Chapter 43 Can't you feel it? It's bleeding

Xie Chengjin suddenly had something to deal with,

He was originally planning to go out, but just as he reached the door, he felt a sharp pain in his calf.

It felt like it had hit the corner of the table hard, and it was quite sharp.

He paused slightly.

Then he lowered his eyes expressionlessly and looked at his legs.

He didn't hit anything, but the pain in his leg was still there, and it was not an illusion.

He paused, and suddenly thought of Xie Yanyu——

Did she hit her leg?

For Xie Chengjin,

Xie Yanyu has always been a very subtle yet special existence.

He didn't care about his stepsister. To him, she was no different from everyone else, like an insignificant speck of dust.

But perhaps because he was affected by her blood, although he didn't care about her, he always noticed her.

Over the years, he and her had not met often at home.

Every time he walked by, he was surrounded by servants.

She stood in the crowd nearby, saluted him, and looked at him secretly with dark and jealous eyes.

He swept his eyes across the crowd, always catching sight of her figure, and then looking away as if nothing had happened.

He and she are not related by blood, but in a sense, they are related by blood.

So it's not surprising that he always has some connection with her.

But this feeling seems to have suddenly become stronger recently.

I often dream of her but don't tell her.

Is there even empathy with the body?

Xie Chengjin had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

He thought quietly for a moment and was about to leave the inn, but when he reached the stairs, he turned back and knocked on the door of Xie Yanyu's room.

There was no response from the room for a long time.

He pushed the door open and went in, only to find Xie Yanyu was not there.

Then he stood in the empty room, thinking for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, he sat down at the table with an expressionless face, waiting for her to come back.

*

at the same time.

In Helan's dangerous house.

Xie Yanyu felt a little bewildered.

She thought that when she came to see Helan Wei, he would probably make trouble for her or at least find some fault with her, but he didn't.

This was understandable, but it was definitely beyond her expectations.

This is understandable because he is a person who is always elegant and casual, rarely gets emotional about anything, and can handle everything with ease, no matter how big or small;

The reason why it was unexpected was that he had gone crazy too many times recently, which made her see the volatility and danger in his bones, so that when he became normal now, she felt it was abnormal.

Xie Yanyu didn't know what happened to him today.

But she didn't like to guess about him.

She found that he was normal, and after thinking for a moment,

In addition to wanting to ask him for the Mingxin Talisman, she also wanted to try to follow the plot.

So she said gently, "I want to come and accompany you, sir."

Helan Wei's face darkened slightly after hearing this.

He glared at her for a long while before he slowly asked, "If you wanted to accompany me, why did you stand outside and not come in?"

Xie Yanyu: "..."

Xie Yanyu just thought he was normal,

But after just a few words, he started finding fault again.

She didn't really want to answer this question.

But generally speaking,

At this moment, if she didn't answer him, he would probably go crazy in the next second, looking at her with sinister eyes, questioning her with a gentle tone that was laced with danger, forcing her to give an answer in person that he could not find any mistakes in.

Xie Yanyu was a little annoyed, but it was better to have less trouble than more.

She was still prepared to make up a better reason.

However, while thinking,

Not long after,

Suddenly I heard him speak again.

Although the tone is gloomy,

But this time, he didn't ask any questions. He said, "Forget it."

His teeth ached, and he really wanted to bite Xie Yanyu's throat off. He stared at the white silk covering her eyes for a while and asked her, "Are you standing outside and not coming in because you can't see and are not sure if this is my room. Are you afraid you've walked into the wrong room?"

incredible,

Helan Wei actually found all the excuses for her before she even opened her mouth.

Xie Yanyu was really horrified this time.

But at this time, she would be stupid to deny it, so she lowered her eyebrows and said: "Yes."

Helan Wei heard this and turned his eyes away lazily, not looking at her or speaking.

Xie Yanyu is blind.

But at this moment she really wanted to see what condition Helan Wei was in now.

Because he gave her a very strange feeling, like a person who had always been high and mighty and never bowed his head, suddenly took a step back when he was being aggressive.

She didn't think someone like him would give in.

She thought about it for a long time, but she was not sure whether he was on the verge of going crazy again.

But the air was quiet.

She waited for a long time but he didn't go crazy, so she didn't want to care about it anymore.

She groped her way and sat down next to him, ready to push the plot forward. Then she asked him, "Is your injury better?"

"What's the injury?"

"The injuries he suffered while catching the vengeful ghost, wasn't he recuperating in the house just now?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yanyu reached into his sleeve and his fingertips touched the sachet in his sleeve pocket.

In the original plot,

She had done some things to show her courtesy, such as giving him food and sachets, but these were insignificant little items. The food and things that the noble young man ate and used were thousands of times better than these. He would touch his lips with the food politely and would throw the sachet away without knowing where it was.

Xie Yanyu didn't care much about these things.

He looked down on these things, but she herself had not prepared carefully.

She just thought that there was a sachet in her sleeve pocket that she could give to him.

So she took out the sachet and said to him, "I just made a sachet for you, but I can't see, so I didn't embroider it. The spices inside are useful for repairing your spiritual veins. You can keep it by your side while you heal your wounds, and you will recover faster."

The scent sachet actually contained ordinary calming incense. She was usually in a restless mood, so she wore this sachet. Because it was for her own use, she used the cheapest fabric and had no embroidery.

But this is a very beautiful thing to say,

It seemed as if the sachet was really prepared for Helan Wei.

Helan Wei turned his gaze at this time.

He suddenly remembered that she had given him a sachet in his previous life, but he threw it away. After she died, he inexplicably found it and put it on, and later he got used to wearing it.

