Lu Zheng received no response, only the sound of the sea breeze and waves crashing against the shore.
Suddenly, Lu Zheng felt as if there was something in his hand, round like a pill. He was holding Xin Xin's hand. Where did this thing come from?
He tried to pick it up to see what it was, but there was nothing there, only water droplets in his hand.
He didn't see it, but the water droplet slipped from his hand and landed on Gu Xin's injured heart.
Gu Xin's body was a little cold, so Lu Zheng put his mouth to dry it and warm it up. Then he took Gu Xin's hand and rubbed it to warm it up for her. He didn't want to be reminded of the scene of Gu Xin's death in his previous life, when Gu Xin's whole body was ice cold. So, he wanted to warm it up for her.
His hands were wet; he rubbed them with sand, then rubbed them again, exhaling hot air to dry them. Now his hands were completely dry.
Holding Gu Xin's hand again, he gently rubbed and kneaded it, and suddenly, another ball appeared.
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment. He hadn't been mistaken; the small pill had indeed appeared from Xin Xin's hand.
This time, his hands were dry, so the jade beads didn't dissolve when they came into contact with water; instead, they lay quietly in Lu Zheng's palm.
Lu Zheng picked up the jade bead with his other hand. It was dark all around, so he couldn't tell what it was, but he remembered the feeling. It was the life-saving medicine that Xin Xin gave him when he went to Yunhai as a spy. She said that as long as he had a breath left, he would definitely survive.
Lu Zheng was overjoyed and didn't even bother to think about how this thing had fallen out of Gu Xin's hand out of nowhere, but this thing could save a life!
He was overjoyed, like a child who had found candy. He immediately fed it to Gu Xin, then held her hand, gently rubbing it and calling out, "Xin Xin, Xin Xin."
As a result, another one came out after this kneading.
Lu Zheng finally understood. This thing came out of Xin Xin's little hands, and as long as a certain point was rubbed, the switch would be triggered.
He picked it up and fed it to Gu Xin.
After being fed three pills in a row, Gu Xin finally woke up.
At this moment, Gu Xin's memory was still stuck on the moment she stabbed Agil on the ship. Agil didn't dodge and let her stab him. She knew then that she had fallen into a trap. Agil wanted to take her down with him. It was too late for her to escape.
Before she fainted, she wanted to take one last look at Brother Yuanyuan, but her eyelids wouldn't stay open.
When she opened her eyes, she could feel a pair of warm, large hands holding her small hands. Her heart ached a little, and she heard that familiar, gentle voice calling her name.
She sat up abruptly, and was greeted with a big hug.
"Xin Xin, you scared me to death!" Lu Zheng hugged Gu Xin tightly, as if she would disappear the next moment if he didn't hold her tight.
"Cough cough cough, it hurts, Brother Yuanyuan, it hurts!" Gu Xin coughed up a few mouthfuls of water and said weakly.
"I'm so sorry, I got too excited." Lu Zheng let go of Gu Xin, took her hand, and asked carefully, "Where does it hurt? Your chest?"
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough cough..." Gu Xin coughed several times, spitting out a lot of seawater. She shook her head and clutched her chest. "Yeah, I was stabbed by Agil. Her knife must have been poisoned. She's so scary, she wanted to drag me down with her!"
“Come on, I’ll carry you on my back. Let’s find a place and see if we have any firewood. We can dry ourselves off.” Lu Zheng squatted down in front of Gu Xin.
Gu Xin climbed onto Lu Zheng's back and rested her head on his shoulder.
