like swallowing a razor blade.

It is extremely painful when swallowing saliva.

Wen Baizhi's strange behavior obviously caught Si Jiu's attention.

She didn't hide it and said to Si Jiu directly: "Zi Jin, I think I'm going to have a fever too."

She had trouble speaking either. After uttering each syllable, she would feel pain and have to rest for a while before continuing.

It hurts even to drink water, especially in my throat.

After hearing this, Si Jiu hurriedly reached out to touch her forehead.

"It's so hot, Baibai, you have a fever."

Without waiting for Wen Baizhi to speak, Si Jiu directly opened the curtain and said something outside the car window.

"Go and bring Rong Heng here."

They didn't play cards today, so Rong Heng was still in his carriage.

Si Jiu was giving orders to the secret guard who had been hiding in the team.

Because in a convoy traveling at full speed, if one car is to stop, the entire convoy must stop.

Then let Rong Heng get off and get into their carriage.

This will take some time.

Rong Heng didn't know any martial arts, so he couldn't get out of the carriage and sit in it by himself.

In the end, the only option was to let the secret guards do this.

He directly pulled Rong Heng out of his carriage and brought him here.

When Si Jiu had severe stomachache several times before, he never thought of taking so much time to call Rong Heng to come and see him.

But it's different now.

Now it is Wen Baizhi who is sick.

He couldn't remain calm so he just watched and did nothing.

Rong Heng was brought over quickly.

To be precise, he was carried by the secret guards onto the frame and then pushed inside.

Rong Heng sat on the ground, rubbing his buttocks: "Si Jiu, you are too unkind. How could you let your secret guards treat me so roughly? Not only did I swallow a mouthful of sand just now, but now my buttocks are hurting so much."

Si Jiu said succinctly: "My wife is ill, please come and help take care of her. I apologize for any intrusion."

After Rong Heng heard this, the pain in his buttocks was gone and he quickly stood up by supporting himself on the ground.

Wen Baizhi had already been arranged by Si Jiu to lie on the couch.

Maybe the fever temperature was too high, Wen Baizhi's head felt as heavy as if it was filled with water, and she couldn't even lift it up.

Rong Heng took her pulse first.

Si Jiu knew that Wen Baizhi had difficulty speaking at the moment, so he followed Rong Heng and reminded her: "Her throat also hurts, you can help her too."

After taking her pulse, Rong Heng asked Wen Baizhi to open her mouth so that he could see the condition of her throat.

Wen Baizhi did as she was told.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

"There are a lot of small red bubbles in her throat. I guess these bubbles are causing her sore throat and current high fever."

Rong Heng came to a preliminary conclusion.

"What should we do then?" Si Jiu sat next to Wen Baizhi and asked.

The reason why Rong Heng stood up immediately and said nothing when he heard Si Jiu say that Wen Baizhi was sick was because he knew how much Wen Baizhi meant to Si Jiu.

If it was Si Jiu who was sick, he might just endure it and get better soon.

But if Wen Baizhi was sick, Si Jiu would only feel more uncomfortable and painful than the sick Wen Baizhi.

He would wish he was sick.

So when Wen Baizhi fell ill, on the surface she was the only one who was sick, but Si Jiu would only be sicker than her.

Rong Heng thought for a moment, "First, we need to lower her temperature, and then give her some heat-reducing soup. You need to take good care of her these few days. She can't eat anything too hot or too hard for her throat. She can only eat some soups and water at most. I'll prepare the prescription later, and I'll boil the medicine for her when we stop to rest at night."

Si Jiu said, "No, we can make the medicine now."

Rong Heng was surprised: "How can we make medicine while the team is still on the march?"

Si Jiu didn't care: "Then let the team stop, at least let you boil a pot of medicine before leaving."

Before Wen Baizhi could speak, Rong Heng said, "Si Jiu, are you kidding me? We only have one day and one night left to reach Chidu. We are now the closest place to Chidu.

No one knows better than you that stopping now will make it easier for people to discover our whereabouts. If you stop now and get discovered, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

Even Rong Heng knew the consequences of this matter, let alone Si Jiu.

Wen Baizhi also knows it now.

She was behind Sijiu, reaching out to him.

Si Jiu still had his back to her, but his hand reached behind him and grabbed Wen Baizhi's hand.

Wen Baizhi's throat just hurts when she speaks, but that doesn't mean she can't speak now.

Especially now that she was conscious and heard what Rong Heng said, she also knew the consequences of stopping now.

There was no way she would have thought that she would delay the progress of the entire team.

Wen Baizhi exerted force on her hands and said behind Si Jiu: "Zijin, listen to Rong Heng."

Her throat did hurt, and she couldn't say more.

But she told Si Jiu to listen to Rong Heng, and Si Jiu certainly understood what she meant.

If it were before, Si Jiu would definitely agree to anything she asked unconditionally, but now he couldn't bear to see Wen Baizhi in such pain.

"Bai Bai, listen to me this time. I'll just stop to boil the medicine. It won't take long."

Rong Heng was so angry that he didn't want to say a word.

But Wen Baizhi did not give up.

"Si Jiu, if you really stop the whole team because of me, I won't drink the medicine you make. I won't drink even a single sip."

Maybe because she said too many words this time, Wen Baizhi started coughing violently after she finished speaking.

