Chapter 499: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow (Part I)

After hearing Yan Chixia's voice, Ning Caichen, who had not slept and was too dead, woke up slowly.

The moment he opened his eyes, he hurriedly raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and only after getting used to the sunlight did he look at Yan Chixia, who was still lying on him.

"Scholar, I'm sorry for crushing you all night!"

When Yan Chixia saw Ning Caichen wake up, she hurriedly said apologetically.

Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia's palm on his chest, and said helplessly, "Can you go down from me first?"

Yan Chixia reacted at this time, hurriedly got off Ning Caichen, and then struggled to stand up, but found that her hands and feet were weak, so she had to lie on the ground.

Ning Caichen took a deep breath and stood up, patting the dust on his body while asking Yan Chixia.

"Bearded, what the hell happened last night? How did you get out of the ground?"

His words made Yan Chixia can't help but think of what happened last night, and he sighed with a lot of heart, and said: "It's a long story! You help me go to the county town to find a doctor first! I'll tell you in detail!"

Ning Caichen, who was patting the dust on his body, suddenly stiffened the movements of his hands after hearing this, and then smiled wryly with a shy smile: "I want to do this too, but first, I am shy, and secondly, I have important things!"

After speaking, he glanced at Yan Chixia, whose face was pale and her lips were purple, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I show you the way, you can go to the doctor yourself!"

Yan Chixia sighed when she heard this, shook her head and said, "I am seriously injured, and I am weak at the moment, and it is difficult to do it at all!"

After saying this, he glanced at Ning Caichen, who was thinly dressed, and said, "It's better to do this, you send me to the doctor, and I'll pay you two silver taels!"

After Ning Caichen heard this, he glanced back at Lanruo Temple not far away, and suddenly sighed softly.

He was originally going to stay in Lanruo Temple to write the ledger blurred by the rain, but the fight in Lanruo Temple last night made him a little afraid of this ancient temple.

Scholars are always afraid of these Jianghu people who fight and kill.

And even a person with strong martial arts like a bearded man has been beaten into this appearance, if he goes in, he will definitely die or live!

As soon as he thought of this, he walked to Yan Chixia, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, and said, "I'll send you to the county seat first!"

After the words fell, he slowly squatted down, put Yan Chixia's arm on his shoulder, and then gritted his teeth to help Yan Chixia up, and walked towards the woods with difficulty.

Yan Chixia's pale and colorless face forced a smile out at this time, and thanked Ning Caichen.

In a few moments, their figures disappeared into the dense forest.

But because Ning Caichen didn't have much strength, they would rest for a long time every time they walked, so it wasn't until the afternoon that the two finally walked to Guobei County.

I saw that the streets of the county town were in chaos, and a burly man wearing official clothes kept arresting and interrogating people on the street with a long knife in his hand.

Yan Chixia, who was carried behind by Ning Caichen, couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene: "The officialdom is dark, the people are in turmoil, and demons are rampant, I don't know when this day will be the end~"

Ning Caichen didn't speak, just blushed, gritted his teeth and carried Yan Chixia on his back and walked slowly in the crowd.

Originally, he had to carry it hard, but the crowd was even more chaotic by those officials, and the crowd made it almost impossible for him to walk.

"Stop! Have you seen this man?"

"Haven't seen it, get out!"

The official errand walked through the crowd wantonly, interrogating passers-by incessantly.

Ning Caichen was afraid of getting into trouble, so he could only walk with his head down.

As a result, when he passed by a coffin shop, the owner of the coffin shop, who was forcing a young man with a yellow face and thin skin to buy a coffin, suddenly saw him in the crowd.

So, I saw the owner of the coffin shop, and shouted from a foot away: "Hey, that scholar, don't go!"

After Ning Caichen heard the voice, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

As a result, when the owner of the coffin shop saw this scene, he let go of the young man in the shop, and then chased him out of the store and shouted.

"Wait!"

"Don't go!"

The official who was interrogating passers-by in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes after hearing the words 'don't go', and immediately put the knife across his chest, and yelled with a fierce face: "Where are you yelling not to go!"

As he spoke, he pushed away the passers-by who were in front of him, rushed in the direction from which the voice came, and at the same time shouted incessantly: "Don't go!

When the other officials not far away heard his voice, their eyes also widened, and the horizontal knives walked through the crowd brutally.

The crowd became even more chaotic.

At this time, the owner of the coffin shop finally rushed to Ning Caichen's side. Then he said with a philistine smile on his face: "This little brother, I see that the person behind you is no longer good, my coffins here are all made of good wood, you might as well find out!"

Ning Caichen looked up with a wry smile and said, "This boss, I'm in a hurry to find a doctor, and I'm tired of getting out of the way!"

After hearing Ning Caichen's words, the owner of the coffin shop subconsciously waved his hand and said: "What kind of doctor are you looking for when you are injured like this? Don't you have to spend money to find a doctor? It is not certain whether you can be cured after spending money, why not use this money to buy a coffin? Don't worry, I will give you a 20% discount!"

After he finished saying this, before Ning Caichen could answer, he suddenly let out a shock, glared and said, "You...... You...... Aren't you the scholar who went to stay in Lanruo Temple last night? You're still alive?"

The moment these three words of Lanruo Temple sounded, the pedestrians on the entire street suddenly stopped, and the noisy sound disappeared in an instant, and the whole street became extremely silent, almost to the point where the needle could be heard!

Ning Caichen looked around with a strange expression, but when he turned around, the street was back to its previous noise.

When he turned his head back, the streets fell silent again.

At this time, the coffin shop owner's face was already full of shock.

He looked at Ning Caichen carefully, and his mouth made a 'tsk' sound, as if Ning Caichen could still be alive after staying in Lanruo Temple for one night, what an incredible thing.

Ning Caichen took a deep breath at this time and asked the owner of the coffin shop.

"This boss, do you know where there is a doctor?"

The owner of the coffin shop raised his head when he heard this, and snorted coldly with an unhappy face: "I sell coffins, how do I know what a doctor!"

Ning Caichen was about to speak, but he heard Yan Chixia on his back say weakly: "Let's find an inn first!"

After hearing Yan Chixia's words, Ning Caichen nodded slightly, then squeezed through the crowd around him and walked towards an inn in front of him.
