One Night Bride

Chapter 8: My men are not allowed to move

With a slap, the guard who has opened his mouth hears the sound of his teeth falling to the ground, and half of his cheek is swollen high.

“Damn fool, where has that woman gone?”

“Woman?”

The guards look around privately, and by now, the wine has sobered up, and the woman has disappeared.

Another man says with trepidation: “She was playing with that little brat yesterday ……”

“Stupid, go quickly and find her. If she escapes, the king will cut you into pieces. What are you doing here? Get out, go find her. By the way, bring that little brat to me ……”

The two men hurriedly run away, the King of Qin’s fan-like bear palm crumpled, if I catch the slave girl, I  will definitely tear her into pieces …… also let everyone see the consequences of making King Quin angry.

The king’s slave girl has escaped, the whole island is boiling up, looking around.

The young man is pushed and shoved to the King of Qin, his height is not as tall as the King of Qin’s chest, the King of Qin grabs his head and swirls him around, as if shaking a rattle: “Boy, where did Hua Rong go?”

The young man is shaken so much that his scalp is about to explode. Today , he has been locked in the kitchen to work. I have not seen Hua Rong, hurriedly said: “sister missing? Where did she go?”

Qin Shang Cheng sees that he can not answer that question, he casually throws him away , he throws him at least two feet away on the thin soft sand, but he feels he can not get up.

Several pirates run back, they report that they have not seen anyone. King Qin waves his hand hatefully, and walks towards the sea.

Several pirates who guard the ship are not drunk, they are all very sober, and assure that they have not seen a woman escape, and simply she can not escape.

Qin Shang Cheng first goes to the “concave” on the rock to see, and there is no one. The people that have gone  deep into the heart of the island also quickly gather, saying there is no one around.

Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, the clouds are sinking on the sea, if it rains heavily, it is very dangerous to stay outside, he curses: “Hua Rong, get out, be careful of the waves that roll you to feed the sharks ……”

“Hua Rong…… Hua Rong……”

He shouts around, but there is no echo.

“Hua Rong, if you dare to hide again, the king will tear you into pieces ……”

“Come out quickly …… you come out, this king may spare you ……”

“Damn bitch, if you don’t come out, when I catch you, those women will be your fate, I will let you know, in this world what the real hell on earth is ……”

He roars and curses his voice, almost overshadowing the gusts of waves. However, he also knows, if that woman is intentionally hiding, she will not be threatened by his few words and will automatically run out.

The mouth of the sea is closed, the front is a cliff, it is difficult to fly with wings, where can she run ? He curses as he walks towards the pile of rocks, jagged rocks ** in the water, very lofty.

There is still no trace of a person.

As he is about to turn around and return, only to see the left side of the two boulders between the narrow gap in the stone, a person as tight as a gecko in the inside, half of her body submerged in seawater, eyes tightly closed, and he does not know whether dead or alive.

Who is it if not Hua Rong?

He is furious, takes two steps over, grabs her loose hair and drags her out: “How dare you run …… this king will let you know today his power ……”

She falls into his arms as soon as her body lurches. He raises his hand and slaps her face, but like a heavy fist against a pile of cotton – he finds that the slave girl is already dying, her cloths are wet and sticking to her body, ragged, face is already the color of dead ashes and the are lips blue.

The body in his arms is scary hot, he touches her forehead, and it is as hot as a branding iron. His hand moves to the end of her nose, forgetting for a moment how to tear her cloths off . 

A fire is built in the house.

He tears off her clothes in two or three handfuls, and dries her all over with a handkerchief. Because of the heat and water, the wound on the chest has worsened, and the left side of the body, from the side of the chest to the thigh, there is a whole long bloody scar, as if someone has whipped her fiercely.

The chest wound is caused by her suicide attempt, which he knows, but, this new wound who made it? He does  not care to rant, rushes out a bottle of ointment thickly applies to her wounds, and gives her a few pills. In a short while, the ordered ginger soup has been boiled, he brings a large porcelain sea bowl to fill it up for her. In the middle of the pour, she starts to vomit. He is in a hurry, so he just pinches her jaw, takes a big gulp and pours it into her mouth…

A bowl of ginger soup is finished, and I do not know whether it is the reason for her high fever or what, he himself is full of sweat. 

He sinks his voice: “Come in ……”

The two guards come in, their faces are impassive.

“He says, who did that to her?”

One of the guards falls  to his knees with a thud: “My Lord, it is me. That little brat was lazy, learning to write from that girl, and forgot to work, I was going to teach him a lesson, but the girl got in the way ……”

Qin Shang Cheng narrows his eyes and says ,  “A finger.”

“Yes.”

The King of Qin is cruel by nature, if he expressly punishes him, he could still live, but if he smiles, it will be impossible to live. Without saying a word, the guard pulls out his sword and cuts off a little finger.

“Remember, whoever dares to touch the king’s things, next time it will be the head. Take this finger and feed it to the cocksucker, go away.”

The two men are pardoned and leave as quickly as they can

Only then does the king turn his attention back to the woman, suddenly remembering her “defection”, his anger surges up again, saying to himself: “When you wake up, how should I torture you!”

However, until midnight, she does not wake up, and her body is still terribly hot.

The most fearful thing on the island is the fever, if it does not go down, she will die in less than two days. Qin Shang Cheng summons an older woman to ask her how to save Hua Rong.

This woman was also robbed, but among the women, she is the oldest and also very ugly. Because of this, it was a blessing in disguise and she was temporarily saved.

She looks at Hua Rong, she immediately puts a cold handkerchief on her forehead and heart…

The king of Qin stares : “So,will she wake up?”

She trembles and does not dare to reply.

He leaves with a harsh word and goes out: “If she wakes up, you call the king, and I will torture her to death. But if she dies, you will be buried with her.”

Anyway, if she will be tortured to death, why save her?

The woman curses the inhumane pirate leader, looks at the young girl with pity, waking up with the fate of being spoiled and raped, she would rather die but when she is clean.

By dawn, Qin Shang Cheng re-enters the house, her fever has faded a little, but, still in a coma, she has not woken up.
