Chapter 758: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 758: Pretending to Faint
As Shu Yu spoke, she glanced at Cheng Dong from the corner of her eye and noticed a slight movement of his head.
He was indeed still awake.
She immediately spoke to Hou Shi with a more serious tone, "Aunt Hou, I need your help to conceal the fact that there's someone in this room. If anyone comes looking for us, no matter who it is, please give us an early warning, alright?"
"Alright, I'll help you with your brother's friend. You can rest assured here. If you need anything, just let me know. Although I haven't been at this post station for long, there are still many things I can decide."
After hearing these words, Shu Yu knew that Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss were doing well in the post station.
She smiled and watched Hou Shi leave.
Then she walked to the bedside and softly called out to Cheng Dong, "Guard Cheng, Guard Cheng?"
Cheng Dong didn't respond, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
But Shu Yu knew that he hadn't. Since he wanted to pretend, she would play along.
She unfolded the blanket at the foot of the bed and gently draped it over his sitting figure. Then she took a closer look at him and said, "I don't know where Guard Cheng is injured and whether it's serious or not. Oh, it's really necessary to see a doctor. The hemostatic medicine left by my brother is effective, but there's not much left."
Shu Yu appeared to be quite worried and spoke in a low voice, "Guard Cheng?"
Seeing that he remained unconscious, she grew concerned and said, "Did something happened?"
She reached out her trembling index finger and tried to feel if he was breathing under his hat.
Only then did Cheng Dong speak up, "I'm fine."
Shu Yu was startled and quickly withdrew her finger, letting out a long breath.
I know you're fine. Your vitality is really strong, even now you're pretending to faint.
Cheng Dong actually wanted to faint, but he didn't dare. He could only pinch his wound repeatedly to keep himself alert.
He told Shu Yu, "Lady Lu, rest assured, my injuries are not serious. I just need to rest more. You should go outside and keep watch."
In the end, he used the hemostatic medicine that Shu Yu had given him. He only had two choices: either bleed to death or trust Shu Yu. He felt that her carriage was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and Shu Yu didn't have the power to prepare problematic hemostatic medicine in advance.
Now that the bleeding had stopped, as long as he rested well, he could regain some strength.
"Alright, if you're fine, then I'll be relieved."
Shu Yu indeed left. She closed the door and sat on a stool outside, keeping watch.
Inside, Cheng Dong struggled for a while before finally losing consciousness.
Shu Yu clearly heard the noise from inside the room, but she didn't move from her position at the door.
Even though he had fainted, someone like Cheng Dong, who was constantly on guard, would still be uneasy even in a state of unconsciousness. If she were to do something to him now, he would instinctively retaliate.
But now that he had fainted, Shu Yu knew about his physical condition.
It seemed that the wounds under his clothes were quite serious.
Hou Shi came over and brought a bowl of noodles for her. "It's already noon. You must be hungry. Eat some noodles to fill your stomach."
"Thank you." Shu Yu smiled and accepted the bowl. She took a
few bites before starting to ask about Hou Shi's life in the post station.
The two of them chatted casually, without mentioning the person in the room.
