Things that became cannon fodder through time travel

Chapter 19

Chu Chenxing stood up, looked out of the tent vigilantly, grabbed the wooden stick in the fire, cold sweat dripped down his back.With a heavy heartbeat, Chu Chenxing looked at Zi Xiyan, who was sleeping behind him, with a little hope in his heart, hoping that he could stand up and be with him, so that he would not be so afraid.Seeing that the man was getting closer and closer, Chu Chenxing also started to move towards the tent entrance. The man opened the curtain and came in, saying that it was too late and too soon, and Chu Chenxing knocked it crookedly with a stick.The man flashed and left Chu Chenxing's attack range.Chu Chenxing knew that he couldn't hit that person, so he asked: "Who are you?" The person replied: "I was sent by the emperor to see how Mr. Zi is doing." : "Zi Xiyan is very good, but I have been tossing around for a long time today and I am too tired, so I have nothing to do." The man said, "Mr. Chu, I don't want to hear you lie. Today's matter has already been reported to the emperor. The emperor understands that Mr. Zi is loyal and righteous." The meritorious person also knows the plight of you and Mr. Zi, let me take a look, today I brought medicine and a little food, and tomorrow I will bring the imperial doctor, please rest assured." Chu Chenxing said still worried: " I don’t know if you’re a liar.” The man took out his waist card, approached Chu Chenxing, and threw it on the ground. Chu Chenxing picked it up, stared at it for a while, and thought it was not a fake, and said, “Let me first Believe in you." The man paused in the dark and left.

Chu Chenxing picked up the things left by the man, not knowing what he was doing, lit the fire again, poured the rice into the pot he had just picked up, thought for a while, took out half of the pot, put it back Pour water into the bag and start cooking.A man's nose is almost as good as a hound's in exceptional hunger, except for cooking at night.Chu Chenxing sighed, put all the rice in a dark place, piled up the sundries, and the rice was almost ready, Chu Chenxing did not dare to say that the rice was cooked, so he took out the rice and wrapped it in a cloth After several layers, boil the medicine, pour it into a bowl, and wait for it to cool naturally.During this period, Chu Chenxing kept getting up and shaking, smelling whether the smell in the room would attract other people.Looking at the unconscious Zi Xiyan, Chu Chenxing was filled with sorrow, and he had to be careful even when cooking medicine and food, so as not to alarm people with malicious intentions.For the first time, Chu Chenxing felt that the feelings of family and country he had cultivated since he was a child were much less. , no longer exists.Chu Chenxing felt pity in his heart, not for those who died in pain, but for this comatose person, this person who put himself in danger.

At dawn, Zi Xiyan woke up slowly. He was still having a fever, but his body was too cold. Seeing him wake up, Chu Chenxing brought the medicine to Zi Xiyan's mouth. The fishy smell was enlarged, Zi Xiyan gulped it down, and almost didn't spit it out. Chu Chenxing soaked the half-cooked rice in water, which was equivalent to rice porridge, and fed it to Zi Xiyan. .Seeing Zi Xiyan's pale face, Chu Chenxing felt more guilt and resentment in his heart, but Chu Chenxing hated himself for being so powerless even more, so he helped Zi Xiyan to lie down.

Zi Xiyan had been in the stage of persistent high fever. Later, Zi Xiyan also vomited out the medicine that Chu Chenxing fed, and Chu Chenxing rubbed Zi Xiyan's body over and over again, but it didn't help.Chu Chenxing suddenly remembered that in the Gongdou drama that he watched before, the fever was so severe that the two of them took off everything and hugged each other, but they miraculously recovered the next morning.With a desperate heart, Chu Chenxing stripped Zi Xiyan's clothes clean, staring at Zi Xiyan's face the whole time without daring to move his eyes.Holding Zi Xiyan who was hot all over, Chu Chenxing felt a little more anxious, worried that this method was only useful in novels, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

When he got up the next morning, Zi Xiyan’s fever really subsided a lot, and Chu Chenxing felt at ease after hanging for a few days, Zi Xiyan was still sleeping, Chu Chenxing boiled water, and was worrying about how to decoct the medicine, Zi Xiyan’s weak The shout came over.Chu Chenxing came to the bed, looked at Zi Xiyan's tired eyes, didn't know what to say, just smirked, Zi Xiyan said in a hoarse voice: "Chenxing, I'm hungry." Chu Chenxing felt sour, didn't say anything, left He scooped up a bowl of hot water in the past, brought it over and said, "Only hot water, nothing else." Then he whispered into Zi Xiyan's ear and said, "I'm afraid of someone, so I hid the rice and medicine, and we cooked and ate them at night. "Zi Xiyan nodded, and said: "I've troubled you for the past few days." Chu Chenxing said: "What's the matter, we are now friends of life and death, so you don't need to be so polite to me." Let him sleep for a while, and left the tent by himself.

Fortunately, Zi Xiyan picked up some straw and some firewood outside, and finally picked up a wooden plank, thinking that it would be better to go back to make the sleeping place more comfortable, and Chu Chenxing was thinking happily about what to do in the past few days When passing by, a man wearing a guard uniform appeared and blocked Chu Chenxing's way. Chu Chenxing's heart was full of alarm bells, thinking that this person should not be a troublemaker, he suddenly blocked the way and indeed sent someone down, but he didn't think of arguing. , so he wanted to go around, the man stretched out his hand: "Mr. Chu, do you still remember who I am?" Chu Chenxing heard the voice and said, "You were from that night..." The man said: "Exactly, I want to ask you, how is Mr. Zi?" Chu Chenxing nodded, and the man said: "That's good, I have some quilts here, I saw your house was empty the other day, so I asked someone to find some, you and I go Take it." Chu Chenxing went to get things from this person, and by the way, he knew that this person was the emperor's guard, named Li Ya, and he was acting as a substitute for the emperor.Chu Chenxing was secretly relieved, took his things and went back.

After hearing Chu Chenxing's description of the past few days, Zi Xiyan couldn't help sighing. Chu Chenxing also knew that the emperor had his eyes on Zi Xiyan. As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of a thief stealing, you are afraid of being missed by the thief. If you are remembered by the emperor, you don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. , the air pressure in the whole room seems to be much lower.

It was night, after Chu Chenxing and Zi Xiyan had a meal, they rested. They were really tired these few days and had no dreams all night.

Once Zi Xiyan's health improved, he had already disappeared day and night. Even if he was worried, he didn't know what to say.There are always people coming these days, and Chu Chenxing is not afraid that the people around him will make things difficult for them. He cooks in an upright manner. Said that Chu Chenxing distributed some of the food to the people around him, and later it became a relief directly.There are not many days like this, and soon, good news spread along the wind: King Zhao's army sent back a letter, the army has arrived in Kuizhou, wiped out King Jin's troops, and is marching towards the capital, the purpose is to rescue the emperor from danger
