Chapter 403: Encounter Danger

406. Chapter 406 Encounter Danger

Lu Yin Song's wheelchair, though fairly maneuverable, can't compensate for his immobile legs, which severely limit his movement.

Xiang Gugu, after the initial terror, calmed down and screamed as she rushed out.

Her shout provoked the men in black, making them attack even more ferociously.

Because they knew the guard protecting Sui Sui was standing outside the forest, not far away.

A single scream from Xiang Gugu and they would be here in just a few breaths.

So, hurry!

Moreover, their goal isn't murder; they just want to snatch and leave, nothing else is their concern.

They want to rob, but Lu Yin Song won't allow it!

His sister was with him; if she were truly lost, he would certainly feel guilty.

Even if the two only met by chance.

But thinking of the little girl's pure eyes and innocent expression.

Lu Yin Song again felt he couldn't rest easy.

Thus, regardless of how the black‑clad swordsmen came at him, Lu Yin Song did his utmost to protect Sui Sui.

At first they hesitated to kill, but after realizing Lu Yin Song's side couldn't be breached after a long assault, they grew impatient.

Footsteps sounded outside the woods, clearly someone was approaching.

It could be the rescuing guard.

They have no time!

Thinking this, one of the men in black tossed a black pill.

The object hit the ground, turning into a puff of white smoke that instantly blurred the entire view.

At the same time, the swords of three black‑clad men pointed straight at Lu Yin Song, completely disregarding that he was the Guó Gōng Mansion's young master, a person of high status; if killed, the Guó Gōng Mansion might never rest!

At this moment, they couldn't care less!

They only remembered their mission.

Charge forward, kill that young master, snatch that child!

The three swords flew in together; Lu Yin Song couldn't block them outright, being merely mortal.

So he thrust the wheelchair forward at speed and then backed away.

Retreating backward, the terrain was unknown and actually quite dangerous.

But now they could only survive within the danger!

Lu Yin Song shouted loudly, "Sister, hold on tight!"

Then he pushed the wheelchair's wheels with both hands, nearly sparking them.

Sui Sui at this moment lay on Lu Yin Song's lap, her whole body in a strange posture, stretched across his front.

Sui Sui, still unaware of what was happening, began to feel dizzy and nauseous.

Lu Yin Song's speed was too fast.

He had trained in martial arts before; even though his leg injury had delayed him for a while, he never relaxed his training afterward.

Especially after the leg injury, he relied more on upper‑body strength, so his training could not be reduced.

Thus, hand‑spinning the wheelchair, his speed was blazing.

The three black‑clad pursuers used trees and other leverage to chase, but never caught up.

But such speed sometimes has drawbacks.

For example…

The road ahead was poor; in an instant he saw a landslide.

Lu Yin Song didn't even have time to hand‑brake the wheelchair before he, the chair, and Sui Sui in his arms tumbled down.

The slope was fairly long; midway, the wheelchair vanished from sight.

When Lu Yin Song recovered, he stretched out a long arm, snatched Sui Sui back, pressed her tightly to his chest, and used his other hand to shield her head.

As for himself…

Lu Yin Song thought, "What a lousy fate, let it be."

At least, before dying he could keep a sister alive; that's good enough.

Sui Sui, so cute with bright eyes, will have a better, longer life.

So Lu Yin Song did his utmost to protect Sui Sui's head, not to injure it.

If other parts get hurt, just nurse them.

If the head gets smashed and she becomes stupid, that would be a pity.

Lu Yin Song himself knew what it felt like to have a broken leg and a crippled body.

Therefore, he didn't want Sui Sui to become a simpleton.

The two rolled and crawled along; terrified, Sui Sui even forgot to scream, only extending her tiny hands to cling tightly to Fourth Brother.

But her hands were too short to loop around Fourth Brother's broad shoulders, so she could only grab his clothing.

Even so, Sui Sui held on tightly, not letting go at all, and in her mind she anxiously asked the system, "Le Le, we won't die, will we?"

They had been rolling for half a day, yet still hadn't stopped.

Sui Sui didn't understand the situation.

Moreover, Fourth Brother's leg still couldn't move.

The system soothed Sui Sui, "Don't panic, don't be afraid, Sui Sui, it's just a small hill."

Under normal circumstances, it truly is just a small hill.

But…

Recently it rained, a section was washed away, revealing a wide earthen ditch that stretched all the way to the other side.

Sui Sui and Lu Yin Song were rolling along, but the force was a bit off, so they turned into this mountain ditch.

By then, the place where they had fallen was getting farther and farther away.

When the two finally reached flat ground and stopped, Sui Sui was already in so much pain she kept groaning.

This was still the result of Lu Yin Song protecting her; if it weren't for Fourth Brother protecting her, Sui Sui felt she would probably have died on the way.

Along the way, Lu Yin Song was knocked by stones, hit by tree roots, and tormented by all sorts of things.

But he didn't make a sound.

If it weren't that after they stopped he fainted with a deathly pale face, Sui Sui would still have thought Fourth Brother was super strong, uninjured all the way, so he didn't feel pain.

At this moment, Lu Yin Song's forehead was drenched in sweat, the corners of his lips grayish, his brows tightly furrowed, and his teeth clenched tightly.

He was afraid of scaring his sister, so he endured the pain.

After landing safely, he finally couldn't hold on and fainted outright.

Before fainting, he still clung tightly to Sui Sui.

Sui Sui expended a lot of effort before she managed to crawl out of Lu Yin Song's embrace.

After crawling out, she first softly called out: "Fourth Brother?"

No response.

This made Sui Sui a little panicked; she stepped forward and gently tugged at the corner of Lu Yin Song's clothes: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother!"

【He fainted from pain, Sui Sui.】

The system promptly spoke up with a reminder.

After hearing that, Sui Sui panicked: "What should we do?"

She hadn't controlled herself; she just blurted it out.

The system comforted her while thinking of a solution: "【Don't be scared, Father King, Mother Consort, and even Daddy will come to save you; just wait quietly.】"

After comforting Sui Sui, the system checked Lu Yin Song's physical condition.

He had many bumps and bruises; one arm was likely fractured.

On one leg, there was an especially long gash.

At this point, what he needed most was to stop the bleeding.

But Sui Sui...

The system wasn't sure if it could be done.

But if we let Sui Sui bear a life like this, she might never be able to escape this nightmare for the rest of her life.

So the system quickly spoke up: "【His thigh is bleeding; we need to stop the bleeding now, Sui Sui, you can do it, right? I'll teach you—go find some herbs, and we'll first treat Fourth Brother's wound.】"
