System [I am in a horror dungeon]

"By the way, you all should eat now. I thought it would take a long time."

"Well, I ate it, but it doesn't count as eating it."

Lu Nanyin looked at her and asked, "What do you mean by eating but not counting as eating?"

"We had some dry food, and none of us can cook, so..."

Lu Nanyin didn't know what to say, so she went to the kitchen with Su Liyue. Su Liyue helped her and cooked another meal.

Looking at the sumptuous meal of three dishes and one soup, Su Liyue admired her a little. She managed to make four dishes in such a short time.

There should be two more patients. Divide the food into two portions and serve them separately.

He helped Chu Lingxian get down from the bed, and the two of them sat at the table and ate quietly.

The atmosphere was really... awkward.

They both wanted to find something to talk about, but neither knew how to start.

"Lu Nanyin."

"Ah, what's the matter? Don't you like the contrast?"

Chu Lingxian shook her head. "No, the food is delicious. I heard from Su Li that you will go and treat the townspeople at noon."

"Well, it was their grandchildren. Someone tampered with the branches. When they were playing with the branches, the drug powder penetrated into their bodies and damaged their internal organs."

"Is that so? Then who do you think is the one who did this?"

Lu Nanyin has been thinking about this since she came out of those people's homes, but she couldn't figure out why those people would attack children.

"Those are the ones who came to dig for snow crystals, right?"

"I thought so too, but why? I can't figure it out."

Chu Lingxian looked at her. She might not know how vicious those people's methods were.

"Do you think it could be because of us?" Lu Nanyin asked tentatively.

Chu Lingxian met her gaze and said, "It's possible."

"Besides this, I can't think of any other reason. If they find us, then we should leave quickly. I would feel bad if more people get hurt because of us."

"Well, we'll leave once our injuries are better."

Lu Nanyin was in a low mood because they had caused those children to suffer such unexpected disasters.

"Lu Nanyin, when will their illness be cured?"

"It will take seven or eight days to fully recover, but the symptoms will be significantly alleviated within three days."

Chu Lingxian smiled and told her, "Then you are their savior. Like you said, if they continued to play with those branches, wouldn't it be more serious? It is difficult to recover when the internal organs are severely damaged. It is you who helped them."

Lu Nanyin smiled and said, "Then can I be a little proud? If those children continue to play, it will be just as you said. By then, I won't be able to save them."

"Of course, you can be proud."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In the afternoon, Lu Nanyin went to those people's homes again. The children were awake but not in good spirits.

Some families came to see her halfway, and their children were not in good spirits. When Lu Nanyin went to see them, she found that most of the children were in a bad mood because of the branches, so she told them not to let their children go out to play these days. The weather was cold and they were prone to catching colds. Children are curious and want to see everything, so they need to be more vigilant.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When Lu Nanyin came back, the sun was already setting. Watching the sunset, she suddenly felt that it was unreal. In the past three months, she had made friends, traveled to so many places, and learned a lot of things. No one knew that three months ago, she was still living a hard life in that remote little courtyard in the palace. No one would know that the Ninth Princess who died in the fire was herself, and no one would have thought that she had been reborn...

Lu Nanyin walked into the inn with a smile on her face. She was also humming a little tune while cooking, which made Su Liyue confused. Could this person's mood change so quickly? When she came back at noon, she looked so bitter and resentful, but now she was singing happily.

Su Liyue was actually very envious of her because her emotions came and went so quickly. She would put all her worries behind her in a short while and smile when she was happy. It was really nice.

Unlike her, he would never reveal what was in his heart no matter what time. Only when he was alone with Xia Xiaoxiao would he laugh sincerely.

After the meal was prepared, it was divided into two portions as before and they went to their respective rooms to eat.

Seeing Lu Nanyin so happy, Chu Lingxian felt better too. "What did you do this afternoon to make you so happy?"

"Hehe, you don't know, I went to several other people's homes this afternoon, and their children also got sick because of the tree branches, but their symptoms were not serious. After taking medicine and sleeping for a while, they felt much better. They all called me a miracle doctor, which made me feel a little embarrassed, hehe!"

Chu Lingxian smiled and put a piece of meat into her bowl, "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Lu. Eat more."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, hehe. You're welcome."

After a happy meal, Lu Nanyin fell asleep early because she had been running around, but Chu Lingxian couldn't sleep.

Listening to the even breathing of Lu Nanyin who was sleeping soundly, Chu Lingxian smiled silently.

Thinking back to that day in the cave, watching her close her eyes and slowly refine the herbs. Later, when those people broke in, she stood in front of her and helped her block many attacks, but she didn't regret it at all. If it happened again, she would still do it.

They had only known each other for three months, but he trusted her no less than he did Xia Xiaoxiao and Su Liyue. He even seemed to trust her a little more.

My heart is beating faster. Does this mean I’m attracted to you?

She didn't know either, but she had never felt this way before.

Lu Nanyin still hugged Chu Lingxian before sleeping, but this time, Chu Lingxian also turned around and held her shoulders.

When she woke up, Lu Nanyin was stunned. She... We just slept in each other's arms all night?!

He pulled his legs back, but didn't want to take back his hands that were around her waist. He just held her like that and closed his eyes for a while.

Until Chu Lingxian woke up, opened his eyes and looked into her eyes.

"Good morning."

Lu Nanyin smiled and replied, "Good morning."

It's a rainy day today. This kind of weather makes people feel a little depressed and feel like something is going to happen.

Just as she put on her coat, the door outside was slammed. Su Liyue went downstairs first and opened the door. A group of people rushed in, shouting that they were looking for Lu Nanyin.

Su Liyue blocked the stairs and prevented them from going up.

After asking the reason, they found out that these people were the family members of the children Lu Nanyin had treated yesterday. However, the children's injuries became more serious after Lu Nanyin left, and two of the children were already dying. So they rushed to find Lu Nanyin and asked her for an explanation.
