Chapter 128 The Origin
Nymph looked at the injured man, who fell to the ground in a mess, without any strength left to support himself.
Just like in his previous life, the man looked thin, his hands were chapped, and his clothes were torn. He had probably been hunted for a long time, so he often had to sleep in the open air.
She sat down and supported him. The blood that seeped out of his mask dripped onto the hem of her skirt and gradually spread.
"Girl." Dongzhu said uneasily. It would be unlucky to be contaminated by such filthy things.
Nymph was reluctant to take off his mask rashly, so she carefully wiped away the blood with a handkerchief and simply bandaged his wound to stop the bleeding, for fear of hurting him.
The man's hand suddenly raised up and rested on her slender wrist.
The touch is warm and delicate.
Although the pain in his chest made him unable to move, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured, and Emperor Jingwen's men would find him soon, he felt very at ease at the moment.
Afu.
He silently chanted her name in his mind.
But it also brings up a sharp and intense pain, whenever I think of her.
What if everyone abandoned him? As long as she was willing to save him, this world was not so bad.
"Sir, are you willing to believe me?" Nymph looked at him and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm." He managed to say it out from the corner of his mouth.
Nymph asked, "Sir, do you know me?"
Otherwise, when a person is about to die, he will not be able to trust an outsider, not to mention that his fate has changed a little, and it must be someone with whom he has had some interactions.
Zong Si didn't want to involve her in this matter, but he knew that she had such a guess and must have evidence, so he didn't deny it, but just said reluctantly: "Send me out of the city."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say a few more words, he just needs to save his energy.
Ning Fu pondered for a while in her heart. She couldn't take him back to Ning's house right now, but she couldn't implicate the Duke's Mansion if she tried to save him.
As for who he is, it is better not to know.
So even though she heard his deliberately changed voice, she did not ask him about his identity.
"Dongzhu, go back home first." Ning Fu said. She rented the carriage and horses from the horse farm in the identity of a young man who was playing. Even if they were discovered, the Ningguo Mansion would not be suspected.
Dongzhu naturally refused: "Miss, don't worry about him. He is just an outsider. He just pointed a sword at you. Who knows if he is a good person? At most, you can find a doctor for him."
"There are still people hiding in the county who are looking for him. If he is injured, the first place people who want to kill him will look is the clinic, so we must not go to the doctor." Ning Fu pondered for a moment, "Go back to the mansion and find some herbs for me. Remember not to go out to buy them. If the mansion doesn't have them, forget it."
Fortunately, she came here under the pretext of recuperating from illness, and the medicinal materials she prepared when she came from Beijing were sufficient.
Since his girl had explained the matter, Dongzhu did not delay any further no matter how reluctant she was.
Zong Si said: "Driver..."
"Don't worry, the driver is deaf-mute." Ordinary people would not want to find a deaf-mute driver. Nymph chose him out of pity for him, but she didn't expect that at this moment, he would save her a lot of trouble.
Zong Si stopped talking. He had not had a good sleep for dozens of days. Since he left the north, there had been three groups of people who came to kill him. So he had to be alert no matter what the situation was.
Dazhou is a mixed bag, with people from all over the place, and there are also many desperate criminals. He also has a base here that even Prince Xuan's palace doesn't know about. It is an excellent hiding place, so after leaving the north, he planned to hide here temporarily.
But before reaching Dazhou, he met Ning Fu in Huaishuo.
He was seriously injured when he was in the Tomb Mountain. His old injuries had not yet recovered. He barely managed to deal with the killer this time, and he himself was also seriously injured. Originally, he just wanted to hijack the carriage and hide temporarily, but unexpectedly it was her.
Knowing that he had married Nymph in his previous life and had clearly survived this difficult time, he was certain that nothing would happen to him, so even when making plans, he followed his own feelings.
But these few times, he had the thought that he might not be able to survive this disaster.
But he never expected that it was she who saved him in the previous life.
Maybe it was a coincidence that she saved herself in the previous life, but in this life, she was willing to take the initiative to save him again, even though she didn't know who he was.
Now that Ning Fu was by his side, Zong Si felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep.
The nymph did not disturb him.
The carriage quickly left the city. When Nymph stood up and lifted the curtain, unexpectedly, the man behind her suddenly sat up and then let out a muffled groan.
The wound must have been torn.
Ning Fu knew that he must be very alert at this moment when facing life and death, so she could not help but comfort him softly: "He has left the city."
The tone is like coaxing a child.
Under the mask, Zong Si's eyes flickered, and after a moment he said, "Send me to the City God Temple."
The temple was located under the forest where she found him in her previous life. Nymph thought that maybe someone was there to meet him, so she didn't say much.
"Someone is here to meet you," Nymph asked.
Zong Si was unsure at the moment, but was afraid that she would worry, so he just said "hmm".
Nymph couldn't help but pause. Compared to the man in her previous life who was so cold, wary and distant towards her, the man in this life didn't seem to be wary of her.
The man in the previous life was not only cold, but also carried hostility, hidden hatred, and the kind of indifference that seemed to not care about anything.
And at the moment, the man was still friendly to her.
When they arrived at the City God Temple, the man stood up and got off the carriage. Ning Fu knew that he was reluctant, so she stepped forward and supported him.
The man paused slightly, then glanced at her sideways, and then confidently borrowed her strength. It was also different from his previous life, when she generously helped him, and he always held the sword in his hand.
It seemed that if she made any move, he would kill her.
In this life, the man seemed to be very familiar with her, so familiar that physical contact with her seemed so natural to him.
Ning Fu's heart skipped a beat, and a guess was about to come to her mind.
"Girl, go back." Zong Si said lightly.
"Your injuries are so serious that you need someone to take care of you for two days." Ning Fu said with mixed feelings.
"My support person will be here soon," he said, "You are delaying me."
Nymph paused. Because the situation was different from that in her previous life, she couldn't judge how he was doing now. Seeing that he was standing fairly steadily, she said nothing more and got on the carriage.
After watching her leave, Zong Si's remaining strength was exhausted. He crawled into the City God Temple and lay on the ground.
At this time in her previous life, she was just a stranger to him, so he naturally didn't mind whether her rescue would be a burden to him, and his survival instinct would make him grab her as a life-saving straw.
But now he didn't want her to be implicated. Emperor Jingwen wanted him dead, and whoever saved him would be his accomplice.
His breathing became more rapid.
Then a figure, holding a sword, walked in.
Then, the people who came to pick him up were all dead.
Zong Si grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
With his other hand, he wanted to touch Ning He's purse again, but it was empty.
…
Nymph saw a purse on the carriage on the way back.
It was obviously left behind by the man.
Ningfu was stunned. Even though she had some guesses in her mind, she was still shocked when she confirmed it.
That was the purse she gave to Zong Ning, and later when Zong Si left the capital, he wore it.
In her previous life, the person she saved was Zong Si.
