Chapter 3 World One
Mu Nanxing pinched Baoshan's waist with both hands, and with a little force, he lifted the fan onto his shoulder.
Baoshan only had time to scream before his head and feet were reversed.
Fortunately, because she was placed on Mu Nanxing's shoulders, people around her could not see her exposed skin.
Zhang Shang, already suffering from a broken right hand, was sweating profusely. Seeing Mu Nanxing trying to take the treasured fan away, he stumbled to his feet, not caring whether he could reattach his own hand.
"Put Sister Baoshan down!"
Seeing his behavior, those who were unaware of the situation would actually think that a pair of infatuated people were forcibly separated. They would never have thought that Zhang Shang was the one with ulterior motives.
Mu Nanxing didn't even give him a glance, and jumped onto the horse with the treasure fan, his movements smooth and flowing.
Zhang Shang wanted to give chase, but was blocked by other soldiers and could not catch up.
Instead, he hit the wall of flesh and fell to the ground, his right hand making a crisp breaking sound.
No matter how Zhang Shang wailed, the other soldiers just remained motionless, and no one came forward to help him.
The horse's hooves kicked up dust, and Mu Nanxing pulled the reins, and the horse slowly stopped.
Someone from the post station immediately came to lead the horse into the stable, and only then noticed that there was a woman on Mu Nanxing's horse.
But before the coachman could take a closer look, Mu Nanxing took the woman away as if he were carrying cargo.
The groom muttered to himself as he prepared hay and water for the horses, and did not forget to discuss the new discoveries with his companions.
"The young marquis brought back a woman."
"Ha, how could that be? You must be drunk and your eyes are blurry."
"Nonsense, I haven't had a drop of alcohol today. It's absolutely true, it's just a woman."
"Do you think this is possible? The young marquis only has Miss Li in his heart. He has never seen any other woman get close to him in all these years.
The people serving him, from humans to horses, were all males!"
"What you said makes sense, could it be that I really saw it wrong..."
Baoshan was thrown roughly on the bed. Even though the bed was covered with thick bedding, Baoshan still felt pain all over his body.
She turned around and looked at Mu Nanxing. Her clothes were already torn, and because of this action, even more skin was exposed.
In addition, she was bumpy on the horse all the way, and her whole body was flushed with a seductive pink. Her two watery eyes looked at Mu Nanxing helplessly.
This scene can easily make any man lose his mind and unable to control himself.
But Mu Nanxing just looked at him coldly, holding a long whip for riding in his hand.
Baoshan saw that the long whip was different from the ordinary ones woven from cow and horse leather. It was mixed with gold and silver threads.
When the long whip was used to lift Baoshan's chin, she vaguely thought: It turns out that even with gold and silver, the whip is still just as cool.
Without waiting for Mu Nanxing to speak, Baoshan looked terrified.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me. I am deeply grateful and cannot repay you..."
Mu Nanxing sneered in his heart, thinking that since he had no way to repay her, he was going to pledge himself to her?
"Only by being a slave or a servant, working like an ox or a horse for the officials, can I repay even a little."
Mu Nanxing finally looked her in the eye. The whip in his hand, following the force of his wrist, was raised even higher.
He could see Bao Shan's entire face clearly. Mu Nanxing's gaze stayed on her delicate lips. The blood had dried up and was hanging on Bao Shan's lips in spots.
"lie."
Mu Nanxing gave his evaluation.
If you really appreciate his kindness, why do you take that bite?
Mu Nanxing has saved many people. After being rescued, their expressions were all filled with fear and awe, and they felt relieved after having saved their lives. They expressed their gratitude to their benefactors profusely, and some even wanted to repay their benefactors with their lives.
Mu Nanxing doesn't care about their repayment, nor will he satisfy their girlish thoughts. He will just leave them where they are.
Only the precious fan bit him, not as a way of repaying a favor, but rather as a way of taking revenge.
When Bao Shan heard Mu Nanxing's words, her face turned pale. She shook her head repeatedly, and her hair bun became a little loose.
"I didn't lie. The official saved me. If the official hadn't intervened, I would... today..."
She burst into tears, as if recalling what had just happened was like reliving a nightmare.
Bao Shan could only bite her lower lip and force herself to calm down. The red lips were bleeding from her bite, and the blood merged with the dried blood.
Mu Nanxing's expression darkened a bit, and his eyes, which were already as dark as ink, now had a hint of uncertainty.
"Today, I will surely be destroyed by that scoundrel. By then, my father and mother will have passed away, and I will have suffered such humiliation. What is the point of living any longer?
Fortunately, you appeared and saved me from the dire situation, so that I wouldn't die in misery."
Just like in the dream, her innocence was ruined, even though Zhang Shang promised to take her into his house.
But Baoshan in the dream didn't want to do that. She couldn't sleep in the same bed with a man who had ruined her innocence, let alone spend the rest of her life with him, so she chose to stay with her father and mother.
Mu Nanxing interrupted her crying.
"So your way of repaying your benefactor is to bite back?"
Of course not.
But if I don't do this, you will definitely leave me there.
Bao Shan didn't dare to say this and could only think about it silently in his heart.
Kindness and harm can leave the deepest impression on people, but Baoshan is just the daughter of a merchant, and now she has become a refugee with nothing.
As for Shi En, there is a huge gap in status between Mu Nanxing and Shi En. Mu Nanxing has everything he wants, but Shi En probably has no chance in this life.
Only by hurting Mu Nanxing can he temporarily stop thinking about abandoning her.
Thoughts only last for a moment.
Baoshan's face showed an even more guilty look.
"I was just scared. I don't know why, but I was bewildered for a moment and mistook you, the official, for that lecher.
I was afraid that he would be disrespectful to me again, so I bit him.
