GBP Chapter 217 His Arrival
Chapter 217 His Arrival
After being scolded, Ying Yong pouted and left. He came here to work, and it was not right for him to dawdle here, so he had to leave, looking back every few steps.
Xie Mingce gave Qin Shuxue a few more instructions and went to build the house.
Although there were not enough people, it would take ten days or half a month to continue like this, but there was nothing they could do. Qin Shuxue suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Few people in this small village could afford to ride a horse, so she looked up curiously. At first glance, she didn't recognize the person. The face was covered with scars, which looked very scary. Even for her who had fought before, it was hard to look at it, but she recognized that it was a burn scar because she had seen it in a fight.
Until Shan Yuyi's voice came from behind him: "Hengli, this way."
Is that Heng Li? Qin Shuxue couldn't believe her eyes. Who could hurt him like this? The scars were obviously all over his body, extending from the exposed skin to the tightly wrapped clothes. Qin Shuxue didn't know how Heng Li became like this. She thought it must have happened during the sect competition.
She looked at Hengli without blinking her eyes. She had promised to protect her brother, but now he was hurt so badly by someone unknown. She could hardly control her emotions and kept following Hengli's lead, like a sunflower chasing the sun.
She looked at Heng Li, but Ying Yong was looking at her. He thought she was frightened by the man's injury, so he quickly came over to pull her: "He is just injured. Don't look at him. I know he looks very scary. Let me tell him to stay away from you and not show up in front of you. I will protect him for you. Don't be afraid. Look at me. If you don't look at him, you won't be afraid."
Heng Li noticed Ying Yong and the little girl pulling each other. He glanced at Qin Shuxue and suddenly his pupils dilated.
This is Qin Shuxue, there is no mistake. Although she no longer looks the same, he will never mistake her familiar look. This is definitely Qin Shuxue. Although he doesn't know which village Qin Shuxue went to later, since he saw her, he will never mistake her.
He looked at the people behind him. Xie Mingce was also working. He turned his gaze back to Ying Yong and said, "Why are you holding on to a village girl so tightly? Let go quickly and stop pulling and do your work."
Obviously, once Heng Li came, Ying Yong no longer had the right to issue orders, so he honestly let go of his hand. But he was always very tough in front of Heng Li: "Why? Are you interested in her again? There's no need for us to always focus on the same person. I won't give it to you this time."
Mentally retarded? Heng Li stretched out his hand while sitting on the horse and hit Ying Yong, pointing to the distance and said, "Go back to work, don't bother with these nonsense." He pulled the reins of the horse and walked past the two of them.
Qin Shuxue didn't dare to look at it anymore, or else Ying Yong would definitely see through her. She answered randomly, "Well... I've never seen such an injury before, it's so scary, a little bit inhuman... Ah, that's not what I meant. It's not easy to heal such a serious injury..."
She was in a state of confusion. Did Heng Li recognize her? Did he know that she had become like this? If he knew, would he hate her for who she was now? Would he still protect this person who had changed her name and body and was completely different from Qin Shuxue? Could she still go back to the village with him, or go anywhere else?
Now is not the time to think about these things. Qin Shuxue shook her head. Who hurt Heng Li? In her opinion, this wound would definitely not heal within ten days or half a month. His whole body was burned by fire. It would be better to say how he survived by willpower at that time? Qin Shuxue wanted to use a formation for him, but there were so many people around, so she could only pretend that she didn't know Heng Li.
Heng Li had searched everywhere for Jing Hanrou for her, and would kill anyone he saw; now Qin Shuxue could do nothing for him. She clenched her fists, she must know who hurt him, must avenge him, must make all these people die miserably, not only for herself, but also to repay his kindness.
She suppressed her trembling and asked, "How could he be so badly injured? You monks are in danger."
Ying Yong thought about it and felt ashamed to say that he was tripped up by Jing Hanrou's matter at that time, otherwise he would have taken action if Qin Shuxue got into trouble on the stage. He whispered, "You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, it's a matter between sects. He was framed by another sect for some reasons... That's about it."
Seeing that Ying Yong also knew nothing, Qin Shuxue gave up asking further questions and just kicked the stones on the ground with her feet: "Well... I'm leaving first."
She returned to the room where everyone was, and finally couldn't help crying. Everyone was crying, and she didn't seem out of place at all. She felt more wronged. She was injured, and when she opened her eyes again, she was in this place. She didn't know how everyone was doing, nor did she know what the situation was. She hoped that Hengli could suddenly appear beside her like before and tell her that everything was fine. People are always weak in front of acquaintances, but Qin Shuxue couldn't really stand in front of Hengli and cry, so she could only feel sad like this.
She cried until she was tired and fell asleep. She was not called until dinner. Qin Shuxue was arranged to sit at Xie Mingce's table, next to him. There was an empty seat next to her. Heng Li came over with a bowl of rice, interrupting Ying Yong's idea of sitting next to her.
The people at this table worked hard during the day, so the food was better than that at other tables. But although it was better, it was not much better, just a little more minced meat. There was nothing good to eat at this time of year, because Xie Mingce was his uncle, and Qin Shuxue was lucky enough to eat this better food.
But she had no appetite at all. Heng Li had a cold face and did not take off his clothes even though he was sweating a lot. There were already several men in the village with their shirts off. Ying Yong was obviously very hot, but he had gone to take a cold shower somewhere else before, so he came late and now sat here obediently. The sweat on Heng Li's forehead was almost dripping into the bowl. Qin Shuxue raised her head and subconsciously wiped it for him, but Heng Li dodged by tilting his head.
Everyone at the table looked at the two of them. Heng Li frowned and squinted his eyes, obviously unhappy. He didn't say anything for a long time, but just sat a little further away from Qin Shuxue. Seeing this, Xie Mingce immediately said, "Yun Qiong, what are you doing? They are tired all day, don't disturb them."
Qin Shuxue said aggrievedly: "I see that this young master is very tired, so I want to wipe his sweat off. Otherwise, if the sweat falls into the bowl, wouldn't the rice be salty..."
Hengli didn't say anything. He wasn't good at talking to strangers. He shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary. But Ying Yong was not happy. Why did the girls like Hengli one after another? He shouted, "I am sweating too. Can you wipe it for me?"
