Where’d My Delicate Little Wife Go?

When Xie Yunnan saw the person in front of him clearly, his mind went blank for a moment.

This person looks really good.

But the pause only lasted a moment before he immediately embraced the man and dragged him to the shore.

Before, he thought it was a corpse, so he wanted to use his pants to bind him. But if it was a living person, he wouldn’t need those pants.

People generally think that a person’s combat effectiveness depends on what kind of companion beast he has.

If the companion beast is weak, the person is destined to be weak.

Xie Yunnan’s companion beast is a dog, and its combat effectiveness is not bad. But no one knew what was going on, his companion beast has never grown up and maintained the same appearance since childhood… So in the eyes of the everyone around him, he’s also similarly incompetent.

However, he does not believe this, and has continually exercised, so his physical fitness is actually very good.

He brought the man to shore with ease.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that this person is very thin, is almost weightless, and even motionless.

“Are you okay?” Xie Yunnan asked immediately after pulling the man to the shore.

The man lay on the beach, looked at Xie Yunnan again, and then closed his eyes.

…Fainted?

Only then did Xie Yunnan see the physical condition of the person he rescued. He inhaled sharply.

This person is very good-looking, but he is as thin as a matchstick. Even if his arms and legs are swollen from being soaked in the water, they are still sickly thin, with only a layer of skin on the bones.

This wasn’t all. The man was only wearing a pair of underwear and a white, nearly transparent robe-style pajamas, so he could see the numerous wounds and bruises on his body.

Across this person’s whole body, only his face is intact, revealing his exquisite facial features.

This is a great beauty who was abused and thrown into the river…

Xie Yunnan secretly cursed a few words.

This situation… These nobles in the Holy City, are they really human?

Don’t know if this person was thrown into the river or if he jumped into the river himself.

Numerous thoughts flitted through Xie Yunnan’s head at that moment. Seeing the man faint, he immediately wrapped him in his clean clothes, picked him up, and walked to the town.

He was really unlucky today. The wound on his shoulder was bandaged with medicine before and stopped bleeding, but it opened again.

As he neared town, after thinking about it, Xie Yunnan decided to use the path to the back door instead.

Few people live in the fringe area. Their so-called small town is actually only one street long.

As for the houses on the street, everyone bought the land, and they built it up themselves. Two-storey, three-storey, four-storey, homes of different styles and heights lined the streets. Those who can’t afford to build a house will rummage through the junkyard, and find some material to build a shelter on an unclaimed piece of land near the town that can protect them from wind and rain.

Generally speaking, abandoned cars are the most popular. An ordinary car can be transformed into a small shack that can sleep two people and shelter from the wind and rain. Because vehicles are not attached to the ground, there is no need to worry about heavy rain and flooding.

There is a lot of rain here, and no proper drainage system in the fringes. It is common for homes to be flooded. Of course, the water is not that deep.

The dirty and messy shacks are called ghettos.

There is no ghetto behind Xie Yunnan’s house. Instead, a plantation surrounded by a circle of bamboo as a guardrail is out back.

The bamboo is very small, and the bamboo shoots are also very bitter, so no one will go and dig it up.  Over time, more bamboo grew, and it occupied a large area.

Xie Yunnan walked through the bamboo forest and brought the injured person home.

The identity of this person is a mystery, and he may be in trouble if someone finds out… the decision was made subconsciously. When he got home, he didn’t change his clothes, and hurriedly went to the clinic in the corner of the town and found the only doctor in their town. Doctor Hu.

“Uncle Hu, I picked up a man from the river. He is covered in bruises and injuries…” Xie Yunnan whispered about the man he rescued.

Dr. Hu didn’t have any other patients at the moment, so after listening to Xie Yunnan, he packed up some medicine, and gave Xie Yunnan a tube of medicine as well. “The injury on your shoulder, take care of it!”

“Hehe.” Xie Yunnan smiled wryly and started to deal with the wound on his shoulder.

The two soon arrived at Xie Yunnan’s house, and Dr. Hu gave the stranger a brief diagnosis and treatment. “It’s a miracle that he is alive. How thin is he, and still injured… Yunnan, I have few things to treat trauma, but I don’t know if he has any other diseases. In fact, it’s best to send him to the hospital… But without knowing his identity, sending him to the hospital might not be a good idea.”

Hearing Dr. Hu’s heartfelt words, Xie Yunnan replied: “Uncle Hu, can you treat his trauma first?”

