Chapter 43: I just need some time
Huo Jiulin wanted to go out and look for it again, but found that his left leg was numb, and the short arrow just now was still inserted in it, it was estimated that it was poisonous, he sighed a little helplessly, it seems that he is often so embarrassed in this life, and it is not uncommon for him to be injured.
"You can't walk like that."
A voice suddenly came to mind next to him, Huo Jiulin was startled, and turned his head to see that Lou Yuzhi, who had just left, had actually come back again.
"Why are you back again?"
"I told my father that the jade pendant that my mother left me has fallen here, so I have to come back to get it, and he is waiting for me below."
"Thank you for your help."
"How do you know I'm helping you? Maybe I'm really here to get the medicine? ”
"If you just take the medicine and tell your father directly, you don't need to take such a big risk, and besides, you've been helping me since you brought me here during the day."
Lou Yuzhi smiled, did not admit it but did not refute it, and handed him a pill.
"This is the antidote to the poison on the short arrow in you, you should eat it quickly, the leg will be useless if it is late."
Huo Jiulin swallowed the pill after taking it, and Lou Yuzhi said suspiciously: "If you can't see clearly, you're not afraid that I will harm you?" ”
"If you want to hurt me, just don't say anything, or don't tell me during the day that I'm on the sixth floor, and I'll probably die a few hours of time below under a certain institution."
Lou Yuzhi smiled and said nothing, Huo Jiulin was a little puzzled: "I can't figure it out, why do you want to help me?" ”
"Yes, I said I think we can be friends."
"It doesn't make sense, I want to hear the truth."
"That's true, but there are other reasons, I heard what you said to your brother in the room yesterday, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to see you."
Huo Jiulin thought about it for a while, he was burned in a daze at that time, so he didn't remember much what he said, but it should be related to Shen Yiqing.
"That's it?"
"I never believe that there are sincere feelings in this world, my father used to say that he only loved my mother in this life, my mother thought she was the happiest person in the world at that time, but the life she said was good, but in the end it was just a few years, my father's business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are throwing him into his arms, and his sincerity has dissipated."
"You can't feel that all the feelings in this world are not sincere just because your father is alone."
"At the beginning, my mother and my father's relationship, my grandfather was against them, and my mother fell out with them in order to marry my father, but then my father had a new love, don't start snubbing my mother, gradually she was depressed all day long, and finally died, before she died, she told me that she did not regret it, but I always felt impossible, she was so painful, how could she not regret it."
"And you believe me again?"
"I really don't believe in feelings, so I've been alone all these years, and I even think that I will be alone in this life, but when I heard what you said outside the door that day, I suddenly felt that being loved by a person like this, even if it wasn't for a long time, it should be a happy thing at that time, my mother said no regrets, maybe that's what it means."
Huo Jiulin didn't know what to say, he felt that he didn't seem to be qualified to talk about feelings, because his feelings had already been in shambles.
"My dad is still waiting for me, I can't stay too long and can't take you out, you can go back the way you came when your legs regain sensation."
"But I ......"
"The medicine you want is in the brocade box in your arms."
"Didn't your father say that these three brocade boxes are empty?"
"I'll help you put it in, in the mezzanine."
"Thank you."
"I can only do this, butterfly grass is different from other medicinal materials, it is too precious, even if I ask my father directly for it, he will not give it."
"I understand."
Lou Yuzhi smiled back, and then turned around and left, since the medicine had been obtained, Huo Jiulin didn't stay long, according to the little egret Wu Ye should continue to use the medicine, and after his feet regained consciousness, he took back the hook and claw rope, and then went down the stairs back to the seventh floor, and returned the same way.
After returning to the room, he pulled out a short arrow, bandaged it at will, and then changed his clothes and left the building.
Huo Jiulin was not familiar with Lan Rongcheng, and it took a lot of detours to find Si Yanxiang, after entering from the backyard, he didn't know where Shen Yiqing lived, what he wanted to do most now was to lie down and rest, so he didn't want to waste more time, and was going to grab someone to ask, and just saw that it seemed to be the old bustard who came over at the turn of the corridor.
Since Siyanxiang is the property of the Shen family, then this old bustard should be a member of the Shen family, and when she approached, he dodged and grabbed her neck.
"Ah, the great hero spares his life."
Sister Xiang shouted in a panic, and Huo Jiulin said coldly, "Take me to see Shen Yiqing." ”
"I don't understand what you mean, what Shen Yiqing, we don't have this person!"
"Don't make me say it a second time!"
Huo Jiulin increased the strength in his hand, Sister Xiang glanced at him with some difficulty, and after seeing his appearance clearly, she exclaimed: "It turned out to be you, you are Huo Gongzi?" ”
"Yes."
