Landing on the shore was a dense forest, and there were already a dozen black-clad masked men waiting, each with a gleaming sword in their hands.

In the wild woods, ordinary people have almost no place to put their feet, Li Jinzhi still holds Mei Xue and refuses to let go, and everyone's clothes are already soaked.

The four men in black lifted the simple bamboo sliding pole and ran almost up, and Gao Yuan and the rest of the people vigilantly surrounded them all the way.

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

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

The person carrying the sedan chair was changed in the middle, and about an hour later, Mei Xue and Li Jin disappeared silently into a small town in the night rain.

The small courtyard was pitch black, except for the faint light between the landlords.

As soon as Mei Xue stood on the ground, she hurriedly whispered to Gao Yuan:

"Quick, prepare a charcoal basin and hot water."

Gao Yuan waved his hand at the person behind him, and he himself bent down and hugged Li Jinzhi.

Gao Yuan ran fast, Mei Xue lifted her soaked 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 dark blue.

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

The charcoal basin and hot water were quickly sent in, 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 his clothes first.

Mei Xue glanced at him and said:

"Hurry up and drink, I'll go change my clothes when you're done."

Li Jinzhi smiled bitterly and opened his mouth obediently.

The ground under Mei Xue's feet quickly became wet, and after Li Jinzhi drank more than half a bowl of hot water, Mei Xue went to the wing room to change clothes.

Not surprisingly, Li Jinzhi soon launched a high fever, there was no decoction, and there was no silver needle, Gao Yuan was so anxious that he ran out again in the rain.

Mei Xue pulled up her half-dried hair and bent over to sit on a low stool next to the bed to massage Li Jinzhi.

Although it is known that this method is the least effective, it can only be done as a last resort.

The men's clothes she had changed into were wide and long, and her neck and wrists became more and more pale and slender.

Li Jinzhi's face was already burned red, but he was shivering with cold.

But he didn't forget to comfort Mei Xue and tell her that Ping An and his party were safer with Mr. Song than with them.

The goal of those people was him.

Mei Xue's hand massaged Li Jinzhi's hot and trembling body, and suddenly she couldn't help but have red circles.

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

Mei Xue has always been calm and self-controlled, but her current appearance made Li Jinzhi a little flustered, and 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 at ease......"

Mei Xue looked up at Li Jinzhi, her face was no longer abnormal, but her voice was still slightly hoarse:

"I have an agreement with Mr. Song, my duty is to take care of my son's body, so naturally I should be with me at all times.

Thank you for your care, please don't talk anymore, it's important for you to rest more and conserve your strength. ”

In the past hour, Mei Xue could be sure that her feelings for Li Jinzhi were different.

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 sane and firm at all times.

It is not easy for each other to have that momentary warmth, and it is already a luxury to have that moment of warmth.

Besides, he was already in such a difficult situation, how could she go and burden him again?

Just like Shen Qingyang said, Li Jinzhi has too many things that he can't help himself, and if she wants a stable life and a lifelong couple, if she asks Li Jinzhi, it can only be a heavier burden for him.

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

She wasn't even more sure if she would be willing to stay in this other world when the dust settled.

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

She is a smart woman, and she is 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 God can give him.

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

is too greedy, just passed the life and death barrier, and hopes to have a good woman like her for life.

But she is obviously the person in his dream, when he struggles year after year, his mother always comforts him in his dreams, telling him that he must persist anymore, and his mother said that someone will come to save him.

The first time he saw her, he knew that she was the person his mother said.

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

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

Gao Yuan finally took the medicine back, and the rainstorm was like a note, he protected the medicine in the bamboo umbrella, and he was drenched again.

But Li Jinzhi couldn't drink the medicine at first, so he fed and spit out two sips, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

The high fever still couldn't go away, and he shivered with cold.

Tossed until the afternoon, seeing that Li Jinzhi had fallen into a coma, and he didn't even respond to calling him, Gao Yuan, a man as strong as a bear, was so distressed that he beat his head and cried.

Mei Xue, who had not rested for a day and a night, was not only tired, but also a little sad, she looked at Li Jinzhi who was unconscious on the bed, bit her lip and said to Gao Yuan:

"You go and bring in another bowl of medicine, and you have to let him let the cold out."

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

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

Slowly unbuttoning her coat, Mei Xue sat on the bed, hugged Li Jinzhi and held him in her arms, and pulled up the quilt to cover him, leaving only her head and face exposed outside the quilt.

Mei Xue is very aware of Li Jinzhi's condition, his illness this time is not very serious, he is just suddenly in a low mood, and his will to survive has fallen to the lowest point.

He needed medicine, but even more so comfort.

His loneliness and hardship are surpassed, and there are few people in this world who can surpass them.

And he is just a young man who has not yet reached the age of twenty.

He was so hot at the moment that he kept shaking, like a poor and helpless child, he hid his face in Mei Xue's arms, and his hands were tightly wrapped around her arms and refused to let go.

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

But then, he began to cry, a big man, and instantly cried silently.

Mei Xue smiled bitterly, motioned for Gao Yuan to bring the medicine bowl to her, and then lowered her head and took a sip in her mouth.

Gao Yuan held the medicine bowl and cried until he choked, and when Mei Xue finished feeding Li Jinzhi with most of the bowl of medicine, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Mei Xue a few times.

Mei Xue still hugged Li Jinzhi, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said to Gao Yuan in a calm voice:

"Don't tell anyone about today's events, including the eldest prince."

Gao Yuan choked and nodded again and again, Mei Xue hugged Li Jinzhi and closed her eyes on the soft pillow.
