Chapter 142 Return to Beijing
Shen He's heart almost stopped beating at this moment.
She looked at the man in front of her who was so weak that he needed her support, and for the first time she felt a shudder from the depths of her soul.
"Come up."
Ah Sheng's voice sounded in her ears, hoarse and weak, but with an unquestionable command.
Shen He froze.
"Believe me."
He spoke again, his hot breath spraying on her earlobe, bringing a slight itch.
Chen He took a deep breath, suppressed all the turmoil in his heart, and regained his usual calmness on his face.
She looked at the wolf king who was as big as a hill, and then looked at Ah Sheng.
Finally, she nodded.
Ah Sheng seemed to smile. He held Chen He's waist and, using his last bit of strength, gently lifted her up and placed her steadily on the wolf king's back.
The wolf's back is broad and its fur is thick, making it surprisingly stable to sit on.
Immediately afterwards, Ah Sheng also turned over and sat behind her.
His tall body enveloped her entire petite figure.
One arm naturally wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly in front of him.
Shen He's body tensed instantly.
Her back was pressed against his hot chest, and his masculine scent with a faint smell of blood completely enveloped her.
Strange, yet strangely familiar.
“Ouch—!”
The wolf king let out a long howl towards the sky!
That whistling sound is an order!
In an instant, the entire wolf pack responded!
Half of the wolves rushed to the front, their claws flying, their fangs tearing, and they actually used their bodies to clear a path in the thorny forest!
The other half of the wolves guarded the rear and both sides, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, forming an impenetrable protective circle.
The wolf king exerted force with all four hooves and rushed forward!
"ah!"
Chen He was caught off guard and screamed subconsciously.
The speed is too fast!
The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded, turning into a blurry shadow.
She felt dizzy, and the arm around her waist suddenly tightened. A steady voice came close to her ear.
"Don't be afraid."
That voice seemed to carry some kind of magic, instantly calming the panic in her heart.
Chen He leaned in his burning arms, looking at the group of "wolf soldiers" in front of them who were clearing the way for them, and could no longer utter a word.
This situation is like a dream.
And the man behind her is a mystery more illusory than a dream.
***
I don’t know how long it took, but the shaking under me suddenly stopped.
The wolf king stopped steadily under the familiar crooked tree.
Not far away, her chestnut horse was paddling its hooves and snorting restlessly, obviously fearing these uninvited guests.
We have reached the valley entrance.
They are back.
Before Chen He could breathe a sigh of relief, Ah Sheng behind him made a move.
He patted the wolf king's head gently, his voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
"Go ahead."
The wolf king seemed to understand what the people said, and let out a wronged, puppy-like whimper from his throat.
It lowered its huge head and rubbed it reluctantly in his weak palm.
That scene was incredibly gentle.
Chen He's heart contracted violently again.
Then, the wolf king raised his head and gave a low command to the mountains and forests.
The wolves retreated silently like the tide and disappeared into the deep forest in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
At the mouth of the valley, only she, he, and a frightened horse were left.
And the silence that seemed to swallow everything.
Chen He finally couldn't help it, and turned back suddenly, her clear eyes locked on him tightly.
"you……"
She had so many questions to ask and so many mysteries to solve.
However, she was interrupted by him before she could say a word.
Ah Sheng met her gaze, and his deep eyes, under the moonlight, revealed a tired smile that seemed to see through people's hearts.
"Chen He."
For the first time, he called her name clearly and solemnly.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
His voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable power that instantly blocked all the questions that were about to come out of her mouth.
"The important thing is that you got the Silver Spirit Grass, and I'm still alive."
He supported his disheveled body and swiftly rolled off the horse. The movement affected his wound, causing him to groan barely perceptibly.
Chen He's heart tightened, and he jumped down as well, reaching out to help him.
"Let's go quickly. I'll take you to the best clinic in the capital!"
“No need.”
He moved aside to avoid her hand, his tone cold and distant.
Chen He was stunned, and a nameless anger rose up.
"Your injuries are so severe! If you don't get treatment, do you want to die?!"
She saw it all: the wound on his back was so deep that the bone was visible, and the blood almost soaked half of his clothes!
Ah Sheng looked at the anxiety and anger in her eyes, and the expression on his pale face relaxed for a moment.
"I will handle my own affairs."
"How do you deal with it? You..."
Shen He was interrupted again, this time because she couldn't continue.
Yes.
A man who can command a pack of wolves, a man whose identity is a mystery, how could he not have a more capable doctor by his side?
Perhaps he didn't want to know where he was going at all.
Everything about him is a mystery.
Chen He laughed at himself, feeling that he was really meddling in other people's business.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable irritation in her heart, and regained her usual calmness.
"Okay, I won't ask."
Seeing that she no longer insisted, Ah Sheng's eyes softened a little.
The two of them mounted their horses one after the other, and this time, Shen He sat in the front.
Ah Sheng's body was still leaning weakly against her back, and his hot body temperature could be felt through his thin clothes, making it impossible for her to ignore it.
The horses galloped straight towards the capital.
The city gate was right in front of them. Ah Sheng suddenly said, "Stop at the intersection ahead."
Chen He reined in his horse as he was told and stopped it at the entrance of a secluded alley.
She was about to say something when Ah Sheng took something out of his arms and handed it to her.
That is a hairpin.
The entire hairpin is carved from warm white jade, and the head of the hairpin is a lotus bud about to bloom. The style is simple, but extremely exquisite.
"What is this?" Shen He was puzzled.
Ah Sheng did not answer, but stretched out his slender fingers and gently twisted the pistil of the lotus.
With a "click".
The lotus broke apart, revealing the hollow hairpin inside, which turned out to be a small jade flute!
Chen He's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Next time you encounter such a dangerous situation," Ah Sheng's voice rang close to her ear, with a hint of an irresistible command, "blow it."
"No, don't take risks alone again."
After saying that, he closed the jade flute again and inserted it into her hair bun without saying anything.
The cold jade pressed against the warm scalp, causing a slight shiver.
Without waiting for Chen He to react, Ah Sheng had already turned over and got off the horse, his movements still smooth, as if the person who couldn't even stand steadily just now was not him.
He turned around and walked into the deep alley without any reluctance.
"Hello!"
Shen He shouted subconsciously.
The tall and thin figure disappeared into the darkness without even a pause.
Without even looking back.
Chen He sat on his horse, staring blankly at the deserted alley, without moving for a long time.
She raised her hand and gently touched the jade hairpin in her hair.
Cold and hard.
Just like the feeling that man gave her.
