Chapter 105 Letting go
Xie Anci was a little flustered by his gaze and wanted to pull back his hand, but Pei Xuan held it tighter.
The man in front of him didn't look like someone who would lie, but Xie Anci was not someone who would easily trust others.
"You... let me think about it." Xie Anci turned his head away, not daring to look Pei Xuan in the eye.
Pei Xuan let go of his hand, looking a little lonely: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Pei Xuan chuckled, Xie Anci still had some vigilance deep in his heart.
After boiling hot water, Pei Xuan carried Xie Anci into the house.
His bony hands held Xie Anci's feet, which were as cold as ice cubes. Xie Anci shrank back and tried to avoid Pei Xuan's touch, but Pei Xuan held it tighter and looked up at him.
"It's so cold and you still say you're not cold?" Pei Xuan's tone was filled with a hint of blame.
Xie Anci blushed and muttered, "I'm really not cold."
Pei Xuan ignored him, put Xie Anci's feet in hot water, and rubbed them gently with his hands.
Xie Anci felt his face getting hotter and hotter, and wanted to pull his feet back, but he couldn't break free from Pei Xuan's strong hands.
"Don't move." Pei Xuan said.
"Let go, I'll do it myself." Xie Anci's tone was cold and hard, looking down at him.
Bang -
Xie Anci raised his foot and suddenly stepped on Pei Xuan's chest.
The white brocade clothes were wet by the water, and Pei Xuan raised his eyes to look at Xie Anci.
The man's expression was quite playful, with an innate noble temperament.
For a moment, Pei Xuan thought that Xie Anci had recovered his memory and turned into the Xie Anci of the past.
"Regent King..." Pei Xuan called softly.
Xie Anci came back to his senses and quickly pulled his foot back.
What happened to him just now?
It was as if his feet didn't listen to his brain...
"You...you go out, I'll do it myself." Xie Anci's ears were slightly red, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, Pei Xuan put down the towel and walked out.
Seeing Pei Xuan leave, Xie Anci breathed a sigh of relief, always feeling that he was very uncomfortable in front of Pei Xuan.
Xie Anci quickly washed his feet and got into bed. He had nightmares for two days in a row, which made him feel dizzy.
Pei Xuan came in to pack his things, took off his clothes quietly, and got into bed.
Xie Anci moaned, and Pei Xuan took him into his arms and rubbed his furry head.
Pei Xuan fell asleep with the sound of Xie Anci's soft breathing. He slept
until it was dark.
Xie Anci got up, and Pei Xuan was alone in the kitchen, doing something.
It was so late, Xie Anci found that Lin Yi hadn't come back yet...
He frowned slightly: "Dr. Lin hasn't come back yet?"
Pei Xuan, who was concentrating on fighting wits and courage with the kitchen utensils, was startled by the sound, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Are you okay?" Xie Anci hurried forward to check if Pei Xuan was injured.
"Nothing..." Pei Xuan pulled him
away. "What are you doing in the kitchen?" Xie Anci asked.
"I saw that Doctor Lin didn't come back, and I wanted to make something for you." Pei Xuan's voice became smaller and smaller.
It was really difficult for someone who couldn't even light a fire to do all this.
Xie Anci picked up the knife on the ground, "Do you want to cook or murder?"
Pei Xuan: "..."
"Lin Yi hasn't come back yet so late? Nothing happened, right?" Xie Anci felt uneasy, "I'd better go look for him."
Pei Xuan held Xie Anci, "Let me go, you wait here."
"I'll go, you don't know the way." Although Xie Anci was not familiar with the area, Lin Yi took him around a few times in the past few days.
In the end, neither of them could convince the other, so they walked out together.
Pei Xuan rode a horse and took Xie Anci to the bottom of the valley.
"Doctor Lin--"
"Lin Yi--"
The two shouted Lin Yi nearby, and only their echoes were heard in the silent valley.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Xie Anci became more and more anxious.
"Let's look for it separately, it will be faster." Xie Anci suggested.
"No, it's too dangerous at night, let's look for it together." Pei Xuan frowned. How could he dare to let Xie Anci stay alone now?
Xie Anci couldn't persuade Pei Xuan, so he could only follow Pei Xuan.
The two shouted as they walked.
"Doctor Lin--"
"Doctor Lin--"
Lin Yi, who was lying drowsy on the snow, suddenly heard someone calling him.
Struggling to get up, Lin Yi thought it was an auditory hallucination, but the sound was getting closer and closer.
Finally here!
Lin Yi cried with joy and waved his hands: "I'm here!"
Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Pei Xuan and Xie Anci hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound.
"Lin Yi!" Xie Anci saw Lin Yi first, and he ran over quickly.
Pei Xuan followed closely behind, only to see that Lin Yi's face was pale, with a lot of blood on his body, and he looked very weak.
"What happened to you?" Xie Anci asked with concern.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly: "I accidentally fell down from above, and my leg was pierced by a dead branch."
Xie Anci saw this and helped him up, wanting to carry him on his back.
Pei Xuan grabbed Xie Anci and whistled.
The white horse came over with a clatter.
"Let me do it." Pei Xuan put Lin Yi on the horse, and the two followed.
Lin Yi was relieved when he saw someone coming, and he fainted on the horse.
Back at the residence, Pei Xuan carried the unconscious Lin Yi into the house.
Xie Anci quickly brought hot water, ready to clean Lin Yi's wound.
"I'll help you." Pei Xuan said.
The two carefully cut open Lin Yi's trouser legs. Seeing the bloody wound, Xie Anci couldn't help but take a breath.
"Are there other doctors here?" Pei Xuan frowned.
Xie Anci shook his head. As far as he knew, he was the only doctor in the village.
"There should be a doctor in the town..."
"I'll go to the town to ask for a doctor for him, you take care of him here." Pei Xuan was not a cold-blooded person. It was impossible for him to watch someone die without helping.
"Okay."
Xie Anci was a little surprised. He didn't expect Pei Xuan to take the initiative to help.
Looking at Pei Xuan's leaving back, Xie Anci found Lin Yi's medicine box and treated his wound briefly.
In less than half an hour, Pei Xuan came in with an old man.
The two of them were covered with snowflakes, and they looked a little shabby.
"So soon? Doctor, come and take a look at him." Xie Anci hurriedly welcomed the people in and poured a cup of hot tea for Pei Xuan and the old doctor.
The old doctor took a breath and came to the bed. When he saw Lin Yi's wound, he took a breath of cool air.
"Is the wound so serious? This kid is really something. He went to pick herbs in the snow." The old doctor obviously knew Lin Yi. While nagging, he began to treat Lin Yi's wound.
Xie Anci and Pei Xuan watched nervously on the side.
The old doctor was skilled and treated the wound in a short while.
"It's okay. Just take some medicine and take good care of yourself. He should know it himself." The old doctor walked into Lin Yi's pharmacy and got him a prescription.
"Cook these. He should be able to wake up tomorrow." The old doctor put the medicine into Xie Anci's arms, and Xie Anci took it quickly.
Pei Xuan followed the old doctor and sent him back.
