Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 284 Qinling Sacred Tree (43)

Jin Yang had just finished boiling the water and was about to fill the thermos with hot water when Zhang Qiling led Fatty Wang into the house. As soon as Fatty Wang entered the house, he did not see Wu Xie, so he asked, "Sister, where is Tian Zhen?"

Ji Xiao heard the voice and replied with a smile: "He is in the toilet. He hasn't come out yet, but he should be here soon. But I think his legs are weak now, so he needs you to support him. Otherwise, if you are late for a while, he will fall into the toilet!"

After that, Ji Xiao quickly poured Wang Pangzi a cup of steaming hot ginger tea and said with concern: "Come, drink some hot water to warm your body and drive away the cold."

Then, she handed the thermos cup to Zhang Qiling and gently said, "This place is much colder than Beijing. You should drink something quickly."

"Thank you, sister. I'll go get Tianzhen when I finish drinking." Fatty Wang took the cup gratefully and drank it in big gulps.

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly, indicating that he knew. After all, it was dozens of degrees below zero here. After he took the thermos cup, he raised his head without hesitation and drank the water in it. Then, he stood up and walked out the door towards the bathroom.

At this moment, Wu Xie's face was as pale as paper, his hands were tightly supporting the wall, his legs were soft and weak, and he walked out of the bathroom with difficulty, step by step.

It turned out that the temperature in the Changbai Mountain area was already very low, and it was even worse at night. In addition, he had walked a long distance in the snow yesterday and had just squatted in the toilet for a long time, causing his buttocks to be almost completely frozen, and his legs were soft and numb, making it difficult for him to support his body weight.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiling stepped forward without hesitation to support him and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"No... It's okay, my legs are just a little weak." Wu Xie replied with a trembling voice. Zhang Qiling picked up Wu Xie without saying a word and carried him into the room.

Ji Xiao witnessed all this and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to herself: If she didn't know clearly that Zhang Qiling liked her, she would probably have mistakenly thought that they were a perfect couple made in heaven.

Afterwards, Ji Xiao gently stroked the top of her head, feeling fortunate that no grass had grown.

Fatty Wang stood aside and teased, "Hey, little brother, are you really performing a princess hug? Look at how shy Tian Zhen is. Look at my sister's face."

Zhang Qiling didn't pay too much attention to Fatty Wang. He carefully placed Wu Xie on the bed, then sat next to Ji Xiao and said softly, "Xiao Xiao, he has some frostbite."

Ji Xiao naturally leaned on Zhang Qiling and replied softly, "It's okay. The owner here has already prepared some hot water. Let Fatty apply some frostbite medicine to him. He will recover soon."

After that, Ji Xiao took out a small light green porcelain bottle from the bag on Zhang Qiling's back, handed it to the fat man, and then instructed: "After taking a shower, apply a layer evenly on the frostbitten area, and you will be healed when you wake up tomorrow morning."

The fat man took the porcelain bottle, observed it carefully, then opened the bottle cap and sniffed it, then said with a smile: "Sister, do you have any more good stuff like this? This medicine smells good and the color is beautiful."

"This bottle is enough for a long time. If you run out, you can always come to me for more."

"Okay, thank you, sister." After saying that, Fatty Wang carefully put away the porcelain bottle.

At this time, Wu Xie, who had gradually recovered, also looked at Ji Xiao very seriously and said sincerely: "Xiao Xiao, thank you. Brother, thank you for what I did just now."

"You're welcome." Ji Xiao responded with a smile.

"Yes." Zhang Qiling nodded, indicating that he agreed.

Then he hugged Ji Xiao and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to go and rest first?"

"Okay." Before she finished speaking, Ji Xiao couldn't help but yawn loudly. Her eyes instantly became hazy and she rubbed gently against Zhang Qiling's broad chest like a cute kitten.

At this moment, Jin Yang walked in from outside and said, "The water has boiled and can be used."

"Jin Yang, thank you very much."

"You're welcome. Since your friends are here, I'll go and rest. But I only have this room and my room to sleep in. But my room is a little small, so your friends will have to make do in your room tonight."

"It's okay, brother. Thank you for saving our innocent family."

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. You should go to bed early." After saying that, Jin Yang turned around and left.

Zhang Qiling carried Ji Xiao to the kang, gently placed her on it, then took out a soft goose down quilt from the space and carefully covered her with it.

"Don't worry, I'm here with you." Zhang Qiling said softly, Ji Xiao nodded gently, and then slowly closed her eyes. After seeing that Ji Xiao had fallen asleep, Zhang Qiling turned around, walked into the outer room, and helped Wu Xie take a bath and apply medicine with Fatty Wang.

After Wang Pangzi skillfully applied the medicine to Wu Xie, the three of them chatted for a while. Not long after, Wu Xie couldn't resist the sleepiness and climbed onto the kang to sleep.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling also followed and got on the kang. Since the kang was spacious enough, Zhang Qiling placed a kang table in the middle, while Fatty Wang and Wu Xie slept at the end of the kang, and Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao slept at the head of the kang.

However, this night was not a peaceful one for Wu Xie. Because he had taken the marrow cleansing pill Ji Xiao gave him, he frequently got up to go to the bathroom, which resulted in a sleepless night. But it was okay, as his condition got better and better, the time he spent going to the bathroom gradually decreased.

Zhang Qiling on the other side naturally also heard the noise of Wu Xie getting up, but when he heard Wu Xie's footsteps becoming more and more steady, he knew in his heart that Wu Xie's physical condition should have improved, so he no longer paid too much attention to it.

Despite this, Zhang Qiling himself did not sleep very deeply, but remained alert at all times.
