In the system of super rich people, handsome men are just tools

Chapter 384 Liu Linzhou, respond to me once.

Liu Linzhou leaned against the stone wall, using his good leg to move along with his injured leg. With each movement, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Lin Xiu simply helped him outside, looking in the opposite direction to survey the surroundings and observe the location.

“We should be in the middle of the mountain range now. Let’s go down the mountain in the opposite direction from where we came from, and look for a stream along the way,” the man said in a low voice after a short while.

People are likely to live where there is water.

"Let's go!" Lin Xiu tied a knot in Liu Linzhou's loose clothes.

Fortunately, the sun was not too strong. The petite woman in the suit carried the tall man on her back as if she were carrying a sack of potatoes through the woods. The man was weak and powerless, while the woman was slightly more energetic.

Carrying Liu Linzhou on her back, Lin Xiu pondered that the first Power Pill would expire tonight, and she didn't know if the remaining one would last until she found him.

Once the Power Pills are used up and there is no food, she will not be able to carry Liu Linzhou by herself.

"Put me down, I'll try to walk around by myself." Liu Linzhou raised his arm to wipe the sweat from Lin Xiu's forehead, his eyes heavy.

Throughout his life, he was accustomed to being selfish and profit-driven.

Knowing that silence is best now, and that her life is more important, he still couldn't bear to see her like this.

She carried him on her back, shouldered him, without saying a single unnecessary word. She remained so silent, as if she could say something like, "He's too heavy."

Lin Xiu, that way I won't have any other thoughts.

"Stop talking nonsense, how far can you go? You're wasting my time." Lin Xiulian had lost all interest in playing games with Liu Linzhou.

Their lives are intertwined; she doesn't know the way, but he does; she still has the strength to save him, but he doesn't, so it's better to be straightforward.

Which direction to go next?

Her voice was irritable, but Liu Linzhou laughed, his laughter hoarse and sickly.

He was certain that he liked her this way—her sharp tongue and undisguised nature.

He lowered his head slightly, resting it on the woman's slender shoulder, and said softly, "The shadow is the shortest, go south."

The southern slopes of the mountains receive ample sunlight and are covered in lush vegetation, which may provide food and water. Water sources, such as streams, make it easier to find areas where people gather.

Maine is a remote and impoverished region, so some primitive techniques still need to be used.

Without asking why, without any questions: "Hold on to me."

As she spoke, Lin Xiu pursed her lips, feeling a little strange as Liu Linzhou's breath was right next to her ear.

The two continued their journey until the sky darkened further. They found a natural cliff with a sloping angle where they could stand, with banana leaves providing shelter above them.

The air was thick with dampness and a chill, making late autumn a difficult season.

Lin Xiu frowned as she looked at the sky outside; there was good news and bad news.

Good news: it's raining. Bad news: I only slept two or three hours yesterday, busy running around and didn't feel the cold, but it's even colder today with the rain. The temperature difference between day and night in the Maine mountains is extreme.

Her body had undergone a system modification; although she was exhausted, the probability of her getting sick was low. But Liu Linzhou…

Looking back at the weak man who had been struggling to stay awake all day, she glanced down at her suit, sighed, and deftly took off her suit jacket before standing in front of Liu Linzhou.

"What are you doing?" Liu Linzhou opened his eyes, his gray-blue eyes falling on the woman's thin dress, which was very thin and had become a short skirt. Her legs were covered with cuts from the grass. "Put it on!" He raised his voice and used more force.

“The night is cold, and if you get sick, none of us will be able to escape,” he said, understanding why Lin Xiu was acting this way.

But the latter completely ignored this command-like statement. What a joke! Even if he were still the seemingly powerful Mr. Liu Lin Xiu in Haishi, let alone now that he was a patient, he wouldn't listen to him.

"I'm fine. If you were sick, you'd be really in trouble."

She draped the clothes over the person and tied a knot with the sleeve. After doing all this, Lin Xiu changed into a banana leaf and hid.

Something is better than nothing; at least it can provide some shelter from the rain!

"You...cough cough." Liu Linzhou tried to speak, but he was too weak to do so.

After days of traveling, the nutrient solution could only maintain his vital signs.

"Please don't speak, Mr. Liu." Lin Xiu closed her eyes to rest.

When it rains, it pours; even drinking water can cause problems. That perfectly describes the two of them.

At night, Liu Linzhou developed a high fever. When Lin Xiu noticed, he was already delirious with fever. To be optimistic, having banana leaves on his head was better than nothing. Helplessly, she could only pick a few banana leaves and cover Liu Linzhou's head with them.

Opening the system panel, the progress bar for rescuing Liu Linzhou remained unchanged.

Looking down at the man's pale face, washed clean by the rain, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, let's try anything."

Based on the few methods she remembered, she cut a large section off Liu Linzhou's trouser leg with a stone, washed the wet fabric twice with the rain, and then took off his tattered white shirt and started wiping him from his neck.

She kept slapping the man's face to prevent him from actually dying.

"Liu Linzhou, stay awake, understand?" she whispered.

Born into an unwelcome family, he rose to prominence as a child and became a powerful heir, eventually gaining control of a region in his youth...

Bloodshed and cruelty flashed through Liu Linzhou's mind like a revolving lantern. As he felt feverish, distant memories desperately swept over his mind.

Cold and heat swept over every part of my body.

He thought that his life might end like this, born in the mud and dying in the mud.

I'm not reconciled...

Just as consciousness was fading away, a familiar voice entered my ears, like an ancient call.

"It's so hot, give me a response." The voice came again.

"I...."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, just hum." The woman's tone was tinged with worry, and then he felt a warm embrace.

A light rain pattered against her body. Liu Linzhou groggily struggled to open her eyes and met a face soaked by the rain. She was very anxious and kept repeating emergency treatments.

So, you were there after all! He was still unwilling to give up.

Hearing Liu Linzhou's response, Lin Xiu felt relieved. As long as he hadn't completely lost consciousness from the fever, it was fine. She hugged him and tried to feed him water with a banana leaf.

Water dripped from the corner of the man's mouth.

"Liu Linzhou, you're such a nuisance." Looking at the weak man, she sighed softly, raised her hand to drink some rainwater, and bent down.

A warm touch pressed against his lips, and the man's fingers on the ground twitched slightly.

Lin Xiu went to great lengths to save Liu Linzhou's life that night, muttering a lot of things to herself, afraid that he might fall asleep.

She noticed that Chuck's name elicited the strongest reaction.

It seems that Chuck won't have much time left after escaping from here.

The rain stopped in the early morning, and Liu Linzhou's high fever subsided considerably. His fair skin was slightly flushed from the heat, and Lin Xiu's legs also went numb.

When the man opened his eyes, he couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Liu, you'd better remember who saved your life."

"I dare not forget."

Liu Linzhou stared at the woman in front of him, his voice firm and earnest.

He could feel it last night...
