Chapter 166 Su Ran
Shen Li lifted the car curtain, but Nangong Qi grabbed her with a hint of vigilance and concern in his eyes, "Don't go out yet, the situation is unclear and it may be dangerous." Shen Li was slightly startled, and feeling the strength and warmth from his hand, her heart inexplicably calmed down.
Shen Yu also tightened his grip on the whip and carefully observed the person on the ground in front of him.
The person lying in the middle of the road was wearing tattered clothes. His face could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was that he was quite thin, like a teenager, and he did not seem to be moving.
Nangong Qi frowned and said softly, "I'll go out and take a look. You guys stay in the carriage and don't move." After that, he let go of Shen Li's hand, slowly got off the carriage, and approached the man step by step, taking every step with caution.
When he got closer, Nangong Qi could see clearly that the person lying on the ground was indeed a young man, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
He had a handsome face. Although his face was as pale as paper and his lips were chapped and peeling, it was hard to hide the heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible. Nangong Qi squatted down, felt the boy's pulse, and frowned even more tightly.
At this time, Shen Li ignored Nangong Qi's previous obstruction and jumped off the carriage and came to his side, "How is it? Is he still alive?"
Nangong Qi looked up at her and nodded, "She's still alive, but in a very bad condition. She looks like she's been hungry for a long time and is seriously injured."
Shen Li's heart softened. "Then we can't just stand by and watch him die. Let's take him back to the Shen family. Although it's not very convenient at home, we can't just abandon him."
Nangong Qi was a little hesitant. After all, they knew nothing about the identity of this young man. But when he saw Shen Li's determined eyes, he finally nodded.
Shen Yu carefully carried the young man onto the carriage, and the group turned their horses around and galloped towards the Shen family.
After returning to the Shen family, since there were no extra rooms near the main house, Shen Li arranged for the boy to live in the yard next door where the servants lived.
She called Lin and Zhao Dali and instructed them carefully: "This young master fainted from hunger and was rescued by us. You should pay more attention to him, make him some food, and let him recuperate first." Lin and Zhao Dali nodded in agreement.
Inside the carriage, Shen Li looked at the unconscious boy and secretly wondered about his origins.
Nangong Qi watched her silently from the side. He knew that with the appearance of this young man, perhaps a series of unknown things would happen, and their lives would once again be shrouded in layers of fog.
But as long as he could stay by Shen Li's side, he felt fearless in his heart, and no matter what challenge he faced, he had the courage to fight it.
Not long after the carriage arrived at the Shen family, the young man slowly woke up.
After waking up, the boy slowly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing the fatigue and weakness that came from having experienced so much.
His cracked lips trembled slightly, and he began to describe his identity and experience in a hoarse voice.
"My name is Su Ran, and I've always been a wanderer. My family suffered a tragedy, and both my parents passed away, leaving me alone in this world. I heard there's a quiet and peaceful place nearby that might be able to help me find peace, so I set out on this journey."
The young man coughed softly a few times, paused, and then continued, "But who knew that I would encounter a group of villains on the way. Seeing that I was alone, they wanted to kidnap me and sell me. I fought back desperately, but they still beat me all over and abandoned me in the wilderness. I thought I was going to die here, but luckily you passed by and saved me."
Shen Li listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy and pity, "Master Su Ran, you have suffered. You should rest and recuperate here first. Once you recover, you can make plans."
Nangong Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if pondering some details in the boy's words. He asked softly, "Su Ran, you said you were kidnapped and sold by criminals, but although you have scars on your body, there are no signs of being tied up with ropes or anything like that. Why is that?"
A subtle flash of panic flashed across the boy's eyes, but he regained his composure in an instant. "Maybe I struggled too hard, so they beat me up before they could tie me up."
Nangong Qi's doubts did not dissipate, but he did not ask any further questions.
Shen Li was busy arranging people to send nourishing food and medicinal herbs mixed with spiritual spring water to the young man, because in her previous life she had studied Chinese medicine for a period of time out of interest and knew some pulse diagnosis skills.
So when delivering the medicine, she inadvertently felt Su Ran's pulse and found that he was indeed in very bad condition inside. After confirming that he was not pretending, Shen Li hoped that he could recover as soon as possible.
