The two men got off the carriage and the driver drove the carriage back to the city.
Shen Huan held Shen Shijiu's sleeve, and the two walked slowly on the road, passed through the smoke-filled woods, paddled the boat across the river, and entered the depths of the mountains and forests.
The moonlight cast a brilliant glow, and the boat swayed and came to a stop. In front of them was the bamboo house where the master and disciple lived.
Shen Huan got off the boat first, and then went to help Shen Shijiu.
"Master, I can come down by myself."
As Shen Shijiu spoke, he still obediently put his hand into Shen Huan's hand and let Shen Huan help him down.
Shen Huan is now extremely careful about Shen Jiu's every move. No one knows Shen Jiu's physical condition better than Shen Huan.
When he was picked up that year, he was only breathing his last breath and his health was very poor. Even if he was rescued, he would not live long.
Shen Huan put in a lot of effort to recover to his current state where he can run and jump, cry and laugh, and is bright and splendid.
Of course, you have to be careful. Shen Huan never wants to see him look so lifeless, as if he won't be able to open his eyes again in the next moment.
Facing the little life in his belly, Shen Huan had a premonition that whether he aborted the baby or gave birth to it, his little disciple would lose half his life.
The two were walking slowly towards the bamboo house, but Shen Shijiu suddenly stopped moving.
"Master, look, is there a person over there?"
Shen Huan looked in the direction where Shen Shijiu pointed, and saw a pair of long legs exposed in the bushes not far away, as if it was really a person.
So she has nothing else to do and is just picking up people here, right
Shen Shijiu pulled Shen Huan's sleeve, "Master, he seems to have fainted, shall we go check on him?"
"Let's go, be careful."
Shen Shijiu walked in front, moving carefully in that direction.
Shen Huan followed the little disciple, getting closer and closer to the person lying in the bushes. Shen Huan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't know why, but she suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Brother Pei!”
Shen Shijiu's exclamation sounded, and Shen Huan thought to himself, it's over, it's over, there's no way to escape it no matter how hard I try, what kind of fate is this that can't be severed
Shen Shijiu pushed aside the waist-high weeds, and the face of the person lying in the grass was revealed. Who else could it be but Pei Zheng
But along with it came a strong smell of blood. Even the weeds next to it were stained with thick blood, looking like a large black area under the moonlight.
"Brother Pei, Brother Pei, how are you? Can you hear me?"
Shen Shijiu bent down, hugged Pei Zheng's arm and shook it, tears already falling down his face. He was so flustered, scared and worried that he even forgot to take Pei Zheng's pulse first.
Pei Zheng's face was pale and his lips were stained red with blood. His black robe did not look bloody, but it was actually soaked with blood.
Shen Huan didn't even need to take Pei Zheng's pulse. She could tell how much blood Pei Zheng had lost just by smelling the strong smell of blood.
It was now late at night and it was getting colder outside, but the blood was still warm, indicating that Pei Zheng had just arrived here.
Shen Huan glanced around casually, but there were no bloodstains on the nearby grass. If he had walked here, he would definitely have left traces nearby.
Could it be that Pei Zheng had intentionally concealed the traces? How could he be so meticulous when he was so seriously injured and unconscious
Shen Shijiu tried hard to help Pei Zheng up, but he was too weak and could only lift up the upper half of Pei Zheng's body.
"Master" Shen Shijiu's eyes were blurred with tears. He looked up at Shen Huan with a pleading look.
Shen Huan naturally didn't want to have anything to do with Pei Zheng anymore, but she did not ignore a single word Jiang Yubai said today.
What does my little disciple need? Is he happy now
Shen Huan still thought about it for a long time.
Resigned to his fate, Shen Huan bent down in front of Pei Zheng and patted himself on the back, "Little disciple, put the man up."
Shen Shijiu quickly helped Pei Zheng to lean on Shen Huan's back. The master and disciple took a lot of effort to get Pei Zheng to lie on Shen Huan's back, and his feet were still dragging on the ground.
Shen Huan took a few deep breaths. This guy was really heavy. I don’t know why he grew so tall.
Shen Huan took a rest after every step before he and Shen Shijiu brought Pei Zheng back to the bamboo house.
Shen Huan's clothes were completely stained with blood.
"My little disciple, go get the needle and thread, ointment, gauze, hot water, and a handkerchief. Go quickly!"
Shen Huan carried Pei Zheng to Shen Shijiu's room, then put him in the bed, took out a pair of scissors, and neatly cut open the tattered clothes on Pei Zheng.
The horrific scars beneath the robe were revealed. With so many wounds, an ordinary person would have probably died from the pain and would not have survived to come here.
What's more, Shen Huan still didn't know how Pei Zheng got into Guigu. If Pei Zheng could get in, could others also get in
Shen Huan didn't have time to think about these things now. Shen Shijiu brought something and Shen Huan quickly started to treat Pei Zheng.
Several deep wounds had to be stitched up, otherwise they would not heal on their own.
This will only make the wound more painful than when it was formed, as the needle needs to keep piercing the skin.
If you want to talk about it, getting a tattoo on your body is much more painful, even though both require a needle to pierce the skin.