"Sanshao has been looking for you, you let go first, I'll take you to him."
Huo Jiulin looked at Sister Xiang with some suspicion, and when she saw that her expression really didn't look like she was lying, she let go of her hand, and Sister Xiang touched her neck.
"I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, come with me."
Sister Xiang was walking in front, Huo Jiulin was holding the fence behind and following, if he wasn't at ease, he really wanted to hand over the box to her directly and go back to the inn to rest by himself.
After bypassing a few corridors, the two arrived at a side room, which was far from the front, so it was very quiet, and Sister Xiang knocked on the door and whispered, "Three less." ”
"What?"
"Huo Gongzi is here."
As soon as Sister Xiang finished speaking, the door was opened, the expression on Shen Yiqing's face was a little surprised, and her eyes looked behind Sister Xiang, and it was really Huo Jiulin who she saw.
Did he come because he wasn't angry anymore?
"Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you for something, can I go in and talk about it?"
"Sister Xiang, you go down first."
"Yes."
After Sister Xiang left, Huo Jiulin walked into the room, Shen Yiqing closed the door, Huo Jiulin looked around, and at a glance he could see that the layout here should be according to Shen Yiqing's preferences, and it was not at all obvious that it was in the Qinglou.
"What are you going to tell me?"
Shen Yiqing looked at Huo Jiulin with some expectation, Huo Jiulin turned around and handed him a small brocade box when he heard this, he took it with some doubts, "What is this?" ”
"Butterfly Grass."
Shen Yiqing was taken aback: "Butterfly Ling Grass? How could you have it? ”
"Young Master Lou gave it."
"Such a precious medicinal material, why would Young Master Lou give it to you?"
"Don't ask about this, let's get the doctor first and see if we can make an antidote to save Wuye as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Shen Yiqing suppressed all the doubts in his heart, turned around and opened the door and went out to send someone to find the doctor, Huo Jiulin thought that it was time to leave when the matter was done, but as soon as he moved, he felt dizzy, and his right hand was propped up on the edge of the table before he fell.
It seems that although he has taken the antidote, this body has finally reached its head, and I don't know how long it will take to recover, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of Lanrong City in the next few days.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shen Yiqing was afraid that Huo Jiulin would disappear again after he came back, so he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw him at the door, but when he got closer, he felt that something seemed wrong with him.
"It's fine."
"Does the wound hurt again?"
Huo Jiulin didn't speak, because his consciousness was a little loose, Shen Yiqing saw that he seemed to be shaky, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, only to find that his face was very bad.
"You haven't recovered yet, I'll help you to the bed to rest for a while, and let the doctor take a look at it later."
"I'm fine, you let the doctor take care of Wuye's side first."
"Lan Rong City is not just one doctor."
Shen Yiqing's tone was a little serious, Huo Jiulin didn't have the strength to argue with him, although he wanted to leave early, but it seemed that he didn't have the ability now, so he could only sit on the bed by him.
"Lie down."
Shen Yiqing said and bent down to take off his shoes for him, Huo Jiulin looked at it a little stunned, and felt that the way the two people got along seemed to be more natural than before, was it because he agreed to be friends?
After he lay down, Shen Yiqing went out again, probably asking a few more doctors to come over, and when he came back, he sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, Huo Jiulin just looked at him like that, and when he left Lanrong City, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, so now that he has the opportunity, he will take a look at it.
"Huo Jiulin, about the ...... between us"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Huo Jiulin, but found that Huo Jiulin's eyes were closed, and his breathing was even and long when he listened carefully, thinking that it was because his body was too weak that he fell asleep so quickly?
He looked at him quietly for a while, in fact, he couldn't find any annoying feeling at all now, or in fact, he didn't hate it anymore when he was in Qi Yuecheng, and the reason why he always refused coldly was just that he couldn't pass the level in his heart.
Last night, I said that I wanted to be friends, but after I came back, I had insomnia, and my mind always appeared Huo Jiulin's expression when he heard his words, but he didn't react at the time, and then he thought about it carefully, in fact, that expression represented pain.
He has always felt that it is very awkward to talk about love and marriage between two people, mainly because both of them are big men, but think about it carefully, what about men and women, as long as they find the right person, they can fight hard.
"I just need some time."
Shen Yiqing muttered, last night he carefully sorted out the feelings between the two, in fact, he was almost clear, as long as he was given a little more time to adapt.
If two people really want to be together for a lifetime, it is impossible to always pay which party, so he has to have more time to think about whether to take that step or not, because once he takes it, he will devote himself to it and will not retreat.
Turning his head to look at Huo Jiulin, tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely give the final answer.
