Dark Arrow Chapter 73: Debt of Kindness (1)
The chirping of birds, riding the cool morning breeze, wafts lightly from the distant mountains, and the fragrance of flowers and young leaves ripples through the nose, which is both fresh and sweet, and refreshing.
It was soft and comfortable underneath, as if he was sleeping on a bed, and Dongfang Zhen slowly opened his eyes.
Plenty of light. In front of me is a wooden roof. There was a spider's web on the beam, glittering white. The spider's web moved slightly, a mosquito stuck in the web, struggling desperately, and a small fuchsia spider quickly crawled over the edge of the web and bit the mosquito in one bite.
The room was red, and he felt the sun shining in. Turning his head to look in the direction of the light source, between the fuchsia windows with several half-open sashes, a large beam of golden sunlight entered through the window. Outside the window, there are several pomegranate trees, and the branches are blooming with bright red pomegranate flowers, which are like flowing fires under the morning sun.
Dongfang Zhen was about to sit up, suddenly felt his wrists and ankles tightened, as if he was firmly bound by something, he was shocked, turned his head to look at his wrist, and saw a black cowhide belt on his wrist, and the cowhide belt was connected to the cow tendon rope, tightly tied to the edge of the bed.
Dongfang shook his hands and feet and pulled with force, the rope was stretched straight, making a "gurgling" sound, but he couldn't get rid of it; at the same time, his body was full of knife-like pain, and his chest and abdomen were as uncomfortable as thousands of steel needles piercing together.
"Ahh
"Heh, are you awake?" a sweet, crisp and excited girl's voice came from outside the house, and then the boots sounded, and Dongfang Zhen heard her approaching.
"Wake up?" A strange and pretty face with white and red came into view, Sakura's lips were slightly open, Yao's nose was straight, her big black eyes were shining, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
"You...... Who is it?" Dongfang looked at her in shock.
"Look at you, the wounds are all torn! I must have struggled just now!" the girl gently lifted the thin quilt that covered him, glanced at him quickly, and glared at him with a frown.
Dongfang Zhen looked at her light and angry expression, became more and more confused, and struggled uneasily, "Who are you?...... What are you tying me up?"
"Don't move!" the girl pressed his shoulder, her eyes widening, "You guy, why are you so disobedient?!"
Dongfang Zhen felt that she didn't have a trace of malice, and put her mind at ease, but he still stared at her with suspicious eyes.
"That's right, but it's good for you. The girl's face was a little gentle, and she suddenly smiled, like a snow-white pear blossom blooming, elegant and warm, "My name is Qing'er." ”
"Qing'er?" Dongfang Zhen blinked, "...... Where is this?"
"Taiyi Pavilion. ”
"Is it in the Chu Xiang League?" Dongfang Zhen slowly regained his memory.
"That's right!" Qing'er smiled, her teeth were thin and white, and her eyebrows were faintly curved, "You've been in a coma for five days!"
"It's been five days?" Dongfang Zhen looked at her in surprise, and suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, it was Brother Yun who sent me, right?"
"Yes. Qing'er nodded.
"Miss Qing'er, can you ...... Can you help me untie the rope? I want to go and thank Brother Yun and them. ”
"Don't do it, Mr. said, you must not move!" Qing'er waved her hand and shook her head, and then explained: "Besides, Yun Xiangjie and they are not here, so they will leave a long time ago." ”
"Gone, where are you going?"
"I don't know. They have tasks all year round and rarely stay at the helm. ”
"Oh. Dongfang Zhen was slightly disappointed.
"Oh,...... Listen to Yun Xiangjie say: Your name is Dongfang Zhen, and you are a proud disciple of the Kunlun faction. Right?" asked Qing'er as she stared at him with a wink.
"Yes. Dongfang Zhen bowed his head lightly and said modestly: "How can you be called a proud disciple? ”
"Brother Dongfang, you are too modest!" Qing'er flicked her index finger and turned her gaze to admiration, "Do you know that everyone praises you and says that you are a hero!"
