Led by Hemingway, the maid who was in charge of watching over Teresa walked out of the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info wooden door closed, and in the narrow ward, only Du Shen and Teressa, who had always been asleep, were left.

Du Shen walked to the head of the bed, leaned over and stretched out his hands. He pulled the girl's collar slightly and pulled a pendant from the girl's neck. The pendant chain encircles the girl's snow-white neck, like a slender chain, the color is black, and it looks very shoddy.

Du Shen picked up the pendant with one hand and leaned over to look at it carefully: the pendant is a ring as a whole, with a crescent moon in the middle. The ring and the crescent moon are joined together by two short, thin metal rods. The pendant is slightly larger than the lychee, and the overall color is brownish-red, and there are also many places that are black.

Du Shen cast his eyes on the girl's pink face. He estimated that the girl would not wake up suddenly. Du Shen carefully untied the pendant. He tucked the pendant into his arms and gently straightened the girl's collar.

After doing everything, Teresa never woke up. Du Shen walked to the wooden chair in the corner of the room and sat down. He closed his eyes and mobilized the pseudo-divine power stored in the bead. The divine power is like a filament, flowing into the middle of the chest, bit by bit nourishing elemental flame.

Because the elemental fire is indigestible, a lot of heat escapes. Du Shen had to loosen his shirt and open his chest. Fine beads of sweat kept oozing from his chest, and they quickly evaporated.

Time passed, and the dawn approached. Du Shen stopped cultivating. He got up and walked over to the bedside cabinet to rehydrate.

Du Shen was drinking water with a glass when he suddenly heard a slight noise. He turned around and saw Teresa looking at him with wide eyes.

Du Shen immediately put down the water glass, very happy: "Teresa, you're awake!" How does it feel? Want to drink water? ”

Teresa shook her head, trying to sit up with her hands propped up. But she was so weak that she couldn't use her arms at all. Teresa gave up the futile struggle. Still lying on her back, she turned her head to scan the room: "Who are you?" Where am I? ”

"My name is Du Shen. You wait first," Du Shen strode out, "I'll wake up the maid and prepare a hot meal for you." You haven't eaten in a long time, you must be very hungry. ”

Du Shen walked out the door and came back quickly. As soon as he entered, he heard Teressa plead, "I'm feeling thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?" ”

Du Shen smiled and agreed, helping Teresa drink half a glass of warm water.

"Where's my grandma?" As soon as she drank the water, Teresa couldn't wait to ask.

"Teresa, you have to be mentally prepared" Du Shen put down the water glass and was silent for a while, "Your grandmother is dead." ”

"How is it possible," Teresa's face grew pale, and she shook her head slightly, "Impossible! You're lying to me, aren't you? ”

Du Shen explained heavily: "Teresa, you listen to me. At noon today, when I was on my way, I heard a cry for help. Following the sound, I saw three robbers hunting down your grandmother. Of course I drew my sword to save me. However, the strength of those three robbers is too strong. Eventually, I had to run away with your grandmother. ”

"Although she managed to escape, your grandmother was also seriously injured. Before you died, your grandmother asked me to take care of you. Her injuries were so severe that she didn't even have time to tell me her name. ”

"Grandma!" Teresa cried out bitterly, tears pouring out of her eyes like streams.

Du Shen comforted softly: "Teresa, don't be too sad. I'll bury your grandmother in a cemetery outside the city. When you recover, you can go see her. ”

Du Shen's comfort made the girl's tears flow more and more urgently. Du Shen looked around, took off the snow-white towel hanging on the wall, and helped the girl wipe away her tears.

It took a long time for the girl to calm down. She wiped her face with a towel: "So, you saved me?" Where is this? ”

"Yes," Du Shen picked up the towel handed by the girl, "This is the Oak Medical Hall in Qinyin City." It was also the home of Dr. Hemingway. Yesterday, he was the one who healed you. ”

"Thank you! Du Shen. "Teresa is grateful.

"Don't thank me," Du Shen turned around and hung the towel back on the wall, "After all, I've already received the payment." You should hire me. I will take good care of you until you recover. ”

Du Shen put his hand into his arms and took out a string of pendants: "Look." That's what I was paid for. ”

Seeing the pendant in Du Shen's hand, Teresa seemed a little surprised. She reached out and touched her neck. She instantly determined that the pendant in Du Shen's hand was the one she had worn since she was a child.

Teresa grew surprised. She stared at the pendant that was shaking in mid-air, and then observed Du Shen's expression: "This pendant was handed over to you by my grandmother?" ”

"Yes!" Du Shen's answer was so high-sounding that it was hard to be suspicious, "Your grandmother said that she has no other possessions but this pendant." She said the pendant was made of pure gold. I think this pendant is quite heavy, and it should be worth a lot of money. You can rest assured that you are sick. I'll take care of all the expenses for you. ”

While speaking, Du Shen untied the buckle of the pendant and put it on his neck: "Don't say it, I like this pendant a lot." I've always wanted an amulet. I feel like it's my lucky charm. ”

When Du Shen wore the pendant, Teressa's eyes never left the pendant. Until Du Shen hid the pendant under his clothes, Teresa didn't retract her gaze.

