After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line
Chapter 53 Encountering a Killer
The forest in early winter is particularly cold.
There are a lot of autumn leaves piled up on the ground.
The withered yellow leaves are like yellowed fragments of memories, constantly accumulating traces of time. They try to bury their past beauty and youth with thick soil.
Walking in the woods, Rong Su would fall into an illusion of distortion as she looked at the yellow leaves falling from the branches from time to time.
It was as if all her rebirth and resurrection seemed fake, like the fleeting life and death of a mayfly, which might be shattered and cease to exist in the blink of an eye.
Shen Peiqing, who was following Rong Su, saw her suddenly standing there motionless. Curious, he walked over to take a look.
Seeing that she was staring at a withered yellow leaf in her palm, he looked at her sideways. Her pretty little face revealed an unfathomable sadness.
This made him wonder, does she also have sad moments?
For a long time, in his heart, Rong Su was like a woman without real emotions, as if she was a person wandering outside this world.
Everything she does is unexpected, and she doesn't even care what anyone thinks, and does some strange things.
At the same time, she would not care about the danger, as if as long as she wanted to do something, she had to do it.
In his opinion, he couldn't figure out or understand her various actions, but he was not qualified to ask.
Shen Peiqing thought that he had no right to ask, so he should just comfort her. Just as he was about to say something, Rong Su had already adjusted her mood and restored her indifferent and hypocritical smile.
At the same time, she urged him, "I need to find some herbs. There's one that's easy to identify. I'll describe it to you. Can you help me find it?"
Unexpectedly, she didn't need comfort so soon. Shen Peiqing swallowed the words that were stuck in his throat.
"Ah."
Rong Su then briefly described the herb to him, and told Shen Peiqing, "This kind of herb is usually found under the shade of trees, and it needs half shade and half sun to grow well. It's early winter now, so it's not easy to find, but there should still be some. Look for it."
Shen Peiqing listened carefully to Rong Su's words, then nodded and turned to find the herb she wanted.
Seeing Shen Peiqing going to look for it, Rong Su also started to look for the remaining few.
I kept looking along the way, thinking that it was early winter and many herbs would soon wither, so it would be difficult to find them.
Unexpectedly, he could find quite a few. Rong Su squatted down and picked a lot of the herbs he needed. In less than an incense stick of time, he had collected all the herbs.
At this time, she stood up and prepared to find Shen Peiqing to ask that guy if he had found the herb she wanted.
I turned around and looked around, but didn't see anyone. It was strange because they were all nearby just now.
After collecting the herbs, Rong Su shouted into the woods, "Shen Peiqing! Are you okay? Where are you?"
But what came was gusts of silent air and the sound of cold wind.
Suddenly she became a little impatient and began to complain: "Where did this guy go? He should have told her in advance if he was going far. It would be better to let Gu Yuer accompany her next time. He is such an unreliable guy."
As she was walking along a grassy path with gaps in it, she could hear some heavy breathing as she got closer.
I even heard several different footsteps.
Rong Su noticed something was wrong and quickly pushed aside the bushes. After passing through several bushes, she finally saw Shen Peiqing.
But the scene before him was terrifying.
Shen Peiqing was surrounded by a group of killers wearing black clothes and masks. Those killers were holding sharp swords and looked ferocious. There was an indescribable murderous aura and danger there.
"Grand Prince. Ah, that's not right. You are a wanted criminal now, Shen Peiqing. I advise you to surrender. Otherwise, you will die miserably later."
The leader was a man in black. He had half of his face exposed and there was a very obvious scar at the right corner of his eye. He looked very fierce.
Shen Peiqing was not afraid at all when facing these killers with swords in their hands. He looked at them coldly, with a coldness around him that could freeze people to death.
"Even though I've temporarily lost my status as a prince, my surname is not something you can casually call out!"
Several killers looked at each other, and then burst into laughter, as if they were mocking Shen Peiqing's words and did not take him seriously at all.
"What if we shout? No one will know, because you will report to the underworld soon." The leading killer spoke with contempt, and then his tone became fierce.
As soon as the words fell, the leading killer immediately began to command several killers to attack Shen Peiqing.
Shen Peiqing's eyes were as cold as ice. He confronted the approaching killers with his bare hands. After a while, he had wounds on his arms and cheeks.
