Shengjing Noble

Chapter 398 Penniless

"There is no way out, what should we do?" Su Lanyin asked nervously.

Fu Wuyang glanced at the rushing river behind him, then looked at the wolves that were running towards him.

Rather than being torn to pieces and swallowed by these wolves, it is better to take a gamble and maybe have a chance of survival.

He hugged Su Lanyin's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Do you believe me?"

"A letter!" She replied almost instantly, decisively and resolutely without any hesitation.

Fu Wuyang curled up a smile, held her tightly in his arms, and then jumped into the river under the cliff.

Su Lanyin huddled in his arms with her eyes tightly closed, not daring to open them, waiting for the imagined excruciating pain of her bones breaking apart.

But when I really fell into the water, there was no severe pain except for some mitigated impact.

Then, the two were washed away by the river. The wolves could only stand on the cliff and look down. They howled unwillingly a few times and then turned and left.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Lanyin dragged Fu Wuyang onto the shore.

She leaned against a rock beside her, gasping for breath. After she eased a little, she immediately stood up to check on Fu Wuyang's condition.

He held her tightly in his arms as a cushion, so he fell very badly. There were signs of broken ribs, and many abrasions on his body. Even his clothes were torn, and he bled a lot.

It seemed that he had hit a rock or something when being washed by the river water, but even so, he did not touch Su Lanyin, for fear of hitting her at all.

Looking at the man's pale face, Su Lanyin immediately took first aid measures on him, first pressing his chest, then breathing into him through her mouth. She repeated this several times, but there was no sign of improvement.

This time, she was completely panicked and even forgot to take his pulse. Tears welled up in her eyes and she cried like a baby.

"Fu Wuyang, wake up, don't scare me... Please, I won't run around anymore, Fu Wuyang, I beg you, wake up..."

She cried and shouted for a long time, but the man lying on the ground didn't respond.

Su Lanyin took a deep breath and finally regained a bit of sanity.

Crying won’t solve the problem, she has to continue rescuing!

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin pressed his chest again, then lowered her head and gave him air through her mouth.

But this time, as soon as she lowered her head to touch his lips, a big hand grabbed the back of her head.

"Uh……"

Su Lanyin widened her eyes in horror and met the man's smiling eyes in disbelief. Only then did she realize that he had woken up and was just playing a trick on her!

"Ugh...let...let go!"

She pushed him away angrily, then sat on the ground and moved back, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth with an unhappy look.

"You...you did this on purpose, didn't you? Do you think it's fun to play tricks on me?"

Fu Wuyang wanted to sit up but felt a dull pain in his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

“Ugh… it hurts!”

He couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and tried to raise his head and looked at Su Lanyin for help.

"Ayin, help me up."

"A-Ayin?"

Su Lanyin was stunned for a moment and was very surprised by his address.

No, who allowed him to shout?

She sat there awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Fu Wuyang had no choice but to repeat: "Ayin, help me up."

"Oh."

Su Lanyin reacted and immediately stood up and helped him sit up, and asked carefully and concernedly: "Does it hurt a lot? Can you walk?"

"It should be possible..." Fu Wuyang frowned in pain.

"Besides your chest, where else does it hurt?"

"It hurts everywhere." He said with a bit of grievance.

"By the way, I brought medicine, just bear with it."

Su Lanyin remembered the medicine she carried with her and quickly took it out to give it to him.

Fortunately, she had the habit of putting the medicine into porcelain bottles and sealing them, so after soaking in water for a long time, the medicine remained intact.

At critical moments, good habits can save lives.

After applying medicine to Fu Wuyang's wounds and feeding him a pain-relieving pill, he finally stood up.

"The wolf king is very smart. If he chases us with his pack of wolves, we will surely die. So we must quickly get out of the forest and join the main force."

"Well, let's go downstream first. Even if we can't find them, at least we can go down the mountain and return to the city first."

"it is good."

Su Lanyin supported Fu Wuyang and walked downstream step by step along the river.

……

As night fell, they finally returned to the town where they had stayed before the city gates were locked and found a new inn.

The shopkeeper said, "Two rooms, right? Please pay the money and I will ask the waiter to take you upstairs."

"Okay." Su Lanyin touched her body, her face froze, and she quickly turned around and asked, "My wallet seems to have been washed away by the water. Do you have any money on you?"

Fu Wuyang frowned: "I usually have followers with me and rarely bring silver."

This was awkward. Su Lanyin looked at the shopkeeper with flattery in her eyes.

"Boss, can you be flexible? We'll pay you double the room fee tomorrow when we meet up with our friends."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't sell on credit. If you don't have money to stay in the hotel, please leave quickly and don't delay my business."

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the waiter to chase the two of them out.

Su Lanyin supported Fu Wuyang and stood at the door of the inn. For the first time, she experienced what it meant to be unable to make a hero fall for a penny.

Fu Wuyang sighed helplessly. He had never been in such an embarrassing situation in his life.

"If you can't do it, just pawn my jade pendant first."

Fu Wuyang glanced at the auspicious cloud jade pendant hanging around his waist and knew it was priceless from its quality.

But more importantly, his name is engraved on the jade pendant. It is a jade pendant belonging to King Xiaoyao. How can it be pawned so easily?

"No."

"What should I do?"

Su Lanyin was a little annoyed: "If I had known earlier, I would have worn more gold and silver jewelry on a daily basis, and I wouldn't be so poor."

"It's okay. Since we can't stay at the inn, let's find another place to rest."

"That's all."

……

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang asked around on the road, and finally a kind-hearted person told them that there was a dilapidated temple not far to the south where they could rest.

So the two of them found the dilapidated temple.

Although it was very shabby and there were holes in the roof, at least there were windproof walls on all four sides, so it was not a problem to stay there for one night.

The two of them went in, and Su Lanyin found a corner that was close to the wall, spread some weeds on it, and let Fu Wuyang sit down against the wall.

"Your Majesty, you take a rest first. I'll go look for something to eat nearby."

She turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Ayin."

"Hmm?" Su Lanyin turned around, and it seemed that she had accepted this title silently.

"Take this."

He put the only valuable jade pendant on him into her hand.

"If you really can't find anything to eat, just pawn it first. After all, things are dead, but people are alive. I can't let you starve."
