I don't know how long I was unconscious, but at the moment when I gradually regained consciousness, the first thing that found me was a huge pain in my back, like a steel knife constantly churning my flesh and blood, cutting my spine, and almost making me faint again.

At this time, my body was quite tired, my hands and feet were like a thousand pounds, and I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes. Holding back the suffocating pain in his back, he closed his eyes and tried to feel the things around him. At first, faintly, some trivial sounds could be heard, like someone talking, and like chaotic footsteps. However, since consciousness has not fully recovered, my brain is still a little wooden, and I feel that the sound is far away from me, and I can't tell what the sound is.

After a while, I gradually got used to the pain in my back, and my consciousness was almost restored, and the voice in my ears became clearer, and at this time I finally heard the movement that was lingering in my ears, it was a girl's murmur, and this voice sounded familiar. I searched my brain for the owner of the voice, and after a few moments, a sweet face came to mind.

Slowly open your eyes, trying to confirm your thoughts. The first thing that caught my eye was the pale pink light gauze drapery, and I found myself lying on a large soft and comfortable bed, delicately carved and decorated. The body is embroidered with a brocade quilt with gorgeous patterns, revealing a faint fragrance. Looking sideways, I found that there was a person sitting with his back to me next to the bed, and under the long green silk was his waist like a willow caressing water, and his graceful back looked extremely fresh and refined against the backdrop of the light cyan dress, not stained with mortal dust.

I looked at this shadow stupidly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on my face, and sure enough, as I thought, this person was Zhao Qingcheng, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, muttering something in her mouth.

After listening carefully, I realized that I was talking about me, which was roughly "Brother Luo Ran, when will you wake up, I'm so worried about you, people like you so much, I don't know if you stupid person understands" or something. I felt very numb when I heard it, but my heart was warm, and an inexplicable feeling arose leisurely from my heart. Because she was sitting with her back to me, she didn't notice that I had woken up, and it was because of this that I had the opportunity to hear those words, if she knew that I was awake, she would definitely not say it, this little girl, obviously liked me very much in her heart, but she just couldn't say it, Ken Neng felt that this kind of thing should be the initiative of the boy.

I wanted to call her, but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly had a funny mind again, and I wanted to tease her on purpose. I wanted to sit up secretly and come up to her ear to surprise her. But unexpectedly, as soon as the body moved slightly, the back hurt a bit, and I couldn't help but let out a painful moan.

Zhao Tingcheng heard the moaning and hurriedly turned around, his face full of worry. When she saw that I had woken up, her expression softened a little and asked.

"Brother Luo Ran, are you awake?"

I smiled awkwardly, "Ah, ahem...... Woke up. “

"Do you feel uncomfortable right now?"

"Ah, I'm fine, it's okay, but my back hurts a little, which worries you. “

Zhao Tingcheng's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he retorted: "Che, who is worried about you? I don't worry about you." “

When I saw that this little girl was a dead duck with a hard mouth, I didn't admit it, and decided to tease her at the moment.

"Uh...... When I woke up just now, I vaguely seemed to hear you say you liked me. “

Zhao Tingcheng's face turned even redder all of a sudden, "Who said that I like you, the ghost likes you, I didn't say it, you must have heard it wrong." “

"yes, I'm hallucinating? No, I heard it very clearly......

Zhao Chengcheng interrupted me, deliberately pretended to be angry, turned his head away from me, and said, "Hmph, don't say it, I'll ignore you if you say it again." “

When I saw her like this, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, "Hahaha...... Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, don't be angry. “

Zhao Qingcheng muttered and pinched my arm fiercely, "Let you be bad." “

It's rare for her to look so cute, except for her parents, and only in front of me will she be such a bird. Usually Zhao Tingcheng looks high in front of others, like a noble and cold little princess.

I deliberately pretended to be in pain, hurriedly begged for mercy, and then asked her, "Where is this?"

Zhao Tingcheng gave me a blank look and said to me, "Where else could it be?" Of course it's my room." “

"Your room, how could I be in your room, what did you do to me?"

Zhao Tingcheng slapped me angrily: "What do you think? If you talk nonsense, I'll let people throw you out." “

"Oops...... Don't, I'm not talking nonsense, Miss, tell me what's going on. “

I remember that last night those four people planned to take me away to blackmail the second uncle, just a moment before I fell into a coma, I seemed to hear someone stop them, I thought it was the second uncle who rushed back, but now I am in the Zhao family, thinking that it is not the second uncle, it is the people of the Zhao family who saved me?

Zhao Tingcheng replied, "Hmm...... It was my father who brought you back. “

Oh...... Sure enough, it was the people of the Zhao family who saved me, and I continued to ask her: "How did your father save me? What about those who chased me?"

