Chapter 52: Extremely Lucky
The sky gradually turned pale, and Xie Lingxiao woke up from his coma.
He frowned slightly and stretched his muscles, only to feel pain all over his body as if his bones were falling apart.
Xie Lingxiao sat up, rubbed his forehead lightly, and suddenly thought of the young man who fell off the cliff with him.
Looking around, I found the young man lying quietly not far away.
He stood up and walked to the young man. Xie Lingxiao shook him hard a few times, but he still didn't wake up.
He looked around, and apart from the trees, he could vaguely see a path, which was also covered with weeds.
Xie Lingxiao helped the boy up, carried him on his back, and walked away along the path.
I don't know how long I walked before a village appeared in my sight in the distance. When I got closer, I found that the village was not big and there were only a few households.
Xie Lingxiao came to the nearest house and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, an old man came out with trembling steps.
The old man saw Xie Lingxiao's face full of smiles: "Sir, what happened?"
Seeing the person he was carrying unconscious, the old man guessed that something big must have happened.
Xie Lingxiao rarely interacted with people, and rarely communicated with people. He pursed his lips and said, "Old man, can I stay with you?"
Seeing that he was not good at talking, the old man hesitated for a moment, let him into the yard, and took him to the next house.
"This is my son's room. He is not often at home, so you guys just live here." The old man glanced at Xie Lingxiao and opened the door for him.
In the past, there were people who came here to stay overnight, but most of the time he didn't dare to stay.
Now seeing that Xie Lingxiao is not good at speaking and is carrying an unconscious person, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to stay overnight.
Forget it, as long as he accumulates good deeds, he will consider it as a good deed.
Xie Lingxiao carried the boy to the room and put him on the wooden bed.
I turned around and said to the old man: "Thank you, old man."
When the old man saw them enter the room, he waved his hand and turned to leave. When he came back, he brought some water and food, put them on the table, and left.
Xie Lingxiao looked at the black, hard food on the plate. He had never seen it before and didn't know how to eat it.
He simply drank some water, helped the boy up and fed him some more water, then sat down and looked at the boy quietly.
Seeing that he had been unconscious all the way and still hadn't woken up, Xie Lingxiao reached out and untied the boy's clothes.
As he pulled, a jade pendant fell out of his arms.
When Xie Lingxiao saw the pattern on the jade pendant clearly, his eyes widened.
Isn't this his jade pendant? Hasn't it always been in Shen Jingxuan's hand? Why did it appear on this young man?
Xie Lingxiao stared at the jade pendant so closely that he almost forgot that his jade pendant was still in Shen Jingxuan's hand.
At first, he always asked her for the jade pendant, but since some time ago, he no longer insisted on getting it back.
Xie Lingxiao looked up at the boy's face, then slowly moved his gaze to his ear, and finally reached out and touched behind his ear.
The skin behind the ear was smooth and delicate. Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but retract his fingers. In order to confirm his thoughts, he reached out again.
When he touched behind the boy's ear, he noticed a subtle bulge where the skin met.
Xie Lingxiao gently lifted the bulge, and under the thin skin, Shen Jingxuan's pretty face came into view.
After a moment, Xie Lingxiao adjusted Shen Jingxuan's face and the corners of his lips gradually curled up.
At this moment, he was very glad that he had grabbed her in time and fell off the cliff with her.
Fortunately, I didn't leave her alone and let her be surrounded and killed.
If she was alone at that time...
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao's heart tightened inexplicably, and he even felt a little scared.
He got up and walked out of the room, found the old man and asked for some water, then returned to the room.
Xie Lingxiao gently undressed Shen Jingxuan, and when he saw the wounds of varying sizes on her body, his dark eyes instantly turned red.
What kind of woman is she? How much has she been through to leave her alone and yet be so calm in the face of those assassins?
Thinking about the corpses on the ground, there were at least twenty or thirty people, and they were all killed by her alone.
