Chapter 112: Only You Can Touch

As the dew grew deeper and heavier, Su Yan added a copper-green tassel to the sandalwood-colored sticker, tidied up her crooked hair bun a little, and inserted a jade hairpin into it casually, so she followed Gao Shuo toward the outer courtyard.

Gao Shuo was walking along at a brisk pace, when he suddenly lost sight of Lord Su, and was busy looking back to find Su Yan holding onto a porch pillar and constantly inhaling.

“Is Lord Su physically ill?” He asked with concern.

Su Yan held up the porch pillar with one hand, one hand held up his aching waist, and smiled forcibly, “It’s not a problem, I accidentally twisted my waist.” Said gritted teeth, footsteps fluttering to follow up.

Gao Shuo looked at him in the lantern’s firelight, with a light greenish color piled up under his eyes, and obvious laboriousness at the corners of his eyebrows, as if he had been knocked out of his bones and squeezed out of his marrow, and his lips were so full and red as to be like fruits about to explode, so for a while he was somewhat unable to understand whether this was a deficiency of the body or a fire.

He kindly suggested, “I see that Lord Su’s face is not looking well, may I ask the doctor to take a peaceful pulse?”

Su Yan knows that he is the loss of yang qi, in case the doctor diagnosed an overindulgence that would be too much, busy waved his hand and said: “about the seasonal changes slightly uncomfortable, into some warm diet on the good.”

Gao Shuo didn’t go out to fool around with his colleagues much, and his experience in this area was shallow, so a little doubt turned up in his mind and was extinguished, but he kept in mind Shangguan Suo’s instructions sent by pigeon – beware of that jianghu grasshopper, and don’t let him have a chance to be alone with Su Yan.

Seriously this errand is not good to do, one step by step sticky tight, a frank and open and undefensive, not moving, “there is a chase accompanied by enough, you go down,” he was one of the guards is not good to openly oppose Su Yan’s instructions, can only be more staring in the back, in order to find a seedling can be extinguished in a timely manner.

Then he was depressed to find that the seedling is everywhere, and in a prairie fire, it is really not one person’s strength can not be defended.

I am too difficult …… He wrote a small note of intelligence to the Shangguan while longing, I still go back to the capital to continue to lie down on the official s house Road: “No one else is allowed to touch!”

Suyan had no choice but to wrap one arm around the back of Alertan’s neck, lifting it up with a circling hug-like effort, while his other hand quickly yanked the fabric off his upper body.

Inside the robe there was no lining on the upper body and a pair of pants underneath. The bushy, tree-shaped tattoo had a crown perched right at the small of his back, with the trunk crossing over his bellybutton and down, deep into his pants.

Su Yan looked at the abs and tattoos that were close at hand, and for no reason her chest burned hot, and a thin layer of redness floated on her cheeks.

He mentally grunted, “I had eight-pack abs in my past life, what’s so rare about that?” as he blushed and peeled off the other man’s pants, revealing a pair of rather short crotch shorts.

The shorts were bulging, he was dead set on not taking them off. Greeting the guards to move closer to the candlelight, Su Yan carefully examined Altan’s whole body and found that there was only one wound on his back.

At that moment Gao Shuo arrived with two doctors, one in his sixties and one in his prime.

The Valar people have a higher tolerance for the doctor, but they are still not allowed to touch Alertan’s abdomen when they visit the doctor, for fear of tarnishing the sacred tree tattoo, Su Yan had to find a piece of pad, cover the tattoo, and use his hand to gently press it.

After seeing the patient, the doctor dipped the flying needles in the potion again and tried to analyze the toxicity.

After a long time of discernment, and not being able to tell, he took another black sheep to test the poison.

Sheep just received a needle, the whole body black hair gradually faded into gray-white, not long after the limbs twitching, fell dead. Su Yan took out the horse market newly bought Western pocket watch timing, before and after only five minutes.

