Chapter 10 Pull the Hook

"It's the villain who accidentally injured the county horse because of his ignorance. It's the villain's fault!"

Xu Luo quickly admitted his mistake.

"Accidental injury?" Su Changle read these two words, "I don't understand the princess. How could he, a poor man, get into Mr. Xu's eyes? Let Mr. Xu accidentally injure him?"

Xu Luo wiped the water stains on his face: "I heard that Mrs. Wei wanted Jiang Shen to become the son-in-law of Chenglong, so..."

"So you're angry?"

Su Changle thought for a while: Xu Luo's father, Xu Chang, was already on good terms with Wei Yue. There was no need to be angry because of a son-in-law who was riding a dragon. Then the reason for his anger was...

Su Changle guessed: "Are you happy with Wei Ruyi?"

In Su Changle's heart, Xu Luo had always been a dandy who only knew how to live happily and drunkenly. She never thought that Xu Luo could actually have a woman he liked.

Su Changle glanced at the girl huddled under the quilt in the gauze tent.

Xu Luo naturally knew what Su Changle was looking at, and he also knew that the things he did would not be on the table.

"This county is not in charge of your affairs, but Jiang Shen belongs to my princess. Don't provoke him if you have nothing to do."

Su Changle looked at the late night sky and said to Xu Luo: "Jiang Shen has stayed in the princess's mansion for the past two days to recuperate. This princess feels that since Mr. Xu was accidentally injured, he should apologize with some sincerity."

After Su Changle said that, he turned and left.

Only Xu Luo raised his hand and pressed the slightly opened hole in his neck.

--

When Su Changle returned to the princess's mansion, Jiang Shen had already been taken care of.

Ah Zhu watched Su Changle come back in a hurry from outside and went to greet her: "How is the princess?"

"It's okay." Su Changle just came out of Xu Luo's place and felt that his whole body was very dirty, "Azhu, prepare some water, I want to take a bath."

Azhu thought Su Changle had gotten dirty in the cellar, so he went straight to the back to quickly prepare water without asking any questions.

Su Changle quickly cleaned up after himself, and then went to see Jiang Shen.

"What did the doctor say?" Su Changle saw that Jiang Shen's face was still a little pale, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't worry, Princess. The doctor said it's just that the wind and cold have gotten a little worse, and Xu hasn't had enough water and rice, so she's a little weak."

Azhu knew that Su Changle cared about Jiang Shen, so before the doctor left, he stopped him and asked him carefully.

"That's good." Su Changle always felt at ease when Azhu was doing things.

Azhu saw that Su Changle had no intention of leaving: "Want to keep watch here, Princess?"

"Yeah." Su Changle nodded and squatted on the footrest beside the bed.

Her head was propped on the bed, her chin resting on her palm, and she looked at Jiang Shen intently.

"What if Jiang Shen wakes up and is scared." Su Changle found a reason for himself.

Azhu: Not really...not very good at it.

Su Changle waved his hand towards Ah Zhu and said softly: "You go back to sleep first and leave someone at the door. I will call someone if anything happens."

"Okay, Princess, you haven't been here for long. If you can't hold it any longer, just take a nap first."

"Yeah, don't worry."

Azhu looked at Su Changle who couldn't persuade him at all, turned around and went out, closing the door tightly.

Su Changle looked at Jiang Shen who was lying quietly on the bed and thought to himself: Only a fool would go back!

She knew that Jiang Shen was sleeping here honestly, and when he opened his eyes, he would definitely leave.

She won't be able to stop him then!

Jiang Shen's breathing was steady, and he looked like he was sleeping well.

Coupled with the effect of the medicine, he shouldn't wake up so easily.

Su Changle thought, and then his hand moved slowly along the edge of the bed to Jiang Shen's hand.

Then he stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Jiang Shen's.

Jiang Shen's eyebrows moved invisible.

"Caught it!" Su Changle exclaimed quietly.

She covered her mouth and lay beside the bed, smiling softly: "Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen, I finally caught you!"

Su Changle didn't dare to make any big moves, just licking her little finger was enough to make her secretly happy.

She hooked Jiang Shen with one hand, supported her head with the other hand, and carefully traced Jiang Shen's eyebrows with her eyes.

"It's so beautiful!"

Su Changle always knew that Jiang Shen was really good-looking.

But during the day, Jiang Shen always felt a little distant from her. Before she could take a closer look at Jiang Shen's features, Jiang Shen only left her with a cold back.

Su Changle was secretly angry many times because of this matter.

But every time Su Changle thought about never giving Jiang Shen a chance this time, when Jiang Shen looked at her, she completely forgot about her future.

For example, today.

Originally, she wanted to ask Jiang Shen why he didn't come to see her even though she was sick because of him.

But now...

Su Changle looked at the tip of his handsome nose and smiled silly: "It's so beautiful..."

Su Changle had been running around all day and had just taken a shower again. The tension in his body had been completely relieved.

And sleepiness is contagious!

Su Changle stared straight at Jiang Shen sleeping soundly, and he couldn't help but yawn a few times.

Then he fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bed.

She secretly hooked her little finger and forgot to take it back.

What's more, Jiang Shen, who was supposed to be sleeping, slowly opened his eyes.

Jiang Shen has always been a light sleeper. He can't sleep deeply in a place he is familiar with, let alone in an unfamiliar place.

