157 Go Away, You Are Just a Burden

"Who?"

There seemed to be a figure halfway up the waist, but the figure was motionless and silent.

Feng Qingchen was unsure, so he shook the lamp in his hand, pulled the reins, and dared not move forward.

It was too far away, Feng Qingchen could only vaguely see a figure, and he didn't know whether it was a person or clothes, or maybe the person was also dead.

Illuminated by the light, the figure did not move. Feng Qingchen hesitated for a moment, turned over and dismounted, holding the flashlight in his left hand and the gun in his right hand, and walked towards the middle of the mountain.

Feng Qingchen considered herself to be quite brave, and faced with the corpses lying all over the place, she did not feel any pressure at all. However, every time she passed a corpse, she would shine the light on it, and only when she was sure that it was not the Ninth Prince would she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is he dead or not? If he is alive, let me know. Otherwise, I will give you a ride." As he got closer, Feng Qingchen was sure that it was a person standing there, not a piece of clothing.

That figure looked somewhat familiar.

About twenty meters away from the figure, Feng Qingchen stopped moving forward.

This distance is safe enough, and even if the other party attacks, she will have time to escape.

"You won't make any sound, right? Then I'll assume you're dead. For safety's sake, you don't mind me giving you one more stab." Feng Qingchen stuffed the flashlight into the back of his backpack.

With a "click", he pulled the safety and pointed the gun at the figure.

Don't blame her if she dies in vain. If she keeps silent, she is an enemy, not a friend.

"Bang..." Feng Qingchen pulled the trigger and the bullet flew out of the chamber. The powerful impact force caused a "whoosh" sound, which was extremely harsh in the silent night.

In the blink of an eye, the figure suddenly moved, and a large knife shining with cold light suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

With a "bang", the bullet pierced the back of the knife, and the figure fell backwards. The bullet grazed his clothes and fell on the grass with a "pop".

"A living person? Then die in my hands." The string was tightened, and at the first moment when the figure counterattacked, Feng Qingchen pulled the safety again and aimed at the black shadow.

Feng Qingchen responded calmly, narrowed his eyes, and pulled the trigger with his finger, ready to shoot again.

The figure suddenly put away the knife and said, "Feng Qingchen, you are very brave."

"Ninth Uncle, is that you?" Feng Qingchen's breath was choked, and he pressed his hands down, hitting the ground with a bang.

If it were any other time, she would definitely feel bad for wasting bullets, but now that she saw Dong Lingjiu was fine, she was filled with joy: "Uncle Jiu, I'm so glad you're okay."

In contrast to Feng Qingchen's joy, Dong Lingjiu looked indifferent and stood still: "Feng Qingchen, why are you here?"

"In reply to Uncle Ninth Prince, Qingchen was attacked by a pack of wolves in Baicao Garden. I heard that Uncle Ninth Prince and Prince Chunyu were hunting there, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help." Feng Qingchen responded hurriedly, ignoring the coldness in Dong Lingjiu's tone.

"Help? Just you? You're so self-righteous." Dong Lingjiu was not moved at all. In his eyes, Feng Qingchen's behavior was too stupid.

A troublesome woman.

"Ninth Uncle, I'm a doctor. I just met Prince Chunyu on the road. He was injured, and Qingchen bandaged him." Feng Qingchen explained softly.

Although she is a woman, she is not useless. Her coming here will not cause trouble for Dong Lingjiu.

"Where are Prince Chunyu's people?" Dong Lingjiu turned around and looked at Feng Qingchen.

However, because it was dark, Feng Qingchen could not clearly see the expression on Dong Lingjiu's face. She just thought that he was concerned about Dong Ling Zichun, so she told him everything that happened on the road and repeatedly assured him that Dong Ling Zichun's life was not in danger.

"Yeah." Dong Lingjiu was as quiet as ever, but walked down from halfway up the mountain.

"Feng Qingchen, this is not the place you should come to. There is no need for a doctor here. Don't let it happen again." Dong Lingjiu stood in front of Feng Qingchen, took a look at the things on Feng Qingchen's body, frowned, but did not ask a word.

Feng Qingchen lowered her head. For some reason, she didn't dare to explain. Facing the Ninth Uncle was like facing her own boss. She dared not do anything except obey his orders.

Dong Lingjiu sighed, ignoring the strange things on Feng Qingchen, and just said: "Feng Qingchen, go back."

"Is the Ninth Prince not going back?" Feng Qingchen looked up and asked, but Dong Lingjiu looked at him coldly: "Do you think you can interfere in my affairs?"

"Qingchen dare not, but Qingchen knows the way." Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes and found a lame excuse.

"Hmph, if you can find this place, you can find the way back. Feng Qingchen, I hate stupid women, and I also hate women who are too smart." Dong Lingjiu is obviously not a man who is gentle with women, and his intention to leave is quite obvious.

Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment, feeling upset, but she looked up, met Dong Lingjiu's eyes, and said firmly: "Uncle Jiu, Qingchen is neither stupid nor smart, Qingchen just acts according to his own determination. I, Feng Qingchen, swear on my life that no matter what happens tonight, as long as I go out, I will pretend that nothing has happened. Can I stay like this?"

When Feng Qingchen came in, he saw these corpses. Judging from the degree of blood coagulation, these people had been dead for at least half an hour. Even though they were dead, the Ninth Prince did not leave. It was obvious that he was waiting for something.

She knew that she shouldn't interfere in the life of the Ninth Prince, but... she wanted to understand this man.

The outside world's evaluation of him was too unreal. She wanted to see the real Dong Lingjiu so that she could know what the person she liked was actually like.

"Stay? Will you stay and cause trouble? I'm not interested in bringing you along as a burden." Dong Lingjiu looked at Feng Qingchen with disdain.

"I won't be a burden. I have the ability to protect myself." No one has ever called her a burden. Dong Lingjiu was the first one, but she just couldn't get angry.

"The ability to protect yourself? That's the thing you just used to shoot me? You think you can protect yourself with that thing? How naive." Dong Lingjiu's eyes fell on Feng Qingchen's pistol. Feng Qingchen reflexively retracted his hand and hid behind himself.

"I am not interested in your things." Dong Ling Jiuhei said with a gloomy face.

Feng Qingchen awkwardly took a step back and said hesitantly, "That was an accident just now." Someone accidentally shot at you, and you accidentally dodged it.

As for the thing in his hand, Feng Qingchen did not explain it, nor did he intend to show it to Dong Lingjiu.

Even though she liked him, she couldn't lose herself because of him. Feng Qingchen was sure that the current Ninth Prince was not worthy of her telling him the secret of the smart medical kit.

It's okay to be emotional, but we should be rational where we need to be rational.

"Hmph, one accident is enough to take your life." Dong Lingjiu's expression seemed to have improved a little, and Feng Qingchen also breathed a sigh of relief. After putting away the gun, he held the emergency light instead and quickly changed the subject.

"Ninth Uncle, there are so many corpses on the ground, should we go to another place?" If she wasn't forced to leave, she would stay shamelessly.

"If you don't want to change, get out of here if you're scared." Dong Lingjiu's face turned ugly again when he mentioned this.

Asshole, he actually dared to threaten him to wait there. He was really tired of living, but he had to stay...

"I'm not scared." Feng Qingchen muttered softly, and then said no more, taking off the backpack behind him: "Since we are staying here, I will clean up here. Ninth Uncle, you should have a rest and get enough rest."

Although Feng Qingchen was also very tired, he tried his best to keep his tone light.

She wanted Dong Lingjiu to understand that she, Feng Qingchen, was not a burden, nor was she useless...
