she has golden eyes

Chapter 21 Rainy Night
There is a dense forest at the shore, and there are already a dozen black-clothed masked men waiting, each holding a gleaming sword in his hand.

In the wild woods, there were almost no places for ordinary people to set foot. Li Jinzhi still held Mei Xue and refused to let go, and everyone's clothes were soaked.

With a simple bamboo pole, four men in black lifted it up and ran almost flying. Gao Yuan and the rest of the people walked around vigilantly all the way.

It was more than two miles away from where they disembarked, but the shouts of killing gradually became louder and louder.

Mei Xue could feel that Li Jinzhi's arms around her were getting colder and stiffer, and she could even hear the changes in his heartbeat.

In the middle, the person who carried the sedan chair was changed. About an hour later, Mei Xue and Li Jin's group quietly disappeared into a small town in the night rain.

The small courtyard was pitch black, except for a faint light in the landlord's room.

As soon as Mei Xue stood on the ground, she hurriedly ordered Gao Yuan in a low voice:
"Quick, prepare the charcoal basin and hot water."

Gao Yuan waved his hands to the people behind, while he bent down to hug Li Jinzhi himself.

Gao Yuan ran fast, Mei Xue lifted her wet skirt and ran behind.

The night rain in early summer was not very cold, but it was different for Li Jinzhi.

His face was pale and his lips were already black and blue.

Gao Yuan quickly took off Li Jinzhi's clothes, and wrapped him in a thick quilt. Mei Xue took a piece of dry clothes and quickly wiped Li Jinzhi's hair half dry.

The charcoal basin and hot water were brought in quickly, Gao Yuan carefully dried Li Jinzhi's hair, and Mei Xue fed Li Jinzhi water with a spoon.

Li Jinzhi barely maintained a smile on his face, he could no longer speak coherently, but he still asked Mei Xue to change clothes first.

Mei Xue glanced at him and said:

"Hurry up and drink, I'll go change after you finish drinking."

Li Jinzhi smiled wryly, and opened his mouth obediently.

The ground under Mei Xue's feet was soon wet. After Li Jinzhi finished drinking half a bowl of hot water, Mei Xue went to the wing room to change clothes.

Unsurprisingly, Li Jinzhi developed a high fever very quickly. Without decoction or silver needles, Gao Yuan was so anxious that he ran out again in the rain.

Mei Xue rolled up her half-dry hair, bent over and sat on a low stool by the bed to give Li Jinzhi a massage.

Although I know that this method has the lowest effect, I can only do it as a last resort.

The temporary men's clothes were wide and long, making her neck and wrists pale and slender.

Li Jinzhi's face was flushed with heat, but he was shivering from the cold.

But he still did not forget to comfort Mei Xue, telling her that Ping An and his party were safer with Mr. Song than with them.

Those people were targeting him.

Mei Xue's hands massaged Li Jinzhi's hot and trembling body, and suddenly she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

For Li Jinzhi's difficulties, but also for his unknown future.

Mei Xue has always been calm and self-sufficient, but Li Jinzhi was a little flustered by his current appearance. He hurriedly raised his head and explained to Mei Xue:

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you with me, I just, I just... I just don't feel relieved..."

Mei Xue looked up at Li Jinzhi, her expression was normal, her voice was slightly hoarse:

"Mr. Song and I have an agreement that my duty is to take good care of your son's health, so naturally I should accompany you at all times.

Thank you son for your care just now, please don't talk anymore, it is very important for you to rest and conserve your energy. "

In the hour that just passed, Mei Xue was sure that she felt differently towards Li Jinzhi.

But she can't, and she doesn't want to expect tenderness at such a moment.

Only in this way can she have the confidence to keep herself rational and firm at all times.

It is very difficult for each other, and it is a luxury to have that moment of warmth.

What's more, he is already in such a difficult situation, how can she add burden to him?

