Chapter 262: Sober by the Lake
The summer nights in Nanzi are bright with a bright moon and lush vegetation.
Mo Jingchun chose a deserted place and fled desperately. He felt a chill behind him and knew without looking back that she was chasing him closely.
In front of us is a calm lake, which is like a mirror in the night, reflecting the huge shadow of the moon.
Mo Jingchun was exhausted and slipped from the tree and fell to the ground. She twisted her body with all her strength and the next moment, the ground where she had just been lying was scratched by the sword in her hand.
"Lou Xiao—wake up!"
He was almost dying. Compared to Lou Xiao who wasn't even breathing hard, Mo Jingchun was sweating profusely and he almost didn't have the strength to stand up.
He supported his body with his elbows and retreated on the ground. Ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake. He was retreating into the shallow lake water. His body was completely wet and he looked miserable.
The water was so deep that he was afraid he would drown in the lake due to exhaustion.
Lou Xiao followed and stepped into the water, slowly forcing Mo Jingchun into a desperate situation.
The sword lifted his chin, and the cold tip of the sword touched the lake water in the middle of the night, chilling him to the bone.
That's it for now.
Mo Jingchun thought in despair and slowly closed his eyes.
The fatal blow he was waiting for did not come, but he heard the sound of water rippling and the sword at his neck fell down.
Mo Jingchun opened his eyes and saw Lou Xiao wiping the corner of his lips with one hand, his fingertips stained with blood, his eyes full of confusion and surprise.
Blood?
Is she hurt?
Mo Jingchun didn't bother to confirm whether she was awake or not. He climbed out of the water and rushed to her.
"You vomited blood?! Did you suffer internal injuries? Calm down and hold your breath, let me take a look--" He took her hand to feel her pulse, and he also had to carefully check the Gu that had been deep in her body for many years, worried that it was the cause of her current condition.
Lou Xiao didn't resist and let him hold her wrist with his wet hand.
But when he lowered his head and focused his whole body and mind on her pulse, she raised her eyes to see his expression. His eyes were clear and he had fully recovered from his previous state.
She hadn't seen her own blood in years.
She actually knew very well whether she was injured or not, but because she herself didn't know the reason, she let him check.
She was testing him, she knew what Mo Jingchun was thinking.
Is he sincere or fake? Does the poison in her body have anything to do with him? Can he cure it for her? She needs an attitude.
And the result——
Lou Xiao was thinking, when suddenly a surge of blood surged, and a fishy and sweet taste flowed from his chest to his mouth and nose.
Mo Jingchun also noticed her discomfort. When he looked up, he saw blood flowing from the corner of Lou Xiao's mouth, but she looked indifferent, as if the blood was not hers.
Instead, he hurriedly wiped her with the corner of his clothes. The corner of his clothes soaked in lake water was very cold. Lou Xiao frowned slightly.
Mo Jingchun realized that something was wrong. He felt around his body but couldn't find a dry spot. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
Lou Xiao pulled his hand out, continued to wipe the blood with his fingertips, turned around and walked towards the shore.
Mo Jingchun followed behind her awkwardly, like a wet and embarrassed puppy who had done something wrong, following her closely, wanting to say something but not daring to.
After getting ashore, Lou Xiao sat down on the grass by the lake, put the sword in his hand at his side, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
After a while, he finally spoke to Mo Jingchun who was still standing in the shallow water.
"Come up, I won't kill you."
She never wanted to do anything to him.
Mo Jingchun walked up to her and asked her carefully,
"Are you...still feeling unwell? Was that an illusion just now?"
Lou Xiao asked directly, "Gu, is there any strange phenomenon?"
She had experienced such an out-of-control moment in the capital, so she naturally did not attribute it to the bone flute illusion.
But the Gu seemed to be real, what effect did it have on her body?
Mo Jingchun shook his head, remembering that she still had her eyes closed, and said,
“No…but I’m not sure if your vomiting blood is related to it.
The important thing is that you are under the hallucination of the bone flute. It is easy to get lost if you can't distinguish reality. Lou Xiao, do you have any sequelae of the hallucination——"
