Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 237: What Was This Place (II)

With the movement of Shi’s soft sword moved, Song Cailian’s hysterical laughter stopped at once and she fell.

Zhou screeched, “Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! If you kill me, my brother will not spare you.”

“Uh? Your brother?” Shi stared at Zhou coldly, “What is his name?”

Zhou just wanted to say the name out before something occurred to him. Then Zhou closed his mouth and burst into laughter.

“Are you afraid? Listen up, my brother is much better than the combination of Song and I in martial arts. If you hurt me, my brother will revenge me on you by destroying your whole imperial family. I’m warning you that you’d better let me go…”

“You’re too noisy.” Shi cut Zhang’s throat after uttering a sentence with cold eyes.

Zhou didn’t expect that Shi directly killed him without torturing him. At the moment Zhou died, he was thinking… why Shi didn’t want to know… who his brother was.

Zou fell down with a grievance.

Ouyang had flown down with flying skills from the back of the counterguard…

Shi also followed Ouyang to jump down after killing the two guys…

Long really thought he had particularly bad luck these days.

He was chased, assassinated, then forced to jump into a river…

Right, jumped into a river…

With the four words flashing in his brain, Long woke up with a start.

Long remembered what happened not long ago.

He jumped down with Liu halfway up the mountain… what happened then? Nothing!

Where were they now?

When Long intended to stand on his feet, Long found one of his legs was pressed. Long looked along and saw Liu’s hand.

“Liu Suifeng!” Long called with a low voice before checking Liu’s situation.

“Hiss… you’re burning hot.” Long realized that Liu seemed to have a fever.

“Liu Suifeng, Liu Suifeng!” Liu called him twice. However, Liu was in a coma and burning hot.”

Long was surprised because their conditions seemed to be exchanged.

According to the physical state, Long was supposed to have a fever.

But Long didn’t have a fever. On the contrary, Liu had a high fever.

With a cold wind blowing, Long trembled. His clothes were totally drenched, but it seemed that they had come out of the river for a long time…

That was to say they had been lying here for a long time. But both of them were in a coma, so Liu had a fever?

Was it possible that Liu protected him in the river by the cost of suffering serious injuries?

Long knocked his head, but he found he just remember things about jumping into the river…

Whatever. Long started to observe this place instead of keeping thinking this problem.

But what jumped into his sight was a desolate place, just with little weeds.

Long and Liu were lying on the shore. But Long… felt… the river beside them was not Songye River.

Of course, that was only his feeling, because the river which he looked down at halfway up the mountain had torrential flows, but the river in front of him was different.

So Long thought this river was not Songye River.

Was it possible that Songye river was connected with another river?

But what was this place?

Long frowned greatly, thinking he’d better find other humans.

Otherwise, Liu and Long would die of coldness sooner or later.

“Liu Suifeng!” Long called twice, but Liu didn’t give any response.

Feeling so cold… Long trembled and then decided to look for help with Liu behind his back.

Long started going ahead after putting Liu on his back.

Alas… Alas… Liu was so heavy that Long walked with some difficulty.

Then a problem occurred to Long, which was that he hadn’t eaten for a long time.

Since the fighting in that night… Liu and Long hadn’t eaten.

They not only jumped into a river and but also was in a coma for some time.

Therefore, it seemed that the reason Long felt Liu was heavy had something to do with his weak strength…

In addition, a person who was in a coma was actually heavier than a person who was awake.

It was just like that a dead person was much heavier than a living person.

Long walked difficultly with Liu on his back… when Long felt his legs broken, he finally saw a cabin which made him almost cry with joy.

It was a cabin. Long thought although the cabin was desolate a bit, someone would live in it, and he or she would help them.

Seeing signs of hope, Long walked toward the cabin with Liu on his back.

Finally, they arrived at the cabin which seemed to topple. Long couldn’t help wondering if some ne really lived in such a shabby cabin.

If someone lived here, how poor this family was that they didn’t repair their residence?

The cabin had a wooden door, so Long shouted outside, “Anyone here? We are passersby. Could you help us?”

Long repeated those words for three times, but he didn’t get any response.

Grinding his teeth, Long went to knock on the door with Liu on his back.

Long still got no response. Then he pushed the door which was not equipped with a lock.

The wooden door was pushed open directly, which astonished Long.

“Hello! Is anybody here?” Long asked again. The room was so quiet that Long confirmed that nobody was in the room.

The cabin was not big at all, which was about 20 square meters.

There was only a bed, a simple desk and two chairs in it.

Putting Liu on the bed, Long thought he almost collapsed from exhaustion.

“Liu Suifeng, I will suggest you to lose some weight after you wake up… You looked thin, but you are so heavy. I’m exhausted…”

After muttering, Long walked around in the cabin, looking for things useful to them.

But he was disappointed because there was neither water nor food.

He even didn’t see any bowl or chopsticks, which meant no one lived here.

Long felt he was on the verge of collapse because he didn’t know what to do and what he could do next.

Long thought of hunting, but he denied this idea immediately because he didn’t see any prey on the way and he also didn’t know how to hunt with his poor martial arts.

Fortunately, the cabin could keep out wind and rain. Long felt cold before, but now he felt warm after walking a long way with Liu on his back. Long thought his clothes needed to be dried by a fire.

That meant he had to make a fire.

Thinking of this, Long touched his bosom at once and took out a piece of flint.

“Ho, I take this with me luckily, otherwise, things will get worse.”

It would be not a problem to make a fire with this piece of flint.

But the cabin was easy to be burn down if he was careless, so Long had to be cautious of making a fire.

Long decided to look for firewood or something like straw. Then he had to build a fire in…

Long thought of heating water… he was worrying that Liu would get worse…
