After I went through the book, I criticized the villain but he insisted on pampering me

At this moment, a subtle sound was heard outside the cave, as if someone was pushing aside the grass, with light but slightly tired footsteps.

Chi Rui's dim eyes suddenly lit up with the light of hope, and he stared at the cave entrance.

But I was hoping that the person coming was Su Xueer.

Amidst the interweaving of light and shadow, a strange hunter stepped into the cave. When the hunter saw that he was awake, he said in a rough voice: "You are here indeed."

Chi Rui's heart sank, and the hope that had been burning in his heart quickly died out like a candle in the wind. He stared at the hunter and asked weakly, "You saved me?"

The hunter groaned and did not respond directly. He just walked forward to check his injuries. His rough hands fiddled with the herbs and changed the medicine for him.

The movements seemed unfamiliar, but he was able to accurately find every injury on his body.

According to the depth of the wound, medicine was applied to all of them.

After changing the medicine, he carried Chi Rui out of the cave and brought him back to his home to recuperate.

In the hunter's house, during the days when Chi Rui was recuperating from his injuries, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind and the occasional chirping of birds could be heard.

The hunter was an old bachelor, without a wife, children or parents.

He goes out early and comes back late every day, and no one knows what he is busy with. He always avoids answering Chi Rui's questions.

One day, Chi Rui held on to his body, stopped a hunter who was about to go out, and asked again earnestly: "Brother Fan, can you answer my question today?"

The hunter paused, looking towards the distant mountains for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Forget it, I'll tell you, I saved you only because someone asked me to."

Chi Rui was startled and asked hurriedly, "Who entrusted you with this?"

The hunter, however, kept his lips tightly shut, unwilling to say anything more, and walked around him and went out.

Chi Rui was full of doubts, and kept thinking in his mind how he could ask someone to save him in this remote place.

Could it really be her?

He saved me, but because of what I said when I was patrolling the river ferry, he refused to meet me?

After a few days, Chi Rui's injuries gradually improved and he was able to walk.

He helped the hunter with odd jobs, trying to get closer to him and find out the truth.

That day, the two were repairing farm tools in the yard, and Chi Rui inadvertently talked about the happy times he and Su Xueer had spent in the courtyard.

The hunter paused, looked up at him, his eyes seemed to show reluctance.

From his forbearing gaze, Chi Rui was already certain that it was Su Xueer who saved him.

Just at this moment, there was a noise outside the house and the sound of horse hooves.

Chi Rui went out and looked, and saw Qian Yu and Xue Ling Yu coming.

Qian Yu said anxiously: "Sir, I finally found you."

"Qianyu, how did you find this place?"

"It's a long story."

Qian Yu panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and calmed down, saying, "The young master fell off the cliff that day. Master Wu and I immediately went to the bottom of the cliff to look for him, but we couldn't find him alive or dead. Master Wu concluded that you must be alive. These days, I have been looking for news about you everywhere, but to no avail. A few days ago, I suddenly received an anonymous letter that detailed your approximate location and attached a simple map of the surrounding area. That's why I came here. I didn't expect you to be here."

Chi Rui frowned, thinking to himself, this person who delivered the letter is so familiar with this place, knows that he is in trouble, and does not want to show up, who else could it be but her?

I've done so much for him, but I refuse to see him.

She must hate him.

I hate myself for not believing her.

"Is my master okay? Any news about her?"
