Chapter 383 I also want to revolve around you
Lin Xiu carefully inspected the cave. Fortunately, it was small and dilapidated without any trace of decay, appearing to be a desolate place where even animals were not present.
Two large willow branches were removed and placed on the ground. Lin Xiu kindly dragged Liu Linzhou onto them, as a way of taking care of the sick man.
The two sat on the ground inside the cave, not caring about their manners or resting, and the silence was eerily quiet.
Liu Linzhou's gaze never left Lin Xiu. After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke: "Miss Lin, why did you save me?"
"Didn't you say you wanted me to save you?" Lin Xiu turned her head, not understanding what was going on, and casually replied.
I can't just blurt out what I'm thinking, can I?
Liu Linzhou was taken aback, his emotions showing, his surprise was undisguised, and his usual impeccable manner and shrewdness were long gone.
He hadn't expected such a simple answer.
“Miss Lin, you are truly kind.” His voice was dry.
Lin Xiu waved her hand: "I wouldn't be so kind. If it really came down to life and death, I would abandon you and run away alone." She wasn't the Virgin Mary, and what did Liu Linzhou mean by that?
No wonder I overthink things. Ever since I met the other person, every single sentence has been interpreted in eight hundred different ways, and I can't afford to be careless in the slightest.
"Pfft."
Liu Linzhou smiled, as if something had melted away in his eyes and heart as he looked at Lin Xiu.
“Okay,” he heard himself say.
"Wait here for me, I'll go get some water." Lin Xiu stood up. A person can go without food, but not without water.
Liu Linzhou stared at her retreating figure for a long time without turning back.
No wonder, no wonder Xie Jin is also swayed by you, so many people are swayed by you.
The stench of blood filled his mouth, and he laughed, a laugh like a wolf eyeing its prey.
How to do it?
Lin Xiu, I also want to revolve around you.
Finding water in the remote mountains is not easy for humans. Lin Xiu made marks for the return journey as she walked, and looked for leaves with water on them from time to time. She finally smiled when she saw a large puddle.
The puddle was large, with small animal footprints nearby, and the water was clear, so it must not have been polluted.
How to bring it back became a problem.
After looking around, I focused my gaze on the large banana leaves.
From the first light of day to the fall of night, everything happened silently.
Liu Linzhou dragged his leg against the stone wall in front of the cave entrance, constantly looking out. His large hand gripping the stone wall turned white from the force.
She hasn't come back yet.
There are many wild animals in the mountains. What if we encounter one? Or perhaps we fall into a dangerous place, get injured, and can't come back?
Or perhaps... they abandoned him!
As dusk settled and the damp, cool air continued to assault the senses, the motionless people seemed to have been turned into statues.
It's getting colder and colder...
Until, footsteps!
Each "da, da, da" sound seemed to pluck at Liu Linzhou's heartstrings, causing his once calm heart to ripple again.
His sore eyes twitched slightly, as if seeing the dawn. He looked out, his body trembling with excitement. The wolf had found its companion.
She's alright, she didn't leave.
The feeling of the unknown overwhelmed me like a tidal wave.
Lin Xiu carried the two small buckets made of leaves and branches that she had painstakingly tied together. She staggered back and saw the figure at the door in the distance. Her tense heart, which had been on the way, finally relaxed.
came back.
Despite the conflict with the other party, it has to be said that being able to escape together in this desolate wilderness is at least a form of companionship.
"Take this quickly." She took two quick steps and handed the small bucket of leaves to Liu Linzhou.
"Ah!" The man snapped out of his daze, a slight smile curving his lips as he accepted the answer.
"The water is raw, not poisonous, barely clean enough to survive," Lin Xiu said, giving the young man in front of her a heads-up, as if he had never experienced the hardships of life.
Actually, she had never drunk pure, natural wild water, but given the current situation, she was already grateful to have any water at all.
Survival is the most important thing!
"You drink first." Liu Linzhou handed Lin Xiu the water, his eyes fixed on her face.
Lin Xiu looked up and suddenly met the man's gray-blue eyes, which had an indescribable strangeness, unlike usual.
Finally, she attributed this to the other party's first-rate ability to assess the situation; after all, she was the only one who managed to escape with him here.
She shook her head and said, "These two cups are for you; I've already drunk them."
Upon hearing this, Liu Linzhou shifted his gaze to her lips, which were no longer dry as before, but rather... rosy, like a ripe peach...
"After we finish drinking, we'll take turns keeping watch, and we'll discuss the next steps tomorrow." Lin Xiu walked around him and returned to sit on the willow branches, leaning against the stone wall, not wanting to say a word or move.
She was exhausted. She had been running for her life day and night without eating or sleeping. Even someone made of iron couldn't withstand that.
Liu Linzhou held the small banana leaf buckets and tilted his head back to drink the two buckets of water in one gulp: "Mmm." He spoke in a low voice, leaning against the door to guard against those outside and also to watch over those inside.
Lin Xiu slept very soundly and didn't even have a dream.
When you're exhausted to the extreme, you have no energy left to think about anything else.
It wasn't until the next morning that he realized he had promised to keep watch but had ended up sleeping all night. He looked at the exhausted patient leaning against the cave entrance, who was still awake, and touched his nose.
"Good morning, Xiuxiu." The man looked up, his eyes bloodshot, his clothes torn and revealing large patches of blood-stained skin. He didn't look crazy or down on his luck, but rather had an indescribable handsome and noble air about him.
What the hell?
"Good morning." Lin Xiu nodded, got up and came to Liu Linzhou's side: "I'm sorry, I didn't wake up last night and made you keep watch all night."
"It's okay, being able to stay here for one night is lucky."
Could Liu Linzhou be possessed? What's so lucky about him?
They're being hunted down!
"Mr. Liu's perspective on issues is indeed different." She twitched her lips.
"Don't you think so?" Liu Linzhou looked closely at the woman in front of him, his smile undiminished.
"Yeah." Lin Xiu nodded immediately: "Pretty unlucky."
Especially since most of her bad luck was brought on by the person in front of her, but on second thought, she was unlucky, while Liu Linzhou was indeed lucky in some ways!
The plan failed, and then she, this 'easy target,' came to save his life.
Thinking about this makes me a little depressed.
But now is not the time to be depressed. After two nights and a day, we must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, whether it is to find a village or a town.
"How is your injury?" She examined Liu Linzhou's wound.
The wound was wrapped in white cloth, and traces of blood could be vaguely seen. Turning to look at Liu Linzhou's leg, the injury was quite severe.
Chuck is really a madman. Judging from the injuries on his legs, it's obvious that someone did it on purpose.
"I'm lucky, I'm fine." Liu Linzhou shook his head, not caring about the pain in his body.
He was lucky not to have bled to death. As long as he was alive, he would repay the humiliation he suffered that day a hundredfold.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he thought of Chuck.
"Mm." Lin Xiu nodded in agreement.
It seems the system's nutrient solution is indeed top-notch; it not only stopped the bleeding but also gave Liu Linzhou some energy.
"What do we do next?" she asked, disoriented.
All around were towering trees, and they all looked the same to me.
"Where did you find the water yesterday?" Liu Linzhou asked.
"A rather large puddle."
After saying this, he fell silent.
