Embers

Zheng Yijun's hand could hardly even hold the sword.

Ember looked at him, under the smoky blue sky, the expression on his face was either sad or happy.He just stood there motionless, letting the rain wet the hair on his forehead.

And Nie Budu's hand was firmly resting on Zheng Yijun's shoulder.

"You can't kill him."

Nie Budu's voice was flat.

Zheng Yijun's own martial arts are not as good as Ember's, and what's more, he brought only a few ordinary servants who know a little martial arts, but in front of Nie Budu and Ember, they are no different from soldiers and generals.

Needless to say Nie Budu, just relying on Ember alone can make them come and go.

After a stalemate for a long time, Zheng Yijun suddenly smiled, but that smile was uglier than crying: "Yu Jin, before, I never thought that the relationship between us would become like this."

The hand in Ember's sleeve clenched into a fist calmly.

Seeing that he was going to move, Nie Budu released the silk thread almost instantly, seeing that the silk thread, which was sharper than a sharp knife, was about to cut everyone's throats.

At the same moment, Jieyou, glowing with silver light, silently lay across Nie Budu's neck.

Ember was still expressionless, but his hands were steady, and his meaning was obvious.

Nie Budu was startled, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled mockingly: "He wants to kill you, but I am here to protect you."

Ember slightly lowered her eyelids, but said nothing.

Zheng Yijun stared wide-eyed at the back in front of him, seemingly unbelievable, but also expected, then suddenly laughed, raised his hand and pierced Ember's waist with a sword.

The bright red blood spread rapidly, staining the white clothes. Ember didn't even tremble. She lowered her head and glanced at the blood-stained sword tip. Word: "Also..."

Nie Budu also saw this scene, he couldn't control himself and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Ember again.

Zheng Yijun withdrew his sword and said with a smile: "This sword is for Uncle Ye, let you try the pain of being pierced by a sharp blade!"

Tears rolled down his cheeks, he drew a clear mark on the ground with his sword, and paused word by word: "From now on, you and I will never have any ties, just treat me as Zheng Yijun, and I have never known you before!"

After finishing speaking, he put away his sword, turned around gracefully, and beckoned his servant to go back.

The crying voice dissipated in the wind, and Ember watched him staggering away with a blank face, and suddenly spurted a stream of blood.

Nie Budu took a deep breath, supported him who was unsteady, wanted to say something, but held back.

He saw Ember's mouth open and close, as if there was something to say, and when he listened closer, he could barely hear what he was saying: "Don't touch him..."

Nie Budu felt his heart tighten, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, don't move."

No one knew, the moment Ember was stabbed, his breathing stopped.

The carriage rushed all the way to the medical center in the nearest small town, and when Nie Budu opened the curtain, Ember had already passed out on the cushion.

The old doctor applied medicine to Ember, bandaged it, and prescribed a prescription for Nie Budu, telling him to grab the medicine and fry it when he had time, so that Ember could take care of his body.

For the first time, Nie Budu lost his arrogance in front of outsiders, put away the prescription like an ordinary person, and respectfully thanked the old doctor.

The old doctor put the silver ingot given by Nie Budu into his purse, looked at Nie Budu's side face and smiled kindly: "My lord, you don't have to be so nervous, the location of this injury is not dangerous, and it won't kill anyone. It's just bleeding, and I'll wake up soon."

Nie Budu nodded slightly, and didn't care that the old doctor referred to Ember as his younger brother, he just focused on Ember's pale face on the bed, and sighed.

Seeing this, the old doctor didn't say much anymore, and quietly went out of the house and closed the door.

The young man in red just now had a pale face when he came, but if you look carefully, you will find that his hands are trembling slightly.Although his expression was calm, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.

Even though he should know it well, the wound was not fatal.

What a good brother.

Thinking this way, the old doctor took an umbrella at the door, opened the door and went out.

In the room, Nie Budu stood beside the bed for a while, and then he recovered after a while, remembering that he should grab the medicine and come back to fry it.

How many years have you not done this kind of thing?

Nie Budu shook his fan and thought, the last time he decocted medicine was when he was in the brothel.As a waiter, you will always be injured by customers who don't know the severity, and you are not the number one. The waiters tend to ignore you, and you have to drag your broken body to decoct the medicine after each incident.

Later, after being redeemed by the old leader, he had several servants, and he never did this kind of thing himself again.

Thinking of the past, Nie Budu couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

It was so long ago that it seemed to have happened in the previous life, but when I think about it, the picture is still clear, the pain in the depths of my memory surged up again, the vicious teasing of the clients, the indifferent eyes of the old leader, the ridicule of others...

A tingling pain came from his fingertips, he came back to his senses, looked down, and saw that the flame had inadvertently licked his finger.

