Chapter 247 Jade Abacus
Lin Zhiqing's gaze slowly focused on Lu Huai's face. She saw that Lu Huai was carrying a bow and arrow on his back.
The arrow just now was shot by Lu Huai!
She didn't have time to express surprise or astonishment at Lu Huai's arrival. She shook her head vigorously, enduring the burning pain in her throat, and signaled that she was fine.
"Flute, amulet of peace."
Her voice was a little hoarse as she recited these two important things.
A hint of solemnity appeared on Lu Huai's usually gentle face. He untied his cloak and carefully wrapped Lin Zhiqing in it, but his steps did not stop at all:
"Don't worry, I will get the things back."
"Although Yun Feng is no match for that man, he can still hold off for a while."
"There are people everywhere around here. The most urgent thing is to get you out of here first."
But Lin Zhiqing reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Can you handle it?"
Lu Huai patted Lin Zhiqing's hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Aqing, nothing happened."
Lin Zhiqing knew that Lu Huai had hidden his strength, so she slowly let go of her hand.
Lu Huai's expression instantly became serious, but before he took a few steps, a strange noise came from in front of him.
He frowned, held Lin Zhiqing with one hand, and drew the long sword from his waist.
Just as he was ready for battle, the noise gradually grew louder.
"Sister Qing, where are you? I'm coming!" Lin Yangyang's voice arrived before she even showed up.
Lu Huai glanced at Lin Zhiqing, and when he saw Lin Zhiqing nod, he put away his guard.
The next moment, Lin Yangyang appeared in Lu Huai's sight.
She was holding a big knife and her whole body was wet. Strong winds blew wherever she passed, and her face was full of anxiety.
When she saw Lu Huai, her eyes lit up, but when her gaze met the embarrassed Lin Zhiqing, it was as if she was ignited by anger:
"Sister Qing, are you okay?"
She came to Lin Zhiqing in an instant and held Lin Zhiqing's hand tightly: "I'm late!"
Lu Huai was slightly puzzled: "You set up the game in advance? If it's so dangerous, why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Yangyang gritted her teeth: "Is this the time to talk about this? Get out of the way!"
"You dare to hurt my sister Qing? You're seeking death!" She picked up the big knife and was about to go to the back to settle the score.
Lu Huai was quick-witted and pulled the man back: "There are probably 20 to 30 people around here. You take Ah Qing away, and I'll hold them back!"
"But..." Lin Yangyang looked at the man in black, then at Lin Zhiqing, gritted her teeth, and finally did not act impulsively.
Lu Huai snapped his fingers.
A sound of horse hooves rang out, and soon a horse stopped in front of Lu Huai.
Lin Yangyang put the big knife on his back, mounted his horse without any delay, and took Lin Zhiqing from Lu Huai's arms.
"Keep going north and out of Handan. Take the abacus to the Hengzhang prefect's residence and he will help you." As he said that, Lu Huai handed the jade abacus he carried on his waist to Lin Zhiqing who was sitting in front of him.
Lin Zhiqing took it and held it tightly in his hand.
Lin Yangyang nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."
Lu Huai looked at Lin Zhiqing again, and his voice softened:
"If you walk slowly, I will go to Hengzhang to find you. If you walk quickly, we will see you in Shengjing."
"Aqing, I will bring your things back, please take good care of them!"
"I will also take the flute player to Hengzhang, so you don't have to worry."
Lin Zhiqing's eyes were filled with unprecedented worry: "Lu Huai, take care."
"Yeah." Lu Huai nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Yangyang tightened the reins and turned around quickly.
The sound of horse hooves soon began to sound.
When Lu Huai turned around, the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
He raised his sword and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
The last image left in Lin Zhiqing's mind was Lu Huai's back as he left with a sword in hand.
As the sound of horse hooves became faster and faster, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes.
…
"Didn't they say she would wake up in one day? Why is my sister still showing no signs of waking up?"
"Doctor, please take a closer look. Money is not a problem."
"A common cold? Impossible. She hasn't woken up in such a long time. It doesn't look like she has a cold at all."
"Doctor, are you seeing things?"
My cousin's voice?
Lin Zhiqing's mind was dizzy and she kept having the dream of that rainy day over and over again.
Her cousin's voice was like a pair of big hands, pulling her back from the nightmare.
Lin Zhiqing tried his best to open his eyes. His throat felt like a blade was scratching it, and it hurt so much.
"Eh? She's awake, she's awake!" A strange man's voice sounded.
"Awake?" Lin Yangyang quickly sat down at the head of the bed. Seeing Lin Zhiqing open his eyes, she was about to cry:
"Sister Qing, you finally woke up. I thought you would never wake up. God bless you, God bless you!"
Lin Zhiqing struggled to sit up, but because of the pain in her throat, she couldn't speak for a while.
Lin Yangyang was crying and laughing, not noticing at all that she couldn't speak.
It was the doctor next to him who reacted first and poured a glass of water.
Lin Zhiqing took the glass of water and drank it all in one breath, only then did he feel the pain in his throat ease a little.
"Sister Qing, how are you?" Lin Yangyang stared at her with hope.
"I'm fine." As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Zhiqing was startled by his own hoarse voice.
She looked around and found that the place she was in was quite unfamiliar, so she looked at Lin Yangyang and asked.
Lin Yangyang understood what she meant: "This is the residence of the Hengzhang prefect. You have a high fever and you are unconscious. I had no choice but to come to Hengzhang with the token Lu Huai gave me for help."
"The jade abacus that Lu Huai gave you has been in your hand all this time, and none of us can get it out."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing subconsciously looked at his hands.
In the palm of his hand, Lu Huai's jade abacus lay quietly on it.
She clenched her palms again.
Lu Huai carries this thing with him at all times, and he can also use it to contact the prefect of Hengzhang. It is obviously not an ordinary thing, so she has to keep it well for Lu Huai.
Lin Yangyang's few words reminded her of the thrill of that day.
Yes, when she was about to be controlled or even killed by Jiang Liuyun, Lu Huai arrived.
Her gaze passed Lin Yangyang and fell on the doctor and the middle-aged man and woman behind Lin Yangyang.
The middle-aged men and women had extraordinary demeanor, and their clothes and jewelry were very expensive. They were obviously not ordinary people.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the prefect and his wife for saving my life. When I return to Shengjing, I will definitely repay you two." Lin Zhiqing bowed.
Lin Yangyang also wiped the tears from her face: "That's right, Mr. Prefect, we will repay you."
"Don't worry, don't worry, good children, since you are Lu Huai's friends, you are my friends." The prefect of Hengzhang did not put on airs:
"Lu Huai's father is my mentor. Seeing that Miss Zhiqing is safe and sound, I feel relieved."
It turns out there is such a connection between them. Lin Zhiqing thanked him again.
The person woke up, and the prefect and others did not stay long. Only Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang were left in the room.
"Cousin, how long have I slept?" Lin Zhiqing touched his neck and, as expected, felt a red mark.
"Yiyi, we arrived in Hengzhang last night." Lin Yangyang poured another glass of water and brought it over.
Lin Zhiqing took the teacup and felt his physical condition. After feeling that he was fine, his eyes became sharp:
"Tonight, we will hurry from Hengzhang and return to Shengjing as soon as possible."
