Chapter 230: She cares so much about this mortal.
Wen Yu still closed her eyes and did not take Yu Chang's words to heart. She shrugged innocently, feeling quite confused.
"I didn't say anything just now?"
Yu Chang's tone was calm, but compared to usual, it was a little colder and stiffer.
"Wenyu."
Hearing Yu Chang calling her name directly, Wen Yu lifted her sleeves and tilted her head to look at him. Although she reacted, she didn't look serious.
She frowned, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "I'm talking about washing the inkstone..."
"Before." Yu Chang was still as concise as usual.
"I'm asking... Madam Wen?" Wen Yu's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find anything special.
"Go a little further." Yu Chang straightened his expression, obviously not joking with Wen Yu.
Wen Yu's face darkened, and she immediately noticed Yu Chang's seriousness and earnestness. She used her hands and feet to climb up from the bench and sat up straight.
"I'm wondering... why aren't there any patients today?"
She remembered what she had asked Yu Chang when she first arrived at the medical clinic. This was the correct question.
As Wen Yu finished speaking, Yu Chang stopped asking questions, but it was his reaction that made Wen Yu confirm her guess.
"Yu Chang, what's wrong?" Wen Yu's heart was surging. She felt quite nervous and at a loss, but she couldn't hide her confusion.
Yu Chang is different from her, he is not the kind of person who jokes casually.
There must be a reason for asking this question now.
Yu Chang's eyebrows twitched, and he stared at Wen Yu's eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Until Wen Yu tilted her head, her doubtful look became even more intense, "Yu Chang!"
The latter hesitated several times and didn't know how to start.
Yu Chang only felt his eyelids twitching. As he said, he didn't care about other people's affairs.
Therefore, he did not have much feeling about what was about to happen, but facing Wen Yucheng's clear eyes, he did not dare to look directly at her.
"Soon, I think."
"Hmm?" Wen Yu's eyes and eyebrows were full of doubts, but more of it was confusion.
But when she looked directly into Yu Chang's pair of clear yet melancholy eyes, her heart suddenly ached.
She knew that Yu Chang would not tell lies at this time.
Wen Yu put her feet on the ground and sat upright in the corridor. Her expression became serious and she was no longer as playful as before.
"Yu Chang, what on earth are you talking about—"
Before Wen Yu could finish his words, and before Yu Chang could respond, a scream came from far away, breaking through the air and like an arrow, straight into the doctor's room and arriving in front of Wen Yu.
"Madam Wen! Madam Wen!"
Wen Yu felt a chill on her face. That voice was as frightening as an arrow, because she could clearly tell that the person was—
Wash the inkstone.
Didn't he go with Song Linsheng to inspect the newly opened factory...
In a flash, Wen Yu was suddenly startled and stood up from the bench, taking a few quick steps forward.
The casual and relaxed look just now disappeared, replaced by a furrowed brow and sharp eyes.
"Wash the inkstone!"
Just as Wen Yu was about to speak, the man came in with hurried steps and a crooked body, almost sliding into the doctor's room.
"Madam Wen!" Xi Yan didn't have time to get up, and grabbed Wen Yu's wrist, as if holding the last straw, "Madam Wen, help me!"
Wen Yu's heart tightened and she felt an indescribable sense of suffocation. She picked up the inkstone and quickly glanced behind him, but she didn't know why he was so panicked.
"Xiyan, what's wrong with you?"
Xiyan was breathing heavily, but he didn't even stop for a moment. He looked at Wenyu anxiously but with great determination.
The unreserved trust in that statement also shocked Yu Chang who was standing by.
"It's not me, it's the Master! It's the Master!" Xi Yan shouted in panic, not even caring about his own voice becoming hoarse from yelling, "Madam Wen, the Master is in trouble!"
Before Xiyan finished speaking, Wen Yu reacted very quickly. She hurriedly threw Xiyan to Yu Chang and swept it away like a gust of wind.
"Madam Wen!" Xi Yan put one hand on his chest and struggled to stand up, "Madam Wen——"
Yu Chang raised his sleeve and grabbed Xi Yan's arm, practically lifting him up in his palm. "She'll be fine."
Even as he said this, Yu Chang's brows were already covered with dark clouds, without a trace of sunshine.
This is the Yuan River, where he has lived for tens of millions of years. Naturally, he is more sensitive than ordinary people to everything happening around him.
Even though he knew nothing about it, he could not hide the bloody smell from Xi Yan.
"Xingxing." Xiyan seemed to have just come back to his senses. He pulled his hand away from Yu Chang's support and said, "I will lead the way for Madam Wen."
"No need." Yu Chang lowered his brows and glanced at Xi Yan's muddy body. He had some guesses about what was happening over there. "You can make the bed in the doctor's room and boil some hot water."
After saying this, Yu Chang turned around and was about to leave, but after hearing the sound of "ying ying" from Xiyan, he finally stopped and turned back to say, "Don't worry, Wen Yu and I will go save your young master."
As if he was afraid that Xi Yan wouldn't be able to accept it, Yu Chang's eyes flickered, and he actually raised his sleeve to pat the back of his hand, and tried to lower his voice, "Wen Yu will bring your son back later, and we still need someone to take care of this place."
Xiyan's lips moved up and down, tears welled up in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
Seeing this, Yu Chang nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the clinic, chasing after Wen Yu.
