489: Chapter 489: After the Actor 489: Chapter 489: After the Actor Late at night, Lin Shuang finally opened his eyes slowly.
At this time he was extremely weak, his complexion somewhat deathly pale.
“Little Lin, you’re awake,” Wu Jiu approached him upon his awakening and helped him up.
Lin Shuang was lying on a wooden bed in a monk’s room; he tried to get up, but just as he propped himself up, a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
“The poison on the blades of the assassins yesterday was fierce.
The toxicity has permeated your bloodstream throughout your body.
The Monk Doctor and I have removed some of the poisoned blood, but not all the toxicity is cleared.
You need to rest and recuperate quietly in the coming days and must not engage in combat,” Wu Jiu reminded him.
“How long was I unconscious?” Lin Shuang asked weakly.
Master Wu Jiu slowly said, “One day and one night.”
Lin Shuang’s gaze sharpened?
He had been unconscious that long?
A whole day had already passed.
Lin Shuang picked up his phone and saw that there were dozens of missed calls on it.
All from Su Wanqiao.
Su Wanqiao was worried something had happened to him and had also sent him hundreds of WeChat messages, but Lin Shuang hadn’t replied.
Lin Shuang then made a call to Su Wanqiao.
“Lin Shuang!
Where were you all day yesterday?
Why couldn’t I contact you?!” Su Wanqiao’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I’m fine.
I stayed at Hanshan Temple yesterday, and I will be staying here for a few days to refine my mind.
You stay in the submarine for a few days.
After I settle the affairs at Hanshan Temple…
I will meet up with you,” Lin Shuang reported safe and then reassured Su Wanqiao a few words before hanging up the phone.
Lin Shuang lay on the bed and rested for another whole day.
Given Lin Shuang’s capabilities, he should not have been poisoned.
But underestimating those assassins, he had carelessly been poisoned.
That day, Master Wu Jiu and the Monk Doctor of the temple again administered acupuncture to detoxify him.
After the acupuncture detoxification, Lin Shuang weakly asked, “May I ask Master, where is my mother’s body now?”
Master Wu Jiu sighed and said, “Back then, after rescuing you from her womb, your mother’s body…
was buried in the back mountain of Hanshan Temple…”
Hearing this, Lin Shuang insisted on getting up to see his mother’s tombstone.
Master Wu Jiu wanted to dissuade him, as he still had toxicity in his body and it was inconvenient for him to get up.
But Lin Shuang was too stubborn, and Master Wu Jiu couldn’t persuade him.
Lin Shuang forced himself to get out of bed, enduring the excruciating pain in his body, and headed to the back mountain of Hanshan Temple…
Master Wu Jiu took him to the back mountain, to Xia Yuhe’s grave.
It was a simple earthen grave with a stone stele in front of it.
“Why doesn’t my mother’s tombstone have a name?” Lin Shuang asked tremblingly.
Master Wu Jiu sighed and said, “Back then, those mysterious assassins kept searching around Tiger Hill…
looking for your mother’s missing corpse…
I feared that divulging her name would lead her tomb to be discovered, so I dared not engrave her name.”
Lin Shuang’s eyes turned blood-red, and he knelt down in front of the tombstone, fiercely kowtowing to his mother’s grave!
He had searched for his biological parents for decades, never expecting to meet his mother in this manner.
A grave apart, a divide between heaven and man.
“Mother, your son has come to see you.” Lin Shuang knelt on the ground and forcefully kowtowed three times.
Then, raising his right hand, he held the Ghost Crying Dagger in his hand and directly carved a line on the tombstone: “Grave of Xia Yuhe”
Signed: “Unfilial son-Lin Shuang”
Seeing these words, Master Wu Jiu sighed, “Why bother…
If you lure them here, the consequences could be unimaginable…”
Lin Shuang slowly stood up, “My mother’s tombstone should not be nameless.
If they dare come, then let them come with no return.”
This signified Lin Shuang’s resolve to fight to the death with that mysterious force!
After paying respects to his mother, Lin Shuang went back to Hanshan Temple.
In the following days, Master Wu Jiu continuously administered acupuncture to Lin Shuang for healing and detoxification.
Lin Shuang and Master Wu Jiu had been speculating why those assassins suddenly came to Hanshan Temple to attempt assassination?
Finally, Lin Shuang and the Master concluded: the assassins perhaps had known Lin Shuang’s identity long ago, so they knew Lin Shuang came to Hanshan Temple to seek information, hence they came to silence him!
But how could the assassins know his identity clues?
Could it be from Grandma Xu’s side?
Did the assassins find out about Lin Shuang through clues from Grandma Xu?
Lin Shuang’s expression changed?!
Grandma Xu might be in danger!
Lin Shuang hastily made a call to Satan!
But, the voice prompt from the other end of the phone said, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is not answering.
Please try again later!”
Lin Shuang’s expression changed?!
No one answered Satan’s phone?!
Lin Shuang then made over a dozen more calls, still no answer!
