Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 231 Crying
Pang Lei was sent by Fu Bai to help. Fu Bai took down the door panels of the nearby houses. He and Yan Ci Wan worked together to put the unconscious Xiao Wang on the door panels, and then the two of them carried Xiao Wang out.

They walked through the chaotic streets and left the black market through a secret passage.

After walking out of the secret passage, Yan Ciwan found that they had come to the backyard of a winery, Pang Lei explained.

"This is also an industry of the Five Gods Cult. It is nominally a winery, but in fact it is an important entrance to the black market. Usually, most people who want to do business in the black market come in from here."

The inner guards and palace soldiers just now also entered the black market through this secret passage.

Now this winery has been controlled by the Internal Guard Bureau, and there are internal guards guarding it tightly inside and outside.

When Si Buping heard that Yan Ciwan had come out, he immediately went to the backyard and saw that her thigh was injured, her clothes were stained with blood, her eyes were red, and her mask was stained with blood. She looked extremely miserable.

He immediately asked someone to send Yan Ciwan to treat his injuries, but Yan Ciwan flatly refused.

"Xiao Liu is in a critical condition now. Please help me find a quiet room."

Only then did Si Buping notice Xiao Wang lying unconscious on the wooden board. Although Xiao Wang had no obvious external injuries, his face was pale and his breath was weak, with blood coming from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that his life was hanging by a thread!

He frowned and asked, "What happened to Xiao Liulang?"

"There's no time to explain now, hurry up, please!"

Because he was too anxious, Yan Ciwan's attitude was inevitably a little fierce.

Si Buping's methods were well known to everyone. Pang Lei was afraid that Yan Ciwan would annoy Si Buping. Just as he was about to remind Yan Ciwan to be more careful, he heard Si Buping speak.

"Send Xiao Liulang to the inn next door. There are many guest rooms there."

Pang Lei took the opportunity to look at Si Buping, but saw that he looked calm, without any dissatisfaction on his face, which made Pang Lei quite surprised. When did the Grand Chief's temper become so good?
Yan Ci Wan and Pang Lei carried Xiao Wang out of the winery and went to the inn next door.

After they left, Si Buping sent someone back to the governor's mansion to pick up Chaolu. The wound on Yan Ciwan's leg was still bleeding and had to be treated as soon as possible.

Xiao Wang was carried into the guest room and placed on the bed.

Yan Ciwan asked everyone to leave, leaving only her and Xiao Wang in the room.

She quickly took off Xiao Wang's shirt, exposing his chest, then placed her palms on it, closed her eyes and began to practice the Art of Immortality.

A steady stream of internal energy overflowed from her palms and entered Xiao Wang's body. His body gradually regained its temperature and his complexion became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Yan Ciwan had only one thought in his mind, which was to save Xiao Wang's life and not let him die.

She gave all her internal energy to Xiao Wang without any reservation.

Before she knew it, her face was becoming paler and her body was becoming colder.

"Aci, it's OK."

Xiao Wang's voice reached Yan Ciwan's ears, and she came to her senses and found that her internal strength was almost exhausted.

She opened her eyes and met Xiao Wang's eyes.

He had already woken up, but he didn't have the strength to get up, so he could only lie on the bed and stare at her quietly.

He slowly raised his right hand, held her wrist, and softly repeated: "It's okay, I'm fine now."

Knowing that he was out of danger, Yan Ciwan felt relieved and could finally relax.

She felt dizzy and cold all over, and fell headfirst onto Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang tensed up, lowered his head to look at her, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Ciwan wanted to stand up, but her hands and feet were too weak to stand up.

The mask on her face was pressed against Xiao Wang's chest. At this moment, she could clearly hear his heartbeat, beat after beat, steady and powerful.

Maybe it was because she was too cold and Xiao Wang’s arms were too warm, she was reluctant to leave and just let herself lie on him.

"I feel a little dizzy." Yan Ciwan's voice came through the mask, sounding a little muffled.

Xiao Wang said: "You may have lost too much blood."

"Maybe."

Xiao Wang felt her wrist was very cold, and he used all his strength to pull the quilt next to him. He finally managed to pull the quilt over to cover the two of them.

In this way, she should feel warmer, Xiao Wang thought to himself.

Yan Ciwan closed her eyes and listened carefully to the heartbeat of another person. She tried hard to forget all the unpleasantness. She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, so that the sadness in her heart would disappear as well.

But I can't forget it.

The past scenes kept coming to her mind: her father holding her little hand and teaching her how to walk; her father helping her mount a horse and teaching her how to ride and shoot arrows; her father carefully preparing a birthday surprise for her and looking at her with pride and love in his eyes...

All these beautiful memories that she had cherished so carefully finally turned into sharp blades and pierced her heart.

She felt a severe pain in her heart and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Xiao Wang held her shoulders and asked with concern: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you seriously injured? Let's find a doctor to check you out."

Yan Ciwan gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back the urge to cry, but tears still flowed out.

Tears wet Xiao Wang's chest. He was slightly startled and asked cautiously.

"Aci, are you crying?"

Yan Ciwan took a deep breath and tried to hold back his tears: "No."

Xiao Wang did not ask any more questions. He gently stroked the back of Yan Ciwan's neck, again and again, gently and slowly.

The tears that Yan Ciwan had tried so hard to hold back suddenly burst out under his comfort. She went from sobbing softly to crying loudly.

At this moment, Si Buping was standing outside the guest room door, with Uncle Jiu and Chao Lu following behind him.

Just now, after Chao Lu received the news that Yan Ci Wan was injured, she immediately set out from the Governor's Mansion. Uncle Jiu knew that Xiao Wang and Yan Ci Wan were together, so he followed.

Originally Si Buping wanted to bring Chaolu here to treat Yan Ciwan's injuries, but he didn't expect to hear crying coming from the guest room as soon as he arrived here.

The crying was so sad that all three of them stopped.

Uncle Jiu's heart suddenly rose and he asked nervously.

"Why is Madam Ning crying so sadly? Could it be that Liu Lang..."

Si Buping thought of Xiao Wang's dying appearance just now, and felt a little unsure for a moment.

He walked up, knocked on the door, and called Ning Ci's name.

Yan Ciwan's crying in the house suddenly stopped.

She was so absorbed in crying that she didn't notice someone approaching outside the house.

Knowing that her crying was heard by outsiders, Yan Ciwan felt extremely embarrassed. She immediately stood up, took off the mask on her face, and quickly wiped away the tears on her face.

But no matter how clean she wiped it, it couldn't hide the traces of her crying.

There was another knock on the door.

Si Buping: "Ning Ci, what happened?"

Yan Ciwan wanted to say that it was okay, but the voice that came out of his mouth was extremely hoarse and had a strong nasal tone.

At this time, Xiao Wang spoke up and responded for her.

"Thank you for your concern, we are fine."
