PFC Chapter 269 The aftermath
Chapter 269 The aftermath
Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of fighting.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a sky full of stars and a full moon. At some point, those clouds had dissipated.
The sound of fighting gradually reached his ears, and he took a hard breath, surrounded by the smell of earth. Seeing people dressed as city guards walking past him, he understood that he had succeeded.
Everything was finally over, and the battle was won.
He tried hard to get up from the ground, but he felt that his legs had lost strength and he could only use one arm to push himself up.
Looking at his body, he didn't know when an arrow appeared in his heart. When he reacted, he was shocked. He quickly untied his clothes to see what was going on, but found that the arrow fell directly from his body.
He seemed to have thought of something and took out that thing from his arms. The originally exquisite breast mirror was now covered with dust, and there was an extra scratch on it, presumably caused by the arrow.
Unexpectedly, this little breast shield actually saved his life.
The surroundings were already filled with city guards and members of the Zhao family. No matter how high the assassin was, he would not have a chance to take action again.
He glanced at himself. His originally clean clothes were covered with dust. His left leg was a little uncontrollable after falling. The wound on his arm had not been treated yet, but fortunately the wound was not big and there was not much bleeding.
Seeing his miserable state, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was the worst time traveler, right?
He had no family background at the beginning, and now he is still being killed. But fortunately, he is still alive, and no one around him is dead. Life should be calmer in the future.
Maybe he was thinking about the future, maybe he was relaxing after the disaster, he sat on the ground and froze. I don't know how much time passed, but the shouts of death outside were coming to an end, and a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Little brother, can I give you some medicine?"
Looking up, he saw that it was the doctor invited by the Jiang family. Perhaps seeing that the battle situation had stabilized, he also came out to rescue the wounded.
"Thank you!"
Lin Xiaofan originally wanted to bow, but found that his left arm could not be used at all. In desperation, he could only smile bitterly.
The doctor didn't care. He checked Lin Xiaofan's injuries and decided to deal with the wounds on his arms first.
On Lin Xiaofan's forearm, a slightly sharp wooden board tore through his clothes and penetrated into Lin Xiaofan's flesh. From there to the fingers, everything was covered in dried blood.
The doctor carefully cut off the nearby clothes with scissors, and then pulled out the piece of wood.
"tear!"
The pain made Lin Xiaofan take a breath. In the blink of an eye, blood flowed out again. When the doctor saw this, he applied the medicine prepared in advance. Strangely enough, as soon as the medicine was applied, Lin Xiaofan felt that the wound was cold and the pain was not so painful.
Afterwards, the doctor checked Lin Xiaofan's legs again. When he touched a spot, Lin Xiaofan's face instantly became unsightly.
"Does it hurt here?"
The doctor asked.
Lin Xiaofan nodded. Seeing this, the doctor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said:
"Little brother, your leg seems to be broken. You need to wait until you get back, and I will fix it with a wooden board and recuperate for a period of time. Otherwise, there will be sequelae."
Lin Xiaofan thought about it, and now that the salt production industry has just entered the right track, he might as well stay here for a while longer.
"Brother Lin!"
Jian Bai came out of nowhere, patted his shoulder gently, then sat next to him, imitating his example and looking up at the stars.
Comparing the two of them, Jian Bai is much better. Although his clothes and armor were a bit tattered, he was much better than Lin Xiaofan, who had difficulty moving his arms and legs.
"Well done."
Another person came over, it was the maid in pink who was also blown away. Her hair was completely let down, and her small face, which was originally made up of pink makeup, was now covered with dust. However, her condition was similar to Jian Bai's, except that she looked more embarrassed, but in fact she had no injuries.
"Both of you, are you not injured?"
Lin Xiaofan asked in disbelief.
The impact just now almost killed him. Moreover, he was already prepared. Jian Bai and the maid in pink were still in a fighting state when they were hit by the shock wave.
"I was unlucky when I fell. There was a rock underneath and I scratched my skin a little bit."
As he said that, Jian Bai stretched out his hand and saw that some skin had indeed been wiped off. But this little injury is no different than nothing.
"I'm fine, but my clothes were scratched."
The pink-clothed maid pouted.
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he took a deep breath and silently planned his martial arts training plan in his mind.
But considering that so many people died in this battle, he was lucky.
After saying this, the venue fell into silence again. Or maybe the three of them are enjoying the tranquility of their remaining lives.
After a long time, Jian Bai asked curiously:
"Brother Lin, what are your plans in the future?"
According to his understanding of Lin Xiaofan, the latter seemed to only like to live a down-to-earth life and was not too concerned about things like making contributions. Now his enemies have been almost settled and the border has been stabilized. So he was a little curious about what Lin Xiaofan would do in the future.
"Practice martial arts."
Lin Xiaofan said.
After this battle, he understood that in this era of war and chaos, it was still necessary to improve himself. No matter how many and powerful the guards are, they can't always be by your side. There will always be times when he is in danger. At that time, his own strength is the basis for saving his life.
"Practice martial arts, you have really got some exercise. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to have a secret guard of the family, and let him teach you some concealment methods and assassination techniques."
Jian Bai thought for a moment and then said.
At Lin Xiaofan's current age, it is a bit late to practice martial arts. At most, it is to strengthen the body. It is difficult to reach the peak. As for internal strength, not to mention that the family's internal strength cannot be passed on to Lin Xiaofan. Even if it is passed down personally, since he has no roots in martial arts and is too old, he can only practice some superficial skills.
The secret method is different. This mainly depends on talent and hard work, and the age requirement is not high. Learning some of these will also be beneficial to Lin Xiaofan in avoiding risks in the future.
"Then please leave it to Brother Jianbai."
Lin Xiaofan didn't shirk either. He is also worried about finding someone to teach him. There are professionals dispatched by Jianbai, so don't use them in vain.
The scene fell into silence again, and Lin Xiaofan looked around from time to time. He wanted to go and see if Wen Yue's condition was better now? Can the poison in her be cured?
Wen Yue was poisoned to save him, and he would help get rid of it no matter how high the price was.
Also, why didn't the Chen, Qing, and Shen families take action against him this time? Logically speaking, Chen Ziyang has not returned yet, and he has not entered their ambush. These people should have taken the initiative long ago.
If that were the case, even if he had one more life, he might not be able to escape tonight.
Why on earth did they delay taking action?
