No more hesitation!
He suddenly gritted his teeth, carried Xiang Sheng on his back and rushed forward. At the same time, he withdrew his true energy shield.
The cold wind blew into my collar, biting my bones.
Wang Tuo shuddered violently. Is this the suffering Xiang Sheng has been enduring for the past three years?
"Xiang Sheng, this time I won't listen to you no matter what I say."
Wang Tuo's voice was trembling, but still loud. "Look at what you've done to yourself. Our village is far away from here. It would be much faster if I carried you on my back."
...Silent, with only the whistling of the wind in my ears.
Wang Tuo's eyes flickered, "Xiang Sheng?!"
He turned around and saw a peaceful sleeping face. He could hear a slight breathing sound beside his ears.
"Xiang Sheng! Wake up! Please don't die! Otherwise, all the hard work I've endured for the past four years will be in vain!"
While shouting, Wang Tuo ran wildly in the wind and snow, as fast as lightning, and crossed dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.
This speed could be maintained at first, but without the replenishment of true energy, Wang Tuo soon slowed down.
He stopped, put Xiang Sheng aside, then sat down cross-legged. He was about to use his true energy to recover, but he couldn't mobilize any true energy.
Wang Tuo was startled and looked inside himself quickly. He immediately saw golden lines as thin as hair floating in his meridians. His true energy was suppressed under them and could not move.
He clearly did not use his true energy, and simply turned his back to Xiang Sheng, yet he was also sealed by the Four Extremes Ban.
Wang Tuo's face darkened for a moment, he stood up, carried Xiang Sheng on his back, and continued to move forward with gritted teeth.
"Xiang Sheng!"
"Xiang Sheng, did you hear what I said?"
"Wake up!"
"Damn it, it's so cold."
"Hiss... I've never suffered so much since I was born! If you die, I'll be at a huge loss!"
"Xiang Sheng, since we can go back this time, you have to acknowledge me as your brother no matter what."
"Xiang...Ren..."
In a daze, the name in his ears seemed to be repeated thousands of times. Xiang Sheng tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't.
The darkness before my eyes grew heavier, and my body grew colder.
Really, is this the only way we can go?
In a trance, Xiang Sheng seemed to see a leaf, but he didn't know where the leaf was embedded.
Just as she was trying to see more clearly, the leaf suddenly lit up, Xiang Sheng's consciousness went dark, and she fainted.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Xiang Sheng could faintly hear the sounds of children playing outside.
She opened her eyes slightly dazedly and saw a fresh green bamboo roof.
Ding Ding Dong Dong——
The wind chimes by the window rang, bringing a warm spring breeze that felt extremely comfortable on my body.
This is... Wangjia Village?
As his memory went back, Xiang Sheng recalled the details before he fainted, and his eyes warmed slightly.
Did Wang Tuo really carry her back?
She struggled to sit up, but her limbs were wrapped in thick bandages and she couldn't move.
The girl holding the medicine plaque came in and saw this scene. She was immediately shocked. She rushed to the window in two steps and held Xiang Sheng down. "Your injuries are very serious. You are not allowed to get up!"
Xiang Sheng was pushed back and could only lie there obediently, staring at the girl, "Are you helping me heal my wounds?"
"I don't have that ability."
The girl curled her lips, her words revealing a hint of sourness. "I didn't expect you to wake up so soon. I'll go tell the village chief."
Having said that, she turned around and left without paying any attention to Xiang Sheng.
"Xiang Sheng is awake?!"
Wang Tuo, who was lying in bed and heard the news, sat up with a somersault, got out of bed and ran out immediately.
The girl's face fell, and she chased after him, yelling, "Brother Tuo, slow down!"
The news of Xiang Sheng's awakening quickly spread throughout the entire Wangjia Village. Before Wang Tuo arrived, a large group of people gathered in front of Xiang Sheng's door, and each of them couldn't help but look curious.
"The village chief is here!"
Someone shouted, and everyone dispersed.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Sheng saw Wang Tuo walking in with a short, fat old man with a kind face.
"senior……"
Just as Xiang Sheng was about to stand up and salute, the short and fat old man stopped him with a hand. He said with a smile, "You are the guest that Wang Tuo has worked so hard to bring back. The word 'senior' is too unfamiliar. Just call me 'village chief'."
Xiang Sheng readily followed suit and obediently called out, "Village Chief."
The short and fat old man responded with a smile. After pressing two fingers on Xiang Sheng's wrist pulse to sense it, the smile on his face suddenly faded.
Xiang Sheng's heart sank when he saw this. He said, "Village Chief, can I still be saved? Just tell me."
The short and fat old man pondered for a moment and said, "You just woke up, and I can't see everything. It's better for you to recuperate first. Wang Tuo, you stay here and talk to Miss Xiang."
Wang Tuo grinned and agreed happily.
