Chapter 157 Extra 5: Lin Zhiheng

Nan Zhiyan looked in the direction where Lin Zhiheng pointed, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in her eyes.

"nice."

Nan Zhiyan was stunned for a long while before the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

This was the first smile Nan Zhiyan had shown in such a long time. Lin Zhiheng's eyes lit up and he also smiled.

He said that Nan Zhiyan must look very beautiful when she smiles.

The waves rolled over the insteps of the two people again, and it seemed that something touched Nan Zhiyan's feet.

She looked down and saw a spiral-shaped object, pure white and very beautiful.

There was a hint of confusion in Nan Zhiyan's eyes. She didn't know what it was, so she bent over and picked it up.

Lin Zhiheng kept paying attention to Nan Zhiyan's movements until the other party stood up, then he looked at Nan Zhiyan's hands.

"This is a conch, a peanut conch."

Lin Zhiheng's explanation came from the side. Nan Zhiyan held the conch and felt it had an uneven touch, but Nan Zhiyan unexpectedly liked it.

"Put it next to your ear and you can hear the sound of the waves. Try it."

It can be seen that Nan Zhiyan is very interested in conch, Lin Zhiheng continued.

Nan Zhiyan glanced at Lin Zhiheng and put the conch to his ear. Sure enough, he heard the sound of waves.

"Do you like it very much?"

"Um."

Nan Zhiyan nodded. She found it very novel.

"You don't remember your name. It's been so long, and I don't know what to call you. Otherwise, I should call you Little Conch?"

Lin Zhiheng looked back and forth between Nan Zhiyan's face and the conch in her hand before hesitantly asking.

name?

Nan Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and something flashed through her mind, but she didn't catch it.

"good."

He just looked at Lin Zhiheng and nodded slowly.

Nan Zhiyan did not take the conch away, even though Lin Zhiheng said that if she liked it, she could take it back.

It has been almost a month since she woke up, and her injuries are almost healed.

The old man and Lin Zhiheng took good care of her, and Nan Zhiyan's defensiveness and vigilance when she just woke up were gradually dissipating.

Lin Zhiheng went hunting in the mountains again, using a homemade bow and arrow. Nan Zhiyan admired Lin Zhiheng a little, as he seemed to know everything.

In the primeval forest that she thought was full of dangers, Lin Zhiheng felt like a fish in water.

Nan Zhiyan was very afraid of the forest. Even though she didn't remember what happened before she woke up, she was subconsciously afraid.

But another voice told her that she couldn't go on like this.

So when Lin Zhiheng started making the bow again, Nan Zhiyan walked over.

When Lin Zhiheng heard that Nan Zhiyan wanted to learn how to make bows and follow him into the mountains, he was a little surprised.

Unlike his rough and calloused hands, Nan Zhiyan's hands were delicate and fair, and it was obvious that she had been pampered at home.

How could he do these things? Moreover, privately, he also felt that Nan Zhiyan was not suitable for such a dangerous job.

He will protect Nan Zhiyan.

But when he met Nan Zhiyan's eyes, Lin Zhiheng found it difficult to refuse her.

Nan Zhiyan is so good-looking. In the past month since he came here, everyone in the village, whether adults or children, dislikes Nan Zhiyan.

Especially those annoying guys in the east of the village, who always find excuses to find Nan Zhiyan and even say bad things about him in front of Nan Zhiyan.

But Lin Zhiheng thought of another thing: other adults in the village said that Nan Zhiyan was his child bride.

His face instantly turned red, and Lin Zhiheng even didn't dare to look at Nan Zhiyan.

"I, I can promise you, but can you promise me not to hang out with those annoying people in the east of the village?"

Nan Zhiyan thought for a while before realizing that Lin Zhiheng was talking about those strange kids who often came to see her.

She wasn't good with overly enthusiastic people, so she rarely talked to them, let alone played with them.

"good."

So Nan Zhiyan agreed immediately.

Originally, Lin Zhiheng thought that Nan Zhiyan just wanted to learn from him out of curiosity, and he probably wouldn't be able to persist for long.

But to his surprise, Nan Zhiyan not only persisted, but also made rapid progress.

Lin Zhiheng was very surprised at Nan Zhiyan's learning speed. How could someone remember all the processes accurately after just reading them once?

The bow made by Nan Zhiyan was exactly the same as his, except that his palms were too tender and were scratched in several places.

Lin Zhiheng felt a little distressed when he saw this, but Nan Zhiyan said nothing.

He learned archery very quickly, but at the beginning, Nan Zhiyan was not very accurate in shooting his prey.

But this situation did not last long. From the first time Nan Zhiyan shot a rabbit, there was a second and third time.

Today is their fifth time to come to the mountain. With Nan Zhiyan's help, Lin Zhiheng felt much more relaxed.

He taught Nan Zhiyan how to survive in the forest, and the other party had almost learned it, so Lin Zhiheng felt a lot more relieved.

Looking at Nan Zhiyan's profile with concentration as he held the arrow, Lin Zhiheng planned to look to the other side, but as soon as he looked away, the next moment, Lin Zhiheng was met with a pair of fierce eyes.

"Boom!"

Lin Zhiheng's heart beat heavily for a moment. That was Xiong Long!

The other party huddled in the jungle, but his eyes were fixed on Nan Zhiyan. It was obvious that he regarded Nan Zhiyan as his prey.

