Chapter 73 So you’ll always be guarding me?
"What a heartless little bastard!"

The road condition was not good after the earthquake, and the donkey cart was shaking. After a short while, Shen Xiangwan dozed off and fell on Wei Chengyi. The latter quickly freed up one hand to hold her, letting her lie down on his legs, and then put his arms around her waist to prevent her from falling. He was gentle and considerate throughout the whole process, with helplessness and doting all over his heart.

Yan Lang, who was following the donkey cart, saw this scene and felt his stomach a little bloated, as if someone had forced something into his stomach.

In order to avoid being unable to enter the next county town, Zhao Shan and other escorts repeatedly urged everyone to speed up. They didn't even take a break at noon and arrived at Longshui County around 3:00 p.m.

The disaster here was also very serious. There were still soldiers guarding outside the city and the victims were not allowed to enter or leave at will. Fortunately, the exile team entered the city smoothly. Moreover, the post station was built with stone and did not completely collapse. Those collapsed areas were also repaired by the people in the post station.

The exiled team checked into the post station smoothly, but unfortunately, they had almost no money left and could only squeeze into the woodshed or the courtyard. Their only rations were the steamed buns distributed by the escort.

Wei Chengyi asked for six rooms in total, three for the Yan family and three for themselves. In order to let Shen Xiangwan have a good sleep, she lived in a room by herself this time.

"Um···"

At three quarters after noon, Shen Xiangwan, who was sleeping in the bed, turned over, groaned, and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the gray ceiling, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly jumped up.

"Are you awake? Come and have some porridge."

Wei Chengyi's deep and magnetic voice sounded. Shen Xiangwan turned her head reflexively and saw him sitting at the table looking at her quietly. Her dazed head gradually cleared up: "How long have I slept? Have we arrived in Longshui County and stayed in the post station?"

"Well, it didn't take long, just a few hours."

"How many hours?"

Shen Xiangwan, who had already gotten out of bed, paused, then suddenly took another step forward, leaned on the table and asked ambiguously: "So you've been guarding me all the time?"

"···Um."

Obviously not expecting her to be so direct, Wei Chengyi was stunned for a moment before nodding. To prevent her from saying something more shocking, he picked up the bowl of porridge and said, "Eat it quickly, it's still hot."

In fact, the porridge had already gone cold, but he quietly used his internal energy to warm it up before handing it to her.

"hot?"

Don't think she didn't see it, it was obvious that he had just used his internal energy to warm it up.

Taking the bowl, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of his lips slightly. Is this the feeling of being pampered? It seems not bad.

Knowing that she had seen through him, Wei Chengyi said nothing. He picked up the teacup and sipped it leisurely. The two of them drank porridge quietly while one drank tea silently. The atmosphere was quite peaceful and beautiful.

"Finally alive."

Shen Xiangwan drank three bowls of mutton porridge in a row. After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he slumped in the chair, holding his stomach in his hands, without any image.

"What did you do last night?"

Taking advantage of her carelessness, Wei Chengyi asked casually.

"What else can you do? It's just... Damn, you're cheating."

Halfway through his words, Shen Xiangwan rolled his eyes speechlessly, then leaned over and said, "Stretch out your hand."

"Ah."

Although he didn't know what she was going to do, Wei Chengyi still stretched out his hand in front of her.

Shen Xiangwan stretched out two fingers and placed them on his pulse. Soon his expression changed from solemn to relaxed. After a while, he withdrew his hand. "If it weren't for your strong internal force, you would have died of the poison long ago. Therefore, you can't use your internal force for a long time. If you don't detoxify, you can only live for five years at most."

As he spoke, Shen Xiangwan pulled out iodine, a leather tube and a syringe from his sleeve pocket, and ignoring his strange gaze, drew a tube of blood from his body.

"Look."

Putting the transparent syringe filled with blood in front of him, Shen Xiangwan said in a deep voice: "Normal people's blood is bright red, but because of the poisoning, your blood is dark red and thicker than normal people's blood. This will put a great burden on your internal organs. Over time, they will be unable to bear the burden and fall into a state of paralysis, and your life will come to an end."

The poison in his body was more powerful than she had imagined. Even for her, it would be difficult to completely eliminate the toxins in one or two times.

"What is this?"

Compared to the poison in his body, Wei Chengyi was more curious about the syringe in her hand. If he remembered correctly, the Dragon Shadow Guard they caught last time fell into a state of dementia because he was pricked by this thing, and he wouldn't say anything he was asked.

"Nying needle." She was talking about the poison in his body, but he was only concerned about the needle?

Shen Xiangwan rolled his eyes speechlessly and casually stuffed the syringe into his sleeve pocket, but actually put it into the space.

"Needle?"

Wei Chengyi raised his eyebrows and became even more confused, but Shen Xiangwan didn't seem to want to help him figure it out. She looked up and asked, "Why don't I see mother and Ling'er?"

"···They are next door. I have booked three rooms. You can stay in one by yourself."

Realizing that she would not explain any more, Wei Chengyi could only sigh helplessly in his heart. His wife had too many secrets.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan subconsciously frowned, knowing what she was worried about. Wei Chengyi said in a deep voice: "It's okay, only we and the Yan family live upstairs, and my guards are outside and on alert at all times."

"Okay."

He said so, what else could she say?
Shen Xiangwan nodded. It was just right. She could go into the space tonight to study how to help him detoxify. Besides...

"What do the officials in Longshui County think? Do they still not care about the lives of the people?"

While asking, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Shen Xiangwan's eyes. If that was the case, she wouldn't mind continuing to go out tonight.

"Ah."

Wei Chengyi picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea. He pushed one of the cups in front of her before continuing, "The victims are still blocked outside the city. I have already called Qingying and the others to ask about it. The soldiers and officials of Longshui County have not been involved in the rescue work. The people can only clean up the ruins and dig up the bodies of their loved ones by themselves."

It was all the same as what he had seen in his previous life. There were very few officials like those in Tianhe County who were conscientious and capable.

"Really."

Her eyes darkened, Shen Xiangwan picked up the teacup, brought it to her mouth and drank it all in one gulp. It seemed that she would not be able to have a good rest tonight.

"Knock down!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and there was a knock on the door. Before they could react, the young cub's childish voice came from outside: "Aunt, Aunt, it's An Ge'er, are you awake?"

"coming."

Hearing this, the two smiled at each other, and Shen Xiangwan stood up and opened the door.

"Auntie."

The little cub, who was about to continue knocking on the door, was startled for a moment, then happily rushed over to hug her legs, raised his head and said crisply: "Auntie, I missed you."

Grandma and the others said that aunt was tired and was sleeping. He hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Really? How much do you want it?"

Bending down and picking him up, Shen Xiangwan's face was full of smiles.

"Think so!"

The little cub roughly gestured with his hands, and his attitude was very serious.

"Ha ha···"

Shen Xiangwan was amused by his actions, and leaned over to kiss his rosy little face: "What kind of a cutie is our An Ge'er? Auntie loves you so much."

"Whee!"

After receiving the sweet kiss from his aunt, the little cub smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not visible. He was so satisfied.
