Qi Wu's answer without hesitation made Qi Jiang stunned again, but he was not very surprised.
"Then... when you were still in the clan land, the patriarch and the others wanted you to enter the palace on behalf of the Qi clan..." Qi Jiang pursed his lower lip, then turned back to look in the direction of the door, turned his head, and his voice became softer, still With strong hesitation, "You promised very happily at that time..."
Observing Qi Jiang's reaction, Qi Wu raised his eyebrows helplessly: "So what if you agree quickly? I didn't have a choice at the time, and the patriarch and the others didn't give me a choice. It's better to cooperate. So as not to make the scene too ugly... Anyway, when the patriarch and the others arrange the dowry, they can feel guilty and be more generous."
What Qi Wu said was straightforward, but it wasn't very pleasant to hear, but his attitude was too open, and Qi Jiang only felt that it was very reasonable...
Coughing lightly, Qi Jiang shook his head, still feeling wrong: "But after getting along for a while, I think...you have a good idea. If you really don't want to enter the palace, there should be a way to stay in the clan at that time." ground..."
"Forcibly staying in the clan land, and then there are no people inside and outside?" Qi Wu slightly curled the corner of his lower lip, then looked at Qi Jiang and chuckled, "I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to stay in the clan land. What about you?" ? You were not the one who got the red lottery to enter the palace, and you asked Qi An to cry and beg for a few words, and you agreed to enter the palace on his behalf. Do you really want to enter the palace again?"
Seeing the brisk smile on Qi Wu's face, Qi Jiang was inexplicably embarrassed, he lowered his eyes and fell silent.After quite a while, Qi Jiang raised his head, and saw Qi Wu leaning on the head of the bed with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was asleep or not.
Qi Jiang hesitated for a while, but still whispered, and answered Qi Wu's question just now: "...I want to stay in the clan land."
Qi Wu still closed his eyes, but he took the words naturally and continued to ask: "Then you still agree to Qi An's begging?"
Qi Jiang frowned: "He...he was crying and begging at the time, I don't know what to do...I'm not very good at rejecting others. Moreover, although Qi An made it difficult for me at the time, what he said while crying It's also true that his mother's health is really bad. If he leaves the clan land and there is no one to take care of him in his mother's house, even if the clan doesn't ignore his mother, it's not like his own child Twelve I can accompany you carefully for an hour..."
"And after he left, he will definitely never see his mother again... His mother is very nice. When my mother passed away, I was still young. His mother took care of me and did it for me. New Year's clothes..."
"Qi An doesn't want to enter the palace, but there are always people who want to enter the palace. At that time, I thought, anyway, I am alone in the clan land, so it is not so embarrassing than other people... After all these years, I have not done anything wrong. What did the clan do..."
With his eyes closed, Qi Wu still had a low-grade fever, and his strength and thoughts were a little weak. Hearing Qi Jiang sitting on the bed and chattering for a long time, Qi Wu had no choice but to open his eyes and interrupt: "I I don’t have as many thoughts as you, my mind is full of eight words.”
"Ah?" Qi Jiang was puzzled.
Qi Wu said lazily: "It's none of my business, it's none of your business."
Qi Jiang: "..."
Although the Qi Clan's land is remote, the people in the Clan's land speak and do things in a reserved way, like what Qi Wu is doing now, it's considered vulgar.
But Qi Jiang blushed and couldn't say anything, so he could only say "Oh" like a mosquito.
Qi Wu's tone was still very lazy: "Mr. Qi An took care of you after you had no elders in your family, so even if you want to pay back, when Qi An leaves and there are no juniors in his family, you can take care of you and go back. It's worth it Lose yourself for the rest of your life? If you don't resist entering the palace, that's fine, but you are clearly very unwilling to leave the clan land."
"Everyone in the Qi clan has a similar experience. You still help the patriarch and the others with some chores and prepare for the annual sacrificial ceremony. If you haven't done anything for the clan, then the people of the Qi clan who are in the same situation as us are still in the same situation. Who can say that he has made a contribution to the clan?"
Qi Jiang originally thought that Qi Wu hadn't listened carefully just now, or he was getting impatient. After all, he also felt that his talking was a bit boring.But as Qi Wu said these words slowly, Qi Jiang became more and more dazed.
He didn't expect that although Qi Wu closed his eyes, he was actually listening to him carefully, and not only did he listen, but he also responded with such a long sentence... This is the first time Qi Wu has spoken such a long sentence to him since these days.
