The friendship between the two masters and servants who have been separated for a long time is extremely deep. It is not difficult to see from the fact that even though Fu Wentao is dragging his half-dead body, he still has to get up from the bed and bow to salute.
Both of them had tears in their eyes. As a female, Murong Yan was perhaps too reserved and could not utter a single word when she saw Fa Xiao who seemed like she was living in another world. She could only keep sobbing slightly.
Fu Wentao, on the other hand, was just the opposite. Even in such a miserable state, he still had to show his almost crazy respect - he knelt on the ground and bowed his head, until Murong Yan asked why he ended up like this before he reacted.
"Wen Tao truthfully reported the secret release of Miss Murong, which completely angered his adoptive father... In a fit of anger, he threatened to cut off my left sword-wielding arm, no matter how I questioned and argued." Fu Wentao bowed his arm tremblingly, The blood-stained bandage was vaguely visible in the dark corner. "At that time, I understood that what was done was done, and there was no turning back... I chose to protect. So, I cut off one of my arms to apologize, and gave my adoptive father to All my martial arts skills have been returned, and I have severed all ties with Fu Jiaen..."
Fu Wentao then recounted how he was imprisoned after losing his arm, was rescued by a good person, and finally escaped here.
"That little maid from the Fu family must have been favored by Miss Murong, and she just took the risk to let Wen Tao go." This former warrior is now so miserable that he can only survive, so he never dares to look directly at the noble person in front of him. The man lowered his head and body deeply, "Then on the way to escape, my adoptive father did not seem to give up on hunting me. He was chased and intercepted by gangsters along the way. I knew that I had no place in the Central Plains. , we can only hide here and there like wild dogs, and go straight north to this point."
After saying that, Murong Yan, who seemed to have thousands of words choked in her throat, could only silently help the other person up, gently caressed the "broken arm", said that she wanted to bandage the other person to stop the bleeding, and then Together, Xiao Shitou helped the huge body back to the bed.
The small mountain hut was suddenly filled with the smell of herbs and blood, forcing others to go out in order to relieve their depression a little.
I saw the beggar Xiao Shitou carrying a wooden basin in and out of the house door, and walked to the stone well not far away to fetch water. He walked back and forth three times, and each time he filled it with "white water". Come out full of "red water". Even if you have not witnessed it with your own eyes, you can understand how miserable the life of a "wild dog" must be.
A short time passed like this, and when Zhao Kuo saw that it was getting late, he wanted to take his sister and leave first, and then come back to visit the next day, but unexpectedly he was severely rejected by the other party. This brother and sister always seem to be so stubborn, but they never hate each other.
"Since brother, you would rather lie down in Sister Ajuan's 'gentle land' than stay here and do your part, then why don't you just say goodbye?" The younger sister said insinuating: "I see you often these days. Follow Sister Ajuan to come out of your room, if Daddy finds out about you hanging out..."
"Sister, how can you say such nonsense!" Zhao Kuo hurriedly took his little sister aside, and was suddenly a few steps away from Bai Feng, who was also in front of the cabin door. Then he whispered: "There must be something involved in this matter." Misunderstanding! All in all, it is not safe to leave those two girls behind in the post house. My brother took the first step and was just looking out for the overall situation!"
"Uh..." Zhao Xiaomei nodded doubtfully, and then sent her brother back majestically. Her expression seemed to say that not only was she not fooled by Zhao Kuo's glib tone, but she also thought she had the handle on the other party. Same.
Soon after Zhao Kuo left, Murong Yan walked out with Xiao Shitou. The latter claimed that he was going to pick some wild vegetables in the mountains and came back, so he left for a while. The only person who knew Fu Wentao's physical condition was Murong Yan.
When the young swordsman saw that Murong Yan was so depressed and lonely, he naturally did not forget to step forward and care for him. When asked about Fu Wentao's condition, Murong Yan replied: "Broken bones can be seen all over the fracture, which hinders the healing of the wound. I'm afraid it will be used." Applying my 'Miko's Blood' will not help, he must have a skilled doctor help him remove the broken bones, otherwise, his life will be in danger."
"Then why did Young Master Fu knock Mr. Tao unconscious?" Zhao Xiaomei asked.
"Wen Tao thought this was a plot by the bad guys to kill people, and I'm afraid it has something to do with Mr. Tao's unforgiving mouth..." Murong Yan looked worriedly into the dark hut, and then realized that it was getting late, so she started to move around Then he would pick branches and leaves nearby and light a fire.
So, Bai Feng, Zhao Xiaomei and Murong Yan collected firewood along the nearby hills. By the time they came back, Xiao Shitou had returned with a load of wild vegetables and had set up a bonfire stove outside the mountain hut. They were about to find more fuel. Fortunately, they met a few brothers and sisters who met by chance, and they saved a lot of money. matter.
They took out the bran rice stored in the hut and cooked it into porridge with wild vegetables, so that they could survive the unbearable hunger. After Fu Wentao tasted the simple meal, he fell on the bed and fell asleep due to extreme fatigue and pain. The rest of the people were sitting on the ground around the bonfire outside the house, looking at the sun, moon and stars, and talking about anecdotes from ancient and modern times.
Of course, people have doubts about the true identity and purpose of Xiao Shitou. It's just that such a little girl is so willing to take care of a man who is not related to her, it is already something worthy of admiration, so Murong Yan and others also acquiesce to this fact - maybe she is really Fu Wentao's family member. allow?
Such thoughts were quickly denied by Xiao Shitou herself. She knew that Murong Yan in front of her was more important to Rune Wentao than her own life, so it was very pointless to lie for Rune Tao in front of her.
"I know you are very confused, how could there be such a person with blood debt in the family of a mountain girl?" Xiao Shitou held the gruel and said: "Actually, my name is not Xiao Shitou... I am Ayu. And this is not my home, it’s just a place to stay. My home is in Lingcheng, and there is a grandfather at home who is a blacksmith. He is very nice, and I am very willing to help him..."
When Murong Yan saw Ayu being so honest, she thought the other person was out of fear, so she spoke: "Ayu, actually you don't have to tell us this..."
"No! If I don't tell you, you will think that I have some agenda to help Brother Fu." Ayu replied: "That day I helped my grandfather go up the mountain to collect ore, and I was about to rest in this hut. Unexpectedly, I met two or three bad guys on the way. They were all armed with swords and strong. Seeing that I was alone and looking down on me, they took advantage of their power and bullied me. They caught me in the house and were about to... lose my virginity. At this point. Brother Fu comes to the rescue at this moment!"
In Ayu's eyes, Fu Wentao is a more perfect existence than any man, even if he is half-wasted: "Brother Fu first knocked one of the swordsmen unconscious, although he himself lost support and fell to the ground. , but he took away the man's sword and threw it in front of me. Seeing this, the other two swordsmen cursed Brother Fu and claimed that they would take his head back to the Fu family to receive the reward. But Fu The eldest brother showed no fear of death, and even threw himself forward and entangled one of them, giving me an opportunity to take their lives with my sword..."
"So there is such a thing..." Zhao Xiaomei looked at the poor little sister and sighed: "Then why don't you let Mr. Fu live in your grandfather's house?"
"There are too many people in the city and there may be pursuers coming. Besides, my grandfather doesn't like such dangerous people. So, I can only hide in the mountains first." Ayu said: "The doctor who finally invited us finally It turns out... alas!"
They talked for a long time, until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and their eyes were bleary, so they took a rest on the spot. Unexpectedly, the next morning, Murong Yan woke everyone up in panic, only to find that Fu Wentao was missing.
