Chapter 54 Talking in sleep
Zhang Guangzong's illness seems to be more serious than everyone imagined.
Even after taking medicine, he still suffered from fever for a whole day and night.
Zhang Guangzong was so sick that he felt uncomfortable all over, as if his whole body was about to be burned.
He couldn't even remember the last time he had such a serious fever. At this moment, he just felt tortured by the illness, and his desire to live seemed not to be that strong anymore.
Little Cai had been urging him to sleep for a while, but once he closed his eyes, he felt that heat was constantly coming out of his body, and even breathing became difficult. Nowhere in his body seemed to be comfortable.
All night long, he couldn't sleep.
He had never felt that time was so long. He quietly felt that his body seemed to be declining.
When a ray of light appeared on the horizon, Zhang Guangzong finally fell asleep.
"The fever is gone! The fever is gone!"
Little Cai's exclamation made Zhang Guangzong wake up easily. He had no memory of what he had dreamed about. He only felt extremely tired, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for several days and was in desperate need of sleep.
But after he was woken up, no matter how sleepy he was, he couldn't fall asleep.
Just because the fever is gone does not mean that the disease is cured.
Feeling sleepy but unable to sleep, feeling heavy but unable to escape, these two kinds of pain were intertwined, making Zhang Guangzong feel that life was worse than death again.
According to this situation, he may not be able to participate in the sub-examination in a few days.
Whether it was physical discomfort or the pain of missing out on fame, Zhang Guangzong was suffering. Naturally, he would not blame himself, but would direct all his resentment at the source he thought was the source.
Little Cai.
He felt that everything was his wife's fault, from the bowl of champion soup she couldn't prepare for him to the rain she picked up instead of giving him an umbrella.
With such a mood, even though he was so sick that it was difficult to sit up, he still did not forget to torment little Cai.
"The medicine is too hot. Blow it off." Zhang Guangzong said feebly.
Xiao Cai first knew that he was wrong, and secondly, he had accepted Zhang Guangzong's bad temper for many years. He had long been accustomed to Zhang Guangzong's bad temper and did not dare to resist at first.
He said the medicine was hot, so Mr. Cai tried his best to cool it down.
He said that the medicine had cooled down, so Xiao Cai turned on the stove to heat it again.
When Zhang Guangzong couldn't finish the food, he would fall to the ground. Then he forced little Cai to lie on the ground like a dog and eat it all. Little Cai couldn't bear it.
Zhang Guangzong didn't have the strength to hit her, so he started to pinch her, pinching little Cai's thigh until it was bruised.
But the more she tolerated it, the more Zhang Guangzong became more and more aggressive. His mentality was distorted and he became more and more tormented.
Even if he is a tough guy, he can't bear it, not to mention that little Cai is still a soft guy with no morals.
The man at home goes crazy every day, but the man outside is gentle, carefree, and generous.
Little Cai was originally good-looking, and she was also popular among everyone in Qingshui Village.
Little Cai was isolated by almost all the women in the house because of Liu Xiaoru's words of "seduce men".
They were all afraid that Mr. Cai would not be able to seduce Gu Mingda and would turn around and seduce their own men.
Fucheng is a vast city with many people, and a beautiful and heelless out-of-town woman, even if she just goes out to buy groceries every day, is enough to attract the attention of local snakes.
On the second day after Zhang Guangzong's fever subsided, Xiao Cai was entangled by a group of ruffians who took advantage of her while shopping for groceries.
Just like what was written in the storybook, in a moment of tension, the hero who saved the beauty fell from the sky. Although this hero was a bit arrogant and looked a bit ordinary, the stimulation at that moment made little Cai's heart beat a little faster.
The hero claims to be a native of Fucheng. He has a big house in Fucheng and his family also runs a small business that earns a hundred taels of money every month.
Zhang Yuniang didn't know that her brother had this disease and his wife almost ran away with him.
She was busy checking the test basket for Gu Mingda.
Ever since she learned about the incidents that happened in the first exam, Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but feel frightened. She finally finished the first exam safely, for fear that her husband would miss the opportunity due to some mistakes.
The results of the first exam came out, and Gu Mingda's name was ranked first.
Although Zhang Guangzong ranked lower, he still passed the exam. However, in his current situation, he was unable to take the exam.
In addition to him, most of the scholars from the same school who went to the examination room with Gu Mingda that morning also passed the exam.
Those who had passed the exam felt that Gu Mingda's encouragement before entering the exam room was of great significance. They came to thank Gu Mingda one after another and hoped that they would still go with Gu Mingda in the second exam.
Of the four people who were guarantors with Gu Mingda, only Zheng Qi passed the exam. He was almost framed for cheating due to a moment of negligence. Now that he is only one step away from getting the title of scholar, he is naturally grateful to Gu Mingda.
Gu Mingda unknowingly gathered a group of people around him.
If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they would have become overwhelmed by the compliments and gratitude, but Gu Mingda still took it indifferently.
He is already thirty-four years old and is not a young man. The most important thing to him now is his wife and children behind him. He must obtain a good name in the examination.
Gu Mingda still got up very early, finished breakfast slowly, and drank the Zhuangyuan soup prepared by his wife early.
Niu Niu on the bed did not wake up suddenly this time, but collapsed on the bed and slept soundly.
Gu Mingda remembered clearly that Niuniu's sleeping posture seemed a bit reserved before. Even in her sleep, she was very well-behaved and would never take up too much space.
Since he talked with the child, Gu Mingda clearly felt that the little girl's uneasiness seemed to have disappeared.
Similarly, her sleeping posture has also become strange. She talks in her sleep, moves around in her dreams, and her sleeping posture is not very honest. She also dares to make requests, clamoring every night to sleep in Zhang Yun's mother's arms. Sleep inside.
Although Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang may have been kicked awake by Niu Niu in the middle of the night, neither of them ever blamed Niu Niu. They helped her tuck the quilt in and continued to sleep soundly.
"She slept very deeply." Gu Mingda said suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuniang immediately looked at her daughter on the bed.
Gu Mingda took advantage of this moment, lowered his head and gently kissed Zhang Yunniang's cheek.
Zhang Yunniang turned her head and looked at him coquettishly.
"wait me back."
After Gu Mingda finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the door with the examination basket. Together with many waiting scholars, he walked towards the familiar examination room with lanterns in hand.
Zhang Yunniang watched her husband disappear into the yard, turned around and cleared away the dishes on the table. She suddenly felt sleepy. Seeing that the sky was still dark, she took off her coat and climbed onto the bed, taking Niuniu into her arms. .
Niuniu felt like she was falling into a warm embrace in her sleep. Without even opening her eyes, she opened her mouth and continued talking in her sleep.
"Delicious...so fragrant..."
Zhang Yunniang gently pinched the little girl's cheek: "Little greedy cat, I dream about eating it."
Niu Niu suddenly twisted her body, as if she was losing her temper with someone in her dream, and said loudly: "My dad is number one! If you say he is number one, he is number one!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yunniang was so shocked that she lost most of her sleepiness.
