When Gao Lang woke up, his mouth was bitter and astringent. The moment he opened his eyes, a sweet honey ball was stuffed into his mouth.
The sweet fragrance washed the bitterness from her mouth. She focused her eyes and saw that the person in front of her had a smile like a flower. The thin sunlight hit her face, causing her skin to look as transparent as a cicada's wing.
Jin Xiaolou said gently: ”The herbs I applied for you will make your mouth taste bitter, I went out to look for honey and crushed it into a ball for you.”
Gao Lang couldn't care about the pain in his chest, he immediately sat up and tightly hugged Jin Xiaolou.
”Ai, be careful. The wound on your chest is still not healed. You'll be the one suffering later!” Jin Xiaolou wanted to push him away.
”How could I bear to carry you!” Gao Lang bit his ear.
Jin Xiaolou's face flushed red and she hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Zou Miaomiao who was leaning on the stone building's door in embarrassment.
Zou Miaomiao was currently smiling happily while looking in the direction of Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang, seeming to be listening to what the two of them were doing with relish.
Jin Xiaolou pushed Gao Lang aside and stood up, but Zou Miaomiao immediately said, ”Don't be afraid, I can't see anything. You guys continue! ”Continue!”
Only now did Gao Lang notice that there was another person behind him. He squinted and asked, ”Who are you?”
After asking, he saw that person go blind, and then he saw himself standing in an empty valley, next to a stalactite tower. He was instantly shocked and blurted out: ”You are Pill King Zou Miaomiao, Old Mister Zou!”
Zou Miaomiao was quite pleased with himself: ”You're quite knowledgeable! ”That's right, this old man is Zou Miaomiao!”
Gao Lang did not care about the pain in his chest, and immediately stood up, bowing respectfully towards Zou Miaomiao: ”I am Zhao Yao, thank you elder for saving my life.”
Zou Miaomiao waved his hands and stopped him, ”Don't speak nonsense. I didn't save you. I, this old man, have sworn that I have not treated anyone for thirty years. The one who saved you was your little girl, you should thank her properly! ”
Gao Lang immediately turned around, and following the manner in which he had faced Zou Miaomiao, he politely bowed to Jin Xiaolou as well, ”Hubby thanks my wife for saving my life. This is my wife's second time saving me, so you will definitely repay me with your life in the coming years!”
Jin Xiaolou quickly moved away and did not bow to Gao Lang. She did not reveal any expression on her face, but she said coldly, ”I don't dare, I don't dare to ask for your return, and even more so, I don't dare to be your wife.”
It was only now that Jin Xiaolou realized that the person in front of him was actually a prince of Great Zhou, named Zhao Yao.
What Gao Lang, what fool, he was the fool.
Jin Xiaolou had treated and taken care of him with all her heart, and had almost given him a piece of his heart. But only now did she know his name, it was truly ironic.
”Little girl, you were just calling me husband just now so affectionately. Why is it that when this person lives, it actually makes things awkward!” Zou Miaomiao was full of confusion. It couldn't be that he hadn't gone down the mountain for thirty years, and he already didn't understand the current atmosphere among youngsters?
Gao Lang took a step forward, and held Jin Xiaolou's hand: ”It's not awkward, my wife is worried about me!”
Finished speaking, he smiled towards Jin Xiaolou.
Jin Xiaolou had to admit that Gao Lang's smile was so dazzling that it made people dizzy.
When Gao Lang risked her life to fight for his, she had thrown away all of his anger, resentment and disappointment. He only remembered that it was her foolish husband.
But now, when Gao Lang was once again standing in front of him, introducing himself to others, word for word, as well as his real identity.
Only now did Jin Xiaolou realize that she had indeed never met him before.
He was looking for the dead Jin Xiaolou, and the one he knew was the sincere Gao Lang.
In the empty cave, the cold lake was glowing with a golden luster.
The shadow was clearly shining on the two of them. To her and him, they were both strangers.
Jin Xiaolou withdrew her hand from Gao Lang's palm and raised her leg to cross the cold lake and walk out of the cave, ”You have recovered already, consider it as me returning the favor you gave me by saving me with all your might. I am not someone you want to repay, and you are not my husband either.”
Jin Xiaolou turned her back to Gao Lang and paused for a moment. Then she continued, ”I hope that you and I will never meet again.”
With that, he waded across the lake.
”Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …” Zou Miaomiao simply sat in front of the door and picked up a red fruit. As he ate, he clicked his tongue, ”According to the story in the play, the two of you are completely finished!”
The corner of Gao Lang's eyebrows lifted, and he watched Jin Xiaolou's figure pass through the narrow stone wall. In front of her eyes appeared a warm and harmonious candlelight from a room in the Frosty Wasteland Inner Sanctum, and under the candlelight, Jin Xiaolou's gently smiling face.
Whether it was a cold wind, a sudden rain, or the bright sun, or the endless rivers and mountains outside the three-inch courtyard.
