After the man on the ground took off his pants, his two long legs were exposed, and in the firelight, it was clear to see a large bruise on one knee.
The bone inside was broken.
From a bundle, pulled out an old quilt, wrapping it around his body.
The provisions brought into the mountains this time were not plentiful, no pants suitable for him.
The only quilt found in an old dilapidated house was all given up.
On the second day in Yandang Mountain, Lu He discovered an old dilapidated house, seemingly once inhabited by hunters, abandoned for a long time, and thus took a not too big, not too small quilt.
"Eldest Young Master, you’ll have to make do, I know, if it were in the past, if such a quilt covered you, you would have burned it immediately, but now the situation is different, once we find the master and madam, things will improve."
"By the way, for some reason, the official got offended and the Zhao Mansion was raided."
"That big-bearded officer even smashed your precious vase, if you were there, you’d fight him to the death."
"And I secretly saw a pointy-nosed, monkey-cheeked officer steal the Jade Bracelet you were going to give to Miss Sun."
"I didn’t have the guts, there were too many of them, I dared not take those things back."
"Eldest Young Master, your legs can’t move, you tell me, how will I get you back?"
"Also, let me tell you a secret, Da Chun likes Dong Xue in your room, don’t tell him I said so, he’s no longer a servant of the Zhao Mansion, Dong Xue, Xia Tie, and the others have left the mansion too, I don’t know where they’ve gone."
Lu He was really a bit scared alone.
Sleeping nearby, she chattered on and on about many things~
The quilt was given to the Eldest Young Master, and she slept only in her clothes, feeling a bit cold.
Fortunately, there was a fire pit, providing some warmth.
At first, the two slept two feet apart, but in the second half of the night, it was truly cold, and the woman snuggled closer to the man, the two shared the same quilt to sleep.
The next morning, at sunrise, golden light blanketed the entire Yandang Mountain.
Oddly, it wasn’t that cold anymore.
Upon opening her eyes, Lu He was met with two fierce glares.
Every time the Eldest Young Master was about to punish someone, he looked like this, now once again, he seemed restored, no longer the utterly despaired look of yesterday.
Quickly throwing off the quilt, standing up swiftly: "Young Master, it was too cold yesterday for this servant, that’s why it was like this, I’m sorry, sorry—"
Wait a moment.
Lu He thought of something, suddenly changed from the humble demeanor, raised her head and puffed her chest: "Ah, right, I forgot to mention yesterday, the Yue Mansion has dispersed, I redeemed my indenture, I’m no longer your servant, calling you Young Master, saving you, is out of gratitude for past favors, we are equals, understand?"
The two fierce glares not only didn’t disappear, they intensified...
"Fine, since you dislike me, I’ll leave, not caring for you."
The small dark face turned around, walking towards the woods behind.
A decisive posture of this place not keeping her, yet elsewhere willing.
Zhao Jun struggled with a frail body to sit up, watching the figure move into the woods, disappearing from sight.
After a moment of silence, he tried to utter a sound, wanting to speak: "Ah, ah, ah."
To no avail.
He was completely mute, his legs had no sensation at all, extending a slightly dirty hand, he touched the scar on his face, pain overwhelmed him, the wound on his face was deep.
In such a state, what meaning is there to living in this world.
Returning once again to a look of utter despair, lying on the ground awaiting death.
