Chapter 210 The wounds could not be healed with clothes on
Chang Nuo was surprised. As a famous killer, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t scare a little girl. So, he said raucously with his face twisted, “You don’t know about my means. I am the notorious rapist– ‘butterfly’, whose favorites are the ladies of the rich families. The number of the ladies who were harmed by me are countless, and most of them hanged themselves. Miss He, they have lost the confidence to live because of my heartless torture. And that is what you need to keep in mind.”
“Oh,” He Danggui just said, “Childe Feng, would you mind holding me in a more comfortable position? I’m about to fall to the ground.”
“Ah?” Chang Nuo blinked his eyes in confusion and then looked down. One of his arms was around He Danggui’s neck and the other arm was hooking her legs, which left a huge space in the middle. And because he was walking, He Danggui’s body could almost touch the ground. But the middle part belong to Yuan, how could he touch that part? So, he moved He Danggui’s soft body on his shoulder and walked like he was carrying a big sack.
He Danggui’s nose accidently made contact with Chang Nuo’s rock-hard back and then a warm stream flew out of her nose. She resisted, “My nose is bleeding! You’ve hurt me!” Red blood dropped on Chang Nuo’s white robe like flowers.
Chang Nuo was surprised, so he sped up his pace and yelled with a low voice, “Just get over it. We will be there soon.”
“Where’re we going?” He Danggui felt dizzy because of the shaking, so she got all the blood on Chang Nuo’s elegant robe and shouted, “Hey! I think you should hold me like before! Now you’re making my head towards the ground, and more blood is coming out! I’ve already been hurt badly, and I’m lucky just to be able to talk right now. But now with all these bloods coming out from my nose, I may be dead in minutes. Feng Yang, I will never spare your life even when I’m dead!”
Chang Nuo’s body shook because of He Danggui’s yelling. He immediately carried her down into the original holding position. However, in the process, he mistakenly touched the middle part of He Danggui’s body, causing a high and piercing sound.
“Ah!” He Danggui yelled as loud as she could, “Harassment! Help!”
Chang Nuo quickly poked He Danggui’s mute acupoint and explained while wiping the blood, “That was just an accident! Also, I didn’t touch you with my palm. It was my fist. Please, calm down. I meat no disrespect…” At this moment, he realized that he began to feel less angry. Then he continued, “You’re Yuan’s woman. I can’t lay my hands on you. But if you continue being so ruthless to him, in order to make him forget you, I would kill you tonight right here in these woods and then bury you under those rocks. I mean it. You can choose to not believe me, but that would be underestimating me, who held the Fuliu Sword.
He Danggui was chocked by Chang Nuo’s words and thought maliciously, “Yuan? What an intimate way to call. What’s his connection with Zhu Quan? If Feng Yang and Zhu Quan were together, it will be clear why Zhu Quan treated all his women so cold–because he likes man! Feng Yang and Zhu Quan have known each other since they were both teenagers. And Feng Yang always calls Zhu Quan ‘Yuan’, which proves that Zhu Quan has been used ‘Ning Yuan’ as his fake name for a long time. In previous life, I gave all my life to Zhu Quan. However, I never heard the name, ‘Ning Yuan’. How ridiculous! What was the truth about the man she has slept with for decades?”
Chang Nuo tried to negotiate, “If you won’t scream just like before and can forget about my accidental touch, I will relieve your mute acupoint, ok? Blink once if you agree.”
He Danggui blinked twice, which made Chang Nuo be wondered. So, he reminded her, “If you agree with me, blink once; if not, just keep your eyes open.”
However, He Danggui still blinked twice, which made Chang Nuo be more confused. He had to relieve her mute acupoint and asked, “Could you just forget my small act of rudeness before? You know I didn’t mean that. It was you who were yelling you are about to dead, so I got scared and touched you in the wrong place inadvertently.”
He Danggui became angrier and said with her teeth grinning up and down, “You bastard! Pervert! Liar! You touched me and you chose to deny it. Shameless! People who wicked as you didn’t deserve to be Lord Ning’s friend. There is a saying goes, ‘Friend’s wife, your taboo.’ But now your dared to harass me. Then do you dare to see Lord Ning again? You said he will come to Yangzhou City very soon, and you asked me to see him. Fine, I am sure I will go to see him. And when I meet him, I will expose the real you to him, a false, cunning and shameless man! Then, he will no longer be your friend!”
Hearing this, Chang Nuo was angry and shocked. He said with anger, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I be interested in your body when I have dozens of beautiful concubines at home? You have been Lord Ning’s woman 3 years ago. I have been behaved myself and didn’t even touch one of your fingers until now. That was truly an accident! Could you just forgive me?”
With a half-smiling face, He Danggui said, “You can’t judge a book only by its cover. The more a person looks like gentle, the more he might be evil. Based on my judgement, you are that wolf with the skin of a sheep. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have poked my mute acupoint and brought me to such dark and quiet woods. You pervert! Ah!” Again, she made a piercing sound.
Chang Nuo felt headache because of the sound, so he immediately put He Danggui on the ground and relieved her Jianjing acupoint. But then he patted once on her scapula and said, “I’m afraid that you may try to escape, so I have to seal your internal force right now. This is a palm method called Heart Crushing. You will find out when you try to use your Zhenqi. Miss He, trust me, it would be the worst nightmare of your life.” Then he took out a wooden fan and said, “Hold the other end and don’t let it go. I will take you to a place and you will understand that Lord Ning have fell in love with you 3 years ago when we get there. Here, take it!”