Si Jiu, who had his back to her, turned around hurriedly after hearing her cough, and squatted beside her at a loss. He wanted to pat her, but didn't know where to put his hands.

Finally, he followed the way Wen Baizhi had coaxed him and gently patted her chest up and down.

In fact, this really can’t be blamed on Si Jiu.

Because ever since he knew that Wen Baizhi was sick and had a fever, his mind has been confused.

After so many years of ups and downs, he has actually become accustomed to facing anything that happens calmly and calmly.

Only Wen Baizhi can influence him.

Wen Baizhi saw that Si Jiu's face was pale, and she knew in her heart that her illness at this moment must have had a significant impact on him.

After her coughing eased a bit, she emphasized to Si Jiu, "Listen to me, Zijin. Let's continue on our journey. The sooner we reach our destination, the sooner I can rest, right?"

Si Jiu still insisted on his previous idea: "But Baibai, you are so uncomfortable, I, I hope you can take some medicine and get better soon..."

Wen Baizhi almost wanted to jump up and hit Si Jiu on the head.

"No magic pill can cure me immediately. It won't take a while. Stop it, dear."

Wen Baizhi wanted to cough, but she held it back by swallowing her saliva continuously.

If he coughs in front of Si Jiu again, he will probably go crazy.

"But……"

Si Jiu wanted to struggle again, but Wen Baizhi made the final decision.

"Don't say buts. There aren't that many buts. Rong Heng, don't listen to him. Let's talk about it in the evening when we stop to rest."

Probably because he was in a bad mood due to his illness, he felt groggy, and Wen Baizhi lost a lot of his original patience.

So the words she blurted out had a somewhat aggressive tone.

Si Jiu had no place to vent his grievances.

Bai Bai was actually mean to him.

Although his idea was indeed ill-considered, it was all in vain that he was scolded.

Si Jiu's eyes were red, but because Rong Heng was still here, he let the tears well up in his eyes and didn't let them fall.

"Baibai, take a good rest. Don't worry. We will stick to the original plan and stop in the evening."

Si Jiu sounded aggrieved. Wen Baizhi had closed her eyes to rest because of a headache, so she naturally did not see the tears that were about to fall in Si Jiu's eyes.

Rong Heng was very relieved to see that Si Jiu finally changed his mind, even if it was not due to his persuasion.

"Well, could you please call the secret guards to take me back? I can't stay in your carriage forever."

Rong Heng said angrily.

Especially now that he clearly felt that Wen Baizhi stopped talking, the low pressure emanating from Si Jiu made him feel scared and unfamiliar, and he wanted to escape even more quickly.

Si Jiu said something to the window as he did just now, and soon the secret guard came and took Rong Heng away.

After Rong Heng left, Si Jiu turned around and knelt on the ground, holding Wen Baizhi's hand.

The tears that had just been suppressed now couldn't be controlled and dripped onto the couch.

Although Wen Baizhi closed her eyes, she was just resting and not asleep.

So she felt Si Jiu holding the back of her hand, and also felt like there was liquid wetting the back of her hand.

She opened her eyes with confusion and effort, and saw Si Jiu kneeling beside her, crying sadly.

Wen Baizhi was startled for a moment, and when she looked again, Rong Heng had already left.

Her first reaction was that she had diagnosed Rong Heng with another disease that would never get better.

Otherwise, why would Si Jiu cry so sadly in front of him?

She cleared her throat and tried to ask, "What's wrong, Zijin? Did something happen to me? Why are you crying so sadly?"

When Si Jiu heard Wen Baizhi calling him Zijin again instead of Si Jiu, he felt even more aggrieved and shed more tears.

He didn't say anything and just kept crying, which scared Wen Baizhi a lot.

She struggled to get up, wishing she could grab Rong Heng and ask him if she had any terminal illness.

But she had no strength, and Si Jiu was just crying and didn't even bother to help her.

In the end, after Wen Baizhi had done several useless things, she lay down on the pillow, panting heavily, and no longer tried to get up.

"Don't cry, Zijin. We can face any difficulties together."

Si Jiu sobbed and wiped away his own tears.

"Bai Bai, I will listen to you next time. Can you please stop disliking me? I will change whatever I did wrong. You can't, you can't be mean to me..."

Wen Baizhi heard the reason why he was crying from his intermittent crying.

It turned out that he was crying just because she was mean to him.

Fortunately, she doesn't have any terminal illness.

This made her feel a lot more at ease.

But wait.

Is Si Jiu in danger?

Wen Baizhi really couldn't think of how she had offended him.

Could it be the unkind words I just said to him?

Si Jiu is truly a delicate little flower that is easily destroyed.

Wen Baizhi didn't want to explain so much, she was indeed quite tired.

She just patted the couch beside her and said, "Come up and lie down with me for a while. Let me hug you. I won't be so mean to you next time, okay?"

With just a little effort, she could coax Si Jiu back to normal whenever he was out of control.

Si Jiu stopped crying, but was still sobbing a little.

He climbed onto the couch skillfully and then skillfully pushed himself into Wen Baizhi's arms.

"I didn't mean to be mean to you, maybe I sounded a little anxious," Wen Baizhi explained, "Okay, let's stop making trouble and sleep with me for a while, my head hurts."

Si Jiu sobbed and said okay, then hugged her with satisfaction.