"Your meridians are damaged, Shen Peiqing. You have no martial arts skills anymore. Even an ordinary person who knows martial arts can kill you easily. I really don't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists that I take action." The leading killer mocked Shen Peiqing, looking at him as if he were looking at a dying ant.
Seeing that Shen Peiqing was stabbed again, he still had no intention of asking for mercy. He even pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered at the leading killer.
"Because Shen Fengyu is a coward. He's afraid of my abilities. Just like you, the so-called martial arts killers, didn't you also come with a group? If you really look down on me, why don't you dare to kill me alone?"
These words were obviously a provocation to the leading killer, and this indeed stimulated the leading killer.
"I think you're just tired of living. I originally wanted to let you die quickly, but now I want you to pay for what you said!"
The leading killer waved his hand, and the killers surrounding Shen Peiqing made way.
Then, the killer rushed towards Shen Peiqing with a sword in hand, seemingly performing some incomprehensible moves.
Shen Peiqing couldn't use weapons, but that didn't mean he couldn't use other things instead. He didn't know when a dry branch appeared in his hand. He used the dry branch to block the killer's moves. It looked very difficult, but at least he wouldn't be stabbed by the killer.
The killer saw him holding a branch and taunted him, "You think you can fight me with just a branch? Shen Peiqing. Go to hell!"
Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce Shen Peiqing's neck, Rong Su felt that she could no longer watch the fight, otherwise if Shen Peiqing really died, she would lose a very important tool for revenge.
She was just about to take out poison to help others, but she didn't expect the battle situation over there to take a big turn in an instant.
She had no idea how Shen Peiqing had managed to insert the branch into the killer's chest, and she was a little shocked.
This scene not only shocked her, but also the other killers. Even the leading killer himself looked in disbelief as a branch was inserted into his chest.
It was obvious that Shen Peiqing's martial arts had been crippled and even his meridians were damaged, so why could he still use a tree branch to kill himself?
Until he lost his breath, he still didn't understand what had just happened.
When the killers saw that their boss was dead, they all became ferocious. They picked up their swords and rushed towards Shen Peiqing, intending to kill him to avenge their boss.
Rong Su saw that Shen Peiqing was obviously unable to do it, and his arms seemed to be shaking violently.
Seeing this, she took out the poison and shouted at him, "Murder!"
This alarmed the killers, and they all looked at Rong Su. Rong Su rushed over quickly. They were shocked that someone would rush towards them without fear of death.
They all raised their swords, ready to deal with Rong Su, the nosy man, but before they got close, they smelled a strange odor. Soon they felt pain all over their bodies, and soon they fell to the ground and were unable to get up.
Rong Su watched as the killers fell to the ground after being poisoned by her poison, and some of them even died.
After watching him coldly for a while, she walked up to the seriously injured Shen Peiqing and looked down at him condescendingly.
Seeing that it was Rong Su, his face was full of fatigue. He slowly raised his head to look at her and said self-deprecatingly, "Very embarrassing, right?"
This was the first time Rong Su saw an expression other than arrogance and indifference on Shen Peiqing's face. He didn't seem to show an expression of mockery towards her, but now he actually showed it in front of her.
Rong Su was silent for a while, bent down, and stretched out her hand to help him up. His body was very heavy, and she gritted her teeth to help him up, not forgetting to complain a few words.
"Can you eat less? It's too heavy."
With his hand on her delicate shoulder, Shen Peiqing listened to her complaints. Instead of feeling angry, he felt a strange sense of security.
It seemed as if the danger just now had not affected him at all, because he found a sense of support in Rong Su.
"I'm a patient. How can I eat less? As a doctor, don't you understand that patients need to eat more?"
Hearing that Shen Peiqing still had the energy to argue with her, Rong Su's mouth twitched slightly, and she sneered at him unhappily: "Next time I won't help you. If you get hurt again, just crawl back by yourself."
After hearing this, Shen Peiqing seemed to be in a better mood. He chuckled softly and did not respond to Rong Su. He just enjoyed the feeling of finding comfort from others at this moment.
At least he is not alone, at least he still has her.
As the two were walking out of the woods, they ran into Gu Yuer who was squatting on the side.
Gu Yuer was feeling distressed. She had just been following someone, but she lost her focus and lost track of them. She was still wondering how to find them.
She didn't expect to see Rong Su and Shen Peiqing again. However, when she saw that Shen Peiqing's body was covered with bloody scars, she immediately became nervous.
"Brother Shen, Sister Rong, what happened? How did Brother Shen get hurt?"
Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing, and Shen Peiqing explained calmly: "I accidentally rolled down the hillside."
Seeing that Shen Peiqing didn't seem to want to tell Gu Yuer, Rong Su didn't expose him.
Gu Yuer was puzzled when she heard this: "How could you be so careless and roll down the hillside? Go back and treat your injuries quickly."
Rong Su thought for a moment and decided to hand Shen Peiqing over to Gu Yuer. She said calmly, "There's still one herb we need to find. Yuer, take Shen Peiqing back and let Gu Yun treat his wound."
"Ah. Okay." Gu Yuer was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement.
When Shen Peiqing saw Rong Su was about to hand him over to someone else, he immediately reached out and held her. Rong Su was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"Are these the herbs you want?" Shen Peiqing took out some herbs from his arms with trembling hands, and then stared at her with deep eyes.
She saw that his hands were still shaking, but the herbs in his hand were indeed the ones she was looking for.
She looked into his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in them. She didn't understand why, but since the herbs had been found, there was no need for her to go back and look for them.
"Yeah. I thought you didn't find it."
Shen Peiqing stuffed the herbs into Rong Su's hand, then lowered his eyes and said softly, "Yu'er is so weak that she can't support me at all. You should do it."
Rong Su curled the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he was just afraid that Gu Yuer would fall if she helped him.
I didn't refute him much. The most important thing now was to leave this place first. It would be bad if I met the killer again.
Soon, they returned to the inn.
As soon as she returned to the inn, Rong Su asked the waiter to prepare hot water.
Gu Yun also knew that Shen Peiqing was injured and hurried over to see him.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"
Gu Yuer immediately interrupted: "Brother Shen is a reckless person. He accidentally fell down the hillside. Brother, you have to take a good look at Brother Shen's wound."
Gu Yun looked at Shen Peiqing and found that the injuries on Shen Peiqing's body did not look like those caused by falling down the hillside. Instead, they looked like those caused by weapons.
Shen Peiqing saw that Gu Yun seemed to have realized something, but he did not intend to explain anything.
Gu Yun saw Rong Su seemed to be planning to check Shen Peiqing's wound. He said quickly, "Miss Rong, let me do it. It's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other."
Hearing this, Rong Su was about to say something when Gu Yu'er chimed in, "Yes, yes, Sister Rong, Brother Shen is a man and you are a woman. It's not an emergency, so you can actually let your brother come."
As she spoke, Gu Yuer pushed her out.
Seeing this, Rong Su didn't know what to say and let Gu Yuer take her out. After all, Gu Yun's medical skills were also very good.
When Shen Peiqing saw Rong Su being taken out by Gu Yuer, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
Since he was kicked out, Rong Su couldn't just stand there. He planned to take the collected herbs to the kitchen of the inn and sort them out. After a few days, when Shen Peiqing's injuries improved, he would start to remove the poison from him.
Arriving at the kitchen, Rong Su began to sort the herbs, categorize them, and then process them one by one.
After a while, she saw Gu Yun walk in.
She had probably already treated Shen Peiqing's wound. After seeing this, she asked calmly, "Are you going to make medicine for Shen Peiqing?"
When Gu Yun heard Rong Su ask this, he smiled and said, "Yeah."
He saw Rong Su processing the picked herbs and asked more questions.
"Miss Rong, are you preparing herbs for Brother Shen to heal his meridians?"
"Yes. I really put a lot of effort into curing him." Rong Su rarely joked.
Gu Yun was silent for a moment, stuffing the herbs in his hand into the medicine jar, but he kept glancing at Rong Su from time to time. He hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to ask, "Why is Miss Rong so dedicated to saving Brother Shen's meridians?"
But as soon as he asked the question, Gu Yun regretted it. He shouldn't have asked like that. A doctor is like a parent to his patients. It is natural for a doctor to do his best to treat his patients. What on earth was he thinking?
Just as he was thinking about making up for his slip of the tongue, he heard Rong Suqian's soft reply, as if she didn't care about the question he asked.
"He was useful to me. That's why I saved him."
Gu Yun had never expected Rong Su to be so straightforward. He didn't know how to speak and could only smile and say, "Is that so?"
Shen Peiqing, who originally thought that he still had some herbs on him and wanted to send them over, stood silently behind the door after hearing Rong Su's words, lowered his eyes, smiled bitterly to himself for a while, and then left quietly.
