Chapter 429 It's rare that she's clumsy
"careful!"
Xiao Lanyuan reacted quickly when he heard the movement from behind, but just as he turned around, Fu Zhaoning pounced on him.
He quickly reached out and hugged her, but because Fu Zhaoning fell too fast and he had not yet finished a course of medicinal bath, he was still a little weak. The moment he hugged her, Fu Zhaoning's knee hit his leg, causing him to go limp.
"Bang."
The two men fell heavily to the ground.
Xiao Lanyuan served as Fu Zhaoning's cushion, but he still held her tightly with his hands.
Fu Zhaoning lay on him, and his knees still hurt a little.
This kind of pain made her feel something was wrong.
Her knee hurt because it hit a spot on Xiao Lanyuan's leg, and her knee happened to hit that spot when she fell.
Xiao Lanyuan had been soaking in a medicinal bath these days, and his body bones were all opened up by the medicinal properties. She had previously reminded him to be extra careful during this period and to engrave rules like "no violence" and "no strenuous exercise" into his blood. He never expected that she would be the one to knock him down!
"Xiao Lanyuan, how are you?"
After Fu Zhaoning reacted, he carefully rolled off him and looked at him nervously.
Xiao Lanyuan supported himself on the ground with both hands. He tried to remember it, but——
He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems like my legs are weak, my right leg." So, he couldn't get up.
"It's over."
Fu Zhaoning had never made such a mistake before.
She squatted beside him and stretched out her hand to pinch his right leg. Because she had hit a certain point, she knew where the problem was at the first time.
As expected, Xiao Lanyuan groaned when his joints and acupoints were pinched.
"It feels soft and numb, the kind that feels like it's coming from your bones," he said.
Seeing Fu Zhaoning's face full of guilt and uneasiness, he took her hand and sat up.
"It's not your fault. You see, it was me who insisted on bringing you to see the clothes. It was me who insisted on letting you in. Before you came in, I didn't tell you in advance that there would be a small trap of a threshold as soon as you stepped in."
It's really all his fault.
He also always felt that Fu Zhaoning's reaction and agility were better than many martial artists, so he subconsciously thought that she should be able to react and stand steadily.
But he didn't expect that Fu Zhaoning trusted him and followed him, even distractedly thinking about whether he could empty his treasure house.
There is a small mechanism on the stairs after you come in. When someone takes a step on the outside, the stairs inside will automatically sink to form high and low steps. At this time, the person outside has already stepped in, so he cannot stop his feet. Sometimes, even if he notices the change in the stairs in a flash, it is too late.
If you fall down, the mechanism will be triggered.
He had already turned off the mechanism before he came in, otherwise all the mechanisms would be activated right now.
Fu Zhaoning reached out his hand again and carefully pinched and pressed it to examine it.
Xiao Lanyuan wanted to dodge her hand, but he couldn't even get out of the way with his legs, so he really didn't have the strength.
"I was really distracted just now." Fu Zhaoning admitted frankly. She was distracted thinking about her cheating tool, the pharmacy.
Moreover, she really trusted Xiao Lanyuan. On the one hand, she thought that he should have turned off all the mechanisms. On the other hand, she felt that if there was anything that really needed attention, he would definitely remind her in advance.
Maybe they both trust each other too much?
"I'll sit here and relax for a while. I should be fine soon, right?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
Fu Zhaoning looked at him a little guiltily.
"Well, maybe not that fast, because the medicinal baths you've been taking these days are quite strong. They will help your bones and joints recover, but during this process, your bones, joints, and meridians are in a relatively fragile state."
Now that I'm injured, it really won't be possible to recover that quickly.
"What should I do? You may not be able to walk for three days." Fu Zhaoning felt so guilty that he didn't know how to apologize.
At this critical moment, people still have to enter the palace.
Xiao Lanyuan had never seen Fu Zhaoning so guilty.
He actually found her cute when he saw her like this. Moreover, Fu Zhaoning was more popular and felt closer to him.
Of course, she is not a bad person at ordinary times, but she always does everything very well, very powerfully, and seems to know everything. This makes Xiao Lanyuan feel that he has to work very hard to have the confidence to stand by her side.
Too good, too bright.
Now she finally looked a little naive, and also had some of the panic and anxiety that only girls of this age would have.
Xiao Lanyuan was so excited by what he saw, and yet he felt so soft-hearted.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he liked Fu Zhaoning a little more.
It would be fun if they were together in the future and he teased her into showing this from time to time.
"Can't walk for three days?" He paused deliberately, then looked down at his legs in silence.
His behavior made Fu Zhaoning feel very guilty.
"What should I do? I can't refuse to enter the palace this time, right? I should have avoided your legs when I fell just now."
"No, I should have reacted faster and grabbed you with my backhand so that you wouldn't fall. Even if I fell, I could quickly move to another position and serve as a cushion for you."
Xiao Lanyuan was almost unable to pretend any longer, so how could he bear to let her blame herself?
"Don't talk nonsense."
He reached out and patted her head. "I'm a man, how could I use you as a cushion? Besides, I'm so heavy, you may not be able to hold me up. This mechanism was taught in a book from Youqing Peak. I studied it and asked someone to make it."
He held Fu Zhaoning's hand, gently brushed off the dust on her hands, and coaxed her.
"Since I was the one who made the mechanism, I have to warn you first. It was my fault that you fell down. Fortunately, I was your cushion. If you were injured, how would I compensate you? Your hands are the most precious. If you hurt them, I would be guilty."
He was trying to coax her, but when he said this he was really a little scared and couldn't help but gently rub her hand.
These hands are full of superb medical skills, and if they were to be injured, it would be a great loss for the Zhao Kingdom.
"Did you sprain your fingers or wrist just now?" He gently rubbed the joints of her wrist and pinched each of her fingers.
Fu Zhaoning gradually felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
It was clearly just a hand, but he squeezed it and created a subtle feeling.
"No, to be honest, I usually protect my hands subconsciously." Fu Zhaoning pulled his hand out.
“It should be.”
"Your leg will need to be treated with compresses and acupuncture once a day." Fu Zhaoning hastened to assure him, "But it will heal in three days."
"I trust you."
Xiao Lanyuan didn't insist on this matter anymore and said to her, "Go and take a look at the clothes. They are over there."
He pointed.
Only then did Fu Zhaoning have time to take a look at his secret warehouse.
When she saw this, her eyes widened.
I thought it was just a small secret room, but I didn’t expect it to be so big!
