Chapter 417 Half Dead
From this day on, Xie Changqing and Sha Lan met by chance every day.

He went into town, and so did Shallan.

He goes on the road, and so does Shallan.

Xie Changqing sometimes suspected that this woman was some kind of monster, and she could actually follow him like a shadow.

Sometimes I also thought that maybe it was because of the bad weather and road conditions. Because the road was not good and it was hard to walk fast, Shalan, a weak woman, was able to keep up with him in a bullock cart.

If the road were better——

The accompanying soldiers discovered a few days later that the woman they often met by chance was Shalan's.

They were even more shocked than Xie Changqing. If Xie Changqing hadn't looked so cold and frightening, they would have really wanted to go up and ask this woman how she did it.

At this moment, because we had not reached the county seat, everyone could only stop in a dilapidated temple to take shelter from the wind and rain.

As soon as Xie Changqing entered, he occupied the best place and asked people to make a fire to warm themselves and rest.

Shallan and the old man driving the bullock cart could only barely take shelter from the wind and rain in a damp corner.

Xie Changqing closed his eyes to rest and heard the old man's flattering voice.

"Girl, are you cold?"

"Old man, let me put the clothes on for you."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not cold."

"Come and eat something...drink some water...I'll ask these people for firewood later..."

"Your clothes are a little damp. Take them off and let me dry them for you."

Shallan never said a word.

The old man seemed to think she was mute, and kept talking without Shalan's reply.

Xie Changqing felt upset and angry when he heard that voice, especially when he talked about taking off his clothes, the old man smiled obscenely twice, which made Xie Changqing feel a murderous intention in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of the old man eating came.

Xie Changqing felt even more irritated and looked over coldly.

This look was so murderous that the old man froze in place with fear and did not dare to chew anymore. He hesitated and hid outside.

Before going out, he wanted to drag Shalan out with him.

But Xie Changqing's glance was still powerful, and the strong men with swords around him seemed to be staring at him with fierce eyes.

Lao Hen hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to pull her away and went out alone.

One of the soldiers couldn't stand it any longer, so he bravely came up to Xie Changqing and lowered his voice and said, "General, she seems to be sick. Do we really not care?"

Xie Changqing sneered: "She is very capable! Does she need us to take care of her?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment: "But she is pregnant, if something happens..."

"..."

Xie Changqing froze for a moment, his eyes falling coldly on Shalan.

Shallan sat on the damp ground, leaning against a broken pillar, her head tilted to one side, motionless as if dead.

Xie Changqing subconsciously listened to her voice and found that it was almost inaudible.

Xie Changqing gritted his teeth, suppressed his urge to step forward to check, and said ruthlessly: "She is looking for death!"

The soldier knew that he could not be persuaded, so he sighed secretly and retreated, thinking that he would get some hot food later and send it over for the woman to eat.

This general will never stop him.

The porridge was cooked in a short while. When they came out, they knew that the weather was bad, so they brought plenty of things, including a lot of dried meat, which was used to cook the porridge.

It's hot and fragrant.

The old man hiding in the corner outside was shivering. He swallowed hard when he smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but poke his head in.

A strong fragrance hits my face.The old man's eyes widened as he looked at the strong man standing in front of him, holding a clean earthen jar in his hand and stuffing it in front of him. The jar was full of meat porridge.

The old man immediately drooled, "This, this, uncle, what does this mean?"

"It's fate that we're traveling together all the way. Seeing that you don't have anything to eat, I'll give you some."

The man handed the porridge to the old man again and said, "Take it."

The old man was so flattered that he couldn't believe it. After staying for a long time, he was sure that it was really a free gift, and then he hurriedly took it.

Before the man delivering the porridge could tell him to give it to the woman inside, the old man drank it all himself.

The soldier who delivered the porridge had a slightly green face and said in a cold voice: "Don't the girls inside drink it?"

"This, this..." the old man stammered, "She hasn't eaten well for several days. Uncle, please give me another bowl!"

"For the sake of you being so pitiful, okay, you can go wash the jar and fill it yourself."

The old man nodded repeatedly, found a puddle outside, washed the jars indiscriminately, and then entered the ruined temple. However, it was obvious that he was afraid of Xie Changqing, who was sitting at the farthest end, and he did not dare to step forward to serve the porridge.

The soldier looked at it coldly, then took a clean porcelain bowl, filled it with a bowl of porridge and handed it to him.

The old man nodded and thanked her profusely, and brought the porridge to Shalan, "Girl, wake up, have some porridge, girl."

The woman didn't respond.

The old man called her in a low voice, shouting, and touched the woman's tightly raised collar erratically.

He held his breath and called the girl softly. The yellow and black skin fell on the girl's silver skin, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Just when he wanted to go further, a strong kick suddenly hit his face.

The old man was kicked out and landed with a thud outside the ruined temple on a rainy night, motionless.

Xie Changqing knelt down and looked at Shalan whose breath was almost imperceptible. He frowned for a long time, picked her up and brought her to his fire.

The few soldiers who followed him all breathed a sigh of relief.

finally!Finally took action.

God knows if Xie Changqing doesn't take action anymore, they won't be able to bear it anymore.

Xie Changqing raised his hand, and the soldiers immediately set up a shelf around him sensibly, picked up the clothes to change and hung them on the shelf, and soon created a space enclosed on all sides for Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing hugged the woman's body, which was as cold as ice, tore off her coarse clothes and linen headscarf and threw them into the fire. Then he took his own robe and wrapped Shalan.

Xie Changqing said: "Water."

Someone immediately sent a water bag outside. Xie Changqing held Shalan in his arms with one hand and fed her some with the water bag.

Shalan didn't swallow any of it, and it all flowed down the corners of her lips.

Xie Changqing patiently fed him again, but it was still the same as before.

He frowned and was about to throw her aside, but suddenly stopped all movements and his eyes fell on his legs.

He was wearing a light-colored robe today, and there was a dark blood stain on the robe - this woman's blood.

she was--

Xie Changqing couldn't care less about the quarrel with herself, and immediately pulled off the clothes she had just wrapped herself in to check where she was injured. When she found the injury, Xie Changqing's face changed drastically.

She has a stomach problem.

But there is no doctor here!

Xie Changqing gritted his teeth for a moment, then immediately wrapped her tightly in a fur cloak, stood up and walked out with her in his arms.

The soldier was puzzled: "General, this is——"

"Let's go and find the doctor!"
