Chapter 18 018 Protecting Him

Yin Chu Jiu was pretending to faint. He only wanted to interrupt the confrontation between Yue Ling and Yin Chu San. However, he did not expect that his chest would really hurt more and more and feel a little stuffy. Then his throat felt hot and he tasted a fishy sweet taste on his tongue. He really fainted in the bumpy ride as Yue Ling carried him.

What he didn't expect was that after he actually fainted, the boy carrying him paused for a moment, and then, as if he had gone mad, he ran wildly down the road carrying someone who weighed the same as him.

The blazing sun hangs high in the sky.

The streets were deserted, and the street vendors, hawking their wares listlessly, found no buyers for their carefully prepared goods. In the sweltering heat, most people stayed indoors to cool off, and the vendors, remembering the cool comfort of lying on the ground the night before, also felt a pang of longing to go home.

"Maybe we should go back," he thought. "There's practically no one outside at this time. Look at those few people; they're all sullen from the sun."

While the vendor was lost in thought, a figure suddenly came running from a distance—no, it shouldn't be one, but two; one of them was carrying the other on his back.

Who was that person? At this moment, he still had the strength to carry someone and run. The vendor was very impressed. He had never run that fast even when carrying his own wife.

He wanted to wait until the figure got closer before seeing who it was, but the person carrying someone was running so fast, almost like a gust of wind, that he couldn't see what they looked like at all. The vendor was disappointed. Just then, another person suddenly came running up, chasing after the person in front, shouting something as they ran.

So incredibly energetic!

Forget it, I'm not going back.

The vendor drank a bowl of chicken soup on the spot. Look at him, he can run around in such a scorching sun. Why can't he just stand here and sell his things honestly?

At least, he doesn't have to move.

Yue Ling carried Yin Chu Jiu and ran very fast. He had never run so fast before. His breath hurt his throat, and his lungs were panting like an old bellows. The person on his back remained motionless. He didn't stop, his eyes fixed on the roof of a certain building.

The rooftop the boy was looking at belonged to a medical clinic. The doctor there was exceptionally skilled, the best doctor in Yundu City, and was said to be able to revive the dead and heal the wounded, making him sought after by all the powerful and wealthy in Yundu City.

But because the doctor's medical skills were so good, it was not easy to get him to come out for a consultation.

However, the boy did not stop there. Instead, he carried the unconscious Yin Chu Jiu to the vermilion gate of the clinic.

"I won't look." The gatekeeper yawned and waved him away.

Yue Ling was panting heavily, large beads of sweat soaking the black hair on his face, making him look even dirtier and more like a monster. He gritted his teeth and tried to say, in broken sentences, "Save him."

The servant lifted his eyelids to glance at Yin Chu Jiu on his back, then at the boy standing below, and said lightly, "We won't save him. Besides, even if we did, you wouldn't be able to afford it. Can you afford my master's medical fees?"

"Save him!" Yue Ling emphasized, enunciating each word clearly, "I know how to make money!"

"Making money? Our clinic isn't a charity, we..."

"I can make money, I can catch magical beasts, get magical orbs, and make lots of money. Save him!"

"Little beggar, can't you understand human language? I know you, you're a monster. How can a monster make money? Who would buy your things? Get out, get out, don't be so ungrateful here!"

The young man refused to leave. He stood in front of the clinic under the scorching sun, repeating his words about saving Yin Chu Jiu, which attracted the attention of the onlookers.

The servant, seeing this, laughed in anger and grabbed a broom to hit the boy.

The boy remained, and the servant's whipping was haphazard, sometimes hitting his back, sometimes his chest, and sometimes his arm. The servant's whipping was painful, but the boy seemed oblivious, his expression unchanged.

Only after the servant struck his back did he seem to remember something and avoid the blows. He turned the boy on his back and held him in his arms, using his back to receive the servant's blows.

Arriving a step too late, Yin Chusan stood in the crowd of onlookers, completely stunned by what he saw. That kid being beaten was Yue Ling, wasn't he? And the girl he was holding in his arms was Chu Jiu, wasn't she? The person was right, but why couldn't he understand what was happening?

