I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince
Chapter 54
Su Xi had this problem since she was young. Her body was a bit cold. Once she had menstrual cramps, she would be in so much pain that she wanted to die. She would roll around in bed.
She frowned in pain. She struggled to support her upper body and opened the bedside table. However, she found that the painkillers inside had long run out.
She could only weakly lie back down and curl up into a ball.
She lay there for a while with cold hands and feet. Her forehead was full of cold sweat. She was half-awake.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she suddenly felt that there was something warm under her feet. It was like a heating pad.
A trace of confusion flashed through Su Xi's mind … Wasn't the heating pad already cold last night? Why did it suddenly become hot again?
Outside the curtain, Lu Huan was also facing a woman's abdominal pain during menstruation for the first time. He couldn't help but be a bit flustered.
He had learned how to use Xuanhu and Wulingzhi to make pain-relieving soup in pharmacology books. However, that was a method of his dynasty. It couldn't be used in her world.
She should have more effective medicine. However, Lu Huan had only unlocked her house and the area around her house. He couldn't find a pharmacy in a radius of half a li. Even if he found one, Lu Huan couldn't buy it with money.
Lu Huan walked around in the tent with his brows furrowed.
Cold menstrual cramps should require a heat source. Lu Huan thought. He carefully lifted the quilt at her feet through the curtain and moved the round object into the hall. He found a long black wire and connected it to the "socket" in the corner of the hall.
After the glowing red bubbles on the round object dimmed, it should be warm.
Then, Lu Huan gently took it back. While Su Xi's eyes were closed, he stuffed the round object into the quilt at her feet.
For the past few days, Lu Huan had seen Su Xi do this before she went to bed. Although he didn't know what this round object was, he could roughly guess that it should be something similar to a charcoal fire that could be held in the arms to keep warm.
He had a good memory and could remember everything he saw. He learned quickly and could already use this skillfully.
After he put the item in, Su Xi's painful expression finally eased. Su Xi tossed and turned less often. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Lu Huan switched the curtain to the kitchen and found a packet of brown sugar in the cabinet.
In the dynasty a thousand years later, everything was new to Lu Huan.
He didn't like the rectangular black screen hanging on the wall of the main hall. Once it was turned on by Su Xi, there would be a lot of people making a racket inside. They would either do some strange dances or sing some harsh songs..
However, when it was opened by Su Xi, there would often be other little cartoon characters that he didn't know playing out love and hate. Su Xi hugged the potato chips and laughed. Outside the screen, Lu Huan was handling some military affairs in the tent while looking up from time to time.
He interpreted it as a real shadow puppet show.
It was pretty good.
He had watched several episodes with Su Xi and was trying to understand the relationships between the characters. He also learned the new vocabulary of the dynasty a thousand years later from the real shadow play.
But Lu Huan liked the kitchen the most. He found that there were more things in the kitchen that were beyond his understanding. The tall box that stood next to the wall could store fresh vegetables. When he opened it, a gust of cold air drifted out.
He tried to find a piece of ginger inside.
But he found that the last piece of ginger had been used up by Su Xi last night.
Lu Huan frowned slightly. If there was only brown sugar and no ginger, the soup wouldn't have much effect.
But recently, Lu Huan found a button called "Game Mall" on the curtain. After he opened it, he could use silver to buy some basic items.
He opened it skillfully and found a piece of ginger. He let the silver in his arms disappear. Then, a piece of yellow ginger appeared on the kitchen chopping board on the curtain.
He moved quickly on the curtain and manipulated the kitchen knife to cut the ginger into pieces. He boiled the water and then found a clean glassware. He threw the two into it and boiled it with boiling water.
Finally, he learned from watching Su Xi cook the day before yesterday. He took out a pair of chopsticks and stirred the brown sugar ginger tea.
Su Xi slept for a while more. When he heard some slight noises, he opened his eyes in a daze. In the end, he realized that there was a cup of steaming hot brown sugar ginger tea on the bedside table next to his head.
She was shocked and suspected that she was dreaming. Didn't Mom and Dad leave?
