“Me? What about me!” She became very unhappy and pointed at the pair of injured legs . “If you have no intention of pardoning those that harmed you, then you have no right to accuse me of any wrongdoing . Bad deeds have always been repaid in kind . If they don’t harm me, what bad deed has been done to me?”
Never before had he been spoken to and treated this way . She did not grove, nor did she try to curry his favor, nor did she show any courtesy or respect . She had her own ideas and wouldn’t hesitate to boldly retort . When he would say something, she would retort and leave him speechless .
Seeing her pouting angry face, with cheeks puffed to the point of bursting, the man’s angry expression quickly became a smile, as his lips curled up ever so slightly . Looking towards the already visible stream, he asked . “Are we going?”
Feng Yu Heng dropped to a seated position on the ground . “Not going . Tired . ”
The two, sitting side by side, watched the fire from the mass grave slowly start to die down . It seemed there were almost no more corpses left to burn .
At this moment, a couple of shadows danced on the rocks near the crevice they had just departed . They belonged to a couple of people who appeared to be looking for something .
Feng Yu Heng stood up, eyes glistened as they looked around for a while . She then looked towards the person next to her . “Hey, they’re looking for you right?”
The man replied, “Why can’t they be looking for you?”
“How’s that possible?” Feng Yu Heng’s demeanor became slightly erratic at the thought of this possibility . “My mother is very ill and cannot get out of bed . My little brother is but six years old . The other villagers want to harm us or avoid us . ”
She pointed at the shadows and raised an eyebrow . Her pink lips slightly puckered, she tilted her head enigmatically . She exuded an air of profound wisdom . “They went straight for the mountain crevice . They definitely knew you were there . ”
The young man sluggishly raised his eyes and looked at Feng Yu Heng’s aloof yet clever appearance . This girl was extremely amusing . Truly quite amusing .
Ceasing this line of thought, he gently raised his right hand . Using his index finger and thumb, he whistled loudly . The two people quickly came in their direction .
It was a young man with an elderly man over 50 years old . The elder was carrying a medicine kit on his back, so he should be a doctor .
The young man had a full set of black clothing, with a sword at his waist . He was clearly a bodyguard . After seeing the man in the brocade, he visibly let out a sigh . “After young master could not be found, this subordinate feared that something had happened . ” The bodyguard reached out to the out-of-breath old man and pushed brought him forward . “This is a doctor I found in the capital . Let him see to young master’s wounds . ”
The brocade-wearing man nodded, glancing at the doctor . “I’ll be troubling you . ”
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “I don’t dare . ” In saying so, he hurried forward to inspect the injuries .
Only then, did the bodyguard set his eyes upon Feng Yu Heng . He furrowed his brows asking, “Who are you?”
“An arsonist . ” The brocade-wearing young man responded for her .
Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow . “Which eye of yours saw me start the fire?”
“Both of my eyes saw it . ”
“Young master,” The old man began, “Your kneecaps have broken . ”
These few words attracted the few people to look at the legs .
The brocade-wearing man nodded . “I know . Sir, do you know how to set broken bones?”
The old man hesitated briefly, then immediately responded: “I do indeed know how, but doing it causes a great deal of pain . I am afraid a normal person couldn’t handle it! This old man was…” He looked at the bodyguard . “Was on the path to visit a patient when this little brother grabbed me and brought me along . This medical kit only has some common medical supplies; there is no anesthetic . ”
“If there is no anesthetic, then you might die of pain . ” Feng Yu Heng added coldly .
The old man agreed: “Further, in addition to setting the bones, the flesh in the area must first be scraped clean . The area this old man is looking at is already swollen . I worry… ay, this mountainous, abandoned region… How about letting this little brother carry you, then follow this old man back to the clinic in the capital . ”
“No . ” The brocade-wearing man firmly denied it . “Just do it here . ”
The old man repeatedly wrung his hands . “No, no, there’s no anesthetic . This kind of injury, this old man does not dare treat . ”
