Rebirth of the Poisonous Daughter

Chapter 63 Refuge
Su Ruiran stood in place holding the medicine in her hand, looked at his back, and thought of the scarred face under that hideous mask. Although it had been such a long time, it was still unforgettable.

Who is he?Why save yourself again?

For the time being, no one can answer these doubts with her.

A gust of cold wind blew by in the dark night, and she couldn't help shivering. She immediately thought of Nangong Linglai, and hurried back along the way she came.

Seeing that Nangong Ling was still lying there, his face pale and bloodless, although he hadn't woken up yet, but seeing that he was safe and sound, Su Ruiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She separated his trouser legs with the dagger in her hand, and pulled the arrow from the wound for him.

Fortunately, the blood around the wound was red. It seemed that the arrow was not poisonous, so Su Ruiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.But why was he unconscious?Seeing Nangong Ling's pale face, Su Ruiran understood that she must have escaped with her for so long and lost too much blood.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you don't have the burden of yourself, how could he suffer such an injury with his skill.

Thinking of this, Su Ruiran felt a lot in her heart.

He took out the medicine given by the man in black and found that it could be used to stop the bleeding, so he applied it to Nangong Ling and bandaged it.

Surrounded by barren mountains and wild mountains, it was exceptionally quiet. After fleeing for so long just now, there were even more people fighting.Su Ruiran originally planned to sit aside and wait for Nangong Ling to wake up, but when she was sitting against a tree, she fell asleep without knowing it.

Hearing someone's voice in a daze, she woke up suddenly, but her mouth was covered all of a sudden.

She looked sideways in surprise, and found that Nangong Ling had squatted beside her at some point, covering her mouth and making a silent gesture to her.

She also heard footsteps around her, the rustling of grass, accompanied by human voices.

"Strange, I saw Lao Qi and the others chasing after me, but why can't I see anyone. You guys, search around carefully."

"Yes."

……

Su Ruiran understood that it was the pursuers who came again.It must have been that the group of people hadn't gone back for too long, that's why they attracted the others.

But what should I do now?

She couldn't help looking at Nangong Ling, and saw his obsidian-like eyes staring straight ahead, as if he could see in the dark.It appears he has recovered.

For some reason, she suddenly felt unreasonably relieved, but instantly felt even more exhausted.

Nangong Ling kept his eyes on the enemy in front of him, so he didn't pay much attention to the changes in the woman around him.When he woke up from a coma, he saw the bandaged wound on his leg and Su Ruiran who was sleeping beside him, so he knew that this woman had saved him.

After careful calculation, this is not the first time.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Su Ruiran couldn't help feeling a little nervous.Although the whole person is motionless, his eyes can't stop looking around.This place seems a bit familiar.

She suddenly remembered, isn't this the place where the ghost-faced man brought her that night?
She looked to the ground, and found that the entrance of the cave was hidden under the slightly protruding dead tree branches. If she didn't look carefully in the dark, she wouldn't find anything unusual at all.

She stood up suddenly, but was grabbed by Nangong Ling.

Nangong Ling looked at her and frowned slightly. What is this woman doing?
Judging by the sound, there were no less than twenty people chasing them this time, and it was not an easy task to deal with them.Even he didn't have much confidence in such an injured situation.

However, Su Ruiran didn't speak, but flirted with him, which made Nangong Ling even more confused.

She didn't have time to explain, so she picked up a branch and poked it tentatively on the ground a few times, but she hit something hard.She squatted down and fumbled, and quickly found the gap between the entrance of the tunnel and the ground under the dead leaves, trying to open the entrance by relying on her memory.

It's just that there is a thick stone slab at the entrance, and it is a bit difficult for her to lift it by herself.

Nangong Ling saw it, and although he didn't understand what was going on, he came over decisively to help.

The two lifted the stone slab and hid in the ground.All I could hear were footsteps above my head, and it was pitch black all around.It didn't take long before a bright spot appeared in front of Su Ruiran's eyes, and when Su Ruiran saw things clearly again, she saw Nangong Ling holding a fire fold in his hand.

He thought he would ask himself, but Nangong Ling didn't even look at her, lit a lamp next to him with a torch, and walked deep into the tunnel with it.

"Wait, wait." Su Ruiran hurriedly chased after her.I thought in my heart, if he asked me how to explain it later, would it be possible to tell him about the ghost-masked man?But besides this, is there any other reason to explain that you know this place?
Then Nangong Ling didn't say a word along the way, until the two of them reached the bronze door, Nangong Ling finally stopped.

The surroundings of the tunnel are still paved with flat square bricks, exactly the same as when she came last time.Looking at the copper door in front of her, Su Ruiran still remembered how to open it, but she began to hesitate in her heart.Will the door be opened, and the ghost-faced man and the girl will be inside?

Such an intrusion would be somewhat abrupt.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Nangong Ling say to her in an irresistible and commanding tone: "Open this door."

She froze for a moment, and looked over in a little surprise.

However, Nangong Ling didn't change his face, and continued: "You don't know." He knew very well that if this girl could bring him here, she would definitely know the way to open this door.

Su Ruiran knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she had no choice but to count from bottom to top on the right side of the bronze door, and when she reached the sixth brick, she pulled out the brick, then took out a key from the gap inside, and handed it In the hands of Nangong Ling, his face was full of helplessness.

