His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 123: Long'An - Assasins 2

Lin Jian ordered Xiu when he saw Yao Ying's dazed appearance, "Xiu... chase after that assassin and capture him, but keep him alive!"

Xiu quickly nodded and chased after the assassin.

From the corner of his eyes, Lin Jian still saw Yao Ying's stupefied look.

If Lin Jian saw the abnormality of Yao Ying's state, then the others also noticed it as well --- including Yao Ling. At first, she was in awe with Yao Ying's fighting skills.

It could be seen that it had improved a lot and the way he moved fluidly was no less than Lin Jian and Xiu.

Probably due to her keen eyes, she was able to see a slight falter in Yao Ying's movement and somehow he was in a trance.

He even only dumbly looked at the running assassin.

When she felt that it was already safe, Yao Ling quickly ran to Yao Ying and asked him in concern, "Are you okay?"

Yao Ling's voice forced him out of his trance. Just now... he could distinctly see himself saw the scene where he also fought with assassins -- but he was more skilled than his current self and his skills were actually on par with them.

His expression... was cold and he didn't even flinch when he killed or disposed of the bodies.

He could even see himself as a cruel person in that scene and he shuddered because of that.

'Was that really him? Who was he?' He thought to himself.

After he disposed of the bodies, in a split second... he could hear a woman's voice calling him softly, "Big brother..." When he was going to turn around and tried to see the woman's face, he was woken up by Yao Ling's concerned voice.

Yao Ying blinked his eyes and his sight was blurry for a moment before he could finally make out Yao Ling's face clearly.

He sighed, trying to compose himself, "I'm fine."

Yao Ling saw his bloody hand and startled --- her previous thought of asking him what's wrong was gone with the wind.

His back was facing her when he grabbed onto the enemy's sword, so she didn't know that he was injured.

She quickly took a look at Yao Ying's hand which made the man's heart became warm.

He closed his eyes and decided to just ponder over that scene later.

He looked at the way Yao Ling worried about his hand and smiled dotingly toward the oblivious woman.

Yao Ling quickly told Xiao Yu to bring their gourd and pour the water over the wound to clean it.

She pulled out a medicine bottle from her backpack and sprinkled the powder on his wound before wrapping it with the fabric that she tore from her own gown.

She worked efficiently and it made Lin Jian look at her in a different light.

"Is it painful?" Yao Ling asked the obvious due to her worry.

"It's not anymore," Yao Ying grinned at her.

Lin Jian murmured, "Oh please... the wound isn't that deep!" Why did they give him dog food in broad daylight?

Yao Ling glared at Lin Jian. "Deep or not, it's still painful!"

Yao Ying who was behind Yao Ling grinned at Lin Jian and stuck out his tongue, making the latter's face darkened. 'This brat!' He thought to himself.

He cursed Yao Ying inwardly for being so arrogant!

Before Lin Jian could scold him, Xiu was back with the assassin.