He Danggui slowly took the fan and said, “Since I can’t use my internal force, I am now only a powerless lady who are also severely wounded. I can’t hold tight to anything now, and I feel that my body is aching so much. If you don’t want me to die right now, just bring me back to Tao Yao Yard. I don’t have the intention to go anywhere else or see how much love Lord Ning has for me now. The more he likes me, the more I hate him. I want to go home.”
Chang Nuo was furious. He held He Danggui in his arms and jumped on the high bamboo. In seconds, they were standing in front of a dark cave and entered right away. After running deeply in the cave for a while, He Danggui began to see clearly that the cave was like a karst cave with small caves inside big caves. After a time, they stopped at a dry and cold stone cave. In the darkness, He Danggui could only see that there was a round futon on the ground.
Chang Nuo took out a Huo Zhe Zi (a tight roll of rough paper keeping in an airtight tube box, which could be carried around and was easy to rekindle once it was exposed into the air again) and made it widely open like a small torch. Suddenly, the cave was filled with light. The futon on the ground was dark-red surrounded by a few dolls of different materials. Chang Nuo noticed that there were some oil lamps inside the hollows on the stone wall. So, he lighted them up with Huo Zhe Zi, which made the cave be brighter.
Chang Nuo took Huo Zhe Zi back and let He Danggui sit on the futon. While trying to unclothe her cape, he said, “Let me see your wounds. I have some medicines, and my Zhenqi is soft and gentle which is benefit for normal wounds.” After he undressed He Danggui’s robe, he continued to undress her dress. He Danggui immediately yelled, “Pervert! Harassment!”
Chang Nuo hesitated for seconds and then continued. He said, “I believe even if Lord Ning knew, he would never want you to die. As for the current situation, he will understand. Where did you hurt exactly? Who did this to you?” It was weird that her clothes were covered in blood but still in whole without a slight damage. Weren’t all these bloods caused by sword? Could it be internal injury?
Before He Danggui realized what happened, there were only middle clothes left on her body. Seeing Chang Nuo’s evil hands reaching towards her again, she believed more firmly that Chang Nuo’s true desire was to take advantage of her, so she covered her clothes tightly and said, “Actually, my wounds are not that severe, and I will be fine if I go home and rest for two days. Most of the bloods on my clothes belong to someone else. Just give me the medicine. I can do it myself!”
Chang Nuo thought He Danggui was too shy to show her wounds, so he couldn’t help scolding, “It’s a matter of life and death! Don’t be shy. You would have no chance to enjoy anything if you’re dead. Rest assure, I just want to see your wounds so that I can cure them. I will only pay attention to the wounds. Just let your hands go!” Then he tried to move He Danggui’s hands.
He Danggui shook her head firmly and said, “Childe Feng, you’re a man, so you don’t know for women, reputation and virginity are everything! Even if I have to die today because of bleeding, I can’t let you look at my wounds. And you can heal wounds even with clothes on, can’t you?” She didn’t want to tell Chang Nuo that her wounds were fake, because if so, he would do worse things. Now the best plan was to pretend to be almost dying, so Chang Nuo wouldn’t dare to do something. In this way, they could make a perfect deal.
Chang Nuo stopped his actions. He frowned and said, “Healing a person with clothes on is used when the patient has inner injury. Even so, you should let me see where your wounds are, right?” Then he tried to remove her clothes again.
He Danggui suddenly thought of something and nodded hardly. She said, “Correct! My wounds are inner injuries! There was an assassin in my house. He hit me pretty hard, so I had severe inner injuries. I spat so much blood on my clothes. Look, there’s nothing damaged on my outermost skirt. Childe Feng, you should heal me with your method when you deal with inner injuries.”
Chang Nuo began to believe He Danggui’s words a little, but on second thoughts, he questioned, “No. It’s normal the front of your clothes was covered in blood, but what about the back of your clothes? It’s clear that you were wounded on your skin. Don’t force yourself right now. You would kill yourself! Sister He, I mean no harm to you. Since you were so ruthless to Lord Ning, I wanted to scare you by those words so that you could change your mind. I know that you must have outer injuries, otherwise Pan Jingyang couldn’t give me so much medicines that are used to cure sword wounds. If you’re worried about your reputation and virginity, we can solve this by Jianghu rules after I heal you, ok?”
“Jianghu rules?” He Danggui was curious and asked, “What is it?” Would Feng Yang marry her? Suddenly, she felt this was a good idea. If so, she could get rid of Zhu Quan. Bai Yangbai once said before that Feng Yang never paid attention to any of his concubines. After the marriage, she could purposely make a mass to get the divorce letter and then left.
But Chang Nuo’s words broke her beautiful fantasy coldly. “Jianghu rules mean that you can stab me in the same place where I lay my eyes on your body. Well, that’s settled then. Let’s just get started. Relax, I will not regret.”
Chang Nuo wanted to undress He Danggui’s middle clothes again, but He Danggui still held tightly on her clothes. Chang Nuo got impatient and threatened, “Take off your clothes now, or I will poke your acupoint and do it myself!”
