Nanzhi carefully moved some distance away, and couldn't bear to see the cold, lonely and pitiful look.
Schizophrenia is not uncommon in clinical practice, but not many can split into three personalities.
Under normal circumstances, such people have suffered extremely severe psychological trauma or stimulation, so they choose to 'protect' themselves in this way.
Leng Lie was always cared for by Uncle Fu when he traveled. It was hard for Nanzhi to imagine what he had gone through to become like this.
Upstairs, the bathroom is steaming with steam, mixed with the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
He lay quietly inside wrapped in a bath towel in the cold, with the water spreading to his neck, and his fair face gradually turned red.
This is the bedroom, and Uncle Fu's identity can't get in. Nanzhi has no choice but to do it himself.
"Just tell me if it feels hot."
She played with the herbs in the bath until the turbid water turned dark brown and exuded a bitter smell.
"If your eyes are swollen and stinging, don't worry about it, just bear with it." As soon as Nanzhi stood up after explaining, his slender white hands tightly grasped her wrist.
"Stay with me." The cold voice was lightly mixed in the water vapor.
He soaked in the medicine pool, his eyes gradually dimmed, looking at her helplessly and eagerly.
"I'll help you guard it."
Nanzhi took his hand away and reassured: "If it feels cold, add water yourself. It should soak for at least half an hour."
The medicine prescribed last time was gentler, but this time she gave it a strong dose. If everything goes well, Leng Lie will gradually become visible in ten days.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a crisp "click" sound from the bedroom door. Nanzhi gasped in fright and quickly walked to the door in a few steps.
"who?"
Nanzhi gently opened a crack in the door, and just as he was about to poke his head in, he saw Lin Ya walking over with a change of clothes.
"Mom, why did you come in?"
Fortunately it's not Aunt Li...
"The water in my bathroom is not very hot. I want to come to your place to take a bath."
"Come back later, I'm making medicine." Nanzhi quickly closed the door and locked it subconsciously.
She leaned against the door, with Lin Ya on one side and Leng Lie on the other.
The effects of the medicine seemed to have taken off, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan after being exposed to the cold and heat. He was in pain.
She is hiding someone alive!
Even if Lin Ya discovered it, it would be difficult to explain, especially in Huo Sijue's room.
At this time, Leng Lie suddenly let out a low cry.
"What's the sound?" Lin Ya knocked on the door.
"I burned myself. Please go back first. I'll call you after I've finished washing."
She will never open this door today!
Lin Ya was still saying something, but Nanzhi couldn't hear a word clearly. He huddled up in pain due to the cold. He tried to climb out of the bath several times but was pushed back by Nan Zhi.
"Be patient, this medicine is a bit strong, but I promise you will get better in ten days."
Nanzhi said it extremely seriously, and in the end he was almost begging: "Please bear with me a little longer."
For no other reason than that, she hoped that this ancestor could leave quickly before Huo Sijue came back!
If Huo Sijue found out that he was hiding someone at home, who knew what trouble would happen. She can't afford to offend her, so why not find a way to avoid her?
"pain……"
Her cold eyes gradually became bloodshot. Nanzhi wondered if the medicine was too strong. Before Lin Ya could leave, she simply took off her clothes, wet herself, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and opened the door a crack.
"Mom, can you go to the kitchen and get me some medicine?"
Nanzhi said with a flattering smile: "It's in the small medicine jar near the window sill, it's white."
This medicine is strong. She needs to add more ice lotus to it to make the cold feel better.
"What are you doing in broad daylight?"
When the door opened, a burst of hot air rushed out and fell on Lin Ya. She choked and covered her nose and took a few steps back.
"For girls, it's normal for the palace to be cold. Even if I'm not Huo Sijue, there's nothing wrong with me taking care of myself."
"Go quickly, my water is almost cold." Nanzhi urged.
Lin Ya doubtfully just went to get the medicine when Leng Lie spurted out a mouthful of blood. The dark pool was mixed with the water from the shower head and dyed brown.
Angrily, he held the bathtub with one hand and took away the bath towel with the other hand, revealing his slender body, which was even more erect because of the stimulation of the potion.
Nanzhi's face turned red at just one glance, and he immediately grabbed the bath towel and covered it again.
"This is to keep you warm. Don't take it away. The heat will not be effective if it dissipates."
"Effectiveness of the medicine?"