Or was there something wrong with her memory?
She asked weakly, "Dad, you're back?
Or Mom? "
No one answered.
Su Xi's mind was muddled when she suffered from menstrual pain. She didn't think much about it. She forced her head up and drank the brown sugar ginger tea in small sips.
After drinking it, she immediately felt a warmth from her stomach to her lower abdomen. Only then did she feel better.
She let out a sigh of relief. She covered her head with the blanket and went back to sleep. She could only take the morning off today.
In her half-awake state, she felt someone touch her forehead. The force was very gentle, causing Su Xi to rub her face against the pillow.
It was already late at night on Lu Huan's side, but the candles in his tent were still burning.
He looked up at the girl's sleeping face on the curtain. He was very satisfied. He was very lucky to be able to accompany her in this way.
Lu Huan already knew that he could increase his points by completing the main mission and side mission on the curtain. In addition, he could also slowly increase his points by working hard on military affairs.
Although he didn't know why the curtain forced him to be diligent in this way, he worked several times harder than before in order to see Su Xi sooner.
The amount of time he slept every night was also compressed to the limit.
Every day, except for a bit of time at night, he didn't have a moment of idleness. He busied himself with reviewing official documents for the Zhenyuan General, dealing with the matter of rations on the road, listening to reports from the front, and discussing matters with the other officials in the army. It could be said that he worked his heart out.
The other people in the army didn't know what Lu Huan's goal was. They saw that he worked so hard for half a month. This degree of continuous work was not something a normal person could do. It was also impossible to pretend. They gradually admired him. They thought that he was young, but had a pure heart. He was determined to be loyal to the country and was worthy of being friends with.
The Zhenyuan General saw that Lu Huan had unknowingly become friends with the soldiers in the camp and his subordinates. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile from afar.
He was naturally happy to see this happen.
At this time, Lu Huan found a side mission on the curtain that didn't automatically pop up, but could be completed to increase his points.
He immediately became happy and opened the side mission.
There were no prompts on the curtain. He directly entered a scene with a prompt that said, "Some past missions can be completed."
Past missions?
Could it be that this curtain was like a carriage that could move in space and could also move in time?
Lu Huan didn't have time to think before the scene activated.
It started with the ground floor of Su Xi's house. Su Xi's parents were carrying food boxes and seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere. Perhaps because she was in a hurry, Su Xi's mother didn't notice the banana peel under her feet. She stepped on it and almost fell.
Lu Huan, who was outside the curtain, subconsciously raised his hand to support her. He didn't expect that his support would be effective.
Su Xi's mother looked behind her with a puzzled expression. She barely managed to stand firm, but because she was in a hurry to go somewhere, she didn't think too much about it.
A conversation popped up between the two:
"I don't know how Xixi is doing in the hospital. We have to go quickly. The insulation in this thermos isn't good. The chicken soup won't taste good when it gets cold."
Hospital?
Lu Huan, who was outside the curtain, had already learned about Su Xi's dynasty for a few days. Naturally, he already knew where the hospital was. He immediately felt a little anxious.
He saw that after he helped Su Xi's mother, the points in the upper right corner increased by two points. He directly unlocked the hospital.
As soon as he unlocked it, the screen switched to the hospital. He saw Su Xi, who looked a little sad after putting down the brick in her hand.
— What's wrong?
She was wearing a blue and white checkered shirt. There was something tied to her leg. It seemed like her leg was injured?
Lu Huan immediately went to check her leg, but he couldn't help her through the screen.
Lu Huan felt a little annoyed. However, when he thought about how advanced her medical skills were, she should have already been checked by the best doctor in the hospital. Since this was in the past and her leg was fine now, it meant that she had recovered.
Then, he saw Su Xi on the screen pick up the brick again, press it a few times, and then communicate with someone else.
From the conversation that popped up, it seemed like … she wanted to borrow money?
Lu Huan immediately took out the banknotes from his arms, but this curtain couldn't transfer objects.
If he wanted to help her, he could only do it in other ways.