Just like what Shen Qingyang said, Li Jinzhi has too much involuntary control, and if she asks Li Jinzhi for the stable life she wants and the desire to be a couple for the rest of her life, it will only be a heavier burden on him.

What's more, she wasn't even sure if she had fully accepted the world she was living in now.

She was even more unsure if she would still be willing to stay in this other world when everything was settled.

The light in Li Jinzhi's eyes gradually dissipated, and he slowly lay back on the pillow, closing his eyes silently.

She is a smart woman, and even more so, an unusually rational woman, so she can naturally see his situation clearly.

How could he be willing to accompany him on that difficult and dangerous road?

Being able to meet and help each other is probably the best gift from God to him.

She should like Shen Qingyang, after all, they met earlier, after all, he was the first person she asked about at the moment of life and death.

It was because I was too greedy, I had just passed the test of life and death, and I expected to have a woman as good as her to accompany me for the rest of my life.

But she was clearly the person in his dreams. When he was struggling year after year, his mother always comforted him in his dreams, telling him to persevere, and her mother said that someone would come to save him.

The first time he saw her, he knew she was the one his mother had mentioned.

Li Jinzhi, who was always smiling, didn't know that he fell into a coma with tears in his eyes, and he didn't even know that when Mei Xue pulled her hand away from him, the tears in the corners of her eyes finally slipped quietly.

The sky gradually opened up, and the men in black from last night had already disappeared without a trace, and the small courtyard was quiet, no different from ordinary farmers.

Gao Yuan finally came back with the medicine. It was raining like a torrential rain. He protected the medicine in a bamboo umbrella and drenched himself once again.

But Li Jinzhi couldn't drink the medicine at first, and he spit out two mouthfuls after feeding him, and his whole body and face were covered with cold sweat.

The high fever still persisted, and his whole body was shivering from the cold.

After tossing until noon, seeing that Li Jinzhi had fallen into a coma and didn't even respond to calling him, Gao Yuan, a man as strong as a bear, beat his head and cried loudly in distress.

Mei Xue, who hadn't rested all day and night, was tired and slightly sad. She looked at Li Jinzhi who was unconscious on the bed, bit her lips and said to Gao Yuan:
"You go to heat up another bowl of medicine and bring it in, you have to let him vent the cold."

Gao Yuan was stunned, but he had always believed in Mei Xue's words, so he immediately rushed out.

Mei Xue leaned over, took off all the sweat-soaked clothes on Li Jinzhi's body, and put on a clean white undershirt for him.

Slowly loosening her coat, Mei Xue sat on the bed, hugged Li Jinzhi and hugged him in her arms, then pulled up the quilt and covered him, leaving only her head and face exposed outside the quilt.

Mei Xue knew Li Jinzhi's condition very well. His illness this time was not very serious. He just suddenly felt depressed, and his will to survive fell to the lowest point.

He needs medicine, but more comfort.

His loneliness and hardship, in this world, few people can surpass it.

And he is just a young man under the age of 20.

At this moment, he was so hot that he couldn't stop shaking, like a poor and helpless child, he hid his face in Mei Xue's arms, his hands tightly wrapped around her arms and refused to let go.

When Gao Yuan entered the room, he saw Mei Xue sitting on the bed with her arms around Li Jinzhi with a natural expression, and was so shocked that he almost dropped the bowl in his hand.

But immediately, he started to cry, a big man, crying so hard that he couldn't make a sound in an instant.

Mei Xue smiled wryly, motioned Gao Yuan to bring the medicine bowl in front of her, then lowered her head and took a sip and put it in her mouth.

Gao Yuan held up the medicine bowl and cried till he was choked up. When Mei Xue finished feeding most of the bowl of medicine to Li Jinzhi, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Mei Xue a few times with great force.

Mei Xue still hugged Li Jinzhi, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Gao Yuan in a calm voice:
"Don't tell anyone what happened today, including the eldest son."

Gao Yuan choked with sobs and nodded again and again, Mei Xue hugged Li Jinzhi halfway against the soft pillow and closed her eyes.
