Chapter 278

278 Fake Death

Mo Ruyue didn’t let Tang Tang prepare the last bowl of medicine. Instead, she sent them to bed early. She quickly prepared the medicinal spring water in the space and brought it to the man’s room.

For the entire day, it was as if there was no one in the room. It was unbelievably quiet. Even if Mo Ruyue listened carefully, she couldn’t hear the man’s breathing.

At one point, she thought that he had some sudden complications and died suddenly. However, when she entered the room, she saw that the man was really in a state of suspended animation.

Under such circumstances, a person’s heart rate would drop to the lowest, and their breathing would also become slow and long. If it was not carefully examined, it would not be detected at all.

!!

Mo Ruyue had once read about this kind of suspended animation in an ancient book. It was called “turtle breathing technique”, and it was a method that imitated the sleeping of turtles to reduce the exhaustion of the body.

If she used this method, she might be able to speed up his recovery. It seemed that this man also wanted to recover as soon as possible and leave this place.

When Mo Ruyue entered the room with the bowl of medicine, she keenly noticed that the man’s breathing seemed to have gotten heavier. She turned to look at the bed and happened to meet a pair of cold eyes.

“You’re awake. I saw you sleeping during dinner, so I didn’t wake you up. Do you want to eat something first?”

Mo Ruyue walked to the bedside and put down the bowl of medicine. She was not in a hurry to light the oil lamp. Even if it was dark, she could accurately change all the medicine for him.

“I’m not hungry.”

The man replied briefly.

“The dishes are all stewed in a pot. You don’t have to think that it will trouble me. The most troublesome thing is for you to recover quickly and leave. ”

Mo Ruyue said without any trace of politeness.

Although this man hadn’t done anything to harm her or the babies, his existence was already a dangerous hidden danger.

The two times they had met, both times, he had almost stepped into a life and death situation. Who knew if there was someone following him behind, or if he would bring them some life and death disaster?

“Alright, I’ll eat.”

The man replied again.

It was rare for him to have such a good temper and patience, especially to someone other than Mei ‘Er. This was something incredible to him.

Perhaps it was because this woman had saved him twice in a row, and she gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

He could only give himself this explanation in his heart.

Mo Ruyue first made an excuse to go to the kitchen, but in reality, she went into the interspace and filled a bowl with the chicken soup that was stewed in the claypot. She had also added some nutritious tonics to it, all of which were good things that could help him recover his strength as soon as possible.

The man in black didn’t say a word of nonsense. When he was told to eat, he gobbled up the entire bowl of chicken soup and the chicken meat inside. He even chewed and ate all the tonics that could be eaten.

Mo Ruyue waited until he finished eating before she started to change his medicine.

Perhaps it was because of the spring water and the man’s strong recovery ability, but even though it had only been a day and a night, the man’s minor injuries had already healed.

As for the wound that had almost cut him in half, it had already begun to heal.

At this rate, he might be able to leave the day after tomorrow.

Mo Ruyue calculated in her heart.

“Tomorrow night, prepare the last medicine for me and I’ll leave immediately.”

The man seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He took the initiative to say that he wanted to leave and even moved the time forward to tomorrow night.

“Although I really want you to leave now, these two days won’t make a difference. The hole in your shoulder will only heal the day after tomorrow. I don’t want you to have the chance to come back halfway.”

Although Mo Ruyue’s words were unpleasant to hear, it was also to make the man’s injuries better.

The black clothed man didn’t say anything and just cooperated with Mo Ruyue to change the medicine. Then, he lay down and slowly entered the state of turtle breathing.

Mo Ruyue tidied up the medicine and soup bowls. Just as she was about to leave the room, her vision suddenly turned black. An intense pain seemed to penetrate her head in an instant, and she immediately fell unconscious.

The flow of time seemed to slow down. Mo Ruyue couldn’t see anything, but she could feel that she was falling at an extremely slow speed.

The space around her seemed to have twisted into a circular passage, showing a strange scene. If one looked carefully, one would see that it was a piece of continuous flashing scene put together. Not only did it have the memories of her previous life, but it also had many things she had experienced in this life.

In the process of falling, Mo Ruyue still had the mood to get closer to those twisted memory fragments and take a good look. However, before she could get close, she was pushed out of the passage by a huge repulsive force.

As soon as she fell out of the distorted space, Mo Ruyue’s falling speed suddenly became dozens of times faster. She twisted her body slightly and relied on the powerful core force to forcefully stabilize her lost center of gravity.

Although she had avoided the pain of falling, the bowl in her hand had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, she was not too high up from the ground, so even if the bowl fell, it did not shatter.

Mo Ruyue picked up the bowl again and subconsciously looked at the man in black lying on the bed.

He was still in a deep sleep under the effects of the turtle breathing technique. His breathing was long and slow, and there was no sign of him waking up.

Mo Ruyue reached out and touched his forehead, but she didn’t feel any wound. The door was still closed, and there was no damage on it.

“Strange. Was it my illusion just now?”

She mumbled to herself in confusion.

The excruciating pain she had just experienced was like being shot. She even treated her experience in the space channel as a near-death experience.

But obviously, she had not been shot at all, let alone have any near-death experience. However, the pain was so clear and deep that it did not seem like an illusion.

Mo Ruyue was a little regretful that she didn’t take a closer look at the memory fragments in the space tunnel. Perhaps there were some hints among them, but she had ignored them.

There was no use in continuing to dwell on the past. Mo Ruyue quickly adjusted her emotions and left the black clothed man’s room.

Not long after she left, the man, who had his eyes closed as if he was feigning death, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest hint of sleepiness, as if he had not fallen asleep at all.

He looked in the direction of the door, a trace of doubt in his eyes.

“What happened to Lady Qin just now?”

He originally wanted to pretend to be in a state of suspended animation so that Mo Ruyue could leave without worry. He didn’t expect to see her suddenly fall to the side as if she had suddenly fainted.

In a moment of desperation, he didn’t care that his wound would open and wanted to get up. He didn’t know why he didn’t want her to fall on the cold ground like that.
