When Jin Chu came to his senses, the man had already sat under the stove again and started to light the fire.

He is quite smart.

To hide her embarrassment, she cleared her throat, changed the subject, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better? Is the wound still bleeding and swollen today?"

"I'm feeling much better now. My life is no longer in danger. All that's left is to slowly recuperate."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a bottle of medicine and thanked her again, "If it weren't for your kindness last night, I wouldn't have gotten through this successfully. I was wrong to accidentally hurt you yesterday. This bottle of medicine is quite effective in removing scars. Take it, young lady."

Jin Chu waved his hands and refused: "The wound on my neck is shallow. Country people have thick skin. It will heal slowly after a few days of scab formation. It shouldn't leave a scar. You should keep this medicine for yourself when the wound heals."

"I'm a grown man, and it doesn't matter if I have scars on my body. But you're a girl, and the wound is on your neck, so you have to be more careful. Besides, the injury was caused by me. If you don't accept it, I'll be ashamed to face you." The man had a smile in his eyes, but his expression was very persistent.

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Jin Chu didn't refuse anymore and quickly put away the medicine bottle. Thinking of the scene last night, she looked at the man in black and said, "By the way, I have to tell you something."

She pointed at the rabbit beside the bed and said, "I was planning to stew it for you today to nourish your body! But now it seems that I can't eat it!"

"Why?" the man gave her a questioning look.

"How much do you remember about last night?" Jin Chu asked.

"I don't remember much." Thinking of the chaos of last night, the man said vaguely.

"Then do you remember when I asked you for medicine?"

The man thought about it and shook his head: "I can't remember clearly."

"That's it. You only managed to hold on until you gave me a purse, but there were several bottles of medicine in it. I didn't know which one was the right one. But you had already passed out by then, and no matter how much I called out, there was no response."

Thinking of what happened last night, Jin Chu rubbed his chest with lingering fear. "You had a high fever and fainted at the time. It was very dangerous. I had no choice but to cut its hind legs and tried several of your bottles of medicine one by one. Finally, I found the right one and gave it to you. That's how your fever finally subsided and you made it through safely."

She looked at the man in front of her, who was in a dilemma, and concluded with a smile, "So, if you can successfully see the sun today, this bunny boy has made an indelible contribution!"

"Okay, then keep it forever." The man looked at the girl who was smiling happily, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

The two of them had the same vegetable porridge as last night.

After finishing everything after dinner, Jinchu asked him, "Are you willing to believe me now?"

"After last night, I believe it," the man said bluntly, even suggesting, "You can go down the mountain and go home today. But please don't tell anyone about your encounter with me. It's for my own good, and yours as well."

Jin Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry, I can still distinguish the important from the unimportant. I have never met you before, but you are a very changeable person, one moment at a time."

"That was one time, and this is another time!" The man also laughed.

This person is a typical cold-outside-hot-inside type. He is cold and arrogant when he disagrees with something, but once he is recognized, he will become gentle, considerate, patient and tolerant.

It is better to be friends with someone than to be his enemy.

Having done so much, Jin Chu also wants to make some good connections.

She thought about it and decided to be a good person to the end. She looked at the man and said solemnly, "Although we didn't know each other until we fought, I took care of you all night and now I have your medicine. So we can be considered friends. I will never leave my friends without a beginning. Besides, you are not fully recovered yet and you can't leave without someone by your side for the time being, so I will not leave until you leave."

After saying this, Jin Chu clearly saw the man breathe a sigh of relief, barely perceptible.

"Your health is too poor now. It is definitely not enough for you to eat only corn and vegetable porridge every day. I plan to look around nearby. If I can catch two more rabbits, it will be enough for us to have several meals." Jin Chu said as he packed his things into the basket.

The man looked at the girl who was busy like a little bee and asked in a low voice: "How about I go with you?"

"Just stay here and don't move. I'll go catch two rabbits and come back!" After saying this, Jin Chu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

man:"???"

The girl's instructions were normal, but she smiled like a cat that had gotten something for nothing. What was going on?

Jin Chu didn't know what the man was thinking at the moment. If she knew, she would definitely sigh and say, "You guessed it right."

The words she said unintentionally just happened to correspond to the modern society's joke about the father going to buy oranges, and she immediately burst into laughter.

Following the path in her memory, Jin Chu walked quickly down the mountain. She wanted to see if there was anything she could get from the rabbit hole where she had buried a trap when she left yesterday.

Seeing the big tree, Jin Chu quickened her pace again, and then she noticed with her sharp eyes that the trap set high above the rabbit hole had disappeared.

This means the rabbit has taken the bait!

Jin Chu was delighted and began to look for the rabbit. Her efforts paid off. After a cup of tea, she found a fat wild rabbit under a sunken tree. The rabbit was strangled by a rope around its neck and was struggling to death.

She put the rabbit in the basket and carefully put away the trap.

After walking up the mountain for a while, she saw another rabbit hole, so she set up the trap again.

This time she waited for a long time, but there was no movement from the rabbit hole. Seeing that the sun was already past noon, she thought that there was still a wounded person in the stone house on the mountain, so she had to go back to cook.

Jin Chu decided not to dismantle the trap yet and come back later to see the situation.

She made a mark nearby, then turned around and ran towards the stone house with her bamboo basket.

When she opened the door, she found that the man was not in the room. Jin Chu was shocked and hurried to look at the bed. The blanket was neatly folded, and the rabbit beside the bed was sitting on the ground, chewing a ball of hay.

The pots, stoves, bowls and pans were all in the same place as before, with no signs of the mess from a fight.

She finally felt relieved, but then she couldn't help complaining, "A seriously injured person, why doesn't he stay at home to recuperate instead of running around all day long?"

She put down the basket, took out the rabbit, knocked it unconscious quickly and accurately, skinned it, bled it, and finally cut the meat. There was only green salt in the stone house. A good cook cannot cook without rice, and she was not a very good cook.

Thinking that high-end ingredients are often cooked in the most primitive way, Jinchu decided to make a homemade Ye dish - clear-boiled rabbit soup.

When the rich aroma of rabbit meat wafted into the air, the latecomer finally arrived.

The man in black smiled at Jin Chu, looking troubled. Jin Chu asked nothing, but silently poured a bowl of rabbit soup and handed it to him. "It only has salt, so the taste might be a little off, but it's good for your health. Eat more!"

The man thanked him and took the bowl.

While eating, Jin Chu could clearly feel the man's gazes from time to time, but she pretended not to know and buried her head in eating the meat without responding.

After a while, a man's deep voice sounded in my ears, "I should leave this place tomorrow."

Jin Chu said "Oh" and asked with concern: "Have you contacted your people?"

The man nodded slightly.

The girl met the man's gaze sincerely and said, "Congratulations, you're finally out of danger!"

After finishing the meal, she hurried down the mountain to collect the trap.

This time, good luck did not favor her. Jin Chu put away the trap and felt quite depressed.

When the last ray of light in the sky faded, she finally saw the dim light in the stone house. She opened the door, but there was no trace of the man by the bed.
