Qing Jialu

When the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, when Xiao Yi and Shen Jia returned to the boat, everyone else had already arrived.The building boat set sail slowly, left Cangzhou in the evening, and set off for the next stop.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the water, as if covering the river with a layer of golden yarn.On the bow deck, Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the embankment that gradually disappeared from sight, wondering what he was thinking.Shen Jia stood behind him, looked at his back, and remained silent.

He was still thinking about Xiao Yi's words just now, which seemed to be said inadvertently, but those words made him feel uneasy.

Perhaps, Xiao Yi already felt that his body could no longer support it?Perhaps, the cold poison has invaded the internal organs?

Thinking of this, Shen Jia's mood sank to the bottom of the lake like the setting sun.

After dinner, Xiao Yi was reading a book in the room, while Shen Jia slipped into Dr. Fan's room on the pretext of going out to enjoy some fresh air.

Doctor Fan was arranging the medicinal materials he had just scavenged, when he looked up and saw Shen Jia appearing without anyone noticing, he shouted, "Why are you here?"

"Hush, keep your voice down, of course I have something to do with you." Shen Jia closed the door and sat next to Dr. Fan.

Dr. Fan glanced at him, "Being sneaky is definitely not a good thing."

"Uh..." Shen Jia choked for a moment, "It's really not a good thing for you, I want to ask, how is His Majesty's condition?"

As soon as this remark came out, Doctor Fan's face dropped.Previously, he was imprisoned in the alchemy room of Yuxi Palace, studying cold poison every day.Now it's hard to go out of the palace to play for two days, and she still has to be pulled by Shen Jia to ask questions.

This is like a student who left school and thought he could go out to play, but was stopped by the teacher to ask about his homework.

"Not worthy." Doctor Fan replied angrily.

"Isn't there a formula for cold poison?" Shen Jia asked eagerly.

"It's useless to have the formula alone. Do you know how many kinds of herbs you have to try?" Dr. Fan sighed heavily in the middle of speaking, "Besides, the antidote is hard to find. If I'm not sure, I dare not make it."

Shen Jia frowned, "What kind of medicine?"

Doctor Fan whispered mysteriously, "Tianshan Snow Lotus."

Sure enough, it was a rare medicine, Shen Jia was shocked and said: "This medicine, I have to go to Xiou to find it."

"That's right." Doctor Fan said helplessly, "Ordinary snow lotus is not good, it must grow in the cliffs of snow-capped mountains, and it must be picked when it is in flower, and it must be used as medicine within three days after picking it to be effective."

"So, even if you find it, it will be invalid if you pick it up and transport it from the northwest border to the capital?" Shen Jia asked.

For this, Dr. Fan already had a countermeasure, and he said: "After a while, I guess I have to go to the Northwest in person. Only there can I prepare the antidote."

"But that's the boundary of Xiou." Shen Jia had a headache, "We can't go to the snow mountain, how can we find it?"

"I have to go to the border to look for it and ask if there are any smuggled drug dealers. We ask for high prices, and there must be someone willing to sell it."

Shen Jia never thought that the process of preparing the antidote would be so troublesome, he hastily apologized for his recklessness: "Thanks for your hard work, Doctor Fan, take your time and prepare it, I am not in a hurry."

"I also understand your heart." Doctor Fan said, "Has he lost his appetite and energy recently?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Shen Jia became worried, "Yeah, I can't eat much, and I dozed off a lot, falling asleep very early every night."

"It's like this in the late stage of cold poison, so you don't have to worry too much." Doctor Fan explained, "Drowsiness, fatigue, loss of appetite, these are normal phenomena."

"Then what should I do?" Shen Jia humbly asked for a doctor.

"Let him sleep if he wants to sleep. In terms of food, cook him more things he likes to eat."

"I see, thank you Brother Fan." Shen Jia kept Dr. Fan's words firmly in his heart.

When Shen Jia bid farewell to Dr. Fan and hurried back to the third floor, he found Xiao Yi leaning on a chair with his head slightly drooping as soon as he entered the door, apparently falling asleep.

Seeing this, Shen Jia walked over lightly, took away the half-read "Elements of Geometry" from Xiao Yi's hand, and put the book back on the shelf.Then, he came to Xiao Yi's side, bent over, held Xiao Yi's back with one hand, and put his hand through the knee bend, trying to carry Xiao Yi to bed to sleep.

So Shen Jia took a deep breath, sank to her dantian, and silently shouted in her heart: One, two, three, get up!

Get up... can't get up!

Shen Jia let out a sigh of relief, he found that not only did he not hug him, but he woke him up.

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Shen Jia's big face close to his chest.He rubbed his eyes, and asked in confusion, "Why did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, it seems that the book is too profound, and I fell asleep after reading it." Shen Jia joked with a smile, but remembered what Dr. Fan said just now.

Sure enough, the symptoms of lethargy became more and more obvious.

Xiao Yi yawned, looked at Shen Jia's bent posture, "Did you just want to hug me?"

"..." Shen Jia immediately straightened up in embarrassment, and was speechless for a while.

"You...may not be able to hug me." Xiao Yi looked at Shen Jia's small body, "I'd better go to bed and sleep by myself."

After that, he got up and stretched, took off his coat and fell asleep.

Only Shen Jia was still standing there, struggling with that sentence in her heart.He couldn't help pinching his forearm, and then pinching the inside of his big arm.It seems that there is really no meat.

Is it because you are too thin?But Xiao Yi is not fat either.Why is it that Xiao Yi hugged himself lightly, and why did he hug Xiao Yi without moving?

Is this the difference between literati and warriors?

Looks like I need to eat more and exercise more!Shen Jia secretly made up her mind that from now on, she would eat three bowls for each meal and serve a large plate of dishes, and from tomorrow onwards, she would go to Wei Tongzhi to learn martial arts.I don't want to practice any peerless martial arts, I just want to practice my strength!

After such a training, he didn't believe that he still couldn't hug Xiao Yi?

Next time, we must not be ashamed like today!
