Chapter 119: The Line Between Life and Death
Nian Tong looked at his gradually closed eyes, and her heart swelled with grief that she had never experienced before, she had never experienced such a close person dying in front of her, especially Yi Yang's death, because of her.
She broke down and screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks, her cowardice and forbearance, her concession and soft-heartedness, caused the situation today, and she would never let anyone who loved her hurt again. From then on, she Xu Niantong only lived for her alone, and would never be contaminated with any other reasons.
She stood up forcefully and said to Shen Yanyi, "Do you still want to fight, go on?" β
"I'm coming." Tang Xi's voice sounded behind him.
The psychological defense line that Nian Tong had just built collapsed at that moment, and she knew that the blood curse between master and apprentice had finally shown its effect at this moment. But if it weren't for Yi Yang, maybe she would have died.
"Master..."She turned around, not only Tang Xi, but Guo Lili also came.
Tang Xi saw that she was covered with blood, his brows were wrinkled deeper than hers, he quickly walked over and grabbed her waist, and saw the arrow in her lower abdomen, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn the entire Red Sleeve Villa.
Suddenly, Nian Tong frowned violently, his hand tightly grasped his sleeve, and he endured the pain and let out a muffled snort.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xi lowered his head and asked her in fear.
"I have poison in my body..."After Nian Tong finished speaking, he really fainted in Tang Xi's arms unsupportively.
Guo Lili took a step forward, looked at the injured Niantong, and said, "Tang Xi, you take her back first." β
"Senior sister, then you..."
"After I broke it, I don't believe it, you and I are here, they dare to do something." Guo Lili said coldly.
"Yi Yang's corpse..."Although Tang Xi didn't like him, he finally died to save Nian Tong, and he felt a little pity in his heart.
"I'll do it." Yun Weichen's voice sounded.
Tang Xi glanced back at him.
Yun Weichen looked at Nian Tong, who was covered in blood in Tang Xi's arms, and shook his head. He turned his head to look at Shen Yanyi, who was surprised, and said, "Yanyi, it's time to stop." β
Shen Yanyi's face also turned pale, looking straight at her most beloved man talking to her so indifferently, she only felt like a basin of cold water poured down in the air, making her feel cold to her feet.
"Weichenβ" she opened her mouth and called softly.
"Yanyi, I hope you can think about it carefully, what to do, you will live a happier life." Yun Weichen walked over, picked up Yi Yang's body, turned to Tang Xi and said, "Let's go." β
Guo Lili walked at the back, escorting Tang Xi and Yun Weichen away. Because they were all masters, and Shen Yanyi was stunned by Yun Weichen's words, no one dared to step forward for a while.
Tang Xi hugged Niantong and walked forward step by step, for fear that the action would hurt her. Even in her sleep, she kept frowning, Tang Xi only felt that her heart was tightened, and she couldn't protect her well, and she didn't even notice her thoughts at all.
Xu Yungui made a light effort and flew in front of them, Tang Xi was thinking about something, suddenly his sword eyebrows frowned, raised his head, and looked straight at Xu Yungui.
"Want to take her away?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you can fight if you want!" Guo Lili said.
"You are all masters of masters, I won't fight with you, as long as you return the talisman that Niantong took away, I will let you go."
"Joke, if you don't let it go, can't we leave?" Tang Xi snorted coldly.
"I don't know if she can't leave, but what I do know is that she is poisoned... Only I have the antidote, otherwise, even if you take her away, I will torture her to death. Xu Yungui said with a smile, as if it was not his own sister at all.
"You!" Guo Li was extremely angry.
"Do you think that if you get the talisman, you will be able to win the court? It's just a fool's dream, and you want a talisman? Then you take it! Tang Xi tore off the jade talisman that Nian Tong tied to the sword and threw it over/
Xu Yungui grabbed it and said, "Very good." Then he threw out a small bottle from his sleeve and said, "This is the antidote, take it once every three days." β
Tang Xi didn't say anything more, and walked out without looking back. Guo Lili is still close behind, in case the situation changes suddenly.
Because the journey between Wanjun Mansion and Red Sleeve Villa takes at least half a day and a day, Qu Yi and Jisheng did not come, waiting for them to come back in Wanjun Mansion.
Nian Tong was too seriously injured, and because Yun Weichen was carrying Yi Yang's body, the group couldn't walk fast. Worried about the bumps in the carriage, they had to find an inn to rest in Hongye Ridge first, and a letter asked Jisheng and Qu to come over quickly.
Tang Xi hurriedly walked into the room with Nian Tong in his arms, Nian Tong's head was already full of cold, and his lips were terribly white. Guo Lili has been following Ashkun for a long time, and he knows a little about medical science, and ordinary treatment will still be possible.
