When they arrived beside a flowing stream, Han Shi gently placed Qin Xi on the ground.
Qin Xi’s body was still terrifyingly hot. Han Shi quickly took off his cloth and wrung it out after soaking it in the stream. He gently placed it on Qin Xi’s forehead.
At this moment, her fair and smooth face was flushed, and her lips were slightly dry from the heat. Han Shi’s heart ached. He held the stream water with both hands and took a sip before passing it to Qin Xi.
Qin Xi subconsciously swallowed it. Her dry throat immediately felt refreshed and comfortable. Her frown gradually relaxed. She licked her pink tongue.
Han Shi suppressed the urge in his heart and removed the wet cloth on Qin Xi’s forehead.
However, the temperature on Qin Xi’s body was getting higher and higher, making Han Shi panic.
Jiu Yuan thought for a moment and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, “Hey, I remember that there are fever-reducing pills she refined at home. Do you want to go back and get them?”
“That’s right. How could I have forgotten such an important thing?”
Han Shi suddenly remembered that Qin Xi had refined a lot of pills for Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan. Although the two of them did not need fever medicine at all, they still had some at home.
At the thought of this, Han Shi quickly picked Qin Xi up and ran back to the old house in the village.
Han Shi turned on the light and gently placed Qin Xi on the bed. Then, he began to search for pills to reduce her fever.
Just as he was rummaging through the drawers, the red fruit in his pocket accidentally fell out and cracked. The flesh and juice immediately emitted an intoxicating smell. Han Shi’s focus was drifting away for a moment before he came back to his senses. He quickly put the fruit aside and said with lingering fears, “This thing actually has the effect of bewitching people.”
Jiu Yuan was enlightened. “It was no wonder your wife looked like she was dreaming.”
Han Shi’s expression was solemn as he shook his head. “No, since I can realize this, Xi definitely could. Unless…”
Jiu Yuan asked curiously, “Unless what?”
“Unless this thing has a value that forces her to take the risk.” Han Shi was puzzled. “But what is the value?”
Han Shi threw this question to the back of his mind. He found a fever-reducing pill and fed it to Qin Xi. Qin Xi ate it, but the temperature on her body continued to rise. If this continued, God knew what would happen.
Just as Han Shi was burning with anxiety, Jiu Yuan came up with another evil idea.
“Since it’s caused by the fruit, do you want to take a bite too? Don’t eat too much. Just take a small bite. Perhaps you can find out the reason why she’s unconscious!”
Han Shi was so muddle-headed that he actually felt that what Jiu Yuan said made sense. He picked up the fruit and gently took a bite. It was sour and sweet, and also a little astringent. However, the fragrance of the fruit was strong, making people want to eat more.
Jiu Yuan had been paying attention to Han Shi’s reaction. At first, Han Shi was quite normal, but gradually, Jiu Yuan realized that his gaze had changed, becoming deep and fiery…
It was like a male cat seeing a beautiful female cat.
