Facts have proved that I really think too highly of myself.
I thought that Pei Yuan left me here because he had some important task for me to do, or to help him hold down Liu Chi and prevent him from moving around. If that didn't work, he could fiddle with gauze or tidy up the medicine box.
But I never expected that Pei Yuan asked me to stay for the purpose of... helping him boil bath water.
But Pei Yuan's explanation was that if he didn't take a shower, how could he save people? He had traveled all the way from Xia Kingdom and was exhausted mentally and physically, so he needed to relax.
I can understand his physical fatigue, but mentally...could he have been molested on the way here?
Pei Yuan seemed to read my thoughts and sneered: "Aside from your mind being filled with dirty things, can you think of anything else?"
“I haven’t thought of anything else yet!”
"Go and bring Liu Chi over!" Pei Yuan said as he untied his clothes.
My eyes widened: "What are you doing?"
Pei Yuan stopped and looked at me disdainfully: "What do you think I want to do?"
Looking at his forty-year-old face covered with weather, I really couldn't think about what was about to happen in the direction of 'saving people'.
"You're not going yet? What are you doing standing still?" Pei Yuan suddenly yelled when he saw that I wasn't moving.
I was startled and quickly agreed in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"
Liu Chi must have heard it from outside. When I passed by, he sat up from the bed and closed his eyes to gather strength. "Help me pass!" he whispered softly.
"oh!"
I don’t know if it’s because Liuchi is too thin. I thought it would take a lot of effort to get him to the bathing pool, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t feel his weight from here to the bathing pool.
"Go out and close the door!" Pei Yuan ordered.
"Oh!" I put Liuchi down, quickly went out and closed the door, and then came back in!
When he saw me, Pei Yuan was stunned: "I asked you to go out and close the door! Why did you come in again?"
"Don't I have to come in?"
"roll!"
"..."
Bang, the door was slammed shut by Pei Yuan from the inside.
I touched my nose and squatted at the door in despair, waiting.
About two hours later, the door was rudely opened. Pei Yuan was adjusting his belt and walked out. He saw me squatting at the door and looked at me in surprise: "What are you doing?"
I tried my best to ignore his hands arranging his clothes and asked quickly: "How is Liuchi?"
"I'm doing very well!" Liuchi came out, completely different from the way he was dying before.
I was startled and couldn't help but glance at his injured area. Liu Chi looked down at his injured chest and patted it with his hand: "It's healed!"
"So fast?" I was amazed.
Pei Yuan didn't even look at me. He turned to Liu Chi and said, "I hope you won't break your oath!"
Liu Chi lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I haven't forgotten it for a day!"
"That's good!"
The two stopped talking. I quickly went out to inform others.
After Xia Yan came in, he saw that Liuchi was intact and greeted him expressionlessly. Liuchi replied politely and found nothing else to talk about.
Mo Chengjun looked at Pei Yuan and suddenly said: "Mr. Dali Temple, why did you come to Qi suddenly? Aren't you locked in a prison with those ministers?"
I also became curious: "Yes, how did you get out?"
