Chapter 1269: Miss Cousin Does Not Want to Be Entrusted to Her (14)
Zhai Yuecheng was very happy to hear Jin Shichu say this. Although he decided to take the imperial examination to gain fame just to marry her, and he would accept her no matter what her personality was, it still gave him a big surprise to know that she was so clear-headed and rational, because in this way, he could look forward to living in harmony with her in the future, instead of having different views and being speechless when they looked into each other's eyes.
"Junior sister, do you like flowers? I have a calla lily, which has recently bloomed. It's bright red and very beautiful." Zhai Yuecheng asked Jin Shichu with a smile in his eyes. Although he was a bachelor until his death in his previous life, he had heard from his teammates who had wives or girlfriends that if they wanted to successfully pursue a girl they liked, they had to learn to be romantic, send flowers and small gifts from time to time, and say some sweet words, and basically they would succeed.
Although Jin Shichu was an ancient girl, she was still essentially a girl. She should be no different from the girls of later generations, right? Zhai Yuecheng thought uncertainly, and then spoke tentatively.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Jin Shichu became interested in his calla lily and asked him happily, "Are there really a lot of flowers? Now is not the peak flowering season."
"Maybe I planted it with more care, so it is blooming well now." Zhai Yuecheng touched his nose and said guiltily. He brought the psychic power from his previous life with him. Although it has not yet reached its peak, it is a piece of cake to mature a pot of flowers.
"Do you want to come and see my place?" Zhai Yuecheng asked Jin Shichu expectantly. He lived in the academy, and the calla lily was naturally planted in his dormitory.
In fact, this season is not the time for all flowers to bloom except for very few flowers such as chrysanthemums. Zhai Yuecheng's pot of blooming calla lily has become a rare bright color in the monotonous student dormitory, making many classmates envious and wanting to ask him for it to enjoy themselves, but Zhai Yuecheng refused to give it up. However, this time facing Jin Shichu, he planned to give the flowers away. If his classmates knew about this, they would definitely scold him for being unfaithful for the sake of beauty or being inhumane to the opposite sex.
Just as Jin Shichu was about to agree, she remembered that his dormitory was full of men, and it would be inconvenient for her, a girl, to show up there. So she could only shake her head at Zhai Yuecheng with regret and said, "No, your room is full of male students, your classmates, so it would be inconvenient for me to go there."
Zhai Yuecheng was a little disappointed when he heard her say she would not go, but after hearing her reasons, he knew he had not considered it carefully, so he quickly made up for it: "Then I will, no, tomorrow, I will bring it here to show you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!" Jin Shichu agreed immediately. At that time, she had no idea that she had been tricked by Zhai Yuecheng into becoming a pariah tomorrow.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Zhai Yuecheng's expression softened.
"By the way, Zhichun and I went to the back mountain today and picked up a lot of wild chestnuts. Do you want some? I'll give some to you. They must be delicious..." Jin Shichu returned the favor. Zhai Yuecheng wanted to let her appreciate the flowers, so she would give him wild chestnuts.
Zhai Yuecheng accepted it without hesitation and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will try the chestnuts you picked up with your own hands."
While Zhai Yuecheng was carefully cultivating his relationship with Jin Shichu, Wei Ning, who was hiding in a cave in the deep mountains and forests, encountered the biggest crisis since his birth.
Jin Shichu drugged him and said that it would make him unconscious for three days. He was indeed unconscious for three full days before he woke up.
He was both lucky and unlucky. He was lucky because during the three days he was unconscious, no large wild beast discovered him, a man who was injured, unconscious and powerless to resist. He was indeed the son of destiny with the aura of the protagonist.
Unfortunately, as soon as he woke up, he encountered a large beast that he had not encountered in the three days he was unconscious - this shows that he does have the aura of a protagonist, but it is not very strong.
So Wei Ning, who had just woken up from a daze after lying down for three days, felt sore all over, hungry and thirsty. His wounds were also inflamed and swollen due to lack of treatment. He also encountered a black bear that was eyeing him covetously.
Wei Ning's originally confused mind became clear as soon as he saw the black bear. He tried to support his body with trembling hands, holding his sword in the other hand, and stood up tremblingly. He staggered again because he had no strength and almost fell. Fortunately, he managed to stand firm by holding on to the wall of the cave.
As soon as he moved, the black bear also started to move, growling, and suddenly pounced on him...
Perhaps it was at the critical moment of life and death that Wei Ning burst out with his greatest potential. Holding the sword and dragging his tired body, he actually fought fiercely with the black bear and was not as vulnerable as expected.
But he was at the end of his strength. Even if he fought the black bear with all his might, he would never be able to kill it. However, he was the protagonist favored by the world consciousness. When the black bear was about to dig out his heart with its claws, he could always "coincidentally" dodge it. When the black bear's sharp teeth were about to bite his neck, he slipped and "just happened" to dodge. The black bear used too much force and could not brake in time, so it crashed into the stone wall of the cave, causing a bloody head injury...
After a stalemate of two quarters of an hour, neither the black bear nor Wei Ning was able to kill the other, but both the black bear and Wei Ning were injured, especially Wei Ning, who was even more seriously injured and almost turned into a bloody man.
As for the black bear, it was not known whether it was frightened by Wei Ning's fearlessness or the domineering aura of the son of destiny. After being injured and seeing that it had no way to kill Wei Ning, it finally gave up the prey and escaped.
Although both sides suffered losses, Wei Ning managed to survive.
But even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be much better now, because he was badly injured, his old wounds were torn, and the bleeding wouldn't stop, to make matters worse, his right arm was broken by a black bear's claw - he could avoid the black bear's heart-gushing, but he couldn't avoid a non-fatal injury like a slap on the arm. After all, even if it was God's will, it couldn't go too far against common sense.
He had other wounds on his body and was covered in blood. After the black bear escaped, he was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground. After resting for a long time, he barely had enough strength to start treating his wounds.
After all, he was a wandering man, and he still had some medicine on him. He had just woken up when he encountered the black bear, and had no time to heal his wounds. Now that the black bear had run away, he finally had time to deal with it.
Wei Ning gritted his teeth, dug out the rotten flesh from the old wound, squeezed out the pus, and applied medicine to the wound. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until all the medicine he had on him was used up. He began to think of a way to go down the mountain to find help. If he didn't go down the mountain, he would die here.
"If someone shows up at this time and helps me, that would be great." Wei Ning hoped in his heart, "When I can leave here alive, I will definitely repay him/her..."
