Chapter 156 Extra 4: Lin Zhiheng
"Tick-tock"
There was total silence in the dark deep cave, with only the sound of dripping water constantly falling into Nan Zhiyan's ears.
This was the third day since Nan Zhiyan fell into the deep pit. Her legs were broken and she didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
The hunger even made her feel a little numb, and the biting cold continued to invade her body.
She looked at the sky above her head, despair came over her like a tide, but she could do nothing but quietly feel her life passing away.
She then recalled her memories of her previous life. She didn't want to die, she wanted to go home.
Nothing was more painful for her than recalling everything at this moment.
The scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurry. Nan Zhiyan just felt so cold that she could not hold on any longer.
"Hey, wake up, are you still alive?"
Just when Nan Zhiyan was about to lose consciousness, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
A pair of warm hands helped her up. She forced herself to open her eyes, and the young boy's tender face came into view.
It was not a fair and clean face, it was even a little dark and dirty.
But at this moment, it seemed to be glowing in Nan Zhiyan's eyes.
Lin Zhiheng helped Nan Zhiyan up, his eyes a little anxious. He tested Nan Zhiyan's breath and pulse, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was alive.
He quickly tied the vines to the two of them, carried Nan Zhiyan on his back, and climbed up little by little.
Lin Zhiheng originally came to the mountain to hunt. His grandfather was sick, and he wanted to exchange the prey for some special medicine.
I heard that the nobles outside this protected area like the prey in the forest the most.
Prey often falls into this deep pit, and Lin Zhiheng came here first as usual.
Unexpectedly, I didn't see the prey, but I saw a girl.
He was startled, but still rescued people reflexively.
Because of years of hunting, going out to sea and working, Lin Zhiheng was quite strong and he quickly carried Nan Zhiyan on his back.
First, he put Nan Zhiyan under the tree, and then Lin Zhiheng picked some herbs to stop Nan Zhiyan's bleeding.
He then used a branch to stabilize Nan Zhiyan's broken leg before continuing to carry the person on his back and walking towards home.
But to get home, you still have to climb over two more hills.
Although Lin Zhiheng was very strong, he was just a child after all, and he ran out of strength halfway through the walk.
But even so, he did not let go of Nan Zhiyan, nor did he have any intention of resting. Nan Zhiyan's condition could not be delayed.
His family lives in a village at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains on one side and the sea on the other.
By the time he carried the man back home, it was already evening.
"Ah Heng, what are you doing?"
Hearing the noise, the old man in the house came out and saw Lin Zhiheng and Nan Zhiyan on his back, with a look of surprise.
"Grandpa, I found a man on the mountain."
As Lin Zhiheng was explaining, the old man quickly stepped forward and took the person from Lin Zhiheng's back.
Realizing that Nan Zhiyan's body temperature was higher than normal, his face changed and he quickly asked Lin Zhiheng to fetch some water.
The moment he wiped the blood and dirt off Nan Zhiyan's face, the little Lin Zhiheng stood there in a daze.
He had never seen such a beautiful child, so white that he could almost glow in the night.
She looks just like the royal princess his mother had told him about when she was still alive.
The old man's gaze paused, and he thought of Nan Zhiyan's identity.
Such a cute child cannot be raised in their primeval forest.
A glance at the exquisitely crafted clothes on Nan Zhiyan further confirmed the old man's guess.
But no matter who Nan Zhiyan is, the most urgent task now is to reduce the fever.
The old man took out the special medicine that he had been reluctant to use and prepared to give it to Nan Zhiyan to drink.
"Grandpa, what are you doing? This is your life-saving medicine."
Lin Zhiheng suddenly became anxious, but the old man just shook his head at him.
"Ah Heng, didn't you catch the prey? Give it to Ah Zhi tomorrow, and you can exchange it for two bottles of medicine, right? Saving lives is the most important thing."
Patting Lin Zhiheng's head, the old man said something comforting and fed the medicine to Nan Zhiyan.
This special medicine is a relatively low-level general medicine in the empire. It can cure many diseases, but because of its mediocre therapeutic effect, no one, from commoners to nobles, will use it.
But for people like them, this kind of medicine is already very rare, and it works much faster than the herbs they pick in the mountains themselves.
Lin Zhiheng pursed his lips and said nothing more, but secretly thought about hunting more prey to buy more medicine for his grandfather.
But when he looked at Nan Zhiyan lying on the bed, Lin Zhiheng's heart softened. Well, now there is one more person.
Instead of letting the old man keep watch, Lin Zhiheng took the initiative to ask to take care of Nan Zhiyan.
After taking the special medicine, Nan Zhiyan's condition visibly improved.
When changing the towel on Nan Zhiyan's forehead again, Lin Zhiheng was caught off guard and met Nan Zhiyan's suddenly opened eyes.
The moment he met those eyes, Lin Zhiheng was stunned.
The light amber pupils are like a beautiful and precious gem, clear and translucent.
Nan Zhiyan has big eyes and curly eyelashes, which makes her look more like a perfect doll.
"You, you, you're awake!"
Lin Zhiheng withdrew his hand and gaze with a swish, and two suspicious red clouds floated on his cheeks.
Nan Zhiyan's eyes were a little dazed, and the dull pain from the back of his head continued.
Where is this place? Who is she? Nan Zhiyan's mind went blank. She didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the person on the bed did not respond for a long time, Lin Zhiheng raised his head again and looked at Nan Zhiyan.
When he caught a glimpse of the confusion in Nan Zhiyan's eyes, he paused, his face became a little strange, and asked cautiously.
"Hey, you're not deaf, are you?"
"No, I'm not deaf."
Nan Zhiyan retorted subconsciously, then looked at the person in front of him.
"Then who are you? Why are you on the mountain?"
Lin Zhiheng put the changed handkerchief back on Nan Zhiyan's forehead and asked a question.
"I...I don't know."
Nan Zhiyan replied in a low voice, the confusion in her eyes became even more intense, as if she had forgotten something very important.
How can someone not know who he is!
Just as Lin Zhiheng was about to speak, he saw Nan Zhiyan with his head down, looking very depressed.
He closed his mouth instantly, his heart softened. Nan Zhiyan looked very pitiful.
Nan Zhiyan is not talkative and seems to be unable to laugh.
Over the past few days, he always sat in one place blankly, so silent that he was almost invisible.
Many times, Lin Zhiheng wanted to tease Nan Zhiyan. She was so pretty and should smile more.
But he was stopped by the old man, who seemed to have realized something and told Lin Zhiheng that Nan Zhiyan had just forgotten something and everything would be fine once she remembered it.
But on this day, Lin Zhiheng couldn't help it and took Nan Zhiyan to the beach.
This blue sea breeds countless lives and is the most mysterious place on the Imperial Star.
Lin Zhiheng loves the sea very much. He took Nan Zhiyan and walked barefoot on the beach. The sea water occasionally covered the backs of their feet.
The novel feeling made Nan Zhiyan lower his head. The beach on the seashore was illuminated by the setting sun and turned golden. The gentle sea breeze lifted Nan Zhiyan's loose hair.
The flaming star slowly descended below the sea level, as if it was gradually sinking into the sea, and the sea surface was also illuminated by the rippling light.
A few seagulls were circling and chirping over the sea, and two small figures were walking one after the other on the beach, as beautiful as a painting.
Lin Zhiheng tied up Nan Zhiyan's hair and pointed to the sea.
"How is it? It looks good, right?"