Lin Zhiheng's heart instantly rose, but he didn't dare to speak out. Nan Zhiyan was concentrating on the wild boar not far away and did not notice anything unusual about Lin Zhiheng.

He could only approach Nan Zhiyan cautiously while paying attention to Xiong Long's movements.

But just as he was about to approach Nan Zhiyan, the bear dragon suddenly rushed out and pounced on Nan Zhiyan with lightning speed.

"Little conch!"

Lin Zhiheng was startled and screamed, then subconsciously pounced towards Nan Zhiyan. Just before Xiong Long's claws grabbed Nan Zhiyan, he rolled backwards with him.

But his shoulder was hit hard by the claw.

Before Nan Zhiyan could react, Lin Zhiheng held him and rolled down the steep slope behind the jungle.

"Bang!"

Until he hit a rock, Nan Zhiyan's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Under the severe pain, all the memories forgotten by Nan Zhiyan were recovered, including the Taran family, the Urlaf family, and traveling through the book.

And those three nights deep in the pit, which were filled with fear, terror, and despair, engraved deep in her heart.

The moment he opened his eyes again, Nan Zhiyan remembered everything.

It was pitch black all around, and in a daze, Nan Zhiyan realized that he was being carried on someone's back.

I could hear the young boy's heavy breathing and there was a strong smell of blood between his nostrils.

"Are you awake? Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Noticing Nan Zhiyan's movements, Lin Zhiheng endured the severe pain in his shoulder. Worried that Nan Zhiyan would be scared, he whispered something to comfort her, but his voice was a little weak.

Glancing at the scratches on Lin Zhiheng's shoulder, even though they had been treated, the fishy smell was still strong.

Nan Zhiyan had a complicated look in her eyes. She didn't expect that Lin Zhiheng would risk his life to save her. This was the second time.

"Put me down, I can walk."

Lin Zhiheng's body was trembling, and Nan Zhiyan could feel it.

It seemed that he had reached his limit. The moment he put Nan Zhiyan down, Lin Zhiheng's body tilted and he fainted.

Nan Zhiyan was shocked and quickly caught the person. Fortunately, they were not far from home now.

She helped the man up and walked towards the village step by step.

On the way, they met the old man who came to look for them.

Seeing Lin Zhiheng covered in blood, the old man's face changed drastically and he almost fainted.

They hurriedly took the two back and asked someone to see Lin Zhiheng, but the medical care in this village was too backward, and they heard that Lin Zhiheng might be in danger of his life.

The old man's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Nan Zhiyan knew that this was not a solution. Lin Zhiheng was injured for her, so she had to save him.

There was only one way. She followed the merchants in the village out of the village and took the initiative to contact the Taran family.

The Taran family came quickly, and when several aircraft landed in the village, people who had never seen such a scene ran out one after another.

When they learned that they were here to pick up Nan Zhiyan, they all opened their mouths wide. They guessed that Nan Zhiyan's identity must be no simple one.

After all, such a beautiful child cannot be raised by an ordinary family.

But they just thought he was an ordinary noble or a civilian living in the city. It was not until they saw the soldiers with guns that they realized that Nan Zhiyan's identity was more noble than they had imagined.

The leader walked up to Nan Zhiyan, bowed and saluted with a respectful look on his face. He did not show any disrespect to Nan Zhiyan just because he was a child.

"Miss."

Because they all knew that Nan Zhiyan would be the next Earl of Taran and the most capable assistant to Master Ulraf.

The old man didn't seem as shocked as the others. He just looked at the badge totem on the guard's chest and sighed.

They came with medical staff this time, and Nan Zhiyan did not leave immediately. Of course, the others did not dare to disobey Nan Zhiyan's orders.

Anyway, the Earl meant that as long as he knew that the person was fine, the rest should be left to the heir to deal with.

After waiting for Lin Zhiheng to wake up, Nan Zhiyan solemnly said goodbye to him.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he learned that Nan Zhiyan was leaving, and Lin Zhiheng, who was still on the hospital bed, was instantly panicked.

He wanted to beg Nan Zhiyan to stay and not leave, but soon realized that he was not qualified to do so.

Nan Zhiyan also has his own family.

He accepted the fact in silence, but just before Nan Zhiyan stepped onto the aircraft, Lin Zhiheng grabbed him.

He stuffed a conch into Nan Zhiyan's hand. It was the most beautiful conch he had picked after going to the beach countless times in private.

He felt that he liked to see Nan Zhiyan smile, and only the most beautiful one could be worthy of Nan Zhiyan. Lin Zhiheng tried hard not to cry out.

"Little Conch, can I come find you later?"

"good."

Nan Zhiyan looked at Lin Zhiheng for a long time, tightly holding the conch that Lin Zhiheng handed to her, as if holding the last bit of warmth, and nodded slowly.

This is indeed the last bit of warmth. The days here always make Nan Zhiyan think that he has returned to the real world.

But now, she had to go back, back to that cold cage of power.

Because she wanted to find her way home more.

Ulraf, watching the aircraft leave until it disappeared, Lin Zhiheng remembered this place.

The old man came over and patted the young boy on the shoulder.

"Have you really decided?"

"Yes, Grandpa."

Lin Zhiheng's eyes were firm. He had promised Nan Zhiyan that he would protect her forever and would never break his promise.

The friendship between young people is always pure and unyielding, but at this moment, Lin Zhiheng has no idea what he will face in the future.

The old man understood his grandson, so he didn't say anything else. He just looked at the endless horizon and sighed heavily.
