Chapter 146 Hitting His Chin
The middle of the night is not without danger.
There were poisonous snakes, lone wolves that had run here, and reptiles and the like approaching them.
Xiao Lanyuan's fingers shot out hidden energy, silently eliminating several approaching dangers, without giving them any chance to disturb Fu Zhaoning.
"You slept soundly."
He looked at Fu Zhaoning in his arms and said this silently.
Xiao Lanyuan also found it a little strange. Based on his previous understanding of Fu Zhaoning, this girl was very alert and could instantly detect the slightest movement.
I didn't expect to sleep so soundly in the mountains tonight. Was I really exhausted?
Or does she trust him so much subconsciously?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Lanyuan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He hugged her a little tighter and closed his eyes.
The clear bird song in the early morning woke Fu Zhaoning up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was still a little dazed. She didn't know where she was for a moment and was a little confused.
Only when she had a good sleep did she feel like this when she woke up.
After Fu Zhaoning realized what was happening, she was shocked. She had clearly slept by the fire in the mountains with a medicine basket in her arms last night. How could she have slept so well?
And isn’t this medicine basket too warm?
Feeling something, Fu Zhaoning suddenly sat up straight and looked up.
With a "bang", the top of her head hit Xiao Lanyuan's chin hard.
Xiao Lanyuan bit his tongue when he was hit, and groaned in pain. He reached out and held her head.
Fu Zhaoning hadn't even seen who the other person was, but it was definitely not Helian Fei.
Helian Fei was just a thin boy, not a strong man. Because of the collision, his chin was also very hard, and it hurt her head. Fu Zhaoning didn't react to who the other person was.
"Is your head an iron head?"
Xiao Lanyuan pushed his cheeks up, his tongue felt a little numb, and he stared at her, holding her head to prevent her from moving, fearing that she would push him up again.
While he was speaking, Fu Zhaoning had already smelled his scent and recognized who he was.
It sounded like he was speaking unclearly, perhaps because he bit his tongue. Fu Zhaoning buried his face in his arms and punched him.
"Xiao Lanyuan, when did you come back?"
Didn't he leave last night?
"If I hadn't come back, you would have been taken away by the wolf last night."
Xiao Lanyuan then loosened his hand, lifted her by the back of her collar, and lifted her up from his arms.
She had been leaning on him and using him as a pillow last night, and he hadn't changed his position at all. Now his legs were numb.
"You were taken away by a wolf. I am always very alert when I spend the night in the wild. If there really was a wolf coming, I would have discovered it long ago."
Fu Zhaoning raised his head, sat up straight, stretched his body, and stared at him.
Xiao Lanyuan laughed angrily.
He took her face in his hands and turned her head to the side, "Look over there."
He is really stubborn.
"What are you looking at..huh?"
Fu Zhaoning looked over and his words got stuck in his throat.
There was indeed a dead wolf lying there, only about three meters away from them.
The wolf was so close, but she didn't even notice it? This was a terrifying thing for Fu Zhaoning!
"Helian Fei!"
She thought of the child and looked around anxiously, but saw Helian Fei still lying there motionless. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But he hadn't woken up yet when he heard the noise. Fu Zhaoning was worried that he had a fever, so he hurried over to check.
"What did you call him?" Xiao Lanyuan's face changed slightly when he heard the name Fu Zhaoning called out, "His surname is Helian?"
Only then did Fu Zhaoning realize that he was also a member of the Zhao royal family. Could he also hate the Helian tribe?
Logically speaking, the people of Zhao should not like foreigners who were scheming and took away a piece of their territory, but I heard that the gamble was more because the queen was stupid.
Moreover, not all members of the Helian tribe are bad people. Fu Zhaoning will not completely reject all members of the Helian tribe because of that incident.
But Xiao Lanyuan might not.
"Yes, he said he was from the Helian tribe and came to the capital of Zhaoguo to look for someone."
Fu Zhaoning touched Helian Fei's head gently with the back of her hand. He indeed had a slight fever, but fortunately it was not a high fever. It seemed that her medicine had a very good effect.
If you don't have a high fever, it's not a big problem.
Maybe he was just too tired.
"A member of the Helian tribe..." Xiao Lanyuan frowned and said to her, "Do you want to take care of his business?"
"What do you mean by minding his business? Didn't I tell you? I took his consultation fee and he is my patient, so I am only responsible for his injuries and I won't take care of other things."
"No matter what, the Queen hates the Helian people deeply, and will also vent her anger on those who are on good terms with the Helian people. When you arrive in the capital, stay away from him."
Fu Zhaoning glanced at him.
"And you?"
"Um?"
"You also hate the Helian people?"
"I can't say I like it, but I don't hate it either."
Xiao Lanyuan originally wanted to say that even if the Queen really found out that you had contact with the Helian people, I would be able to protect you, but he also felt that this girl should not be indulged too much. Who knows what she would do if he protected her?
Especially since she had originally wanted to spend the night alone in the mountains with a young man like Helian Fei, this made him feel a little unhappy.
"Don't worry about him after you return to the capital," he added.
After returning to the capital, didn't she still have to cure Helian Fei's leg first? At least he had to stop the risk of his leg getting inflamed again, and she would not take care of the rest of the recovery.
"He has a slight fever now. You stay here and watch over him. I have to go get some water and give him some medicine."
"You are very rude to order me around."
Xiao Lanyuan originally didn't want Fu Zhaoning to stay here alone with Helian Fei, but thinking that she might be in danger if she went out to find water by herself, he said helplessly, "I'll go find water."
While he went to get water, Fu Zhaoning took out a needle and gave Helian Fei an injection.
With this injection, the fever will be reduced.
"Helian Fei, wake up, we have to go back."
Helian Fei woke up groggy and saw Fu Zhaoning in the still hazy sky.
"I'm alive."
He said something in a hoarse voice, sat up with difficulty, and looked at his injured leg.
"Of course I'm still alive, otherwise I would be unworthy of the medical fee you gave me." Fu Zhaoning smiled.
Xiao Lanyuan came back soon and brought water.
"Why is he still here?" Helian Fei was also surprised when he saw Xiao Lanyuan.
Didn’t you leave last night?
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.
These two people are really similar. They can both sleep so soundly here that I didn't even notice that he turned back last night.
"Was there a wolf last night?" Helian Fei saw the dead wolf not far away, then looked at Xiao Lanyuan, as if he understood something.
He pursed his lips, "You saved us."
