Chapter 644 - 637_1
"Madam, Madam, Haishi has woken up." Since Haishi was an outside male and a servant in the household, Lin Yue, though concerned, could not stay by his side all the time. Furthermore, Doctor Zheng had said he wouldn’t wake up so quickly, so she had no choice but to return to the courtyard first. She instructed people to watch over Haishi and to inform her immediately once he awoke.
"He’s awake, then let’s hurry over and take a look." Haishi was in trouble and Master Xue had been abducted. She still had no news of the other guards who went out with them, so how could Lin Yue be at ease? She had been restless the whole time. In the more than three years since she came here, except for the time when Zhao Erhu was seriously injured while hunting in the mountains and some minor accidents, life had been rather smooth. This was the first time such a major incident had occurred, and it even involved potential loss of life. What was most important was that she still had no idea who the enemy was, even at this moment.
"Haishi, you’re awake; how do you feel about your injuries? Doctor Zheng said you have lost a lot of blood but didn’t suffer any vital injury. As long as you recuperate properly, there shouldn’t be any major problems, so he left earlier. If there’s anything uncomfortable, you must speak up immediately. I will send someone to the city to fetch Doctor Zheng right away." When Lin Yue entered, Haishi had just finished taking his medicine. He had insisted on going to find Lin Yue, but lacking the strength, the little servant taking care of him had said that the madam would come, so Haishi lay still, though in his heart, he truly felt an urgency. Upon seeing Lin Yue, he immediately tried to get up.
"Madam, my injuries are not severe, it’s just that I don’t have much strength for the moment, and that’s why I didn’t come to report to you immediately." The first thing Lin Yue did upon arriving was not to inquire about what happened but to show concern for his health. Haishi truly felt comforted, thinking that he was indeed following a good master.
"Lie still and don’t move about. Although the injuries to your body are not life-threatening, they are still deep. Pay extra attention and don’t move around to split the wounds open again. You can talk lying down. Since it has happened, worrying is useless."
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam. I am useless, unable to protect Master Xue, and even several brothers were captured along with him by those men in black. I am ashamed to face you, Madam. I originally wanted to fight those men in black to the death, but then I thought if I also met with an accident, there would be no one left to bring the news. Madam would not know what happened to us, so I decided to fight my way out." Haishi spoke of the events on the road, his face filled with self-reproach and dejection. He had indeed been determined to fight the men in black to the death.
"Who are those men in black? Why did they intercept you, and why did they capture the guards as well?" Lin Yue found the actions of the men in black to be very strange. It was one thing to abduct Master Xue, but it was quite another to capture the guards as well. They should not have done that if they were following common sense.
