Chapter 16: Night Talk
In the dark night, three horses galloped on the road, it was Zhao Gang's team, and after they had roughly cleaned up, they rode their horses and galloped southeast.
After rushing in the middle of the night, they had already fled from the royal family and entered the Ye family's territory, and it was only at this time that Zhao Gang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
And the captain who relaxed felt that after a long time of hurrying, even he was a little tired, not to mention the weak Han Lin and the injured Wang Qiang. If this continues, they will not be able to cope with the danger.
So when passing a dilapidated ancient temple, Zhao Gang lowered his speed: "It should be out of danger for the time being, let's rest first."
After briefly observing the temple, Zhao Qiang and Feng Zezheng tied their horses and helped Han Lin and Wang Qiang into the temple.
This is a small temple, there are no monks in it for a long time, and only a broken Buddha is still standing on the desk in the empty Daxiong Treasure Hall, smiling at this dilapidated environment.
"The Buddha blesses us and we can be safe" After helping Han Lin and Wang Qiang to sit down, Zhao Gang got up and bowed to the Buddha.
"You still believe in Buddhism, why didn't I know before" Zhao Gang's strange behavior caused Feng Zezheng to complain.
"It can be regarded as a comfort in my heart" After worshipping the Buddha, Zhao Gang walked outside, "I'll make a fire, you go and observe the surrounding situation, if you can, we will rest here for the night." ”
"Okay" said, Feng Zezheng disappeared into the temple with a leap, and Zhao Gang also walked outside the temple, leaving only Han Lin and Wang Qiang sitting in the temple.
At this time, Wang Qiang was tired from running around for a long time, and he had already leaned on the pillar and fell asleep. The wound on his body had cracked again due to the vigorous exercise, and the shallow blood stains had already stained the coarse cloth that bandaged the wound red, and there was no way to manage it when he was in a hurry before, but now Han Lin finally had time.
So in order to prevent the wound from becoming infected, Han Lin took off the blood-stained gauze with difficulty, and by the moonlight, it was vaguely seen that Wang Qiang's wound had basically scabbed, but it had cracked in a few places, but fortunately it was not serious. After gently changing the herbs and bandaging the wounds, Han Lin and Wang Qiang leaned together.
Zhao Gang and Feng Zezheng, who were out at this time, had not come back yet, but Han Lin was not worried about his safety, as long as the two of them had confirmed the place, there would be no problem.
Thinking of his teammates, Han Lin only felt even more guilty in his heart. Since joining their team, Han Lin's contribution is actually not much, many times he is taken care of by the three of them, and for him, the three of them have wasted a lot of hearts.
Han Lin still remembers that the last time Wang Qiang was injured and unconscious was also because of himself, that time they did an escort mission, but they were surrounded by bandits on the road, in order to save Han Lin who was besieged, Wang Qiang resolutely took a knife for Han Lin.
That is, Wang Qiang is in good health, if he were replaced by Han Lin, I am afraid that he would have seen the king of Hades long ago if he was injured like this. But even a strong person like Wang Qiang almost didn't survive.
What made Han Lin even more embarrassed was that after recovery, Wang Qiang did not blame Han Lin, but thanked Han Lin for saving his life, which made Han Lin even more uncomfortable.
Thinking back to what had happened before, Han Lin realized how burdensome the character he had cultivated in the peaceful world was. He has been in this other world for more than four months, and he has not actually adapted to this world at all, and he does not even have the idea of making some changes for this world, and it is for this reason that he and his companions have been repeatedly put in danger.
Looking at the sleeping Wang Qiang, Han Lin made up his mind for the first time that from this moment on, he had to adapt to this different world and could no longer let others be injured because of himself.
While Han Lin was reflecting, Zhao Gang had already walked back with a pile of dry firewood, and after a gurgling sound, a flame burned.
After Zhao Gang sat down by the fire, the temple was quiet again, and only the occasional crackling sound when the sticks burned proved that time was still flowing.
After the "captain" was silent for a long time, Han Lin finally spoke, "Why don't you give up on me, the Sun family's goal is me, so you don't have to run around." ”
Zhao Gang didn't respond immediately to Han Lin's words, he thought for a while before asking, "Why do you want to abandon you? You are my team member!"
Zhao Gang's words made Han Lin ashamed: "I-I don't think I'm worthy of being your teammate"
"Since joining the team, I haven't made any contributions, but I've been dragging you back, Brother Qiang was injured before, and this time too, or I'......"
"Who said you didn't contribute" Before Han Lin finished speaking, Captain Zhao Gang interrupted him, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to complete so many tasks, and even if we could, we wouldn't be as lively as we are now." ”
As if he was afraid that Han Lin wouldn't believe it, Zhao Gang explained, "Han Lin, you are a novice, and you may not know the profession of mercenary. In order to complete a task, it is inevitable that we will be injured, such as a hadron is considered light, and if it is serious, death is a matter of moments."
