pain!
Uncomfortable!
This was Shen Tang’s first feeling.
Headache, hand pain, back pain, leg pain, foot pain...
There was no part of my body that didn't hurt.
As she regained consciousness, it was as if every cell in her body was protesting against her. She took a deep breath, and the strong smell of earth and blood rushed into her nose. She frowned slightly, her temples throbbing with pain, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The scene of Shen Tang falling to the ground was too unexpected. Zhai Le only had time to distract himself and order two black-armored soldiers to assist the guards to prevent the swords from hurting people in the melee. Qi Shan was angry and amused. Who would have thought that she would do such a thing out of the blue
As soon as I got closer, I heard Shen Tang cursing.
"G-where am I?"
As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself face down, with half of her face buried in a puddle of mud and her cheeks stained with mud. She raised her hand and wiped it, and her palm was bloody. Only then did she realize that it was not a puddle of mud, but a "blood puddle" of blood!
He sat up with difficulty, raised his head and looked around.
The firelight reflected into her eyes. Most of the houses in the mountains were destroyed in the blaze. Everywhere she looked was a body of broken limbs and corpses. The bodies were scattered all over the ground, and blood was still flowing from the wounds. As expected, a fierce fight broke out here not long ago.
There were constant shouts of killing all around.
This scene made Shen Tang wonder if he had traveled through time again, and had traveled to a battlefield of a small-scale encounter.
No wonder she had such imagination.
She clearly remembered that she was in the corridor of a private house not long ago, enjoying the moon, drinking, and drying her hair. How come she was in an unfamiliar valley after closing her eyes and opening them again? And there were soldiers in red and black armor fighting each other around her
The only thing she could be thankful for was that the soldiers' attention was not on her, otherwise it would be dangerous if any of them targeted her.
"Shen Wulang, Shen Xiaolangjun—"
At this time, a familiar male voice came to Shen Tang's ears.
I looked up and saw a familiar face.
Xinxi asked: "Yuanliang! Why are you here?"
Qishan: “…”
With just one simple sentence, he was blocked from saying anything sarcastic. Instead of irritating others, he ended up feeling suffocated.
What qualifications does Shen Tang have to ask him this question
Why is he here in the middle of the night
Doesn't Mr. Shen have any idea at all
Qi Shan smiled kindly and asked Shen Tang softly, "Young Master Shen, do you still remember what you did before?"
Shen Tang: “…”
Although she was confused, her intuition told her that Qi Shan's smile was creepy and definitely not a good intention. As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Shan's smile became even brighter. She felt a slight electric shock and numbness on her scalp, and her whole body became unnatural.
Shen Tang said timidly: "...I don't know."
He hesitated again: "What did I do?"
"What did you do?" Qi Shan almost gnashed his teeth, "You first ran all the way to the center of Xiaocheng government office, and then ran all the way out of Xiaocheng, and dived into the deep mountains and old forests more than 20 miles away. Shen Youli, Shen Youli, you are really good at running!"
Shen Tang: “…”
"Other people drink and at most act crazy and say some crazy things. But when you drink, you will pick up a sword and kill anyone you catch, right?"
Shen Tang, who was being lectured, said: "…"
She blinked blankly and innocently - and then she realized that she had contributed to this masterpiece.
"I didn't mean to..."
As a homely painter, she knew that she couldn't drink much, but she never expected that a bowl of Du Kang wine could knock her down, and then she would go crazy and kill people with a sword. Seeing Qi Shan's worry under his anger, she was embarrassed and ashamed, and she wanted to hit her head on the ground.
Qi Shan's anger was like a punctured balloon, and it was completely deflated. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Don't drink too much in the future."
It would be fine if Mr. Shen didn't bother others when he drank, but it was others who suffered, so he would stop him no matter what.
Shen Tang: “Oh.”
Without their leader, the red-armored soldiers were like headless flies. They were soon devoured by the black-armored soldiers, and the shouts of killing gradually stopped. Zhai Le took back the Wudan Tiger Talisman, dragged the seriously injured "thief" with one hand and walked to Shen Tang. His bright peach blossom eyes flashed with a smile as if he was seeking credit. He called out loudly: "Brother Shen, I brought you this little thief who stole your treasure!"
Shen Tang was full of question marks: "Huh???"
Qi Shan glanced at the "thief" expressionlessly.
Is this the "thief" that Shen Xiaolangjun wanted to catch after getting drunk and running for more than 20 miles with a sword in hand? I guess he was caught by accident... Well, that's not the case. If Shen Xiaolangjun hadn't run into him by accident, he would have died!
Thinking of this, Qishan’s eyes sank slightly.
How could an ordinary person attract such a level of pursuit? An eighth-rank official is not a cabbage in the field that can be found everywhere. If he were in the army, he would be a general who could lead 3,000 to 5,000 troops. To let such a powerful person come out to hunt...
He rubbed his lower eyelids slightly to hide his deep thoughts, vaguely guessing something.
And the "thief" mentioned by Zhai Le...
He was seriously injured and almost fainted, but he was shocked by these words. Even the thick layer of blood stains could not hide the confusion on his face. He didn't know when he became a "thief". He was sure that he didn't "steal" Shen Tang's things, but he did have a treasure.
His muscles were tense and he was on guard.
Shen Tang looked puzzled and asked Zhai Le: "What thief?"
Zhai Le was also stumped by her question, and pointed at the "thief" and raised his voice: "Didn't Brother Shen say that this person stole your treasures?"
Shen Tang: “…”
She is not, she didn’t, don’t accuse a good person!
Facing the gazes of three pairs of eyes, Shen Tang took a step back, lacking confidence: "I, I was drunk before..."
Therefore, whatever she did has nothing to do with her!
For a moment, the atmosphere was so awkward that one wanted to dig a three-bedroom, one-living-room house out of the place with one's toes. Shen Tang looked down and saw that his clogs were still inside out. While no one was paying attention to this detail, he quietly took off his clogs and put them back on, pretending that nothing had happened.
Hearing these words, the "thief" secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine if it's not directed at him...
Because they were in such a mess, Shen Tang and his companions did not want to return to Xiaocheng in this state, so they planned to spend the night outdoors and take the seriously injured "thief" to the stream downstream of the residential areas to treat his wounds and clean stains.
Because he only had one nightgown, Shen Tang could only wash his face hastily. It was just after midsummer and not yet autumn, and the air was still hot and humid, as if there was an invisible force pressing on his chest, and the blood, mud and dirt stuck to his skin, making Shen Tang feel uncomfortable all over.
"I'll go chop some wood."
There is still unburned firewood in the houses.
After a short rest, the weakness when I just woke up has faded away. Shen Tang picked up the motherly sword to chop wood, Zhai Le was tricked by her into digging a pit to bury the body, and Qi Shan was responsible for taking care of the seriously injured "thief". The conditions in the wild are limited, so the wound can only be treated simply. But with the recovery ability of the ninth-rank fifth doctor, he will be able to recover in seven or eight days.
"Thank you three heroes for your rescue."
