Return of the Swallow

Lu Heng was very lucky that his cousin, who was seeking death, allowed him to meet Qin Yining at this time. Although Qin Yining had no romantic feelings for him, being able to meet her at his best time and leave a good impression in her heart was enough to satisfy him.

If he hadn't met Qin Yining at this time, or if he had been older, maybe when they met, they wouldn't have trusted each other like they had in this life.

Is this what Qin Yining said just now, "Everyone has his own destiny"?

Lu Heng just kept thinking wildly. After a long time, he frowned tiredly and fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt like he was holding a very hot oven in his arms.

Lu Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his tired look unable to conceal his current anxiety.

Qin Yining has a fever.

And the fever persists.

After all, it was not convenient for Lu Heng to serve Qin Yining and scrub her. Being able to hug each other and sleep while she was asleep was already breaking the bottom line.

So Lu Heng found two trusted female tribesmen to help Qin Yining scrub and cool down.

Qin Yining's originally pale face was now an unhealthy red color due to fever. The lips were also dry and cracked several times.

The persistent high fever made her body, which was as cold as ice cubes, feel abnormally hot.

The tribesmen wiped Qin Yining's sweat and found that Qin Yining had really lost a lot of weight, especially the bones in his wrists, which seemed to be very sharp and about to pierce the skin.

After the tribesmen helped Qin Yining clean up, Lu Heng returned to the tent again and gave Qin Yining warm water.

Qin Yining swallowed a few mouthfuls subconsciously, and when he continued to feed her something, Lu Heng was helpless to find that Qin Yining refused to open her mouth, as if she wanted to die.

Seeing how weak Qin Yining was, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh and persuaded in a low voice: "When you wake up, you have to drink more hot water and eat more. You look like this now, unlike when we first met. It’s different now. Look at how thin you are.”

Even though he knew Qin Yining was asleep and couldn't hear his voice, Lu Henghai still persevered in his gentle persuasion.

Qin Yining felt cold for a while,

When she gets hot, the blanket on her body will often be lifted off by her.

She felt like she was in a raging fire. Big beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Lu Heng hurriedly wiped them off with his sleeves.

Lu Heng looked at Qin Yining's sweat-drenched hair and felt sad for a moment.

He has never been a hypocritical person. When someone told him that something happened to the Lu family, he was not afraid to confront them head-on.

But despite this, no matter how ruthless Lu Heng was, the softest place in his heart was still reserved for Qin Yining. Now Qin Yining is extremely ill, but he has no ability to save her! Lu Heng was really in pain and felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

If he had known that something like this would happen, he should have tried to find a way to grab a doctor to accompany them when they entered the desert. If Qin Yining's wind chill had been properly treated from the beginning, it would not have developed into such a dangerous situation now.

Of course, Qin Yining didn't know what the people around her were thinking or doing. She seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss. There was no light at all, and the depths of the abyss seemed to be a pool of magma, which was about to melt her bit by bit.

So hot, so hot!

Qin Yining murmured uncomfortably, and fell asleep again at some point. Even Lu Heng didn't know when he carried Qin Qin into the carriage with a blanket.

Over the past few days, Qin Yining spent less and less time awake because of his physical weakness. The bad premonition in her heart gradually expanded.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the wooden cart, with the roar of the wind in her ears. She vaguely felt someone helping her arrange her scarf, and a warm hand covering her. on her forehead, and then sighed and said: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely get out of this desert. We have enough food, there is nothing to be afraid of..."

Qin Yining knew that Lu Heng was comforting her again.

During this period, Lu Heng took great care of her, and she was very grateful.

"Thanks."

When Lu Heng saw Qin Yining opening his mouth to speak, he hurriedly came over, "Are you awake? Can you drink some water?"

Qin Yining said hard: "If I can't do it anymore, just let it go, let me go."

After saying this, she fell asleep again, and the last voice she heard was Lu Heng saying over and over again in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you go, I won't let you go..."

%

Qin Yining didn't know how long he had been asleep. She even felt that she might never wake up again, and she hadn't had time to tell Pang Xiao what she wanted to say.

But when he opened his eyes again, Qin Yining found that he was in a dusty mud room.

Is she still in the desert? How could there be such a building in the desert?

Qin Yining couldn't help but start to look at the surrounding environment.

This room is huge. The surrounding walls are made of yellow mud and wooden structures. The furnishings in the room are also very simple. Most of the products are pottery and wooden carvings.

What she is sleeping on now is a picture --\u003e\u003e

The bedding on the large heated ondol is made of fine cotton, and the patterns on the cotton are also very fine. It seems to be some kind of mysterious and auspicious totem, but it is not the commonly used patterns of flowers, birds, wealth, and the like.