"Where?" Dongfang Zhen smiled bitterly.
"You don't know how scary it was when I first sent it to the Imperial Doctor's Hall: it looked like it had just been fished out of the blood water tank! I didn't even dare to look at it...... Luckily, there was a gentleman in ......."
"Sir?...... Which gentleman?"
"Mr. Wang! People call him Doctor Wang. ”
"Oh. Dongfang Zhen was relieved, "It's me who was treated by this Wang Divine Doctor, right?"
"Yes!" Qing'er nodded and smiled: "If it weren't for Mr. himself, who else would have saved you?...... However, the gentleman also praised you, saying that you were a man of great perseverance, and that if you were an ordinary person, you would have ...... long ago."
"By the way, where is this Divine Doctor Wang? I have to go and thank him immediately!" Dongfang Zhen was agitated, and he wanted to get up again, but he forgot that he was still bound.
"Alas, why are you so strong!" Qing'er hurriedly pressed his shoulder, "told you not to move, why don't you have a long memory...... Sir is not here. When he comes, it's not too late for you to thank him!"
Dongfang Zhen saw her caring look, and his heart was moved, and he looked at her in a daze.
"You...... Why are you looking at me like this?" Qing'er Qiao's face was slightly red, as bright as a lotus, and she gently turned her eyes away shyly.
"You...... Why are you so nice to me?...... Thank you!" Dongfang Zhen looked at her embarrassed and turned his gaze.
"It's my duty to take care of you. "Qing'er is no longer shy, Zhengse.
"Duty?" Dongfang Zhen smiled: "So, this Divine Doctor Wang is your master, right?"
"Is this?...... The same can be said of it. A smile broke into Qing'er's face.
"So, Miss Qing'er, your medical skills are also very good!" Dongfang Zhen was in awe. He really didn't expect that the delicate young girl in front of him turned out to be an apprentice of a miracle doctor.
"Gao Ming, do you say I'm a good doctor?" Qing'er pointed to her pretty Yao nose and giggled: "Tell you: I, I can't do anything!"
"Miss Qing'er, you are really modest!" Dongfang Zhen smiled and shook his head. Of course he wouldn't believe it, if there was nothing extraordinary, how could the king of the divine doctor be willing to accept her as an apprentice?
"Hehe, it's really not modest!" Qing'er said seriously: "I, I'll only give Mr. a hand." For example, handing tools, wrapping bandages, taking care of the wounded......"
Dongfang shook his heart and asked, "By the way, Miss Qing'er, what's your surname?"
"Didn't I tell you? Qing'er!" Qing'er smiled, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.
"Hehe, I'm asking you what's your last name?"
"My last name...... Guess what. Qing'er blinked her big watery eyes and looked at him with a grin.
"Hey, this ...... How can you guess?" Dongfang Zhen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it." ”
Qing'er chuckled, then pursed her cherry lips, pretending to be helpless and sighed softly: "Hey, I can't help it, I'll tell you! My surname is Shangguan, and my name is Shangguan Qing." ”
"Shangguan Qing?" Dongfang Zhen's heart suddenly tightened, staring at her eyes, "That's ...... Who are you the leader of the Shangguan League?"
"My daddy!" Shangguan Qing smiled, her expression was full of pride, she stared at Dongfang Zhen's reaction, and when she saw that his expression suddenly turned cold, her heart was cold, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Dongfang, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. Dongfang Zhen smiled bitterly: "I just didn't expect that you were Miss Shangguan!"
"Hmph, what's so rare?" Shangguan Qing said goodbye, seeing that he still had that indifferent look, he wondered in his heart: Did he know his father? Or did he have a prejudice against his father?
"Brother Dongfang, don't you like my father?"
"Where!" Dongfang Zhen barely squeezed out a smile, "The master of the Shangguan League is eloquent and strategic, which is very admirable!"
"You, with my father, are exactly the same kind of people!" Shangguan Qing looked at him with admiration, "I heard that you are seriously injured and can't even stand up, and you are still desperately trying to protect others to escape!
