Chapter 190: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 7
The carriage stopped at the gate of the villa. Su Zi wanted to lift the curtain and get off. The courtyard had undergone emergency renovation and had been transformed from a dilapidated courtyard into a livable one.
The servants in the courtyard were all arranged by the mansion. When they saw Su Ziyu coming, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
Su Zi wanted to wave his hand, pretended to tour the yard, and then slowly walked towards the persimmon tree.
The persimmon tree in the yard is full of ripe persimmons. Their orange-red outer coats look like red lanterns hanging on the treetops, which looks very festive.
"Let someone bring a ladder. I want to climb the tree."
Su Zi wanted to take off his cloak and throw it to the green bamboo behind him. He rolled up his sleeves to stretch his muscles and was eager to try.
Although this persimmon tree was planted on his side, half of its branches extended to the next yard. When the time came, he could pretend to slip and fall to the next yard, and then he could naturally get to know the heroine Xin He without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Lvzhu, who was half a step behind, quickly caught the cloak, raised her head to look at the ten-meter-tall persimmon tree, and said worriedly, "You are a noble prince, what if you fall down? Otherwise, I will go up and pick the fruits!"
Su Zi wanted to wave his hand and said, "Don't underestimate your son. I want to give it to my uncle as a thank-you gift. Picking it myself will show my sincerity.
Don't waste time, ask someone to bring a ladder, and bring a basket, tie a rope to it, and when I have picked all the fruits, use the rope to lower the basket down, and you will wait downstairs to receive it."
Lu Zhu tried to persuade him in vain. She watched helplessly as her own prince climbed up the tree along the ladder. She was terrified, fearing that the prince would accidentally step on empty air and fall. "Prince, please go slower and be careful with your steps. Don't be impatient!"
Su Ziyu learned how to climb trees. Soon he used his hands and feet to jump to a height of seven or eight meters. He found a suitable position and as long as he stood on the branch, he could reach the persimmons with his hands.
After standing firmly on his feet, Su Ziyu lowered his head and glanced down. Wow, he didn't feel anything when he was climbing, but now that he was standing here, his hair stood on end.
"I go…"
Su Zi wanted to close his eyes immediately, but then he opened one eye and looked down, not believing it. Suddenly his legs became uncontrollable and his whole body began to tremble slightly.
Oops, I'm actually afraid of heights!!!
Su Ziyu's face was as pale as paper and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He swallowed, slowly sat on the tree branch, and forced himself not to look down.
"Oh my God, why is it so high? Is it too late to go down now?" Su Ziyu said tremblingly.
The system wanted to laugh but held back, [Host, you better sit tight. If you fall, you will be crippled if not dead.]
Su Zi wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did he have to be so stubborn? He should have asked Lu Zhu to come earlier. After all, he had practiced martial arts and should not be afraid of these things.
In order to prevent the servants below from seeing that he was afraid, Su Ziyu took a deep breath to calm himself, untied the rope around his waist, slowly lifted the basket up, and then picked the persimmons at hand in slow motion.
After picking all the persimmons he could reach, he slowly moved his butt outside, wiped the sweat off his face and continued picking. When most of the persimmons were in the basket, he immediately moved back, hugged the trunk tightly and sent the basket down.
When it was time for him to get down from the tree, he didn't have to pretend to have difficulty, because his legs were truly so weak that he couldn't exert any strength at all.
Just at this moment, Qingluo, the maid from the next yard, came out with a basin to pour water. Her face was full of worry. The young lady had been having a fever for almost a day and a night. If it continued like this, she would become stupid.
Not only did the people in the main courtyard refuse to call a doctor, they also wouldn't let her go out. The young lady was already weak, and they were simply trying to force her to death.
Qingluo was indignant and poured the water on the ground. Just as she was about to get another basin of cold water, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow on the tree. When she looked closely, she saw that it was actually a person, a man.
She was so scared that she dropped the basin and immediately yelled at the top of her lungs, "Ah, someone come quickly! Catch the thief!!!"
As she screamed and shouted, Su Ziyu on the tree was so scared that he slipped and fell down.
A few seconds later, a 'bang' was heard in the yard, and Lu Zhu and others on the other side of the wall were frightened.
"My Lord!!!"
"Someone come quickly, the prince fell from the tree."
Everyone was calling for the doctor, some were climbing ladders and some were climbing over walls, and the whole yard was in chaos.
Su Zi was about to fall from a height of several meters. His mind went blank for a moment, and then a piercing pain in his arm brought him back from his state of seeing stars.
"System, normally in this situation, shouldn't someone come to the rescue? Why did I just fall down?"
The system seemed a little helpless, [Dear, you are talking about the treatment that only the protagonist has. Please put yourself in the right position. You are just a small screw on the road to assist the male and female protagonists. ]
Su Zi wanted to curl his lips:…
As expected, he shouldn't have asked. The system's words were as annoying as ever. He slowly sat up from the ground and focused his eyes on the woman who was frozen in place.
Seeing that the other person was dressed simply, Su Ziyu guessed that she should be the heroine's maid. He suppressed the pain and forced a smile, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person."
Unfortunately, his kind smile turned into a ferocious threat in Qingluo's eyes. Her head buzzed and she was completely frightened.
Hearing someone shouting "Young Master" from the other side of the wall, Qingluo's already pale face instantly lost all color. No wonder she often heard the clanging noises next door recently. It turned out that the new neighbor who moved in was actually the Young Master.
When Qingluo thought about such a precious person being scared to the point of falling from the tree, she felt that her life was in danger and burst into tears.
"Qingluo, what happened?"
The crying sound spread into the inner room. Xin He forced himself to get out of bed in a daze, walked to the door with the help of the wall, and saw Qingluo standing in the yard crying loudly. There was a strange man sitting by the wall, and someone else was trying to climb over the wall.
She blinked, her slow brain unable to comprehend the scene she was seeing. Qingluo rushed over, knelt down, hugged her calves and cried bitterly.
"Miss! I caused the prince to fall from the tree. I am afraid I will not be able to continue serving you in the future."
The little maid had a loud voice. Su Ziyu, who had no intention of pursuing the matter, immediately widened his eyes and waved his intact hand, "I didn't, I didn't..."
Xin He was stunned. She raised her hand and clenched her fist to suppress her coughing, helped Qingluo up, and then her eyes fell on Su Ziyu who was not far away.
Seeing that his eyes were clear and bright, he did not look like a treacherous and cunning person, so she bowed slightly to him and said, "My daughter Xin He, on behalf of my maid Qing Luo, would like to thank the prince for his magnanimity."
She still had a fever, her cheeks were red, and her voice was gentle yet low and hoarse.
Su Ziyu met her gaze, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. What a fragile and sickly beauty! He couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"I am Su Ziyu, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. I just moved to the courtyard next door. I was picking persimmons just now and accidentally fell down. I disturbed the young lady's peace. I see that you look not right. Are you feeling unwell?"
Before Xin He could say anything, Lu Zhu was the first to climb over the wall, ran and crawled to help the man up, and said with tears in her eyes: "My Lord, are you okay? Where did you fall? The doctor will be here soon, you must hold on!"
Su Ziyu patted his head and said, "Why are you panicking? I am a very lucky person. When the doctor comes, he will see Miss Xin first. I am fine."
As soon as the big talker Su Ziyu finished speaking, he accidentally moved his hand. He immediately looked horrified in pain and almost cried.
Everyone in the courtyard: …
Su Zi wanted to cry and grumbled, "System, I gave up my arm to treat the heroine, this is a work-related injury!"
System: [Dear host, the system you called is out of service area, please don't try to contact us. ]