This man was so thin, and even fell into the water. He didn’t know what crime he was guilty of.

What if he’s arrested again after being sent to the hospital?

Dr. Hu got a hanging bottle to hang saline for this man. “This is an anti-inflammatory. You can change his clothes and wipe it on later…”

After explaining, Dr. Hu left some medicine and left.

Xie Yunnan waited for Dr. Hu to leave before applying medicine to the person lying on the bed.

Fortunately, it’s summer now, otherwise this person would have fallen ill from soaking in the cold water for so long… Xie Yunnan took off this person’s clothes and couldn’t help but sigh.

This man has so many injuries. It’s really tragic!

Growing up in a fringe area, Xie Yunnan is not someone who doesn’t understand anything. He knows that some people in this world have special hobbies and like to abuse others.

He felt that the person in front of him was most likely treated like this.

Xie Yunnan likes men, but even he doesn’t have any ideas seeing this man who was so thin that he was basically a handful of bones wrapped in skin.

He cleaned the man’s wound with disinfectant, applied medicine, and found a clean sheet to cover him… When he was finished, t was noon, and he was hungry.

Xie Yunnan went downstairs, ready to open the store and buy some food nearby.

He usually buys breakfast and cooks for himself at noon and at night to save some money.

But today he was too hungry to cook, so he went to a nearby stall and bought chicken rice.

The so-called chicken rice is actually a big meal, topped with potatoes and stewed chicken, for a total of 20 yuan.

Xie Yunnan took his own bowl and filled it with rice, and when he came back, he cooked congee with a rice cooker while eating.

After eating, Xie Yunnan went to see the patient again.

The man lay motionless. If it wasn’t for the slight ups and downs of his chest, people would think he was dead.

Death is common in the fringe area, and Xie Yunnan can only do his best to abide by fate.

After busying for a long time with his injury, Xie Yunnan still opened the shop.

His auto repair shop has a wide variety of clients.

Those who work in the fringe area and those with better conditions in the fringe area will come to him to repair motorcycles or cars. In addition, mercenaries going out to hunt will also repair their cars here.

The exotic beasts in Hongye Forest are very ferocious, but their meat contains energy which can improve one’s strength after eating… The rich people in the central district of ​​Hongye City hardly eat the animals raised in the farms in the fringe area, they all eat exotic beasts.

Of course, when the mercenaries are outside, they not only catch exotic beasts, but they also pick exotic plants that contain energy.

Whether it is an exotic beast or an exotic plant, the price is not low, and the income of the mercenaries is also very good. Every time he repairs their cars, Xie Yunnan makes a lot of money.

“Xiao Xie, where did you go this morning? I came over and you weren’t there.” An old man pushed a motorcycle over for Xie Yunnan to repair.

“I went out for a trip,” Xie Yunnan asked, looking at the dirt-covered motorcycle that had been in use for an unknown number of years. “What’s the problem this time?”

“I don’t know, it suddenly turned off.” The old man chuckled.

Xie Yunnan took his motorcycle, diagnosed the problem, and it was quickly repaired.

The motorcycle was actually used for too long, which is always a problem. But changing vehicles… Most people in the fringe area have no money.

After the old man left, people came to him seeking repairs one after another. They were all small repair jobs. Xie Yunnan endured the discomfort in his shoulders and dealt with them one by one.

During this period, he went upstairs several times.

The man upstairs didn’t wake up. After the anti-inflammatory medicine was finished, he replaced the bottle of glucose left by Dr. Hu.

It was not until it was dark that Xie Yunnan closed the door and went upstairs to cook, and let Xiaobai out along the way.

He was too lazy to cook, so he simply threw some marinated bacon, rice, and potatoes into the electric rice cooker.

After all, he is alone, and has always lived a rough life.

After eating half, he put the remaining half in the refrigerator, and went back to his bedroom.

When he went in, the man on the bed was still lying there, but when he got close… the man opened his eyes.

This man’s eyes were dark and bright, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows. Because of malnutrition, his face was extremely pale, and he was also very… pathetic.

“How do you feel?” Xie Yunnan’s voice subconsciously softened.

The man looked at him and said nothing.

“Are you feeling sick? Why were you in the river?” Xie Yunnan showed a kind smile.

The man still didn’t speak, only blinked his big eyes.

Xie Yunnan felt a “twinge” in his heart.

Is this person not awake yet, or does he have a psychological problem?

