Chapter 454
Lou Xinyue was also stunned for a moment, obviously she also felt that it was too much of a coincidence.
"After I left the capital, I traveled extensively, seeking out renowned teachers, visiting the south of the Yangtze River, and worshipping at Mount Tai. I've been to many places. Then, I stumbled upon a wanted poster."
"The night you had the accident, I was planning to return to Tongzhou when I heard the sounds of fighting. When I looked over, it turned out to be you."
Hearing this, Guan Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Then it really is fate that brings us together despite the distance."
"Last time you insisted on leaving, and fate tied us together again."
Lou Xinyue immediately said in disgust, "Who's tied to you? When your injuries are healed, get out of here so you don't get in the way."
She really dislikes it.
Guan Ning was not angry, but amused, as if everything came back to her, just like the first time they met after a fight, she also hated herself so much.
"Honestly, do I really dislike you that much?"
Lou Xinyue looked at Guan Ning with a look that said, "You're right," and was about to leave.
Guan Ning curled his lips: "Wait!"
Lou Xinyue turned around.
"Please help me send a letter to Lingjun to report that I'm safe." Guan Ning frowned seriously. He had survived a disaster, so other things could be dealt with later until his injuries healed, but this matter could not be delayed. What he was most worried about now were those who cared about him.
I don’t know how Tang Xiang’er and the others are doing now. I guess they are unable to sleep or eat.
It wasn't an excessive request. Lou Xinyue nodded gently, her voice clear and pleasant, saying, "Okay."
"hold on!"
Lou Xinyue's long legs froze as she reached the door. She turned back angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Can you please finish your words at once?"
"hey-hey."
"Well, I'm thirsty and hungry. Could you please help me? I can't get out of bed..." Guan Ning looked like a scoundrel.
The ice goddess Lou Xinyue was tortured to the point of looking impatient.
"So much to do!"
She quickly poured a glass of water, placed it heavily beside the bed, then turned and left. After a while, smoke rose from outside the bamboo house.
Although he was impatient, at least he was served. Guan Ning was not picky and lay comfortably to recuperate and wait for feeding.
In just a quarter of an hour, two dishes and a soup were served.
It was a simple dish of stir-fried sweet potatoes, pork head, and wild vegetable soup, which was colorful, fragrant, and delicious. Guan Ning was shocked when it was served.
"Did you do this?"
"There may be no one within a ten-mile radius here, what do you think?" Lou Xinyue crossed her arms, looking very cool.
Guan Ning swallowed hard. This really opened his eyes. He didn't expect that this woman could hold the spoon with the same hand that held the sword. She was a typical beautiful cook!
"I suddenly feel that you have the potential to be a good wife and mother."
Lou Xinyue glanced at him coldly and was about to teach him a lesson, but Guan Ning picked up the bowl of rice and gobbled it up.
clap clap clap...
The speed at which the chopsticks threw the rice demonstrated the word "hand speed" to the fullest, which was amazing.
Lou Xinyue was stunned. Is this the reincarnation of a starving ghost?
"Slow down." She frowned, worried that Guan Ning would not be killed but choked to death.
"good to eat!"
Guan Ning's speech was incoherent and he swallowed frantically. He was really hungry. To be more precise, he hadn't eaten for several days. He was chased and killed by the palace guards for a whole day, and then he was in a coma for three days and three nights. He was unable to eat during the whole process and relied entirely on Lou Xinyue to feed him some porridge every day to survive.
He devoured all the dishes in a flash, almost licking the plate, which made Lou Xinyue laugh.
"I also steamed some buns and pumpkins. You can eat them right away these two days."
belch!!
Guan Ning burped and was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? You won't do it for me?"
Lou Xinyue was speechless. It seemed like she had become his maid.
"Don't you want to report that you're safe?"
Guan Ning frowned and glanced outside the house: "It is expected to snow heavily tonight, so we can wait a while, there is no need to rush."
"It's okay. It's just right. I want to go out to pick some herbs and buy some food." Lou Xinyue said.
Guan Ning took a deep breath, endured the severe pain, supported himself on the table with his hands, and stood up, almost falling down.
"What are you doing? Go lie down." Lou Xinyue was quick to support him with one hand.
A refreshing fragrance drifted into Guan Ning's nose. The smell was unique, fragrant but not greasy, mixed with the virgin scent of white roses, which was very pleasant.
He was distracted for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine, not that weak. Be careful when you go out. I'll wait for you to come back."
Lou Xinyue was also a little dazed at this moment. She had been alone for many years, and this was the first time she heard someone tell her to be careful when going out.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before, as if someone was waiting for her to come home.
But her face quickly returned to its cold expression, as if she was ready to keep people at a distance at any time.
"You should rest." After saying that, she quickly turned and left.
Guan Ning watched them leave, and only after they left did he lie back down and check his wounds. In addition to the serious knife wound on his abdomen and the arrow wound on his arm, he also had nine lighter wounds. It was so horrific.
He couldn't help but feel scared. He almost died. Fortunately, Lou Xinyue came, otherwise Sister Yao and the others would have been widows forever.
At this moment, he secretly swore that this kind of situation would never happen again and he must always have a way to retreat.
He slept until the evening of the next day.
After eating the meal that Lou Xinyue had left for him, it was gradually getting dark. The bamboo house, shrouded in snow and darkness, seemed extremely quiet, with only the howling of wind and snow.
Guan Ning really couldn't sleep. If he slept any longer, his waist would break.
It was too boring for him to be alone, and he couldn't sit still even though he was seriously injured, so he simply toured the place with a crutch. This crutch was also left by Lou Xinyue, it was just a piece of wood. She looked cold on the outside, but she was actually very warm on the inside!
The bamboo house was not big and there was not much to see. After a while, Guan Ning walked out.
It was at this time that he was surprised to find that the bamboo house actually had only one room, and apart from that there was a small hut for making fire and cooking, that was all.
"Didn't she sit next to me and watch over me all these days while I was in a coma? She didn't even have a place to sleep?"
For a moment, Guan Ning was deeply moved.
The two met through a fateful encounter, and from a life-and-death struggle to the current situation, it is somewhat sad and surprising.
He walked slowly, looking around.
In the distance, there are green mountains beyond the mountains, pavilions and lakes beyond the water, and heavy snow. The whole yard is surrounded by bamboo forests, which is extremely quiet. Under the snow and moon, it is a stunning view.
"hiss!"
"This place is really nice."
"With Lou Xinyue's ability and beauty, let alone becoming a noble lady, even if she entered the palace, she would probably only be able to become a noble concubine. But she is not interested in this and prefers to travel around the world. Such a woman is so rare."
"If I were old, living in seclusion in a place like this with my wife and children would be a kind of pleasure in life."
He muttered quietly, with longing in the depths of his eyes, but it was something that was simply impossible to accomplish for the time being. The blood feud of Yipintang and the demise of the Guan family were all waiting for him to avenge.
