YM778.TV Chapter 339 - 339 Short of Money
“The Great Yong Dynasty.”
Lin Ran replied casually and reached out to turn the other party’s face to him. “Look carefully. Do you know me?”
“You are…”
!!
The young man was stunned for a few seconds before his confused eyes gradually focused. Then, Lin Ran felt the young man grit his teeth as if he wanted to sit up, but he was too seriously injured. He tried a few times but failed.
“If you have something to say, say it. Don’t waste time.”
Lin Ran pressed him down harder and frowned impatiently. “Tell me, do you know me or not?”
“You’re Lin Ran!”
The young man replied weakly but excitedly, “We’ve seen each other in Nanjiang Town!”
“It’s indeed Nanjiang Town.”
Lin Ran thought to himself and continued to ask, “You just sent a message saying that Town Guardian Liu is in trouble. Are you talking about Liu Ruxi?”
The young man nodded slightly. Lin Ran asked again, “Don’t you know that I almost killed her last time? Now, you’re asking me for help. Did someone hit your brain?”
“No, once Town Guardian Liu dies, we’ll all be finished. Only you can save her now!”
The young man shook his head. Lin Ran made an “I’m all ears” expression and waited for him to continue, but the young man kept quiet.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the young man didn’t speak, Lin Ran was about to ask again when Ye Jin suddenly said weakly, “Well… he seems to have fainted again…”
“What?”
Lin Ran was stunned. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was indeed the case. Although the young man was still looking at him with his eyes open, his eyes were starting to lose focus. It was obvious that he was no longer conscious.
Seeing this, Lin Ran immediately felt a little angry. However, since the young man was injured so badly, he couldn’t force him.
The most important thing now was to heal the young man as soon as possible. Even though Lin Ran had tried his best to stabilize his out-of-control internal energy, the damage to his meridians was very bad. It was impossible to heal him with just the wood ash.
After Lin Ran slapped the young man two times, the young man still didn’t react. Lin Ran sighed and said helplessly, “Forget it. Let him rest here first. Let’s go back to the city to get some medicine.”
When Ye Jin heard this,s he hesitated. “But won’t he run around when he wakes up while we’re gone?”
“…That seems to be the case.”
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully and looked at Ye Jin inquiringly. “Why don’t you keep an eye on him here?”
Ye Jin raised her eyebrows. “Do you know where to buy medicine?”
Lin Ran was speechless. “Then I’ll keep an eye on him here?”
Ye Jin stood up to pat Lin Ran’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. I have an idea.’
After saying that, Ye Jin turned around and walked to the side. She cut a piece of bark from a big tree and carved a few lines on it with a small knife. The general meaning was that they had to go back to the city to find medicine and ask the young man to stay here.
Putting the tree bark into the young man’s hand, Ye Jin looked at Lin Ran smugly. “How is it? This idea is not bad, right?”
“Not bad.”
Lin Ran gave her a thumbs up and praised. He suddenly felt a little sentimental. Previously, he had always felt that Ye Jin was someone who needed to be taken care of, but he didn’t expect her to always give him unexpected surprises.
After leaving the message, Lin Ran brought Ye Jin back to the city on his sword.
Under Ye Jin’s lead, the two of them quickly found a medical hall. After Lin Ran roughly described the young man’s injuries, the shopkeeper quickly prepared the corresponding herbs.
“I’ve packed it up for you!”
The shopkeeper placed the packed herbs on the table and revealed a kind smile. “A total of three taels of silver.”
Lin Ran nodded and put his hand in his pocket. Then, his expression became awkward.
“Did you bring the money?”
Lin Ran looked at Ye Jin awkwardly. “I gave all the money to your father…”
When Ye Jin heard this, she also looked embarrassed. “I also gave my money to my father.”
Lin Ran pursed his lips with a strange expression and forced a smile at the shopkeeper. “We didn’t bring any money. Can we put it on credit first?”
Hearing that the two of them didn’t have money, the smile on the shopkeeper’s face instantly disappeared. He glanced at Lin Ran from head to toe and said disdainfully, “You don’t dress like a poor person. Why can’t you take out three taels of silver?”
“It’s not that I can’t afford it, but I forgot to bring money with me when I went out.”
Lin Ran explained with a smile, “Can I take the medicine away first? I’ll definitely send you the money in an hour at most!”
“Don’t give me that! Why would you buy medicine if you don’t have money?”
The shopkeeper glared at him. Then, as if he had seen something, he waved his hand hard at the door. “Official! Official! Someone is causing trouble here!”
“No, we really forgot to bring money!”
Lin Ran’s expression changed and he hurriedly explained. As he spoke, he subconsciously turned around and burst out laughing.
It turned out that the “official” outside was none other than Sun Ge, whom he had just seen this morning!
“You came at the right time!”
Lin Ran shouted. Ignoring the strange gaze of the shopkeeper, he rushed out and grabbed Sun Ge’s hand. “Give me three taels of silver! I’ll return it to you later!”
At this moment, Sun Ge finally recognized Lin Ran. He looked up at the signboard of the medical hall and his expression changed slightly. “Why are you buying medicine? Are you injured?”
Lin Ran waved his hand. “Don’t ask so much. Did you bring money or not?”
Sun Ge took off the pouch at his waist. “I did, but…”
Before he could finish speaking, the pouch in Sun Ge’s hand was snatched away by Lin Ran. He rushed back to the medical hall, threw the pouch on the counter, and took away the medicine.
Ignoring the shopkeeper’s shocked face, Lin Ran took the medicine and called Ye Jin out. After thanking Sun Ge, he turned around and left.
...
“Wait a minute!”
Sun Ge shouted and quickly chased after him. He grabbed Lin Ran and said seriously, “I have something to tell you.”
Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him. “It’s the list, right? You sorted it out so quickly?”
“No, it’s something else.”
Sun Ge shook his head and looked at Ye Jin with worry. “Are you alright?”
Ye Jin was still a little angry with Sun Ge. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said angrily, “I’m fine! What can happen to me?”
“It’s good that you’re fine…”
Sun Ge heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Ran. “Can I talk to you?”
Lin Ran frowned slightly. “About what?”
“I feel that something is wrong with Chen Tianqi…”
