Chapter 1255: Chapter 1261: Who is He (2)
After the man left, the room beca bustling, and the bandits’ wailing echoed back and forth, “Ah, my arm… Oh, my nose…”
“Oh, brave sir, we know our mistake now, we won’t dare again… Oh…”
“…Please spare our lives…”
Outside, the rain had been falling for a long ti and was getting heavier. Xiang Yun was already drenched, and by now it was nearly November. The chilly autumn rain was bone-chilling, and she hugged her knees, shivering and chattering her teeth, nearly reaching her breaking point.
Why hadn’t he co back yet? Had he forgotten her? Xiang Yun waited in agony, and just as she was about to faint, that dark figure leaped up again, landing opposite her and softly said, “All right, everything’s taken care of. I’ll take you down!”
“Wuuu…”
Seeing the man, Xiang Yun cried tears of joy, extended her trembling, chattering hand, and sobbed, “I thought… you had… forgotten … Wuuu…”
Seeing her childlike appearance, the man couldn’t help but smile and reached out his hand, “Here I am, right?” But as soon as he touched her, his smile instantly vanished, and he frowned, looking down at her, “Are you running a fever?”
Xiang Yun shook her head and forced a smile, “I’m not…”
She didn’t finish her word when her head tilted, and she fainted into the man’s arms…
The man quickly caught her and swiftly jumped down from the roof, rushing into the room.
In the courtyard, sixteen bandits, tied up tight like rice dumplings, were thrown into the rain. They scread loudly, so minus an arm, so a leg, others a nose; blood from their wounds mixed with the rain, quickly staining the entire courtyard red…
The man laid the unconscious Xiang Yun on the kang and went to the outer room to find her maid, but unfortunately, the maid had already been knocked out. He checked the other rooms, and the servants inside, not knowing what confusion drug they had been given, had also fainted.
After making a round with no one awake to be found, he returned to Xiang Yun’s room, touched her forehead with his hand, found her even hotter than before, and her body still trembling, her teeth chattering.
If he didn’t remove her cold, wet clothes, her illness would worsen, the man anguished for a mont, then finally made up his mind. He picked up Xiang Yun, took her to the bed in the Eastern Room, and started removing her cold, damp dress. He found a dry towel, dried her body, and changed her into clean clothes…
In her daze, Xiang Yun wasn’t entirely asleep. She felt soone undressing her, wiping her body, and changing her into dry, comfortable clothes. She humd contently a few tis and was then tucked into a warm blanket…
…
The next day, Xiang Yun awoke amid an excruciating headache.
As she opened her eyes, the sun outside was already high. She rubbed the center of her brow and suddenly rembered the previous night’s events, and impulsively sat up. She imdiately felt dizzy and faint. Xiang Yun closed her eyes and rested for a mont, and the events of last night replayed in her mind like a movie.
Last night, bandits had invaded the manor; she was surrounded by bad guys, and just as she was about to be insulted, a man had saved her, taken her to the roof, and then she was soaked by rain and fainted…
In her haze, it seed like it was he who had… changed her clothes and wiped her body…