"Du Shen," Teresa muttered, "can you give me back this pendant?" Rest assured, I'll trade it for gold that's heavier than it. Really, this pendant means ...... to me."

"Teresa," Du Shen interrupted unhappily, "you're not an honest girl. Do you have any money on you? Are there any relatives of yours in the city of Qinyin? Where are you going to get the gold to exchange the pendant with me? ”

Teresa spoke, her cheeks getting hotter. She stubbornly explained: "I have a relative. He's rich, and he's ...... in Maple Leaf City."

"Maple Leaf City," Du Shen interrupted a little impatiently, "where is it?" Surely it's not nearby, right? Teresa, you're still trying to trick me into sending you to Maple Leaf City? ”

"Not really!" Teresa hastened to explain.

Du Shen didn't give the girl a chance to explain. He sighed heavily: "Ah! Teresa, I didn't want to say that. You and I don't know each other. I rescued you from the robbers, and I hurried you to the hospital on a snowy day. You should pay me something, right? Your grandmother has no money, so she gave me this pendant. To be honest, I'm skeptical of your grandma's words! ”

Du Shen took out the pendant of the pendant and showed it to the girl: "Look, your grandmother said that the pendant is made of pure gold. However, it was mottled and blackened. I doubt it's made of brass, and it's not worth a lot of money. All right! I took it as a good deed a day, and took it as a reward. But ......"

Du Shen seemed to have suffered a big blow: "But, now, you have to take back this fake pendant!" Teresa, is it true that to be a good person, you must suffer harm? I really regret saving you! ”

After saying that, Du Shen turned around and walked out of the door angrily. Teresa naturally shouted to explain, but Du Shen turned a deaf ear and disappeared at the door.

"No, it's not! I didn't mean to hurt you! Listen to me......" Theresa beckoned in vain as she lay on her back on the bed. She looked at the door, tears glistening in her eyes.

A figure suddenly appeared at the door, but it was not Du Shen, but a dignified woman. The woman carried a wooden plate with a large bowl and a rich aroma.

"Theresa are awake," the woman walked to the bedside with the food, "I am Juliet, Dr. Hemingway's wife. Most of the time, it's up to me to take care of you. ”

"Hello, ma'am. Thank you for taking care of you," Teressa's stomach purged, "What about Du Shen?" Where did he go? ”

Juliet placed the wooden tray on the wooden cabinet. She picked up the big bowl and scooped up the gruel with a spoon: "Du Shen." My husband is replacing his wound medicine. Because he saved you, he was hurt a lot by those robbers. Don't look at him as if he's fine, he's actually just holding on. ”

I heard that Du Shen was injured because he saved himself. Teresa felt even more guilty. However, Du Shen is not there, and she can only wait for an apology and thanks later.

Teresa reached out to catch Juliet's large bowl and wooden spoon. Juliet dodged refusal: "I'll feed you." You are weak now. ”

Teresa didn't insist, relying on Juliet's help to eat all the gruel. Not long after Juliet left, Du Shen reappeared.

Du Shen walked to the bed expressionlessly: "Don't worry." I will not leave you behind until you recover, and I will cover all medical expenses. As a price, the pendant belongs to me. When you recover, we don't owe each other! ”

"Thank you!" Teresa snorted, but couldn't help but say, "Please take good care of the pendant." All right? Before we parted. ”

"Hmph," Du Shen snorted coldly, and said unhappily, "The pendant is mine." What to do with it is my freedom. ”

Perhaps seeing Teresa's anxiety and worry, Du Shen was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Don't worry." I'll take it with me until you leave. ”

"Thank you!" Teresa thanked on the surface, but secretly had a headache. She kept thinking about how to get the pendant back from Du Shen's hand. She couldn't help but be distracted.

"Teresa," Du Shen woke up the girl, "we need to move to the ward. Can your body do it? ”

"Yes." Teresa was about to get up with her hands propped up.

Du Shen gently pressed her back: "Forget it." You're too weak. Wait a minute. Lady Juliet and the maid will come to your aid later. ”

After a short while, Juliet came in with the maid. They helped Teresa dress and wrap her in blankets. Given that Teressa's body was still weak, Du Shen did not take her out of the hospital. Du Shen hugged the girl sideways and just transferred her to another relatively remote yard to recuperate.

In the afternoon, Morgan. Kenny leads the guards to visit Teresa. With no sign of Teresa in the hospital room, Morgan questioned Hemingway, who arrived later.

Hemingway only said that after Teresa sobered up, he secretly left. Although Morgan lost his temper, he did not suspect Hemingway, nor did he embarrass Hemingway. He rode in a carriage and wandered aimlessly around the city of Qinyin, intending to find the girl.
