Su Jin pulled the blanket down and wrapped herself up in it.
There was no charcoal fire in the room, and it had been uninhabited for a long time, so it was extremely cold.
The hunter's footsteps sounded, he poured out the water, and then returned, but there was no further movement after that.
Granny Qi only prepared one room.
Night fell, the wind died down, and even the dogs and chickens went to sleep. Su Jin was surrounded by silence and darkness.
For the first time since losing her sight, she sat there so quietly, as if the whole world had disappeared from her mind.
Su Jinxia gradually became uneasy.
"Are you still there?" Su Jinxia suddenly asked urgently.
The hunter's footsteps sounded as he walked to the bedside and gently patted Su Jinxia's arm.
Su Jin understood immediately and quickly extended her hand.
The hunter wrote: Sleep peacefully, don't be afraid, I will stay here.
Su Jin clenched his fist. Did he realize he was afraid?
The hunter patted the pillow, and Su Jin lay down. The hunter then tucked her in tightly.
A very simple wooden flute hung above the bed, which must have belonged to the previous owner.
The hunter reached out, picked up the flute, blew off the dust, and tested two notes.
Then a simple tone sounded.
Su Jin pursed her lips, her expression gradually relaxing. The other person had controlled the volume very well, it was soft and gentle, and very pleasant to the ear.
However, Su Jin had never heard this tune before.
She really knows nothing about music.
Having lived two lives, I struggled between life and death, and had little time to concern myself with such matters.
She thought that in this life she would definitely be able to turn the tide, and then enjoy tea, listen to music, and stroll around the streets and alleys.
But she ultimately overestimated herself, and there was no future for her.
Lost in thought, Su Jin fell asleep.
The music stopped, and the hunter stepped out of the room. A dark figure landed beside him.
As soon as they left the snow-capped mountains, Qu Yi found Shen Qianxue, but she never showed herself.
"Do you have any medicine for frostbite?" Shen Qianxue asked.
Qu Yi immediately took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue took the document and continued to instruct, "Go find Lu Ming immediately and have him come to see me."
Qu Yi frowned with some worry, "Could it be that Miss Su has run into trouble? Doctor Lu left alone and has been gone for quite some time. I'm afraid it will take some time to find him."
Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth, feeling uneasy.
He had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with Su Jinxia's Gu mother. Otherwise, given Su Jinxia's constitution, she shouldn't have gone blind, developed a fever, suffered frostbite, or even been unable to sense the presence of others in the same room.
One of the powers that makes the Glass Gu Mother so feared is her extremely strong sensory perception, but Su Jinxia doesn't seem to possess that ability now.
"Lu Ming has most likely gone to Leien Temple. Let's go there to look for him!"
Qu Yi accepted the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
After Qu Yi left, Shen Qianxue returned to the room, lifted the blanket, and helped Su Jin apply the medicine.
Su Jin rolled over and, still half asleep, kicked Chen Qianxue, but didn't wake up.
But the frown between Shen Qianxue's brows grew even more intense.
He never imagined that his trip would turn out like this; he had come with the intention of disrupting Su Jin's plans.
Back then, Shen Qianxue suspected that Su Jinxia had other plans, so she investigated her actions after leaving Liuli Mountain and thus discovered Zhou Chen's existence.
At that time, Shen Qianxue was really surprised. He never expected that Su Jinxia had unknowingly gained control of a prince.
Zhou Chen may be the least important of the princes, but his older brother is Zhou Lin, who commands 100,000 Tiger Forest soldiers.
Now, the imperial court wants to use the Tiger Forest Army to deal with Su Jinxia. This is like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. Su Jinxia will definitely use Zhou Chen to restrain Zhou Lin, and may even want to bring Zhou Lin and the entire Tiger Forest Army under his control!
After a thorough investigation, Shen Qianxue discovered that Su Jinxia had already left the military camp and secretly headed to the Northeast.
Shen Qianxue followed along, also wanting to compete for Zhou Lin's attention.
However, when she encountered trouble, he panicked and recklessly ventured deep into the snow-capped mountains to search for her.
Shen Qianxue looked at Su Jinxia, her heart filled with both pain and hatred!
"Aren't you supposed to be so capable? Why have you gotten yourself into this state?"
In the silent night, no one answered Shen Qianxue's accusations...
The next day, Su Jinxia woke up from her sleep, and the glaring light made her eyes sting slightly.
Su Jinxia raised her arm to shield her eyes from the sunlight streaming into the room. It took her a while to adjust before she opened her eyes and stared blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings for a long time.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside.
Shen Qianxue pushed open the door and walked in, her tall figure coming into Su Jinxia's view.
He had lost a lot of weight, and the contours of his face were more defined and resolute. His brows and eyes were calm, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he had a solemn air about him.
He was wearing a fur coat, which made him look quite robust, and he was holding a basin in his hand, from which steam was rising.
Shen Qianxue looked at Su Jinxia staring straight at her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but upon closer inspection, she realized that Su Jinxia's gaze was unfocused.
"Is it you, Hunter?" Su Jinxia asked softly.
Shen Qianxue relaxed, put the basin on the shelf, wet and wrung out the towel on the edge, and then took it to Su Jinxia and placed the hot towel in her hands.
Su Jin gave a slight smile. "Thank you."
Then, Su Jin washed her hands and face clean.
Shen Qianxue took the towel away, placed Su Jinxia's hand on the clothes beside her, and then wrote in her palm: I borrowed clean clothes for you.
Su Jin nodded.
After Shen Qianxue left, Su Jin changed her clothes, walked to the door, and pushed it open.
Shen Qianxue was right outside the door. She quickly went up to her, grabbed her arm, and led her into the yard. Then she wrote: "The weather is nice today. You can sunbathe here while I go help Granny Qi cook."
Su Jin nodded again.
She watched him turn and walk into the kitchen.
The kitchen was in the courtyard, open-air. Granny Qi was washing rice, and she shouted to Su Jinxia, "Madam, thanks to your husband, we're having chicken stew with mushrooms and rice today. I usually wouldn't even eat a bit of this rice, but I'm letting it go today for the sake of you two."
Su Jin smiled and said, "You've gone to so much trouble for me, Mother-in-law."
Granny Qi laughed and said, "No expense, no expense. Your husband is very skilled in martial arts. He brought back many pheasants and rabbits. I am very fortunate to have benefited from this."
Su Jin didn't continue the conversation, a faint smile on her face as she watched Shen Qianxue kill a chicken.
He was very efficient. He scalded the chicken with boiling water, plucked off all the feathers, removed the internal organs, picked up a large knife, and chopped the chicken into pieces.
Soon the chicken was put into the pot, the sauce was poured on, and the seasonings were sprinkled on, and the aroma came out.
Su Jin's stomach started growling uncontrollably.
Shen Qianxue had sharp ears, and upon hearing this, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.
After simmering for a while, the food was finally ready. As a blind person, Su Jinxia continued to enjoy being fed.
Shen Qianxue was afraid that she would have trouble gnawing on bones, so she would remove the chicken bones and then feed her with a spoon.
Su Jin felt a tightness in her chest and her nose stung.
