Chapter 42
I and my companions are being guarded by the people of the big family, but I went to the enemy's house to visit the sick, and the other party even insulted me.It was probably the silliest thing in two lifetimes.
Sean blamed himself while wearing special metal finger cots.They are sharp and grippy, making climbing exterior walls easy.
If the guy was in the bedroom, then I jumped in; otherwise, I didn't bother looking for him.Sean thought, reaching out to the rough stone wall.
After hesitating for a long time, Sean decided to visit Medanzo.Secretly, of course.He didn't want to cause trouble for his companion—even though it was a dangerous decision for him to come to see Medanzo.But he still thought he should take the risk.Sean feels guilty about Medanzo's eye injury.
At the beginning, he was reckless because of anger, so he killed two people.Although the driver decided to do everything for revenge, and Medan Zuo deserved what he deserved, Sean still believed that he should bear a large part of the responsibility.Just as he couldn't forgive what Mei Danzuo did to him, he couldn't forgive himself for abetting that driver to hurt others.
When Sean knocked on the window and saw Medanzuo's expression, he thought that the other party was about to scream excitedly.He was ready to jump down the castle.Fortunately, Medanzo controlled it: from surprise to ecstasy to calm, the change took only a few seconds.Medanzo walked slowly to the window and let Sean in. "Why don't you come in by the fireplace? It's too easy to be seen by climbing the window, and it will be dangerous."
"How long has the fireplace in your room been useless, and how long has it been cleaned? I don't want to be dusted." Sean jumped into the room.A serious injury can change a person too much, Sean thought while looking at Medanzo.The other party's usual loose blond hair was tied behind his head, revealing his perfect face.The black eye patch occupies a large part of the opponent's face, but this is not considered a blemish, but it makes the opponent's well-maintained skin fairer.
To Sean's surprise, Medanzo's temperament has changed a lot.When he first arrived, he looked at the other party outside the window for a while. At that time, Medanzuo was resting his head on the bedpost with a gloomy expression.At this moment, the other party no longer raised his chin arrogantly like before, but lowered his head slightly.He seemed to be depressed because he was not cared about by others, and he seemed to be nervously waiting for the blame from others.
From the bottom of his heart, Sean disliked Medanzuo's attitude of holding his head high above the sky.But when he saw Mei Danzuo's current appearance, his heart began to tighten.In his opinion, although Mei Danzuo shouldn't be so arrogant, he shouldn't be like this either, lost and nervous. "How are you?"
"It's okay. As you know, there have been 'family of doctors exclusive to nobles' more than a hundred years ago. They can even do things that cannot be done by magic——let the severed limbs grow back. In ten days, my The eyeball can return to the eye socket and gradually resume its proper function."
Shane certainly knew this.He is born again from the old days. "But people with noble blood have strong healing ability, and their eyelids are very thin. I'm afraid they will return to their original shape soon. At that time, in order to put the eyeballs back, he will have to cut the eyelids vertically again?"
"Look, you're starting to worry about me now." Medanzuo seemed to want to smile at Sean, but he was afraid of getting involved in the wound, so he withdrew his half-finished expression. "There is no need to cut again. There is a slightly corrosive medicine, and the doctor applied it to my wound. The healing and corrosion are almost the same speed. On the day of the operation, the wound will still be as good as new."
Hearing the other party's narration, Sean's heart trembled slightly.He knows it hurts.Although Mei Danzuo deserved it, he couldn't tell the truth in front of the depressed patient. "That is to say, you will be in pain until then?"
Medanzo smiled helplessly.Sean saw the opponent's shoulders flinch, obviously the expression involved the wound. "Of course not. The pain will last for about a month after the operation. The recovery is long. Would you mind sitting on the bed with me? Because of the medicine, I get dizzy after standing for a long time."
"I don't mind." Sean watched Medanzo walking towards the bed.The other party walked very slowly, and his shoulders shrank nervously every time he landed.He knows why.The action will involve the wound, making the other party suffer more intensely.Just like just now, Mei Danzuo was extremely happy to see him. If any action could not aggravate the pain, the other party would definitely greet him more "enthusiastically".
Medanzo sat down against the bedpost, Sean facing him. "Thank you for coming to see me. I really want to see you, but the current situation is special, I thought you would not come." Medanzuo said in a flat tone.His heart may be pounding because of joy and tension, but he has to be calm. "I see why you hate my 'pride'. It does nothing but make people stupid and let their guard down. I would have given the driver some money to send him away, but his disrespectful remarks annoyed me."
Sean clenched his hands into fists and forced himself to loosen them slowly.Just as he had imagined, Medanzo would be unlucky because of his cruelty and arrogance. "Stop talking. What does your grandfather think of this?"
Medanzuo's exposed eye quickly dimmed. "I see. I should have thought of it. A congressman took advantage of my injury to introduce a bill that civilians have become dangerous and that a total ban on hot weapons and restrictions on knives is imperative. You don't want it to pass and still There are many nobles who look to my grandfather's wishes. That's why you came to see me, isn't it?"
Sean nodded calmly. "For thermal weapons, it doesn't matter if it's restricted like it used to be or outright banned. Restricting knives is as ridiculous as a tiger claiming that an antelope will bite itself and pull out its teeth. But I'm more for you."
