Chapter 17: The Ranger

The young man lay quietly, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his face was pale, only his heart was unwilling to endure this calm, and he was still beating weakly.

I don't know if it's because of the dim light, he seems to have changed into a gray-black robe, one hand pressed to his chest, where there was no blood, and the other hand hung down at his side, holding the black copper sword tightly.

Li Bingru knelt down and slowly took the hand on his chest, where there was still a sticky wet touch. She felt her heart tremble with his faint heartbeat.

The eyes gradually adjusted to this gray environment. Li Bingru could clearly see every place in the house. The smoky gray satin robe was decorated with wide black folds, loosely covering his lying body, and the black ribbon around his waist was tied haphazardly, and the whole thing was embarrassed.

Li Bingru sat in a daze for a while, until the smooth porcelain vase made her palm hurt, and then she stretched out her trembling hand to untie the ribbon around his waist.

"Who?"

The young man sat up suddenly, grabbed Li Bingru's delicate wrist, and almost at the same time, the black copper sword was pressed against her chest.

Li Bingru's whole person shook, as if she was frightened by a ghost that suddenly appeared, and it took a long time to make a sound.

"I ......"

"Girl? ......" The young man said hesitantly, struggling to open his eyes.

The young man finally didn't see the person in front of him clearly, so he fell down softly.

Li Bingru didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly untied the ribbon and lifted the smoke-colored satin robe.

The boy wore only a robe, and his chest was covered with the bloodstained cloud-colored garment, which was the same white gauze he had worn outside, and underneath it was a puddle of crushed grass, mixed with saliva and blood.

It's an indescribable feeling.

That's life.

Li Bingru trembled and wiped away the saliva grass that made her outrageous with her clothes, and a finger-long black hole appeared in front of her in a shocking way, and there were some wounds of different depths beside her.

Li Bingru couldn't help but shed tears, and a kind of sorrow gushed out from the bottom of her heart. Tears fell onto the wound, causing a shudder there.

I quickly wiped away my tears, not daring to let them flow out again.

opened the porcelain bottle, first poured a layer of medicinal powder on the wound, and finally simply poured out the entire bottle of medicinal powder, and piled a thick layer.

Picking up the bloodstained cloud-colored garment, he looked up and down, tore off the entire clean sleeve and folded it into squares and pressed it against the wound, and the rest was torn into strips of cloth and went around his armpits.

Li Bingru has never felt that a boy with broad shoulders and a strong chest is such a helpless thing.

When she tried to wrap the strip of cloth under the boy's armpit to fix the wound, she felt that her whole body was lying on the boy's chest, and she could even clearly hear the boy's heartbeat slowly turning from weak to strong, and the skin under her palm was burning and tough, almost burning her hand.

A graceful feeling rippled in Li Bingru's heart, but she didn't have more time or mood to experience that grace. She had to struggle with her little hands to move strips of cloth from one armpit to the other between the boy's heavy back and the hard, cold floor.

It was such an arduous process that when she put on the boy's smoky gray satin robe, her whole body was about to collapse.

Li Bingru finally tightened the ribbon on the young man's waist, tied a beautiful bow, and sat there crookedly, wiping a handful of sweat, leaning against the wall and gasping.

"You...... What did you use for me......" The boy spoke suddenly, his voice weak.

"No...... I don't know......" Li Bingru looked at him in surprise, panting and said, "You, are you awake?" ”

"Well, awake all the time. It's just that you are busy and serious, so I didn't bother. ”

……

An unknown animal rushed through Li Bingru's mind.

"You dare to use anything you don't know, it seems that the rest of my life will be sent to Hades......" A hint of a mocking smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and his expression was pleasant.

"Wake up, you don't know how to move, I'll tie you with a bandage and be half tired." Li Bingru was angry.

"I ...... I don't have the strength to ......" The young man's voice was weak, and his cheeks were stained with an abnormal red tide.

After listening to the young man's words, Li Bingru blamed herself again, with such a deep wound and so much blood, it was already a miracle to be alive, if she still had the strength, how could she wear her clothes like that?

Seeing that Li Bingru didn't speak, the young man hesitated and asked, "You can't ...... Shy? ”

"What?" Li Bingru looked at the young man puzzled, not understanding the meaning of his words.

"Hmm...... I mean, you look at a man like that...... Nudity...... Also ......"

The boy tried to speak tactfully, and when he said these words, he felt as if there was a fire burning on his face, but fortunately the light was dim and it was not obvious.

"Uh......"

Li Bingru was stunned for a moment, as if she had just seen a man's nakedness, and she was so close to it, thinking of this, she scratched her head a little embarrassed.

But she didn't think it was anything, she met Shao Haihui in the summer, when Shao Haihui and a group of boys competed in the nearby pond every day, naked like loaches in the water, she would stand on the shore to applaud them and be their referee.

Later, when Shao Haihui was in the rebellious period, he often fought outside, and every time he came back, he was injured, and she bought medicine and rubbed medicine.

