Chapter 2 Picked up a man

"Hey, are you okay? Wake up!"

Chunzhi reached out to help the man who had fallen to the ground, but felt blood on her hand and was immediately shocked.

Such serious injuries could definitely not be caused by a cart, but there was no one around and no one could even testify. Chunzhi could only half-support and half-drag the man into the tofu workshop and let him lie on the bed.

It was very dark and the room was pitch black.

Chunzhi couldn't see anything clearly. She lit the oil lamp on the table and walked to the bed with it. The man was very young, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He had many sword wounds on his body, and his black clothes were almost stained with blood.

Chunzhi reached out and felt the man's breath.

Still breathing.

Chunzhi found all the medicines that could be used to treat the wound, and also took out a pair of scissors, a bundle of white cloth, and a basin of hot water.

She sat beside the bed and said to the unconscious man, "You are seriously injured. This dress is useless. I cut your clothes to treat your injuries. Don't blame me when you wake up."

The unconscious man couldn't respond to her.

After Chunzhi finished speaking, she cut the man's clothes into pieces and threw them under the bed. Then she soaked the towel in hot water and wiped the man's body bit by bit.

The handkerchief was soon soaked with blood. Chunzhi washed and wiped it, and carried out four or five basins of blood before she could barely help the man clean up.

Maybe once people become busy, they have no time to be sad.

Chunzhi wiped the man's face and found that he was covered with wounds, but his noble and handsome appearance could not be concealed.

The most handsome person Chunzhi had ever seen in her life was Lu Jingyun, and the man in front of her was not inferior to Lu Jingyun at all, and was even better.

She applied medicine to all the man's wounds and then bandaged them with white cloth.

There were no clothes suitable for men here, so Chunzhi simply covered him with a quilt, thinking that she would go out and buy him a new set of clothes after dawn tomorrow.

Chunzhi was very tired after doing all this. She had been busy all day, was kicked out by the Lu family, and brought back such a seriously injured man. She was exhausted.

But tomorrow's life will go on as usual. Chunzhi went to the tofu workshop in front to soak the beans for tomorrow's use.

After finishing her work, she returned to the small room at the back and stayed by the man's bed.

Chunzhi only had one bed, and after giving it to the man, she had no place to sleep and could only sit on a chair for the night.

I don’t know when this person will wake up.

Chunzhi was afraid that the man would have a fever in the middle of the night and his injuries would worsen, so she simply moved a chair to the bed and sat beside him to watch over him.

The night was getting darker, and there was a storm outside. The small oil lamp was flickering in the night wind.

Chunzhi fell asleep while watching over him.

On a rainy night, there were lightning and thunder in the sky.

Chunzhi was suddenly awakened by the fright. She got up and walked quickly to the window, but saw a figure sneaking outside the window.

A thief broke in——

Chunzhi quickly walked to the table, picked up the scissors she had just used, then blew out the oil lamp, quietly hid behind the bed, and covered her body with the bed curtains.

The man climbed in through the window, groping inside while grinning obscenely, "Chunzhi, dear Chunzhi, I heard that you were kicked out of the Lu family, so your brother came here specially to comfort you. Where are you? Why don't you say anything?"

Chunzhi recognized the voice as that of the street hooligan Zhang Hu, who had always made advances towards her when buying tofu.

Previously, Zhang Hu was still worried about her being Lu Jingyun's child bride and didn't dare to do anything too extreme. But today, when he heard that Lu Jingyun had married another official's daughter and abandoned her as his child bride, he sneaked over at night.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, making a loud noise.

Chunzhi hid behind the bed, holding the scissors tightly with both hands in fear and holding her breath.

The room was pitch black.

Zhang Hu couldn't see Chunzhi, and the tinderbox he had on him was wet from the rain and couldn't be lit, so he walked forward in the dark.

“Ouch!”

Zhang Hu bumped into the corner of the table and cried out in pain.

Chunzhi was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

The place where she lived was remote and it was raining heavily tonight. Even if she shouted for help, no one would come and her current location would be exposed instead.

Chunzhi clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Just waiting for Zhang Hu to come closer and give him a pair of scissors.

