Assassin Farmer Chapter 5
Su Shuilian woke up from the loud sound of rough fighting.
Fighting sounds? Realising, Su Shui suddenly sat up.
Since there were sounds of people fighting, then she must not be far from the end of this forest. But looking up at the still-dark sky, who could these people be?
Su Shuilian lightly got up, she glanced at the two wolf pups sleeping on the tiger skin before she walked towards the origin of the sound. Careful not to make any noise, she quickly peeked out of the large rock that she was hiding behind.
Looking in front of her, she saw a group darkly dressed men fighting… No, it was 7 to 8 men ganging against another darkly dressed, weaponless man.
One man from group could be seen putting his blade onto the surrounded man’s neck. He coldly said: "even with the body numbing powder and the red dove powder, you are still able to actively resist... Lord was right, leaving you alive will do more harm than good.”
After speaking, the man made a gesture with his hands. With that, all the surrounding men aimed their weapon, and at the same time, pierced at the silent man in the middle.
Looking at such a brutal scene, Su Shuilian almost fainted. She quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
The man’s body then quickly fell down onto the ground and laid there motionless.
The same man who had just spoken before was the last to pull his sword out. He coldly added: "Si Ling, you only have yourself to blame. You shined and excelled at your job, but as assassins, we are to remain in the shadows." Then he turned, waved his hand, and the eight people instantly disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Su Shuilian who had witnessed the whole scene was left speechless. She can not believe that in just a few minutes, she had watched the act of a brutal murder. That place, yesterday, she and the 2 pups were playing there, but now…. Some things were really unpredictable ah!
Not until a small whimper was heard, did she come back from her daze. Looking down she saw the two puppies had awoken and were by her feet. Su Shui squatted down and patted them heads, and she also wiped her forehead and dried her cold sweat. Taking a deep breath, she decided to approach the man.
Hope he wasn’t dead… but looking at the multiple deep wounds on his body, death was not a surprise outcome. Guess she really has to dig a hole for him to bury. Looking at the tall man in front her, Su Shuilian couldn't help but already feel her hands numbing…. To dig a hole for this man, how much deep would she have to dig ah?
She walked closer to man to size him up, looking at his bloody body she could not help but wrinkle her brow. She look a closer look at his face. He was frowning, his face pale white, as if drained of blood.
Frowning? Su Shuilian crouched down and try to endure her urge to frown, she then put her finger under the man’s nose! After a while, she let out a blooming smile, good he was alive! However his breathing was faint, and most people would think he were dead.
"Xiǎochún, be good and help me bring my bag to me." Su Shuilian patted the wolf cub’s head and pointed at the previous resting location behind the bushes. The little wolf wagged its tail, indicating that it understood her, it quickly ran to get her bag, bringing the tiger skin as well.
Su Shuilian opened the baggage, took out the crystal gourd containing the green liquid. She also took out a wooden spoon, carefully she poured the liquid into the man’s mouth. She closed his mouth, not letting the liquid go to waste and pinched his nose to let him swallow.
This amount should be able to save his life. Previously she had used a tiny amount on her cut skin, and it healed. So ingesting this should help stop the blood lost. Watching him, Shuilian felted relieved when she saw that the man’s face gradually gained so color on his face.
At the same time, Shuilian swept her gaze onto the man’s bloody attire. His body was full of wounds, especially on his chest and abdomen. If let untreated, she feared that it will get badly infected.
Without a second though, Shuilian used her dagger to cut apart his clothing to take a closer look at his wounds. Looking at his body, she forced down her urge to vomit and start to gently apply the liquid onto his body with her hands.
Until the all the blood was seen to have clotted did she stop applying. From her bag, she took out her only cotton clothing, with her dagger, she cut it into long strips of cloth and bandaged his wounds. When she camped with her cousin, she had picked up the way he had treated her. Until the foul smell of blood was gone did she stop bandaging his body.
Washing her hands at the nearby creek, Shuilian soaked the rest of the cloth with the water and brought it to the man to wipe his face of sweat. It was a hot summer day, just doing these few actions caused her to perspire a lot ah. However, looking at the man who was now cleaned up without any visible signs of blood, it was much more pleasing to her eyes.
After Shuilian had left the cave, the man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with a cold chill.