"I don't know the specific situation, there was a sudden battle at your blacksmith shop last night, and my father thought that someone from the Gongsun family was going to take revenge on you in the middle of the night, so he and a few elders brought people to check. I wanted to go with me, but my father didn't let me go, so I had to stay home and wait for news. It was probably in the early hours of this morning that my father and a few elders came back with people. They went directly to the Zhao family's pharmacy, I thought someone must have been injured, so I hurried to the pharmacy as well, but what I didn't expect was that the injured person would be you. You weren't conscious at all, and if I couldn't feel your faint breathing, I would have thought you were dead. Later, our family doctor examined you and found that you only fainted because your spiritual power was exhausted. The injuries on your back are not very serious, and the person who shot it should not want your life, otherwise, even if you don't die, the spiritual veins will be broken, and after the doctor has dealt with you, I will have them carry you to my room. “

Zhao Chengcheng roughly told her what she knew, and when she heard her say that the wound on my back was not serious, she immediately felt a lot more relieved. If the spiritual vein is really broken, then I might as well just die. As for what happened after I passed out, Zhao Tingcheng didn't say, and she must not know. It is very likely that the people of the Zhao family at that time repelled those four people, and then brought me back to the Zhao family.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been almost a day since the early hours of this morning. “

I suddenly thought of my second uncle, he went to chase the ghost guy last night, I don't know how he is doing now?

I asked Zhao Tingcheng, "Is there any news of my second uncle?"

"Don't worry, your second uncle came back this morning, and my father sent someone to pick him up, and now I should be in the council hall with my father." “

I heard that the second uncle was fine, and my hanging heart finally let go. My second uncle has always been my only support, and if something happens to him, I really don't know how to face the rest of my life.

Zhao Chengcheng thought for a while and said to me, "Who was chasing you last night, is it really from the Gongsun family?"

I shook my head and said I didn't know. The organization that those people belong to is too mysterious, and the power seems to be very strong, if Zhao Tingcheng knows too much, it may harm her, with the current strength of the Zhao family, there is definitely no ability to compete with that organization.

Zhao Chengcheng seemed to see that I was not telling the truth, and continued to ask, but at this time, there were suddenly a few knocks on the door outside.

She had no choice but to give up and shouted, "Come in." “

"Squeak", the door was opened, and a woman walked in from the outside, she was Zhao Chengcheng's maid, Caiyun. After Caiyun entered the house, he said to Zhao Tingcheng: "Miss, grandpa asked me to come and see if Luo Ran is awake? If he wakes up, let him go to the meeting hall and find him in an emergency." “

"Okay, I know, you go and tell your father, Brother Luo Ran has woken up, but he can't get up and act yet, let his father come over if there is something." “

"Yes, miss. The maid answered, and withdrew out of the door. I hurriedly stopped her, "Hey, wait a minute. “

Zhao Chengcheng asked me, "What's the matter?" Brother Luo Ran. “

"Oh, it's nothing, I think it's better for me to go over and see Uncle Zhao. “

"Is your injury okay? “

I laughed and said, "Didn't you just say that my injuries are not serious? It's okay, come on, help me up." “

..................

The meeting hall is the place where the Zhao family meets guests and discusses major affairs within the clan, so the whole hall is decorated with magnificence and luxury.

Zhao Tingcheng and I walked into the meeting hall side by side, and found that there were only two people in the hall, Second Uncle and Zhao Ding.

When the second uncle saw us, he hurriedly greeted us and asked me how I was feeling now, and I told him that it was fine, nothing was wrong, and asked him not to worry. However, the second uncle still insisted on looking at the injury on my back and made sure that it was really no big deal before he stopped.

The second uncle said: "I really didn't expect them to have a backhand, if it weren't for the Zhao family master this time, I'm afraid you will be really lucky this time, don't hurry up and thank the Zhao family master." “

I hurriedly saluted Zhao Ding and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhao for saving me." “

Zhao Ding waved his hand, "Alas, virtuous nephew, you don't have to be polite, it's just a gesture." “

"No matter what, Uncle Zhao's kindness, I keep it firmly in my heart, and if I have achievements in the future, I will definitely repay it a hundred times. “

Zhao Ding laughed, "Hahaha, okay." “

Then I asked the second uncle, "Second uncle, how is that ghost guy? Did you catch him?"

The second uncle said lightly, "I caught it, but it can also be said that I didn't catch it." “

"What do you mean?" I wondered, if you chase it, you chase it, if you don't catch it, you don't catch it, what is it that you chase and you don't catch it?

The second uncle's expression suddenly became very strange, "Hey...... I'm mad at talking about it, I was put on a by him. I don't know what kind of evil magic the black mist of that ghost guy is, no matter how much I attack, I can't attack his main body, and it will soon gather again after it is dispersed. I fought with him in the forest all night, until dawn, the black mist seemed to be very afraid of the sun, only by the sunlight gently dissipated, but the ghost guy was also gone, then I realized, damn, that is not his body at all, this old ghost, in the process of fighting me, I don't know when he has already fled. “

"Ah, is there such a thing?" I can't believe it, with the strength of the second uncle, he didn't even see through the methods of that ghost, and I couldn't help but feel a little more jealous of that mysterious organization.

The second uncle continued: "I didn't expect to be deceived by him, but it doesn't matter, our top priority now is to get out of here immediately." “