What's more, she just thought about dealing with that wound, and she didn't think about whether men and women were extremely valued by people in this era.

Now that the boy asked, Li Bingru couldn't help but think about it seriously. At this time, she suddenly remembered a story.

"I'll tell you a story." Li Bingru said, and then without waiting for the young man to answer, he began to talk about himself.

"Once upon a time, there were two monks who went down the mountain to make a fortune, and when they passed by a wide river, they saw a woman crying there, and the apprentice asked her what she was crying about, and the woman said that she wanted to go to the other side of the river to see her seriously ill mother, who knew that the river was turbulent, and she did not want to stain her new clothes, so that her mother was worried, and she did not know how to cross the river.

When the apprentice heard this, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! The master walked over with a smile, squatted down in front of the woman, and said, "Donor, the poor monk will carry you over."

After crossing the river, the apprentice said regretfully, "Master, you have committed a sexual precept," and the master smiled.

Guess what he said? ”

"What did Master say?" The boy came to be interested.

"The master said: In your eyes, she is a woman, but in the eyes of the teacher, she is just a suffering person who needs help, apprentice, your cultivation is still shallow!"

Li Bingru said, patting the young man's shoulder in a decent way.

The boy laughed, "Why do I think I've become your apprentice for some reason?" ”

"The children can be taught!" Li Bingru gave a thumbs up in her treacherous plan.

The young man was angry and funny, pulling the wound, his expression froze instantly, and his thin lips were clenched, as if he was trying his best to endure it.

"How are you, is it painful?"

Li Bingru asked urgently, her heart was tight, but she didn't know what else to do except pray for the wound to heal soon. She unconsciously looked at her fingers and said softly: "You don't have to worry, I tried those medicinal powders, they work very well to stop bleeding, and you will get better soon." ”

The young man frowned when he heard this, he put down the black copper sword and pulled Li Bingru's hand, and when he saw the slender scar, his eyes suddenly tightened.

"Yes...... Nangong Yifeng got it? ”

Li Bingru nodded, wanting to withdraw her hand but couldn't.

"I said, he has always resisted this marriage, how could he make such a big move on the wedding night, I see!"

"Do you know Nangong Yifeng?"

"I don't know." The young man let go of Li Bingru's hand and smiled, "But he is the famous Second Young Fort Master of Tianlong Fort on the rivers and lakes, how many people will not know him?" ”

"Is he that famous?" Li Bingru was very curious, maybe, otherwise how could even Shao Haihui know him so well.

The young man nodded, looking at Li Bingru's gaze a little strangely, and said faintly: "I just didn't expect that he would be so cold as to do something to a weak woman." ”

"So who are you and why are you hurt?" Li Bingru raised her face, innocent and cute.

"Me? My surname is Li, my name is Yuchen, and I am a ranger. ”

"Rangers?" When Li Bingru heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it the kind of chivalrous man who 'sees unevenness on the road, draws his sword to help, helps without leaving a name, and travels the rivers and lakes'?" ”

Maybe it was the dim light in the room, which hid the cold owl of the young man's body, and occasionally a few loud laughter made Li Bingru feel that the young man who had always been unruly was particularly friendly at the moment.

"Huh!" The boy was amused by Li Bingru's exaggerated metaphor, "It's over." I'm just a small person, not to be ashamed. But how could you, Mrs. Liu's daughter, steal something? ”

"This ......" Li Bingru laughed embarrassedly, "What about you?" What are you doing in Draco Castle? ”

"If you are not good at learning, you will be plotted by others, so you should find a place to recuperate." Li Yuchen closed his eyes slightly, and his dignified posture exuded a wanton casualness.

"Does your family know?"

Li Bingru didn't know why, but at this moment, she suddenly felt very distressed, and felt sorry for the young man in front of her who was obviously dying but still insisted on smiling and saying that he was fine.

Li Yuchen had a trace of strangeness in his heart, and pursed his pale lips, teaching people not to see the Pan Yong in his heart.

Li Bingru was so sensitive, seeing that Li Yuchen pursed his lips and didn't speak, he knew that he had committed a taboo, so he hurriedly spoke again: "Tianlong Castle had an assassin break in yesterday, I heard that the martial arts are not low, you can't help but be careful." ”

Li Bingru said as if she felt a sharp chill on her back again, and unconsciously touched her earlobe, secretly resenting that the assassin was a frivolous person.

Speaking lightly, Li Bingru timidly raised her eyes to look at the weak young man, and blushed for no reason.

"Weak?" Li Yuchen had an evil smile on his lips, and his suspicious eyes were watching every subtle change in Li Bingru, and the faint light was inexplicable.

"Hehehe!" Li Bingru was a little hairy when she was stared at, and thought of something, "I know you must be hungry, I'll go get you something to eat!" ”

"Snack you've had again?" Cunning flashed in the boy's eyes.

"Uh......" Li Bingru felt that something was wrong, and suddenly her eyes widened, pointing at Li Yuchen, "You, you, you are the assassin in black?!! ”
