The cliff was a hundred meters high, and from the top, one could only see layers of smoke. Even a brave person would feel dizzy if they stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at it. Ordinary people would feel weak in their limbs just by looking at it.
However, at the bottom of the cliff, the scenery was exceptionally good. Because of the lack of people, the bottom of the cliff was covered with rare herbs. Although the place was a little small, it was still very good for recuperating.
Jiujiu found this place a year ago when she went out to pick herbs.
Although ordinary people couldn't go down, Jiujiu easily went down because the rare herbs at the bottom of the cliff were particularly rich. Recently, Jiujiu had nothing to do and wanted to use herbs for various experiments, so she simply built a thatched hut at the bottom of the cliff.
Although it was only a thatched hut, it had everything that should be inside.
Jiujiu built the thatched hut for her own convenience, but now it just so happened that it was convenient for Lin Zeyu.
Jiujiu carried Lin Zeyu on her back and ran towards the cliff with qinggong.
Soon, they reached the edge of the cliff, and Jiujiu jumped down. When they reached the bottom of the cliff, Jiujiu put Lin Zeyu on the bed, then went outside to boil some hot water. Taking off Lin Zeyu's outer clothes, Jiujiu couldn't help but frown when she saw the deep wounds on his body.
Jiujiu sighed, took out a clean cotton cloth and dipped it in hot water, and slowly wiped away the blood on Lin Zeyu's body.
In some places, the blood had already stuck to the clothes, but the wounds had scabbed over with great difficulty. If she forcefully tore them, she was afraid that the wounds would burst open again. Jiujiu could only use a hot towel to dissolve the blood bit by bit, and take off the clothes bit by bit.
After taking off Lin Zeyu's clothes, Jiujiu was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
Once again, she brought over a basin of water and helped Lin Zeyu wipe away the bloodstains on his body. Then, she sprinkled some self-made Jinchuang Ointment on his wound and wrapped it with clean gauze. Finally, she fed Lin Zeyu a medicinal pill. Only then did Jiujiu help Lin Zeyu put on a clean set of clothes and went outside to cook.
Jiujiu gave Lin Zeyu good medicine. Even if he only had one breath left, she could save him. However, Lin Zeyu was seriously injured, so he could only eat ordinary liquid food.
Jiujiu thought for a while and went to catch a wild pheasant. After processing it, she cooked a pot of shredded chicken porridge. She added a little salt and a drop of sesame oil, and it was extraordinarily delicious.
After Jiujiu drank a big bowl of porridge, she went into the house to check on Lin Zeyu.
When Jiujiu walked to the door, Lin Zeyu's breathing suddenly became heavier, and then it became long and soft. It was obvious that he was already awake and pretending to be asleep.
However, Jiujiu could understand.
After Lin Zeyu was seriously injured, he was completely unaware of the situation, and did not know whether Jiujiu was a friend or foe. Moreover, Lin Zeyu was now blind and did not know where he was. Pretending to be asleep was the best solution.
If it was Li Jiu, seeing the man he liked lying on the bed with a haggard face, he would definitely cry and whisper his heartfelt words.
Unfortunately, Jiujiu was not Li Jiu. Although she wanted to fulfill Li Jiu's wish and be together with Lin Zeyu, Jiujiu could not bring herself to confide in a man. Moreover, her feelings were all for her man. Unless Lin Zeyu was her man, it was impossible for her to confide in him.
However, since Lin Zeyu was awake, she could feed him that bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
Jiujiu turned around and left the house.
Hearing Jiujiu's footsteps leaving, Lin Zeyu instantly let out a long sigh of relief.
When he was intercepted and seriously injured on the way back to the capital, Lin Zeyu almost used his last breath to escape. Now, he was seriously injured and blind. When he woke up just now, he could feel that his wounds were bandaged, but now he could not see anything and did not know where he was.
Lin Zeyu had not encountered this situation in the past twenty years.
Moreover, Lin Zeyu was not a simple person. He had also pretended to be in a situation to get information out of people.
Because he had done it before, in order to prevent himself from being tricked, Lin Zeyu felt that pretending to be asleep was the best solution at this time.
Just as Lin Zeyu was thinking, Jiujiu walked in with a bowl of hot and fragrant shredded chicken porridge.
Following Jiujiu's footsteps, Lin Zeyu smelled a tempting fragrance. Even the imperial cuisine he had eaten before did not smell as good as this.
Lin Zeyu had been ambushed in the afternoon. He had struggled with all his might until now and had not eaten a single drop of rice for most of the day. At this moment, when he smelled the tempting fragrance, his stomach let out a rumbling sound.
Hearing the sound from his stomach, Lin Zeyu's cheeks flushed red and his heart was filled with shame and indignation.
Just as Lin Zeyu was thinking about whether he should continue to pretend to be asleep, Jiujiu directly said: "I know you're awake, no need to pretend."
At this moment, Jiujiu was only sixteen years old and her voice was even softer. In the past, when she purposely lowered her voice and pretended to be a man's voice, it was still fine. Now that she had returned to her original voice, her voice was soft and sweet. Hearing it was like a small feather tickling one's heart, making one's heart itch.
Lin Zeyu had originally intended to continue pretending to be asleep, but now that Jiujiu had exposed him, he opened his eyes and pursed his dry and chapped lips. His voice was hoarse as he said: "Many thanks to Miss for saving my life."
Lin Zeyu's appearance was undoubtedly outstanding. Even though his eyes were not focused at this moment due to his blindness, he was still exceptionally handsome.
It was not hard to imagine how magnificent his appearance would be once his eyes recovered.
Moreover, the moment Lin Zeyu opened his eyes, that familiar throbbing caused Jiujiu's originally somewhat conflicted feelings to disappear in an instant.
Jiujiu blinked her eyes and thought for a moment before saying: "How does Young Master plan to repay me for saving your life?"
Jiujiu's straightforward words caused Lin Zeyu to be momentarily stunned.
If a normal person encountered his situation, most people would say 'don't forget to repay me for my kindness'. However, who would have thought that Jiujiu would not follow the routine at all and instead asked him how he would repay her. Lin Zeyu was truly stunned.
He was rich and powerful, but right now, he was only a person who was seriously injured and blind. Moreover, the person who wanted to kill him was a person who stood above everyone else. Even if he wanted to repay Jiujiu, as long as that person was not eliminated, his life and death were uncertain. His repayment would not bring any benefits to Jiujiu. Instead, it would become a disaster.
After thinking about it, Lin Zeyu awkwardly realized that he could not repay Jiujiu.
This was truly awkward.
Lin Zeyu's lips moved. He wanted to say that he would repay Jiujiu in the future, but he could not say when that would be.
In just a moment, Lin Zeyu's face flushed red.