"Of course, this is my idea. I have this personality. You are willing to nod and enter the palace against your will in order to repay that kindness and to understand the hardships of the Qi family. Although I would not be happy to do so, but I don't even feel like you're willing to do that."
As Qi Wu spoke, the casualness in his tone slowly subsided a little, he fixed his eyes on the face of Qi Jiang who was still in a daze, and then slowly said: "I don't admire your spirit of sacrifice, but I don't dislike your generosity either. A person's life is very short, as long as you are happy. But the premise is that you can't hinder me, okay?"
Qi Jiang stared at Qi Wu in a daze.
The room door was knocked suddenly, Xie Jing Xing's voice said from outside: "Master Qi, we brought some hot water and tea, and snacks that can relieve dizziness, please trouble Master Qi Jiang to open the door and get it."
Qi Jiang suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and answered through the door: "Okay."
In addition to what Xie Jing Xing mentioned, the kitchen actually sent two bowls of porridge.
"Young Master Qi Wu didn't eat much today, if you can eat some now, you can have a bowl of clear porridge as a cushion. I don't know if Young Master Qi Jiang is hungry, so I simply sent two bowls." Xie Jing Xing explained.
Qi Jiang thanked him, carried the wooden dinner plate into the house twice, and then went back and closed the door.
"Qi Wu, would you like some porridge first?" Qi Jiang took off his hat as if he hadn't talked about the topic just now, and asked Qi Wu with a calm expression and a soft tone.
Qi Wu looked at the things on the table and shook his head: "Just give me an orange."
"Okay." Qi Jiang came down, took a lime and began to peel it, "They said that this is a seasonal fruit in Kecheng. It is used later in medicine, so if you eat it directly, you may not be able to swallow it, but it has always been very effective in treating seasickness if you take it in your mouth... Be careful not to be sour."
……
In the evening, the rays of the sun dazzled the eyes.Liu Lu and Xie Jing Xing entered the cabin from the deck and called Doctor Wu to go to Qi Wu's room again.
Qi Jiang came to open the door for them. Doctor Wu went into the room to check Qi Wu's situation again, and his expression became a little dignified after he came out.
"Back to the two adults... Mr. Qi Wu's symptoms of dizziness and discomfort are no longer a problem, but to my surprise, Mr. Qi Wu's low-grade fever has not faded, but fortunately, the symptoms have not worsened. It is three points of the medicine. Poison, the old man originally thought that it would be better for such a small symptom to heal on its own, but now it seems that the old man should boil a medicine later and let Mr. Qiwu drink it."
So after having a light dinner, Dr. Wu came to the kitchen and started to boil medicine.Fortunately, it was only a common ailment like wind-cold and fever. Dr. Wu brought a lot of medicinal materials with him when he boarded the ship, and many of them were available for the symptoms.
It's just that there was an accident on the way to boil the medicine.
It was getting dark outside, and the person at the helm had just finished his meal, so he was a little distracted, and a flat boat was coming towards him. The people on the small boat probably didn't pay attention to the water surface, and the two sides hurriedly avoided each other as the big boat approached. .
The hull of the big ship shook a little bit, and although there was only a short time, the medicine pot on the small stove in the kitchen deviated and fell straight down.Fortunately, Dr. Wu, who was guarding in front of the medicine jar, was not burned.
The medicine pot fell, and Dr. Wu had no choice but to call someone to help clean up the mess in the kitchen, and restarted the stove to boil the medicine.After being so busy, by the time a bowl of medicine was delivered to Qi Wu's room, it was already [-]:[-] PM.
Because of fatigue and drowsiness, Qi Wu fell asleep in a daze after dinner.When Qi Jiang called him to drink the medicine, Qi Wu was in a daze.
The blue-and-white porcelain bowl contained black soup. The soup was steaming hot. Although it had cooled down, it was still a little hot in the mouth.The hotness is still a trivial matter, the main reason is that it is so bitter, Qi Wu doesn't know whether it's the medicine that hurts more, or the sour citrus in his mouth in the afternoon to stop dizziness.
Looking at the bowl full of medicine, the pale Qi Wu really wanted to yell, "I won't take this medicine anymore"... But it's a child's thing to be afraid of hardship and not take medicine. Qi Wu wants to save face.
After struggling again and again, Qi Jiang stared at him unblinkingly, Qi Wu sighed, and poured down the medicine in one go.
Then he was tortured so much that his whole body became sober.
Qi Jiang handed out the medicine bowl, and when he came back, he saw Qi Wu's sour face, and thought of the way he was drinking the medicine just now, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Shall I pour you a glass of water to rinse your mouth?" Qi Jiang asked.
