The sky was bright not far away, with traces of orange appearing, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky.

The people inside and outside the tent stayed up almost all night.

Wen kept guarding the door for a long time, not leaving even an inch, and his eyes were completely green and black.

Lu Xu was in pain all night, and Wen Jiu was in pain all night too.

Lou Wu was afraid that when his elders woke up and saw Miss Wen looking so haggard, he would feel even more uncomfortable.

He took a step forward slightly, cupped his hands and persuaded: "Miss Wen, you can go back and rest first. It's good that we can guard this place."

Wen Jiu shook his head, his voice a little hoarse: "He was injured because of me. Even if I go back, I won't be able to sleep well. Let me stay here with him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man lifted the curtain and walked out.

Wen Jiu quickly stepped forward: "Senior, how is Lu Xu? Is he okay?"

The old man obviously had a lot more patience than when he saved his senior brother. He stood there and talked to Wen Jiu and Lou Wu for a long time. He even explained how much water to add to the medicine and how to boil it.

Although Wen Jiu didn't sleep all night, he still noticed that the witch doctor's attitude was completely different from last time.

Could it be that once he was born, he became familiar twice?
"Can I go in and see him?" Wen Jiu asked tentatively.

"Yes, but fortunately you delivered it in time, he will wake up soon."

Before Wen Jiu could finish his words, he trotted into the tent. When he saw Lu Xu, he suddenly slowed down his steps for fear of disturbing him.

Lu Xu's face was still ugly, as pale as paper, her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead, and her expression was hazy, making her look even more tired.

She took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead bit by bit.

"Lu Xu, you need to get well soon."

After she returned to the inn, she first went to Ye Ziheng's room to take a look. The second senior brother's condition was much better than yesterday. His expression was as usual, and he was waiting to wake up.

As for Lu Xu, the senior said that he arrived more timely than Ye Ziheng, so his injuries were naturally lighter, but he still needed to take a good rest.

Take a good rest and tomorrow will be the sacrificial ceremony.

Wen Jiu thought about it and then lay down on the head of Lu Xu's bed and fell asleep. She really couldn't hold on any longer. Like a chicken pecking at rice, she lost control and fell asleep completely.

Lu Xu was a little dizzy, his whole body was weak, his hands and feet were limp, and it was difficult to clench his fists.

He opened his eyes slightly. The skylight outside was too bright, piercing his eyes. The burning pain all over his body seemed to be still fresh in his memory. He only remembered Wen Jiu holding him at the end, and there was hot liquid falling on him. on his face.

He struggled to sit up from the bed, only to find Wen Jiu lying beside his bed, still holding the quilt on the bed tightly.

Beside the bed, the sleeping girl, Aniang, was breathing evenly. Her long hair hung naturally beside the bed. When she closed her eyes, she was not as agile as before. Instead, she was more tranquil and dignified, making her whole person appear more and more... It softened.

Lu Xu stared at her for a while, until he noticed the black and blue under her eyes. Could it be that she had not slept all night?
The sleeping person frowned slightly, as if he had dreamed of some disturbing scene, which made people want to stretch out their hands to smooth it over.

Lu Xu thought about it and did it.

Just when his hand touched Wen Jiu, the lying man suddenly woke up.

Wen Jiu's eyes gradually became clearer, and his half-asleep eyes were still a little dreamy. When he saw Lu Xu, he was unsure and rubbed his eyes: "Are you awake?"

I think I should be completely awake.

She stretched her arms gently and stood up: "Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

Lu Xu shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry."

Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and realized that Lu Xu had been staring at her.

She subconsciously touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?" After a restless night, she really didn't take good care of herself, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Xu smiled slightly, and the look of him holding himself together made Wen Jiu feel particularly distressed.

"You didn't sleep?"

Wen Jiu sighed: "One and two are lying on the bed. Besides, you were injured because of me. How can you sleep?"

"Lu Xu, don't do this again in the future. If I should bear it, I should bear it myself. If innocent people are hurt, I will feel more uncomfortable than if I was injured."

In this world, no one has to protect anyone, and no one has to sacrifice for anyone.
"Wen Jiu, if we were in different situations, what would you do?"

Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment. Of course he would want to save people, but would he help him block it?
She couldn't tell.

Maybe in a pinch, she would.

Seeing that Wen didn't speak for a long time, Lu Xu changed the subject: "Is Brother Ziheng awake?"

Before Wen Jiu had time to answer, Zhou Lingran's voice suddenly came from the door.

"Senior sister, senior brother is awake."

Wen Jiu was unexpectedly calm. Since Lu Xu could wake up, it was only a matter of time before Ye Ziheng woke up.

She helped Lu Xu put the quilt back on him: "You rest first, the medicine is already brewing. Drink it later and then sleep for a while. I'm sure you will wake up as the high-spirited Jin Yiwei."

Lu Xu nodded and lay back on the bed.

In his mind, he recalled what the witch doctor who saved him said to him just before dawn.

"You should not pretend not to see something you suspect, but go find it out."

"This will comfort your parents."

But his parents are obviously living well in this world. Could this senior have recognized the wrong person?

Also regarded him as a person from Qingyun Mountain?
But why does he always feel that things are not that simple?
Wen Jiu came to Ye Ziheng's room and saw his senior brother leaning on the bed with a pretty good look on his face, and finally put his heart back to where it was before.

"Brother, you finally woke up."

She had been feeling uneasy these past few days. As long as Ye Ziheng didn't wake up, her heart would not let go.

Not only was he afraid that the female ghost would come to his door, but he was also worried that other accidents would happen.

When the response to the ghost hunting order grew, she decided to deal with a scourge first.

If everything is piled on your face, you may not be able to do anything well.

I just didn't expect that even though the female ghost was seriously injured, Lu Xu would get in.

"Why is your face so ugly? But Xiao Shi made you angry?"

Ye Ziheng naturally knew why Wen Jiu looked like this, so he naturally teased her to make her happy.

Wen Jiu pursed his lips and shook his head: "Thanks to Xiao Shi, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

This is the truth. If it weren't for Zhou Mingran, she wouldn't be able to do so many things.

Ye Ziheng had long heard that Wen Jiu had gone to find the witch doctor who saved his life, and he also went to find the female ghost last night.

It turns out that when I was away, my junior sisters and junior brothers had already been on their own.

It's just that in the past, he always thought about them in everything, thinking that they were still young, and as a senior brother, he must protect them well, so he felt that Wen Jiu and Zhou Lingran were still the children who followed him all over the mountains.
