Chapter 14 Yecheng (III)

Back to Ronghua Temple has been evening, the Buddha Hall has finished the evening class, Jingduan master is waiting for Lin Nuan them back in the squatter's room, but unexpectedly waited for not only the three of them back there is a blood covered Yin Ruotang.

Seeing this, Master Pure Dust also knew that something big had happened, so she asked, "Xi'er, what's going on?"

"Someone was trying to kill me, and it was brother Yin who was injured on my behalf. I brought him back, please don't be offended, Auntie." Lin Nuan looked in Yin Ruotang's direction.

Yin Ruotang was lying on the bed, the arrow did not penetrate deeply into the skin, but bled a lot. Somehow, to see Yin Ruotang hurt so badly, Lin Nuan's heart seized for no reason, after answering the aunt's words, she was busy calling Ying Yun Ying He to get some clean water.

"Although it is obvious that few men live in the nunnery, there are exceptions to the rule. Mr. Yin saved Xi'er's life, so he can rest assured that he can recuperate here." Master Pure Dust said.

Although Yin Ruotang's injuries were not light, he was conscious, so he performed a cupped fist salute on the bed and thanked, "If I venture back, I'm afraid I'll disturb my father and will stay here for a few days, thank you for accepting Shidai's stay!"

Master Pure Dust turned to Lin Nuan again and asked, "How could a girl like you have enemies? Do you know who wants you dead?"

"The man who shot the arrows had his face covered, so I couldn't really see him, but I guessed that the day that killed me today was the one who caused my mother's life that day."

"The matter of your mother's death elder brother said in the letter, but only said that your mother died in childbirth, I didn't realize there was a hidden agenda! Innocent people's lives were harmed because of the competition for favor! Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha!"

Ying Yun Ying He's hands and feet are nimble, is talking, then hit back the water.

Although Lin Nuan had been talking to Master Pure Dust, her gaze had not left Yin Ruotang's body for a moment, her concern for him was beyond the norm, even she herself was surprised, but Lin Nuan felt that the heart in her chest was not under her control.

"Mr. Yin, let Ying Yun and Ying He treat your wounds! If you don't mind, take off your clothes first." Master Pure Dust said softly as she saw that she had already beaten back the clear water and prepared the knives, scissors, and candles.

"No! Brother Yin was injured for me, I'll get his injuries!" Lin Nuan shocked herself when she finished speaking.

Master Pure Dust also guessed a thing or two from Lin Nuan's concerned demeanor towards Yin Ruotang, so she didn't make a sound and just nodded.

But Yin Ruotang, after all, received the traditional etiquette, Lin Nuan does not scoop up the salute, but he has to scoop up the salute, so he said:

"There's no harm, I'll just take care of it myself later. Sister Cee and the senior mistress both go back to rest!"

"How do you handle yourself? Your injury is on your back." Saying that, Lin Nuan went to strip Yin Ruotang's clothes, Lin Nuan's eagerness and overzealous behavior had really shocked herself, but the thumping heart in her chest was just uncontrollable.

Lin Nuan understood that it was the owner of this body, Hu Yuanxi, who was worried about Yin Ruotang, in that case, she would let her go! Around the same time, she would eventually participate in the draft, and the two of them would not be able to be together.

South Street and Ronghua Temple is not close, all the way back, the climate outside and extremely cold, the blood has long been solidified, but also with the clothes sticking, can not take off the coat, so had to bring scissors to open the clothes.

There was only one arrow on Duke Yin's back, and after breaking it the arrowhead was already deeply embedded in the flesh. There was nothing peculiar from the appearance, but if one looked closely, one would realize that this arrowhead was unusual, he had eight hard spikes at the end, and if one were to pull it out, the skin would be torn into the shape of an eight-clawed flower, and one would surely be left with a great scar.

Lin Nuan told Yin Ruotang about all the injuries he had seen.

"No harm done, I'm a man, why would I mind this flesh wound?"

"You bear it!" Lin Nuan looked at this Yin Ruotang, whose back was covered in blood and flesh, and ruthlessly covered her hand over the arrow handle.

Lin Nuan slightly harder to lift, but that arrow does not leave the body, Yin Ruotang pain muffled utterance, Yecheng winter temperature is extremely low, squatters can not burn much charcoal fire, even so, Yin Ruotang but the pain of a sweat.

Seeing this, Lin Nuan couldn't help but run out of ideas, and asked Master Pure Dust, "Auntie, what should we do? Should we ask a bone-setter to come over!"

