Chapter 36

Ou Zixi didn't fall asleep all night, and Orion's family had to look for food during the day.

If they don't go out for a day to find food, they may run out of food at any time.This is the price of living in the forest, with inconvenient transportation and almost cut off from the outside world.

Before Orion left, he had prepared herbs and food for them.

There were only him and Ou Ruoling left in the house, and Ou Zixi could only cook and cook medicine by himself.

Ou Ruoling still had a high fever and was a little unconscious, but he still held onto Ou Zixi's hand tightly and refused to let go. He could only drag his tired body to take care of her himself, and stayed by her side all day long.

At ten noon, it was time for Ou Ruoling to take medicine again.He went out to make medicine while she was asleep.

It took Ou Zixi a long time to light the fire.His lighter had fallen into the forest, and they used carbon seedlings to ignite it.

The medicine had been boiled for more than two hours, but Ou Zixi was very patient, adding dry firewood while running back to the room to see if she woke up.

Ou Ruoling had a severe fever and couldn't eat at all, so she could only take the medicine after the herbs were brewed.But he forgot himself and didn't eat anything all day.

Until evening, Orion went home.Seeing the untouched food, she knew that Ou Zixi hadn't eaten, so she immediately made dinner.

"Mr. Ou, your wife's condition should not be that serious, so you don't have to worry too much." Orion comforted.

Ou Zixi nodded, and kept turning her head to look into the room while eating.Worried that she won't be able to see herself when she wakes up and is scared.

"I really envy the relationship between your husband and wife. Good people will be rewarded." Orion's wife added.

Ou Zixi was startled when he heard the word husband and wife.However, he did not refute, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart. He felt that such a title sounded very pleasant to his ears.

Halfway through the meal, Ou Ruoling in the room made another sound.Ou Zixi immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks and ran into the house to take care of her. She didn't have a fever all day, so he couldn't sleep or eat.

After Orion finished his meal, he saw that Ou Zixi was still refusing to leave her side.Also, her high fever has not subsided, and he knew that the herb must be missing.

When he went out today, besides hunting, he deliberately searched for the herb that would reduce the fever quickly, but he couldn't find it.

"Mr. Ou, the reason why your wife's high fever persists may be because one of the herbs we prepared is missing." Orion didn't want to hide anything from him, so he told him the truth.

"What kind of herb is it?" Ou Zixi asked.

"Rush grass, but this kind of medicinal material mainly grows in swamps or watersides and damp environments. You also know that our place is a forest, and it is difficult to find such places."

Orion shook his head helplessly, he still couldn't find it after searching for it all day today.

"Rush? What does it look like?" Ou Zixi remembered that when he was looking for water last night, there were some plants growing beside him.It's just that he couldn't tell if it was the rush in Orion's mouth.

Orion roughly described the shape of the plant, and he felt that the plant he described was somewhat similar to what he saw last night.Immediately thought of going back to the place last night to find herbs.

"Please take care of her for me, I know where there are rushes." Ou Zixi has already decided to go to that place.

"Mr. Ou, I'll accompany you. It's already night and it's not safe to be alone." Orion said with concern.

"No need, you take care of my family at home and help me take care of her." As he said that, Ou Zixi was about to go to the forest they passed by yesterday.

In fact, he wasn't sure if it was the rush grass, but seeing Xiao Ling suffering, he couldn't calm down for a moment.Xiao Ling's high fever has not gone away, and they can't go out, and it will be bad if the condition worsens.

Orion couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go alone, not only gave him a light but also a compass.Just in case he lost his way.

Although Ou Ruoling was lying in a coma on the hospital bed, she seemed to know that Ou Zixi had left him. After he left, she kept chanting his name.

It was very late at night, but there was still no sign of Ou Zixi's return.The Orion family didn't fall asleep because of their worries, they sat and waited for his return.

"Do you think he might get lost?" Orion's wife looked outside anxiously and asked.

"He has a compass, so I believe he won't get lost. What I'm more worried about is that he encounters wild animals. If he does, he will be in trouble." He knows that there are all kinds of wild animals in this forest. As a hunter, he sometimes needs to be cautious. .

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Ou Ruoling fainted after midnight.It was early morning when she woke up, but her high fever never got better.

"Miss Ou, you're awake." Orion's wife was waiting by her side, watching her wake up and bringing her food right away.

"What about him?" Ou Ruoling looked around the room anxiously, and started to panic after not seeing Ou Zixi's figure.

"He went out to find herbs for you, and he didn't come back after a whole night." Orion's wife told her the truth without thinking too much.

"Didn't you come back all night?" Ou Ruoling asked nervously, holding her hand.

She nodded. They were also worried about him and didn't know what happened on the road.

"I'm going to find him." Ou Ruoling was very emotional, and spent the whole night in the forest, what if he encountered a poisonous snake or other aggressive animals like the night before?
Orion's wife kept persuading her, but no one could stop Ou Ruoling from being willful.Regardless of her own fever, she walked out of the house weakly.