Qi Wu shook his head: "Forget it, what if the effect of the medicine is diluted." The sooner he recovers from his illness, the sooner his low-grade fever subsides, he can drink less medicine. Anyway, Qi Wu doesn't want to drink anymore, he just wants to sleep I feel like I'll be fine tomorrow morning.
When he was awake, Qi Wu casually glanced at the window with only a gap open, and asked Qi Jiang, "What time is it?"
Qi Jiang blinked: "It's half past Haishi, what's wrong?"
Qi Wu silently recited Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Noon Shen You Xu Hai in his heart... It should be around ten o'clock in the evening now.
At this moment in ancient times, this time is already very late.
"Then why don't you go back to your room to sleep?" Qi Wu said, "Go back to sleep, I've taken all the medicine now, I can't do anything else, don't waste your time here."
Qi Jiang hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "I...how about I stay here to watch over you, you are still burning, what if you get sicker at night, what do you want to do? I don't care. Yes, anyway, these days from morning till night... I'm either in a daze or sleeping, and it doesn't hurt at all if I don't sleep for a night or two."
"Go to sleep and have a good rest."
Seeing that Qi Jiang's attitude was not reluctant, Qi Wu didn't say anything else, and watched Qi Jiang sit down on the chair next to the bed again... Anyway, he was not sleepy now, so Qi Wu leaned against the head of the bed and spoke slowly.
"You agreed to Qi An's request to enter the palace on your behalf. It can be said that it was affected by Qi An's mother-in-law and the danger of the Qi family. What about me?" Qi Wu blinked lightly, "Frankly speaking, I don't think I It's easy to get along with, especially when you were very cold at the beginning, but you are still very close to me along the way, and now you are doing your best to take care of me, what is the reason?"
"I..." Qi Jiang was somewhat at a loss for words when asked, hesitantly hesitated, "I...don't know...Although you don't seem to want to befriend me, but...I think you are very nice. Moreover, I also thought before that we are going to enter the palace together, so I just want to get closer to you..."
Biting his lips, Qi Jiang said a little discouraged: "Maybe you think I'm weird, but I really think you are very good. Although you are relatively alienated from me, I still like to talk to you very much, without any reluctance. of."
"I...Actually, I..." Qi Jiang thought for a while, and said honestly with embarrassment, "You said in the afternoon that life is short, and I can do what I do to be happy. But in fact, sometimes I am not very happy. ...I don't have the idea of self-sacrifice and generosity as you mentioned, but sometimes...it's very difficult, I don't know what to do, I don't want to let the other party down and unhappy...I just tell myself, anyway, it's right for me It doesn't matter, so why not promise the other party..."
It's just that when he was in the Qi clan's land, at most he agreed to help with moving things, sorting out sundries, and agreeing to other people's shift requests during shifts, which were harmless and trivial things to Qi Jiang.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in the clan land, so it doesn't matter if you do a little more.Sometimes Qi Jiang was in a difficult situation, so he told himself like this.
Until the matter of entering the palace to serve the emperor... In fact, it was not only embarrassing, after Qi Jiang subconsciously agreed at night, it was not without regret and annoyance.But he has already agreed, Qi Jiang can only tell himself that he is only entering the palace, as long as he lives in peace, keeps a low profile and be careful in everything... he won't live too badly.
After all, people outside the Qi clan seem to think that entering the palace is a great thing.
Even if they are from the Qi clan, it shouldn't be too bad to enter the palace...
Now sitting beside Qi Wu's bed, Qi Jiang's mood suddenly became very low.
Qi Wu looked at his expression and blinked.
……
"The Qi people's health is too bad. They are still men. I said earlier that they don't cause trouble, but now they are troublesome."
There were not so many rooms on the ship, except for Liu Lu in the envoys, the others including Xie Jing Xing shared a room with several people and slept in Datong bunk.Although the candles were extinguished right now, in the room closest to the kitchen, several people were still asleep and gossiping.
"That's right, how old is Dr. Wu, and he's still busy making medicine for the Qi people."
"Fortunately, this is on a boat. There is a doctor who is always there for twelve hours. If we ride horses and the two Qi people ride in a carriage like before, then the Qi people will be troublesome when they are sick."
"By the way, did I ask that fellow Xie Jingxing to be out of his mind? Helping Lord Liu with errands is a serious business, but I think he took care of those two Qi clansmen as if he really fell in love with him, as if he really regarded that Qi clansman as a There are so many amazing characters, people laugh to death."
