It turned out that this was a drainage system cleverly designed by Jiang Ziling - when bathing, corn cobs are used to plug the holes, and when the water is full, it overflows and flows naturally down the trough. It is both convenient and a little wisdom in life.

While marveling at it, Su Yu carefully cleaned the bathtub and refilled it with hot water.

I immersed myself in this pool of warmth, and the physical and mental fatigue seemed to gradually dissipate with the rising water vapor, leaving only tranquility and relaxation.

It was late at night and the chirping of insects outside the window became the only background music, distant and clear.

Time seems to flow slowly at this moment, bringing a peaceful harbor to the soul.

After bathing, Su Yu felt refreshed and not sleepy at all. The moonlight was like a silver thread, shining through the window lattice and casting a silver glow all over the ground.

On a whim, she moved out a small stool, sat by the door, brewed a pot of light and elegant green tea, and enjoyed this rare tranquility and beauty.

The moon is high in the sky, the night wind is gentle, insects are humming, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming.

Even the green tea leaves floating gently in the cup seem exceptionally vibrant. Everything is so harmonious and comfortable.

Although he occasionally missed his master far away, Su Yu had to admit that the simple life here also had its unique charm.

Once upon a time, she thought her life would quietly disappear under the loess.

She had never expected that the God of Destiny would give her a new life in such a wonderful way, and she was filled with gratitude for this.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a sudden and untimely sound broke the tranquility of the night, startling Su Yu.

"Oh, you old bastard, be gentle..."

There was a hint of complaint and coquettishness in those words, and they actually came from Zhao's mouth.

Su Yu couldn't help but be stunned. On such a night, in such a private scene, he actually happened to see it by accident?

She wanted to enjoy the cool night quietly, but unexpectedly learned her neighbor's secret.

Driven by curiosity, Su Yu tiptoed towards Zhao's room and put his ear close to the crack of the door.

Trying to catch more sounds.

Inside the house, Zhao's voice was sometimes low and sometimes rapid, "Ah, ah... Ouch... hiss...", which made people imagine a lot.

Su Yu laughed secretly in his heart. He didn't expect this seemingly old-fashioned old couple.

He actually has such a lively side in private.

"Zhao is really full of energy. She is still passionate at this age."

She whispered to herself, a playful glint in her eyes.

Just as she was daydreaming, the scene in the house gradually became clear.

It turned out that Zhao was receiving treatment from Jiang Xunzhong because she accidentally sprained her arm. The "stimulating" moan was just caused by the pain when applying the ointment.

Zhao grimaced and endured the pain as she applied the medicine herself, all the while complaining about Daya.

That kind of fierce spirit does not change even when facing pain.

But all this, to Su Yu who was eavesdropping outside the door, became another interesting interpretation.

This little girl, at such a young age, could be so cruel.

After biting her like this, I will definitely find an opportunity to teach her a lesson once the wounds have healed, so that she knows the pros and cons.

Zhao's groaning "Ouch, ouch" came from inside the house, mixed with a bit of pain and helplessness.

Su Yu was listening attentively when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open interrupted the silence in the room.

Su Yu paused, a hint of surprise flashed across his brows, and he muttered to himself.

How could this person appear at this moment?

Logically speaking, he should be lying in bed recuperating.

She forced herself to let out two dry laughs, trying to diffuse the unexpected embarrassment.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the coolness of early spring, and Su Yu's messy black hair danced in the wind.

Like the inky black silk in the night, it formed a sharp contrast with the simple white dress she was wearing. The moonlight shining on her slightly pale face added a bit of otherworldly air to her.

In the eyes of the terrified Zhao, this scene was exactly like a resentful female ghost in white quietly approaching.

“Ah, ghost… ghost!”

Zhao's scream pierced the night sky, and then her body went limp and she collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

Taking advantage of Zhao's panic, Su Yu seized the opportunity and scurried back to his home like a cunning rabbit. He slammed the door shut and cut off all the noise from outside.

When Jiang Xunzhong rushed over after hearing the noise, the yard was already empty, with only the night wind swaying the leaves, making a rustling sound.

"Su Yu, where are you..."

He murmured softly, his eyes searching, but only caught the silence of the night.

"Ghost, there is a ghost..."

Zhao curled up on the ground, breathing weakly, and told Jiang Xunzhong her horrific experience in a halting manner.

Jiang Xunzhong looked around. The empty courtyard was empty except for the slightest movement. He couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart.

"Where do ghosts come from in this world? I'm afraid you are seeing things wrong."

Although he said this, his tone was a little unconfident.

When Zhao heard this, she became even more frightened. How could she have been wrong?

It was clearly a pale-faced, grinning female ghost in white, standing quietly at the door, as if she could penetrate people's souls.

This thought lingered in her mind like a nightmare, and finally she could no longer hold on and fainted completely.

When Su Yu returned to the room, he heard Jiang Ziling's slight and suppressed moan.

When I looked closer, I found that although he was asleep, his brows were furrowed and it was obvious that his dream was not a restful one.

The medication she had given him had both analgesic and sedative properties, allowing him to fall asleep quickly, but it was clear that the effects were wearing off and the pain was beginning to intrude on his dreams.

Su Yu sighed lightly, feeling helpless.

After all, excessive reliance on painkillers is harmful to the body, especially for common flesh wounds.

She could still use gold needles to stimulate acupuncture points to temporarily block pain signals, but faced with serious injuries like fractures, gold needle therapy seemed somewhat ineffective.

The only temporary solution is to endure for a few hours and take the medicine again.

She carefully moved Xier to the inside of the bed and slept between them.

Although the man lying next to him was an extraordinarily handsome man, he always maintained his distance. Now he had to get closer because of his injuries. Su Yu felt both helpless and a little warm in his heart.

Naturally, she didn't want to spend the night alone lying on the cold table.

The replaced bedding was soft and comfortable, and seemed to be even warmer than before. In this rare comfort, Su Yu's consciousness gradually became blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.

As for the episode that frightened Zhao, she had completely forgotten about it. The old woman's likes and dislikes had nothing to do with her.

The next morning, when Su Yu opened his eyes, Jiang Ziling was already sitting at the table.

He had a straight posture, sipping the water in the cup, and seemed to have recovered some of his spirit.

"Shouldn't you lie down and rest? Why are you getting up?"

Su Yu asked with a hint of reproach, his words full of concern.

Jiang Ziling's eyes flickered with a bit of childish shyness, and he didn't dare to look directly into her sharp yet caring eyes.
