The secret passage is still so damp, as if you are in a moist darkness.
The stone bricks on the walls were wet, as if they had just been soaked in water, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and moss.
In this faint light, you can vaguely see the winding path in the tunnel, as if a giant earthworm is traveling underground.
Occasionally, the sound of dripping water in the distance can be heard, clear and long, echoing in this quiet space, making people feel cold.
Here, time seems to have frozen, and only moisture and darkness are eternal.
Every step must be carefully tested for fear of falling into the mud.
Yang Yunfei continued to move forward, but this time he didn't seem to feel the feeling of someone staring at him from behind.
Luo Jinyu in the room counted the time and found that several hours had passed, but Yang Yunfei still did not come back.
He couldn't help but feel worried, his brows furrowed, and his eyes showed some anxiety.
His hands clenched into fists.
He knew that Yang Yunfei was in that dark and damp secret passage, and he didn't know whether he would face many unknown dangers.
He seemed to be able to see Yang Yunfei groping forward in the darkness, taking every step carefully, but he was unable to rescue him. This feeling of helplessness made Luo Jinyu even more anxious.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, but the worry still refused to dissipate.
"Husband, don't worry, I believe Yang Yunfei will be able to come back safely."
Luo Jinyu frowned slightly, put his clenched fists on the table, and said nothing.
Just when he calmed down and wanted to speak, he saw the door being pushed open.
Yang Yunfei walked in exhausted, with a few traces of dirt on his face, but he couldn't hide the smile of relief.
He staggered towards Luo Jinyu, every step seemed so heavy.
Seeing his safe return, Luo Jinyu's worries instantly dissipated, replaced by an indescribable joy.
He stood up and faced Yang Yunfei with a sincere smile on his face.
"You're back." He said softly, with a bit of excitement in his voice.
Yang Yunfei nodded slightly, did not speak, and just stood there quietly, as if he wanted to remember this moment in his heart forever.
At this moment, their hearts were tightly connected, and all their worries and anxieties disappeared at this moment.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became warm and peaceful, as if all the wind and rain had passed, leaving only this rare peace.
When Yang Yunfei wanted to sit down, he was stopped by Luo Jinyu.
"Look at your body. It's so dirty. Go and wash it first before talking about it." Luo Jinyu's tone was a little helpless.
Yang Yunfei lowered his head and looked at himself. His body was covered with dirt and weeds, which was indeed a bit unsightly.
He smiled slightly, nodded, and walked out of the room.
Luo Jinyu watched him leave, shook his head helplessly, closed the door, and returned to his seat.
Yang Yunfei returned to his room, quickly took off his dirty clothes, and soaked himself in the tub.
He felt exhausted, but with a sense of contented relief.
In the tub, he closed his eyes and let the warm water wash away his fatigue and dirt.
His mind began to wander, remembering every detail in the secret passage.
The dark, damp environment seemed to reappear in his mind, and every stone brick and every drop of water was clearly visible.
He felt his skin gradually relax in the warm water, and the moist feeling seemed to bring his body and mind back to the secret passage.
Suddenly, he felt a strange touch. He stretched out his hand and found a small wound on his arm.
He frowned slightly, trying to remember how he was injured, but he had no memory at all.
He gently touched the wound, feeling the slight pain, as if to remind him that the experience was not an illusion.
Yang Yunfei looked at his injured place and frowned when the water touched it.
It was a small cut, not deep, but enough to cause him pain.
He remembered that he seemed to have collided with something sharp in the secret passage, but the situation was urgent and he did not pay too much attention.
Now it seems that this wound should have been left at that time.
He gently touched the wound with his fingers, feeling the slight pain.
His thoughts drifted back to the dark and damp secret passage again, and every detail emerged clearly in his mind. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he could see his figure groping forward in the darkness, every step. They are all cautious and full of unknowns and dangers.
Yang Yunfei continued to soak in the water. The warm water seemed to have magical power, slowly wearing away his fatigue.
His eyelids began to feel heavy, a hint of sleepiness came over him, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
In the dream, he returned to the dark secret passage, but this time, he was no longer alone.
Luo Jinyu's figure appeared next to him, and the two walked side by side, supporting each other.
They passed through the dark tunnel, defeated the fear in their hearts, and finally came to a bright exit.
When the sun shone on them, Yang Yunfei felt an unprecedented warmth and peace.
