That shadow seemed to be Mo Weiting. Lu Fei immediately ran out of the room, opened the bead curtain on one side, and ran behind the screen.
A woman's voice came from behind the screen, "Xiao Cui, is that you?"
Lu Fei turned behind the screen and saw a woman soaking in a wooden barrel. When she saw Lu Fei, she was stunned and immediately wanted to scream. Lu Fei hurried forward to cover her mouth and reached out to seal her mute acupoint. The woman could only make "ho ho ho" sounds. Lu Fei reached out to grab a large handful of petals from the side and said, "I'm not a bad person. I'm just temporarily taking refuge in this precious place." Then he jumped into the wooden barrel and dived into the water. Although the barrel was not big, it could barely hold two people. Moreover, there was something added to the water that made it look white.
After jumping into the barrel, Lu Fei reached out to sprinkle a handful of petals on the water. Now there was no trace of him at all. As soon as his hand retracted into the water, a figure flew in from outside the window. Mo Weiting looked around the room. The woman's face was frightened and she screamed twice. At this time, there was the sound of stairs downstairs. The voice of a maid sounded, "What's wrong, Miss? Are you calling me?"
Lu Fei was about to poke his head out of the barrel, but the woman reached out and pressed him down. It turned out that Mo Weiting had come back. After looking at the woman, she turned around and left.
Lu Fei could not bear it anymore. He poked his head out of the barrel and was stunned when he saw the woman's face. He was sure that he had seen her somewhere before. Countless scenes flashed through his mind in a flash, and finally fixed on the beautiful back he saw in the temple that day. Although it was just a quick glance, and Lu Fei didn't even see her face clearly, he recognized that the person in front of him was the woman he saw that day. Her skin was white and her eyebrows were picturesque. She looked quiet and delicate, exuding a quiet and elegant temperament from the inside out, which was fascinating.
The woman blushed and said anxiously, "How long do you want to stay here?"
Lu Fei quickly got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You … you can continue." Just as she was about to walk out of the screen, she quickly retracted her head and went back into the tub. A maidservant came over and said, "Miss, the water is ready. I'll add it for you." After saying that, he poured the boiling water from the pot into the wooden bucket. The location of the water was right on Lu Fei's back. It was so hot that he almost jumped up.
The woman hurriedly said, "Enough, that's enough. Just leave the kettle there." She was really afraid that Lu Fei would suddenly jump up, and then her reputation would be ruined.
The maidservant accepted the order and withdrew. Lu Fei grimaced in pain as he stood up from the tub. Holding his waist, he stepped out of the tub and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. He knelt weakly on the ground. Holding his breath for a long time had caused his internal injuries to flare up again. The woman was shocked and hurriedly asked, "You, are you injured?" She originally thought that after this man avoided trouble, he would quickly leave, but now she felt that if he went out like this, he might be discovered by the maidservants. At that time, there would be no one to blame. She immediately stood up from the pool. Because Lu Fei's back was facing her, she wasn't afraid that he would see her. She reached out and put on a piece of clothing. She went forward and helped Lu Fei to the side of the room and said, "Rest here. Don't make a sound."
Lu Fei fell head first onto the couch. The woman went forward and closed the window. She turned around and closed the door, then went to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.
Lu Fei forced himself to sit up. He took off his wet clothing and looked back at his back. It was scalded and full of blisters. Even moving would cause him pain. However, the most important thing right now was to treat his internal injuries. Thinking that the woman still wanted to sleep, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and used Jiu Yang Shen Gong to treat his injuries. His Jiu Yang Shen Gong could restrain the cold energy and expel the cold energy quickly. However, it would take a while for his meridians to heal.
Halfway through, he felt the woman walk into the room. However, he was at a critical juncture in his treatment, so he ignored her. After a while, he felt a cool sensation on his back. It turned out that the woman had found some ointment for burns and applied it on him. After applying the ointment, she covered him with a blanket and then went to sleep.
In the morning, Lu Fei opened his eyes. His injuries were mostly healed. The rest of the treatment was only a matter of time. He stood up and looked back at the couch. He saw the woman sleeping soundly on her side. Her palm was gently placed on the pillow, and her expression was serene.
Lu Fei smiled and looked at the clothes pole at the side. There was a light green dress on it. It was the same dress that Lu Fei saw the other day. He walked around the room and opened the window a little to look outside. He saw a courtyard in the distance. This was indeed a large mansion. Further away, there was a large garden. He thought to himself that it was fate that had arranged for him to meet this woman. She was so beautiful. Could she be Diao Chan?
Thinking of this, Lu Fei saw a pipa on the table. He thought to himself that she knew how to play the pipa. He wondered how good her zither skills were.
At this moment, the morning sun rose from the east. The room suddenly brightened. Lu Fei looked back at the woman on the couch. After a while, her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes. Seeing that there was no one by the couch, she immediately looked around. She saw Lu Fei leaning against the window With A Smile and looking at her. She immediately blushed and lowered her head, saying, "You're awake."
Lu Fei said, "Thank you for saving my life last night. May I ask for your name so that Lu Fei can repay your kindness in the future?"
The woman said, "Your servant's name is Zou Yuzhi."
Lu Fei thought to himself that she was not Diao Chan. He nodded and said, "Good name." He turned his back to her and looked at the scenery outside the window. He said, "Miss Zou, please get up." He thought to himself, "Who were the beauties with the surname Zou in the Three Kingdoms? He suddenly remembered that Cao Cao forced Zhang Ji to marry his wife, which led to Zhang Xiu's rebellion. It seemed that Zhang Ji's wife was Lady Zou. He thought to himself, "This is Yuzhou, Zhang Ji's territory. How many beauties with the surname Zou are there?"
By this time, Zou Yuzhi had changed her clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair. She usually asked the servants to comb her hair and did not comb her hair often. Her movements looked very stiff. Lu Fei stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."
Before Zou Yuzhi could reply, Lu Fei had already taken the comb. Zou Yuzhi said, "How … how can I do this?"
Lu Fei knew that the distance between men and women in ancient times was very serious. Lu Fei touching someone's hair was already an indecent act. However, it seemed that Zou Yuzhi was not angry. Lu Fei smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager's concubines in the Imperial Palace all have the eunuchs comb their hair. I'm tired and can't order the servants around, so naturally I have to do the combing."
Zou Yuzhi wanted to say, "You're not a eunuch," but felt that this was too rude. She could only keep her mouth shut.
