MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 55

  Chapter 55

  Wen Ning felt that Pei You was even more unpredictable than in his previous life. It's been two rounds of killing, killing and saving, what exactly is he trying to do?

  She believed without hesitation that if Pei Youruo really wanted to kill her, she would definitely do it cleanly and neatly, and would not have any pity for her because she was a woman with no strength to restrain her.

  Wen Ning grabbed the sachet at her waist, and tried to distract him again: "Mr. Pei, we are waiting for someone to come here, why don't we go out and have a look?"

  It should have been three or four hours since they fell off the cliff. Could it be that they are hiding too well so people outside can't find them?

   Sure enough, Pei You no longer stared at her with that murderous look, and there was a trace of mockery in her eyes: "Can you go?"

  Wen Ning blinked.

   It doesn't hurt when her legs don't move, but if she is asked to stand up...I'm afraid I can't do it for the time being.

  Pei You definitely doesn't want to carry her or hold her out, let alone he doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to either.

  However, he can go out by himself and bring in reinforcements first...

never mind.

  Wen Ning didn't express this idea. Could it be that a thoughtful person like Pei You couldn't have thought of it?

  He hated her so much all his life, if he was kicked out, he would really ignore her, she would be so miserable every day by herself.

   "Master Pei, I..." Wen Ning touched her stomach, "I'm hungry, aren't you hungry?"

  Wen Ning asked in a low voice.

  She set off before dawn in the morning, ate a vegetarian meal, and was in a hurry to go out. She didn't eat much. She just woke up from hunger.

  Pei You looked over again with cold eyes.

  Wen Ning knew he was annoyed by her, but with his skills, it was easy to go out and catch a rabbit or something. Besides, isn't he hungry...

   "We..." Wen Ning felt guilty when he saw him, "We can just wait..."

   Pei You looked at the corners of her wet eyes, pursed her lips, stood up, and left the cave.

   Sure enough, after a while, he came back with a hare and some firewood.

  Wen Ning saw him set up the fire with familiar movements, then drew out the dagger, and carried the rabbit out, inexplicably recalling the memory of many years ago.

  At that time, Pei You taught her to catch snakes, took her to catch rabbits, and also lit a fire anywhere to roast for her to eat.

   Now that I think about it, it’s actually quite strange. Although he grew up in Lingnan, it’s not uncommon for him to be able to catch a snake, but after all he’s just a scholar, but he has the skills of a quack.

  The taste of the roasted rabbit is very good. After eating it once, she can't forget it. Later, when she went to the mountains to collect herbs, she asked him to roast one to eat whenever she had the chance.

  If counted by her previous life, she hadn't eaten his roasted rabbit for many, many years.

  Pei You took care of the rabbit silently, then came in silently, and put the rabbit on the grill.

  The small cave was soon filled with fragrance, and Wen Ning moved her index finger.

  Pei You just brought back some larger leaves, which seemed to have been cleaned in water. After the rabbit was roasted, he divided the leaves into pieces.

  Wen Ning remembered that he was used to dividing into four pieces, and the two of them had two pieces each, and they just held it and ate it.

  Pei You was indeed divided into four pieces, but after dividing, he glanced at her again, lowered his eyes, and continued to cut the rabbit with the dagger until he cut the rabbit into thumb-sized pieces before taking half to her.

  Still not talking to her, put down the rabbit meat and sit back by the fire, leaning against the cave wall.

  Wen Ning was already so hungry that she couldn't wait, but looking at the small and evenly cut rabbit meat, an unspeakable feeling surged in her heart.

  As she felt last time, perhaps Pei You in this life is really different from the previous life.

  He had clearly divided the rabbit into four pieces just now according to his own habit, but he took a look at her and continued to divide them into smaller pieces. It was because she considered such a large piece, and as a lady, she would dislike it as unsightly to eat, right?

  Wen Ning pursed her lips, picked up small pieces of rabbit meat and ate them.

   It's still the taste in memory.

   After eating a few pieces, she felt less hungry and regained some strength. Seeing that there was no movement from the other side, she asked, "Mr. Pei, don't you want to eat?"