Nangong Ling took the key, opened the door without saying a word, pushed the door and entered.

Fortunately, the scene in front of her made Su Ruiran breathe a sigh of relief.The embroidered bed carved with wisteria, the mahogany round table, and the neatly arranged tea sets on the table are still the same as the ones she saw that day, but the man and woman went to nowhere.

Su Ruiran saw that the surrounding furniture was not stained with dust, and it didn't look like it had been unoccupied for a long time.

Thinking of the possibility that the owner here might come back, she felt a little uneasy.

However, Nangong Ling walked to the one-man-high mahogany cabinet next to the embroidery bed, and opened the cabinet directly.

Su Ruiran was about to speak out to stop him, but saw him take out a few bottles of medicine from the cabinet, sit down by himself, and apply the wound.

Su Ruiran looked at him in surprise, Nangong Ling pretended not to see her gaze, knowing that this girl would have such an expression.He threw a bottle of wound medicine to Su Ruiran, and then he smeared the wound on his own. As expected, Su Ruiran said, "How do you know where this is?"

He didn't answer, but saw Su Ruiran stand up vigilantly, looking at him.

As soon as he raised his eyes, a chill burst out from his deep and cold eyes. Looking at the woman in front of him, he said coldly: "I don't need to explain to you, just like I wouldn't ask why you know this place."

Su Ruiran was silent when she heard the words. Indeed, she also couldn't explain this question, so what right did she have to ask others?
While she was in a daze, someone grabbed her wrist suddenly.

She looked up at Nangong Ling in surprise, but Nangong Ling lifted up her sleeves involuntarily.

"What are you doing?" Su Ruiran was startled, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, but Nangong Ling slammed her in front of her, and said two words in a cold tone, "Don't move!" After finishing speaking, he went up to her personally medicine.

The ointment was icy cold on the hands, with a burning sting.

She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to endure, but she heard a gentle voice in her ear, with an unreal feeling in her trance, she said to herself: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."

She opened her eyes and saw Nangong Ling was lowering her head, seriously applying medicine to herself.The expression was still as cold as before, and there was really no trace of tenderness.

It's an illusion, I must have heard it wrong.

She thought so, but saw Nangong Ling put on the good medicine, put down his sleeves, and suddenly softened his eyes towards her, and said softly: "Okay, don't move around until you recover."

"I know, I know." Her tone was mixed with a little surprise.

Nangong Ling let go of her hand, took out a quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the floor.

"What are you doing?" Su Ruiran looked at him in surprise.

Nangong Ling lay down with her clothes on, propped her head on one hand and pointed to the embroidery bed, and said to her, "I can't go back tonight, you sleep there."

"But..." Su Ruiran was about to speak, but Nangong Ling turned over and turned her back.

Su Ruiran was silent for a while, looked at Nangong Ling's back on the ground, and then looked at the embroidery bed.I always feel something is wrong in my heart, I just broke into other people's place and still sleep here, what should I do if they come back suddenly?

She looked up at the top of her head, and the dim candlelight cast ghostly shadows on the stone slab.

At this time, the person who was chasing him was still outside. With the injuries of himself and Nangong Ling, it was really not suitable to go out again.After thinking about it, staying here to recharge your batteries is indeed the best way at present.

Su Ruiran carefully walked around Nangong Ling, turned her head to look at him, saw that he had his eyes closed, his head was resting on his hands, and he didn't know if he was asleep or not.

Su Ruiran was lying on the bed with all her clothes on, facing inside, with her eyes closed. She heard that the surroundings were unusually quiet, but she still couldn't fall asleep completely peacefully. She kept being vigilant and carefully listening to the movements around her.In the end, I don't know how long it took, maybe because I was too tired, I finally fell asleep.

Falling asleep, she suddenly had the urge to urinate and opened her eyes.

Originally subconsciously wanted to call "Nurse Wang", but just as soon as he uttered the word "Wang", he saw Nangong Ling's face head-on.Seeing Nangong Ling lying on the ground, she was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that this was not in her own room.

I feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately Nangong Ling has fallen asleep.

But... She looked around, and there was nothing to hide around.But I really can't bear it anymore, what should I do to change it?

Su Ruiran tiptoed down from the bed, walked to Nangong Ling's side, and squatted down carefully to make sure that he was really asleep.

She got up again and looked around for something to use as a shelter. There was a chamber pot, but there was no screen or anything.After all, Nangong Ling was still sleeping here, it would be too embarrassing if the sound of his urination alarmed him.

Su Ruiran hesitated for a long time, but felt more and more unable to bear it.Seeing a gap behind the bed, without saying a word, he squeezed in with the chamber pot.

After urinating, the whole person is completely relaxed.

She just felt an indescribable joy in her heart, and she sighed secretly, almost couldn't bear it anymore, if she kept holding it like this, she would definitely die.

She got up and was lifting her pants when she suddenly felt a grimace looking at her through the gauze curtain on the bed.

She was so scared that she let out an "ah" and almost kicked the chamber pot over.Busily put on his pants and ran out from behind the bed, looking around.But when they got outside, there was no one there. Looking at the empty bedding on the ground, Nangong Ling had disappeared.
