Chapter 241 Arrangement
Immediately, a hand gently stroked her cheek and helped her tuck the loose hair behind her ears.
"How are you? I hope you're feeling better." Song Ci grabbed his hand and began to take his pulse.
"You're worried about me."
Song Ci was stunned. "So what if it is true?" She answered confidently, making Pei Ji in front of her laugh.
Although his skin was white, it still had some color, making him look completely different from the skeleton lying on the bed.
"I'm worried about you too. Song Ci, I miss you." Pei Ji said with a smile. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Song Ci saw his lips moving up and down, but no sound came out.
Song Ci was overjoyed to see him wake up, and kept responding, "I miss you too, Pei Ji, I miss you!"
"Miss, Miss!" Tian'er's voice was in her ears. She pushed Song Ci a few times, and seeing that she was still not waking up, she pushed her again.
The long eyelashes trembled a few times, and then the eyes struggled to open.
Tian'er: "Just now, I heard the young lady talking nonsense. You have a nightmare."
Thinking about the dream just now, Song Ci's cheeks turned red, and then she looked at the person on the bed. It was still Pei Ji, with his eyes closed. If it weren't for the slightest breath, Song Ci almost thought that this person was dead.
She sighed, "Go get some hot water."
"yes."
Tian'er quickly came in with hot water, and Song Ci still ordered, "Turn around..."
"yes."
Song Ci blushed, took a sip of water, and then fed Pei Ji the water using the same method as last night.
After three sips, she was almost done. She quickly stepped back and moved some distance, wiping the water stains on her lips, and then let Tian'er take it out.
Looking at Pei Ji lying on the bed, she whispered softly, "I know you don't like people touching you, but I have no choice. Don't blame me..."
After she said that, she turned around and went out. She hadn't washed for several days and her body was almost smelly.
Just as she turned around to leave, the person who had been motionless just now moved his fingers slightly and quickly returned to his previous state. However, Song Ci didn't notice any of this at all.
Pei Ji had lost too much blood and needed to replenish his qi and blood. Fortunately, when marching and fighting, they always carried some simple pills and medicinal herbs with them. Song Ci selected some that could be used and had someone wash and boil them, and then fed them to Pei Ji in the same way.
After a while, she was able to keep her face calm and not blush at all like at the beginning.
But every time it ended, she would mutter to herself, "It was forced by the situation, please don't blame me."
On the second day, the aliens, who had experienced a fierce battle, patrolled more frequently.
The streets were deserted, but Ah Lin had managed to fetch Wanxiang and the others before the situation became serious. Wanxiang burst into tears the moment she saw Song Ci. The past two days had been a torment for her. She couldn't rest easy without news of Song Ci. She had lost a bit of weight, and her eyes were covered in dark circles.
"Miss, I'm so scared. I'm afraid something has happened to you. I'm afraid I'll never see you again."
Song Ci patted her back and comforted her in a joking manner, "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm lucky."
"You've cried like a cat!" Tian'er teased, successfully stopping Wanxiang's tears from flowing.
"I'm not a tabby cat! Tian'er, you're so mean."
“Who is the tabby cat?”
The two of them joked with each other for a while, and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed. Zhangtou and his companions were also very tired. The sound of horse hooves kept ringing through the streets outside, and their nerves were always tense. Now that they were here, they could finally relax a little.
In addition, seeing that Song Ci was safe, they felt even more relieved. After feeling relieved, they wanted to sleep. Alin quickly ordered someone to take them downstairs to rest. Fortunately, the house was very large and the foreigners had already searched it and even marked the door. They thought they would not come back in a short time.
Wanxiang walked into the house and saw Pei Ji. She gasped, "How could it be so bad?"
Pei Ji was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, and there was no trace of the cold and aloof nobleman he used to be. No wonder Wanxiang was so surprised.
"He's not doing well, I've taken care of it."
Wanxiang glanced at her worriedly. "Miss, you came here for Master Pei and almost lost your life. It would be a shame if Master Pei couldn't endure it."
"Nonsense!" Song Ci tapped her nose, "Go down and have a rest. You haven't had any rest yet."
Wanxiang didn't refuse. She would have the energy to serve the young lady only after a good rest.
The tranquility in the house was broken at noon the next day.
The soldier on duty today heard the constant sound of footsteps at the door and hurried over to report, "I think the foreigners are getting restless and are searching the entire city for us. I'm afraid they'll find us soon."
Alin nodded, his brows furrowed, a look of confusion on his face.
"The young master is still in a coma, so it's not a good time to leave here."
Not only Pei Ji, many people are in bad condition. Leaving at this moment is not a good decision.
"I think this house is a good place to stay."
A Lin quickly asked, "Miss Song, do you have any ideas?"
"I noticed there was still a lot of oil and firewood in the kitchen today."
"Yes, the owner left in a hurry and naturally didn't take these things with him. The aliens prefer valuable things and fresh meat, and will not take these things. Miss Song mentioned these, but is there any use for them?"
"This house has four corners. Why not put a jar filled with oil in each corner? If foreigners attack, we can pour oil on them and light a fire. This will reduce direct confrontations and be more advantageous for us."
Ah Lin's eyes lit up, "Miss Song, this is a good trick!"
Then, Song Ci gave him another surprise. "The owner of this yard has a lot of bees. At critical moments, he can throw out the beehive. The sting of this kind of bees is poisonous, and people who are stung will feel extremely itchy. Even if one of them doesn't pose a danger, what about hundreds or thousands of them?"
"Miss Song, if you have any other plans, why not tell me all of them?" Alin's admiration for Song Ci has reached an unprecedented level. He was really curious about how Miss Song, a girl who had only lived in the boudoir, knew so much.
"I have a jade pendant here. I don't know how effective it is, but it was given to me by a friend. He said his teacher is highly skilled in martial arts. If we encounter an overwhelming situation, we can send someone to find him. If we can find him, our chances of victory might be better."
"Okay, I'll send the subordinate with the best Qinggong skills to look for him."
"That's all I can think of for now. If I think of anything else, I'll discuss it with you."
Song Ci turned around and went back into the house. One could imagine the pressure in her heart. Although Pei Ji was still unconscious, she told him everything like pouring beans.
"How about this arrangement? I have already thought of all the solutions I can think of here. If you were not unconscious, could you think of other solutions?" She murmured to herself, with some melancholy in her tone, but more of determination.