"Really?" Dongfang Zhen sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Dongfang, you ...... But did I you off just now?"
"Where?...... How could it be?!" Dongfang Zhen saw that she was cautious, for fear of annoying his expression, and his heart was moved and pity, and he comforted softly.
"By the way, Brother Dongfang, who is so vicious, who hurt you so badly!" Shangguan Qing asked hatefully.
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words!" Dongfang Zhen sighed, "A few days ago, a respected senior in the martial arts was killed, but his subordinates wronged me, saying that I killed me, and they had to kill me to pay for my life." Fortunately, my master and they tried their best to protect me, so I escaped...... By the way, Miss Shangguan ......"
"Really! Don't call me Miss, call me Qing'er!" Shangguan Qing was slightly stunned and sighed lightly: "Say, what's the matter?"
"Hmm...... Miss Qing'er, can you do me a favor: let your people go to the rivers and lakes to inquire about the news: the head of the Kunlun Sect of Jade...... and the Sang Qinghong girl of the Kongtong faction, how is the situation now?"
"Don't worry! I'll give the order in a moment, and I'm sure there will be news soon. Shangguan Qing readily agreed, suddenly frowned, and asked curiously: "Brother Dongfang, that Sang Qinghong girl, is your ...... Friends?"
"Yes. ”
"Oh. ...... She must be beautiful!" Shangguan Qing stared at his eyes intently, and for some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart.
"Yes. Dongfang shook his eyes and looked at the roof, and the shadow of Sang Qinghong appeared in his mind, and his heart ached faintly.
"I see! No wonder you always call her name when you're unconscious, so that's it!" Shangguan Qing gritted her teeth lightly, her eyes showing a look of resentment, "Hmph! I must find her and see how beautiful she is!"
Dongfang Zhen was surprised and looked at her blankly.
Shangguan Qing saw that he was looking at him with strange eyes, so he turned his head away, and after sulking for a while, he turned his head and said, "Brother Dongfang, I have to go and tell Mr. that you have woken up." I'm leaving. ”
"Good. Thank you!"
"Don't bother you, just get some rest. ”
Dongfang Zhen stared at her turned back, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted, "Shangguan...... Miss Qing'er!"
Shangguan Qing let out a "grace", turned around, and smiled: "What's the matter?"
"Such. Dongfang Zhen said: "Miss Qing'er, you don't have to take care of me in person in the future." I can do it myself. ”
"Why?" Shangguan Qing's face turned cold when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "You...... Do you hate me?"
"No...... By no means. Dongfang Zhen was a little panicked, "Miss Qing'er, I thought: for the sake of mere mere beings, you really don't need to condescend...... ...... who condescend to serve"
"What's the matter!" Shangguan Qing interrupted him angrily, "Didn't I tell you: this is my duty!"
"You...... I ......"
"Don't worry about you, I'm sorry!" Shangguan Qing understood his thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief, and chuckled: "Don't think nonsense! I'll see you later!"
"This ......" Dongfang Zhen wanted to tell the difference, but he was speechless for a while, and looked at her blankly.
Shangguan Qing pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and walked out of the room.
Dongfang Zhen tilted his head and looked at her autumn-colored slender back and walked out of the door, feeling a little heavy. He is very smart, and he can clearly feel the thoughts of an innocent and straightforward girl like Shangguan Qing.
In the past few years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, situations like this have happened more than once. But he always took the love of his children very lightly before, and always wanted to wait until he broke out of the roll call hall before considering marriage. It wasn't until he was in danger that Sang Qinghong desperately rescued him, which made him move his true feelings and give birth to an unforgettable heart of love.
But now, the ghost envoy was saved by the people of Chu Xiangmeng. However, this Chu Xiang League is an enemy of the righteous path of martial arts, but he has received the grace of saving his life from others for no reason, but he has taught himself how to repay the kindness of others in the future?
What's even more annoying is that he can see that Shangguan Qing has developed a love for him. He knew that this time he would end up like other girls before, with a deliberate and ruthless end......
