Chapter 236 The Miao Youth is a Proud Male Supporting Character (3)
The dilapidated temple stands quietly in the wilderness. The incense of the past has long ceased, leaving only the ruins that are crumbling under the erosion of time.
This was once a place where villagers prayed, but now it has become a forgotten corner.
Lin Shen was lying behind the temple, surrounded by broken bricks and tiles and overgrown weeds.
He still held the broken arrow in his hand, and the venom on the arrowhead was flashing a faint blue light in the moonlight.
Although Lin Shen was immune to all poisons, his wounds were still bleeding, staining the surrounding snow red.
Xiaobai circled around Lin Shen worriedly, licking Lin Shen's cheek from time to time, trying to wake him up.
Lin Shen turned his head with difficulty and looked at Xiao Bai, forcing a smile: "Xiao Bai, you're back?"
Xiaobai seemed to understand what his master said, and rubbed Lin Shen with his head obediently. The itchy feeling made Lin Shen couldn't help but smile.
003 ran out of Lin Shen's consciousness worriedly and asked, "Host, are you okay?"
Lin Shen nodded with difficulty: "Fortunately, I won't die." 003 looked at Lin Shen silently and stopped talking.
The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier. The cold wind whistled through the ruined temple and blew the snowflakes into Lin Shen's mouth. The cold touch made him instantly sober.
He listened quietly to the noise outside, wondering whether the person coming was the male protagonist Su Hebei.
003 said excitedly: "Host, the hero is here, we are saved." Lin Shen smiled.
On the other hand, Su Hebei has always been thinking about Lin Shen since he separated from him.
When he returned home, he was always uneasy and Lin Shen's figure kept appearing in his mind.
No matter what he did, he always thought of Lin Shen. Absent-mindedly, he always wondered what Lin Shen was doing and whether he thought of him.
Missing him made him understand his feelings better. The old man said that his mind was not here and asked him to find his heart back.
So, he resolutely went down the mountain. But when he got down the mountain, he found that he didn't know where Lin Shen was. He hadn't told him. He only knew that he was from the Miaojiang tribe.
Su Hebei came to the largest restaurant in Qingzhou to inquire about Lin Shen's news.
Everyone in the restaurant was talking about a person that a mysterious big shot was looking for, which made Su Hebei very nervous. He always felt that the person was related to Lin Shen.
After some inquiries, he learned that a handsome young man had disappeared overnight in the restaurant, and he firmly believed that the man was Lin Shen.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Suhebei became more and more anxious.
He didn't know what dangers Lin Shen would encounter. How would he deal with this kind of weather? Su Hebei trudged forward in the snow until he came to this deserted place and found this dilapidated temple.
He walked into the temple, which was covered in blood and was shocking.
He quickened his pace, looking inside expectantly. There was a dark shadow, and he had merged into the darkness, so he could not be seen unless one looked carefully.
The man had his back to him, his clothes were torn, and his heart was beating fast.
Lin Shen heard footsteps, turned around, and the two men looked at each other.
Su Hebei saw the boy's face, a blood-stained face, with messy long hair casually scattered on the grass.
Seeing Lin Shen's pale face, Su Hebei felt distressed and rushed forward to hold the boy in his arms. However, he had too many wounds on his body and his hands were shaking so he dared not move.
Lin Shen smiled, "You're here."
Su Hebei frowned and nodded, his voice choked in his throat and he couldn't speak, he felt heartbroken.
"I have a hemostatic pill in my pocket, feed me one." Lin Shen said softly.
Su Hebei did not search Lin Shen's pockets, but took out a bottle of pills from his collar and fed it to Lin Shen.
"I'm sorry." Su Hebei's voice was so soft that it was almost covered by the wind and snow, but Lin Shen still heard it.
His ears twitched slightly and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He took the pill that Su Hebei fed him, and the medicinal power slowly took effect in his body, but his face was still full of confusion.
Su Hebei did not explain why he apologized. He only knew that Lin Shen was seriously injured because he did not show up in time.
His heart was filled with self-blame. If he had followed Lin Shen, if he had gone down the mountain earlier, if he had found Lin Shen earlier... then perhaps none of this would have happened.
"Let's go. It will be bad if they find me." Lin Shen reminded. Although his voice was weak, the urgency in his tone brought Su Hebei back to his senses.
Su Hebei's voice was a little choked. He tried to stay calm and asked softly, "Can I pick you up?"
Lin Shen nodded, a hint of smile in his eyes: "Okay."
Su Hebei first took off his coat and carefully put it on Lin Shen, wanting to protect him from the cold.
Then, he gently held Lin Shen in his arms. Lin Shen was too light, and the wounds on his body shocked him. Even through the black clothes, he could see those wounds.
He didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting Lin Shen, and could only hug the boy gently.
Su Hebei carried Lin Shen out of the dilapidated temple and helped him gather his clothes to prevent the cold wind from invading.
He walked step by step, and although the snow was difficult to walk on, he took each step firmly and carefully.
Lin Shen felt Su Hebei's care and concern, and the worries in his heart gradually subsided. The sense of security made him slowly relax his tense body.
As sleepiness came over him, he slowly closed his eyes.
Su Hebei watched the person in his arms gradually fall asleep, feeling both pain and pity in his heart.
He gently held Lin Shen's hand, as if this could give him more strength and warmth.
Su Hebei's eyes were full of determination. He swore that no matter what, he would protect Lin Shen and never let him come to any harm again.
In the wind and snow, their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the snow, leaving only a series of deep footprints to witness their departure.
☆
Su Hebei carefully held Lin Shen in his arms and set out on the road up the mountain.
It was late at night, and the cold wind in the mountains was as sharp as a knife, but he had only one thought in his mind: to save Lin Shen.
When they reached the top of the mountain, the old man was already asleep.
Su Hebei brought Lin Shen back to his room quietly. He placed Lin Shen gently on the bed. With the dim candlelight, he saw that Lin Shen's bleeding had stopped. His black clothes could not tell how much blood had been shed, but his nose was filled with the strong smell of blood.
This silently tells how badly the boy was hurt.
Su Hebei's gaze shifted to Xiaobai, who was lying obediently beside Lin Shen's head. The whole snake looked listless, obviously worried about its owner's safety.
Seeing this scene, Su Hebei's heart was even more clenched.
Lin Shen’s injury could not be delayed any longer, and Su Hebei knew that he had to take action immediately.
He hurried out of the room to wake the old man up.
The gray-haired old man was awakened by the sudden shaking. He looked at Su Hebei with sleepy eyes, confused: "Didn't you go down the mountain? Why are you back so soon?"
Su Hebei didn't have time to explain. He grabbed the white-haired old man and said anxiously, "Old man, go and have a look. He's seriously injured."
Before the white-haired old man could react, Su Hebei half-dragged and half-pulled him to his room.
The door opened, and under the dim light, a figure was lying on the bed.
The white-haired old man saw Lin Shen at a glance. He immediately shook off his sleepiness, walked quickly to the bedside, and began to check Lin Shen's injuries.
Su Hebei stood nervously by the side, watching the old man's expression becoming more and more serious.
He knew that Lin Shen's injuries were more serious than he had imagined, but now, they could only rely on the old man's medical skills, hoping that he could save Lin Shen's life.
