Chapter 3 First Encounter Below

  Zhou Huai Xuan put Sheng Si Yan down on the ground, and Sheng Si Yan woke up.

  The ground was hard and cold, completely unlike Zhou Huai Xuan's warm embrace.

  "Brother Huai Xuan?" Sheng Siyan felt her way up from the ground, "Brother Huai Xuan? Where are you?"

  Zhou Huai Xuan heard Sheng Si Yan calling him, and with great effort, he turned his head, his voice hoarse as he said: "......you just stay there and sleep, I have something to attend to..."

  His voice was trembling with restraint, and Sheng Siyan listened with great concern, crawling over to the direction of the sound.

  As she crawled, she softly called out: "Huai Xuan gege... Huai Xuan gege... where are you?" She stared ahead with dull grey eyes.

  The night was very dark, and the broken temple was pitch black.

  Just then a little moonlight shone through the holes in the roof of the ruined temple.

  Zhou Huai Xuan saw the moonlight shining on Sheng Si Yan's small face, her complexion was almost transparent, even more radiant than the moonlight.

  "Ah——!" Zhou Huai Xuan cried out again, tightly grasping the leg of the incense table, his entire body convulsing uncontrollably.

  Sheng Siyan heard the commotion from Zhou Huai Xuan's side and quickly crawled over in that direction.

  The ruined temple was not very large, and although there were no lights, it didn't matter to her since she couldn't see anyway; day and night made no difference to her.

  Sheng Siyan quickly felt Zhou Huai Xuan's leg, then felt his trembling and was shocked, continuing upwards, wanting to pull on Zhou Huai Xuan's arm.

  Zhou Huai Xuan hugged his head and rolled on the ground, pushing Sheng Si Yan aside.

  Sheng Siyan gritted her teeth and crawled over again. This time, she happened to touch Zhou Huai Xuan's head.

  Along those thick black hair, her hand felt its way up to Zhou Huai Xuan's face.

  Her small hand gently stroked Zhou Huai Xuan's face, feeling the movement on his face, Sheng Si Yan also had a thrilling heart.

  This young master Zhou seems to be having an epileptic seizure...

  At the mention of epilepsy, Sheng Siyan immediately stuffed her small hand into Zhou Huai Xuan's mouth without hesitation.

  She remembered that a colleague in her previous life had this illness, and when it acted up, something had to be stuffed into his mouth so he wouldn't bite off his own tongue during the convulsions.

  Sheng Siyan's eyes couldn't see, and she didn't have time to find a small wooden stick, so she unhesitatingly stuffed her own small hand into Zhou Huai Xuan's mouth for him to bite.

  Zhou Huai Xuan had already reached a critical point and could no longer control himself, so he took a bite.

  If Sheng Siyan hadn't put her small hand into his mouth, Zhou Huaiquan would have definitely bitten off his own tongue...

  But Sheng Siyan's small hand replaced the small wooden stick that Zhou Huai Xuan used to bite when he was ill at home, and naturally suffered the same fate as the small wooden stick.

  "Ah——! You really bite! You're a dog! Stinky Huai Xuan! Stinky Huai Xuan! I'll never care about you again!" Sheng Siyan was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and she felt like the tiger's mouth on her small hand had been bitten open by two sharp teeth, with fresh blood gushing out.

  Zhou Huai Xuan had a mouthful of bloody taste, and only then did he slowly come to from the convulsions of madness.

  He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls of blood, suddenly feeling very embarrassed.

  Sheng Siyan cried hard, but she didn't pull her hand out of Zhou Huai Xuan's mouth.

  After a while, Zhou Huai Xuan gradually calmed down, no longer convulsing or in severe pain. He slowly pulled Sheng Si Yan's small hand out of his mouth.

  Under the bright moonlight, Zhou Huai Xuan saw that on the tiger's mouth of the small white jade-like palm, there were two clear tooth marks.

  His tooth print.

