Chapter 622: Exposed on the Spot
Jiang Ci said: "Brother Yan is still waiting for Master Hongyi to treat him. My body can hold on. If the snow stops in the evening, we will prepare to go into the mountains."
Yan Shu made a decision after pondering for a moment.
"Third brother's illness can be delayed for a few days, but you have a high fever now. If you force yourself to go on the journey, your condition may get worse in the mountains and it will delay your journey. It's better to recover before leaving. It's decided. We will wait for another day."
Jiang Ci thought what Yan Shu said made sense, so he nodded.
"Then I'll listen to you. I'll get better soon."
Yan Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have confidence in my medical skills. I guarantee that you will be full of energy tomorrow."
She handed over the antipyretic pill in her hand. Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu weakly and said, "I really don't have the strength. I have to trouble my sister-in-law to feed me the medicine."
Yan Shu:......
Is this man in front of me who looks like a sickly and delicate flower really the villain Jiang Ci who is decisive and good at breaking people's necks?
He wasn't getting sick on purpose, was he?
With his current physical condition, he would not fall ill just by going out to enjoy the snow scenery, unless he was so depressed that he soaked in cold water all night.
It seemed like she was being overly suspicious. Who would be so stupid as to deliberately make themselves sick? And Jiang Ci couldn't be fake in this state. His temperature should have been around 39 degrees.
Yan Shu resisted the urge to give up and silently repeated three times in his mind, "He is a patient!"
She handed the pill to Jiang Ci's mouth. Jiang Ci stared at her with his dark eyes, and cooperated by opening his mouth and taking the pill in Yan Shu's hand. His warm lips fell on her fingertips. Yan Shu's heartstrings tightened and he quickly pulled his hand back, but the numbness on his fingertips still hadn't dissipated.
Ah! This guy is definitely a goblin!
After taking the medicine, Jiang Ci leaned comfortably on Yan Shu's shoulder, smelling the faint fragrance from her body.
"Why does my sister-in-law always smell like flowers?"
Yan Shu was a little confused for a moment, he raised his arm and sniffed his sleeve, there was a very faint scent of incense, the laundry detergent used in the space was developed by her herself, because it was made of pure natural materials, in fact, there was no smell at all if you didn't smell it carefully.
Her eyes suddenly fell on the purse hanging around her waist, and then she understood what Jiang Ci was referring to.
She took the purse off and handed it to Jiang Ci: "Is this the taste?"
Jiang Ci leaned in and smelled it, and the familiar floral scent filled his nose.
“Yeah, that’s the taste.”
Yan Shu smiled and said, "This sachet contains dried flowers."
"What kind of flower is it?"
"It's mostly jasmine and lavender, with some mint leaves and citron."
Jiang Ci picked up Yan Shu's sachet and looked at it carefully. The embroidery on it was neat and delicate, and the two colorful butterflies were vivid. It was obvious at first glance that it was made by an old embroiderer.
Jiang Ci pretended to be ignorant and looked at Yan Shu: "Did you embroider this sachet yourself?"
Yan Shu shook his head and said, "My embroidery is not good enough. This is embroidered by my mother. Not only the sachet, but also many of my clothes, shoes, and handkerchiefs were embroidered by my mother. She is an excellent embroiderer."
Jiang Ci took out the sachet from his body.
"After I lost my memory, I only had this sachet. Because the embroidery was so plain, I was curious about who gave it to me. If it was someone I didn't know, I wouldn't carry it with me. So I've been looking for the person who embroidered this sachet."
After saying this, he stared at her intently.
"Sister-in-law, do you remember this sachet?"
Yan Shu laughed dryly: "Haha, this sachet looks really sloppy. I don't have much impression of it."
Jiang Ci let out a soft sound, lifted the pillow and took out a handkerchief from underneath.
"Does this handkerchief look familiar to you, sister-in-law?"
Yan Shu stared at the familiar handkerchief in astonishment: "Why is my handkerchief here with you? I clearly embroidered it at home..., you wouldn't..."
Is it so perverted to steal her handkerchief?
