Chapter 473
Alyssa leaned against Karl’s arms, with one arm hanging weakly on one side, and the other arm barely lifted up to grab the corner of his clothes.
Although Karl was covered with mud, Alyssa couldn’t bear to rub it in his arms.
A heart settled down like that.
Rarely, Karl didn’t say anything bad, let her rub in his arms, and didn’t push her away.
After a few seconds, Alyssa said, “I can go, but I need to rest.”
Her body is too stiff, she has to move around.
When Karl heard this, he looked down at her.
Alyssa also raised her eyes to look at him, curled her lips, and smiled at him.
The smile is tenderness he has never seen before.
Karl’s eyebrows tightened, and he reached out to touch Alyssa’s forehead.
Only when his hand touched Alyssa’s forehead, he was shrunk by the heat from her forehead.
He put it on Alyssa’s forehead to test the temperature, then put it on his forehead to feel the temperature, and calmly said, “You have a fever.”
“Really?” Alyssa said, and reached out to touch her forehead: “No wonder I feel a little hot.”
Her voice was already very weak, tilting her head and leaning against Karl’s arms, she didn’t have any strength at all.
Karl’s frowning brows never let go.
He held Alyssa with one hand, and said solemnly: “Stand steady.”
Immediately, he squatted down and took Alyssa’s hand to let her hug his neck.
With no energy, Alyssa fell on her back softly while holding his neck, her voice was a little confused: “Are you going to carry me? But I seem to have gained a little weight recently and will be a little heavier… …”
Karl ignored her nonsense, and walked forward behind her back.
Before he took a few steps, he heard Alyssa asking him: “Am I heavy?”
Karl replied coldly, “It’s not heavy.”
Not only is she not heavy, she is also very light.
If she gets fatter, she should be more pleasing to the eye.
“Oh, that’s good…” The ending sound became extremely low, until it was muted.
Fortunately, the road conditions on this section of the road were better and better than the section where Karl had come over.
But it didn’t get any better.
On the dirt-mud road in the countryside, when it rains, one foot is muddy, one deep and one shallow, with a person on his back. No matter how physically strong, Karl walks for a long time, he can’t bear it.
What’s more, the woman on his back still talks nonsense from time to time.
“Am I heavy?”
Karl no longer remembers how many times she asked this question.
He said in a calm voice: “It’s very heavy, so you’d better shut up and stop talking from now on.”
“Oh.” Alyssa was so bewildered that she really didn’t speak anymore after responding.
And Karl also felt that Alyssa’s body temperature was getting higher and higher.
Can’t let her burn down like this, find a place to rest and see a doctor.
but……
Karl raised his eyes and saw that the distance was either dense forest or mud.
don’t know how long they have been walking, there are houses in the woods on the roadside.
Karl looked for a moment, then walked over with Alyssa on his back.
It was a tiled house made of blue bricks. It was extremely simple, but for them at this time, it was already an excellent habitat.
The door is open.
Karl walked to the door with Alyssa on his back, and saw an old man over half a hundred years old sitting on a chair, holding a fish and teasing a cat.
Hearing the movement, the old man raised his head and looked over, squinting his eyes and asked, “What is it for?”
“I encountered a landslide, stay overnight.” Karl said very concisely.
But the old man does not understand the language, and only speaks in bits.
Karl failed to communicate with him.
But fortunately, the old man was kind-hearted. Seeing him and Alyssa so embarrassed, he probably guessed what happened to them, so he asked them to go in.
Although the old man’s house is very simple, but the house is exceptionally clean.
The old man took him to the kitchen, pointed at the water tank, and then at the big iron pot, indicating that if they wanted to take a bath, they would boil water.
Heated a bucket of water to Karl and the others, the old man went to find two sets of his own clothes for Karl, and then went back to the previous room and continued to tease the cat.
Karl glanced in the direction where the old man was leaving, put Alyssa on the stool and sat down, patted her face, and called her name: “Alyssa, wake up.”
Alyssa reluctantly opened her eyes and saw that the person in front of her was Karl, and only said, “So sleepy.”