Qin Yining couldn't help but wonder, where is she? Could it be that Lu Heng took her out of the desert to save her life?

However, the desert landscape in the uninhabited area is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to find a way back.

Moreover, the architectural style and the totems on the utensils here are not very similar to the style of any country in the Zhou Dynasty or Tatar.

Qin Yining moved his fingers and felt that his strength had recovered a little, and his mind was not as chaotic as before. Even the burning pain in his throat and the chapped lips seemed to have improved a lot.

Qin Yining felt very curious. I am very glad that I am getting better now. I thought my life was at stake, but I didn't expect to survive.

Just as Qin Yining opened her beautiful eyes and looked around, the wooden door suddenly creaked.

She looked around and saw a tall man in a red robe walking over.

The man seemed to be about forty years old. His hair was slightly naturally curly. It was neatly tied into a bun on the top of his head. His facial features were very deep, and he had a distinctive high nose and deep eyes. His robe was also made of fine cotton. It was made up of those unfamiliar and complicated patterns on the bedding and utensils. At this time, he slowly approached, his black eyes staring at Qin Yining who was lying on the heated kang. He was very affectionate and obsessed, and his eyes did not move for a moment, as if Looking at a priceless treasure.

"you're awake?"

Qin Yining was very surprised. This person spoke the dialect of Da Zhou, and the accent was from the area where Da Zhou was close to the south and was about to border the Da Yan Dynasty.

Could it be that she has returned to Dazhou now?

Seeing Qin Yining just looking at him silently and not speaking, the man smiled and said, "Are you still not fully recovered?"

After saying that, without waiting for Qin Yining to answer, the man high-fived him three times.

Then he saw two maids wearing gray-green robes with their hair neatly pulled up walking in.

The two men knelt down and saluted the man: "Your Majesty."

"Yes. You go and serve the goddess."

"Yes, Prince."

The two maids wanted to walk slowly with Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was confused when he heard this.

Is this the county king? Qin Yining couldn't remember any princes in the Zhou Dynasty who were of this age and appearance. Not to mention the Great Yan Dynasty. In contrast, in the former Northern Hebei Kingdom, in addition to the prince inheriting the throne and the brothers being crowned princes, the brothers' children would also be crowned county princes and have their own fiefdoms.

Could this uncle be the former prince of Northern Hebei?

And the weirdest thing, he actually called her "goddess"!

What's going on in these people's heads? How did she become a goddess?

Just when Qin Yining was thinking wildly, the two girls came closer, bowed their knees and said, "Goddess, the maids will help you wash up. Meals have been prepared for you in the kitchen, and they will be ready for you after you wash up."

The sentence "Why do you call me Goddess" almost blurted out. However, Qin Yining still held back calmly. No words were spoken immediately.

Anyway, she felt sticky all over now, so she should take a shower first so she could eat.

Just when Qin Yining was helped up by the two people and was about to go to the side room, the middle-aged man known as the prince followed a few steps forward.

Qin Yining frowned and glanced back. The prince seemed to be intimidated by her eyes and slowly stopped, but he still looked at Qin Yining with eager eyes.

Qin Yining was very unhappy, because this person's eyes were too revealing, as if she suddenly saw big fish and meat after not eating for a few meals, which made her feel like a piece of meat, as if she was under this person's eyelids. It seems like you can only be slaughtered down there.

But now that everything was unclear, Qin Yining did not dare to speak rashly and offend the other party. She also planned to observe and consider what to do next. In addition, she also wanted to find out the whereabouts of other people in the Minuo Department, so she did not say much, just The maids helped him into the side room.

The side room is also very spacious, and the ceiling is extremely high. The furniture around it all exudes a bit of rusticity and roughness. Coupled with the furnishings with special patterns or totems, it gives off an alien atmosphere.

The maid helped Qin Yining approach the screen. Help her step on the three wooden steps.

Only then did Qin Yining discover that there was a wooden bathtub half-mounted on the floor on the steps. The water inside was steaming hot, and there was a wooden ladle floating on the water. There were two hand towels hanging on the edge of the bathtub.

Qin Yining said: "You guys should step back."

"The goddess is still very weak. Please allow the maids to help you bathe."

The two maids said this and bowed.

Although Qin Yining has been rich, she is not the kind of person who can enjoy gifts from others with peace of mind. In addition, she feels that her current body is much better than before she fell into coma. But she didn't have the energy to take a bath alone, and besides, she wanted to ask about the situation here, so she simply nodded.

The two maids were very happy and hurriedly saluted again and carefully helped her undress and step into the bathtub.