"Don't ask Xie Jingxing to hear your words. Although we all work for Master Liu, Master Liu values him. He heard that Master Liu is going to be promoted at the very beginning, so he will directly choose one of us for his current job. Going up to stand against it, it must be this Xie Jingxing. Master Liu has a cold face and a warm heart, and he doesn't care if we say something bad, but Xie Jingxing is a reckless man, he must pay back some respect before he doesn't care."
"Xie Jingxing, doesn't he respect His Royal Highness King Lang? If you ask me, he is a strange person. I heard that he is also a student of a scholarly family. He insists on joining the army, but he always praises King Lang..."
This made some people unhappy: "Hey, you said Xie Jing Xinggui, but don't talk about His Royal Highness Lang. Isn't His Royal Highness worthy of praise and respect? We can safely eat military pay in the capital, and we don't have to worry about being called someday. The bloody battle on the frontier is all due to His Royal Highness Lang!"
"But... If you want me to say, His Royal Highness Prince Lang really has a bad reputation. Two years ago when he returned to Wendu, when he went to the palace to meet the emperor, he had a fit of anger... I have a distant relative I worked as an official in the palace, and I used to serve the Imperial Garden, but I was implicated and fined and sent to the Gongshiting Court, I met him by chance when I was on duty at the palace gate, his whole person is quite different, his hair is much thinner."
"Hey!" Someone laughed, "Aren't there eunuchs in the palace? You have relatives who have entered the palace and become eunuchs?"
The person who spoke just now was not happy: "It's said that it's from a distant house! We haven't had any contact since 800 years ago!"
There was a lot of noise in the house, and it took a long time for it to subside.
……
Qi Jiang slept at the table all night, and woke up suddenly the next morning, and subconsciously glanced at Qi Wu who was still asleep.
After hesitating for a while, Qi Jiang gently reached out to touch Qi Wu's forehead.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Qi Wu's low fever subsided.
As soon as he withdrew his hand, Qi Jiang found that Qi Wu had woken up. He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Did I wake you up? Do you still feel uncomfortable? I just touched your forehead, it seems that it is not hot gone."
"It's okay." Qi Wu stretched out his hand from under the quilt and touched his head, then said in a relaxed tone.
Dr. Wu also came again early in the morning to give Qi Wu a diagnosis.After confirming that his fever was gone, Dr. Wu stroked the beard on his chin: "Although the fever is gone, I will boil some medicine for Mr. Qi later..."
"No need, thank you Doctor Wu." Qi Wu replied without hesitation, "I'm really fine, I..."
Doctor Wu interrupted earnestly: "Young master Qi, you should listen to me, doctor."
What can Qi Wu do?
When Dr. Wu delivered the medicine, he pinched his nose and wrinkled his face and drank it forcefully.
After drinking the medicine, Qi Wu felt weak from the bitter taste: "Qi Jiang, go back to your room and rest, I'm really fine here."
Seeing Qi Wu like this, Qi Jiang couldn't help laughing.
The door was knocked again, Qi Jiang went to open the door, and came back with a small paper bag in his hand.
"Dr. Wu just delivered medicine, so I asked the boy at your door to go to the kitchen to ask for some sugar. The kitchen gave him a pack of candied fruit, but it wasn't much. Fortunately, you don't need to drink any more medicine." Qi Jiang said and opened the paper bag, and then carefully handed it to Qi Wu, "Qi Wu, would you... want to taste a little?"
Bitter in the mouth, it is good to eat some candied fruit.Qi Wu looked up at Qi Jiang for a while, then lowered his gaze, and reached out to take a small piece of ginger-yellow candied fruit.
He drank the medicine in the morning, and after lunch, he drank a bowl of medicine at the insistence of Dr. Wu. Finally, he was forgiven by Doctor Wu "no need to drink the medicine". Qi Wu was so comfortable that he ate all the candied fruit at once.
Then he was so sweet that he drank several large cups of hot tea.
……
Everyone thought that Qi Wu's illness was cured, and Qi Wu really thought so.
A few hours later, Qi Wu had just finished his dinner when he suddenly began to feel weak in his limbs again.He raised his hand and touched his forehead... If nothing else happened, he should have started to have a low fever again.
"What kind of physique is this..." Qi Wu lamented to himself, thinking that he couldn't hide his illness from medical treatment, so he had to call Dr. Wu again and drink a few more bowls of bitter medicine.It's a pity that the candied fruit made him greedy and ate it up. No matter how bitter the medicine is, there is no sweet taste.
... But just as he stretched out his hand to open the door, Qi Wu suddenly remembered something, then his face changed slightly, and he withdrew his hand.