After sewing, Pei Zheng was still unconscious, but a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
Shen Huan thought that he would be awakened by the pain, but he didn't expect that this man could endure the pain so well.
Shen Huan's hands were covered in blood. She washed them with hot water and said to Shen Shijiu, "My little disciple, go and apply medicine to him first. Use the ointment that won't leave scars. Apply more and it will heal faster."
Shen Shijiu went to find the ointment. His fingers were trembling as he finally twisted it open. He put a little on his fingertips, then lay down beside the bed to apply the ointment to Pei Zheng.
The wounds were hideous and seemed to be telling how painful and tragic they were. Shen Shijiu's fingertips were trembling and he couldn't aim at the wounds.
He was so anxious that tears started to fall from his eyes. Some of the tears fell on Pei Zheng's arm, which made him move because of the burning sensation.
Shen Shijiu wiped away his tears and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, apply medicine to Brother Pei first, otherwise the wound will not heal. Don't cry first, you
Be more sensible"
But no matter how much he was comforted, Shen Shijiu just couldn't bear to see those wounds. He would cry when he saw them.
After washing his hands, Shen Huan walked to the bedside and saw that his little disciple had not even started to apply any ointment. Instead, he was lying on the bed, almost crying and gasping for breath.
Seeing him so sad, Shen Huan felt so distressed that he couldn't bear to say anything harsh.
"Alright, alright, you're crying like a baby. It's okay. Master is here and will not let anything happen to your brother Pei. My little disciple, please stop crying or your eyes will be damaged."
Shen Shijiu sobbed twice, "Master, Master, I don't want to cry, but my heart hurts so much that I want to cry. I can't
I can't help it"
Shen Huan patted his little head, "Okay, Master got it. Can you get up and sit over there? Master will apply the medicine."
Shen Huan helped Shen Shijiu up, "Go, sit over there, it won't hurt if you don't look."
Shen Shijiu stood up obediently and sat down farther away from the bed. From this angle, he couldn't see the injuries on Pei Zheng's body, he could only see his pale cheeks.
Shen Shijiu clenched his hands and said silently in his heart, Brother Pei, you must not be in trouble, you must wake up quickly, please, wake up quickly, I, I miss you
Shen Huan treated the wounds very quickly. He quickly applied ointment on Pei Zheng and bandaged all the wounds with gauze.
She had spent a lot of effort in preparing this ointment, and had never used it on anyone else except her little disciple.
At first, the little disciple was also covered with terrible scars, but now he has recovered as before.
After treating the wound, Shen Huan threw away the rags on Pei Zheng's body.
Shen Huan rummaged through the bamboo house, looking for a robe for Pei Zheng to wear. Unfortunately, he only found a piece of clothing that was a bit old and the length was just right for Pei Zheng.
After taking it to Pei Zheng and placing it beside the bed, Shen Huan said to Shen Shijiu, "My little disciple, come with me to my room. You sleep in my bed, and I can sleep on the small bamboo bed."
For Pei Zheng, Shen Huan carried the body on his back, treated his injuries, and now even had to give up his bed.
Shen Shijiu covered Pei Zheng with a quilt and sat beside the bed, unwilling to leave.
"Master, I'm not sleepy. You go to sleep first. I want to watch over Brother Pei. I'm afraid he will wake up and get scared when he can't see anyone."
Shen Huan sighed, "My little disciple, don't worry about this. Master Pei won't be afraid. We should be afraid. What if he thinks we are bad guys and gets up in the middle of the night to kill us?"
"No, Master, don't worry." Shen Shijiu said seriously, "Brother Pei will recognize me."
Shen Huan pinched his cheek and said, "Don't forget that you are wearing a mask now. It's dark at night, so it's normal that I can't recognize you."
Shen Shijiu was convinced, "Brother Pei can recognize me, I know it."
Shen Huan yawned loudly. The stitching of the wound just now actually took a lot of her energy. She said to Shen Shijiu, "Well, I'll go back to sleep first. My little disciple, you should also go to sleep quickly. Don't stay up too late, okay?"
"Got it, Master."
Shen Huan yawned and returned to his room. He really moved out the small bamboo bed, tidied it up casually, and fell asleep on it.
Shen Shijiu lay on the edge of the bed, staring at the ** person without blinking.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Pei Zheng's cheeks seemed to be thinner and straighter. Although his eyes were closed, there was still sharpness between his eyebrows. When those eyes looked at people coldly, they were so cold and gloomy that they could freeze people to death.
But only Shen Shijiu knew that when those eyes were filled with gentle stars, they could make people drown in them uncontrollably.
Now his eyes were tightly closed, and he looked lifeless. Shen Shijiu could only watch Pei Zheng from the side, with no other options.
"Brother Pei." Shen Shijiu held Pei Zheng's slightly cold hand and warmed it with his own warm little hand.
"Why are you still sleeping? Is it because it's late that you don't want to wake up? Then can you just wake up for a little while and let me see you before you go back to sleep, okay? Can't you open your eyes and look at me? Don't you miss me at all?"
As he spoke, the little guy pursed his lips in grievance, "But, I really miss you."