  The two of them happened to be separated by the fire, in fact Wen Ning couldn't see Pei You's face very clearly, but he seemed to be sitting on his back, not sure if it was a fake sleep or really fell asleep.

  Although there is a fire, the food cools down quickly in winter.

  Wen Ning moved a little, and found that the pain in the shoulder blade was no longer so painful, and the right leg could barely move without exerting force.

  She supported the edge of the hole to stand up, and looked over the fire, only to find that Pei You's complexion was abnormally pale, a little paler than when she was under the sun just now.

  She hopped over on one foot and called him tentatively, "Mr. Pei?"

  No response.

  Even if Pei You fell asleep, she was always alert.

  Wen Ning knelt down and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Pei?"

   After taking this shot, I felt my hand was a little sticky, but when I took it off, it turned out to be blood red.

  Wen Ning hurriedly probed his back, only to find that the clothes on his back were soaked in blood, but he was dressed in black, and he didn't stare at him specifically, so he wasn't conspicuous.

   "Pei You?" Wen Ning pushed him, but there was still no response.

  Wen Ning panicked for a moment.

   When she woke up and saw Pei You sleeping, she really thought that there might be more than the obvious injuries on his body. But after he woke up, he moved freely and was about to draw the knife at her. She took it for granted that he was just some insignificant skin trauma.

   No wonder he didn't go out alone to find the rescuers, because he felt that he was seriously injured, and he was afraid that if he didn't find his own people, he couldn't hold on and fainted on the road, right?

  Then he just went out to catch wild rabbits for her, lit a fire and set up a grill, and after roasting the rabbits, he cut them into small pieces for her so meticulously...

  For the first time, Wen Ning felt somewhat involuntarily guilty towards Pei You.

  Although she still thought about killing him when she woke up, but he is not the Pei You of the previous life, he has never done anything, even... a little different from the Pei You of the previous life.

  She actually didn't... want him dead that much.

  If she knew he was so badly injured, she wouldn't have sent him out to find food.

  Wen Ning wiped the blood off her hands with a handkerchief, hesitated for a while, and then stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of his forehead.

   It was really hot.

  She went out this time just to go to the wine shop, and she didn't bring a water bag with her. She looked up and down on Pei You, but there was nothing there.

  Without water and medicine, she couldn't treat his wound rashly.

  Wen Ning thought for a while, took off her fur coat, spread it on the ground, and supported him to lie on his side.

   At any rate, don't lean against the stone wall to press the wound.

  She jumped back to the place where she was sitting just now, took the fur coat that Pei You gave her before, and covered it for him.

   She has a lot of experience in fever. When his hands and feet are cold and his face is pale, the temperature is rising and he will feel cold, which is exactly what he needs to keep warm.

  After finishing all this, she took out the veil from his arms, took her own veil, and tried to limp out.

  Since Pei You was able to wash those few leaves just now, there should be water nearby, and soon his complexion will turn from pale to flushed, and then he needs to cool down.

  Wen Ning walked about half a mile, and saw a small stream, washed and wet both veils, and limped back.

   When I returned to the cave, my back was covered in sweat.

  She sighed, and wrung some water from the veil onto Pei You's lips.

   Cannibalism is short-mouthed and soft-handed. Who made her eat the rabbit he caught for her after being seriously injured?

   Besides, this person, it’s true that she ruined her previous life, and her methods were ruthless, but it’s not that she has nothing to do and must die.

  The Xuanping Rebellion in Jiahe eighteen years, if not for him, Dayin would have been in chaos long ago.

  Wen Ning saw that his complexion was gradually turning red, touched his forehead, and it really got hotter, so she put two handkerchiefs on his forehead in turn.

   But she also knew that this would not be of much use, and it would be better if they were discovered earlier and sent him to the doctor as soon as possible.

  Even though she thought so, her hands were not idle, and she kept changing the veil for him.

  Pei You was in such a chaos of hot and cold, and it was rare for him to enter a dream that truly belonged to him.

   Two more~

   Merry Christmas everyone!