After walking a few steps, she was already out of breath, and her forehead felt hotter under the sun.Orion's wife supported her and kept persuading her to go back and rest.

But she just refused and insisted on going to Ou Zixi.

"If anything happens to him, I will never forgive myself in my life." Ou Ruoling cried, thinking that her brother came to this forest to take risks because of her, and felt bad.

In case something happens to him, she doesn't even have the idea of ​​living, so she doesn't care about having a high fever at the moment.

With that said, she continued to walk forward, using all her strength.

"Xiao Ling." A familiar figure appeared in the distance and walked towards them, holding many kinds of plants in his hands.

The reason why Ou Zixi didn't come back all night was because he didn't know what the rushes that Orion mentioned looked like.So as long as it is a plant that grows by the water, he brought it back and spent a lot of time.

Seeing Ou Zixi, Ou Ruoling was very emotional and ran towards him.

"you come back."

As if the two were about to meet again, Ou Zixi gave Orion's wife the herbal medicine in his hand, and hugged her tightly.

"Fool, why did you come out before you recovered from your illness?"

"I'm worried about you, I'm worried that you will never come back." Ou Ruoling cried.

"I won't leave you alone, for the rest of my life." After finishing speaking, Ou Zixi picked her up and walked towards Orion's house.

The moment Ou Ruoling who was stimulated just now was hugged by him, he had a headache and passed out again.

Among the plants Ou Zixi brought back happened to be rushes, and Orion's wife immediately went to boil the medicine.Ou Zixi stayed by Ou Ruoling's side every step of the way.

"Xiao Ling, you must be fine."

Seeing her pale face, Ou Zixi felt very distressed.

Soon the medicinal herb was brewed, and Ou Zixi hurriedly gave it to her.From Orion's mouth, if there is no accident, the high fever will subside after an hour of taking the potion with rush grass.

This hour was a torment for Ou Zixi!
An hour passed, and sure enough, Ou Ruoling's high fever had obviously improved, but she still didn't wake up.Then her high fever subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Ou, you can rest assured now, her high fever has subsided." Orion's wife came to comfort him and told him to have lunch.

Ou Zixi didn't see her wake up, and she didn't have any appetite.He has not eaten or slept well for two days, and his whole body has lost weight.

The Orion family understood him and did not persuade him much.

Finally, Ou Zixi, who was exhausted, fell asleep on her bedside.

Ou Ruoling's high fever had receded and she woke up. She felt a warmth in her little hand, and when she looked around, she saw that his hand was holding her tightly.

"elder brother."

Ou Ruoling cried out in a low voice.

Looking at the haggard Ou Zixi, she felt very complicated.But I'm also very glad that my brother was able to return safely last night to find medicine for himself.

Fortunately, he came back. If he didn't come back, she really couldn't imagine what she would be like.

For the first time, Ou Ruoling realized that he was so important in her heart, several times more important than she imagined.

"You're awake." Ou Zixi felt the movement and woke up.

"Well, brother, you've lost weight." Ou Ruoling's eyes were red again, and she felt a pang of apology when she saw that her brother even risked his life because of the hardship she endured.

"You're thinner, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Ou Zixi's mouth curled up, and he was about to get up and bring food in.

But he was held back by Ou Ruoling.

"Brother, don't leave Xiaoling, okay?" Ou Ruoling suddenly felt that she couldn't leave him so much.

"Okay! My brother swears that if one day he leaves you, he will be struck by lightning." Ou Zixi made the oath jokingly.

"You can't say that about yourself." Ou Ruoling said in a coquettish tone.

He took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside her bed, hugged her, and hugged her petite body to his chest.

"Xiao Ling, let me tell you the truth, I will never leave you in my life. Because I want to protect you and give you happiness."

Ou Zixi uttered her heart affectionately.

Ou Ruoling didn't think too much for a while, after all, he was her closest relative in her heart.

"Xiao Ling will never make my brother unhappy again, will never be willful again, will never get angry with my brother for no reason, and will never run away from home again. From now on, I will obediently listen to my brother."

"As long as you can stay by my side like you are now, that's enough."

Ou Zixi thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud.Although these two days have been difficult, he feels that everything is worth it.At least Xiaoling felt alienated and indifferent to him as he returned to the past.

Ou Ruoling also hugged him, and the two embraced affectionately.

The hunter's wife outside the door came in with food and happened to see this scene.In their eyes, they all mistakenly thought that they were husband and wife, and felt that the sweet scene in front of them should not be disturbing.

So she turned around with the food in her hand, but Ou Ruoling saw her.She quickly pushed Ou Zixi away and coughed a few times on purpose.

"I didn't come at the right time." Orion's wife said awkwardly.

"Why bother seeing outsiders, these days are thanks to you for taking me in, otherwise Xiaoling and I don't know what will happen now." Ou Zixi has always been grateful to this family.

In front of them, Ou Zixi also changed from her usual cold face, and kept smiling all the time.