The former is okay, the latter… it’s not easy for a person who has suffered severe psychological trauma to survive.

He can help for a day or two, but not for a lifetime.

He still has his own troubles to deal with!

As Xie Yunnan’s head was hurting, Duan Changqing lay on the bed helplessly – he couldn’t understand the words in this world!

This little handsome guy who saved him… What the hell is he saying?

Did he… transmigrate into a strange world again?

That’s right, again.

Duan Changqing was originally born on the earth in the 21st century.

Probably because he was ill at birth and treatment required a lot of money, his parents abandoned him a few days after he was born.

Fortunately, the orphanage that took him in took good care of him. After funding from some well-meaning people, he underwent a few operations, and continued to live until he was twenty-eight years old.

He died on the hospital bed. When he woke up after his death, he found that he had transmigrated into a child whose family was slaughtered by a devil cultivator and brought back to be a devil soldier.

Thousands of children who were brought back together with him. The devil cultivators tempered their bodies with various terrifying methods, and used magic to control them, trying to forge them into humanoid weapons.

Because those who train magic soldiers are not high-level, and his willpower far exceeds that of normal children, he could barely maintain his sanity. But he was not always awake.

As for the other children, they were all under control.

They ate the worst, used the worst, and were forced to keep practicing… There were thousands of children at first, but only a few hundred survived.

Others didn’t feel the death of their companions, but he was different. It was very painful every time he woke up and saw fewer people around him. He wanted to free himself from these shackles.

He cultivated whenever he had time, secretly learned all kinds of knowledge, tried to unlock the techniques that controlled his companions, and taught them all kinds of knowledge…

After hundreds of years of fighting, he finally improved his strength and managed to escape those devil cultivators with his companions.

But by coincidence, his tribulation came.

The body refining technique he practiced was quick.1 In the later stages, in order to improve his strength faster, he used some secret techniques. As a result, although he had very high strength, his body had become an empty shell due to repeated overdrafts.

At that time, he arranged for his subordinates and went to meet the thunder tribulation, and was directly burnt to coke by it.

But he didn’t die. He transmigrated again, right into the river. It had been some time since the original owner fell into the water.

The original owner wore very complicated clothes, and a metal mask inlaid with many jewels. Plus he was so thin that he couldn’t float in the water… so he drowned to death.

After Duan Changqing crossed over, the first thing he did was to take off the mask and throw it away, and then take off his robes…

After finishing these two things, he had no more strength.

The body itself is too weak – the original owner of this body seems to be malnourished all year round, and barely has any muscle.

Secondly, his consciousness is too powerful. When he first entered this body, his divine consciousness was more than this body could bear, so many organs, and even capillaries, were ruptured, creating numerous bruises.

Fortunately, he sealed most of his divine consciousness in time.

After sealing his consciousness, he couldn’t do anything. He could only wrap himself up with the remainder of his divine consciousness to reduce his sense of existence, and float down the river.

He dodged the dangerous beasts in the water, but he was inevitably injured when bumping into the occasional pieces of wood and debris floating on the river surface.

Before the original owner fell into the water, he even seemed to have been whipped…

He nearly died in the river with such a weak body that was comparable to his first life. Fortunately, someone rescued him.

Duan Changqing was very grateful to the young man in front of him who saved him.

Although he has transmigrated twice and lived for hundreds of years, he still cherishes life.

For him, being alive means having hope, and being alive is the most beautiful thing in this world.

Especially since he had never lived a good life in the previous two lifetimes. If he could, he would like to eat some delicious food and see some beautiful scenery. It is best to get married and raise a cute little animal.

As Duan Changqing was thinking about it, there was a “woof woof”, and a white long-haired puppy jumped onto the bed, leaned next to his head, and looked at him curiously.

So cute!

And more! Duan Changqing quickly realized that something was wrong.

Although he could not understand the language of this world, after seeing the decorations around him and sensing it with his divine consciousness, he already had a preliminary understanding of this world.

This world has spiritual power for cultivation. Technology has developed too, and based on the TV in his room, it should be close to his first life!

And… the one who saved him was a demon.2

The bloodline of this demon should not be simple, judging from its demonic energy.

But…what’s with this demon? Not to mention releasing its main body in front of him, but its main body even came so close to him…

Don’t all demons hide their main bodies and never let others see?

Generally, only the people closest to them can come into contact with their body.

The puppy came over and licked his face as Duan Changqing was thinking.

Duan Changqing: “…” Is this demon coveting him?
