Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 1214 Burial Ground
Hearing Fatty's words, Jiang Cheng lost his appetite. He dropped his chopsticks, turned, and put on his coat. "Pay the bill, we're going back."
It was already three or four in the afternoon when they returned to the Su manor. As the mission deadline approached, the flow of time seemed to be changing. Entering the bedroom, they saw Song Keli still lying on the bed, his eyes vacant. Li Bai and Lin Qianqian were guarding nearby, while Ding Zhenzong was sleeping soundly in a corner.
Looking around, Li Shanru was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is she?" Fatty asked anxiously, "Li Shanru?"
"Yao Shunyu took her away," Lin Qianqian said in a pitiful voice.
Hearing the sound, Ding Zhenzong got up, squinting his eyes and smirking, "You all know Yao Shunyu's temper. Li Shanru injured him, so he's definitely going to get his face back. Li Shanru... tsk tsk, her ending probably won't be good, but don't worry, he knows his limits, he won't kill her."
Fatty turned and went out. Jiang Cheng followed behind him. They searched all three floors but couldn't find them. Finally, Jiang Cheng saw them looking out the window.
In the courtyard outside, in front of a rockery, Li Shanru was left in the sun to bake, while Yao Shunyu sat cross-legged in the shade of the rockery, with a food box and tea in front of him.
Looking at Li Shanru's red skin, it was clear she had been left there for quite some time.
"We all know what's going to happen to her, but aren't you going too far?" Fatty asked Yao Shunyu.
Yao Shunyu sipped his tea and smiled, "Miss Li said she was cold, so I brought her out to sunbathe. What, is it any of your business?"
"She's already like this, is it really necessary to torment her?" Fatty pointed to the dying Li Shanru. He didn't understand what kind of psychological pleasure this would bring Yao Shunyu, but after all, Li Shanru would die tonight, couldn't he just let her go even then?
"This is my business, it's none of your business." Yao Shunyu seemed to harbor a deep resentment towards this woman, not giving an inch. He stared at Fatty and said, "Fatty, I don't have time to deal with you right now, don't make me angry."
Being yelled at by Yao Shunyu, Fatty actually stopped talking. He looked at Li Shanru on the ground with pity. Li Shanru's eyes were closed tightly, her eyebrows twitching from time to time. Her limbs had been dislocated, and she was now a useless person at his mercy.
He didn't want to cause trouble, not for himself. After all, the doctor was here, and he didn't want to make an enemy for the doctor.
After a moment, a reliable voice sounded behind him, "Fatty, go carry her back." Jiang Cheng's words were for Fatty, but his eyes were on Yao Shunyu.
Yao Shunyu slowly stood up from the ground. The atmosphere was thick with tension. He wasn't afraid of this Wang Fugui, but he couldn't quite figure out this Jiang Cheng.
"Oh dear, you're all here. Hurry back, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Yuan have returned, and they said they brought back very important information." Lin Qianqian popped out of nowhere.
"Okay, we'll go back now," Jiang Cheng replied.
A crisis was defused invisibly. Fatty picked up the dying Li Shanru, seeing her cracked lips trembling slightly. Fatty leaned closer and heard her saying "water."
Not avoiding Yao Shunyu, Fatty directly picked up the teapot and gave Li Shanru some water.
Back in the bedroom, everyone was there. Luo Tianhe talked about their gains on this trip. He said that he and Yuan Shanyuan had contacted some people who were friends of the late Mr. Ke Gong, and they would come to support them at 12 o'clock tonight.
After speaking, Yuan Shanyuan looked up at Jiang Cheng and said with a smile, "This should all be thanks to young friend Jiang, but this old bone of mine has taken the credit. Please don't blame me."
Jiang Cheng roughly understood and said politely, "It seems that Mr. Yuan, Mr. Luo, and I are looking for the same group of people."
"That's right, it's just that we took different routes, but the final result is the same." Yuan Shanyuan was full of amiability, and his voice sounded like a kind old man.
After things were arranged, everyone went to find a place to rest.
The group also arranged a room for Li Shanru, on the third floor, the one in the very middle, very easy to find.
This was her final resting place.
After everyone had arranged things, they left one after another. There was no need to inject too much emotion into a dying person, because it was unnecessary and worthless. Yao Shunyu didn't forget to whistle at Li Shanru as he left.
After Fatty carried her into the room, he originally planned to leave, but for some reason, he stopped. He stood outside the door and looked inside. The room was relatively dark, and the surroundings were very quiet. Li Shanru was lying alone on the cold ground, with a mobile phone thrown beside her.
Thinking that this woman was going to wait for death alone in this environment, Fatty felt cruel.
"I... I want to stay a little longer," Fatty said to Jiang Cheng, who was waiting outside the door.
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, didn't say much, and turned to leave. Tonight was safe, so everyone chose their rooms, this time the standard was comfort first.
Fatty walked over, picked up Li Shanru, and helped her to lean against a wall, her upper body against the wall, barely able to support herself.
"How are you?" Fatty asked softly.
Seeming to sense something, Li Shanru struggled to open her eyes. She was very weak, and it took a long time for her eyes to focus. The injuries on her body plus a whole day of exposure to the sun had tormented her beyond recognition. "It's you..."
"It's me." Fatty nodded, and then picked up the teapot he had brought. "Are you thirsty? Do you want more water?"
"Yes."
Fatty wiped the spout of the teapot with his sleeve and fed Li Shanru. She drank almost all the water in the teapot in one breath, and then choked, coughing violently.
Fatty helped her pat her back to soothe her, but he was worried that her body was too weak to withstand the force, so he could only pat her gently, little by little. "How is it, are you feeling better?"
It took a long time for Li Shanru to stop, turned her head to look at him, her voice hoarse, "Thank you."
Looking at this dying person, Fatty was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say to her. Any words of comfort were too pale and weak at this moment, and he didn't want to deceive her. In the end, he could only sigh.
"I'm the one who's going to die, why are you sighing?" Li Shanru leaned against the wall, turned her head to look at Fatty.
"I don't know, I just hate it when someone dies in front of me, it makes me feel useless. My brother died to save me, but I... I can't do anything." Fatty squatted in front of Li Shanru, looking down.
"Someone was willing to risk their life to save you, why do you think your life is useless?" Li Shanru questioned.