Doesn't he hate the ninth day of the lunar month?

Doesn't he hate the ninth day of the lunar month?

Seven years have passed, a full seven years. Chu Jiu couldn't soften Yue Ling's heart, so why is he protecting him now?

He couldn't understand it, but Yin Chusan realized he had to do something. The servant's refusal was one thing, but why did he have to hit him?

Pushing through the crowd, Yin Chusan squeezed towards Yue Ling's side. However, there were too many onlookers, and she couldn't get in for a while.

"Stop." Just as Yin Chusan was about to die of anxiety, a pleasant voice suddenly rang out. The voice was eerie and alluring, carrying an endless allure, as if one were bewitched by the most exquisite bewitching beast. Yin Chusan looked up in a daze and saw a handsome man wearing a black and purple brocade robe and holding a matching paper fan leaning against the door, tilting his head and lazily asking Yue Ling below the steps, "Do you want me to save him?"

Yue Ling licked the corner of his mouth, where there was blood from the servant's whipping. He showed Yin Chu Jiu, whom he was protecting in his arms, and said, "Yes."

The man raised an eyebrow, his purplish-black eyes sweeping over Yue Ling's hairy body. Concealing his astonishment, he closed his folding fan and said, "No matter the cost, you must save him?"

"No matter the cost." Yue Ling held the boy tightly in her arms, as if he were her only treasure, her tone firm and unwavering, "Just save him!"

He only has him.

He can't lose him.

He was willing to pay any price.

The man nodded, turned around, and before leaving, gestured to Yue Ling with his chin, indicating that he should follow him in. Yue Ling lowered his eyes, gently brushed Yin Chu Jiu's lips, wiped away the traces of blood he had vomited, and then picked him up tightly. Under the stunned gazes of everyone, he walked step by step into the clinic.

...

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a low-key yet luxurious room. Faced with this scene, Yin Chu Jiu felt a little lost. The last time he had felt this way was when he had just transmigrated into the novel.

Could it be that he time-traveled again? What about Yue Ling?!

Yin Chu Jiu immediately rolled off the bed. The noise he made alerted Yin Chu San, who was guarding outside the door. The boy, who had been waiting outside all afternoon, rushed in, his expression breaking down with excitement.

"Chu Jiu, you're finally awake!"

Yin Chu Jiu paused, "The third day?"

Half an hour later, Yin Chusan learned the whole story from Yin Chujiu.

He fainted.

Yue Ling was beaten because of him.

He was saved because of Yue Ling.

The reason he fainted was because after he was hit, blood stasis accumulated in his chest and he couldn't vomit it out. If he wasn't treated quickly enough, it could have been life-threatening.

In summary, young Yue Ling saved his life.

Yin Chu Jiu... Yin Chu Jiu almost shed tears of emotion. Has the long march finally come to an end? As an author who is atone for his sins, he thought he might never see the protagonist soften in his lifetime.

He knew that although Yue Ling had said he could leave and that she had forgiven him, based on his understanding of Yue Ling, she could never truly forgive him.

Yue Ling's vengeful, suspicious, petty, and insecure nature makes it impossible for him to easily forgive someone, especially if that person explicitly tells him, "I'm good to you because I feel I did something wrong and I'm making amends."

Therefore, Yin Chu Jiu didn't leave, nor did he want to leave.

However, to his surprise, Yue Ling actually forgave him and refused to leave even after being beaten up for him. He really accepted his apology, so did he start to treat him as a friend?

and.

evening.

group.

right.

"Where is Yue Ling?" Yin Chu Jiu thought of this possibility and hurriedly asked the only person in the room who knew the truth. Yin Chu San, who had just finished speaking and was sipping tea to moisten his throat, paused for a second and said with a slightly unnatural tone, "Yue Ling is helping the doctor with something, as payment for the doctor saving you."

