Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 9
Chu Ning lay down on the ground relaxed, and gradually fell into a coma, but after the coma, she vaguely felt that he put his wrist next to her mouth again, forcing her to drink the warm liquid.

"A-Ning, live on." Someone whispered in her ear.

"No..." She protested weakly with her remaining consciousness.

After a long time, she was embraced by someone, and the man's breath gradually weakened.

When Chuning woke up, she found herself lying in a tent, the heavy dryness in her throat had faded away, she moved her fingers, and a mist appeared in her eyes.

She didn't die... Then, where is Xie Ziyu?

"Are you awake?" The curtain was lifted, and a strange male voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Ning turned his head and looked towards the door. It was a young man with handsome features and extraordinary bearing. He was dressed in a green shirt and held a bowl of porridge in his hand.

"It was you who saved me?" Chuning sat up, his voice still hoarse and weak.

"It's your fate. Our caravan happened to pass by and rescued you. Mu Han, I don't know the girl's name. Why are you here disguised as a man?" The man asked with a slight smile.

Chuning's eyes flickered, and he recognized himself as a woman disguised as a man, a caravan?What kind of caravan would choose to go through the desert of death?
"Little girl Ning Chuchu, Mr. Mu's life-saving grace, the little girl will always remember it in her heart. I don't know where my husband is? He is weaker than me, so is his life in danger?" A real worry appeared in Chuning's eyes.

Mu Han smiled: "It turns out that he is the girl's husband. No wonder he would use his own blood to fight for the girl's life. He suffered too much. He hasn't woken up yet, but his life is not in danger."

"Where is he? I want to go and see him." Hearing this, Chuning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"He's right next door, girl, drink the porridge first, and then she can stay by his side when she has strength." Mu Han handed the bowl in his hand to Chuning, and said softly.

Chuning gratefully accepted it.

After finishing the porridge, Chu Ning, accompanied by Mu Han, went to the tent next door. As soon as she entered, she saw Xie Ziyu lying quietly on the bed. His face was pale without a trace of blood. Live.

Chu Ning remembered that he fed her blood while he was in a coma. It turned out that he had lied to her by saying that he wanted her to live.Tears welled up in Chu Ning's eyes, she stepped forward, sat beside him, held his hand, and called softly, "Husband..."

Her concern was true, and her tears were also true. Seeing this, Mu Han asked aloud, "I heard that Miss Ning's accent is from Dayu, so why did she appear in the desert?"

"To tell you the truth, my husband and I originally ran a small tavern in Qucheng. The little girl had a secret disease in her urine since she was a child, and she had a severe attack recently. After seeing many doctors, she still didn't recover. I heard that there was a ghost doctor in North Vietnam who was very skilled in medicine. My husband rescued her." I was eager, so I thought about taking a shortcut from the desert to find a ghost doctor to treat me, but I didn't expect not only to lose my way, but also to encounter a sandstorm..." Chuning's words were seven parts true and three parts false, but there was no flaw.

"I see." Mu Han nodded, "I've heard of this ghost doctor. It is said that he lives on Huolian Mountain, only three hundred miles away from here. When the girl's husband wakes up, we might as well go and have a look."

"Really?" There was a gleam in Chuning's eyes.

"I've only heard it, but I'm not sure. Although Beiyue is not as rich as Dayu, looking for a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's better to have a clue than to search blindly."

"Young Master Mu is right." Chuning nodded.

"Our caravan will leave tomorrow. If Miss Ning doesn't mind, we can take you another way."

"Then Chu Chu thanked you in advance." Chu Ning said gratefully, bowing to Mu Han.

It wasn't until two days later that Xie Ziyu woke up. At that time, the caravan was resting in a forest. Chuning was washing his face by the river. Mu Han's maid came to inform her immediately.

Chu Ning walked back to the carriage quickly, opened the curtain, and saw Xie Ziyu half-sitting, his face was still pale, but he was much better than before. Chuning looked at him, remembering the hardships of the journey, but fortunately he survived, Now both of them are alive and well, which is better than anything else.

"Ma'am?" Xie Ziyu bent his lips, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a trace of teasing in his eyes.

Chu Ning's ears turned red suddenly, presumably someone had slipped his tongue in front of him when he woke up, she got into the carriage, lowered the sedan chair curtain, and said in a voice full of joy and relief, "My husband is fine, I am relieved."

"Let Madam worry."

The two of them spoke carefully about their husband and wife, their voices were a little soft, but people outside the carriage could vaguely hear some of them.

