Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), Xu Qinghe was awakened by a series of shouts.

"Let go of my aunt! Let go of my aunt!"

Xu Qinghe suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively looked at Shen Chengyue.

Shen Chengyue was seen waving his fists with his eyes closed and his face covered in tears, clearly having a nightmare.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe quickly reached out and gently patted him, "It's alright, it's alright, Auntie's back."

After repeating it twice, Shen Chengyue finally calmed down. At this moment, Shen Zhi heard the noise and quickly walked over.

Looking at Xu Qinghe with a worried expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Qinghe reached out to touch Shen Chengyue's head and replied, "He must have had a nightmare." Then her expression turned serious. "Oh no, Chengyue has a fever."

Shen Zhi frowned. "A fever?"

Xu Qinghe: "Hmm, did the doctor leave any medicine after that afternoon?"

Shen Zhi shook his head. "No."

While recalling fever-reducing medications in her mind, Xu Qinghe said to Shen Zhidao, "Go boil some water. I'll use physical methods to lower his temperature first, and then we'll get the medicine when it's light."

Shen Zhi readily agreed, "Okay." Then he quickly left the room.

After a good night's sleep, Xu Qinghe felt much better. She picked up Shen Chengchuan and placed him on the other side so he could sleep soundly, while she focused on taking care of Shen Chengyue.

She first touched Shen Chengyue's little hands, then his little feet. Seeing that his little feet were icy cold, Xu Qinghe began to cover him with a blanket.

Children's fevers always go through a process. When their hands and feet are cold, it means that the child is feeling cold and their body temperature is rising, so they need to be kept warm.

When your hands and feet are warm, it means your body temperature has risen to a high level, and you need to dissipate heat and cool down.

Looking at Shen Chengyue's pale face, Xu Qinghe felt a pang of heartache and would touch his head from time to time.

Once his body temperature rose, Shen Zhi had also prepared hot water. Xu Qinghe adjusted the water temperature to lukewarm before starting to wash him.

Watching Xu Qinghe's skillful movements, Shen Zhi asked curiously, "Have you taken care of children before?"

Xu Qinghe answered without hesitation, "Yes, there's a young master in the manor who's often sick, and I've taken care of him a few times."

Shen Zhi was relieved after hearing this.

The two of them experienced a temperature drop every half hour, enduring this until dawn. Seeing that Shen Chengyue's temperature hadn't gone down, Xu Qinghe couldn't take it anymore. "Go find a doctor and get some medicine!"

Shen Zhi agreed and then went out.

After Shen Zhiyi left, Xu Qinghe stopped lying down and got up to start packing the things she had brought back yesterday.

She didn't know if she had OCD, but whenever she saw something not in its proper place, she wanted to tidy it up. However, it wasn't that she had to finish tidying it up completely. As soon as she got tired, she didn't want to tidy up anymore.

When Shen Zhi returned after getting the medicine, he saw that Xu Qinghe had already tidied up the house quite a bit.

Aren't you tired?

Xu Qinghe collapsed the moment she saw him, saying, "I'm exhausted."

Shen Zhi: "If you're tired, go lie down."

Xu Qinghe didn't stand on ceremony. She turned and walked to the bed, sat down in front of it, and tentatively asked Shen Zhi, "Are you going to the garrison again today?"

Shen Zhi didn't hesitate, "I'll go."

"But I'll be back after delivering the warhorses."

Xu Qinghe then remembered that Shen Zhi had brought her back on horseback yesterday. Because she was too tired, her impression of riding the horse yesterday was that it was too bumpy.

However, after hearing his words, Xu Qinghe felt much more relaxed, because taking care of a sick child alone is too tiring, not only physically but also mentally.

After resting against the headboard for a while, Xu Qinghe stood up again and walked outside.

Then I saw Shen Zhizheng using the small kettle she had been given to Old Shen's family to brew medicine for Shen Chengyue.

