Assassin Farmer

Chapter 6-10

Su Shuilian heard a 'humph' sound, and looked back in puzzlement. She tilted her head in thought for a moment before going to Si Ling's side. She stared at his face for a moment, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Sticking out her finger, Shuilian was about to check for his breath, when suddenly a hand grasped tightly onto her wrist.

"Wah!" Shocked and scared, Su Shuilian fell to the ground. She looked at the man in front of her, who had been unconscious for five days and nights. When she looked into his dark eyes that were devoid of warmth, she fearfully looked away. Su Shuilian wanted to stand up, but noticed that her wrist was still tightly gripped; the pain was so immense that she wanted to cry out.

Holding back the tears in her eyes, Su Shuilian glared at him and said, "Let me go, you barbarian!"

How ungrateful ah! The usually tempered and gentle Su Shuilian could not help but blurt out in anger.

Immediately, she became annoyed at herself for learning how to cuss at others. Her cheeks turned slightly red. However, her actions did not stop as she continued to struggle to get out of his restraint.

Unknownst to even himself, Si Ling's eyes flashed with an ambiguous light. When he released his hand, Su Shuilian quickly took back her hands while taking a few steps back.

"Since you are up, then make yourself at home!" Su Shuilian said in a calm voice, but it was not that difficult to detect the anger from her tone of voice. With those words, she quickly turned around to continue brewing her soup as she no longer wanted to talk to this mannerless man.

Si Ling raised his brow. Was she grimacing at herself? Gently, he pressed on the multiple wounds on his body, only to find no pain. Puzzled, Si Ling sat up only to find himself lying on a thick layer of leaves covered by a warm mat of tiger fur. He guessed it was the bed of the girl and the two wolf cubs. Their treatment of him was not bad, ah.

Lightly, Si Ling tried to stand up with the support of the cave walls. His weak condition had confirmed that his injuries were as serious as he had thought. With a sudden wave of dizziness, Si Ling fell onto the cave wall, struggling not to fall.

When Su Shuilian heard the sounds of movement, she could not help but look back. Looking at the man who was saved from the brink of death making such a reckless action, she quickly forgot her previous anger and she quickly took large strides forward. Helping him up, she muttered, "Do you want to die again? With such heavy wounds, you think just a few days of lying down can completely heal you?"

Only when she carefully helped him down did Su Shuilian go and check on his wounds that were covered by the cotton wrapping. Seeing no reopening of the wounds, Su Shuliang sighed in relief. Looking into his chilled eyes that revealed a trace of weakness, Su Shuilian gathered her courage and said, "I spent a lot of time and effort to save you, so don't let me see you go down again."

Si Ling did not voice a sound and only glanced at her for a moment. He then closed his eyes to rest.

"Eh, could he be mute?" Su Shuilian frowned in response. Right from waking up till now, this man did not say anything. Thinking back to when he was surrounded by the other men, she also did not hear him say anything...

Su Shuilian was discouraged by her conclusion about this man. She had finally managed to save this man... She had wanted to get information from him about this world to plan her future. This was just great. This man turned out to be a mute.  

"Oh, what horrible luck ah." Su Shuilian's back leaned against the wall as she sat down with her knees in front of her. She placed her forehead on her knees, and thought: it seemed that she could no longer ask about anything, ah... She had wanted to know the prices of the properties here. If she were to go out, Su Shuilian was not sure how long she could last with the amount of coins she had.
