When I got home, Hongyu had already prepared dinner.
Three very simple dishes, braised fish, fish soup, and a plate of small green vegetables.
"time to eat."
Hongyu stood at the door and said immediately when she saw the two people.
The house was already lighted.
There's no electricity here.
Unexpectedly, Tie Niu stepped forward and directly grabbed Hong Yu's hand, shook it, and said excitedly: "Hong Yu, good news, great news."
Hongyu's face turned red, she glanced at Zhao Tianming secretly, took her hand away, glared at Tieniu, and said, "What are you doing? Speak up, someone is here."
Tieniu was stunned, let go, and said incoherently: "Abu said he could cure the scar on your face so that you can marry me. You are the most beautiful woman in the village. No one will dare to bully you anymore." .”
ah?
Hongyu's face changed greatly, her body trembled slightly, she glared at Zhao Tianming and said, "I took you in with good intentions, but you dare to lie to Tieniu? What are your intentions?"
Zhao Tianming quickly said: "Miss Hongyu, I didn't lie. I can really heal the scars on your face."
"Really? How do you treat it?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
The village chief walked in with a dark face.
"village head!"
Hongyu and Tieniu shouted quickly.
The village chief came to Zhao Tianming and said in a deep voice: "Do you think you can cure the scar on Hongyu's face?"
"Yes, I can."
Zhao Tianming is not guilty.
"Do you know medical skills?"
"right."
"Even if you are really good at medicine, I have never heard anyone say that there is any medicine that can heal this kind of old injury. Moreover, even if there is, it is in the Imperial Capital of Qin, and the ointment must be difficult to make and the price will be high. Tianji, you said you could cure it, don’t you think it’s a joke? What are your intentions?”
The village chief suddenly roared.
Hongyu quickly stepped forward and said: "Village chief, Abu is just joking with Tieniu. Don't take it seriously and don't be harsh with him."
"If you still protect him, if they sell you later, you will still have to help him count the money."
The village chief said angrily.
Zhao Tianming said calmly: "I'm not bragging. I can really heal her injuries. If you don't believe it, I will heal it for you tomorrow."
I didn't expect that at this time, he would still insist that he could cure it.
The village chief became even more angry and sneered: "Okay, let me ask you, didn't you say you have lost your memory? How come you have medical skills? How do you explain this?"
This was the reason why he was angry. He felt that Zhao Tianming was simply lying.
Since I don't even remember my own name, how could I still remember such an important thing?
Besides, if you tell anyone about this kind of thing, it will only make you laugh.
There are quite a few people in this village with sword wounds like this...
Who doesn’t want to get rid of scars, but I’ve never heard anyone say that.
The village chief is well-informed. He has been in the world, but he has only heard of this magical medical skill and has never seen it before.
Zhao Tianming was well prepared and said calmly: "Village Chief, I have indeed lost my memory, but it's not that I don't remember anything at all. I vaguely remember that I used to be a teacher and I lived a lot on a mountain. Years ago, my teacher taught me medical skills, and his medical skills were the best in the world. He seemed to be called the Living King of Hell, so I still remember some of his medical skills."
The Living King of Hell is real, and what he says is also true.
But here, it’s a lie.
The village chief was stunned and frowned: "Really?"
Zhao Tianming said: "Of course it is true. If you don't believe it, I will go to the mountain to collect medicine tomorrow. When I come back, I can make ointment. If you don't believe it, I can treat the injury myself first. It just so happens that I also have such scars on my body. , you will naturally believe me when the time comes."
Seeing him speaking so seriously, Tieniu became extremely excited.
"I take my brother at his word."
he said loudly.
The village chief's expression changed slightly: "What did you say? Who is your brother?"
"Abu, he is my brother."
"you--"
The village chief was furious.
He's already living in Hongyu's house, but you still regard him as your brother?
Are you stupid?
Aren't you afraid that your future wife will be cheated away?
Everyone in the village knew that Tieniu liked Hongyu.
Of course the village chief also knew, and he also knew why Hongyu didn't marry.
She just has low self-esteem.
If she could be cured of her injuries, it would be an explanation for her dead grandfather. When the village chief thought this, his tone softened a lot.
"Okay, you will treat her injuries tomorrow, but you must treat yourself first. If you can cure her injuries by then, from now on, this will be your home. You can stay as long as you want, with me here. Absolutely no one will bully you. If you can’t be cured, I will send you to the border town tomorrow and hand you over to the Lord of the City."
"City Lord?"
Zhao Tianming asked curiously: "Who is he?"
ah?
The village chief seriously suspected that Zhao Tianming was lying.
Even the city lord doesn’t know?
This doesn't make sense.
But if it's a lie and a pretense, isn't it too fake?
"Then leave it alone."
The village chief was too lazy to pay attention to him, but turned to Hongyu and said: "Hongyu, starting from tomorrow, you should not go fishing alone in the sea recently."
"Why?"
Hongyu was a little confused.
Fishing can supplement family income. Although it is risky, it is also the only source of income for people in the village.
"It's not just you who can't go, everyone in the village can't go."
"Why?"
Even Tieniu was a little curious.
"There is a war going on in the border town. In the Yan State on the other side of the Magic Mountain, cavalry have been harassing the border town recently. I heard that the fighting has been fierce recently. Although our place is very remote, there is no guarantee that the defeated Yan State cavalry will not flee here. Bian Lai, at sea, the target is too obvious and can easily attract their attention. If they find this place, the consequences will be serious. I don’t want the tragedy of the year to happen again."
Zhao Tianming's eyes flashed.
Yan State?
Magic Mountain?
That's a bit interesting.
"What is the relationship between Yan State and Magic Mountain?"
Zhao Tianming asked subconsciously.
He found that the village chief didn't seem to be too clear just now and was hiding something. It seemed that the village chief knew more information.
This village chief is also a bit interesting.
not simple!
The village chief said with some vigilance: "Do you still know about the Magic Mountain?"
Zhao Tianming looked sincere: "In my memory, I seem to have heard my teacher talk about the Magic Mountain. The name is very familiar, but I have no impression of Yan State at all, so I asked out of curiosity."
"Is this really true? You are not a spy of Yan State, are you?"
the village chief asked suddenly.
sweat……
Zhao Tianming was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry: "Village chief, do you think I look like me? Can you trust me a little between people? I swear that I have no ill intentions towards you. If I harm you or hurt you in the future, I will Let me die badly!"
"I don't believe in the oath. Didn't you say that you can heal Hongyu's injuries? When you do it tomorrow, I will never doubt you again. From now on, this is your home. I will do what I say. If you dare to lie to me, You’re dead, huh!”
After saying that, the village chief turned around and walked away.