Yin Chusan concealed the fact that Yue Ling was willing to pay any price, only saying that the doctor saved Yue Ling because he couldn't stand Yue Ling's persistence.

reward?

Yin Chu Jiu quickly stood up and asked anxiously, "What is Yue Ling doing for that doctor? How much money do I need for my illness? I've saved up a lot of money over the years, is it enough?"

As mentioned earlier, Yue Ling was beaten and driven away for trying to save him. Although the doctor eventually intervened and saved him, it also shows that this clinic does not serve poor people.

He was worried that the doctor might make Yue Ling do something very inappropriate.

Moreover… Yin Chu Jiu fell silent for a moment. What others might not know, he did know that in this world, the setting he gave to doctors was the same as in other novels: the more skilled a doctor was, the more eccentric their personality.

Take, for example, the protagonist's right hand, which is currently being developed—the Ghost Doctor Zi Zhuo.

Yin Chusan pressed down on Yin Chujiu, who was about to get up, and said, "Chujiu, don't worry, it's just a simple matter. Compared to this, I have something more important to discuss with you." He sat up straight, his face serious.

Yin Chusan had to suppress his anxiety and sit down again. "What is it?"

"Chu Jiu, you should leave Yue Ling," Yin Chu San said.

Yin Chu Jiu: ? ? ?

"I feel like Yue Ling has forgiven you. Your third uncle and aunt have missed you a lot these past few years. Come back." Damn it, the more he looked at Yue Ling, the more suspicious he seemed. His crazy behavior gave him the illusion that he would never let go of Yin Chu Jiu. If he didn't get Chu Jiu back while things were serious, he was worried that Chu Jiu might never come back. "Besides, you can't stay with Yue Ling forever, can you? He'll have his own family, his own partner, and his own children. Won't it be awkward for someone like you to be in his family then?"

Partner, family, children?

Yin Chu Jiu was slightly stunned. Yes, stunned, because he had indeed thought about what Yin Chu San said. In the past few years, when he was making amends to Yue Ling, besides not wanting Yue Ling to be bullied, he also didn't want Yue Ling to be so lonely.

I want him to have a normal life.

She has a lover, a family, children, and perhaps even grandchildren; in short, she will no longer be alone.

But... is this necessarily related to his leaving Yue Ling? According to normal transmigration novels, the transmigrated person always has to go back in the end.

At the same time, he is the author of this novel. Once an author has not finished writing a story, the world in that story is incomplete. Therefore, he will definitely go back.

Since he will go back, there is no question of him leaving Yue Ling now.

He might even personally help Yue Ling find a kind, understanding, and gentle girl.

Yin Chu Jiu was immersed in his own imagination, which, in Yin Chu San's view, was a serious consideration of the problem.

"So, Chu Jiu, did you agree?"

No, I didn't agree.

Just as Yin Chu Jiu was about to answer, he noticed that Yin Chu San seemed to be glancing towards the door. Realizing something, he turned his head sharply and saw Yue Ling, the young boy, standing in the doorway, holding medicine in his hand, staring at him expressionlessly, as if he were dead.

Yin Chu Jiu: ……

Was he outmaneuvered by Yin Chusan?

"Yue... Yue Ling." Yin Chu Jiu hurriedly stood up, explaining somewhat flusteredly, "Listen to me, I didn't mean to..."

"It's alright." Yue Ling interrupted him, carrying the medicine over. She put it down, then reached out and stroked his neck, her hairy hand caressing the skin behind his ear. She said in a low, husky voice, "You said you wouldn't leave."

It's really okay, he won't let him go anyway.

Yin Chu Jiu didn't grasp the deeper meaning and only breathed a cautious sigh of relief. After finishing the bowl of medicine that Yue Ling had brought, he asked Yue Ling what she was doing for the doctor, but Yue Ling brushed him off and he didn't get any answers.

In the middle of the night, Yue Ling appeared in the man's room.

Beside the man was a bathtub filled with medicinal herbs. He said to the boy who entered, "Take off your clothes and get in."

"Don't just stand there, let me see if I can remove the hair from your body."
