Chapter 36: Escape I think I saw someone...
The rainwater mixed with mud is surprisingly sweet.
The numb body finally escaped from the nightmare.
Even though she had lost all feeling in her legs and feet, she continued to run.
Jiang Li couldn't believe it, she really... escaped...
Her vision was blurry when she opened her eyes, and a loud buzzing sound filled her ears. Cold sweat mixed with the icy rain, and she shivered uncontrollably.
The house that appeared out of nowhere before my eyes seemed like an illusory dream.
In the house, there will be hot water, warm quilts, and candles...
She wanted to go in.
She looked forward to it, her heart beating faster.
With a thud, she fell to the ground.
Her legs and feet were no longer under her control, and she lay on the ground, reaching out helplessly in that direction.
Just a little bit...
The heavy rain seemed to bury her.
Keep falling.
…
The body wrapped in softness seems to be floating on the clouds.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the long-lost...sunshine?
Jiang Li subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes, and then he realized that he was lying on the bed.
She was startled and quickly sat up and looked around.
A strange house... No, Yun Si.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt so weak that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.
Dry mouth, dizziness, and even difficulty breathing.
For a full half hour, no one else appeared in the room.
She smiled knowingly, and this time it was real.
If it is a dream, never wake up.
She tried her best and finally stood up by holding on to the bed.
But the moment she took her left foot, she fell forward as if she had lost weight.
Strange, why doesn't it hurt?
The imagined pain did not come. She looked up and saw a familiar face.
Her pupils suddenly shrank and her throat felt like it was stuck together.
"Are you awake?" Those eyes were not evasive like when they first met, but were filled with smile and concern.
Jiang Li nodded stiffly: "Why is it you?"
Ximen Yueyao, long time no see.
The woman helped her sit back down on the couch and slowly said, "I saw a dark figure in the rain. I mustered up the courage to approach, and discovered that it was you."
"Thank you for saving me." Jiang Li was not stingy with her thanks. One thing is one thing, since she saved him today, she will definitely repay him in the future.
Ximen Yueyao looked at Jiang Li's clothes: "When I rescued you, you were soaking wet and unconscious, so I took the liberty of wiping your body and changing your clothes..."
"Thanks."
Huh? Ximen Yueyao was taken aback. She didn't expect her to be so nonchalant.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, "When I rescued you, you were scalded to death. It took me a lot of effort to suppress the fever! You should lie down first. You can't overwork yourself until you are fully recovered."
Thanks……
Jiang Li opened her mouth and closed it again, a smile spreading across her face. She had told Ximen Yueyao not to thank him all the time, but today she was thanking him all the time.
"Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I feel dizzy, weak all over, and my limbs ache. Also, I'm hungry."
"Oh!" Ximen Yueyao suddenly came back to her senses, "You were unconscious for two days, I even forgot to feed you..."
As she said that, she went to serve the porridge on the table.
Two days? It's already been two days?
Two days were enough for Yun Si to find him.
Jiang Li asked excitedly: "Is there anyone coming to see me?"
Ximen Yueyao shook her head and handed a bowl of porridge to Jiang Li: "No."
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief again and took the porridge and started eating.
Just as she was relieved, the woman's voice made her despair again: "Actually, I'm not very good at medicine. I don't know if the medicine I gave you will have any other effect..."
"It's not like I'm going to die anyway."
She had already experienced despair, so this was nothing.
Woof woof woof!
There was a sound of dog barking outside the door.
Ximen Yueyao smiled awkwardly: "It's my dog... I'm a little scared to be alone..."
Later, Jiang Li talked to her a lot more.
After leaving Cangshui Village, Ximen Yueyao wandered here and found an ancient book. She had been interested in medicine since she was young, but her family believed that girls should not learn this.
This place is backed by mountains and forests, and is home to many exotic plants.
When she first sought a teacher, the male doctors in the nearby town turned her away when they heard a woman wanted to study medicine. She gritted her teeth and settled down here, spending her days immersed in ancient texts, studying and learning.
Jiang Li was the first person she rescued.
When Ximen Yueyao handed him the bowl of thick, black medicine, Jiang Li hesitated. A bitter smell rushed into his nose...
She raised her eyes to meet those filled with anticipation, and she took it. She swallowed the medicine, swallowing it all... It was so bitter it made her despair. She frowned and gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
Ximen Yueyao was delighted as she took the empty bowl and started to clean it up. "Drink the medicine and get some rest."
After eating and taking medicine today, I've regained a lot of strength. "Okay." Jiang Li agreed, but his eyes fell on the open window.
The open window always made her feel uncomfortable.
While Ximen Yueyao was tidying up, she struggled to get up and walked tremblingly to the window.
But in the darkness outside, a dark shadow flashed by.
Bang!
She quickly closed the window and leaned against the wall with her back.
Palpitations...fear, terror.
Ximen Yueyao noticed her strangeness: "What's wrong with you?"
Her voice was still terrified: "Is there anyone else here besides you? I think I saw someone!"
Ximen Yueyao chuckled: "Don't be afraid, it might be a dog, it always likes to scare people..."
