C15 Shihoru
Different people have different personalities.
Therefore, when facing the same thing, they would use different solutions.
Lin Xin knew that perhaps someone would use a 'white lie' to comfort Shihoru.
However, he believed that there was nothing in this world that would be more cruel than giving someone a hope that they did not have when they were in despair.
Hence...
"Kevin?"
At this moment, when Shihoru subconsciously repeated this short name, Lin Xin clearly noticed that the other party's breathing slowed down by half a beat for a moment.
That was the final trace of hope in his heart. At the moment when it was completely destroyed, it brought about an emotional impact.
At this moment...
"How, how could this be?"
The basket in the girl's hand had already fallen to the ground.
Her voice started to tremble. She subconsciously moved her feet and kept moving away from Lin Xin, "You clearly... Ah!"
"!!"
All of a sudden, the girl tripped over the uneven ground. As she cried out in alarm, she fell backwards towards the edge of the stone bridge.
This sudden change shocked Lin Xin so much that he didn't even have time to think. He subconsciously took a step forward and reached out to grab her.
In the end, he, who had been in a hurry, lost his balance and fell out of the small stone bridge with her.
"Thud! Thud!"
Below the stone bridge was a small stream that wasn't too deep.
Normally, many people who lived in the Ordona City would come here to wash their clothes.
But now, accompanied by the sound of water dripping, it didn't take long for the sound of water to once again become the only sound in this silent environment.
"Uh ~"
A sound of pain from someone else was transmitted into her ears and Shihoru was instantly jolted awake.
She took a closer look and found that she was being protected in someone's embrace.
When she fell just now, it was clearly the moment when the other party fell into the water...
"Grind... Grind... I am the cushion."
An extremely familiar voice sounded, but it was unexpectedly a small joke.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Shihoru hurriedly got up but just as she sat up, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her right knee.
"Hu ~"
Her chest was not pressed down by anyone. Lin Xin also quickly used his hands behind his back to support the riverbed and sat up from the water.
Fortunately, the shallow stream did not flow through his nose and mouth.
But right now, his entire body was wet by the cold stream. There was always water dripping from the tip of his hair.
Furthermore...
... ""
The girl who didn't stand up immediately seemed to be sitting in a very bad position.
He took the opportunity to glance at her and saw that her right knee was bleeding.
This made Lin Xin feel somewhat speechless.
He had already subconsciously acted as a cushion, so why was it that she was the one who was injured?
However, his back that was on the ground was really painful. He did not know if his bones had broken from the fall just now.
"Huala ~"
After all, it was his own body. Lin Xin slightly moved the muscles on his back to make sure that he was fine. After the pain was fading away, he took the girl and left the stream.
It was worth mentioning that because the girl's knee was injured, Lin Xin could only use the 'princess hug' method to carry her. It was really helpless.
During this time, the girl kept her head down and clenched her hands in front of her chest, not daring to look at him.
Not long after, he gently squatted down and placed the other party on the grass.
"You were too careless, normally you were so careless?"
Lin Xin sighed and said, "I will treat you for now..."
After saying that, he raised his right hand and drew a translucent rune in front of his face. "Light, in the name of Rumi Alice's protection. "
"Treatment (Cure)."
This was the lowest level of recovery miracle a priest could learn in Temple.
Compared to the healing (Hell) miracle released by Priestess Girl, it could only heal relatively small wounds and could not recover the blood lost by the wounded.
But it had a miraculous effect on a small injury.
For example, arrow wounds, abrasions, stab wounds that were very short in length... and so on.
In Lin Xin's opinion, if there was such a technique in Home Earth, many patients who had undergone major surgeries would be fully recovered the next day. They would only need to rest for a while before they could continue to stay in the hospital.
It could be seen that the existence of a priest was very important to an adventurer team.
Right now...
"Alright."
The faint light that spread out from the palm of her right hand gradually dimmed. After the miracle treatment (Cure) was completed, the wound on Shihoru's right knee had already healed.
Lin Xin used the sleeve of his right hand to wipe away the remaining blood and immediately revealed the smooth skin of the girl.
"It is almost dark and it will be very cold at night. You better hurry back to the dormitory and change out of your wet clothes. Don't catch a cold."
"Goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xin stood up with his hands on his knees and prepared to leave.
But he had not even taken two steps...
"Hmm?"
He discovered that the corner of his clothes was being pulled by the girl, "Is there something else?"
"You, aren't you going back to the dormitory?"
The girl stuttered and asked in a low voice, "You shouldn't have a place to stay right now."
"This..."
Lin Xin stopped and looked at the darkening sky helplessly.
Indeed.
The night before yesterday, Temple kindly took him in. Last night, he was able to release the Town Hall in the wilderness to live.
Now that he was in the city...
"Looks like I can only convert one unit of money from the system. I'll just make do with it for now."
"It's time to change my clothes."
"But before that..."
Lin Xin looked at Shihoru and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, but in order not to make things awkward between us, you should forget about it."
After saying this, Lin Xin gently pulled Shihoru's hand away from the corner of his shirt and left.
Behind him, there seemed to be some sobbing sounds, and it was getting farther and farther away.
Why was the other party crying?
What was her current mood?
Lin Xin did not understand.
After all, he was not Manado. His understanding of Shihoru was only limited to the story narration in his previous life.
He only knew that he should not have too much interaction with his original teammates.
The relationship between the Reincarnator was even more difficult to deal with than strangers.
As for now...
"Hiss, it's indeed cold."
Lin Xin, who was drenched all over, turned around and walked towards the market.
"Let's go and buy some clothes to change into."
He rubbed his hands. "It's only a few days until the next wave erupts. You must not get sick at this time."
"Besides that, we need to find a new place to stay."
"We definitely can't go to the Apprentice Adventurer Dormitory arranged by Akatsuki Agency... Sigh, I have to spend money again."
Lin Xin's mind moved and he exhaled out the semi-transparent Virtual Interface.
He looked at the 115 number displayed on the top right corner of the coin column, and began to make a mental note.
"Fifteen, no, five gold coins should be enough."
"The purchasing power is equal to 50,000 soft sister coins."
