Chapter 64: Waiting for the Rabbit
He stepped closer to the barrel: Could he be hiding in here?
Tang Xiaoyun, who was hiding in the wooden barrel, covered his mouth and nose tightly because the smell of the barrel was too bad.
Hearing the footsteps of the person outside the barrel slowly approaching, his heart rose to his throat, as if it would jump out of his mouth in the next second.
After Lin Feng approached the wooden barrel, he slowly reached out for the lid. Tang Xiaoyun in the barrel also resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes, determined that if the other party opened the lid, he would hit the person and escape.
Lin Feng grasped the handle of the lid and suddenly opened it the next second. Before he could see clearly inside the barrel, a foul odor rushed straight to his head and forced him to take several steps back. With a clang, the lid fell to the ground.
"Oh my god, it stinks!"
Lin Feng waved his hand to fan his nose, his facial expression distorted, and it was obvious that he was severely smoked.
After a while, he stretched his neck to look into the barrel. The barrel was clean and empty except for the lingering stench.
"Forget it, it stinks so much, he wouldn't hide here." After saying that, Lin Feng turned around and walked out of the alley.
Hearing the footsteps fade away, Tang Xiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously took a breath. Suddenly, his eyes rolled back because of the stench and he quickly covered his mouth and nose again.
But he didn't go out easily, as there was no guarantee that the other party would not be waiting for him.
So he said to the system: [Go out and see if that person has left.]
System: [Okay.]
The system flew out of Tang Xiaoyun's body and flew to the entrance of the alley in a transparent state. As soon as it left the alley, it almost collided with Lin Feng's icy face.
[Oh my god! He didn't leave after all!]
Fortunately, he is transparent, and Lin Feng is a paper man, so he cannot see the system.
Hearing what the system said, Tang Xiaoyun's heart was beating like thunder. Fortunately, he did not go out immediately, otherwise he would have been fooled.
Lin Feng waited at the entrance of the alley for a long time but the man didn't come out. He thought to himself: Is he really not here?
He stuck his head out to look into the alley again, frowned and clicked his tongue. If he was really hiding in the wooden barrel, he should have been unable to bear the stench long ago. There had been no movement for such a long time, it seemed that he was really not there.
Lin Feng cursed softly before turning and leaving.
After he walked away, the system flew back to Tang Xiaoyun and said, "Host, you can come out now. That person has left."
“Bang—!”
The lid was suddenly opened, Tang Xiaoyun leaned out half of his body and took a few deep breaths of air.
"Damn it, it's stinking to death."
He quickly climbed out, raised his sleeve and sniffed it, then said with a look of disgust: "Oh my god, it's almost pickled. I have to go back and take a shower."
As dusk fell, a red glow rose above the clouds. Yu Sheng stood at the door, looking forward to it.
"It's dark now, why haven't you come back yet?" Yu Sheng clenched his hands tightly, his palms were full of sweat.
"Could it be that he was caught?"
Hearing this, the old man walked out of the house, came to him and frowned, saying: "Don't worry, something must have delayed him."
As soon as the words fell, the two saw a black figure walking towards them quickly from afar.
As the sky gradually darkened, Yu Sheng could not see the face of the dark shadow clearly, and could only vaguely judge the figure.
He asked tentatively, "Is it you, young master?"
"It's me."
Hearing Tang Xiaoyun's voice, Yu Sheng hurried over and asked worriedly, "Why did you come back just now? I thought..."
He suddenly stopped, sniffed, and quickly raised his hand to cover his nose, frowning and saying, "Did you fall into a cesspool? It stinks so bad?"
Tang Xiaoyun smiled awkwardly: "...almost. This is a long story. Let me go take a shower and change clothes first."
He really couldn't stand the smell.
"Then I will prepare a bath for you."
After cleaning his entire body, inside and out, Tang Xiaoyun finally felt alive again.
After returning to the house, I checked on Tan Tai Lie. Although there was still no sign of waking up, his complexion looked much better than before.
"Knock knock, sir, it's time to eat." Yu Sheng came in with food, followed by an old man.
It's easy to understand. He was out all day and didn't come back until dark. Besides worrying about his safety, they were more worried that he would bring trouble home and implicate them.
He made up his mind to take Tan Tai Lie away as soon as he woke up.
Seeing the old man looking over, Tang Xiaoyun said, "Don't worry, I came back so late because I got rid of my tail. When my brother wakes up, we will leave. I will never implicate you."
The old man nodded after hearing this and said, "That's fine. We are just ordinary people. We can't compare with you people in the martial arts world."
Tang Xiaoyun was stunned when he heard this, but he did not explain and agreed with the old man's words.
They had lied that they were hunters in the mountains in order to escape from pursuers, but in the past few days, people were looking for them everywhere, and the old man obviously would not believe that excuse.
After dinner, Tang Xiaoyun fell asleep next to Tan Tai Lie. The next morning, he took the medicine he had bought yesterday and boiled it. However, this was only a temporary solution and he still needed to see a doctor.
That guy kept chasing me yesterday and I couldn't get a doctor back.
Now he is afraid that he can no longer show up in public, otherwise he will not have the same good luck as yesterday.
He found Yusheng, took out a few taels of silver and handed it to him, saying, "Yusheng, can you go to the town and get a doctor for me?"
"Okay, you wait." Yu Sheng took the silver and went out.
Yu Sheng was much more convenient to go out than him. The doctor arrived within half an hour.
"Where is the patient?" asked the doctor.
"This way, please."
Tang Xiaoyun led the doctor into the room and pointed at the mummy on the bed and said, "The patient is here."
The doctor was stunned and frowned, "How can I treat a patient if it's wrapped like this? Open it quickly."
Tang Xiaoyun blushed and quickly untied the strips of cloth on Tan Tai Lie's body one by one. Only then did the doctor come forward to treat him.
After treating Tan Tai Lie, he prescribed some medicine and then took out a bottle of black, sticky ointment and handed it to Tang Xiaoyun, saying, "Apply this ointment to the wounds on your body twice a day. You can also apply it to the wounds on your head. As for internal injuries, take the medicine I prescribed three times a day."
"Thank you very much."
The doctor nodded, took the money and was sent to the door by Yusheng.
"Sir, give me the medicine."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
With the doctor's medicine, Tan Tai Lie's injuries recovered quickly. Seeing his face getting rosier day by day, Tang Xiaoyun finally felt relieved.
A few days later, when Tang Xiaoyun went out to boil medicine, the person on the bed moved his fingers.
The next second, he slowly opened his eyes.
What caught his eye were blue bricks and tiles. Tan Tai Lie rolled his eyes and looked around. It was extremely unfamiliar.
He frowned, his head aching: Where is this? Why am I here?
"Sir, didn't you say you would boil the medicine after I came back?"
"It doesn't matter who fries it. I'll go in first."
"good."
Hearing the voices coming from outside the house, Tan Tai Lie quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
“Crack!”
The door opened and Tang Xiaoyun walked in.
She came to the edge of the bed with the medicine bowl and sat down. She raised her hand and gently stroked Tan Tai Lie's cheek, her tone full of worry: "Your complexion has obviously recovered, but you haven't woken up yet."
Tang Xiaoyun sighed, picked up the medicine and took a big sip, then lay down, pinched Tan Tai Lie's mouth, and poured the medicine into his mouth with his lips.
Tan Tai Lie was startled, his eyes suddenly opened, he turned over, grabbed Tang Xiaoyun's neck, gnashed his teeth in anger, and said, "You're looking for death!"