  Zhou Huai Xuan was very anxious, holding Sheng Si Yan's small hand and blowing on it, coaxing her: "It doesn't hurt, not at all." He looked up to see that this time Sheng Si Yan was really crying, completely different from when she pretended to cry to scare away the man in black during the day.

  Sheng Siyan was so angry after hearing Zhou Huai Xuan's words that she forgot to cry, and furiously said: "Not painful?! You stretch out your hand for me to bite and try it! - Not painful?! You're really standing while speaking without any waist pain!"

  Zhou Huai Xuan was originally filled with guilt and sadness, but hearing Sheng Si Yan speak like this, couldn't help but laugh, warmly saying: "Alright, alright, later I'll let you bite me, is that okay?"

  "You're a man of your word!" Sheng Siyan muttered and snuggled into Zhou Huai Xuan's arms.

  Zhou Huai Xuan looked at the wound on Sheng Si Yan's hand with great guilt, and took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to carefully bandage it for her.

  Sheng Siyan asked him: "Don't you smoke anymore?"

  Zhou Huai Xuan nodded silently for a while: "I won't smoke anymore." After saying that, he felt strange again. This time, he seemed to recover quite quickly...

  Over the years, his seizures have become more severe and longer-lasting. Even after he manages to get through one, he has to sleep for several days.

  This time, however, it was over in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and he didn't feel weak all over like before when he woke up. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and full of energy, as if his whole body was filled with endless strength.

  This feeling is really strange...

  Zhou Huai Xuan hugged Sheng Si Yan and found that she had lost a lot of weight.

  Maybe he's grown up?

  Sheng Siyan's thoughts were in a mess, and she fell asleep again with her arms around Zhou Huai Xuan's neck.

  Jian Zhou Huai Xuan is busy running around, but doesn't know what he's doing. Sheng Si Yan mumbles in his sleep, "I'm dirty!"

  Zhou Huai Xuan: “……” He paused for a moment, after all, this feeling of being full of energy was too unfamiliar to him, he couldn't help but try it out.

  After thinking for half a day, Zhou Huai Xuan's gaze fell on that thin golden thread.

  That golden thread tied his leg and the corner of the supply table together, extremely tough, even cutting with a dagger couldn't cut it off.

  Zhou Huai Xuan stared fixedly at that golden thread, reached out his hand to try and pull it, then with a burst of strength, he gave it a fierce tug!

  What left him aghast was that he actually snapped the golden thread in two!

  He broke off that golden thread with his hand which could not be cut by a dagger!

  Zhou Huai Xuan became excited, hugged Sheng Si Yan, and got up from the ground with a grunt, walking around in the broken temple to exercise his muscles.

  Now he can go down the mountain immediately.

  Zhou Huai Xuan couldn't help but think about why he suddenly changed from a weak and sickly fifteen-year-old boy to an incredibly strong man, but for now, he just wanted to savor the happiness he had never experienced before.

  He untied his robe and wrapped Sheng Siyan tightly inside, then headed out.

  Just then, Sheng Siyan suddenly woke up and looked around blankly with her grey eyes, saying: "I think I heard someone coming."

  Zhou Huai Xuan was taken aback and stopped in his tracks, cocking his head to listen.

  In the twelfth lunar month, on the mountain, the cold wind howls, this broken temple is just like a broken windmill, with all sorts of strong winds constantly blowing in.

  Zhou Huaixuan no longer felt the chill of the cold wind, but instead found it refreshing as it blew against his skin.

  And his five senses were also much sharper than before.

  When Sheng Siyan said this, he also sensed something was off.

  Indeed someone went up the mountain, and it's not just one person!

  "Let's hide." Sheng Siyan said nervously.

  Zhou Huai Xuan nodded and jumped out of the broken temple window with Sheng Si Yan in his arms, hiding in the shadows behind the temple.

  Before long, the sound of people's voices grew closer and closer.

  Sheng Siyan's ears suddenly moved slightly.

