C160 (1/2)

That was because from the moment she first saw him, she had fallen in love with him. She had long been in a relationship with him. If she didn't marry him in this life, who else could she marry?

”Miss, there's something in the river!”

Suddenly, the voice of the maidservant came over, pulling Ye Luoli back from his thoughts. She wiped away her tears randomly and quickly ran to the side of the river.

Following the direction of the pinky finger, you could vaguely see a heavy object floating on the surface of the river. It seemed to have drifted down from the direction of Southern Frontier.

Under the urge of her curiosity, she and her servant girl tidied up a sack and dragged it to the river. She took a long time to untie the knotted knot that had been tied to the sack.

”Ah …”

Ye Luoli's hands trembled as he carefully opened the bag. The next second, she was scared stiff.

She had not expected that there was a girl in the sack. The woman's face was deathly pale, even whiter than snow.

However, her face had long since changed after soaking in it for so long. She looked like a demon from hell, eerie and frightening.

”Miss, you seem to still be breathing.”

Just a tiny sniff of the girl's breath showed that her life was in danger.

”Xiaoxiao, find a few people to bring her back. Since we've met, we can't ignore her.”

Ye Luoli said calmly, and could not wait any further instructions.

She felt the woman's body being dragged out of the wet sack, and then she set up the fire in an attempt to warm her.

There were no injuries on the woman's body, so she came here in one breath.

Ye Luoli looked at the rushing river, his black eyes gleaming with a cold light, like a deep ocean, unfathomable.

Just what kind of cruel person was he to be able to leave a dying person without the slightest wound? It was truly inconceivable.

The night was dark and cold like cold water, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, which made it seem especially frightening in the darkness.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion's Luo Li's courtyard, it was brightly lit. Each maidservant was carefully carrying the blood water gate.

The yard was filled with the thick smell of blood. A gust of wind blew over, blowing it into the air.

Ye Luoli, on the other hand, was like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth in the courtyard, anxiously.

Following that, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the most famous Doctor Wang of Xiangfan City walked out.

Ye Luoli was overjoyed, and anxiously went forward to inquire about the situation inside.

”Doctor, how is the woman inside?”

She stood in front of Doctor Wang, excitedly holding onto his hand. Her eyes were filled with anxiety.

Since she had interfered, she must save the girl.

”Miss Ye, this lady has been deeply poisoned, this old man has already given her blood for treatment. But because she was not treated in time, the poison had already penetrated every inch of her body. This old man was not confident that he could save her. It's all up to the will of the heavens. ”

Dr. Wang stroked his gray beard, his eyes shining with an unfathomable light.

He had practiced medicine for dozens of years, but he had never seen a person who could survive after being poisoned for so many days.

But there were many and complex toxins in her body, and there was even something called a Gu worm hidden inside.

This was also the reason why she couldn't save him.

”Doctor Wang, sorry for troubling you.” ”Xiaoxiao, escort Doctor Wang out.”

Hearing his words, Ye Luoli frowned, the fog in his heart had finally been cleared.

She said that she had been floating for so long, how could she have survived?

After everyone had left, Ye Luoli sat on the side of the bed, gently caressing the woman's pale face, wanting to see where the so-called Gu worm was hiding.

However, even after she looked for a long time, she couldn't find anything.

”Don't worry, I'll definitely save you.”

Ye Luoli caressed the girl's weak pulse, and muttered softly.

Five years ago, her mother went to the Xi Liang and upon returning, she became infected with this damned parasite.

As for her father, after he found out that her mother had been drugged, he only coldly said:

”Since this Gu is unable to be cured, you can live the rest of your life in peace. Li'er, I will take good care of her.”

At that time, she had been hiding outside the door, watching her mother painfully beg her father to save her. She had even said that she regretted doing those shameful things for her father.

Her father looked down at her condescendingly. Other than the boundless coldness in his eyes, there was nothing else. No matter how much his mother begged, he was unmoved.

At the time, she hated her father so much that she even thought that her father had killed her.