Guo Lili asked the little guy in the inn to fetch a few basins of water, took scissors and slowly cut Niantong's clothes, turned his head to Tang Xi and said, "You are a big man, even if you are her master, you can't just look at it." β
Tang Xi was stunned and didn't move, but his eyes kept looking at Nian Tong on the bed.
"Don't go yet!" Guo Lili shouted.
Tang Xi's face changed slightly, and he moved his steps stiffly and walked out.
Guo Lili cut Nian Tong's shirt with her hands, and she was still a little shocked when she saw the shocking wound. She quickly dipped the cloth in the water, and carefully wiped the blood around Niantongdi's wound, looking at the short arrow, she didn't know whether to start or not.
Guo Lili pondered for a moment, took a pot of wine next to him, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and poured the wine on Niantong's wound.
"Hmm..."Nian Tong frowned tightly in pain in his sleep, and let out a soft sigh.
"Nian Tong, hold back..."
Guo Lili felt a bead of sweat fall from her head, blurring her eyes, she gently put the arrow on her right hand, stabilized her mind, and pulled it hard.
Blood gushed out, and Nian Tong completely fainted, no longer conscious.
Guo Lili swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, quickly picked up the gauze next to her, and carefully bandaged her.
"Hold on, hold on..."Guo Lili kept reading.
After finishing the bandage, Guo Lili breathed a sigh of relief, she took out the antidote given by Xu Yungui from the side and fed it to Niantong.
"Senior sister..."Tang Xi opened the door.
Guo Lili immediately covered Niantong with a quilt and glanced at him: "Who let you in?" What if I'm not already? β
"I... I forgot, I seem to be a little confused right now. β
"What are you dazed, you're just brainless right now." Guo Lili counted viciously.
"I... I just went to the pharmacy to buy a blood tonic medicine, and I went to boil medicine for her..."
"I'll do it, what will you do." Guo Lili walked over and took the medicine in Tang Xi's hand, "I just bandaged Niantong and fed the medicine, you go take care of her now, this girl hurts a lot." β
Tang Xi nodded sluggishly, walked to Niantong's bed, and sat down silently. Because the quilt was covered casually just now, Niantong's hand was still exposed, and he gently picked up her cold little hand and put it into the quilt.
Tang Xi looked at her face like this, what was in her dream? I can't remember the first time I looked at her injured like this. He told himself every time that there would never be a next time, but she didn't do it.
He even sometimes felt that he was not worthy to be her master, or even to be by her side. Her decisiveness and bravery, he felt even surpassed him.
He picked up the handkerchief next to him, wiped the beads of sweat on Niantong's forehead, and sighed. He felt that he was very useless now, and he couldn't even protect his beloved.
"Nenkiriβ" he whispered by her name.
It suddenly occurred to him that she used to call his name in her dreams when she was injured and unconscious, but other than that, when she was awake, she never expressed her feelings clearly, and even rejected herself.
She said that she liked Yi Yang, and now Yi Yang died to protect her, no matter what, Yi Yang will really live in her heart for the rest of her life. And what about him? He didn't know how much weight he had in Niantong's heart, and sometimes, it was he Tang Xi who would rather protect her and die for her, so that at least he could stay in Niantong's heart forever.
"Don't... Don'tβ" Nian Tong said softly, moving his head uneasily.
"Don't want anything?" Tang Xi asked.
"Don't die, don't leave me..."
Tang Xi smiled bitterly, after thinking about it just now, sure enough, what she was thinking about now was Yi Yang. However, the next moment, I heard Nian Tong say:
"Yi Yang, don't die... Tang Xi, don't leave me......"
Tang Xi immediately gathered his attention and looked at her, he was almost a little unsure if he had really heard his name.
"I won't leave you," he said, holding her hand under the covers, in an almost choked voice.
A man, standing up to the sky, can shed blood, but he never sheds tears. When he grew up, he only shed tears for Niantong alone.
Nian Tong gradually quieted down, and finally fell asleep under Tang Xi's comfort. Guo Lili opened the door, took the hot medicine, and walked in.
"She's asleep?" Guo Lili looked at her calm and no longer so painful expression and asked.
Tang Xi nodded.
"Actually, Nian Tong may really like you?" Guo Lili said.
β...οΌβ Tang Xi was a little stunned.
"I know you like her, and it's not like I can't see it. You didn't say it before, because you are a master-apprentice relationship, but now it's because Niantong is unwilling, right? β
Tang Xi lowered his eyes and said, "Yes." β
"It's the most difficult for the parties to see their feelings clearly, Yi Yang is dead, I think, Nian Tong should be able to understand his deep feelings soon." Guo Lili said.
Tang Xi just asked, "What about Yi Yang and Yun Weichen?" β
"Yun Weichen took Yi Yang and went back, Yi Yang... I left his body next door. Wait for Niantong to wake up and make a decision. Guo Lili said.
"Okay." Tang Xi nodded.