"But if it weren't for me, Brother Qiang wouldn't have been tossed into this weak appearance. Han Lin was still blaming himself.
"No, no, no, you only saw that Qiangzi was weak now, but you didn't see that none of us were worried about his injury, Han Lin, this is your credit. As a pharmacist, you are already competent enough" As he spoke, Zhao Gang turned around and looked at Han Lin.
"Han Lin, you don't need to blame yourself, none of us blame you, let alone blame you. There is nothing wrong with your thinking, and there is nothing wrong with your actions. If you insist on saying that you are doing something wrong - you have chosen the wrong career"
"According to your personality and ability, if you change to a doctor or even a traveling doctor, your life will be much better than now. The only thing you shouldn't do is to enter this river and lake, because everyone who is in the rivers and lakes has a hard time!"
Hearing Zhao Gang's voice gradually become lower, Han Lin knew that he should have thought of something sad.
"Captain"
"I'm fine" cheered up, Zhao Gang continued, "Han Lin, you may not believe it, I have walked in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have seen many kinds of characters, but I have never seen a person like you."
"I'm not lying to you, I can see that you are a child who has just left your parents, because you still have a feeling of immaturity, but I can't see what your family is like. ”
"Because I don't know of any family that can teach you such an erudite and polite, immature but self-reliant child. But what I know for sure is that your parents must have put a lot of effort into nurturing you, and they must be proud to be able to teach such sincere children as you. ”
"My parents ......" Han Lin wanted to say that his parents were ordinary people, but the words still didn't come out of his mouth, because Han Lin's parents did put a lot of thought into teaching Han Lin, but they were not in this world.
And Zhao Gang didn't dwell on this, "You don't have to say anything to me, everyone has some unspeakable secrets in their hearts, I won't ask about your life experience, and I won't ask why you have to be a mercenary." But I hope you will listen to my advice, and when your goal is achieved, remember to leave this river and lake as soon as possible, because if you stay for a long time, you may not be able to escape! At that time, remember to go home and see your parents, while they are still alive. ”
"And now, as our teammates, let's get through the challenge ahead of us first!"
Zhao Gang's heartfelt words untied some of Han Lin's knots. As for Zhao Gang's suggestion, let's wait until after leaving this country.
"You can sleep for a while, I'll go out and have a look, and I'll call you when I leave"
"Okay" responded in a whisper, and Han Lin quickly fell asleep groggily.
And Zhao Gang, who walked out of the temple, saw Feng Zezheng leaning against the wall at a glance.
"I found out that you came back, why don't you come in?"
"You teach the members of the group, what am I going to do in there?"
"You!" Seeing Feng Zezheng's arrogant face, Zhao Gang said, "It's your character that caused your childhood sweetheart to delay marrying, when will you understand!"
To say that the world knows Feng Zezheng best, there is no one more than Zhao Gang. He clearly knew that this good brother was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Just like this time, he looked like he had been complaining about Han Lin, in fact, he cared about Han Lin more than anyone else, but his personality caused his feelings to be unable to convey to the other party.
Seeing that he was exposed, Feng Zezheng snorted coldly: "I want you to take care of it"
After that, he got up and walked into the distance, apparently to be on guard again. But he didn't take two steps before he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, the sky in the west is a little cloudy, and it seems to be raining."
As if in order to echo Feng Zezheng's statement, a west wind blew, blowing the dust on the ground everywhere, Zhao Gang looked up to the west, and sure enough, the entire sky there had been obscured by dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain was accumulating.
"I see, we'll go after another hour's rest!"
The words are divided into two ends.
While Han Lin and the others were resting, a carrier pigeon flew into the main house of the Sun family a hundred miles away, and a richly dressed middle-aged man immediately commanded his subordinates after receiving the news of the flying pigeon
"Zhao Gang is in the Ye family's territory, immediately mobilize all the people in the Ye family's territory, even if it turns the bottom upside down, they must find them out for me, and they will see people alive or dead!"
"Yes"
"Wait" Just as the next person was about to leave, a female voice stopped him, "Pay attention to hide your identity as much as possible, and don't have a head-on conflict with the Ye family"
"Madame, you ......"
"Eh!" After covering the man's mouth, the woman waved her hand to let the subordinate leave, and after there was no one around, the woman explained, "We have just negotiated a deal with the Ye family, and it is not good to be an enemy of them at this time, not to mention that it is still for a traitor of the Divine Rune Sect, and saying it like this will also damage the image of our Sun family."
"But I can't swallow this!" the man said angrily
"It's okay, they can't escape, don't forget, Sun Lao is also in the pursuit team!" The woman looked confident: "This time, they must know the consequences of disobeying our Sun family!"
