Chapter 232 - Imprisonment (2/2)

A broken leg? That explains why Rong is lying down here steadily.

“Is it your thigh or your shank?”

“My left shank.” Rong answers. He feels blue because he thinks he has slowed Lin down.

Lin smiles, “Don’t worry. Let me have a look at it.” Having a broken leg is certainly not good news. However, compared to a thigh fracture, a shank fracture doesn’t affect people’s activities so much. After all, Lin Luoran can’t just cast a “Healing Spell” to cure Rong since her Wakan is out of use right now.

Lin carefully rolls up Rong’s trousers. His shank is in a weird angle. It is indeed a bone fracture.

Lin Luoran is not a professional doctor. Nevertheless, she has studied medical skills in order to make better boluses. Medical science and pharmacy have similar origins. Lin values the s.p.a.ce in her bead so much that she wants to utilize it to the maximum extent. Therefore, she must be able to know the symptom of the patients in order to cure them.

Rong’s shank is swollen. The dark red part on it is the exact location of the fracture.

“Here, eat this peach. Do you want an apple or some grapes?” Lin Luoran takes a ripe peach out of her s.p.a.ce and gives it to Rong.

Rong swallows the saliva in his mouth as soon as he sees the peach. He has been in pain for a long time and he is thirsty. Though he doesn’t know how Lin Luoran manages to take the peach with her, he certainly loves it.

Rong accepts the peach and feels grat.i.tude for Lin’s thoughtfulness. He takes a bite. The peach tastes even better than those he used to eat at Lin’s house. The thing is, he remembers that the peach tree in the back yard of Lin’s house just bloomed before they left. How can the peach ripe so fast?

Rong Donglin is fully immersed in the taste of the peach. Suddenly, he feels a sharp pain in his shank. Rong is immediately soaked by sweat. He stares at Lin Luoran with the peach pit in his mouth.

“Alright, I’ve fixed your bone. Stay put. I’ll apply some medicine to your leg.”

“Miss Lin, you’re so awesome! You really used the peach as a distraction!” Rong thinks.

Lin Luoran takes some herbs from her s.p.a.ce and applies their juice on Rong’s leg. Then she goes to find a wooden board and some clothes to keep his leg in place.

The pain in Rong’s leg is eased. Rong has a feeling that the herbs Lin gave him are definitely extraordinary. He wants to say something but hesitates.

“Be careful for the next a few days. You’ll be ok.”

The herbs Lin used on Rong’s leg are the ingredients of third-grade elixirs. Detumescence is only one of their efficacies. To be honest, this is such a waste.

However, Lin is willing to use them as long as Rong can be ok.

The two of them are on the web in the mid-air. They can’t even tell day from night. Lin Luoran’s Wakan is out of use and she is not able to find the end of the valley with her spiritual mind. The only thing they can do is chat.

Rong tells Lin that he noticed the weird patterns on the tile. He touched it and fell down here. He couldn’t control his speed of falling, so he bounced up on the web and broke his leg on a rock.

Lin tells Rong that she can’t cast any spell right now. Rong can’t help being worried. Lin’s composure gives him confidence.

Rong didn’t find that telescope? Lin thinks about the strangeness silently.

“Miss Lin, where are we? The bamboo sheets never record a place like this.” They have been talking for so long that Rong almost has nothing interesting to say but to tell Lin the story he once set a girl’s hair on fire at the elementary school.

Lin Luoran answers vaguely, “I guess we’re at the prison of the Dragon Palace. n.o.body can get out of here easily.”

Lin looks at Rong. He has fallen asleep.

The more Lin thinks about this, the more she believes that she is in a prison. This is the only explanation of her loss of Wakan.

What a bad luck!

Lin and Rong have no idea how long they’ve spent on the web. They eat the fruits and salmon in Lin’s s.p.a.ce when they’re hungry.

They sleep when they’re tired. Without Wakan, Lin can’t cultivate herself by mediation. She must sleep in order to gain more energy.

They have enough food and drinks to support a few leisure days. The only bad thing is that they smell bad because there is no place to shower.

One time, Rong Donglin wakes up and sees Lin’s eyes s.h.i.+ning in the dark. He s.h.i.+vers,

“Miss Lin.”

“Rong, this is not the solution. Shall we try to go down there today?”

Go down? Rong throws a rock down to the valley. He doesn’t hear the sound of the rock landing on the ground. How should they go down to such a deep valley?