The Yuan River is wide, so the riverbanks on both sides are also built magnificently. The endless reed marshes extend all the way down along the embankment, and the floating reed flowers flutter in the air, blurring Wen Yu's eyes.
What kind of thing would make Xi Yan cry for help?
Wen Yu didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it. She only felt a blank in her mind, and the dense roar filled her ears.
This feeling of being nervous, cramped and at a loss made her feel unprecedented panic.
His steps had already become disorderly and he walked forward hurriedly, taking one deep step and one shallow step, as if he didn't know where he was stepping.
She only knew that she had to find Song Linsheng.
She was too careless and let Song Linsheng go to inspect the factory alone.
"Wenyu." Yu Chang followed from behind and grabbed Wenyu's wrist, "Go this way."
Wen Yu is now in an unstable state of mind, and he is worried that she will do something out of line.
Yu Chang frowned and his expression became solemn.
Since she wanted to find Song Linsheng, he would take her there.
He was much more familiar with the terrain of the Yuan River than Wen Yu, and it would take less time. After all, for a mortal with a fragile lifespan, a moment could be fatal.
Wen Yu quickly glanced at Yu Chang. She no longer had the heart to joke with him. She just nodded hurriedly and said, "Hurry up."
Yu Chang said no more, looked back at Wen Yu affirmatively, and then took her hand and walked into the layers of reeds.
Reed catkins are flying and the blue waves are rippling.
But in the blink of an eye, when Yu Chang raised his sleeves to push aside the reed flowers, the scene before Wen Yu's eyes had completely changed.
The newly opened factory had to start with cultivating the soil and digging canals. In addition, there had been continuous rain in the past few days, so the factory was now muddy and dirty.
The yamen runners who were in charge of the work all rolled up their shirts and tucked them around their waists, leaving not a single spot on their legs or feet clean.
Contrary to Wen Yu's expectations, the people who were originally thought to be busy and orderly were now standing in one place in silence.
They were not even surprised by Wen Yu's arrival. Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Some of them, who knew Wen Yu well, boldly said, "Madam Wen, hurry up!"
This sound was like thunder coming out of nowhere, blasting Wen Yu's disordered and confused consciousness apart, causing the desolate river wind to rush in through the gap.
Wen Yu suddenly came to her senses, raised her eyes and glanced at everyone present, but she didn't see the person she was looking for.
"Where's Song Linsheng!"
She seemed to have never spoken so harshly before, and even she herself found it unfamiliar.
The unknown surrounded her, panic taking control of her.
Even after Xi Yan had cried out for help, she still held on to a 1 in 10,000 hope, praying that Song Linsheng was okay, or perhaps he was just not there.
But things did not go as planned. After Wen Yu asked the question, the yamen runners in the mansion looked at each other in confusion, and then as if they had agreed beforehand, they retreated to both sides in an orderly manner, revealing the true situation behind them.
The silt that could be seen everywhere in the workshop now glowed scarlet, and the slanted wood was piled up in a disorderly manner, obviously not where it should be.
The broken stones of various sizes, which were originally used to build dams, are now scattered everywhere, and the sharp burrs seem to have become deadly weapons.
The chaotic scene distracts people's attention, but the almost indistinguishable moonlight buried in it draws people's attention to one spot.
"Song Linsheng!" Wen Yu's pupils suddenly contracted when she came into contact with the clothes, and then she stepped into the mud without caring, "Song Linsheng!"
how so!
The mud and dirt around him almost drowned Song Linsheng. His moon-white clothes had long lost their original color. Almost half of his jade-like cheek was sunken in the mud, and the other half was covered with unclear bloodstains.
Song Linsheng was like a withered magnolia, falling from the branch and into the deep desolation. It no longer had the snow-like color it once had. No matter how beautifully it bloomed, it would eventually be crushed into mud.
Wen Yu felt a pain in his heart, and even his breathing stopped.
The original panic and tension disappeared in an instant. The scene in front of her seemed to give Wen Yu a blow, making her suddenly silent.
"Mrs. Wen, Mr. Xiyan ordered us not to move the master..." Someone at the side hesitated to explain, as if wondering why the situation was like this.
Wen Yu seemed to be deaf to his words. She only knew that the person buried under the rocks and wood was indeed Song Linsheng, who was hunched over and sleeping, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Yu Chang glanced coldly at everyone present. Xi Yan was right. It was indeed not easy to move in this situation.
But Wen Yu would probably feel uncomfortable in such a situation.
After all, she cares so much about this mortal.
"Song Linsheng..." Wen Yu called softly, her hurried steps slowing down as she got closer to him. "Song Linsheng?"
When she got closer, Wen Yu discovered that what covered most of Song Linsheng's body, besides the rocks and wood, was a black and white swallow kite.
Wen Yu's eyes flashed, and the kite in front of her suddenly overlapped with the one she had just remembered, which startled Wen Yu so much that her legs went weak.
There were patches of mud and spots of blood on it, and one end of the kite string was still tightly held in Song Linsheng's palm.
Wen Yu was a little confused about where on Song Linsheng's body the bloodstains that had soaked most of his clothes and were so blurry that they couldn't be seen came from.
She glanced around, not caring about the many people present, and immediately lifted up the kite. When she was about to throw it away, she suddenly stopped.
"Wow..." A faint and tiny cry sounded intermittently.
