She heard her heart pounding wildly, as if it was about to explode. Han Ningyuan was so nervous that he was trembling all over.
Suddenly, another person called out the third master's name, and his eyes wandered down.
Right now, she jumped into the air and escaped with the man.
After landing, Han Ningyuan staggered and almost fell. He Meisheng was a little disgusted and helped him up. I thought to myself that this person must be someone from the cottage. How come he didn't have any effort at all and he even fell like this when he landed on the ground. Could it be that he is a spy? If he is a spy, he should send someone with martial arts skills.
"Thank you for saving me, hero." He always had his back to He Meisheng. He never saw her clearly and thought he was a man. When he looked up, he saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth.
"You're welcome. It should be safe here. You can leave quickly, as long as you and I don't see each other today." It's hard to tell whether this person is a friend or an enemy. She just wanted to save people and didn't want to have anything to do with anything else.
"Thank you, Miss, for the rescue. I wasn't eavesdropping just now. They just robbed my things. They were left by my mother for me. Naturally, I want to get them back."
She didn't want to say more to him, but his story sounded very pitiful. "They robbed your mother's things, why didn't you just go and ask for them?"
"The girl is joking, my martial arts is too bad. How can I offend those two people? One is the third master, and the other is Qiao Lei, the village's traditional Chinese medicine expert. They are both top figures in the village. I can only watch from the corner, thinking Can you see where the jade pendant is and take it back secretly while they are away? Unexpectedly, you missed the mark and almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, the girl arrived in time. Otherwise, according to their temper, I have heard some things that I shouldn't Listen, it’s bound to be a dead end.”
"What did you hear?" She deliberately pretended that she didn't know, because she was far away at the time and she really didn't hear it very clearly.
"They said they wanted to take away the heroine Wanru... and take away the position of village leader." That's right, she heard it right.
"Are you from Wanshan Village?" she asked.
"Yes. I heard before that our village leader has found the one he likes and returned. Could it be a girl?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of person you like."
"This kind of person is the one who is happy in the heart. It is the feeling of lovesickness in the story book. It has been a long time since we last saw each other, and I miss you very much. Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns. Do you understand?" He actually thought that the girl didn't understand, and explained it. Ichiban.
He Meisheng saw that this man was a little dull and probably had little experience, so he asked him how old he was.
"I don't know either."
How could anyone not know his age? He Meisheng was surprised.
"I was abducted up the mountain by bandits. I was too young at the time and can't remember how old I was. I have lived in this mountain for ten years."
"Do you remember where you are from?"
"I don't remember, but when I go to bed at night, I always dream about a person wearing a robe and holding a sword in his hand. And the jade pendant has always been hidden on my body, but it was snatched away by them yesterday."
"Where do you work?"
"I have been helping in the kitchen. Because I don't know martial arts, I always lag behind when I go out to rob houses, so I was asked to help in the kitchen."
"Have you ever thought about running away?" Her words sounded painless.
"I couldn't escape. Every time I was caught, I was beaten half to death." The deep and shallow scars on his body were the price of his failed escape.
"Girl is hungry. To express my gratitude, I invite you to the kitchen for dinner. Among other things, my cooking skills are very good after ten years of training. Now I cook a lot of the village master's meals. "He deliberately changed the subject. Every time he thought about his failed escape, he felt very sad.
"No need. I'm leaving." She turned and left.
"Miss He." He stopped her and said, "If you are greedy, come to me in the kitchen."
He looked at her back and stopped for a long time, unwilling to leave. He Meisheng is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in his life.
He Meisheng walked out for a few steps and then realized that she didn't know the way. It would be bad if she still walked randomly and returned to where she was just now.
Then she turned around. Unexpectedly, he saw that the man just now was still where he was, with his gaze fixed on him.
Only then did Han Ningyuan realize that he was rude. He quickly raised his hands to cover his eyes and lowered his head in shame.
"Brother, I don't know the way. Could you please help me lead the way?"
"Okay." He grinned and smiled.
After Han Ningyuan sent He Meisheng back to her room, she had been looking for a chance to meet Peng Zexin. Unexpectedly, the servant said that he was practicing in seclusion recently and it was inconvenient to meet people.
She didn't know when he would come out of seclusion, and she was anxious, but there was no other way. She couldn't trust anyone else, so she had to put the matter on hold.
Here, Peng Zexin is practicing the fifth level of Sutra Cleansing Kung Fu in the cave. Ye Wanru is watching over him to prevent him from going crazy.
A servant's voice came from outside the cave door, saying that something urgent was coming.
Wanru was afraid of disturbing Peng Zexin's practice, so she went out and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The wing at the back of the village is on fire, and the village owner needs to take charge of the situation immediately."
"He is practicing in seclusion and cannot go. Just mobilize the people in the village to put out the fire first."
"If the leader of the village is not here, we may not be able to solve the problem. If the fire spreads throughout the village, we will all suffer. I hope you can spread the word." The young man begged.
"Absolutely not." She looked serious.
"Since the leader of the village cannot go, then Heroine Wanru may go with the younger one and take charge of the overall situation." Wanru thought about it and decided to go with him.
Although Peng Zexin does need someone to take care of him here, if the fire there is too big and cannot be controlled in time and spreads, this carefully arranged stronghold will be useless.
"You leave people here to take good care of the leader of the village. Don't let anything go wrong. Report anything in time." After giving her instructions, she flew towards the scene of the fire.
The boy gave a hint to the person next to him and followed Wanru.
There was only one boy left in the cave to take care of him, and this person was Qiao Lei, the close confidant of the Third Master. He walked closer to the cave to look for Peng Zexin. He was seen sitting cross-legged with his legs pressed tightly together, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his face. The real energy in his body was flowing around. It was the right time to strike.
He picked up a silver needle and pricked the acupuncture point at Baihui. After a moment, Peng Zexin was like a frightened bird, with his true energy flying around. After everything was done, Qiao Lei quickly escaped while he was still awake, and went to find the Third Master to recover his life.
Wanru had already arrived at the scene of the fire, but no one was living in any of the side rooms, and there were no important things in them. It didn't seem to be as serious as what the boy had said.
"Didn't you say the fire was critical?" She drew her sword and pointed it at the boy.
The boy knelt down and begged for mercy repeatedly, but his angry words were unyielding: "There was a southeast wind earlier, and the fire was uncontrollable, fearing that it would spread to several main halls in the village. Fortunately, the wind stopped later, and the fire stopped again. In addition, everyone worked hard to put out the fire and remediate the situation, and then the situation was controlled. This is obviously a good thing, but why did you draw your sword against me, Heroine?"
Several other servants also followed suit, all looking indignant. It seems that there is a general consensus of opinion after discussion.
Wanru couldn't figure it out for a while, but she always felt that there was something wrong with it, so she immediately returned to the cave.
Things turned out to be as she expected, and it turned out to be the worst result - the furnishings in the cave were in a mess, and Peng Zexin's meridians were all messed up, and he collapsed on the ground, dying. He had really gone crazy with practice.
She quickly used her kung fu to adjust his breath, temporarily sealing his meridians to prevent his qi from leaking out. She was ordered by the hall master to help this man become the master of Wanshan Village. Although she didn't know his intention, she had to follow the hall master's wishes.
Seeing that he was about to die, it was definitely too late to find a doctor. This was the only way.