  Zhou Huai Xuan saw it and exclaimed: "You're quite talented. You can even move your ears."

  Sheng Siyan thought of giving Bai a glance, but unfortunately, she couldn't see him, and Bai was facing the wrong direction...

  Zhou Huai Xuan suppressed his smile and pulled Sheng Si Yan's small head into his chest to prevent the wind from blowing on her.

  But Sheng Siyan had already heard the voice on that side and exclaimed in surprise: "It's my mother! My mother has come to find me!"

  Zhou Huai Xuan was even more surprised, "Your mother? What does your mother do?" Unbelievable! This is even more powerful than the strongest scout under his father's command!

  Sheng Siyan smiled and didn't tell the truth.

  Because she couldn't see and was mischievous, Wang worried that she would get lost, so she used a kind of medicinal herb powder on her body. The hedgehog in their house, A Cai, was most sensitive to that smell. Within hundreds of miles, as long as he smelled that smell, he would definitely bring Wang to find her.

  "It's my mother and Ah Cai who have arrived." Sheng Siyan nodded heavily.

  Zhou Huai Xuan thought it was strange and didn't say a word, quietly watching instead.

  A group of people climbed up from the other side of the mountain slope, and their voices became clearer.

  Zhou Huai Xuan heard his father's voice.

  "You said they were here? But there's no one here?" God General Zhou Chengzong furrowed his brow and said.

  Behind him, countless soldiers held torches, illuminating this area as if it were daytime.

  Zhou Huai Xuan felt a sense of relief in his heart. It turned out that Sheng Si Yan's mother had brought her father over...

  Wang shook the rope in his hand, pointing to the small hedgehog tied at the other end: "My family's Acai will absolutely not be wrong. If it finds its way here, then my family's Yan'er must be here."

  Zhou Chengzong's face turned fierce, he waved his hand and shouted, "Search for me!"

  Zhou Huai Xuan and Sheng Si Yan exclaimed in unison:

  "Dad!"

  "Mother!"

  Wang and Zhou Chengzong turned their heads together, seeing a young man in green clothes holding a little girl walking out of the shadows behind the broken temple.

  Wang was overjoyed and rushed up to say: "Yan'er, are you alright?"

  "It's okay, it's okay." Sheng Siyan said with a smile, rushing into Wang's arms in the direction of the sound.

  Wang's eyes were filled with tears as she tightly hugged Sheng Siyan and exclaimed: "Let's go home! Let's go home!"

  Zhou Chengzong also nodded at Zhou Huaixuan and said lightly: "Are you okay?"

  "It's nothing." Zhou Huai Xuan also said calmly.

  The two of them were too polite with each other and didn't seem like father and son at all.

  Sheng Siyan couldn't see all of this, she just smiled and waved at Zhou Huai Xuan: "Brother Huai Xuan, I'm home!"

  Zhou Huai Xuan raised his hand, wanting to bid her farewell, but before he could speak, the black-clad man suddenly appeared from nowhere and grabbed Zhou Huai Xuan, pulling him back. Taking a closer look at his current appearance, he burst out laughing: "Retribution! Retribution! It's truly retribution!"

  Zhou Chengzong was furious as soon as he saw the man in black, and only had time to make a gesture to Zhou Huaixuan before raising his longbow and shooting arrow after arrow at him like a cannon!

  Zhou Chengzong's arrow was on fire, and in an instant, it burned the black-clad man into a human torch.

  Zhou Huai Xuan hastily dodged to the side, but he didn't expect that the black-clothed man seemed to have an accomplice.

  He had just moved away when another man in black darted out from the diagonal direction, grabbed his neck from behind and soared into the distance as if he were a feather.

  Zhou Chengzong insisted on pursuing.

  The second man in black threw a sign back and tossed it into Zhou Chengzong's hands, shouting: "We're taking your son to see a doctor, you ungrateful thing!" As he spoke, the sound of his voice faded away, and he disappeared from view with Zhou Huanxuan.
