HCB Chapter 194 Ji Wanxing
Chapter 194 Ji Wanxing
Lin Shu stood still and looked around.
His gaze then shifted to A-Zhu, who was squatting nearby looking guilty, and then back to Ji Wan, who was lying on the grass, her life hanging in the balance, and the wooden stick lying quietly next to her. He fell silent for a moment.
When Azhu saw Lin Shu looking at her, she immediately looked up and gave her a silly, ingratiating smile. But when she saw Ji Wan, she lowered her head guiltily and kept pulling at the weeds on the ground with her hands...
Lin Shu: "..."
Helpless, Lin Shu approached Ji Wan and gave her a quick check-up. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there was nothing seriously wrong, except for a few obvious bruises on the back of her neck…
Looking at the injury on the back of her neck, Lin Shu's lips twitched. She had a rough idea of what was going on. No wonder she hadn't woken up for so long. She must have been knocked unconscious every time she woke up.
As for the person who knocked her unconscious—
Lin Shu silently turned her head and glanced at Azhu, who was squatting on the ground pulling weeds!
Although it is unknown why A-Zhu knocked Ji-Wan unconscious, it is likely that he was the one who pulled Ji-Wan out of the water.
Lin Shu shook her head, took out the piece of clothing she had torn off last night from her bosom, got up and walked towards the pool, intending to wash it.
A-Zhu appeared to be looking down, but in reality, she was constantly watching Lin Shu's movements through the messy hair blocking her eyes.
Seeing Lin Shu heading towards the water, he quickly ran over, spread his arms to block her way, and shook his head, saying, "Sister, don't go...! It's dangerous!"
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. This person couldn't even speak clearly last night, but today he's so fluent?
"It's alright, I'll just wash up." Lin Shu felt sticky all over. Although she had just come out of the water yesterday, the clothes had been sticking to her body, which was inevitably uncomfortable.
After saying that, she walked around Ah Zhu, squatted down in the shallow water, soaked the small piece of cloth, and wiped all the washable parts.
She originally intended to take a shower and change her clothes, but considering that there were men present, she decided to just do a quick shower first and come back to shower later in the evening.
A-Zhu remained crouched beside Lin Shu, her eyes cautiously fixed on her, as if afraid she might fall into the water.
After Lin Shu finished washing up, she turned to look at A Zhu's messy hair, pursed her lips and said, "You should wash up too."
Upon hearing this, A-Zhu blinked and then nodded.
Then, he put his hand into the water and rubbed it vigorously with his good hand. He quickly pulled it back and wiped it on his dirty clothes. After drying it, he showed it to Lin Shu, looking like he wanted praise.
Lin Shu: "..." No wonder only her hands were clean!
Finally, Lin Shu had no choice but to resign herself to teaching him how to wash. Seeing him nod seriously, she got up, pointed to a huge rock by the pool, and said, "You wash, I'll watch over there for you."
Upon hearing this, Azhu nodded, but her eyes remained fixed on the wet cloth in Lin Shu's hand.
Lin Shu tentatively handed it to him, and he happily took it, gave Lin Shu a silly smile, and jumped into the pool.
Lin Shu turned around, picked up Ji Wan, and went behind the boulder to wait.
At the same time, the sound of dripping water continued to rise...
Half an hour later.
Ji Wan leaned against the boulder, groggily opening her eyes. A dense forest came into view. She pinched her thigh, grumbling in pain:
"Hiss~... I'm still alive, I wasn't dreaming! I'm so lucky! Sigh! I wonder how Lin Shu is doing?"
"not dead."
As soon as Ji Wan finished speaking, she heard a familiar yet cold voice from her left, which startled her.
"Lin Shu! That's great... Ouch... That really hurt!"
Ji Wan turned her head sharply, and just as she raised her hand to hug Lin Shu, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. She touched it, brushed her hair aside, and turned her back to Lin Shu, saying:
"Hiss... Lin Shu, please take a look at me...!"
Lin Shu answered seriously, "It must have hit its head when it fell."
"Really?" Ji Wan turned around, scratched her head, and muttered to herself.
At this moment, Ah Zhu, who had washed up, also came over.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ji Wan's eyes were practically overflowing with amazement, and even Lin Shu, who had met him before, was somewhat surprised.
Ah Zhu was soaking wet, but thankfully the colors of her clothes were still discernible. Her skin was fair, and her wet hair was draped behind her head, revealing her innocent, almond-shaped eyes and small face...
Seeing Lin Shu looking at him, he immediately grinned and gave a silly smile. It was then that Lin Shu noticed he had two shallow dimples, which, combined with his little tiger teeth, made him look even more innocent and shy...
"My goodness!" Ji Wan looked at the handsome young man A Zhu who suddenly appeared, her eyes filled with amazement, and she was about to say a few words of praise.
Suddenly, the other person squatted down in front of Lin Shu like a dog, tilted their head and thought for a moment, then pulled up their sleeve and presented the increasingly pale and gruesome wound on their arm to Lin Shu, blinking their eyes pitifully:
"Sister, it hurts."
Lin Shu knew he wanted to apply medicine, but his clothes were still wet, so she thought for a moment and said to him, "Let's go back first."
Azhu nodded obediently.
Ji Wan glanced at Lin Shu, then at the seemingly abnormal man, leaned closer to Lin Shu, and whispered, "Lin Shu, is he an idiot?"
As she spoke, Ji Wan raised her finger and pointed to her head.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu looked at her with a complicated expression. Ji Wan was a little confused. When she turned around, she found A Zhu baring her teeth and looking at her fiercely. Only then did she realize that she had been overheard talking badly about someone, so she scratched her head awkwardly...
At Ah Zhu's 'camp'.
Ji Wan sat by the rising fire, shivering and huddled against herself, utterly dejected. A Zhu, on the other hand, wore the outer garment that Lin Shu had used to cushion Ji Wan's fall the night before, her disgust barely concealed...
Ji Wan (suppressing the urge to curse): "..."
"Gulu gulu..."
A voice rang out, drawing the attention of Lin Shu and A Zhu. Ji Wan's not-so-fair face flushed a dark red, and she gave an awkward, dry laugh: "Haha! I haven't eaten for almost two days!"
Lin Shu threw the firewood she was poking at the fire into the woods, clapped her hands, and prepared to get up to find something to eat. Just then, she saw A-Zhu stand up abruptly, glare at Ji Wan, and quickly disappear into the woods.
A moment later, he returned carrying a pheasant, handed it to Lin Shu, and boasted, "Sister, look, a big bird...!"
Before Lin Shu could react, Ji Wan rolled over and stood up, snatched the pheasant from A Zhu's hand, and said with shining eyes:
"Haha! It's a pheasant! You little fool, you're pretty good! I'll roast it..."
With that, Ji Wan quickly disappeared from sight, heading towards the edge of the pool...
When Azhu saw that her things had been taken away, she immediately squatted down, adopting the posture of a wild beast poised to pounce, baring her teeth and staring at Ji Wan's departing figure, as if she were about to tear her apart at any moment.
"Snoring..." Ah Zhu's face revealed a fierce expression, and a threatening growl came from his neck.
Seeing him about to push off and chase after Ji Wan, Lin Shu sighed and gently placed her slightly cool hand on the top of his head...
In that instant, A-Zhu froze, fell to the ground with a thud, and her expression became bewildered. She blinked, rubbed her head against Lin Shu's finger, and squinted her eyes in obvious enjoyment.