"Fuck, you can ignore such an important matter, Qi Wu, are you a pig..." Silently scolding himself, Qi Wu lay back on the bed by himself.
The Qi people have a special physique. After they are full, they will face a fever similar to the estrus once a month. The whole person's state is like taking the most powerful aphrodisiac. Although they can survive by force, they can survive after a few days Toss the dead.
But it's just a relatively standard node, not completely certain.Most people will enter the burning period within a month after they are full, and occasionally someone will be a little earlier or a little later, but sooner or later it will not exceed three months.
And preparations for the heat-up period are not unforeseen.
Every Qi nationality who is about to enter the fever period will start about half a year in advance, and will enter low-grade fever for a few days every month.Fortunately, apart from the low-grade fever, there are no other symptoms, and there is no need to take special medicine to treat it. After a few days, it will heal on its own.
... Qi Wu actually came here through the book, and he didn't have such a strong sense of belonging and identification with the special identity of the Qi people. Before thinking about running away, what he thought most about was how to run, where to run, and what to do after running. Where to go, as for how to avoid being discovered as a member of the Qi clan, what Qi Wu thinks most about is how to cover up and get rid of the marks on the back of his neck.
Qi Wu really hasn't had time to pay attention to this unscrupulous physique during the fever period.After all, according to the original plot, Qi Wu and Qi Jiang, the two members of the Qi tribe, both entered the burning period for the first time after entering the palace.
Qi Jiang, who is the protagonist, is still more than half a year away from Manchuria, and it took another two months after entering the palace to show symptoms of continuous low-grade fever, and the fever period was even later.As for the villain's cannon fodder, "Qi Wu" entered the heat-up period for the first time four or five months after entering the palace.
If it weren't for the physique of the hot period, the villain "Qi Wu" would not have been able to have anything to do with the protagonist's attack on the Emperor Shang Wenjin of the Zhou Dynasty.
……
After having dinner in his own room, Qi Jiang was still a little worried about Qi Wu's situation, although he said that Qi Wu was already well, but... After hesitating, he came to Qi Wu's room again and knocked on the door.
"You push the door and come in." Inside the room, Qi Wu was lying on the bed too lazy to get up, anyway, it was Qi Jiang who knocked on the door outside, so he didn't bother about wearing a veiled hat.
Qi Jiang pushed the door open, and when he entered the room, he saw Qi Wu lying listlessly on the bed, as if he had returned to yesterday's illness, he was startled: "Qi Wu, you..."
Qi Wu raised his hand, put it between his lips, and gave a soft "shush": "It's okay."
Qi Jiang frowned, approached, and whispered, "Are you still feeling unwell? Shall I call Dr. Wu again? Don't worry about causing trouble, anyway... Anyway, those people have objections to us. , more or less is almost the same..."
"No." Qi Wu half-closed his eyes, and spoke lazily, "Didn't you have a low-grade fever for a few days every month in the first half of the fever period? This should be the reason."
"..." Qi Jiang was at a loss for words for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned red.
The author has something to say:
Double change the word count, make up yesterday's!
Is it because I am too lazy to write words, so the treasures are too lazy to comment on me TUT
I am anxious to write daily code words, Gongshou, why haven’t we met yet? Whose relationship has flowed [-] words? Gongshou hasn’t met yet (??_?`)
Current impressions of each other:
Shang Fuheng: Qi Wu, isn't he one of the two tool Qi people!
Qi Wu: Shang Fuheng, that villain who got sick in his head and finally died?
^ _ ^
"Then... when you were still in the clan land, the patriarch and the others wanted you to enter the palace on behalf of the Qi clan..." Qi Jiang pursed his lower lip, then turned back to look in the direction of the door, turned his head, and his voice became softer, still With strong hesitation, "You promised very happily at that time..."

It was getting dark outside, and the person at the helm had just finished his meal, so he was a little distracted, and a flat boat was coming towards him. The people on the small boat probably didn't pay attention to the water surface, and the two sides hurriedly avoided each other as the big boat approached. .
The hull of the big ship shook a little bit, and although there was only a short time, the medicine pot on the small stove in the kitchen deviated and fell straight down.Fortunately, Dr. Wu, who was guarding in front of the medicine jar, was not burned.
The medicine pot fell, and Dr. Wu had no choice but to call someone to help clean up the mess in the kitchen, and restarted the stove to boil the medicine.After being so busy, by the time a bowl of medicine was delivered to Qi Wu's room, it was already [-]:[-] PM.