He lowered his eyes and saw the little girl sleeping soundly beside the bed, as well as the little fingers of the two people slightly hooked.

The tip of his heart trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but move the hooked little finger.

I originally thought that the little girl would wake up, but I didn't expect that her fingers would tighten with her movements.

"What a brave little girl."

Jiang Shen sighed in his heart.

Jiang Shen did not pull out the fingers hooked by Su Changle, but looked steadily at the top of the bed.

Maybe it was the warm temperature around him that reminded him of the night he woke up three years ago.

--

Jiang Shen had already lost his memory as soon as he woke up.

He just opened his eyes that day and didn't make a sound. He only heard the sound of raindrops falling around him. He didn't know who he was or where he was.

The feeling of having a blank mind is very scary.

He knew who he was supposed to be, but he couldn't remember.

"Young man, are you awake?"

Jiang Shen heard a voice other than his own. He followed the sound and finally saw an old man opening the door and coming in.

With the fresh fragrance after the rain.

"Who are you?" Jiang Shen asked.

"I am Yu Baizu, a doctor. You were injured and it was me who saved you." Yu Baizu staggered to Jiang Shen's side, picked up his wrist and began to feel his pulse.

"How do you feel now?"

Jiang Shen felt his body: "Except for the lack of strength, there is nothing left."

"Besides..." Jiang Shen frowned, "I seem to have lost my memory."

"As long as you're not stupid." Yu Baizu smiled and retracted his hand, handing the bowl of medicine he just brought in to Jiang Shen, "Drink this medicine first, and I will tell you later."

Jiang Shen drank the medicine obediently. Yu Baizu looked at Jiang Shen and nodded with satisfaction: "As long as there are no missing arms or legs, I have never set high standards for myself."

Jiang Shen listened and said nothing.

Yu Baizu seemed to be an old man who knew him well. He said: "This is my medicine house. A few days ago, I picked you up by the river on the way to collect medicine. When I came back, I found that there was a worm in your body.

Gu insects, and poison."

Jiang Shen was a little silent.

Fortunately, Jiang Shen is relatively receptive.

"Initially, it seems that your amnesia is caused by this Gu."

Jiang Shen nodded: "So someone wants me to lose my memory."

"That should be the case. You don't have to worry. This poison has no harm except causing you to lose your memory. It might even be able to extend your life and keep you healthy."

"What about the poison?" Jiang Shen asked.

"It's hard to describe this poison. As far as I know, this poison is called 'Yu Ling'. It can stay in the body for two years without symptoms. If there is no antidote after two years, life will be worse than death."

After about a year of torture, I can feel at ease."

"Is there any way to..." remove these two things?

"I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do." Yu Baizu said: "To remove the poison, please go to the person who caused the poison. To remove the poison, please go to the person who caused the poison. I have nothing here."

Jiang Shen nodded: OK.

Yu Baizu looked at Jiang Shen, a little disgusted: "Looking at you like this, you don't even have memory, let alone money. I never treat people for free, so for the next two years, you have to stay here and work for me.

Medicine man, please repay me."

"Medicine man?"

"Yes, it's very simple. Just help me test the medicine," Yu Baizu advised him, "Don't worry, the poison I gave you will be cured naturally."

"Besides... if you have the ability, you can learn a thing or two secretly, and I can pretend you didn't see it."

So Jiang Shen followed Yu Baizu for the next two years.

Of course he also discovered that this old man made money in both black and white ways. He could cure diseases and save people, and he could also make poison to harm people.

Until one afternoon two years later, when Jiang Shen was on his way to help Yu Baizu collect medicine, his "Yu Ling" suddenly broke out.

The bone-gnawing pain immediately swallowed up his sanity.

He wanted to grit his teeth and insist on going back to Yaolu, but he fainted and fell to the ground after taking a few steps.

When he woke up again, he found that his body was safe and sound.

"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me." Yu Baizu waved his hand and handed him a letter on the table, "This is what someone threw over just now. It contains an antidote that can suppress the medicinal properties. I gave it to you.

One pill, so your body is not in big trouble now."

Jiang Shen took the letter and looked at it. There was nothing else in it except three words: "Kill Chen Duan."

Chen Duan, the head of the Chen family of the Jinling family, is over fifty years old. Although he belongs to an aristocratic family, he is not an official.

But the Chen family can be seen in all business transactions in Jinling and even throughout Daqing.

Jiang Shen looked at the letter.

He knew that his lifeline had been strangled by an invisible hand, and now he was a sharp blade in that black hand.

And everything points to one place, Jinling.

--

Early the next morning, Su Changle was woken up by a sweet smell.

She closed her eyes and sniffed the fragrance coming in from outside, and her stomach growled.

She covered her stomach in embarrassment and prepared to go out quietly first to see if there was anything to eat.

But he couldn't bear to leave Jiang Shen.

Su Changle was a little troubled: What if he wakes up and the first person he sees is not me.

Just as Su Changle was thinking, he heard the door gently open.

Su Changle turned around and saw Ah Zhu bringing a bowl of hot porridge.

"Azhu! What is this?"

Azhu smiled and said, "I'm afraid the princess has forgotten that today is Laba Festival. As usual, we have to drink Laba Rice porridge."

"Ah, I forgot, you just happened to be here!" Su Changle stood up, but found that his little finger was still hooked with Jiang Shen's.

Su Changle pursed his lips and calmly let go of his hand.

But……

The moment you let go.