The woman's innocence was almost ruined, and she was so frightened that she looked dazed for a moment.
Mu Nanxing still felt a little depressed after being bitten for no apparent reason.
Baoshan saw that he was in a melancholy mood and looked thoughtful. His tearful face suddenly brightened up.
"Although I didn't mean to, I accidentally hurt the official, which is a serious crime."
Mu Nanxing raised an eyebrow slightly - Injured? Not really.
"Why don't you bite me back? That will be my atonement. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I bite you, and you bite me back. That's fair."
The more Bao Shan thought about it, the more she felt that this was the right move. She didn't even have time to wipe away the tears still hanging on her face. She avoided the long whip in Mu Nanxing's hand and walked in front of him.
When Mu Nanxing first heard this, he thought it made some sense.
He had been in the military for many years, and the soldiers believed in the principle of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." As long as it did not violate military regulations, if you hit me, I will definitely hit you back.
But when Baoshan walked in front of him, Mu Nanxing suddenly remembered that this was not a military camp, and the person in front of him was not a tough soldier, but a delicate woman who would tremble at the slightest wind.
As for the precious fan biting him, would he return it?
Baoshan looked much more relaxed than before because he had thought of a solution.
Mu Nanxing suddenly felt a pain in her chest, right where the treasured fan had bitten her. She had thrown herself into his arms and suddenly bit him. Now... was it returning it?
Where should he bite?
Baoshan's eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow on her white jade-like cheeks.
"Your chest must be very painful. I was just using too much force."
She suddenly sighed, looking ready to die.
"Sir, when you bite back later, you can use more force. If you make others feel more pain, the pain in your body will be less."
Although he spoke firmly, his body couldn't stop shaking. Especially his hand, which wanted to protect his chest but didn't dare to reach out.
Mu Nanxing looked in the direction of her hand and saw that the precious fan was slender.
Only here, there is a hillock-like protrusion, but it is more rounded than a hillock.
Bite back?
It will definitely hurt.
How could a man and a woman have the same strength? Even with the full force of the treasure fan, Mu Nanxing only frowned slightly.
If Mu Nanxing had bitten her with a little more force, Bao Shan would have burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.
"That's all."
Mu Nanxing turned away, leaving Baoshan alone in the room.
Bao Shan closed the door, picked up the bedding on the couch, and looked leisurely.
Mu Nanxing returned to his room and took off his robe while taking a bath in the evening.
The wooden boards made a squeaking sound when my feet stepped on them.
A sudden sharp pain in his chest made him look in the direction of the pain.
There was indeed a circle of bite marks there. Mu Nanxing reached out and touched it. The circle of tooth marks showed that it was a row of small but sharp silver teeth.
The depth of the skin depression is enough to prove that the owner has used all his strength.
I really don’t know whether to say it was a lucky bite or a bad bite.
The tooth mark was exactly half a finger away from Zhu Yuhong, and it was bitten neatly and not too far away.
If it were any closer, even Mu Nanxing couldn't be sure whether he would cry out in pain.
After taking a bath, today, Mu Nanxing added another basin of cold water.
Cold water can relieve pain and is quite effective.
The attendants waited for Zhang Shang to come back at Zhang's house, but they waited and waited but there was no sign of him.
Then he hurriedly went to look for his master, and finally found Zhang Shang who had fainted in pain on the ground in a secluded place.
After calling out to Zhang Shang a few times but he showed no movement, the attendant quickly carried Zhang Shang on his back and ran back to the mansion.
When Mrs. Zhang saw her son faint, she cried out in despair and ordered someone to call a doctor. After two or three injections, Zhang Shang regained consciousness. Before Mrs. Zhang could even thank the Buddha for his kindness, she heard the doctor deliver the devastating news.
"Mr. Zhang's hand is probably broken."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Quack! Trash!"
The doctor grabbed Zhang Shang's limp right hand, as if it had no bones, and fiddled with it at will.
Mrs. Zhang almost fainted. When Lord Zhang arrived and learned everything, there was another chaos.
Zhang Shang was filled with hatred and anger as his right hand was disabled, but he had something else on his mind that was even more concerning.
"Mom, you must help me, you must help me!"
Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and made promises repeatedly.
"Don't worry, my son. Even if I have to find all the famous doctors in the world, I will cure your hand!"
"Mom, please help me find someone. Her name is Bao Shan, and she was taken away by the person who hurt me!"
The mother and son spoke at the same time.
Madam Zhang stared fiercely at the attendant who had gone out with Zhang Shang today.
The follower blamed Zhang Shang in his heart. It was already this late, why did he have to mention the treasure fan at this time?
Although he knew he would be scolded if he told it out loud, the follower had no choice but to tell the whole story.
Mrs. Zhang's complexion changed again and again, from red to black, and then to blue and purple.
She comforted Zhang Shang in a gentle voice, and then went out and scolded her followers.
"I asked you to accompany the young master because I wanted you to take care of him. You are the servant and he is the master. But now, the young master is lying in bed, and you are standing here. What use is there for you?
What woman are you looking for? If it weren't for that woman, how could my son have encountered such a sudden disaster today?"
The followers did not dare to refute and could only nod in agreement.
Mrs. Zhang was extremely angry and even punished her attendant with thirty sticks, but she still wasn't satisfied.
She arranged for her servants to find a doctor who was good at treating severed hands, and she was determined to invite him no matter what the cost.
While thinking about how to find the culprit who hurt her son and the source of the disaster.
Mrs. Zhang's hatred for the precious fan was no less than that for the person who crippled her son's right hand.
If Baoshan hadn't relied on her good looks to deliberately seduce her son, how could he have been bewitched and wanted the bad guy to be innocent? It was all that woman's fault!
If I could find her, I would definitely skin her alive and destroy her face to vent my anger!