He took the sachet in his hand,

He should think it is normal for her to send him gifts.

But at this moment, he felt that this shouldn't be the case. He didn't know when it started, but his first reaction was that she was being attentive to him for some other purpose. So he looked at her inquiringly and asked, "Why did you suddenly give me this?"

Xie Yanyu said, "I'm just very worried about you, sir."

She explained in a gentle voice: "Besides, I like you, and I want to do something for you. Isn't that normal?"

As soon as these words fell,

Helan Wei suddenly felt a sense of resentment.

He sneered in his heart and said in a contemptuous voice: "Stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want."

Xie Yanyu tilted his head and said, "Bright Heart Talisman."

She doesn't even pretend,

He asked her to speak, and she really told him her purpose.

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Helan Wei suddenly said, "You're exchanging a broken sachet for the Enlightenment Talisman? You don't have much sincerity."

He said calmly, "Why don't you go back and think carefully about what to exchange for it."

Xie Yanyu's expression was indifferent when he heard this.

She mentioned the Mingxin Talisman to him just now because he had already said that. She was too lazy to argue with him, so she just told him her purpose directly.

But even though she mentioned it, she was not too determined to win.

Anyway, the sachet has been given away, so this trip is not in vain.

So she said gently: "Then I will go back first."

She got up and left.

It's just that because she can't see, her sense of direction is not that good.

She was thinking of walking out the door, but in reality, she walked in the other direction.

Helan Wei leaned on the beauty's couch,

Seeing her like this, her face looked extremely ugly and gloomy as if water was about to drip out of it.

After a while, he finally couldn't help but said, "Come back."

Xie Yanyu stopped again after hearing this.

She was impatient and was a little impatient at this time. She was not ready to turn around and face him.

However, at this time,

She heard something fall at her feet.

It seems like a book.

It should be Helan Wei who threw a book over.

She paused, then bent down to pick up the book.

at the same time,

She heard Helan Wei say lightly, "Learn how to draw the Mingxin Talisman yourself."

Xie Yanyu is blind.

But most books on talismans do not require the use of the eyes to read.

You just need to put your hand on the book and feel it with your heart, and even with your eyes closed, the knowledge will enter your brain directly.

It's just that the Mingxin Fu is a magic trick of the Helan family.

Even if I give her the book,

It would take her at least half a month to learn how to draw this talisman.

But it's better than nothing.

Xie Yanyu picked up the book and after a while, turned back.

She couldn't see Helan Wei, so she didn't know what his expression was. She could feel that he was not very happy, but she had a storyline to follow with him, and it would not be good for her if their relationship became too strained.

As long as she is not pushed too far, she can endure it.

So at this moment, she smiled directly at Helan Wei: "Thank you, sir."

She was sincere yet sarcastic. "But you're being a little overthinking, sir. I really want to give you the sachet, not that I want to exchange it for anything. Even if I didn't need the Enlightenment Talisman, I would still give you the sachet today."

She can't see.

So I didn’t see the end of it.

Helan Wei threw the sachet in his hand away and stared at her back with almost resentment.

After a while,

He picked up the sachet again.

As if she was used to it, she wore it around her waist, placing it together with the expensive jade pendants.

*

Gave the sachet to Queen Helan Wei,

His plot line advanced by 3% at once, rising to 18%.

Xie Yanyu got what he wanted on this trip, which was quite fruitful.

She put the book of Mingxin Talisman into her sleeve pocket and prepared to go outside to buy some materials for drawing talismans. However, when she was groping to go downstairs, she didn't know how many steps there were, and she took a wrong step and sprained her ankle again.

My calf hurts where it was bumped, and my ankle hurts where it was sprained.

Although she could endure the pain, she still squatted there for a long time.

Finally, she decided to go back to her room and treat her injuries.

After returning to the room,

She always felt that there was something strange in the room, as if the air pressure was a little low.

But apart from that, there was nothing else strange. She was blind and could only rely on her other senses to perceive the surrounding environment. She stood cautiously at the door and sensed for a while, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

final,

She hesitated for a moment, then went into the house and sat on the couch.

Then she gently took off her shoes and socks, lifted the hem of her skirt a little, revealing her ankles and part of her calves.

She didn’t know—

At this time, there was another person in the room.

Her indifferent and taciturn stepbrother was sitting at the table, looking at her quietly.

*

Is he spying on her?

Xie Chengjin sat at the table, looking at Xie Yanyu quietly, and this thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

It is very rude to spy on others.

Xie Chengjin strictly abides by etiquette and would never do such a thing on normal days. He came here just to confirm whether he could empathize with her. However, when he saw her walk in, he did not ask her out loud. Instead, for some reason, he sat here silently and looked at her.

She showed her ankles and calves,

Because I sprained my ankle, there was a bruise on my ankle.

The calf had well-proportioned bones and flesh, but there was an unsightly bruise on it, which was blue and purple, with the skin broken and slightly bleeding.

Her skin was pale.

Such scars spread on the pale skin look a bit shocking, pitiful and eye-catching.

Once you look at it, it's hard not to notice it.

Xie Chengjin looked at her scars.

The idea has been verified, he should leave quietly,

However, his gaze only lingered on her for a moment, and he discovered that she had taken out the medicated oil, poured it on her hands, and was about to apply it to the wound on her calf.

Medicinal oil can activate blood circulation and disperse blood stasis.

It is suitable for applying to bruised and swollen areas, but if applied to broken skin and bleeding, it will make the injury worse.

Xie Chengjin was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Can't you feel it? It's bleeding."
