Chapter 238 The Miao Youth is a Proud Male Supporting Character (5)
Over the past few days, under Suhebei's careful care, Lin Shen has gradually gotten used to recuperating in this peaceful place.
The air here is fresh and the environment is pleasant, as if isolated from the world.
The white-haired old man treated Lin Shen with extraordinary enthusiasm. Not only did he come to visit Lin Shen in person, he also expressed his welcome to Lin Shen to live here for a long time.
Su Hebei took meticulous care of Lin Shen. Not only did he prepare various elixirs for Lin Shen, he also stayed by Lin Shen's side day and night, fearing that he would feel unwell.
With the nourishment of the elixir, Lin Shen's body recovered quickly.
From being bedridden at first to being able to sit up and take medicine on his own now, Lin Shen clearly felt his health improving.
Whenever Lin Shen took medicine, Su Hebei would always stand by and watch with concern. After Lin Shen finished drinking the medicine, he would thoughtfully prepare a lot of candied fruits for him to ease the bitterness of the medicine.
Today, Lin Shen had just finished taking his medicine and Su Hebei handed him candied fruit as usual.
However, this time he did not leave immediately, but looked at Lin Shen with burning eyes.
Lin Shen looked up in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" Su Hebei hesitated for a moment and said, "The weather is good today, I'll take you out for a walk."
Lin Shen looked out the window and saw the spring scenery, the sounds of insects and birds, which reminded him of the distant Miao area.
He nodded to show his agreement. Seeing Lin Shen agreed, Su Hebei happily stepped forward to help him up. Lin Shen supported Su Hebei's hand and stood up, and the two walked out slowly.
The sun was shining brightly, making him feel warm on the body. Lin Shen squinted his eyes comfortably.
Su Hebei looked at Lin Shen's profile. The fine hair on the boy's face looked particularly cute in the sunlight, but his face was a little pale.
He slightly clenched the hand that was supporting Lin Shen, and secretly swore in his heart that he must make Lin Shen fully recover.
The scenery along the way was breathtaking, and Lin Shen suggested going to the hilltop where they had sat last time.
Su Hebei readily agreed and carefully helped Lin Shen to the top of the hill.
The forest here is still dense, with numerous snakes, insects, birds and animals, but in this natural environment, Lin Shen and Su Hebei felt an unprecedented tranquility and comfort.
Lin Shen was carefully supported by Su Hebei and sat down on the soft grass.
Xiaobai, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, jumped from Lin Shen's arms and quickly went into the grass to play.
Lin Shen and Su Hebei sat back to back under a towering tree, enjoying the tranquility of nature.
Su Hebei had many questions in his mind. He wanted to ask why Lin Shen was so seriously injured. After all, when they parted, Lin Shen said he was going home.
But these questions were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to start.
He knew that Lin Shen was from Miaojiang. Although his martial arts skills were not top-notch, he was an expert in using poison and could kill people without them even noticing.
However, he also knew that although Lin Shen appeared arrogant on the surface, he was kind-hearted at heart and would not hurt others for no reason.
Su Hebei hesitated again and again, but never expressed the doubts in his mind.
Finally, it was Lin Shen who broke the silence. He turned to look at Su Hebei and asked, "Brother Su, why were you injured so badly last time?"
Su Hebei didn't expect Lin Shen to ask him this question in return. He was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "I wanted to investigate the truth of my parents' death, and traced it all the way to the prefect. Before I could take any action, I was hunted down, and then I was saved by you."
Lin Shen naturally knew what had happened to Su Hebei. He just wanted to know how much Su Hebei knew about the truth, so he asked this question.
Since Lin Shen had already spoken, Su Hebei no longer hesitated and directly asked the question in his mind: "Why did you get so seriously injured that day?"
Lin Shen turned his head and looked at Su Hebei calmly, saying calmly: "To kill a person, an enemy."
Su Hebei was stunned. He found that Lin Shen had changed since the first time he met him. Lin Shen used to be proud and noble, radiating confidence and sunshine. But now, although the pride was still there, there was a hint of silence and melancholy, as if he had experienced some major changes.
Su Hebei thought for a moment and asked, "What grudge?"
Lin Shen casually played with the little bugs crawling on the ground, with a hint of smile in the corner of his eyes, and said in a relaxed tone: "Revenge for the extermination of the family."
He spoke so lightly, as if he was talking about daily trivialities, but Su Hebei could feel the unusual aura.
Su Hebei was shocked. He realized that the Miao people might have encountered an accident, and Lin Shen's words confirmed his guess.
He was silent for a moment. Lin Shen left in a hurry that day, probably because he had sensed something.
He didn't know what to say, his heart was filled with pain and anger.
Finally, Su Hebei broke the silence. He held Lin Shen's hand tightly and said with a firm look in his eyes, "I can help you."
Lin Shen looked up at Su Hebei, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he said seriously: "I can help you too."
Su Hebei smiled and said, "Okay." The two held hands tightly.
?
The white-haired old man smiled and opened his bulging pockets, stuffing everything inside into Lin Shen's hands.
Lin Shen was a little stunned. He looked at the pile of bottles and jars and various herbs in his hands and looked at Su Hebei at a loss.
Su Hebei was standing aside. Seeing Lin Shen's look, he couldn't help laughing out loud, his eyes full of mockery.
Lin Shen swallowed and tried to find the right words to respond, but only uttered a weak “This…”
The white-haired old man did not allow him to refuse, and said with tears and snot: "Take them all, take them all, otherwise what will happen if you get sick outside? I, old man, am worried about you." His voice was full of concern and reluctance.
Lin Shen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he only called out "Mr. Xu, I..." and couldn't say anything else.
The white-haired old man sighed, his eyes showing deep love, then turned to look at Su Hebei, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Su Hebei, take good care of Xiaolin, understand?"
Su Hebei pursed his lips, nodded, his eyes full of smiles.
He had never seen Lin Shen so uneasy, and thought that Lin Shen looked even more adorable this way.
Amid the white-haired old man's pleading and crying, Suhebei and Lin Shen finally came down the mountain.
Only when he could no longer see the old man did Lin Shen breathe a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. At this moment, Su Hebei burst into laughter, and Lin Shen looked at him in confusion, revealing an unhappy expression on his face.
Su Hebei laughed happily and said loudly: "Hahaha, Brother Lin, I have never seen you so embarrassed."
Lin Shen touched his nose and said awkwardly: "This is me... leave me alone."
After saying that, Lin Shen walked forward angrily, trying to get rid of the embarrassment.
Su Hebei looked at Lin Shen's back with a smile, shouting, "I was wrong, Shen Shen..."
Then he hurried after them. Their figures were stretched longer and longer in the sunlight, their steps gradually became coordinated, and finally they walked side by side and disappeared at the bend of the mountain road.