Inside the carriage, Chuning wrote on Xie Ziyu's hand, and told Xie Ziyu everything about her situation after waking up. For example, Mu Han is from Xiling, he runs businesses in various countries, and often travels around with the caravan; For example, Mu Han’s destination was Cangdu, the capital of North Vietnam; for example, she didn’t believe that Mu Han was just an ordinary caravan leader, even though he was their savior, but for safety’s sake, she changed her name immediately , to hide the identities of the two, but fortunately they have been wearing masks, otherwise she was really worried that someone would recognize Xie Ziyu.

The two chatted in the carriage for a long time. After Xie Ziyu learned about the situation, he leaned against the wall of the carriage without speaking, and looked at Chuning quietly with his phoenix eyes.

Chu Ning felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, and was about to speak, but he heard him sigh softly: "It's great to be able to live with you."

That very light sentence made Chuning's heart slightly shaken. She remembered that they supported each other along the way, and it was really not easy to escape from death several times.

"If you survive a catastrophe, there will be future blessings." Chu Ning blinked and said with a smile.

"Yes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings." Xie Ziyu smiled slightly, looking at Chuning thoughtfully, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Two days later, the caravan stopped at a fork in the road. Mu Han got off his horse, walked to the carriage of Chu Ning and Xie Ziyu, and said, "Brother Yisu, Miss Ning, Huolian Mountain is less than ten miles away from here. Sent here."

Xie Ziyu and Chuning got off the carriage one after another. Xie Ziyu looked at Mu Han and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu. If Brother Mu comes to Qucheng in the future, I will definitely buy Brother Mu a drink."

"Okay." Mu Han nodded with a smile.

The two watched Mu Han's caravan slowly go away, until they faded out of sight, Chuning finally felt relieved, sighed lightly, and said, "It doesn't matter who they are, as long as they don't want to kill us."

Xie Ziyu smiled slightly, and said: "Madam, don't worry, now that we are fully recovered from our injuries, even if someone hunts us down, we don't need to be exhausted anymore."

Chu Ning glared at him. For the past two days, he has been yelling at Ma'am, Ma'am, taking advantage of her!

Xie Ziyu was full of smiles, not knowing what "taking advantage" was.

Chuning had no choice but to ignore him and walked towards Huolian Mountain.

"Hey, ma'am, wait for your husband..." Xie Ziyu followed behind unhurriedly, occasionally teasing Chuning again.

There is a small town at the foot of Huolian Mountain, perhaps because it is closer to Cangdu. There are many people in this small town, and the streets are also very lively. As soon as Xie Ziyu arrived in the town, he took off the mask and touched it. With a mask as thin as a cicada's wings, he smiled and said, "Your mask is not bad. It has been so long that no one has seen through it."

"Then why did you pick it? Are you afraid that the enemy will come to you again?"

"Now you and I are all fine, what are you afraid of?" He smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a look of disdain between his brows, that posture was completely natural.

Chu Ning was slightly taken aback, as expected of Xie Ziyu, even though she lost her memory, some things were still deeply rooted in her bones, she shrugged and didn't say anything, he just picked them off as he liked.

The two quickly inquired about the entrance of Huolian Mountain.

Huolian Mountain towered into the clouds, majestic and majestic. Now that it was at the foot of the mountain, Chuning was not in a hurry, and walked up slowly with Xie Ziyu.

Busy running for their lives along the way, the two of them have never had such a leisurely moment. Chuning is in a good mood. Enjoy the moment.

It took them half a day to reach the top of the mountain.There was a flat land on the top of the mountain. As soon as the two stepped on the flat land, they stopped at the same time—the house in front of them was charred and black, which was obviously left by the fire, and it had been burned for a while.

"Is the ghost doctor gone?" Chuning frowned.

"Let's search separately, maybe we can find clues." Xie Ziyu suggested.

Chu Ning nodded, and walked along the side path. After a few steps, she stopped, and her eyes stayed on the short grave. The stone tablet in front of the grave reads—Ghost Doctor's Tomb, right "Anonymous Standing" is written below.

Judging by the appearance of the tombstone, it has been a while.

Chu Tran looked at the tombstone quietly. The death of the ghost doctor means that the antidote for rejuvenation is gone, which means that she will not survive this year.

But at this moment, she is surprisingly calm. Perhaps only when people still have a choice, they will be in pain and restlessness. Once the outcome is determined, it is easy to accept their fate.

Xie Ziyu stood behind her, her thin body revealed a faint sense of despair, his hand moved slightly, trying to reach out to hold her shoulder, but he didn't do it after all.

After an unknown amount of time, Chuning suddenly turned around, smiled at Xie Ziyu, and said, "Let's go down the mountain."
