Half an hour later, the boy in the short shirt seemed to have finished sorting out all the things he wanted to sort out. Chunchuangdie tied it three times and carefully checked whether the black cloth strip was tied properly. Yamanoyuki also wiped off the blood on the sword. The engraved words "Jackdaws noisy at night, Qiao Mu misses his hometown" were clearly visible, but he still couldn't wait for the caravan to come, and wondered why the steward and the uncles escorting the caravan hadn't come yet.
I had to secretly look at Yue Hanzhi on the hillside, and saw that she was leaning against the cherry blossom tree and looking into the distance as if she was thinking about something. The petals of the cherry blossom tree in March were flying, and there was such a woman in blue wearing a sword under the tree. , the mountain scenery here is even more beautiful...
The cherry blossoms are blowing all over the mountains and the wind is blowing in the valley, and the beautiful shadows under the flowers stand in the distance.
It didn't matter who had no choice but to turn around. The woman in blue noticed it. She turned her head and looked intently at the boy in a short shirt down the hillside. Lin Manliu then smiled awkwardly and turned his head back.
"Miss Yue... I see that the caravan manager and the escorting uncles haven't arrived yet. I'm going to check it out. Why don't you wait here for a while?" The boy in a short shirt didn't know how to start a conversation with him. I had to prepare to find the whereabouts of the caravan.
"Well..." The woman in blue just responded and then lost her voice.
Seeing this, the boy in a short shirt had no choice but to carry his belongings and walk down the mountain. He didn't go a hundred steps when he saw a figure running in a hurry. He knew him very well. He was a caravan man traveling eastward. Lin Manliu fought with him. After greeting, the man opposite informed Lin Manliu about the current situation of the caravan.
"Brother Manliu, the steward is taking a break at the foot of the mountain to check everyone's belongings. He ordered me to come up to find Brother Manliu and inform him of the situation."
"Did you tell me when you are going to leave? I have nothing to do here and can leave at any time." The boy in a short shirt said, and then he was about to go down the mountain with him, and seemed to have forgotten something.
"No, no, the steward specifically asked the Manliu brothers to take a look at the scenery on the hillside and relax. The caravan has just been in danger and now we need everyone to rest for a while before continuing on their way." The man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"That's it... Then I'll trouble you, uncle. Let me know when the caravan is about to set off." The boy in the short shirt could only nod and said, not letting himself go down the mountain to meet the caravan. The steward didn't know what he was doing. I'm also afraid that I won't be able to share the things on these thieves.
Although he was thinking so in his heart, he could only go back to the hillside and wait. Since he didn't want to go down the mountain, so why not do it. Lin Manliu just returned to the small dirt slope on the hillside where he was sitting, and waited for him to sit down. Only then did he dare to look back and say: "Miss Yue, the steward of the caravan told me that we need to rest for a while before setting off. I don't know where the girl will go from now on. If you are traveling with us, you can go with us." Convenient for healing."
"I just happened to pass by here...I will leave on my own as soon as I gain some strength."
"Miss Yue rescued me... everyone in our caravan was injured. We need to be responsible for this matter to the end."
"It's really not necessary, I just happened to be passing by." Yue Hanzhi said and was about to get up. However, as soon as he got up, he seemed to have forgotten that he still had an injury on his left hand, so he almost fell to the ground and leaned under the cherry blossom tree.
"Miss Yue!" Lin Manliu hurriedly ran up the hillside to help the woman in blue.
Yue Hanzhi suddenly looked warily at the boy in a short shirt who was supporting him in front of the mountain. The boy was so frightened that he stopped moving and did not dare to take another step forward. Seeing this, she continued to look at the bandage on her hand against the cherry blossom tree. The wound seemed to be open. Some blood seeped out again.
"What was tied up just now? It's so rough..." The woman in blue sighed and muttered to herself in a low voice, looking at the bleeding cloth wrapped around her left hand and preparing to remove it and rebandage it.
"I just went out for training, so I'm still very new to dealing with wounds. Please forgive me, Miss Chaoyue," the boy in short shirt said with his hands in hand, feeling sad to see that he seemed to dislike the temporary bandage.
However, after removing the strip of cloth and cleaning the wound again, Yue Hanzhi found that it was not convenient for him to bandage himself with one hand, so he had to look at the young man in front of him who did not dare to move even half a step.
"It's just that I got up rashly on my own and used too much force. It's not because I thought your bandage wasn't good... I still need your help." Yue Hanzhi tilted her head to one side, stretched out her left hand and handed it to her. boy in short shirt.
Lin Manliu then reapplied the wound medicine, bandaged the wound with a new strip of cloth and said to the woman in blue in front of him, "It's bandaged. Miss Yue's other two wounds are more serious than her left hand. You have to be careful not to pull the wound." Then he prepared to return to the small slope where he was sitting to continue waiting for news from the caravan.
"Thank you... Just sit here. The injury is like this because of my own inability and it has nothing to do with you." Yue Hanzhi looked at the bandaged left hand and shook his head. After speaking, he looked at the young man in front of him.
"If the girl hadn't sacrificed her life to help, we would have been among the thieves who fell to the ground. Thank you very much..." The boy in the short shirt said after he handed over to him, and then sat casually on the ground.
"That's right... why don't you go clean it first?" The woman in blue interrupted Lin Manliu and continued.
"Ah..." Lin Manliu was confused at first, and then he remembered that before he could clean up the blood stains on his face, when he was killing the bandit leader, the man sitting high on his horse was pinned down by a branch of his own. He stabbed his throat and blood splashed all over him like a waterfall.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Yue, just wait a moment." The boy in a short shirt hurriedly got up and walked down to his original position, went to get a bamboo tube filled with water, poured some water into his hands, and carefully washed it, but the blood stains all over his body were not covered by this little water. Can be washed.
After a while, the boy in a short shirt sat back down to his previous position and nodded to the cold moon branches under the tree, grinning. However, there was still some blood on his face, but it did not affect the young man's clean and clear eyes at all.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you that your words are a little too reserved, and then you are too tongue-tied?" The woman in blue looked at the giggling young man in front of her.
"Master often talks about me imitating the masters in the school but not being able to imitate them, and then pretending to be a scholar and speaking poorly... But I am very vulgar, I didn't have many friends before, and I don't know how to talk to others. I learned it all from the storytellers on the street." Lin Manliu muttered as if recalling the past.
"As expected... Anyway, as I am now, I may really be able to walk with you for a while," Yue Hanzhi said with a long sigh of relief.
At this time, the breeze blew by, causing the petals to fall from the branches or scatter on the ground to float gently, flying past the two of them. Such a beautiful scene. The two of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw the cherry blossom petals flying around them. The boy in the short shirt was thinking about the cherry blossom trees beside the stream outside the east city of his hometown. When he returned home, he didn't know if the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom. He would take his master out of the city. Looking at it together, the thoughts of the woman in blue seem to follow these petals flying into the distance.
In March, the cherry trees were in full bloom, and the young man traveled to Qianzhou, waiting for everything to be settled and his return date approaching.
