They say it's sick

Chapter 31

When Yunzhi returned home, it was approaching the curfew again.

The days of summer are long, the sun has not completely set, and the remaining afterglow dyes the sky red, which is very gorgeous.

Chen Jin leaned on the recliner under the tree, shaking a cattail fan in his hand, he didn't know whether he was chasing away mosquitoes or enjoying the shade, when he saw Yun Zhi enter the door, he yawned lazily: "Is that kid really sick?"

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi replied, "It's wind-heat, and the fever hasn't subsided after a whole day."

"It's really unlucky to have a fever in this hot day..." Chen Jin shook his head, "I have to talk about the terrible weather in the capital, not to mention his weak and sick, but I am so strong and strong. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it for a while."

As he spoke, he vigorously shook the cattail fan in his hand and wailed feebly: "It's so hot!"

"Indeed..." Yun Zhi walked closer, took the cattail fan in Chen Jin's hand and fanned it twice, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said suddenly, "Go and clean up, and go to the mountains tomorrow to escape the summer heat."

"Okay... ah, no..." Chen Jin sat up and looked at Yunzhi, "Although the news from Pingzhou has not come back, we have to stand still for the time being. But you just reported to Suwei Mansion this morning, so you have to pretend How is it?"

There was a large space on the reclining chair, and Yun Zhi took the opportunity to sit on it: "No need..."

"No need?" Chen Jin was puzzled.

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi closed his eyes slightly, "The weather in the capital city is too hot and Li Yan's illness has not healed anymore, so that steward Xiao arranged for him to go to the mountains to escape the summer heat, and invited me to go with him, saying that he could also be a treat for Li Yan. with."

Chen Jin blinked: "Then?"

"Then Li Yan said that I just went to Suwei Mansion to report, and I might have a shift tomorrow. Manager Xiao asked me to come back and pack my bags, and he will take care of the rest..." Yunzhi opened her eyes, and raised her jaw at Chen Jin, " So, go clean up."

Chen Jin was silent for a while, feeling that something was wrong: "Then you want to go?"

"Since there's nothing to do right now, why don't you go?" Yun Zhi looked at him, "You don't like Li Yan?"

"That's not it."

Chen Jin thought about it carefully, in fact, he and Li Yan only dealt with each other directly during those few days in Youzhou.

At the beginning, because of his not-so-pleasant first impression and having Li Xuan as his father, he also had some criticisms, but he has always been big-hearted, and after getting in touch with him, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Yan other than being a little weird.

Afterwards, Yun Zhi and Li Yan became acquainted. Although Chen Jin felt puzzled, he gradually changed his impression of this person.

Perhaps it was because Yunzhi was in a good mood when she came back from the palace several times.

Thinking about it this way, other things don't seem to be that important.

"If you think you can go, then go..." Chen Jin clapped his hands, "It just so happens that I can't stand this horrible weather anymore!"

After finishing speaking, he simply got up, and pushed Yun Zhi who was lying on the ground by the way: "Let's go, go back and pack your things!"

Yun Zhi responded but didn't move, and even closed her eyelids.

Seeing his state, Chen Jin stopped wasting his efforts, muttered a few words in a low voice, got up and walked to his room.

He said he was packing his things, but after many years of marching and fighting, Chen Jin had already developed the habit of traveling lightly and lightly. He packed a few changes of clothes indiscriminately, and simply wiped his usual long sword.

So in the early morning of the next day, when he came out of the room with a small bag and a long sword on his back, he bumped into two young servants carrying a huge wooden box out of Yun Zhi's room, there was a moment of silence.

Although he knew that Yunzhi was a troublesome person who would even bring two pieces of fox fur when traveling in winter, the wooden box in front of him still shocked him, and he couldn't help but look at Yunzhi: "It's just going to the mountains to escape the summer heat, so many clothes Is it a bit exaggerated?"

"Who says it's all clothes?" Yun Zhi explained, "Since it's summer vacation, I have to stay for a while, so I brought the pillows and thin quilts I'm used to sleeping on on weekdays, so as not to affect my rest by choosing a seat. I bought some books, just to pass the time."

Chen Jin looked at the wooden box, then at Yunzhi, and always felt that his summer vacation was different from what he thought.

"It's packed?" Yun Zhi glanced at Chen Jin's little baggage, apparently not understanding why he only brought so little, but didn't say anything more, "Let's go..."

The carriage of the palace was waiting at the door early in the morning.

Yun Zhi watched Chen Jin wave his hands and got on the horse, then looked up at the sun that had not fully risen, and got into the carriage almost without any hesitation.Then I saw Li Yan who was leaning on the wall of the car and reading a book with downcast eyes.

Yun Zhi was startled: "I thought I would go back to the palace to pick you up later."

"I got up early, so I came here together..." Li Yan turned the pages of the book, raised his eyes and smiled slightly, "It's just right to leave."

The carriage is spacious enough for two people to sit without feeling crowded. There are also a lot of books, and even tea cups and pastries are prepared.