Then she closed his eyes again and fell asleep peacefully.
Just rest assured of him?
Karl took a deep breath and threatened her: “Alyssa, you’d better open your eyes and take a bath yourself, or I will just throw you here.”
Alyssa, who was threatened by him, reluctantly opened her eyes: “You won’t leave me…so sleepy…you help me wash…”
Karl’s complexion changed again, and in the end he could only compromise.
If Alyssa looks like this, if she doesn’t take a bath and think of a way to reduce her fever, it will really burn her brain.
In Karl’s current memory, there is no memory of waiting for a woman to take a bath.
But when he stretched out his hand to peel off Alyssa’s clothes and helped her take a shower, his movements were smooth and skillful, as if he had done this before…
Karl paused slightly.
What magic power does this woman have, he has done this for her before?
As the mud on her body gradually washed away, the white skin on her body was also revealed inch by inch.
Her skin is very white, pale and dazzling.
Karl felt a little anger rising, frowned and glanced away from her, but the touch on his hand was particularly obvious.
To a woman with such a high fever, he can even react!
Karl gritted his teeth to help her finish the bath, glanced at the clothes the old man brought them, and silently took off his coat, took off his shirt and put it on for Alyssa.
It didn’t rain much along the way, his coat was all mud, but his shirt was still clean.
He hugged Alyssa to the room, came out and took a hurried cold shower, then washed Alyssa’s clothes and took them to the room to dry.
He doesn’t know how to wash clothes by hand, but he can still do it by washing off the mud.
The room the old man arranged for them was on the second floor, and the old man lived on the first floor if he had trouble with his legs.
When Karl put Alyssa into the room and came out, he saw the old man climbing up the stairs with the handrail at the top of the stairs.
The old man was holding a wet towel in his hand and a bottle of wine in the other.
Karl realized that the old man was a little lame.
He raised his foot downstairs, walked to the old man and took the things over: “Thank you.”
The old man spoke slowly: “Take one to cool down your wife. There is no place to see a doctor in this weather.”
This time, Karl could vaguely understand some of his words.
He faintly responded: “Yeah.”
The old man nodded and went downstairs again.
The cat followed.
Chapter 474
Karl returned to the room with the liquor and towel the old man gave him.
When he entered, Alyssa didn’t know when to get up and sat on the bed in a daze.
Because of her fever, her complexion was a little red, her brows were frowning, and her eyes were filled with mist.
When Karl came in, she frowned vigorously before squinting to recognize him.
When he approached, Alyssa said, “Where have you been?”
Her tone was a little slow, sounding pitiful.
Karl sat down by the bed, she was wearing only one of his shirts, and when he lowered his eyes, he could see her smooth and white legs.
It’s really burnt.
Karl pulled the quilt to cover her, and said coldly, “Lie down.”
Alyssa curled her lips and refused, “No.”
She had already burnt a little delirious right now, no matter what Karl said, she only felt that his tone was so fierce, she would definitely not follow it.
Karl stared at her for a few seconds, seeming to see the thoughts in her heart, frowned slightly, his tone softened a little, and repeated: “Lie back.”
“Oh.” Alyssa was very cooperative this time.
But at this time, she had lost weight, and after hearing Karl’s words, she fell straight back.
Fortunately, Karl quickly caught her with eyesight and hands.
She was so burnt that she was weak, and Karl supported her shoulders and put her on the bed with ease.
Reached out and poked her forehead, which was very hot.
Karl unscrewed the white wine and took a look, then put it back.
Liquor can physically cool down, but it is better to use less.
Karl put a wet towel on Alyssa’s forehead, tucked the quilt corner for her, and turned around and went downstairs.
The old man sat at the door holding the cat, holding a long cigarette stick in his hand, and was putting a few pieces of tobacco into it to light it.
What he smokes is the kind of cigarettes he grows in his own home, unprocessed, and the smell of tobacco is a bit pungent.
Karl’s brows moved imperceptibly, and walked to sit down opposite the old man.
The old man handed the cigarette stick to Karl, “Come on?”
Karl said quietly: “No.”
