Chapter 35 Heartbeat
The sound of horses running from far to near, the rapid sound of horse hooves passed through the crowd and reached the front.
Seeing the people around him being coaxed away by the galloping horses, Jiang Nan bit her bun and subconsciously moved aside.
Probably because of traveling all night and flying for too long in the cold environment at high altitude, the injured leg suddenly suffered from an old disease. A heart-pounding pain came from the calf. I wanted to move but couldn't. .
Jiang Nan hissed, and suddenly felt bad as he saw the horse charging towards him.
Damn leg disease, it doesn’t hurt in the morning, it doesn’t hurt in the evening, but it just hurts at this time.
It couldn't be so unlucky that the horse just ran over her, right?
Should she bend down and hold her head?
That would probably make her death worse...
She had only been alive for a few days, and she didn't want to die so soon.
Besides, Ah Jiu hasn’t avenged her yet.
At the critical moment, someone suddenly grabbed her waist, and his strong palms pressed tightly against her front and back from back to front. He held her and turned behind him, and then the two of them jumped back half a foot.
Just as he settled down, the man on horseback passed quickly in front of him, carrying a gust of earth-smelling wind towards him.
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Nan raised his head and saw the clearly frightened eyes of the man in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.
It was not an illusion, she could feel that Xuan Yu was worried about her.
So, she was saved by a hero?
Without time to speak, Xuan Yu suddenly let go of his arms, and then took a long, reproachful breath: "Are the buns so delicious? They were so stupid that they didn't run away even if they saw the horse coming?"
< br>At that moment, Jiang Nan really I was also frightened. I hadn't recovered yet, but I was scolded by him for no reason. I felt even more aggrieved: "I didn't mean not to run. My legs hurt."
The voice was full of resentment. There is no more arrogance than before.
Xuan Yu lowered his eyes and moved his gaze to her injured foot.
Then I remembered that when I landed, I felt that her walking posture was more crooked than before. But I was used to her bumpy walk, so I didn't care whether her leg injury was getting worse.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yu squatted down and reached out to check her leg injury.
Seeing his actions, Jiang Nan couldn't help but take a step back: "What are you doing?"
"What else can you do? Look at your legs."
< br>Xuan Yu's arms paused for a moment, but he continued to move to her feet, holding her ankle with one hand, and casting a spell with his spiritual power to detect with the other hand.
It was obviously the first time he had done this kind of thing, but his movements were both skillful and gentle, which was very different from his previous attitude of being indifferent to men and women, and keeping others at a distance.
After two lifetimes, Jiang Nan was grabbed by the feet for the first time and could not resist.
It’s not that I can’t resist, it’s that my brain can’t react at all whether to resist or not. It’s like being eaten to death all of a sudden and I don’t know how to resist.
And I feel that the two of them are a little close now, and I feel slowly and uneasy, and even my breathing is a little sluggish.
"Does it hurt here?" Xuan Yu probed with spiritual energy all the way.
It was painful at first, but now that he was grabbing her foot with his hand, Jiang Nan could only feel itching: "No, it doesn't hurt anymore."
He was stuttering when he spoke.
Suddenly he felt guilty: "Senior Brother, I'm actually used to it, you don't have to worry about me."
After saying that, he tried to retract his feet, but he never thought that Xuan Yu noticed Her restless movements made her grip tighter: "Don't move. It's here." "Does it hurt?"
Not only did he move gently, but his voice was also softer than ever before. Jiang Nan looked down at his slightly tightened eyebrows and said in a daze: "Yes, a little bit." She is not slow, she is. It can be felt that Xuan Yu treats her with real concern at this moment.
Obviously he should hate her and avoid her.
It was also obvious that there was a blood feud between them, and she hated him so much that she gritted her teeth and was disgusted with his ambiguous behavior.
But... I just couldn't push him away.
Even... a little obsessed.
It shouldn't be addicted.
Jiang Nan told herself in her heart: This person has a grudge against her for hurting her family and destroying herself. She should not be swayed by him, be soft-hearted towards him, or even... be moved by him.
When Jiang Nan realized that she was actually attracted to her enemy, even for just a short moment, she wanted to slap herself.
What a useless thing!
After his mind wandered back, Jiang Nan regained his senses and calmly lifted up his pants and pulled his legs out: "Elder brother, don't look at it, it's much better." The voice was obviously cold.
Worried that he didn't have enough concentration, he quickly changed the subject after speaking: "What happened to that man just now? Why is there a horse running so fast in the busy market?"
Xuan Yu raised his head, and the figure running the horse had long since disappeared.
However, Guigu is a mixed bag, and there are all kinds of people. Just looking at the indifferent reactions of the people on the street just now, you can guess that such a situation is very common, so there is no What should I pursue further?
It was her feet, he always felt like she was forcing them.
“Can I still leave?” Xuan Yu asked.
"It should work. It doesn't hurt that much anymore." Jiang Nan stuffed the uneaten half of the bun into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it: "Where are you going? Looking for an inn? Let's go then."
Unexpectedly, Xuan Yu hesitated for a moment: "I won't look for it now. I'll go again if I can still leave." "Hold on, I'll take you to see your leg injury first."
As early as when he was in Changle Village, Jiang Nan had some doubts in his heart. In the past, Ah Jiu was not favored by his senior brother, even if he changed now. After all, she wasn't so big-faced that she thought Xuan Yu would look down on her.
Although she knows that he is going through a tribulation now, his nature is bound by his destiny, and his character is this way, she still does not believe that there will be someone in this world who will be nice to you for no reason.
I always feel that he must be thinking about something secretly.
"Elder brother, what is the name of the famous doctor we are looking for? Why is this man so strange that he actually stays in a place like Guigu."
Xuan Yu also doesn't know the reason why the famous doctor wants to live here. , but he had some speculations of his own: “Maybe the money here is more expensive than It’s easier to make money.”
“He’s a famous doctor, so he’s still short of money?”
Xuan Yu couldn’t keep up with her thinking: “You eat a lot, too. I don’t see you gaining weight.”
Jiang Nan: “…”
I was ironic for no reason.
“But Senior Brother, don’t you think something is really wrong everywhere here?”
Gui Valley was once the battlefield of the Demon War. Even though there are now traces of human activities again, Jiang Nan always feels that everything here is full of weirdness.
It is clear that the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, but the dark clouds above the head are so dark and heavy, like a thick layer of ghosts that cannot be dispersed, making people breathless.
Looking closely, although many houses have been built in the canyon and there are people there, except for the rubble of the houses, there is almost no living plant, even in the corners of the ground. Not a single green blade of grass.
Just as the rumors said, after the war, all life was devastated and not even a blade of grass could grow.
