She gently applied the paste on the wound on his palm, being extremely careful.

His hands were cold from washing clothes in the stream.

She shuddered from the cold, raised her eyes and looked at him with trembling eyes, "Does it hurt?"

"I'm sorry, I'll do these things when I'm better."

"You're injured too. I'm sorry."

She looked at him with eyes full of apology, his blue eyes locked onto her features, the golden sunlight outlined her beautiful little face, her skin was fair, her eyes were clear, she really looked weak, innocent, and pitiful.

She felt extremely uncomfortable being looked at by him, and hurriedly let go of his hand, saying softly, "Luo Yunxuan, thank you for your hard work."

"cough cough"

"Let me tie the rope."

Luo Yunxuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "Are you sure you can lift your arms?"

Her little face couldn't help but turn red. She raised her arm slightly and felt unbearable pain. She couldn't help but start coughing.

"Miss, I'm not that squeamish. You should go back and rest!"

"Don't let it interfere with my work!"

He said this coldly.

She pursed her lips, he was really cold.

She could only watch as he tied the ropes neatly and hung all the washed clothes out to dry.

Mu Jiaojiao watched him do these things and couldn't help but sigh. He should have had a perfect life, but he was locked up in a laboratory and tortured for ten years...

When he had done these things, he turned around and saw her looking at him.

"Miss, is there anything else you want me to do?"

She looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She really didn't want to order him to do anything. After all, his injuries were much more serious than hers.

But her body was too fragile. Although she had taken pills to strengthen her body, she still needed to take cough medicine to get better quickly.

Luo Yunxuan's eyes were sinister and his brows were furrowed, he looked really fierce.

"Luo, Luo Yunxuan, can you help me find some herbs in the mountains? We are all seriously injured, and the medicine I brought is not enough..."

Luo Yunxuan hummed in a depressed tone.

She smiled softly at him, "I know you're smart and have a photographic memory. You'll be able to find the medicine I need."

Luo Yunxuan's eyes were sharp, "Miss, how can my blue eyes and scales return to normal? I need this medicine! Miss, please tell me and I will find it."

She started coughing anxiously.

He asked, "Miss, are you afraid that I know the herbal formula and are on guard against me?"

He looked at her with increasingly sharp eyes.

She shook her head hurriedly, "No, that medicine is difficult to prepare. You can't find all the herbs in a short time. What's more, you are injured. We have to recover first before we can talk about other things. Don't worry, ahem, I won't lie to you."

His blue eyes were deep, and her heart beat faster. "Don't worry, I really won't lie to you."

Luo Yunxuan lowered his eyes to hide the turmoil in his eyes. Mu Jiaojiao, if she dares to play tricks on him, he will kill her!

He raised his eyes to look at her, "Then Miss, tell me what herbs I should look for."

A layer of joy appeared in her eyes, "Okay."

Her eyes curved into beautiful little crescents, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in them, so dazzling that he couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.

She saw him staring at her and she hurriedly stopped laughing.

*

She told Luo Yunxuan the shapes and growing environments of the two medicinal herbs she was looking for.

Luo Yunxuan wrote it all down, then put on his straw hat and went out again.

She leaned one hand on the tree and coughed softly.

She could still have a normal conversation with Luo Yunxuan. As long as she continued to help him, he would never kill her.

Thinking of this, she became more confident.

She will definitely live well in this world, and she misses her parents so much as her family in that world.

……

She sat alone on the stone bench at the door, just looking in the direction he left.

Hopefully he can find the herbs soon so they don't have to endure this excruciating pain.

She sat on a stone bench with one hand on her chin to bask in the sun. Not far away, clothes on the rope were blown up by the wind. She looked at the clothes, hoping they would dry quickly so she could change into them.

Her stomach was rumbling and she was a little annoyed. Stop it. What would happen if it continued to rumble?

*

She sat on the stone bench for a long time, she estimated about an hour.

She heard footsteps, so she quickly stood up and looked over there.

Sure enough, Luo Yunxuan's figure was seen. He was walking towards this side carrying a basket. The tattered basket was full of things.

Luo Yunxuan saw her from a distance. The moment she saw him, her eyes suddenly became bright, and the joy in her eyes did not seem fake.

An indescribable feeling arose in Luo Yunxuan's chest. His mother must be waiting for him to come home like this.

When he appeared next to his mother, she must have been just as happy.

As he thought about this, a layer of sadness appeared in his blue eyes.

"Luo Yunxuan, you're back."

She looked over here with joy.

Luo Yunxuan walked over and put down the basket.

"Miss, take a look, are the herbs I found correct?" Luo Yunxuan said without any emotion.

She picked up the herb, looked at it carefully, and then put it to her nose and sniffed it. "Yes, that's right."

"Miss, I picked some more sweet fruits. I also found this green fruit on the tree over there. I wonder if it's edible."

"There are a lot of them over there, so I picked quite a few. Take a look, young lady."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the green fruit with surprise in her eyes, "This can be eaten, of course it can be eaten."

"Luo Yunxuan, I never thought there are such wild fruits here. I have seen this kind of wild fruit in a book. It is rich in various vitamins and is particularly good for the body's healing."

She explained with a smile, "We'll eat this later."

"But you have to peel the fruit before you can eat it."

Luo Yunxuan said, "I'll do it."

Soon Luo Yunxuan used a heavy knife to peel the fruit and then washed it.

Just now he handed it to her, "Miss, eat it."

She took the fruit and looked at him with a smile, "Luo Yunxuan, from now on we are just friends. You can just call me Mu Jiaojiao. Don't call me Miss anymore. I'm not a Miss."

Luo Yunxuan didn't say anything, but just lowered his eyes to look at the green fruit in his hand.

Mu Jiaojiao was really hungry. She ate the green fruit in big mouthfuls. It tasted really sweet, much sweeter than those sweet fruits.

She was really hungry and ate voraciously.

After eating three in a row, she looked at him embarrassedly.

He was still eating the green fruit slowly, bite by bite, while the way she ate was really ugly.

She was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.

"me"

"Do you still want to eat?"

She shook her head. "I'm full."

Luo Yunxuan was eating by himself. He thought that when his eyesight returned to normal and the scales on his hands and feet disappeared, he would go to the place where he lived as a child to find his mother.

He really missed his mother.

The two of them looked at each other in silence. Mu Jiaojiao picked up the herbs and began to pick them.