Thus, when he saw her ask someone to buy a lottery ticket, he spent dozens of banknotes and exchanged them for something called a "lottery ticket" from the mall. This allowed her to win the lottery as she wished.
When he saw Su Xi and her two friends shouting excitedly at the small shop, Lu Huan's eyes curved into crescents.
However, the little male cartoon character beside her kept trying to help her up. Lu Huan couldn't help but slap his hand away.
After the second thing was done, two more points appeared in the upper right corner.
He followed Su Xi's mention of going to the mall on the screen and unlocked the third place, the mall.
This time, when he saw the steaming hot fish soup about to splash on him, his pupils shrank and he threw it away.
This was the third thing.
Lu Huan thought about it and used the new points to unlock the school that Su Xi went to the most often.
When he got here, Lu Huan also realized that Su Xi's luck seemed to have been bad. On this day, she tried her best to rush a large carriage, but when she was about to catch up, the carriage suddenly decided to leave. She chased after it with a broken face.
The person in front of her just happened to get on the carriage. Lu Huan frowned and let the person use a small card to swipe his card. Then, he grabbed the person's hand and slowed down.
Just as the carriage driver was about to urge them, Su Xi rushed up with sweat all over her head. She held her knees and gasped for breath.
She patted her chest. "That was close. I almost missed the bus."
Lu Huan smiled from outside the curtain, and only then did she release the hand of the person in front of her. The person looked around in astonishment, thinking that it was just an illusion. Twisting his wrist, he walked towards the back of the carriage.
This was the fourth thing.
The fifth thing. Lu Huan had just unlocked Su Xi's school. Before he could take a second look, he saw her walk out of one of the rooms. There were cartoon characters everywhere in the corridor.
So there were so many students in the school of their dynasty?
Lu Huan was slightly shocked. He pushed the people around her slightly, not wanting them to squeeze her.
The person standing on Su Xi's right felt that she was inexplicably pushed by a gust of wind. She subconsciously thought that it was the person on her left, so she glared at Su Xi.
Su Xi, who was inexplicably glared at, was speechless.
Lu Huan outside the curtain was speechless.
He touched the tip of his nose guiltily and didn't continue to push the crowd away.
However, when he went down the stairs, he saw that Su Xi was almost pushed and fell.
He quickly helped her up.
After watching Su Xi leave the tall building, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After completing these five side missions, the screen returned to the scene of Su Xi lying on the bed and clutching her stomach. The points in the upper right corner finally reached 112 points.
Lu Huan suddenly remembered that Su Xi had been chatting with him for the past two days. Su Xi said that her luck had improved after she came into contact with him. At that time, he thought that it was just to make him happy, so he didn't take it to heart. However, at this moment, something flashed through his mind.
So, he was the one who had interfered with Xiao Xi's past?
Lu Huan vaguely felt that it wasn't a coincidence that this screen appeared between the two of them, but he couldn't figure out why.
Thus, he could only give up for the time being.
He continued to look for missions on the screen that could be completed so that he could increase his points to 200 as soon as possible and see her earlier. However, for a while, no new missions appeared on the screen.
Lu Huan thought for a while, tucked her in, and then pulled the screen to the table in front of her window.
He found a book with a cover full of squiggly and tiny characters. He opened the last few pages and memorized the meaning of the tiny characters according to the correspondence between the tiny characters and the Chinese characters.
The candlelight burned until daybreak.
After drinking the brown sugar ginger tea, Su Xi's menstrual cramps were much better.
She took the morning off and had to go to school in the afternoon.
She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and got up. She packed her bag and realized that she didn't put the English textbook on the table into her bag last night.
She didn't think much of it and put it in. Then, she carried her bag and went out.
If she opened the game and took a look, she would be shocked as if she had been struck by lightning.
In the game, the sky was turning white. The young man in the tent had copied five pages of English words on a piece of paper with a brush.
He was frowning and pacing around the tent with the paper in his hand. He was trying hard to understand the inverted grammar of the tiny characters that were completely different from the Yan Dynasty language.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't slept all night, so he was a little tired. He rubbed his eyebrows and poured a cup of bitter tea to refresh himself.