At this moment, all the fatigue and pain disappeared, leaving only the deep friendship and trust between them.
"Yang Yunfei, Yang Yunfei..."
Luo Jinyu saw that he hadn't come to the room for a long time, so he stood up and went to his room to search.
What I didn't expect was that when I entered, I saw him asleep in the bathtub.
He shouted twice, but received no response. He reached out and slapped Yang Yunfei twice on the face, but still did not wake him up.
When his hand touched Yang Yunfei's cheek, he felt it was hot, and his brows knitted together involuntarily.
"Husband, are you in there? Are you okay?"
At this time, Shu Zhihan's voice came from outside the door.
Luo Jinyu's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he immediately said: "Don't come in, you go back to your room first."
He thought to himself that Yang Yunfei was still naked at this time. If Shu Zhihan came in and saw this unbearable scene, wouldn't it stain her eyes?
Although Shu Zhihan felt a little strange, she still obeyed and left the room.
Luo Jinyu breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Shu Zhihan had left.
He looked at Yang Yunfei, who was still sleeping, and couldn't help but feel helpless.
He carefully took Yang Yunfei out of the tub and gently wiped the water drops on his body with a soft towel.
Then, he took out a set of clean clothes and put them on Yang Yunfei carefully.
After everything was ready, Luo Jinyu sent Yang Yunfei to his bed. He covered Yang Yunfei with a quilt and gently tucked the corners of the quilt to ensure that he would not catch cold.
Luo Jinyu checked Yang Yunfei's condition again, stood up and quickly returned to his room.
"Madam, Yang Yunfei has suffered from cold and is running a high fever. Do we have any medicine here?"
Shu Zhihan's brows tightened, and then she shook her head, "I didn't bring any medicine. Otherwise, I would ask my mother, maybe she would have it."
Luo Jinyu nodded, "Thank you, Madam."
"It's okay. Then you go and accompany Yunfei first. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Shu Zhihan left the room and quickly walked to Shu's mother's room.
When Shu Zhihan learned that her mother didn't have any antipyretic medicine, her heart twitched.
She stood there, quickly searching for various ways in her mind to reduce Yang Yunfei's fever.
Suddenly, she thought of her childhood in the Taishi Mansion. Whenever a maid had a fever, the old woman would put a wet towel on her forehead, and then gently wipe her body with white wine to cool down.
She immediately turned around and came to Yang Yunfei's room and told Luo Jinyu this.
Then, Luo Jinyu immediately took out a clean towel, soaked it in cold water, wrung it out, and carefully applied it to Yang Yunfei's forehead.
Shu Zhihan then found some liquor from the cabinet and handed it to Luo Jinyu. Then she left the room and gently wiped Yang Yunfei's body.
Luo Jinyu wiped Yang Yunfei's body patiently and carefully, but his forehead was still a little hot when touched.
Dong Dong Dong~
"Husband, can I come in?"
Hearing Shu Zhihan's voice, Luo Jinyu hurriedly put Yang Yunfei on the bed and covered them all with quilts.
Then, he faced the door and said, "Come in."
"Husband, this is the medicine my mother gave me. She said it will heal quickly after taking it."
Luo Jinyu looked at the small pill in Shu Zhihan's palm and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but still took it and stuffed it directly into Yang Yunfei's mouth.
Luo Jinyu saw Yang Yunfei's Adam's apple move, and the movement of swallowing made him feel relieved.
He knew that he had delivered the pill to Yang Yunfei's mouth, and it was slowly sliding down his esophagus.
At this moment, Luo Jinyu couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of how Shu Zhihan took care of himself like this when he was sick.
When Shu Zhihan saw that Yang Yunfei had swallowed the medicine, she felt much more at ease.
She made an excuse, fearing that Luo Jinyu would discover some clues and she would be at a loss again.
She said softly: "Husband, since Yunfei has taken the medicine, he should be able to get up when he goes to sleep again. I will go and make him some porridge first, so that he can fill his stomach when he wakes up."
Luo Jinyu nodded and watched Shu Zhihan leave the room. ,
He looked at Yang Yunfei, who had fallen asleep peacefully, and the worry in his heart eased slightly.
He sat by the bed and watched Yang Yunfei, observing his condition from time to time without closing his eyes.
Luo Jinyu couldn't help but think about what he had experienced in the secret passage to be able to bring down such a powerful person. This also made him start to worry about the secret passage.