Because of fatigue and drowsiness, Qi Wu fell asleep in a daze after dinner.When Qi Jiang called him to drink the medicine, Qi Wu was in a daze.
The blue-and-white porcelain bowl contained black soup. The soup was steaming hot. Although it had cooled down, it was still a little hot in the mouth.The hotness is still a trivial matter, the main reason is that it is so bitter, Qi Wu doesn't know whether it's the medicine that hurts more, or the sour citrus in his mouth in the afternoon to stop dizziness.
Looking at the bowl full of medicine, the pale Qi Wu really wanted to yell, "I won't take this medicine anymore"... But it's a child's thing to be afraid of hardship and not take medicine. Qi Wu wants to save face.
After struggling again and again, Qi Jiang stared at him unblinkingly, Qi Wu sighed, and poured down the medicine in one go.
Then he was tortured so much that his whole body became sober.
Qi Jiang handed out the medicine bowl, and when he came back, he saw Qi Wu's sour face, and thought of the way he was drinking the medicine just now, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Shall I pour you a glass of water to rinse your mouth?" Qi Jiang asked.
Qi Wu shook his head: "Forget it, what if the effect of the medicine is diluted." The sooner he recovers from his illness, the sooner his low-grade fever subsides, he can drink less medicine. Anyway, Qi Wu doesn't want to drink anymore, he just wants to sleep I feel like I'll be fine tomorrow morning.
When he was awake, Qi Wu casually glanced at the window with only a gap open, and asked Qi Jiang, "What time is it?"
Qi Jiang blinked: "It's half past Haishi, what's wrong?"
Qi Wu silently recited Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Noon Shen You Xu Hai in his heart... It should be around ten o'clock in the evening now.
At this moment in ancient times, this time is already very late.
"Then why don't you go back to your room to sleep?" Qi Wu said, "Go back to sleep, I've taken all the medicine now, I can't do anything else, don't waste your time here."
Qi Jiang hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "I...how about I stay here to watch over you, you are still burning, what if you get sicker at night, what do you want to do? I don't care. Yes, anyway, these days from morning till night... I'm either in a daze or sleeping, and it doesn't hurt at all if I don't sleep for a night or two."
"Go to sleep and have a good rest."
Seeing that Qi Jiang's attitude was not reluctant, Qi Wu didn't say anything else, and watched Qi Jiang sit down on the chair next to the bed again... Anyway, he was not sleepy now, so Qi Wu leaned against the head of the bed and spoke slowly.
"You agreed to Qi An's request to enter the palace on your behalf. It can be said that it was affected by Qi An's mother-in-law and the danger of the Qi family. What about me?" Qi Wu blinked lightly, "Frankly speaking, I don't think I It's easy to get along with, especially when you were very cold at the beginning, but you are still very close to me along the way, and now you are doing your best to take care of me, what is the reason?"
"I..." Qi Jiang was somewhat at a loss for words when asked, hesitantly hesitated, "I...don't know...Although you don't seem to want to befriend me, but...I think you are very nice. Moreover, I also thought before that we are going to enter the palace together, so I just want to get closer to you..."
Biting his lips, Qi Jiang said a little discouraged: "Maybe you think I'm weird, but I really think you are very good. Although you are relatively alienated from me, I still like to talk to you very much, without any reluctance. of."
"I...Actually, I..." Qi Jiang thought for a while, and said honestly with embarrassment, "You said in the afternoon that life is short, and I can do what I do to be happy. But in fact, sometimes I am not very happy. ...I don't have the idea of self-sacrifice and generosity as you mentioned, but sometimes...it's very difficult, I don't know what to do, I don't want to let the other party down and unhappy...I just tell myself, anyway, it's right for me It doesn't matter, so why not promise the other party..."
It's just that when he was in the Qi clan's land, at most he agreed to help with moving things, sorting out sundries, and agreeing to other people's shift requests during shifts, which were harmless and trivial things to Qi Jiang.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in the clan land, so it doesn't matter if you do a little more.Sometimes Qi Jiang was in a difficult situation, so he told himself like this.
Until the matter of entering the palace to serve the emperor... In fact, it was not only embarrassing, after Qi Jiang subconsciously agreed at night, it was not without regret and annoyance.But he has already agreed, Qi Jiang can only tell himself that he is only entering the palace, as long as he lives in peace, keeps a low profile and be careful in everything... he won't live too badly.
After all, people outside the Qi clan seem to think that entering the palace is a great thing.
Even if they are from the Qi clan, it shouldn't be too bad to enter the palace...
Now sitting beside Qi Wu's bed, Qi Jiang's mood suddenly became very low.
