Chapter 33 Rainy Night Accompany

Only the wild ducks were still wandering unconsciously on the river, and were ruthlessly harvested by Lu Mingchuan.

Perhaps because she had been nagged too much, Su Heng was awakened at night by the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves.

The window was not closed, and a cool and steamy wind blew in. She couldn't help but shiver and quickly pulled the quilt over her.

But the roof had no suspended ceiling and the sound insulation was poor. Su Heng slept in a daze and not very peacefully, listening to the sound of heavy rain hitting the tiles.

Suddenly, she heard a loud noise coming from the other room.

Su Heng woke up instantly.

What's going on? Is there a thief in the house?

She sat up and listened carefully. The main room was very quiet, with only the sound of raindrops hitting the roof tiles.

Su Heng realized belatedly that the sound seemed to come from Lu Mingchuan's room.

She put on her shoes, lit the lamp in the dark, and opened the door carefully.

The main room was not big and there were no blind spots, so Su Heng could see everything clearly at a glance.

There was no one around. She breathed a sigh of relief and then called out, "Lu Mingchuan? Was it you who made that noise just now?"

No one answered, Su Heng knocked on the door again, but still no one answered.

Nothing will happen, right?

She didn't care about anything else and quickly pushed the door open. As soon as she entered, she found Lu Mingchuan lying on the ground and the table was knocked askew by him.

"Lu Mingchuan!"

Su Heng quickly ran over and tried to help him up.

However, Lu Mingchuan seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. His body was terribly hot and his forehead was covered in sweat.

He was almost 1.9 meters tall, huddled there with his legs bent, pitifully. As soon as Su Heng approached, he grabbed her tightly.

The force was so great that Su Heng's arm hurt a little.

He was still muttering unconsciously: "Run... ambush... don't fall into it... it's a trap..."

Su Heng could feel Lu Mingchuan's body trembling and his spirit was very tense.

He was already very big and his body was tense, so she couldn't move him at once, so she gave him some of her supernatural power.

Patting Lu Mingchuan on the back gently, Su Heng comforted him, "It's okay, it's all over. You're safe now. Go to sleep."

Hearing this familiar voice, his tense body relaxed a little and his hands loosened a little, but his injured leg was still shaking.

It was the thighs that were shaking, and if you looked closely you could see that the area below the knees was still stiff.

Su Heng looked at the rain outside the window. It must be a rainy day, and her joints were aching.

She input some supernatural powers into Lu Mingchuan's knees.

He hasn't recovered to the third level yet, so it can only temporarily relieve the pain and at most warm his meridians to make him feel better.

Seeing that Lu Mingchuan's legs had stopped shaking, Su Heng stopped transferring his supernatural power and stood up to close the window to prevent more moisture from drifting in.

Lu Mingchuan seemed to still be in a nightmare, with a frown on his face. She took great effort to move him onto the kang.

Lu's mother's room was next to the kitchen, so there was a kang (a large bed) on it. Su Heng pushed him in a little to prevent him from rolling down again.

She touched Lu Mingchuan's forehead and found that his fever was subsiding because of the supernatural power he had just lost.

Su Heng sighed and looked at Lu Mingchuan's face, which looked a little fragile in his sleep.

I heard that many soldiers who have been to the battlefield will suffer from a series of mental disorders such as post-war trauma.

She didn't expect that Lu Mingchuan would have it too.

After all, he usually looks so calm that people unconsciously overlook that he is only twenty years old.

But then again, he's a man of few words, and he keeps everything to himself and doesn't like to say it out loud.

I don’t know what he went through, but listening to the few words he just said, I think it must be a very painful memory.

She took a dry towel and roughly wiped the sweat off Lu Mingchuan's body. After this experience, he was almost awake.

Afraid that Lu Mingchuan would have a fever again, Su Heng sat by his side and watched over him for a while, but fell asleep unknowingly.

Because she went to bed late, she didn't wake up until dawn.

Sunlight streamed in from the window. When Su Heng woke up, she couldn't help but squint. Then she saw the unfamiliar furnishings and the hard kang beneath her, and she suddenly woke up.

She glanced to the side and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lu Mingchuan was no longer in bed, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing to wake up and stare at each other in amazement.

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from the door.

"woke up?"

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Su Heng couldn't pretend to be dead with his eyes open, so he could only grit his teeth and make a mosquito-like "hmm" sound and quickly get up.

She wore thin and loose clothes when she slept at night and didn't wear any underwear at all.

"Make way."

Lu Mingchuan stepped aside and looked at her back as she quickly rushed back to the room and her blushing ears, his eyes soft.

Su Heng, who had just put on her clothes and came out, took the initiative and said, "You were the one who cried and held my hand last night, begging me not to leave."

Lu Mingchuan didn't even want to ask, but when he heard it, he said, "Really? I cried?"

Su Heng nodded affirmatively and said seriously: "You cried so hard. I didn't expect that a grown-up like you would be afraid of thunder."

Lu Mingchuan deliberately said, "Why don't I have any impression of it?"

Hearing him say that he had no recollection at all, Su Heng breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, otherwise she would have to explain the matter of his leg.

"You must be delirious from the fever. I thought there was a thief. I came over to see you lying on the ground. Luckily, I was kind-hearted and took care of you all night."

After listening to her, Lu Mingchuan chuckled and didn't ask any more questions.

He just said in a very rare gentle tone: "Thank you, you have worked hard, I feel much better today."

His sincere thanks made Su Heng feel a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't do anything, I just wiped your sweat."

Lu Mingchuan smiled, and seeing that she didn't want to mention it, he didn't say anything more.

He actually had some consciousness, and the pain in his knee, like a maggot clinging to his bones, seemed to be engraved in his soul.

But as that warm energy poured in, the pain was alleviated.

Su Heng was not used to Lu Mingchuan's clingy behavior, so she said, "I'm going to cook" and ran away.

For breakfast, we had braised noodles with green beans. Su Heng is not very good at cooking northern dishes, but her cooking skills are there, and the food she made was still delicious.

But there are a lot of beans left, and it’s not good to eat them every day.

After thinking about it, Su Heng suddenly had an idea: he could make kimchi.

I ate it when I was a child. The sour cowpeas and pickled radishes were very delicious.

After Lu Mingchuan finished washing the dishes, he came to help her and made a small jar of tea. Su Heng liked spicy food, so he added some chili peppers.

After finishing her work, she went up the mountain to collect herbs again.

Lu Mingchuan watched her departing figure and thought to himself, could it be that the plants and trees in the mountains have become spirits?

This also explains why we know medicinal herbs.

On the other side, Su Heng passed by the river with a backpack on his back and saw that the water level had not risen much.

The dirt road under my feet was almost dry after being exposed to the morning sun, which meant that the amount of rainfall last night was actually not that much.

The grass and trees in the mountains were still covered with dew. Su Heng was a little curious about where the upper reaches of the river were, so she explored the new map along the direction of the river.
