After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi said in embarrassment: "But the journey back to Beijing is long and bumpy. Can he bear it in his current state?"

Rong Heng also had such concerns: "If we take a carriage, we can go slowly on the road, take the official road, and there will be less bumps. It should be better. We can't stay here forever. His fever can't go down now. What if the situation gets worse later?"

Wen Baizhi also knew that staying here all the time was not a solution. Si Jiu's health was worse than that of ordinary people. The best way was to go back to Kyoto directly.

She thought about it and made a decision: "In that case, let's set off for Kyoto today. I will ask Ping An to ask for leave from His Majesty first."

Rong Heng nodded and said, "Then I will go and prepare some herbs for the journey. We will meet here in an hour."

Wen Baizhi quickly arranged everything.

Ping An went to find Li Qing, and Li Qing told him what His Majesty meant.

Si Jiu was rewarded for saving the emperor, so he can go directly back to Kyoto to recuperate.

This is great, it saves Wen Baizhi a lot of trouble.

After solving this biggest problem, Wen Baizhi packed her luggage with Cuizhi.

She didn't bring anything when she came, but when she left, she packed a lot of boxes.

Most of the things in the box were prepared for her by Si Jiu.

Wen Baizhi now had a feeling she had never had before.

That is, Si Jiu is slowly infiltrating into every aspect of her life.

And she didn't reject it.

After all the valuables were put into the carriage, only the sleeping Si Jiu was left.

Wen Baizhi couldn't support him by herself, so she called Ping'an to come over.

She first helped Si Jiu up and leaned him against her shoulder, then asked Ping An to help him put on his clothes.

After all, it is late autumn now, so Wen Baizhi found a hooded cloak and put it on Si Jiu.

After he was dressed, Wen Baizhi and Ping An each supported one side of Si Jiu, half carrying and half dragging him to the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Cuizhi had already laid a thick cushion on the couch, and Si Jiu was helped to sleep on the couch.

After everything was ready, Wen Baizhi told Ping An that they could set off.

The carriage set off immediately, and the dust it raised gradually blurred the autumn hunting ground behind it.

Wen Baizhi sat next to Si Jiu, and was very worried when she saw him sleeping like this.

The carriage moved very slowly, and only stopped for a while to rest at sunset.

Rong Heng came to their carriage and brought a bowl of boiled medicine.

He told Wen Baizhi, "The conditions are limited. I can't make pills. I can only boil this bowl of medicine for him to take. Although he is asleep now, I have to find a way to make him drink this medicine anyway."

Wen Baizhi naturally knew that one should take medicine when one is sick, so she agreed reluctantly.

Rong Heng gave her the medicine and got out of the car again.

Wen Baizhi was in a dilemma when she saw Si Jiu sleeping.

She touched his cheek and called his name slowly.

But Si Jiu was unconscious due to the fever and showed no signs of waking up.

She helped him up again and put a few pillows under his head so that she could feed him medicine more easily.

She held a spoon in one hand and pinched his mouth open with the other, trying to pour the medicine directly into it.

But he had no intention of cooperating at this moment, and the medicine flowed out from the corners of his mouth again.

Wen Baizhi hurriedly wiped the leaked medicine with a handkerchief.

What should I do? He is already so seriously ill. If he doesn't take medicine, it will be even more dangerous.

Wen Baizhi bit her lip, thinking of the scene in the TV dramas she saw in modern society where medicine was fed mouth to mouth.

She didn't know whether this method would work, but now she had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living one.

She took a sip of the medicine first. The bitter taste made her frown as soon as it entered her mouth.

The medicine is so bitter. Fortunately, Si Jiu has no sense of taste, otherwise he would have suffered greatly.

She held the medicine in her mouth and pinched Si Jiu's chin with her hand, causing his mouth to open slightly naturally.

He bent down again, put the medicine in his mouth into Si Jiu's mouth, and fed him the medicine.

Perhaps because he felt the softness of her lips, Si Jiu didn't leak any of the medicine.

Wen Baizhi was very happy to see that it was effective, and continued to feed him the remaining medicine using the same method.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Wen Baizhi felt her mouth was bitter and numb.

Looking at Si Jiu, his lips were not as dry as before due to her repeated touches. Instead, they were rarely moist.

Wen Baizhi stretched out her index finger and wiped his lips.

Before, she just kissed his forehead and he was so scared that he fainted. Now, if he knew that she kissed his lips, he would probably vomit blood.

When the team set out again, Rong Heng came over and took away the medicine bowl.

He was also surprised to see the empty bowl of medicine.

"Did he just wake up?"

Wen Baizhi shook her head: "He has always been so sleepy."

Rong Heng was even more surprised: "Then how did he drink the medicine?"

Wen Baizhi suddenly found it funny: "You gave me the medicine and gave me a problem. How come you don't even know how to get an unconscious patient to drink the medicine, right?"

Rong Heng touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I thought that you have many ways, so you must have a way."

Wen Baizhi naturally wouldn't tell him that she and Si Jiu had fed the medicine mouth to mouth. She just casually said, "Maybe Si Jiu heard me talking in his ear and couldn't bear to see me too sad, so he drank the medicine himself."

Although Rong Heng felt that this statement sounded suspicious, there was no other possibility after all.

When he was about to leave, Wen Baizhi called him again.

"The medicine you boiled is too bitter. You can't bully Si Jiu just because he has no sense of taste."

Rong Heng narrowed his eyes: "How do you know this medicine is bitter?"

Wen Baizhi saw that this sentence was almost exposed, so she hurriedly pushed Rong Heng out.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go. It'll take a while to get back to Kyoto."

Rong Heng took the empty medicine bowl and got out of the car.

The team continued to move forward, and the moon was already dim outside the car.

Wen Baizhi was watching over Si Jiu and was dozing off in front of him.

When Si Jiu woke up, he saw Wen Baizhi lying in front of him.

Although he only saw her furry head, he still felt very satisfied.

He still felt hot all over, but he had more strength to move than before.

He stretched out his hands and slowly touched the top of Wen Baizhi's head.

Wen Baizhi had always been a light sleeper, and she woke up when she felt someone touching her.

She rubbed her eyes and saw Si Jiu who had woken up at some point.

"You're awake." She said excitedly, "You don't know, you've been sleeping for almost a day since this morning."

Si Jiu looked at her, full of apology: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Because he had just woken up, his voice was very low.

Wen Baizhi leaned closer to see his expression: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Do you want to drink some water? You have a fever, you need to drink more water."

Si Jiu shook his head slightly. At this moment, he just wanted to be with Wen Baizhi.

He reached for her hand: "You don't need anything."

As long as you are by my side, that's enough.