Xie Lingxiao suddenly felt sad, and even felt sorry for her for having gone through so much and being so badly injured.
He silently cleaned Shen Jingxuan's wound, bandaged her simply, and put the jade pendant back into her lapel.
The sun is at its highest point and the breeze is gentle.
Lu Zhenyu paced around the room anxiously.
He was waiting for news from the guard, but the guard had not returned yet.
Lu Jinxuan, who also learned the news, came to Lu Zhenyu's yard.
Before she walked into the room, the voice reached Lu Zhenyu's ears.
"Brother, is there any news?" She opened the door anxiously.
Lu Zhenyu saw her and raised the corner of his mouth: "Sister, you are here."
"Any news?" Lu Jinxuan asked again when she saw that he didn't answer.
Lu Zhenyu took Lu Jinxuan's hand and said, "Sister, the news hasn't come back yet. Let's wait together."
He pulled Lu Jinxuan to sit down, looked at the maid standing next to them, and had to sit next to her.
What he didn't know was that in order to prevent him from doing other things to her, Lu Jinxuan deliberately kept the maid by her side.
Hearing intermittent footsteps in the distance, the two men looked up and saw a blood-covered guard stumbling towards them.
Lu Zhenyu stood up suddenly and walked towards the guard: "What happened?"
"My lord, they are all dead. I am the only one alive."
Lu Zhenyu glanced at Lu Jinxuan and asked, "Were they all killed by Shen Jingxuan?"
The guard said cautiously: "I didn't see Shen Jingxuan, it was a man following her."
Lu Zhenyu kicked the guard and said angrily, "Useless, you all died before you even saw anyone. What use are you?"
"Get out of here and stop being an eyesore."
Lu Jinxuan was so angry that her eyes turned red. Even after sending so many people, they still couldn't kill Shen Jingxuan. She was really lucky.
But who is the man next to her? Is he the Regent?
Thinking of Xie Lingxiao, Lu Jinxuan clenched her hands tightly.
No, she must make Shen Jingxuan die. If it doesn't work once, she will try it twice. She doesn't believe that she can't kill her.
No matter what the cost, she will not let Shen Jingxuan go.
At this time, the one who was even angrier than them was the queen.
She angrily smashed everything in the bedroom because none of the people she sent out to hunt down Shen Jingxuan came back to report.
But Shen Jingxuan didn't know all this. She was lying on the wooden bed at the moment, waving her hands and muttering to herself.
"Daddy..."
"Daddy, don't go..."
She grabbed the arm beside her and hugged it tightly, which startled Xie Lingxiao who was lying on the edge of the bed.
"Daddy..." Shen Jingxuan kept shouting.
When Xie Lingxiao got closer, he heard her mumbling and shook his head and laughed.
He didn't expect that at such a young age, Shen Jingxuan would treat him as a father.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan quietly, letting him hold his arm tightly.
Listening to her mumbling, Xie Lingxiao suddenly felt that Shen Jingxuan was not as strong as she looked, she just kept the matter deep in her heart.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan intently, as if he could never see enough.
Feeling the scorching heat on his arm, Xie Lingxiao instantly came back to his senses.
Shen Jingxuan held his hand, which was so hot that it seemed to be able to burn his skin through his clothes.
Xie Lingxiao reached out his hand to Shen Jingxuan's forehead.
Noticing that she was running a fever, he quickly got up, went outside to get some water, and kept wiping Shen Jingxuan's forehead.
They had nothing on them when they fell off the cliff, and now they can't contact the secret guards, so they can only wait.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao could only ask the old man to help take care of Shen Jingxuan.
But the thought of leaving her here alone made him feel uneasy.
Xie Lingxiao sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about how to solve the current situation, but Shen Jingxuan had already had a serious fever.
She just felt cold, with no warm spot on her body, and instinctively looked for a trace of warmth.
As Shen Jingxuan got closer, she rested her head on Xie Lingxiao's legs, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his waist.