His cold forehead was covered with coldness, and there was still blood hanging from the corners of his mouth. He sarcastically said, "Do you want to help me heal my eyes, or do you want to kill me?"
His eyes were filled with anger, and Nanzhi followed him and said obediently: "You can't see it, so you don't know it. The black blood you just vomited out is the poison accumulated in your body over the years."
"I've given you a strong dose of medicine. I'll add some ice lotus to you later. You lie back first and stay well."
At the end of the sentence, Nanzhi's voice was almost coaxing. She rubbed her cold hair and comforted her like a child: "Be good. As long as you are obedient, you will be fine."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after Leng Lie regained his consciousness, he saw Nanzhi's blurry figure. He suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Nanzhi's face accurately.
She was only wrapped in a bath towel and a shower cap, and she looked so thin and fair... He knew that Nan Zhi was beautiful, but he didn't know that just such a hazy glance could make her so charming.
"What's wrong?" Nanzhi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"fine."
Her thin red lips opened and closed gently, and she lay down in the bathtub again despite the hot pain all over her body.
His heart, eyes, and even his lower body seemed to be on fire. Within a moment, the cold body was already hot and flushed.
At this time, Lin Ya came back.
Nanzhi opened the door, took the medicine and quickly sprinkled some on Leng Lie. The ice lotus medicine has quick properties, and it didn't take long for Leng Lie's body temperature to gradually return to normal.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Nanzhi touched his forehead to test the temperature.
The cold Adam's apple rolled, and his mind was filled with the woman he had just seen hazily. He suddenly raised his hand and pulled hard, and Nanzhi fell into the bath. With a 'plop' sound, water splashed everywhere.
"Cold!" Nanzhi blinked anxiously.
He completely trapped Nanzhi in his arms with both hands, not letting her move at all.
"I suspect there is something wrong with this medicine." His voice was cold, and he said matter-of-factly: "You have to soak it with me."
Judging from his tone of voice, there is no doubt that he is another 'cold' person.
Nanzhi had a headache, "This medicinal bath is not suitable for me, it will make me angry."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when she finished saying this, she obviously felt her cold hands loosen a little.
"You're trying to get rid of the poison, but I'm not sick." Nanzhi quickly climbed out while he let go, murmuring: "This medicine is not good for me at all, and it's even harmful to my body!"
"Are you so afraid that I will harm you?"
She had just fallen into a drowned rat, and now she climbed out and was dripping with water. It was too cold to see now, so she simply took off her bath towel and stood there naked, wiping her hair and then her body with a new towel.
Leng Lie turned his head in response to the voice. He didn't see it clearly, but he always felt that the figure was so alluring that he had an inexplicable reaction.
He didn't dare to think how crazy he would be when he finally regained his sight and saw this woman.
"The water is cold." Leng Lie said deliberately.
Nanzhi reluctantly threw down the towel and came over to add water to him. The legs seemed to be very thin, like chopsticks, white and clean.
Nanzhi noticed the man's gaze, shrank back in fright, and immediately blocked herself with a curtain, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, I feel hot."
"What's wrong?" Leng Lie asked knowingly.
Nanzhi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. After making sure that Leng Lie had no reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk out.
She fiddled with the shower head and filled him with water.
The water flowed over their bodies, with an unnoticeable ambiguity in the warmth.
"You are my first person to take a shower."
Nanzhi laughed at himself, "In the past, I would never have imagined that I would work as a bathhouse worker for 2 million."
"It's five million." Leng Lie corrected: "After you regain your sight, Uncle Fu will give you the balance, and he won't default on it."
"This five million is harder than making me eat shit!" Nanzhi finally complained, but Leng Lie laughed immediately. He has a nice smile, with a childishness in it.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Nanzhi finally asked a question that she was very curious about, "Uncle Fu is very important to you. He doesn't seem like an ordinary housekeeper."
"He is the person I trust most. Everyone would kill me, but he wouldn't."
"Who wants to kill you?" Nanzhi grasped the key point keenly and asked carefully.
Leng Lie didn't respond.
With cold, lifeless eyes, he lay silently in the bathtub, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If you don't want to say it, that's okay."
She didn't really need to know, she just thought that if one day, she provoked the master and servant and they were really silenced, at least they would have to die knowingly.
Nanzhi finally understood that she might not be able to spend this money.
As long as she could send this giant Buddha away safely now, she would be thankful to God that her ancestors had accumulated good deeds.