Yun Zhi sat down next to Li Yan, picked up the book and flipped through it, a little surprised: "The Doctrine of the Mean?"

"Hmm..." Li Yan nodded, and showed Yunzhi the "University" in his hand, "Although I can read, I have read a lot of miscellaneous books over the years. Not much, I happen to be looking around casually when I have time recently."

Speaking of this, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking at Yun Zhi with his eyes, "If there is something I don't understand, I may ask you for advice."

"You may have misunderstood me a bit..." Yunzhi shook the book in his hand at him, "I...in my mother's words, I have my own ideas since I was a child, or I may be born arrogant. These books I Indeed, I have read them all, but I haven’t learned much about them. I accept all the opinions I agree with, and forget all the opinions I don’t agree with... So if you are free, just chat. If you want to ask for advice, then I can turn around just go."

"If you say that, I'm relieved..." Li Yan bent his lips, "I happen to be not a serious student either."

Probably because he had a good rest the night before, Li Yan's complexion recovered a lot, and his eyes were bright again. When he spoke, his brows and eyes were smiling, with a little tenderness that he didn't have on weekdays, which made Yunzhi feel dazed for a moment.

When I met him for the first time, I thought this person was a Rakshasa, but after a few months, I couldn't help but sigh at this face.

Yun Zhi lowered her eyes, laughing at herself in her heart, but couldn't help but look up at Li Yan: "Fever gone?"

While talking, the carriage wobbled and started, Li Yan simply closed the book, stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea to Yun Zhi, and then responded: "I stopped burning before going to bed last night, I slept well, and woke up this morning. Quite a few."

Yun Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "I'll take you hunting when you feel better in a few days."

After saying this, he saw Li Yan looking over with surprise in his eyes, and he tilted his head: "When you were in the village, did you hunt?"

"No..." Li Yan shook his head, "It's been a long time for the mountains to be covered by heavy snow in northern Liaobei, and I'm not in good health. I will find some wild vegetables, gather some herbs, and hunt, so I dare not think about it."

"Then you can think about it today..." Yun Zhi said, leaning against the wall of the car, "When we were in Youzhou, apart from the usual hunting every year, Chen Jin and I would also go to the mountains in private when we had free time. Turning around, one year, the two of us carried a colorful tiger back home, and Shu'er, who came out to look for me, was so frightened that he cried and was almost kicked out of the house by my mother."

When he was talking about these things, he was in high spirits, which made Li Yan immediately think of the young man who was wrapped in fox fur and showed a pair of bright and big eyes when he first met.

Although many things happened after that, and he experienced extreme pain, this person still carried an undisguised wantonness, which was different from Xiao Duo's kind of wantonness cultivated in a high position, Yun Zhi was more free and easy. Casualness, maybe because of birth, or because of nature, or because of enough transparency.

This is something Li Yanqiong couldn't do in his entire life.

Although he was envious, he was not jealous, and even had a faint thought in his heart——hope that Yun Zhi could always be like this.

Aware of Li Yan's silence, Yun Zhi paused slightly, put down her teacup, poured another cup and handed it over: "The weather is hot, drink more water."

Li Yan took it with both hands: "Okay..."

Seeing that he drank the water, and his slightly chapped lips were moistened, Yun Zhi followed what he had just said and continued: "There should be no wild beasts in the mountains near the capital, there should be some pheasants, wild deer and the like, just hit a few I just come back to try something new, I heard that there is a mountain stream near the Taoist temple, you can also catch a few fish, and come back to make soup for you to nourish your body."

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, Yunzhi talked a lot today, Li Yan listened quietly, and really began to look forward to the days ahead.

The carriage walked along the official road for more than half a day, took a rest at a tea stand in the middle, and then drove up a small road in the mountains and forests, going round and round all the way, and finally arrived before dark.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the place Xiao Luo chose for Li Yan to recuperate was the Taoist temple hidden in the mountains mentioned by Yun Li earlier. There are many, very quiet, surrounded by green trees, and there are streams passing through the mountains and forests. The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant. It is a good place for summer vacation.

Chen Jin rode the horse all the way. At first he felt that the sun was too big and he was uncomfortable in the sun. Afterwards, he entered the mountain, where the trees were shady, and it was really cool, so he became interested.

When I dismounted from the horse at the gate of the Taoist temple, I was still full of energy, and I didn't feel tired from running around all day.

Yun Zhi opened the curtain of the car and saw him looking at the mountain gate of the Taoist temple with great interest, and couldn't help but look back.

Li Yan was still sick. Although he traveled all the way in the carriage, he was still chatting with Yun Zhi at first, but in the afternoon, his face became a bit tired, and he leaned on the wall of the carriage and fainted. He fell asleep deeply, and just woke up now, his face was still pale.

We still have to hurry up and get someone to find that quack doctor.

Thinking about it, Yun Zhi jumped out of the carriage, turned around and stretched out her hand into the carriage: "Here we are!"

Li Yan lowered his eyes, looked at the hand in a daze, then smiled, and put his hand on it: "Okay..."
