Chapter 251: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket and Empty Game
Chapter 251: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket and Empty Game
Liancheng doesn't know any martial arts, or what he knows is just a little bit of kung fu.
Furthermore, he never expected that someone on the other side was faking his death or pretending to be unconscious, and he never expected that the person who claimed to catch him would actually want his life.
Therefore, at that moment, Liancheng was unable to react in time.
As Meng Kuo was a famous general under Xiao Tingshan in his previous life, his movements were naturally fierce and neat, and he was extremely quick and decisive!
A gleam of excitement flashed in Xiao Tingshan's warm eyes. It was obvious that he had been planning carefully and waiting for this moment!
Xiao Tingshan calculated the time, and when the knife tip was close, he threw himself in front of Liancheng and said, "Sir, be careful!"
But in a flash, a slender white figure appeared and moved faster than him.
Shen Shuyi didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed Xiao Tingshan's collar without hesitation and pulled him over to block Liancheng.
Immediately, the originally weak and gentle young man from a noble family became the unlucky and pitiful scapegoat.
The knife penetrated deeply into Xiao Tingshan's chest.
'Poof!'
The sound of the knife tip penetrating into the flesh seemed to be magnified countless times in the silent and empty valley. The ring on Meng Tian's knife handle hit the cold blade, making a metallic roar.
In an instant, blood flowed out from the tip of the knife.
Because he was close, Shen Shuyi could clearly see the shock in Meng Tian's eyes, as well as that momentary distraction.
Xiao Tingshan never expected that his painstaking plan would fail at the last moment!
Severe pain spread in his chest, and Xiao Tingshan stared at the girl in front of him who was as cold and white as jade, his eyes full of disbelief.
Shen Shuyi looked at him with a fake smile and said insincerely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, it's just a coincidence."
“Young Master!!!” Song Ren came to his senses, screamed and rushed forward, his eyes bloodshot.
Lian Cheng had never expected this to happen, and immediately a pill was ejected towards Meng Kuo.
Meng Kuo quickly held his breath, and seeing that the situation was hopeless, he drew out his knife, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the forest as a shadow.
As the long sword was pulled out, blood gushed out of Xiao Tingshan's wound.
Shen Shuyi let go immediately, and Song Bai and Song Ren quickly laid him flat on the ground, took out some medicine and sprinkled it on his wound to stop the bleeding.
Xiao Tingshan was still staring at Shen Shuyi's direction, with shock and unwillingness in his eyes.
She is a woman...how dare she!
How can one be so decisive and ruthless!
Isn't she afraid that people will poke holes in her spine by acting like this?
Shen Shuyi neither avoided nor retreated, but met Xiao Tingshan's gaze, her almond-shaped eyes clear and cold, without any panic or guilt.
Xiao Tingshan spat out a mouthful of blood and his vision became blurred.
Shen Shuyi...Shen Shuyi!
Shen Shuyi curled the corner of his lips, feeling that this was truly a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution.
In her previous life, she blocked a fatal knife for Xiao Tingshan and was wounded in the heart. If Liancheng had not spent a lot of effort to save her, she probably would not have survived that year.
But in the end, what did she get?
Lou Yulan said he disliked her ugly scar.
I wonder if he will despise himself in this life?
Perhaps because Xiao Tingshan was in poor health, Songren and Songbai brought a lot of pills with them, and they poured out a lot of them and fed them all into Xiao Tingshan's mouth.
Liancheng squatted down and took his pulse.
Songbai cried, "Sir, how is my son's injury?"
Lian Cheng frowned, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "It was only half an inch away from the heart, which is lucky. He took the ginseng pills and medicine that can replenish blood, replenish qi, promote the production of body fluids and prolong life. His life is temporarily safe."
After hearing this, Songbai sat down on the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't feel disappointed about this.
After all, she never thought that Xiao Tingshan would die so easily. Sometimes, people have to live longer to experience what pain is.
Song Ren came back to his senses, looked up at Shen Shuyi, and said angrily: "Miss Shen! Our master has no grudge against you, how can you pull others in front of you to block the knife in order to protect yourself!"
"What you did is no different from murder! How could there be a woman as cruel and ruthless as you in the world?"
After Song Ren finished speaking, Lian Cheng also looked up at Shen Shuyi. There was less warmth in his eyes than before, and more displeasure.
Obviously, although Liancheng no longer saves people, he was once a good doctor who saved lives.
Even if I stop now, I definitely cannot tolerate others taking human lives lightly.
Shen Shuyi looked calm and unhurried: "This sounds strange, why don't you blame the ruthlessness of these assassins, but blame me, a weak woman."
Pine, cypress and pine nuts are all very angry, but a weak woman?
But looking at her calm expression, how could she look weak at all?
Even though he doesn't know martial arts, he is many times stronger than their young master!
Jinzhu couldn't bear to see this, so she stood in front of Shen Shuyi and said, "Since you are so loyal to your master, why didn't you stand in front of him when the incident happened? If you had protected Master Song, how could he have been injured?"
"You are simply confusing right and wrong! You are making up stories. How can there be such cruel women like you in the world?" Song Ren was so angry that he was shaking all over and his eyes were red.
After saying that, Song Ren turned to look at Lian Cheng and said anxiously, "Sir, why do you favor such a person, but treat our young master with such coldness? What's the reason for this!"
Liancheng remained silent, but it was obvious that Shen Shuyi's behavior was also difficult for him to accept.
"Ms. Shen, I can walk the rest of the way by myself. There's no need to see me off." Lian Cheng spoke to Shen Shuyi in a deep voice, his attitude much more distant than before.
Yuping and Jinzhu looked anxious, but Shen Shuyi looked calm.
"Take care, sir." Shen Shuyi stopped and didn't force him.
Lian Cheng nodded and said to Song Ren and Song Bai, "I advise you to send Master Song down the mountain as soon as possible. He already has an old illness and now he has been stabbed. It's best to treat him as soon as possible."
"Sir... It will take at least an hour to get to the foot of the mountain from here. If the young master's injury is delayed until we return home, who knows what will happen. There is no doctor in this desolate mountain right now. Please save his life!"
After saying that, Song Ren knelt on the ground and started to kowtow.
Lian Cheng's eyes were gloomy and his voice was hoarse: "Do as I say, go down the mountain now, his life will be safe."
After saying this, he no longer cared about the few people. With one hand supporting himself with a stick he had picked up along the way, he walked past several corpses and continued walking up the mountain, kneeling as he took one step.
Liancheng’s back was getting smaller and smaller. Songbai and Songren glared at Shen Shuyi, as if they wanted to cut her into pieces.
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Tingshan who was supported in Songbai's arms, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Song, I heard that if people give up halfway on the mountain road to Huguo Temple, then their wishes will be in vain."
"It seems that Mr. Song's hope is destined to be in vain."
Xiao Tingshan's consciousness was in a state of confusion and he only felt a clear and cold fragrance flowing into his nostrils.
Then, the girl's clean voice sounded, and every word fell into his ears.
