The Untamed ( Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan )
Chapter 87: Shudong #15
A-Qing, "Ugh. Nothing. My ankle twisted."
Wei WuXian could clearly see that it wasn't because her ankle twisted at all. She was walking as fine as ever. If not for that she was pretending to be blind in front of Xiao XingChen so that he couldn't come up shoo her away, she could hop up to the with any reasons to heavens as she walked. A-Qing's exclamation was because as she glanced around, she suddenly saw a black figure lying among the bushes of weeds. Although she didn't know whether he was dead or alive, most likely thinking that it'd be a drag either way, she obviously didn't want Xiao XingChen to find the person. She urged him, "Let's go, let's go. Let's rest a bit at that whatever city that's ahead. I'm so tired!"
Xiao Xing Chen
"Didn't you twist your ankle? Do you want me to carry you?"
A-Qing was ecstatic, knocking loudly on the ground with her bamboo pole, "Yes, yes, yes!" Smiling, Xiao XingChen turned around with his back to her and kneeled down with one leg. Just as A-Qing was about to throw herself over, Xiao XingChen suddenly stopped her. With a serious expression, he stood up, "Something smells like blood." A-Qing could also smell a faint hint of blood. Amid the night wind, it was indeed discernible at times. She bluffed,
"Really? Why can't I smell it? Are any families around the area killing
livestock?"
Just as she finished speaking, as if
Heaven wanted to go against her wishes, the person in the bushes coughed. Even though the sound was almost imperceptible, it couldn't escape Xiao XingChen's ears. He immediately found the direction, stepped into the bushes, and squatted down beside the person. Due to how Xiao XingChen discovered the person anyway, A-Qing stomped on the ground, then pretended to find her
way over, "What happened?" Xiao XingChen was feeling the person's pulse
Xiao Xing Chen
"Someone is lying here."
