Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 750: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 11

When Xiao Yunzhou awoke, he was seized by a tearing pain. Every rise and fall of his chest pulled at the wound on his back. The skin on his abdomen felt like it was being run over by a branding iron. Even breathing was excruciatingly painful.

He wanted to move to see what was going on, but he found that his limbs were heavy as if they were filled with lead. A feeling of dizziness crawled up his spine, making his already unclear brain feel dizzy.

How long has it been since I felt this kind of pain?

Forty years ago, he was framed by his political enemies in court and received twenty strokes of the cane, but he had never felt such pain as he did now, to the point where his scalp was numb and he felt dizzy.

Xiao Yunzhou relied on his willpower, which was stronger than others, to calm himself down. He put the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and silently counted to ten before slowly trying to open his eyes.

What caught my eye was the faint candlelight in the dim room. It was not very bright, perhaps it was the worst candle used.

It seemed as if a few rays of light leaked in through the window lattice, allowing him to vaguely see the thatched roof above his head.

He could still smell the scent of mugwort and medicine between his nostrils. The smell made him want to cough, but the pain forced it back into his throat.

Beneath him was a hard bed with the scent of wood, and everything around him was very clean and tidy. His fingertips suddenly pinched his palm, only to find that what he touched was actually a coarse cloth quilt.

Xiao Yunzhou understood that even the lowest-ranking servant in his mansion, or even the wealthy people in the area dozens of miles around, would not choose such a rough quilt.

This must not be near my residence.

Could it be that his enemy had seriously injured him in order to seek revenge, and then abandoned him in such a bitter and cold place?

Xiao Yunzhou frowned. The possibility of such a thing was almost zero. After all, the people guarding him were all secret guards with superb martial arts and absolute loyalty. They would not betray him.

Who else could have taken me out of the mansion without me noticing, right under the noses of the secret guards, and even brought me to such a bitter and cold place?

Just as Xiao Yunzhou was thinking, he was suddenly startled by the palm covering his forehead and his muscles suddenly contracted.

Xiao Yunzhou almost instantly felt the rough calluses on this hand, but the fingertips were unusually warm. They were pressed against his forehead, as if to test the temperature, without any hostility.

He could even smell the scent of mugwort and soil on the other person's cuffs, but the other person's sleeves blocked his view, so he couldn't see whether the person was a man or a woman, old or young.

"You're finally awake, how do you feel?"

The moment he put his hand down, Xiao Yunzhou saw a lively face with healthy honey-colored skin. Even in the dim light, Xiao Yunzhou could clearly see the natural blush on the other person's cheeks, as if kissed by the mountain breeze and sunlight.

The slightly raised cheekbones make the eyes appear even more distinct.

Xiao Yunzhou was even unconsciously attracted by these eyes. They were a pair of extremely bright almond-shaped eyes. The pupils were like obsidian immersed in a clear spring. The tails of the eyes were slightly raised, with a special wildness and strong vitality.

She has a small, upturned nose and natural cherry-pink lips. When she smiles, she seems to have pointed little canine teeth, which adds a bit of childishness.

This is a very outstanding face, but judging by her age, she should not be very old, especially since her thick black hair is casually tied into a ponytail, not making her look like a woman. Perhaps she is not even of age.

Xiao Yunzhou was a little puzzled by this woman who could be seen at first glance as a country girl. He prided himself on being smart, but for a moment he didn't understand what was going on and how such a lively country girl could appear before his eyes.

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't deny that the girl in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, even an inexplicable feeling of palpitations and joy, which made him observe the girl in front of him again without making any expression.

Could it be that someone has used Miao Gu to control himself and influence the court?

"water....."

After all, he didn't sense any hostility in the other party's eyes, so Xiao Yunzhou simply made himself more comfortable first. As long as he was still alive, he could turn defeat into victory in any danger!

However, after saying this, Xiao Yunzhou's hands began to tremble. This voice was not familiar to him...

"Here, let me help you up and drink slowly. I have some pheasant soup stewing in the pot. When you have enough strength, you can drink some."

Miaomiao slowly helped Xiao Yunzhou up from the bed, let him lean on her shoulder, and then handed him a piece of bamboo tube, her fingertips accidentally brushing his lips.

Xiao Yunzhou sat up and finally saw the structure of the house clearly. It should be the home of a hunter in the village, but this was not enough to shock him.

What shocked him the most were his own hands, which were a pair of hands that belonged only to a teenager, with knuckles that had not yet fully grown.

Youthful yet energetic? White hands without many calluses...

Almost instantly, Xiao Yunzhou had a very unreliable guess, but he had to imagine it this way.

"What year is it?"

Xiao Yunzhou interrupted Miaomiao's action of feeding her water, and there was a tremor in his voice that he could even notice.

However, Miaomiao only thought that he was seriously injured. When it comes to her future wallet, Miaomiao will definitely provide good service.

"It's June of the thirty-seventh year of Chen'an. You were probably just seriously injured and unconscious for a few days. I found you on the nearby riverbank."

Thirty-seven years of Chen'an!!

These four words struck Xiao Yunzhou's mind like thunder.

He clearly remembered that he was fourteen years old in the thirty-seventh year of Chen'an. At that time, he had not yet cleared the name of the Xiao family. He was still a cowardly boy who was captured by his enemies and had to hide for two years.

The burning pain from the wound on his back reminded Xiao Yunzhou of the current time.

It was also when he was fourteen years old that he believed a rumor and went to a town called Anping Town to look for his uncle named Zhang. He was forced to a cliff by the enemy and jumped off the cliff to save his life.

At that time, he was indeed rescued by a hunter from the village. She seemed to be her appearance, but the girl's eyes were different from what he remembered. Her original lifeless look and her current look full of vitality left a deep impression on him.

He remembered that the most shabby place he had ever lived was the home his savior had brought him back to. It was bare, and he could even see the sky outside, day or night.

And those black potatoes that were so unpalatable they could only be eaten by gnawing at them as a reminder of my unrequited blood feud...

Now, he needs to think carefully about what happened, or how he should deal with it next.