He frowned as soon as he saw her come out. "Why are you up? Didn't I tell you to rest for a while?"

Xu Qinghe: "I can't sit still, so I'll get up and make you some food."

"Did the food on the table come from the old lady?"

Shen Zhi: "Mm."

"When I'm better, I'll go visit my aunt and thank her for taking care of me yesterday."

Shen Zhi: "Okay."

She took out eggs from the house and steamed a bowl of egg custard for the two children first. Then, Xu Qinghe started cooking her and Shen Zhi's meal.

Because she was still feeling a bit unwell, Xu Qinghe didn't make anything too complicated. She simply stir-fried a dish and reheated the green beans that Aunt Shen and the others had brought yesterday, and that was it for their breakfast.

After dinner, the two children woke up. Xu Qinghe first carried Shen Chengchuan down, washed him up, and then had Shen Zhi serve him dinner.

As for Shen Chengyue, Xu Qinghe first checked his injuries, and only after seeing that there were no problems did she start to dress him and get him up.

During this time, Shen Chengyue remained listless, resting his head on her shoulder and letting Xu Qinghe do as she pleased.

After getting dressed, Xu Qinghe noticed that Shen Chengyue was still listless, so she simply carried him out to wash up. Fortunately, he wasn't too heavy, so it wasn't too difficult for Xu Qinghe to carry him by herself.

After washing up, Xu Qinghe carried him to the table and then ate a little food.

Shen Chengyue's spirits improved slightly after he finished eating and taking his medicine.

Seeing that Shen Chengyue was in better spirits, Shen Zhi felt relieved and went to the garrison.

As soon as he arrived at the garrison, he saw the guards waiting for him at the gate. "Brother Shen, you've finally arrived."

Shen Zhi dismounted and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Has the Northern Border provoked us again?"

Guard: "No, it's Lord Commander who's looking for you."

After handing the warhorse over to the guards, Shen Zhi went to Commander Zheng's command room.

As soon as he entered, Commander Zheng asked with concern, "How is your wife?"

Shen Zhi: "It's alright now."

Commander Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright."

"Perfect timing, I have something to tell you."

Shen Zhi: "Please speak."

Commander Zheng: "What's your decision regarding promoting you to centurion?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi immediately fell silent. Because of the special circumstances of Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan, he had been keeping a low profile these days and dared not show his face at all.

Unfortunately, Commander Zheng had a very high opinion of him and had already told him about this several times.

Looking into Commander Zheng's expectant eyes, Shen Zhi didn't hesitate this time, "Okay."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Commander Zheng's large hand landed on his shoulder. "Good lad, I told you I hadn't misjudged you."

"When did you get married? Why didn't you invite us to celebrate?"

Shen Zhi: "It was only finalized yesterday, and the ceremony hasn't been held yet."

Zheng Qianhu was taken aback. "You little rascal, you're really cunning. You're calling me 'wife' before even having a ceremony. Let me know when you're going to hold the ceremony so I can come over and ask for a drink at your wedding."

Shen Zhi said, "I'll definitely invite you once we've set a date." After saying that, she mentioned that her child had a fever and asked for two days off.

After seeing Shen Zhi off, Commander Zheng was overjoyed. From the moment Shen Zhi arrived at their garrison, Commander Zheng could tell that he was no ordinary man.

But this kid was too low-key and refused to be promoted no matter what, which made him feel sorry for a long time.

Now that I have such a powerful general, I have no worries about the road ahead.

As for Xu Qinghe, after seeing Shen Zhi off, she started getting busy again. She originally thought there wouldn't be much work, but before she knew it, it was noon.

As soon as Xu Qinghe came out of the house, she walked straight towards Shen Chengyue, who was playing in the yard. She first reached out and touched his head, and after seeing that his fever had subsided, she asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Shen Chengyue's eyes lit up when he heard this. "I want to eat noodles."

Xu Qinghe was taken aback. "You're eating noodles again?"
