Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 299 That’s a pity

"Qinghan, where have you been?"

When Li Junyong returned to the room, he did not see Gu Qinghan.

He put the buns for Gu Qinghan on the table and went to the well in the backyard.

Just then, I saw Gu Qinghan walking in from outside with a bag on his back, dressed in dry clothes, and even changed his clothes.

"Just go this way and there's a river and a sheltered place where you can wash up."

Gu Qinghan saw Li Junyong fetching water and said.

"That's very nice. I'll go then." Li Junyong stopped fetching water immediately after hearing this. He turned around and ran into the room with the change of clothes. He ran along the route Gu Qinghan pointed out and said, "Qinghan, I left some buns for you. Eat them while they're hot."

Gu Qinghan took out the wet clothes from the cloth bag, hung them on the rack in the corridor in the yard, and went into the house.

He took a bun and started eating, then looked out the window.

……

It was late at night and Gu Qinghan had become accustomed to Li Junyong's snoring.

The window was wide open and only a shadow flashed by, followed by a gust of wind without making any sound.

The moonlight shines through the gaps between the towering bamboos and falls to the ground.

A faint white light flashed behind a stone. Gu Qinghan followed the instructions in his mind and pressed the talisman paper that appeared out of thin air in his hand to the ground until it disappeared.

Gu Qinghan suddenly felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away. He sat down on the ground, leaning against a stone. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and calmed himself down.

He lowered his eyes to look at the disappearing talisman paper, then raised his eyes to look at the sky.

Close your eyes.

The figure disappeared instantly.

……

When I opened my eyes again.

I have returned to the familiar courtyard.

Gu Qinghan's eyes flickered slightly.

It turns out that it can’t be achieved in one go, and I have to do it again.

Close your eyes again.

As usual, it hit the bed, but fortunately no one was hit.

The moonlight is very bright tonight, casting a ray of light in through the window.

Gu Qinghan opened his eyes and saw the familiar roof and smelled the familiar fragrance. He turned his head to look at Xu Yuan who was sleeping soundly beside him, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

It’s great that I can come and see you from time to time.

He raised his hand and lifted half of Xuyuan's hair, then gently pinched Xuyuan's earlobe.

Moving his eyes downward, he saw the bruises and some scratches on the side of Xuyuan's elbow.

Gu Qinghan had a deep look on his face.

A big hand came over, trying to help Xu Yuan disperse the tears.

Just why is it so hot.

Gu Qinghan quickly touched Xu Yuan’s forehead and found it was incredibly hot.

"Ayuan, wake up." Gu Qinghan called Xuyuan softly and patted her shoulder.

"Um……"

I just heard Xuyuan's hum, turned over, and reached out to cover my head with the quilt.

Gu Qinghan felt somewhat helpless and lifted the quilt that was covering Xu Yuan’s head.

He got up, took the towel from the rack, and went out. He brought in a basin of cold water, wet the towel, wrung it half dry, and covered the forehead with it.

He went into the kitchen, lit the fire, and touched the teapot on the stove. The water was still lukewarm.

Gu Qinghan had no choice but to fill the pot with water, light a fire and boil it.

I found a medicine jar, opened the cupboard, and looked for herbs that could cause fever.

The last time I came here, I saw Xu Yuan had categorized the herbs and written down the information, so it was easy to find them now.

Pour two bowls of water and medicinal materials into the medicine pot, and light a fire at a small stove.

After the fire was lit, I put a full load of firewood in it and sat for a while.

I went back to the room where I made a wish, wet the towel again and applied it to my forehead.

He took out some medicine powder from his bosom, sprinkled some on Xuyuan's arm, and rubbed it vigorously.

Feeling the pain, Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He shouted sternly, "Who!" He approached the man, grabbed his shoulders, and flipped him over on the bed. He pinched Gu Qinghan's neck with one hand, and the towel covering his forehead fell to the ground.

Gu Qinghan was caught off guard and fell on the bed. The hand tightly around his neck made it difficult for him to breathe.

He exerted force to pull his hand off, pressed Xuyuan under his body, and held Xuyuan's wrist tightly with both hands.

"Ahem, ahem, Ayuan, can you see clearly who I am?" Gu Qinghan approached Xuyuan, his eyes met a pair of vigilant eyes, their noses touching, and he spoke gently.

Xu Yuan came back to his senses, retracted his vigilant eyes, and turned his face to the side.

"Don't come so close, let me go."

Xu Yuan felt his throat was dry, his whole body was weak, and his face was very hot. He was afraid that he had caught a cold because his clothes were soaked with sweat and he had not changed them, and he was blown by the cold wind.

"Ah."

Gu Qinghan chuckled, let go of Xu Yuan's hand, stood up, touched Xu Yuan's forehead, rubbed her arm with his big hand, and asked, "How did you get the bruise on your arm?"

"It's okay, I just blocked the falling bamboo."

Xu Yuan withdrew his hands and leaned against the head of the bed.

"Ayuan, you wait here, I'll go check the fire." Gu Qinghan remembered the fire on the stove and turned to go out.

After a moment, he brought a bowl of medicine and a teapot and placed them on the table. He reached out to wipe the water stains on the table. The cup of water was already placed on the cabinet beside the bed.

There was a bulge in the bed, and no head was visible.

Gu Qinghan picked up the medicine soup, stirred it to cool it down, moved the empty teacup aside, and put the medicine soup aside.

"Awish!"

Gu Qinghan pulled the quilt, pulled Xu Yuan up, and woke her up softly, "Take the medicine."

Xu Yuan actually didn’t fall asleep completely, he just dozed off for a while, and woke up when Gu Qinghan called him.

"Thank you."

Xu Yuan thanked him with a hoarse voice, took the medicine soup that Gu Qinghan put in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.

The taste is a bit bitter, but still acceptable.

Unexpectedly, just after drinking the medicine soup, a candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth. It was so sweet that Xu Yuan was confused. "Did you find where I put the candied fruit?"

"You put it together with the medicine bag, do you still need to look for it?" Gu Qinghan put the bowl aside and touched Xu Yuan's forehead again.

"Gu Qinghan, did you put the things away?"

"Ah."

"It's a remote bamboo forest. There aren't many people passing by. There are shelters. It's quite far from the market."

Gu Qinghan nodded and looked at Xu Yuan with burning eyes.

Xu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and pushed Gu Qinghan.

"Okay, I get it. You didn't have to come here to tell me. It's so late. Go back."

"Ayuan, what I actually want to ask is, how did you talk to me that day? Can I do the same?"

"You can't do it, only I can do it." Xu Yuan answered without thinking.

"Really?" Gu Qinghan asked back.

"Ah."

Gu Qinghan sighed slightly, what a pity.

He stood up and brought the medicine bowl on the bedside table, took the teapot, poured the steaming hot water into the teacup, put the teapot on the cabinet, and said to Xu Yuan, "This is hot water. I have added some cold water to it. You can drink it directly."

After saying that, he walked to the side of the bed and lay down.
