Chapter 140 I Grow Old with the Holy Monk (24)
The man was quickly pinned to the ground by the villagers who rushed over.
Even though the man fell to the ground, he still cursed loudly: "What a shitty holy monk! People have been dying in our village since you came here! I think you are the one sent by the dog emperor to kill us all! Give me back my wife's life!"
Guan Yi stood up and signaled the villagers next to him to help the patient leave. He then walked over and stood in front of Sang Tian, protecting her with his body.
Sang Tian felt a lump in her throat when she looked at Guan Yi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and she had the urge to throw herself into his arms.
Guan Yi protected Sang Tian behind him and looked at the man who was pressed to the ground and said slowly: "Your wife got sick with the plague right after giving birth. When I came, it was already too late to save her."
"Ask yourself what you were doing when she gave birth to your child. You were idle all day and didn't take care of her, which led to her death."
Guan Yi's words made the people around him curse the man on the ground, and some women even wanted to rush over and hit him.
Several villagers carried the man back home.
After everyone left his hand, Guan Yi turned to look at Sang Tian, "Are you scared?"
At this time, the tears in Sang Tian's eyes had blurred her vision. She shook her head and was speechless.
She was afraid that she would choke up when she spoke.
Guan Yi took Sang Tian back to where he lived, which was a remote small courtyard in the village.
The small courtyard was very simple, with some herbs drying in the air.
The furnishings in the room were also very simple. Apart from a bed, there was also a very old-looking table with a few scriptures on it.
Sang Tian walked over and sat on the bed. Guan Yi poured her a cup of tea and said softly, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come."
Sang Tian stood up and walked to him, looking straight into his eyes, "But I miss you."
This simple sentence instantly broke down Guan Yi's defenses. He slowly raised his hand but finally restrained himself and put it down.
Sang Tian seemed not to see it and stretched out her hands to hug Guan Yi's waist and leaned her face against his chest.
The teacup in Guanyi's hand lost its grip and fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
Guan Yi closed his eyes but ultimately failed to put his hand on Sang Tian's waist.
The purpose of leaving Longming Temple and practicing hard was to wash away the mistakes he made to Sang Tian, but when she appeared in front of him, everything seemed less important.
Even now, he still couldn't look directly into his own heart, into his own dirty and terrible thoughts about Sang Tian.
In the evening, some villagers came to invite Sang Tian and Guan Yi to have dinner together. Guan Yi did not refuse and took Sang Tian with him.
The ones who came to call them were the village chief's family. The village chief's family was much better off than that of other villagers.
The village chief has only one son who looks foolish and silly. He has grown up but because he is a fool he can't get a wife yet.
The village chief and his wife warmly invited Sang Tian and Guan Yi into their home.
Although the plague was raging in the village, the village chief still had delicious food to entertain guests.
Sang Tian looked at Guan Yi and seeing that he looked normal, she sat down as well.
While eating, Sang Tian noticed that the village chief's eyes were always moving back and forth over her. She grabbed Guan Yi's sleeve in fear.
Guan Yi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and placed it in Sang Tian's bowl. He looked at her tenderly and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish, we'll go back."
Sang Tian smiled sweetly and picked up the dish and put it into her mouth.
After dinner, the village chief suddenly grabbed Guan Yi's hand and pulled him into the house. Sang Tian was taken to the yard by the village chief's wife to watch her foolish son play.
The village head's wife held Sang Tian's hand and always asked her questions intentionally or unintentionally.
Sang Tian noticed something was wrong, and Guan Yi came out and called her name softly.
The village chief who was following behind Guan Yi looked pale and completely different from his previous appearance.