The old man finally shook his head regretfully: ”Forgive me for not being a good doctor. This poison is overbearing and bizarre, this northern guest was hit by the needle two hours ago, it’s already a miracle that he can survive until now, unless we find the person who made the poison, get the poison formula, and then mix the corresponding antidote, otherwise there’s nothing I can do.”

On the couch, Altan suddenly convulsed, first at the ends of his limbs and quickly spreading throughout his body.

The middle-aged doctor called out, “He’s poisoned on his last journey, I’m afraid he won’t make it!”

The Vaishnavian men panicked and screamed a string of words over and over again in the barbarian language.

Suyan, also in a cold sweat, tried to press his hand against Altan’s twitching limbs.

The handkerchief covering the tattoo slipped off the couch. The strip of gauze that Su Yan had used to bandage the wound on his palm also fell off during the other party’s near-death struggle.

Alertan’s body as if an electric shock like a shrug leap, steeply quiet. Suyan lay almost entirely on top of him, his head covered in sweat, and seized his heart to touch the side of his neck.

No Pulse ……

Su Yan whimpered in despair, beads of sweat beating down from the corners of his eyes in large chunks, like tears falling in droves.

Just then, his fingertips suddenly felt a slight throbbing, one at a time, from light to heavy, gradually becoming clearer.

Suyan froze, the burning sensation rising from the palm of his other hand.

He lifted the wounded hand as if on fire. The palm was found to be pressed against Altan’s abdomen, and the unhealed wound opened up and let out a small amount of blood, which happened to be imprinted on the tree-shaped tattoo, staining the ebony wood with blood.

Su Yan used his sleeve to wipe it off, only to find that the tattoo was incredibly hot, while the stained blood couldn’t be wiped off, as if it had seeped deep into the muscle.

In a state of disorientation, Su Yan felt that the tree was sucking, twitching, and expanding, and that it was going to unfurl its topsy-turvy, massive body and cover the entire firmament with its branches and leaves.

It wasn’t until he was awakened by his guards that he realized that the tattoo was still only the size of a bushel, and that Altan, who was pinned underneath him, was still unconscious, but his breath was gradually steadying out and he was breathing weakly but consistently.

The doctor took his pulse and said that the toxin was still in his body, but had been suppressed by something, and that his life was out of danger for the time being, and that he might be able to endure for a few more days.

Wala Hanzi rushed out of the door of the tent, kneeling down and bowing to worship the Everlasting Sky, their mouths gibbering and shouting, and all of them were in tears.

Su Yan was still in a daze, feeling that this scene of dying and coming back to life was a bit fantastical.

But Alertan was alive, and he was heartily glad for it, silently thanking the main gods of Taoism, Buddhism, and the major religions of the foreign world for a round of thanksgiving, and wishing them to continue their efforts to reach the peaks of the miraculous.

In the end he was helped off of Altan with the help of the brocade guards, his arms and legs aching and weak.

On the Qing Shui River pasture, Chu Yuan’s men galloped in, lifted the curtain and entered the tent, reporting to Su Yan: “Commander Chu has checked the roster one by one, and Senator Huo’s command is indeed missing five people.”

“What did Huo say?” Su Yan sat on the edge of the couch and took the facecloth to wipe his sweat. Gao Shuo half-kneeled to re-bandage his palm wound.

“Senator Huo said that the five soldiers had disappeared for no apparent reason, and that they had been discovered during the evening food roll call, and had thought that they had run away in a group, and were about to lead a team to catch them.”

Su Yan dropped his facecloth and got up, saying to the other face, “Take me to see the bodies of those five people.”

Before he left the tent, he hesitated a little, turned back, and dressed the nearly naked Alertan with his own hands again.

Before leaving, he touched the light green hair band that was wrapped around the other party’s left arm. The end of the hairband hung down, and the bamboo leaf-shaped jade pieces tapped against each other, emitting a very slight clear sound.

“Altan,” Suyan said softly, like a plea and like a command, “live.”
