La ciudad solitaria cerró

Capítulo 15

“How can you say it’s just one person? Aren’t there Uncle Fang and other servants?” Ouyang Tianyun didn’t think so. “If anything happens, they will send someone to call us.”

Good heavens! Why can't this man learn his lesson? "Have you forgotten what happened just now? If Leng Hao had wanted to fight us, we would have been meeting the King of Hell by the time you got back."

Ouyang Tianyun found himself unable to refute her words. What she said made perfect sense, and the events of just now still haunted him. If he had returned to find corpses lying in pools of blood instead of the Green Jade Manor he was in now, then... he couldn't imagine.

Just then, a gentle voice rang out from not far away:

"Sister-in-law, why don't you and brother go out for a walk? I'll take care of Yue'er." Ouyang Tianji, who had just returned home, felt a little guilty when he heard his sister-in-law arguing with his brother about Yue'er.

"Huh? You're back?" Su Yuyin turned around and saw Ouyang Tianji standing behind her. She greeted him with a smile, "Was the trip out of the city smooth?"

"Our departure from the city late at night went relatively smoothly," Ouyang Tianji replied, expressing his gratitude to his sister-in-law.

That guy Tianyu! He's made a complete mess of the house. Look at his brothers, how badly they've been fooled! If they ever find out that this was all a charade he and Leng Hao staged together, they'll beat him half to death!

"Now that you're back, you can take care of your wife yourself! I can go see the outside world too." After saying that, Su Yuyin took Ouyang Tianyun's hand and left, leaving Ouyang Tianji with a smile on his face.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a child who never grows up, and the eldest brother seems to have fallen for her as well.

Upon arriving at the market, Su Yuyin was immediately captivated by the bustling scene before her. Scenes she had previously only seen in period dramas were now unfolding before her eyes. Like a curious child, she looked around and touched everything, finding everything novel and fascinating. If she had a camera, she would definitely take dozens of rolls of photos...

Ouyang Tianyun, afraid she would get lost, followed closely behind her. It turned out she also enjoyed being around people. Suddenly—

A figure ran past them, followed by panting shouts:

"Thief! Thief!" An old man carrying a half-full basket of vegetables couldn't outrun the thief at all.

Thief? Su Yuyin's first reaction was to give chase, completely forgetting that she was no longer the agile person she used to be, and that her small feet were no longer capable of running. As it turned out, she fell down before she had even run twenty meters.

Damn your feet! Su Yuyin glared angrily at her feet.

"How are you? Did you hurt yourself?" Before Ouyang Tianyun could react, he saw his wife fall, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, pretending to check her feet.

"Don't worry about me, hurry up and chase after that thief." Su Yuyin urged him, enduring the pain in her foot.

“But…” Ouyang Tianyun looked at her hesitantly, he was very worried about her.

"Go quickly!"

Ouyang Tianyun glanced at her, then turned and used his lightness skill to fly in the direction the thief had fled. A short while later, he returned with the thief by the collar.

"Take it out," he said coldly.

"Young Master Ouyang, please spare me! I won't do it again." The thief's legs went weak when he saw Ouyang Tianyun, so he didn't dare to cause any more trouble and obediently handed over the money bag.

"I'll let you off this time, but if I run into you again, I won't let you off easily. Get lost!" Ouyang Tianyun said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes." The thief ran away in a flash.

"Here you go, old man." He handed the money bag to the old man, ignoring the old man's repeated thanks, and walked towards Su Yuyin, who was still sitting on the ground.

"Get up!" Ouyang Tianyun reached out and helped her up.

"Ouch!" She found that the pain from her knees and ankles made it impossible for her to stand up.

Ignoring all etiquette, Ouyang Tianyun rolled up her trouser legs in the street and found that both of her knees were bleeding and her right ankle was visibly swollen. Without saying a word, he picked her up and carried her to a nearby clinic.

"How could you be so careless? Luckily, it's just a superficial injury, no bones are broken, and your ankle is only sprained. As long as you change the dressing on time every day and rest for a few days, you'll be fine." The old doctor bandaged Su Yuyin's wound while instructing her, "Remember, don't get the wound wet until it heals. Also, I'll prescribe some medicine to clear heat and reduce inflammation for you..."

Seriously? Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over such a minor injury? Getting injured is nothing new for her. In the past, a little bit of antiseptic would have been enough to heal it, but now… this quack doctor is insisting she take medicine, and that dark liquid…

"Doctor, can I not take my medicine?" she asked the doctor pitifully.

"No!" Ouyang Tianyun blurted out before the doctor could answer; this was the first thing he said after learning of her injury.

Su Yuyin knew she couldn't win against him, so she decided to figure something out later.

After leaving the clinic, Ouyang Tianyun carried her all the way home. He found she was already asleep, so he gently placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at her sleeping face. He didn't realize that his heart was slowly drawing closer to her...

Chapter Seven

Where am I? Su Yuyin woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar room, the surroundings as simple as her own. Wait, what? She remembered Ouyang Tianyun carrying her back. Had he sold her off?

She pushed the covers off and got out of bed, ready to get to the bottom of things. But before her feet even touched the ground...

"Why are you up? Lie back down!" Ouyang Tianyun came in from outside and, seeing that she was about to get out of bed, immediately put the tray he was carrying on the table and came over to stop her.

"How could it be him?" Su Yuyin was taken aback when she saw Ouyang Tianyun enter. "Where is this place?" she asked.

"Study!" Ouyang Tianyun gestured for her to sit on the bed and considerately placed a soft pillow behind her back.

"The study?! Why did you bring me here?" Su Yuyin rolled her eyes at him, utterly bewildered. "I thought you'd sold me out!"

Sell her? Ouyang Tianyun laughed upon hearing this. It's amazing that she could come up with such a thing.

"Here, drink this bowl of medicine."

"No—" Su Yuyin glanced into the bowl. It was Chinese medicine! It was dark and had a strong medicinal smell. "It must be very bitter."

"Good medicine tastes bitter. What medicine isn't bitter?" Seeing her childish behavior, Ouyang Tianyun knew that taking her back to the study to take care of her personally was the right thing to do; otherwise, he wouldn't know where she would pour the medicine. "Listen to me! Drink your medicine."