Jiang Ci saw that she had misunderstood, so he explained, "You have been avoiding me since returning to Xinyang Prefecture. In order to find out the lost memory, I occasionally go around your house."
Yan Shu: "So you took the opportunity to steal my handkerchief?"
Jiang Ci was stumped by the question. At that time, Xu Shuangxue was giving birth and all the members of the Yan family went to the backyard. He then went to the main hall in the front yard as if he was familiar with the place. He originally wanted to compare the embroidery on the handkerchief with that on the sachet. When he was sure that the person who embroidered the sachet was Yan Shu, he took the handkerchief away as well.
"Sister-in-law, don't you think the orchid on this handkerchief looks familiar?"
Jiang Ci changed the subject in time, and Yan Shu was stunned by the two embroideries placed in front of him.
The orchid on the sachet and the handkerchief she embroidered were exactly the same ugly.
She snorted, "So you stole my handkerchief just to prove that I embroidered this hideously ugly sachet? Okay, I admit that I gave you this sachet, but you asked me to embroider it yourself, and I didn't take the initiative to give someone such an ugly sachet. I still have some self-awareness."
Seeing that Yan Shu was angry, Jiang Ci reached out and gently held her hand.
"I just want to know who sent the sachet. Although this sachet is very ordinary, I always carry it with me, which shows that the person who sent it is very important to me. When I found out that it was you who sent it, you don't know how happy I was."
Yan Shu pursed his lips and his eyes fell on the worn sachet.
"It's already so damaged, let's get a new one."
"No problem. You are not good at embroidery but you can make a sachet for me stitch by stitch. The friendship of this sachet is more important than its appearance. It would be nice if my sister-in-law has time to help me repair it."
Yan Shu took the sachet in his hand and looked at it carefully: "There is no need to mend this sachet anymore. I have a spare sachet that is better than this one. If you don't mind..."
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I don't mind."
"Then I'll bring it to you later."
"Can you give me the same dried flowers?"
"no problem."
Jiang Ci was the first person who didn't mind that his embroidery work was ugly, and Yan Shu felt a little excited.
"You've started to sweat. Lie down and take a nap. I'll make you some medicine."
"it is good."
Jiang Ci nodded and lay back on the bed obediently. Yan Shu tucked the quilt in for him and then got up and left the room.
The antipyretic medicine has a certain sleeping effect, and Jiang Ci fell asleep soon after lying down.
Yan Shu asked Ying Si for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a prescription, and gave it to Ying Si to go to the town to find a pharmacy to get all the medicines.
In fact, all these medicines are in the space, but she didn't bring much luggage when she went out, so it was difficult to take the herbs from her.
Ying Si took the prescription and ran to the largest pharmacy in town to get three prescriptions.
Yan Shu had greeted the shopkeeper in advance, and the shopkeeper enthusiastically lent her his own casserole for decocting medicine.
Evening
When Jiang Ci woke up, he saw a familiar figure sitting at the table. She was fiddling with something in her hands, and the room was filled with the scent of flowers.
Jiang Ci propped himself up and sat up.
"Have you been staying here?"
"Are you awake?" Yan Shu walked to the bedside with a sachet of dried flowers.
"I promised to give you a sachet with dried flowers in it while you were resting. Come and smell it. Is this the smell?"
Although Jiang Ci's face still looked a little sick, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
He reached out and took the brand new sachet. The pattern embroidered on it roughly showed two flowers with white background and red stamens, which looked quite playful when matched with the crooked leaves.
"Sister-in-law's embroidery skills have indeed improved a lot."
"Yeah, I also think it looks much better than the previous one." Yan Shu suddenly felt more confident.
She reached out and took the temperature on Jiang Ci's forehead.
"The fever has subsided. Your medicine is still on the stove, warming on a low fire. I'll go get it."
After saying this, Yan Shu stood up and hurried out of the room.
Jiang Ci watched her leave, took a closer look at the sachet in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Under Yan Shu's careful care, Jiang Ci almost recovered the next day. At the same time, the heavy snow stopped, and the group left the small town and went into the mountains.
