Seeing Lu Xinghe come to her side to help her carry the bucket, Chu Yue smiled lightly and said, "Ms. sir, what were you looking for in the house just now?"
"It's nothing. I thought it was a rat stealing the food, so I went to look for it at home."
Chu Yue was stunned, "Have you found it?"
Lu Xinghe hummed, "I found two."
"Is it really a rat?" Chu Yue stood up, "Is the rat still in the house?"
"Still here. After watering, we'll go catch the mice later." From the beginning to the end, the expression on Lu Xinghe's face was calm, and Chu Yue couldn't see the slightest clue.
Zuo Yi, who was carefully observing the movements of the two people, twitched his lips when he heard this.
Guess the mice Lu Xinghe was talking about were himself and his master?
He was just threatening with a sword, but he actually called himself and his master mice? He is truly a man who will retaliate for his anger.
After watering, Lu Xinghe took Chu Yue's hand.
"Let's go take a look inside."
Chu Yue nodded, looking at him holding her hand tightly with a slight smile on her lips.
She is not a timid person. She has dissected animals before, even a mouse, and she didn't think anything of it.
Seeing her calm look, Lu Xinghe asked with some confusion, "Aren't you afraid?"
"A mouse is not a tiger. It should be afraid of me."
Lu Xinghe smiled, "You are bold and different."
He almost forgot that this girl looked thin and small, but she was always brave. It was just that he always felt that she needed to be protected.
After entering the house, the imaginary rat was not seen, but a familiar face was seen. Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. sir, is this the rat you are talking about?"
Lu Xinghe hummed, "Isn't it similar?"
After hearing what Lu Xinghe said, Chu Yue smiled awkwardly.
"Ms. sir, he is standing in front of us."
The key point is that this man is still holding a long sword in his arms, which makes him difficult to offend at first glance. If he is offended, his life may be in danger.
Zuo Yi ignored Lu Xinghe, bowed to Chu Yue and said, "Please girl, please save my master."
Chu Yue then looked towards the bed. Lying on the bed was an eighty-nine-year-old boy. He was dressed in extraordinary clothes, but his face was so dirty that it was almost impossible to tell what he looked like.
However, the red mole on the forehead was still conspicuous. Chu Yue was a little surprised. Wasn't this child the target of the search by the officers and soldiers in the past two days?
If this saves him, will it make him angry?
She looked back in the direction of Lu Xinghe with some uncertainty, "Mr. sir?"
"I don't know if there will be any reward. It's up to you whether to save him or not." Lu Xinghe said quietly.
As soon as the words came out, Zuo Yi's forehead started to beat wildly, and he quickly pulled out a small silver ingot from his bag.
"Miss Chu, as long as you agree to save my master, these ten taels of silver will be yours."
Chu Yue is not someone who has never seen money. Although she loves money, she has not shown full interest in it. In today's world, it is good to save one life. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy life.
Lu Xinghe remained calm, "Is your master's life worth ten taels of silver?"
The left side looked embarrassed, "But I only have ten taels here."
"Then let's go."
After saying that, he took Chu Yue and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Zuo Yiyi.
"Wait a minute, you two. We can talk about what you want, right? Why don't you two make a price?"
"One thousand taels, otherwise no discussion."
Zuo Yi was full of surprise, "One thousand taels? Are you kidding me? Even if you sell me, I won't be able to get so much money."
He hadn't mentioned revenge in the mountains before, and this man had rescued him. He must still be resentful of the threat he had made to him. If he had known that he was so petty, he shouldn't have been so reckless in the first place.
Lu Xinghe said quietly, "First of all, your master's life is worth this money. Furthermore, we have taken certain risks in saving your master. If you don't agree, we will leave now and pretend that we have never met you."
Seeing Lu Xinghe's firm attitude, Zuo Yi couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he bit the bullet and agreed.
"I can promise a thousand taels of silver for the consultation, but I really can't afford that much money right now." He took a waist tag from his waist and handed it to Chu Yue along with the ten taels of silver in his hand. , "This waist badge is an extremely important thing to me. Please keep it, girl. I will redeem it later when I have collected another nine hundred and ninety taels of silver."
Chu Yue couldn't make up her mind and looked in the direction of Lu Xinghe.
Seeing him nodding, he took the things handed over by Zuo Yi, put them away, and went to the bedside to examine the boy.
She first observed the boy's face, then reached out to take his pulse, and then removed the cotton tied to the wound on his chest.
Because the wound was treated carelessly, the cotton cloth and flesh had stuck together. When Chu Yue took off the cotton cloth, the unconscious boy frowned slightly.
She turned to look at Lu Xinghe behind her, "Mr. sir, why don't you go back and help me get the medicine box, along with some water, salt, needle and thread, and a clean handkerchief."
Lu Xinghe nodded, looked in the direction to the left and went out.
Zuo Yi looked at Lu Xinghe's back and said jokingly, "You're a very petty husband."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue's face immediately turned cold.
"Yeah?"
Seeing the sudden change in the little girl's expression, Zuo Yi touched his nose with some guilt, "Well... I was just joking. Miss Chu, please don't take it seriously."
After Chu Yue heard this, she no longer had the same experience as him.
After a while, Lu Xinghe brought what Chu Yue wanted.
After Chu Yue had everything ready, she looked at Zuo Yi and asked, "Do you have a dagger?"
Zuo Yi was stunned, stepped forward, took out the dagger tied to the boy's calf and handed it to Chu Yue's hand.
Chu Yue took the dagger, passed it over with a fire knife, and then began to clean the rotten flesh on the boy's wound.
It seems that the enemy's weapons were poisoned, causing the skin at the wound to rot.
If it is not cleaned up in time, it will cause trouble when toxins enter the organs.
Watching Chu Yue clean the rotten flesh from the boy's wound with one knife after another, Zuo Yi's brows knitted into a ball, wondering if the master was in pain?
The child on the bed seemed to be aware of the pain. He woke up and his eyes touched Chu Yue, who was dressed in simple clothes. In the hazy state, he felt that her whole body was covered with a layer of light. He looked at her with some grievances.
"pain……"
"I'm cleaning your wound. It'll be healed soon. Don't move yet."
The soft voice reached his ears, and the boy nodded slightly, closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
A quarter of an hour later, the rotten flesh on the boy's wound was cleaned. After Chu Yue cleaned his wound with clean water, she took a needle and thread to sew his slightly larger skin together.
Half an hour later, the boy's wounds were bandaged properly.