"Good Chunzhi, please don't be silent. Call me brother Zhang Hu. I love you!"

Zhang Hu rubbed his sore stomach and continued to move forward around the table. The room was small, so he quickly reached the bed, reached out to lift the quilt, and touched a naked body.

"Oh, no clothes on." Zhang Hu was overjoyed. "Chunzhi, you knew your brother Zhang Hu was coming tonight, so you took off all your clothes to wait for me, right?"

Zhang Hu said this and reached down.

Suddenly, the person on the bed moved, broke Zhang Hu's arm, and kicked him out.

Zhang Hu slammed into the wall, spitting blood, and fell to the ground. "You...you are not Chunzhi, who are you?"

"roll!"

The man on the bed shouted in a deep voice.

Just one word, but it is so imposing.

"Man! Chunzhi, you actually hid a man in the house!" Zhang Hu shouted while using his hands and feet to climb out the window and leave.

The man on the bed grabbed the medicine bottle beside his pillow and threw it out like a hidden weapon.

Zhang Hu, who was hanging from the window, fell to the ground and cried out, "Please spare my life! Please spare my life! I won't dare to do this again! If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have dared to come here!"

Zhang Hu ran away, crawling and rolling.

Chunzhi stood behind the bed curtain for a while, until the footsteps outside the door faded away, then she quietly lifted the curtain and walked out.

The man on the bed heard the noise, pulled Chunzhi over, and grabbed her neck. "Who are you? Why are you sneaking around?"

Chunzhi subconsciously tried to stab him with the scissors, but the man held her hands behind her back.

The scissors slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Chunzhi was pinched so hard that it hurt, and she managed to make a few sounds, "I saved you..."

"You saved me?" Huo Zheng said coldly, "I just fainted, I didn't lose my memory. It was you who hit me with the cart."

Having said that, Huo Zheng quickly let go.

"Ahem..." Chunzhi immediately stepped back, eight steps away from the man, and raised her hand to rub her neck. "That's because you were already seriously injured. If you weren't injured, how could a light collision from the cart really hurt you?"

She was afraid that the man would die at her doorstep. If the officials came to question him, she would not be able to explain herself, so she helped him into the house.

Now the man is awake and says that she hit him.

There was indeed a collision, but what really caused the man to faint was the injuries on his body, not the impact of the cart.

You still have to make your words clear.

Chunzhi said, "I could have just left you on the street. It was raining heavily and no one would have come to rescue you. You'd have been soaked in the rain all night and you might have died tomorrow. Now you're lying on my bed, and you still have the strength to strangle me. How can that not count as me saving you?"

There was no light in the room, and it was pitch dark.

Huo Zheng was so angry that he laughed at her confident look. He reached out and touched several parts of his body, which were wrapped in white cloth, as if they had been treated with medicine.

The girl said she saved him, which wasn't entirely false.

Chunzhi walked to the table, took out a tinder and lit the oil lamp.

The moment the light came on, Huo Zheng immediately shook out the quilt and covered himself with it, saying unhappily, "Why did you suddenly turn on the light?"

Huo Zheng was not wearing anything.

Haruji only remembered this after she lit the oil lamp and saw the scene clearly.

The man's reaction was as if she had taken advantage of him. Chunzhi was both angry and amused: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

She said, "When I applied the medicine on you earlier, I wiped it all over your body. Do you think you need to take another look at it?"

"You!" Huo Zheng had never seen such an ignorant girl before. He frowned and scolded her softly, "You country girl, you have no shame."

"I am a country girl, and where are you from?"

If it were any other day, Chunzhi might not argue with him about this.

But she had been wronged today and was angry, so she immediately retorted, "When it comes to saving lives, what distinction is there between men and women? If I were to insist on sex when saving someone, I should have left you lying on the street waiting to die!"

Huo Zheng's handsome face stiffened slightly as he said, "Sharp tongue!"

Chunzhi said, "Then go ahead."

Huo Zheng suddenly: "..."

Is it that he doesn't want to leave?

If he hadn't been naked, he would have left long ago.

After a long while, Huo Zheng spoke again: "Where are my clothes?"
