: Hidden Danger
The man stared blankly at the green faced little beggar leaning over him and he still had not regained his senses until he heard the little beggars voice.
You must have hit your head on the rocks when you fell. The blood clot must be pressing against your nerves and I am guessing that your amnesia is only temporary and you will be alright once the clot clears. She stood up brushing her hands off and said: Alright, since youre awake, I will be on my way then.
When he heard that, the man panicked and he endured the excruciating pain in his abdomen as he stood up. Filled with a sense of unease and suddenly feeling rather flustered, he went to stand close beside Feng Jiu. He seemed like he was about to say something but he did not know how to say it and he merely looked at Feng Jiu with his mouth opening and closing wordlessly.
After the man stood up, Feng Jiu was suddenly taken aback. That was when she saw just how tall the man was. He was half a head taller than she was, his skin was well tanned and bronzed, muscular in built, seemingly a little more muscular than that uncle. The set of clothes covering his body at that moment was a little tight and well stretched, the bulging muscles on his arms looking like they would be splitting the clothes any moment.
She turned her eyes and looking at the man following her, she asked: What are you doing? She had just rescued the man without thinking and she had not known that it would bring herself so much trouble.
Cant.. Cant I follow you? The man looked at her, his eyes filled with unease. I cant remember anything and I only know you.
Feng Jiu was suddenly speechless. Those words sounded rather familiar to her. She herself had said something close to that when she had decided to cling on to that uncle at that time.
I.. I will not be any trouble.
Feng Jiu rolled her eyes and said in exasperation: You, yourself, are already trouble to me.
If not for him, she wouldnt have had to stare down those wolves for an entire night. With her skills and speed, even if she wasnt able to fight them, she would have no problem escaping.
When she didnt hear any reply, she raised her eyes to glance at him, and that one glance had startled her.
Wh.. What is a grown man like you crying for?
With such a big and well built man crying with his eyes all red rimmed with tears before her eyes, looking every inch like a little daughter in law having been bullied, what else could she do but be startled?