Qi Wu looked at his expression and blinked.
……
"The Qi people's health is too bad. They are still men. I said earlier that they don't cause trouble, but now they are troublesome."
There were not so many rooms on the ship, except for Liu Lu in the envoys, the others including Xie Jing Xing shared a room with several people and slept in Datong bunk.Although the candles were extinguished right now, in the room closest to the kitchen, several people were still asleep and gossiping.
"That's right, how old is Dr. Wu, and he's still busy making medicine for the Qi people."
"Fortunately, this is on a boat. There is a doctor who is always there for twelve hours. If we ride horses and the two Qi people ride in a carriage like before, then the Qi people will be troublesome when they are sick."
"By the way, did I ask that fellow Xie Jingxing to be out of his mind? Helping Lord Liu with errands is a serious business, but I think he took care of those two Qi clansmen as if he really fell in love with him, as if he really regarded that Qi clansman as a There are so many amazing characters, people laugh to death."
"Don't ask Xie Jingxing to hear your words. Although we all work for Master Liu, Master Liu values him. He heard that Master Liu is going to be promoted at the very beginning, so he will directly choose one of us for his current job. Going up to stand against it, it must be this Xie Jingxing. Master Liu has a cold face and a warm heart, and he doesn't care if we say something bad, but Xie Jingxing is a reckless man, he must pay back some respect before he doesn't care."
"Xie Jingxing, doesn't he respect His Royal Highness King Lang? If you ask me, he is a strange person. I heard that he is also a student of a scholarly family. He insists on joining the army, but he always praises King Lang..."
This made some people unhappy: "Hey, you said Xie Jing Xinggui, but don't talk about His Royal Highness Lang. Isn't His Royal Highness worthy of praise and respect? We can safely eat military pay in the capital, and we don't have to worry about being called someday. The bloody battle on the frontier is all due to His Royal Highness Lang!"
"But... If you want me to say, His Royal Highness Prince Lang really has a bad reputation. Two years ago when he returned to Wendu, when he went to the palace to meet the emperor, he had a fit of anger... I have a distant relative I worked as an official in the palace, and I used to serve the Imperial Garden, but I was implicated and fined and sent to the Gongshiting Court, I met him by chance when I was on duty at the palace gate, his whole person is quite different, his hair is much thinner."
"Hey!" Someone laughed, "Aren't there eunuchs in the palace? You have relatives who have entered the palace and become eunuchs?"
The person who spoke just now was not happy: "It's said that it's from a distant house! We haven't had any contact since 800 years ago!"
There was a lot of noise in the house, and it took a long time for it to subside.
……
Qi Jiang slept at the table all night, and woke up suddenly the next morning, and subconsciously glanced at Qi Wu who was still asleep.
After hesitating for a while, Qi Jiang gently reached out to touch Qi Wu's forehead.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Qi Wu's low fever subsided.
As soon as he withdrew his hand, Qi Jiang found that Qi Wu had woken up. He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Did I wake you up? Do you still feel uncomfortable? I just touched your forehead, it seems that it is not hot gone."
"It's okay." Qi Wu stretched out his hand from under the quilt and touched his head, then said in a relaxed tone.
Dr. Wu also came again early in the morning to give Qi Wu a diagnosis.After confirming that his fever was gone, Dr. Wu stroked the beard on his chin: "Although the fever is gone, I will boil some medicine for Mr. Qi later..."
"No need, thank you Doctor Wu." Qi Wu replied without hesitation, "I'm really fine, I..."
Doctor Wu interrupted earnestly: "Young master Qi, you should listen to me, doctor."
What can Qi Wu do?
When Dr. Wu delivered the medicine, he pinched his nose and wrinkled his face and drank it forcefully.
After drinking the medicine, Qi Wu felt weak from the bitter taste: "Qi Jiang, go back to your room and rest, I'm really fine here."
Seeing Qi Wu like this, Qi Jiang couldn't help laughing.
The door was knocked again, Qi Jiang went to open the door, and came back with a small paper bag in his hand.
"Dr. Wu just delivered medicine, so I asked the boy at your door to go to the kitchen to ask for some sugar. The kitchen gave him a pack of candied fruit, but it wasn't much. Fortunately, you don't need to drink any more medicine." Qi Jiang said and opened the paper bag, and then carefully handed it to Qi Wu, "Qi Wu, would you... want to taste a little?"
Bitter in the mouth, it is good to eat some candied fruit.Qi Wu looked up at Qi Jiang for a while, then lowered his gaze, and reached out to take a small piece of ginger-yellow candied fruit.