Medan Zuo sat up slightly. "real?"
"real."
"So...you forgive me?"
"No. Not at all."
Medanzuo sighed softly, not surprised by this answer. "Most people wouldn't agree, people have the right to protect themselves. My grandfather would not agree, he thought the whole thing was my stupidity, even the driver was innocent."
Shane frowned. "He's been a little harsh on you." In his memory, James seemed to be a fair and kind guy, but the early death of his wife and son might change people's personality drastically.
"It's not harsh, it's just strict. He thinks I..." Having said that, Medanzuo took a few deep breaths, as if his heart was clenched by an invisible hand, so it was difficult to breathe. "I've dishonored the family. Whether it's the injury or this hapless blindfold."
"Don't worry, even with the blindfold on, you still look good, and your aristocratic temperament is still there." Sean comforted.Seeing that Mei Danzuo's eyes were bright, he immediately added: "I just comfort you, there is no other meaning. Although I am seeking truth from facts, there is absolutely no other meaning."
"I know, you don't like me." Medanzuo said softly, the calm and gentle tone made Sean wonder if the other party had undergone a drastic change in personality due to too much stimulation.But Mei Danzuo let Sean know in the next sentence that the other party was still as virtuous as before: "Xion, can I lean on your shoulder?"
Sean's gaze sharpened.Not entirely because of Mei Danzuo's words, but also because of the footsteps passing by outside the door.He mouthed: "Aren't you afraid of being involved in the wound? Just be honest."
Medanzuo didn't speak, just held Xie En's hand.Sean wanted to stop the opponent, but Medanzo's blindfold and tired expression made him give in.He said helplessly, "Are you always so naive after being injured, and still find someone to act like a baby? You have been in the army, so you should have been injured many times."
"Of course I've been hurt, but I have to maintain my presence with outsiders. In public and with other families, I have to maintain my presence at all times. You... you're not like them. I've been aware of it for a long time, and I've been very honest about it. You I realized it too, but you don't want to face me."
Sean could see that Medanzo was feeling uncomfortable, but he doubted that the other party's state could be contagious.He himself was starting to panic, damn it.He didn't forgive Mei Danzuo, and even remembered the shameful things that the other party had done; but there was something that was not pity or forgiveness, which silently arose in his heart.
Sean really wanted to jump out of the window and leave immediately, but he still sat on the edge of the bed, letting Medanzo hold his hand.He stayed with each other for a while. "I should go. Will your injury affect your sleep? I remember that there is a safe and harmless painkiller injection that can make people sleep peacefully. You can afford the cost of this drug."
"I never use that kind of thing. Grandfather thinks the pain is self-inflicted, so take it calmly."
Sean thought of James' catchphrase. "Pain wakes you up. It's true, but pain doesn't do anything to help you fall asleep unless it makes you pass out."
Medanzuo suddenly laughed and tugged at Sean's arm. "But you can help me sleep. Give me a goodnight kiss."
"Damn goodnight kiss!" Sean said ruefully.He deeply regrets coming to visit this pervert who loves to take advantage of others.He guessed that if he didn't agree, Medanzo would use threats. Magic was his natural enemy.
"Okay, you goddamn guy." Sean stood up, leaned over, and touched his lips lightly on the other's blindfold.
"It feels as bland as a goodnight kiss from an elder. You haven't even touched my skin." Medanzo complained softly, her beautiful green eyes looking at Sean expectantly: "If you kiss me , I can sleep in peace tonight."
Sean warned himself, don't care about the sick guy. "If I knock you out, you'll sleep soundly. I do get softhearted, but that doesn't mean you can push yourself. By the way, if I were you, I'd reflect on everything I've done. You hurt Before anyone else, please consider the consequences of a hate attack."
Mei Danzuo actually nodded, and said calmly: "I have already started to reflect. I went to the streets to see the lives of common people. They seem to be happy and peaceful, but they are not happy."
This surprised Shane again.

The white-haired old man was looking at his sword.This is an old-fashioned weapon. It used to fight with him before the country was restructured, and it is still bright and sharp under his maintenance for decades.Behind him, at the other end of the study, was a helmet that belonged to his enemy.
He remembered the faces of those ten people very clearly.They often appear in his dreams.The burly and powerful middle-aged man, the glamorous young woman, the young man in his prime, and so on.They fought side by side and fought each other.My side won, and those people became corpses, already turned into dust.
James, like other nobles, suffered from the headaches of the rebels.But he concedes that the warriors among the common people deserve admiration.The presence of these men was a boost to the morale of nobles whose armies had been battered by internal and external attacks.He was naturally impressed by the owner of the helmet.When the young man stood on top of the pile of stones and said, "Whoever invades my territory, die"...
The window pivots with a small babbling sound.Someone came in through the window. Although the movement was light, it was not silent.He quickly drew the gun from the side of his crutches, turned, and pulled the trigger.
James did not shoot.He staggered backwards and had to reset the crutches to the ground.His gun had long since dropped to the ground.The boy who broke in was too familiar. It was the face of the young hunter when he first met Sean in the forest. Except for the red eyes burning with hatred, there was almost no difference.
James thought it was an illusion.But when he heard the other party speak, the sharp tone was very familiar: "You really are so old that you can't even recognize me."
