I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 335 Lu Zhijin Awakens

Whether it was because Lu Zhijin was in good physical condition or because the medicine worked, although he had a fever, it was not serious, and the fever subsided overnight.

Lu Zhijin woke up the next morning.

He opened his eyes and immediately realized that he was no longer in the forest, but in an unfamiliar room. He glanced around the room and, seeing that there was no danger, his vigilance lessened somewhat.

Thinking back to what happened before.

He was on a mission this time, but he didn't expect the other side to be so vigilant, almost causing their entire army to be wiped out. In the end, he lured the people away, which allowed the others to escape.

But in the end, there was still someone chasing him. During their fight, they were both injured. He ran for his life and finally escaped into a forest.

However, due to excessive blood loss, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, after which he lost consciousness.

Thinking of his injury, Lu Zhijin touched his abdomen, which had already been bandaged.

Looking at the clothes on him, which were clearly not his own, Lu Zhijin knew that he had been rescued.

But where is this place, and who rescued me?

Just as he was pondering this, he heard footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open.

"Zhijin, you're awake." Xiao Sining saw Lu Zhijin sitting on the bed as soon as she entered the room.

"Si Ning?" Lu Zhijin was surprised. He didn't expect that the person who saved him was Xiao Si Ning. Now he could rest assured.

"It's me, Zhijin. You're finally awake! How are your injuries? Are you still bleeding? I'll have Shiqing change your dressing." Xiao Sining was very happy to see him wake up.

"Don't rush, Si Ning, you saved me." Lu Zhijin said, getting out of bed.

"Hey, you're lying down, you're still injured. Just tell me what's wrong." Xiao Sining immediately stepped forward to stop Lu Zhijin when she saw him doing that.

Lu Zhijin did not refuse Xiao Sining's kindness, but instead of lying down, he remained sitting on the bed.

"Sining, where is this? Where did you save me?" Lu Zhijin hadn't left yet and didn't know the exact location.

“This is a manor that my family recently bought. It’s on the outskirts of the capital, a bit of a distance from the city. I found you in the woods on the mountain behind the manor. Yue’er and I were climbing the mountain when we saw you. You were unconscious, so we carried you down on our backs,” Xiao Sining explained.

"Have you seen anyone else?" Lu Zhijin asked anxiously. He remembered that the people who were chasing him had been relentlessly pursuing him, and in the end, he had injured one of them.

"No, I only saw you. I was in a hurry and didn't look anywhere else. Zhijin, is there anyone else who was injured?" Xiao Sining wondered if Lu Zhijin's guards had also been injured and fainted on the mountain. But it had been a whole night, and even if they were alive, they would probably have frozen to death.

"No, thank you so much for what happened this time, Si Ning. I'm afraid I would be dead by now if it weren't for you." Lu Zhijin shook his head, wondering if the person chasing him was dead or if he had been saved by his accomplices.

Although he wasn't seriously injured this time, if Xiao Sining hadn't saved him, he would definitely have lost his life due to the continuous bleeding and the freezing cold.

It seems he was quite lucky to run into someone he knew in such a remote place.

Xiao Sining shook her head. "It's nothing. I wasn't much of a help. Are you hungry? I'll have Shi Qing change your dressing first, and then we'll eat."

"Okay, thank you, Sining." Although the bleeding from his abdomen had stopped, the wound was still quite deep, and he was speaking through the pain.

"Why are you being so polite? Aren't we good friends?" Xiao Sining patted Lu Zhijin on the shoulder and then went out.

Xiao Sining returned shortly after leaving with Shi Qing. Lu Zhijin felt somewhat embarrassed to see that Shi Qing was a woman, given that his injury was to his abdomen.

"Sining, let me apply the medicine myself. You can just give me the medicine." He's awake now, so applying the medicine shouldn't be a problem.

Xiao Sining noticed Lu Zhijin's embarrassment and agreed. Anyway, Lu Zhijin's hands were fine, so changing the dressing wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Shi Qing, you can go ahead and do your work. Just give me the medicine." Xiao Sining took the medicine from Shi Qing and placed it on the table.

"Yes, Fifth Young Master."

After Shi Qing left, Lu Zhijin changed his medicine with Xiao Sining's help.

After Lu Zhijin changed his dressing, the food prepared by the kitchen was delivered.

"Zhijin, eat quickly." Lu Zhijin is not yet ready to get out of bed, so the food was placed on a small table on the bed.

Lu Zhijin was indeed starving; he hadn't eaten for two days, so he stopped being polite and started eating.

After the meal, Lu Zhijin looked at Xiao Sining and said, "Sining, I may have to stay here for a few days."

He is currently injured and cannot move around too much. Another important reason is that he cannot go back yet.

"It's alright, you can stay as long as you want." Xiao Sining wisely didn't ask what happened to Lu Zhijin. Knowing too much wouldn't do any good, and besides, he wasn't that curious.

"Zhijin, you're injured, so you should rest. I'll go out first. I've also sent someone to take care of you; he's outside. Just call him if you need anything." Seeing that Lu Zhijin's face was still somewhat pale, Xiao Sining decided not to disturb him any further.

"okay, I get it."

After Xiao Sining left, Lu Zhijin sat on the bed and pondered for a long time before lying down.

After Xiao Sining left, she went to Xiao Siyue's room.

Xiao Siyue is currently playing cards with Chun Tao and a few others. He made this earlier, and now that he's bored, he invited a few maids to play together.

When Xiao Siyue saw Xiao Sining enter, she put down the cards in her hand.

"Fifth Brother, is Brother Lu resting?" Xiao Siyue already knew that Lu Zhijin had woken up; Shi Qing had told her this when he returned earlier.

"Yes, I'm taking a rest."

Xiao Siyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was good that she was awake. She wasn't interested in Lu Zhijin's affairs; in short, they had nothing to do with her.

"Fifth Brother, do you want to play cards with us?" Xiao Siyue

“Okay, I’ll play a couple of rounds too.” Xiao Sining didn’t have anything else to do, so she played with Xiao Siyue for a while.

"Fifth Brother, when are you planning to go back?" Xiao Siyue knew that her fifth brother was someone who couldn't stay still. He had been here for several days already and was probably getting incredibly bored.

"Let's wait a few more days, there's no rush now." Lu Zhijin will be staying at the estate for a few more days, so we need to see him off before leaving.

"Okay, then when you're free these next few days, do me a favor."

"What does Yue'er want to do?" Xiao Sining asked Xiao Siyue while looking at the cards in her hand.