He drank the medicine in the morning, and after lunch, he drank a bowl of medicine at the insistence of Dr. Wu. Finally, he was forgiven by Doctor Wu "no need to drink the medicine". Qi Wu was so comfortable that he ate all the candied fruit at once.
Then he was so sweet that he drank several large cups of hot tea.
……
Everyone thought that Qi Wu's illness was cured, and Qi Wu really thought so.
A few hours later, Qi Wu had just finished his dinner when he suddenly began to feel weak in his limbs again.He raised his hand and touched his forehead... If nothing else happened, he should have started to have a low fever again.
"What kind of physique is this..." Qi Wu lamented to himself, thinking that he couldn't hide his illness from medical treatment, so he had to call Dr. Wu again and drink a few more bowls of bitter medicine.It's a pity that the candied fruit made him greedy and ate it up. No matter how bitter the medicine is, there is no sweet taste.
... But just as he stretched out his hand to open the door, Qi Wu suddenly remembered something, then his face changed slightly, and he withdrew his hand.
"Fuck, you can ignore such an important matter, Qi Wu, are you a pig..." Silently scolding himself, Qi Wu lay back on the bed by himself.
The Qi people have a special physique. After they are full, they will face a fever similar to the estrus once a month. The whole person's state is like taking the most powerful aphrodisiac. Although they can survive by force, they can survive after a few days Toss the dead.
But it's just a relatively standard node, not completely certain.Most people will enter the burning period within a month after they are full, and occasionally someone will be a little earlier or a little later, but sooner or later it will not exceed three months.
And preparations for the heat-up period are not unforeseen.
Every Qi nationality who is about to enter the fever period will start about half a year in advance, and will enter low-grade fever for a few days every month.Fortunately, apart from the low-grade fever, there are no other symptoms, and there is no need to take special medicine to treat it. After a few days, it will heal on its own.
... Qi Wu actually came here through the book, and he didn't have such a strong sense of belonging and identification with the special identity of the Qi people. Before thinking about running away, what he thought most about was how to run, where to run, and what to do after running. Where to go, as for how to avoid being discovered as a member of the Qi clan, what Qi Wu thinks most about is how to cover up and get rid of the marks on the back of his neck.
Qi Wu really hasn't had time to pay attention to this unscrupulous physique during the fever period.After all, according to the original plot, Qi Wu and Qi Jiang, the two members of the Qi tribe, both entered the burning period for the first time after entering the palace.
Qi Jiang, who is the protagonist, is still more than half a year away from Manchuria, and it took another two months after entering the palace to show symptoms of continuous low-grade fever, and the fever period was even later.As for the villain's cannon fodder, "Qi Wu" entered the heat-up period for the first time four or five months after entering the palace.
If it weren't for the physique of the hot period, the villain "Qi Wu" would not have been able to have anything to do with the protagonist's attack on the Emperor Shang Wenjin of the Zhou Dynasty.
……
After having dinner in his own room, Qi Jiang was still a little worried about Qi Wu's situation, although he said that Qi Wu was already well, but... After hesitating, he came to Qi Wu's room again and knocked on the door.
"You push the door and come in." Inside the room, Qi Wu was lying on the bed too lazy to get up, anyway, it was Qi Jiang who knocked on the door outside, so he didn't bother about wearing a veiled hat.
Qi Jiang pushed the door open, and when he entered the room, he saw Qi Wu lying listlessly on the bed, as if he had returned to yesterday's illness, he was startled: "Qi Wu, you..."
Qi Wu raised his hand, put it between his lips, and gave a soft "shush": "It's okay."
Qi Jiang frowned, approached, and whispered, "Are you still feeling unwell? Shall I call Dr. Wu again? Don't worry about causing trouble, anyway... Anyway, those people have objections to us. , more or less is almost the same..."
"No." Qi Wu half-closed his eyes, and spoke lazily, "Didn't you have a low-grade fever for a few days every month in the first half of the fever period? This should be the reason."
"..." Qi Jiang was at a loss for words for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned red.
The author has something to say:
Double change the word count, make up yesterday's!
Is it because I am too lazy to write words, so the treasures are too lazy to comment on me TUT
I am anxious to write daily code words, Gongshou, why haven’t we met yet? Whose relationship has flowed [-] words? Gongshou hasn’t met yet (??_?`)
Current impressions of each other:
Shang Fuheng: Qi Wu, isn't he one of the two tool Qi people!
Qi Wu: Shang Fuheng, that villain who got sick in his head and finally died?
