Chapter 1009 Love at first sight?
Zhu Feng didn't understand.
He just lowered his head and continued to look at the woman, his eyes slowly moving from her pretty face down to her slender neck.
There, there was a layer of gauze wrapped around it.
Because her neck was injured.
When I think about when I fished her out last night, I saw blood flowing from her neck, staining her clothes red. It was a very horrifying sight.
He even worried that she wouldn't survive.
Fortunately, she survived because although the wound was in the throat, it was not deep and did not seem to be caused by an iron object, so it was not fatal. When they reached the shore, he asked someone to call a doctor to examine her. After the doctor applied medicine, he repeatedly assured her that her life would not be in danger.
However, it is still unclear what sequelae will be left after soaking in sea water for so long and suffering such tearing.
Why would a woman appear at sea on a stormy night?
What happened to her wound?
Also, why did that strange feeling in my heart almost disappear after seeing her?
Zhu Feng looked at her and couldn't help but raise his hand and reach out to her pale cheek.
Her face was pale and her lips were white due to blood loss.
The skin is slightly cool.
This touch gave Zhu Feng, whose body usually had a high temperature, a strange feeling. It was as if he had been electrocuted on the back of his hand, and the numbing feeling spread to his heart all of a sudden.
He was slightly stunned.
At this moment, an old voice came from outside: "Sir, the medicine is ready."
As he was speaking, the old boatman pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a bowl of steaming medicine.
When he looked up, he saw Zhu Feng touching the face of the woman they rescued last night. His old face suddenly turned red, and he said "Oh", and retreated out a little at a loss.
Zhu Feng's hand seemed to be burned, and he immediately pulled it back.
He said, "You, come in."
The old boatman then walked in carefully again and saw that Zhu Feng had stood up and walked to the other side with his hands behind his back. Although there was no expression on his face, there was still an awkward atmosphere in the air.
The old boatman smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, the medicine the doctor ordered is ready."
"Well, you, give her the drink."
The old boatman was a little hesitant.
Last night, after they rescued the woman, they immediately turned the boat around to avoid the storm. Fortunately, they reached the shore safely, and he took them both back to his home. This noble man was generous with his money, and he not only hired a doctor and asked for medicine, but also stayed by the woman's bedside all night.
It seems that he fell in love with this woman at first sight.
But if she was interested, why did she let me feed her the medicine at this time? Wouldn't it be closer if I let him do it himself?
So, the old boatman said with a smile: "Sir, feeding medicine requires carefulness. I am old and my hands are shaking. I can't do it."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at him silently.
After a while, she came over and took the bowl of medicine from his hand.
Then, it was brought to your mouth.
"Why!"
The old boatman got anxious when he saw this and quickly stopped him, saying, "Sir, this is for the girl, not for you to drink by yourself."
“……?”
Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at the bowl of medicine that was almost to his mouth, and was stunned for a moment.
It’s strange, why would I want to drink this medicine directly?
And this feeling is so strange.
He frowned, coughed lightly, and covered up his confusion, saying, "Let me see if this medicine is hot."
"Oh, I see."
The old boatman standing nearby smiled and nodded, "You are so thoughtful and considerate."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't know why some people would say that he was careful and considerate.
This has nothing to do with me at all.
He frowned, but didn't say much. He walked to the bed and carefully picked up the woman on the bed. He felt that she was very thin and her body was weak and boneless. She lay in his arms, her pale little face unconsciously pressed against his chest.
At this close distance, I can see her face more clearly.
Pale and delicate.
In the sunlight, her skin glowed slightly and had a translucent feeling, like an exquisite porcelain doll. If you touched her a little harder, she would probably be damaged.
Zhu Feng subconsciously softened his grip, carefully letting her sit in his arms, then scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew gently twice, and brought it to her mouth.
He put a spoon against her lips, pried open her teeth, and poured the medicine in.
I swallowed subconsciously and immediately felt the bitterness of the medicine.
She resisted instinctively, her brows slightly furrowed, and the medicine flowed down the corners of her mouth.
"Ouch."
When the old boatman saw this, he hurried over with a handkerchief to help her wipe it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhu Feng said, "No need!"
His voice was low, and although it was just two words, it carried an irresistible aura of oppression, and the old boatman suddenly dared not move.
Zhu Feng frowned again and whispered in her ear, "Drink the medicine!"
I don’t know if it was because my “intimidation” worked, or if the woman had some feeling even in her coma, but she actually opened her lips and drank the medicine.
The next half bowl of medicine was fed smoothly.
Zhu Feng slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, then carefully put her back on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
The old boatman watched from the side and smiled slightly, saying, "This girl is someone who cherishes her life. Unlike my son, sometimes he is unconscious and I can't even force him to drink medicine."
Zhu Feng looked up at him and said, "Oh?"
The old boatman smiled again and said, "Thank you very much, sir. This time my son has finally been saved. The doctor came to see him yesterday and prescribed some medicine. He has only taken one dose and he is already feeling much better."
"Um."
Zhu Feng was just indifferent.
In fact, the old boatman doesn't need to thank himself.
The transaction was originally a fair one between the buyer and the seller. She gave him money so that he could send her out to sea, not to save his son. His gratitude was unnecessary and extravagant.
But now, he and this woman came to his house and occupied one of his rooms.
It also keeps him busy.
Zhu Feng thought about it, turned around, took out another silver note from his sleeve, and handed it directly to the old boatman.
This time, because he wanted to act alone in advance, he prepared a lot of money on him.
This banknote is just a drop in the bucket.
But it scared the honest old boatman, because he had never seen so much money in his life.
Suddenly he was stunned: "Sir, what are you doing——"
"This is your reward. You have to take care of her. For the next few days, all the medical expenses and medicines will be paid for from here."
The old boatman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about you, sir?"
