An Moxue released Wu Sicheng's hand, her eyes full of teasing, "Oh! How did you get injured? You even had to use the life-saving pill I gave you."
Before Wu Sicheng could answer, An Moxue continued, "Fortunately, the medicine was administered in time. Take your time to recover! Don't use any martial arts for a while, especially your internal energy. What injured you? It wasn't a grenade or landmine, was it? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so badly injured!"
"Yes, you're right. What brings you here so late?" He looked at her, the emotions in his eyes known only to himself. After Fu Shanyue brought him back, he remained unconscious for four days before waking up.
He had a long dream over the past four days. An Moxue wasn't in that dream. He died while on a mission, right when she first saved him.
After he woke up, he was unable to come to his senses for a long time, feeling that it was not a dream, but like his past life.
So, when he looked at her, it was as if he had been away from her for two lifetimes and had come back; he was a little dazed.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's a little creepy," Wu Sicheng thought to himself. She always had a way of ruining the atmosphere and interrupting the ripples in his heart.
Wu Sicheng smiled gently, "No, it's just that I haven't seen you for a while, and I feel that you're getting more and more beautiful."
An Moxue replied vainly, "Of course, I'm pretty too. There's a saying that a beauty looks better under the lamplight, right? Aren't we both under the lamplight?" She showed no shyness or embarrassment whatsoever.
The two men leaned against the doorframe and chatted animatedly, showing no intention of going inside. "You'd never guess, I arrested two people. Who are they? And they were even brought to my house."
Who is it?
“In the past, the two of us stood at the border watching ancient martial arts practitioners cross the border helplessly. They were master and disciple. Do you want to interrogate them?”
Wu Sicheng looked at her; she really had a knack for attracting trouble. "How did they end up at your place?"
"They must have been hired by someone. Shall we go?"
"Go. Let's go now." Wu Sicheng said, went into the house, grabbed a bundle, and then took An Moxue's hand and left the house.
After locking the door, he asked, "Where are you going? I'm injured, so walk slowly and drive slowly too."
"Okay, don't worry, just follow me." The two of them went from him leading her to her leading him.
When they arrived at the motorcycle, An Moxue sat in front and Wu Sicheng sat behind her. He put his arm around her waist and said, "Okay, we can go now."
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything. After all, he was injured, and it was safer for him to have his arm around her waist while they rode in the car.
Halfway there, Wu Sicheng's weak voice came, "Mo Xue, I'm not feeling well, can I lean on your back for a bit?"
"Okay, are you alright? Would you like to slow down?"
"No need, just do as usual." After Wu Sicheng finished speaking, he leaned his whole body against An Moxue's back. She stiffened for a moment, and the motorcycle swayed slightly.
Wu Sicheng's weak voice came from behind An Moxue, "Moxue?" His hot breath hit her back, and she instantly felt burning hot.
Wu Sicheng had his eyes closed. If An Moxue stopped the car and looked back, she would see his exhausted and weak face. But since An Moxue had brought those two people to him, he couldn't let it pass. He had to interrogate them properly. There were some things he didn't understand before, and he hoped that he could resolve them this time.
And so, the two of them did not exchange another word and continued on their way to An Moxue's house.
Upon entering the house, Wu Sicheng looked at the mess in the living room and could imagine how intense the fight must have been that night.
He turned around, looked at her, and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"No. I'll wake him up. You ask, and I'll go inside and get you some medicine. Do you need a True Word Pill? You don't look well, so let's save our energy! What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
An Moxue reached out and fed a pill to her master, then used a silver needle to poke his head a few times, and he slowly woke up.
"Don't forget to find out where they kept their money. If you find it, you can compensate me for my losses. As for the rest, do whatever you want. Oh! Don't worry, he can't fight back now."
After An Moxue finished speaking, she walked towards the bedroom. Wu Sicheng watched her figure disappear before taking a chair and sitting down in front of his master, and began to ask questions.
......
An Moxue returned to her bedroom, locked the door, drew the curtains, and, thinking about Wu Sicheng's pulse, went into the space pharmacy, remembering that her ancestor had a prescription that was just right for treating internal organ damage.
She found the prescription and began to prepare the medicine according to the exact proportions required, a process that took her a long time.
By the time she finished preparing the medicine, Wu Sicheng had already finished interrogating the person and was leaning weakly on the sofa with his eyes closed and his hands folded over his lower abdomen.
This was the first time An Moxue had seen him so weak. She walked up to him and asked softly, "Wu Sicheng?"
"Hmm?" He slowly opened his eyes. "Mo Xue, are you done?"
“Hmm, making tonics is quick, unlike making poison, where even the slightest mistake can ruin it, which is very troublesome.” An Moxue handed him a small jade bottle and said, “Just one pill a day is enough. After taking it, record any symptoms you experience and then give it to me.”
He smiled slightly, his clothes were a bit too big, and he had lost a lot of weight, giving him a sickly beauty. "So, am I a guinea pig? Will I get a reward?"
"Yes, you are allowed to stay here for the next few days so that I can observe the effects of the medication closely and know its efficacy more accurately."
"Did nobody use it before?"
"No, this is a family secret recipe. It's just that this is the first time I've made it, and this is the first time you've eaten it. Do you understand?"
"I can't afford this medicine, can I? Could you give me another life-saving pill?"
"Sure!"
"How about I pay for the medicine with my life!"
An Moxue glanced at him sideways and said, "You should save your medicine to serve your country! My medicine is very expensive."
An Moxue poured him a glass of water, handed it to him, and said, "Take your medicine first! Have you settled my compensation issue?"
"I've got it."
"That's good."
An Moxue walked up to the master and apprentice, and gave each of them a few needles in the head. She said, "Alright, you've taken your medicine. Go to sleep early! It's the same room you slept in last time. I cleaned it this afternoon."
"Okay, sure. Sorry to bother you, Mo Xue."
"It's okay, just try to convert it into money for me. I feel that money is the most reassuring thing. It's much more reliable than people and won't betray you."
"Sure! I'll give you all my possessions. You've saved me several times already. The ancients even said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body! What do you think of me?"
An Moxue didn't look at him, but walked towards the bedroom, saying, "Not good at all. I'm definitely richer than you. I'm at a loss. Good night!"