It was almost evening when the medicine was ready, Nie Budu took the medicine bowl and patiently fed it to Ember spoonful by spoonful, then suddenly thought of something, searched around, and found the candied fruit on the plate on the table, stuffed into Ember's mouth.

He got up to put the medicine bowl, and when he came back, he was stunned suddenly when he saw Ember.

A tear was slowly sliding down the corner of Ember's eye.

He only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and he lifted his feet and left the room in a hurry.

That night, Nie Budu spent the night in Ember's room. There was only one bed in the room, so he had to make a bunk next to the bed.

In the middle of the night, without any sleepiness, he suddenly heard a faint voice, got up quickly, leaned over to the bedside to listen carefully, it was Ember who was struggling to ask for water.

Not long after he lay down, he suddenly felt something was wrong, hesitated for a moment, and still put his hand on Ember's forehead, the scalding temperature almost burned the back of his hand.

Woke up the old doctor and invited him to come, and gave him some medicine overnight. After tossing and tossing for almost a whole night, Ember fell into a deep sleep again at dawn.

After making sure that he was fine, Nie Budu heaved a sigh of relief and soon fell asleep.

It was already noon the next day when Ember opened her eyes, and after a moment of blankness, the things that had happened began to flood into her mind.Lying on the bed and thinking about it quietly for a moment, he tried to move, and a sharp pain came from his abdomen.

The strange room was quiet, he struggled to prop himself up to the edge of the bed, and was about to get up and get out of bed when he suddenly caught sight of the person on the ground.

Nie Budu was in a deep sleep, his body was only covered with a thin blanket, and the corners of his clothes were on the ground, stained with a little dust.

This was the first time Ember saw Nie Budu in a panic.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, Ember had already recognized the fact that he could not go to the ground by himself, so he decided to wake Nie Budu up.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.The throat is dry, and even the breath is hot and dry.

Exhausting all his strength, Ember successfully pushed the pillow to the ground, and the sound of the wooden pillow falling on the ground successfully awakened Nie Budu.

He opened his eyes, still a little confused, but when he looked up, he saw Ember's expressionless face.

"Are you awake?" He got up and leaned over, "How do you feel?"

"……water."

Nie Budu hurriedly poured him a glass of water, and carefully fed him to drink.

Ember dodged subconsciously, but failed due to lack of strength.

Nie Budu seemed to be invisible, his expression remained unchanged: "Are you hungry?"

Ember nodded slightly.

Nie Budu put the pillow for him, helped him to lie down, then went out to find the old doctor to cook porridge.

With this injury, Ember lay on the bed for half a month.

He often thought he was well and wanted to go to the ground, but Nie Budu stopped him.

Nie Budu stayed with him all day long, pouring water and giving him a meal, the majestic leader of the demon sect, at this moment he seemed to be Ember's servant.

He himself didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with it, and made a bed next to the ember bed every night, so that he could get up whenever there was any movement.If Mo Yuan saw this, his jaw would drop in shock.

When he was drowsy, Nie Budu also went outside for a walk, went to the teahouse to drink tea, listen to the news from the Jianghu, and talked to Ember when he came back.

"The outer disciples of the Xiaxian Gate have made a big move recently. They united and clamored to revive the Xiaxian Gate and settle accounts with you."

Nie Budu said disdainfully: "That's true, but who doesn't know the little thought, it is clearly coveting the property left by the Xiaxian Sect, and intends to find an excuse to take it for themselves. The face of the sect is completely humiliated, if there were such idiots in the first sect of Baidao back then, the Demon Sect would have razed Lingyou Mountain to the ground long ago."

Ember listened and frowned.

"The so-called outer disciples actually have nothing to do with the sect's inner chambers, but the pious and respectable Baidao people in the Jianghu all expressed their support. Aren't they just planning to reap some benefits after they succeed?"

Nie Budu couldn't help laughing as he spoke: "It's really interesting to put on an appearance of emphasizing righteousness and despising profit every day, but what you do is not as good as the Devil's Cult."

Ember's eyes flashed coldly, just happened to be stared at by Nie Budu, he paused and said: "Aren't you going to kill them all again?"

Ember sneered coldly: "Only by them, they don't deserve to defile the lower string door."

The words have come to this point, Nie Budu should be happy to hear it, but in fact, he didn't think he was very happy, but he couldn't help but said: "If you do that, you will completely offend the whole Jianghu, and there is no place for you in the Jianghu except the Demon Sect. gone."

That means that he has completely broken with Bai Dao since then.

A person who has been in Baidao for ten years has become a demon that is beaten by thousands of people overnight. Although Nie Budu thinks that the devil's religion is more noble than Baidao, he can't bear to see him reduced to this place.

Ember didn't say anything, but the coldness and firmness in her eyes didn't waver at all.

There is Ye Bozhou's lower string door, the lower string door he grew up in, even if it is destroyed in his own hands, it will not allow others to defile it!
