I worked until late at night, then fell asleep, and was rudely woken up before dawn. I was treated like a guard dog, scolded, and my hands were busy.
"It's time for you to clear the snow!"
"Who allowed you to sleep for so long?"
"Hahaha, Akko is so stupid, he actually fell down again..."
He huddled on the ground holding his injured arm, with only an unrealistic fantasy left in his mind.
"Would it be nice if we could just lie down like this and not have to get up?"
Don’t understand, don’t know anything, don’t think about anything…
She had been immersed in a sadness that penetrated deep into her bones. Suddenly, a pair of warm and tough hands reached out to her.
After waking up from a dream, Yu Ke walked out of the house and happened to meet Fu Wentao passing by carrying goods - he obviously only had one arm left, but he was still working hard to live and continue to study at the peak of swordsmanship.
Incredible willpower.
"Are you exhausted last night?" Fu Wentao asked, "You slept until noon, and the store will prepare meals for us soon."
Yu Ke was slightly surprised, "Huh? I'm...not tired. This life is much easier than before."
"That's good." Fu Wentao moved the goods on his shoulders, straightened them, walked to the store's warehouse and put them away, then went to the water tank to scoop a bowl of water, and when he was ready, he went to move the next batch of goods.
Fu Wentao, who was moving the goods, was like a giant, doing things that were unbelievable in the eyes of a ten-year-old girl, but actually insignificant to him.
"Then I'll go for a walk." Yu Ke waved to Fu Wentao, eager to get recognition.
Fu Wentao turned around and smiled and said, "Don't go too far. The food won't taste good if it's cold!"
"Okay, I heard you." Yu Ke trotted to the door of the inn, looking left and right, but saw no one.
Yu Ke walked aimlessly on this gravel path for a long time. Occasionally, he looked back and observed the shape of his footprints, and found that they were much larger than before.
Something that should have been expected, but she felt a little surprised?
"Yeah, I have shoes to wear."
A moment later, Ayu, who had gone out to do something, happened to pass by and said hello: "Ake, I found a blacksmith shop, and the owner was willing to lend us the space. I worked there for a long time, using some defective products as a blacksmith shop. The materials were quickly made into this sword, which has no edge and is of a size suitable for you."
"Is this one?" Yu Ke took the sword and said, "Is this mine?"
"Yes, this is yours. Bai Shaoxia asked me to make it." Ayu complained softly: "In exchange, I have to go to the master's house for a few days to teach them the forging skills. They followed me It doesn't matter that I'm a girl, or that I'm a 'little devil'...anyway, I quite like this feeling."
Yu Ke didn't fully listen to what he said. His eyes were filled with golden light and his attention was focused on the sword: "Is this a sword?"
"That's it, let's go back." Ayu said, holding Yu Ke's hand, and walked slowly back to the inn. It was the time when the dishes were being served in the Baifeng Waiting Hall. The former majestic general had no trouble doing odd jobs. Not taboo.
"This guest, please come inside!"
"Here comes the wine."
"Boss, you two official servants, would you like to take a few sips of wine to soothe your throats?"
The two policemen who were ordered to monitor Bai Feng's life were also troubled by this situation.
"I heard that Bai Shaoxia once served as a general in Beizhen. Is this true?"
"I think it's probably the wrong person!"
The young man patted his chest and said, "It's just a name. Now, I'm just a waiter. You two have been sitting here for so long, so you should be thirsty, right?"
They looked at each other and nodded for a few ounces of soju.
"Sworn brother?" Yu Ke looked at Bai Feng in surprise and asked, "Have they not left yet?"
Bai Feng said: "Oh, they have business, how can they leave? By the way, you are finally back!" After that, he took the sword in Yu Ke's hand and looked at it several times, nodded repeatedly, and said: "As expected of Yuan Fengzi. Granddaughter, such rotten wood can still shine brightly, Miss Ayu, I really don’t know how to thank you."
"Thank me? That's not necessary. After you earn your travel expenses, we'll write them off right away." Ayu shouted to the shopkeeper and said, "Hey, our General Bai Feng wasn't lazy just now, was he?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly threw down his abacus and walked away. He raised his hands and said in respect: "Oh, how dare I let such an unparalleled hero come to the shop? How dare I let him do so many menial tasks! If General Bai Feng hadn't asked for it many times, this little meal would be worth it. No one dares to ask for it.”
"Shopkeeper, although we are poor, we don't live for free. We should do some work." Bai Feng retorted, but he didn't know that the other party was more cautious than himself.
"I understand. Now, you can go and rest first. The food is ready in the house. General Bai Feng, don't tire yourself out."
The two of them stepped back and forth, and made concessions several times. Bai Feng finally agreed. However, he took the food without moving his chopsticks and took everything directly to the front of the backyard and placed it on the corridor, facing an open space in the yard.
After a while, Yu Ke was called here. She saw a charcoal fire burning next to the meal. Apparently someone was waiting here, so she asked, "Brother, are you calling me?"
"Have you brought the sword?" Bai Feng walked slowly from the side and said, "Last night was a small test. From today onwards, we can really start practicing the sword."
"Now?" Yu Ke said, "But I haven't finished eating yet and the food is getting cold."
"My food is simmering next to the charcoal fire. After practicing the sword, we will eat together." Bai Feng walked to the yard, picked up a piece of dead branch everywhere, and continued: "Try and stab me."
After that, we lived such a controlled and peaceful life for several days. The sound of sword practice and martial arts could be heard in the yard every day, and everyone enjoyed it.
After the news that the "bear problem" had been eliminated spread like wildfire, more and more people began to come in and out from the east gate. Until one evening, a shrill cry spread from the east to the west of the town, just saying.
"The giant bear is attacking! The giant bear is attacking! The giant bear is attacking!"
When Bai Feng and his party heard the news, they were naturally confused. However, they did not panic. Instead, they did not make any move under the eyes of the two officers who were ordered to monitor. They waited until the town official came to visit and then explained.
"There is a reason for everything, and we must find out."
"Brother, he will never lie to everyone. There is no such thing as a giant bear!"
"Young Master Bai will find a way."
The town official sighed and asked someone to hand over the sword and said: "I believe in you, so I will hand the sword back to you now. General Bai Feng, can you help me put down this chaos?"
"How do you say this?" Bai Feng said: "Could it be that, my lord, you have known for a long time that there is no giant bear causing trouble?"
The town official said: "Please follow me to the scene of the murder and investigate. The matter will be explained clearly."
After speaking, the town official went out and got on his horse, escorted by several young men. Bai Feng had no choice but to follow him in order to get to the bottom of it.