"Don't!" Yin Ruotang interrupted, "This is under the feet of the Emperor, and injuries from instruments must be reported to the officials and filed; in this case, it is troublesome and impossible to conceal."

Lin Nuan had no choice but to stop and look at Yin Ruotang again.

"First break the tail of the arrow, then dig out the arrowhead with a knife put!" Yin Ruotang endured the pain and said.

"Good!" Lin Nuan said, making enough force to break the tail of the arrow.

The body of the arrow was connected to the arrowhead, and the wobbling of the arrow's tail implicated the body of the arrow, and the pain of Lin Nuan's folded tail caused Yin Ruotang to break out in a cold sweat from the pain again, but he clenched his teeth tightly, and just refused to make a sound.

When Lin Nuan saw this, she was heartbroken for no reason.

"Brother Yin, just bear with me, I'll just get the arrow out." Lin Nuan comforted, Lin Nuan didn't know why, but she wanted to speak softly to him.

"It's fine, I'm not in pain." By this time, Yin Ruotang had already blanched in pain, and bean-sized beads of sweat were hanging on his forehead, yet he was still pacifying Lin Nuan.

"Good!" Lin Nuan took a deep breath, picked up the knife, toasted it on the candlestick, and then dug the knife along the arrow feather's eight-clawed arrowhead.

"Hmmm ..." Yin Ruotang finally uttered in pain.

No wonder, this arrow is unusual, when pulling out the arrow to hold up a person's skin.

Yin Ruotang was not the only one who seemed to be in pain from pulling out this arrow, Lin Nuan also seemed to have exhausted all her strength after pulling out this arrow, and could only lean diagonally against the edge of the bed couch.

Seeing this, Master Pure Dust instructed Ying Yun and Ying He to apply a blood-stopping medicine for Yin Ruotang and tie a bandage.

Master Pure Dust exhorted Lin Nuan before she was blessed:

"I'm going out to preach for a few days, so you guys stay in the squatter's room and take good care of Mr. Yin!"

Lin Nuan agreed, and after sending away Master Pure Dust, she half leaned against Yin Ruotang's bed and tilted her head, saying:

"Brother Yin, thank you for saving me twice."

"How do you need to be so polite between you and me." Although Yin Ruotang was in great pain, she still tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

"Still, thank you." Lin Nuan was once again grateful.

"Sister Xi!" Yin Ruotang paused for a moment and added, "I will fight with all my life to protect you no matter what."

Lin Nuan was slightly touched at that moment, although she knew that these words were said by Yin Ruotang to Hu Yuanxi. But in her life, she had never heard such a beautiful promise, even if it was not said to herself, it was enough to move her.

Yin Ruotang's face was pale and breathing heavily, obviously exhausted and in need of rest, so Lin Nuan said:

"Brother Yin, you rest first, I'll come back to see you tomorrow." But when the words reached his mouth, they were born as, "You rest first, I will stay with you."

Yin Ruotang will smile, inwardly very satisfied, although the two have not name words, but both know each other's heart, even if Yuan Xi will go to the draft in the next few days, but to be able to be with her every day, he will cherish.

Lin Nuan lay on the table and also gradually dozed off. In her sleep, the masked man seemed to pick up the veil, and Lin Nuan saw those familiar eyes - it was him! Lin Nuan woke up from her dream.

"Miss!" Ying Yun and Ying He, who were guarding the two sides, saw Lin Nuan waking up in shock and promptly brought a bowl of tea over, and Lin Nuan took a sip of the tea to suppress her shock.

Suddenly woke up, it is no longer good to sleep, Lin Nuan got up and stood in front of the window looking out the window of the bright moon, this New Year's Eve, Kyoto seems to have lifted the curfew, and occasionally can see one or two fireworks from the night sky lit up.

Ying Yun and Ying He also looked at the moon and sighed, "This is New Year's Eve!"

"What a special New Year's Eve!" Lin Nuan echoed.

"Sister Cee, go back to sleep! I'm fine." Yin Ruotang also woke up when she heard the sound of talking.

"Good, I'm also delaying your rest here, leaving Ying Yun to accompany you." Lin Nuan said and was about to go out, who knew that a lowered head but found that the jade pendant tied at the waist was lost, Lin Nuan suddenly had a moment of panic, and the images of Yin Ruotang giving this jade engraved figurine at the maturity ceremony came one after another. This sheep fat white jade carved on the carving is the appearance of Yuan Xi young, somehow, Lin Nuan suddenly black out fainted.