“How is the lady?” The old man seemed to just ask casually. After taking a very enjoyable sip, he asked aloud.
Karl’s expression remained unchanged: “She’s okay.”
“Oh, you are from the city, what are you doing here?” The old man knocked on his cigarette and looked up at him.
Karl answered very simply: “Something is going on.”
The old man probably also saw that Karl was not a talkative person, so he didn’t ask more, but started to look at Karl.
The man in front of him was very tall, with deep eyebrows and strong heroic spirit. The rough clothes on him couldn’t hide the noble spirit on his body. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.
…
When Alyssa woke up, it was dim in sight.
She opened her eyes for a while to adjust, and then vaguely saw the furnishings in the room.
Above her head is not the ceiling that she would see every morning when she wakes up, but the solid wood beams and blue tiles.
There were no other decorations in the room. She lay on the bed and looked out, but only saw something similar to a cabinet, and there was still a damp smell of wood in the room.
After the senses returned, she felt the towel on her forehead.
The towel has been half dried by her body temperature.
She remembered that it seemed that Karl had come to her!
Alyssa suddenly turned over and sat up, her head dizzy, she eased for a few seconds before getting out of bed and walking towards the door.
Open the door, she can see the stairs, and the old man’s intermittent voices can be heard from downstairs, and a young man’s voice is mixed in it.
Alyssa stood at the door and listened for a while, and found that the old man had spoken a long time before the young man responded briefly.
Although it was only a brief response, Alyssa could also hear Karl’s voice.
She was overjoyed and was about to go downstairs.
After walking two steps forward, she realized that she was only wearing a shirt at this time, and quickly returned to the room and found the light switch by the door.
She pressed the switch, but there was no light in the room.
power cut.
With such heavy rains and serious mudslides in the past few days, the power outage is reasonable.
There were not many things in the room, and she fumbled around and found there was no clothes at all.
Alyssa had to return to the bed, waiting for Karl to come up.
Fortunately, Karl did not let her stay for long.
She sat on the bed for less than ten minutes before she heard the footsteps of someone going upstairs.
Steady footsteps is Karl.
Sure enough, after a while, Karl opened the door and walked in. He held a candle in one hand and Alyssa’s clothes in the other.
The orange-yellow candlelight lit up the dim room, and Alyssa saw Karl’s face as soon as she raised her eyes.
She cried out in surprise, “Karl!”
Karl didn’t speak, and walked to the bed with the candle, put the clothes in his hand on the bed, and reached out to touch her forehead.
Confirming that her forehead is not as hot as before, he stood up.
Only then did Alyssa notice the clothes that Karl was wearing.
He wears military-green overalls, a bit like the clothes worn by people in the 90s on TV, and looks like a sense of age.
But Karl was Karl, even if he was wearing a piece of rag, he was still Mr. Adams exuding noble aura.
Karl lowered his eyes. Seeing Alyssa staring at him nicely, he frowned and said, “Put it on.”
Alyssa reached out and took the clothes, smelling a smell of smoke, and guessed that Karl must have dried the clothes for her.
After all, there is no dryer in this kind of place.
Alyssa looked at her clothes, then at Karl: “You turn around.”
Karl raised his eyebrows to look at her: “When you asked me to help you take a bath, I s@w everything.”
“…”
At this time, Karl added another sentence: “It’s nothing good.”
Alyssa pursed her lips, glared at him, opened the quilt and began to change clothes.
And Karl actually stared straight at her, while sh3 changed clothes, without even moving his eyes.
Alyssa felt that the temperature she had just dropped had risen again.
After Karl watched her change clothes, her face was already burning like a fire.
Alyssa feels that no matter what happens to a person’s memory, he is still shameless when it comes to these affairs.
She rolled over and got out of bed, looking at him provocatively: “Are you responsible for watching me all the time?”
Karl snorted coldly: “Because of you, I am trapped in this kind of place. Are you not responsible? Do you know how much work will accumulate for Adams Group if I stay sleepy for a day?”
The touches in Alyssa’s heart were washed away by his words in an instant.
She gritted her teeth and her tone was not very good: “Then why would you come? Why are you here?”
