In the night sky, the moon is dim and the stars are sparse.
Brothers Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu sat together by the stream.
"Brother, where should we go to find the general?"
Meng Haowu really felt a little tired, so he lay directly on the stones. At that moment, he seemed to be completely unaware of whether there was anyone underneath him.
"If you ask me that, who can I ask?"
Meng Haowen looked at him at a loss.
At this time, he also wanted to know, but after listening to Shu Zhihan once telling them that Luo Jinyu no longer remembered who they were, wouldn't it be very troublesome even if they were really found.
He turned around and glanced at Meng Haowu, who had closed his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I asked you, shouldn't you be a little more discerning and look at where you are now? Aren't you afraid of any danger?"
Meng Haowu looked indifferent, "You are my eldest brother, could you still hurt me? I know you won't rest, so what should I be afraid of?"
Seeing Meng Haowu's trust in him, as an elder brother, he was very moved.
He looked around and made sure there was nothing unusual, so he didn't say anything else, thinking it would be best to just let him rest.
Meng Haowu's breathing gradually became calmer, and he seemed to have gradually fallen asleep.
At this moment, Meng Haowen seemed to feel an unusual noise in the woods nearby. He scanned the surrounding woods vigilantly and took a deep breath, trying to catch any unusual smells in the air.
His heart beat slightly faster, ready to respond to any possible threat.
He gently pushed aside the leaves around him and observed carefully.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning every corner of the woods, not missing any subtle clues. His ears were also perked up, listening carefully to the sounds deep in the woods to distinguish whether there were any unusual sounds.
His hand involuntarily grasped the hilt of the sword, and all the muscles in his body tensed up, like a sensitive cheetah, ready to pounce on any possible prey.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the flow of air around him and listening carefully to the almost inaudible friction of branches and leaves. His heart was beating in sync with the rhythm of the earth and resonating with the whistling of the wind.
Suddenly, Meng Haowen opened his eyes suddenly, and his body jumped in one direction like lightning. In that direction, a cold light flashed, followed by a scream. When Meng Haowen stood still again, the sword in his hand was already stained with blood.
The woods were quiet again, except for the sword in Meng Haowen's hand dripping with blood.
His eyes were firm and cold. When he walked over and saw a girl standing in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Meng Haowen's eyes widened and he carefully looked at the person in front of him.
Standing in front of him was the long-lost Chickweed. Meng Haowen couldn't help but feel very surprised by her appearance.
Many questions arose in his mind about what he had experienced and why he suddenly appeared here again.
He wanted to rush over and ask her everything.
However, he also felt a little uneasy.
Chickweed held her painful arm tightly, staring at Meng Haowen with astonishment in her eyes like a bottomless pool.
Meng Haowen stared at Chickweed quietly.
At this moment, the air between the two seemed to be filled with tension and conflict.
Chickweed's heart was filled with confusion and doubts. Seeing a hint of murderous intent in Meng Haowen's eyes, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Vice General Wen, I didn't expect to see you here."
Meng Haowen didn't seem to want to chat with her, and asked directly: "Why are you here?"
"Vice General Wen, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Meng Haowen interrupted her.
"If you want to say something I don't want to hear, then just don't say it.
Go wherever you need to go. "
Meng Haowen
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the river.
Chickweed looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but think that if he appeared in this place, he must be looking for Luo Jinyu's whereabouts. If she could follow him, wouldn't it be easier? .
She covered her injured arm and slowly followed behind Meng Haowen.
Meng Haowen turned his head slightly, and he felt that the woman had not left, but seemed to be following him.
He couldn't help but turn around and look, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you following me?"
"Vice General Wen, I'm injured now. It seems I can't leave alone. So, I think I'd better stay with you first. What do you think?"
Meng Haowen did not expect that she would actually want to be with them, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"The only thing you injured is your arm. I guess it shouldn't affect anything. Anyway, you are a girl and you will be in a lot of inconvenience when you are with us two grown men."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care. We've known each other for so long, and I think it's safest if I'm with you.
Besides, although my arm is injured, I am just a weak woman, and I don’t know Kung Fu. I am still injured now. I was lost in the forest for a long time just now, so just let me follow you. "
While the two of them were talking, Meng Haowu was awakened by the sound of their voices.
Dimly, he seemed to hear a woman's voice, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. He once suspected that he was hallucinating.
He half-closed his eyes and sat up forcefully.
Meng Haowu did not look back, but said angrily: "Brother, who are you talking to? Why do I feel like I heard a woman's voice?"
"You heard me right, just look back and see for yourself."
Hearing what Meng Haowen said, he seemed to wake up instantly and quickly turned his head to look.
When he saw Chickweed standing there, he was stunned.
He stood up from the ground with a shudder, and walked over without even having time to dust himself off.
He pointed at the chickweed and asked with a frown: "Why are you here? Are you following us?"
"Vice General Wu, what are you talking about? How could I be following you?"
She looked so happy that if it were the man next to her, she might have been intoxicated. However, she had no choice but to face these two brothers now.
It seems that they are not familiar with the words "Lianxiangxiyu".
"You are hurt??"
As Meng Haowu asked, he looked at Meng Haowen. With a look, he understood that the injury was caused by his elder brother.
But what he found strange was why this woman appeared here.
"Well, Chickweed, since you are injured, then come with us. The two of us brothers are going back to the General's Mansion anyway, so we can just go on the road together."
As soon as his words came out, the two people in front of him felt confused for a while.
Meng Haowen wanted to ask why, but was suppressed by his eyes.
At this time, Chickweed couldn't help but feel surprised, but still kept a smile on her face, nodded and said: "Okay, this is really what I want."
She was gambling in her mind.
She just wanted to bet that the two brothers didn't really want to go back to the General's Mansion.
After all, there must be something important for the two of them to come out so quietly. Thinking about it now, they must also be looking for Luo Jinyu.
Chickweed counted the days until she was poisoned, and told herself that she must find a way, otherwise, if Luo Jinyu was not found by the time, she would die from the poison.
Meng Haowu noticed something was wrong on her face, and immediately said: "Chickweed, you see you are injured, there is no doctor here now, so how about it, you take a rest here first, I will come with my elder brother
Go to the forest to see if there are any medicinal herbs, so that I can treat your wound so that it doesn't get serious again. "
After hearing this, what Chickweed thought was that the two brothers must have wanted to run away and throw themselves away.
But she couldn't say anything else, so she nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'll help you two lieutenants."
Meng Haowu dragged Meng Haowen towards the forest.
As soon as he entered, Meng Haowen threw his hand away, "Why did you leave that woman here, and why did you tell her that we were going back to the General's Mansion? Have you forgotten what we came out to do? ?"
Listening to his angry voice, Meng Haowu couldn't help but smile.
"Brother, don't be angry, how could I forget.
But have you ever thought about why this woman is here? Did she leave the General's Mansion to start a business? "
"It is precisely because of these doubts that I thought of sending her away quickly."
"That's wrong, brother. If you just drive her away that simply, you are really wrong."
Meng Haowen was somewhat reluctant to agree with what he said, and asked full of doubts: "What do you mean by this? How could I be wrong?"
It could be heard that there was a little impatience in his words.
Meng Haowu tried his best to comfort him: "Brother, when did you become my upper body? Why are you so anxious and impetuous like me before?
What I want to say is, Chickweed has lived in the General's Mansion since she was a child, how could she suddenly leave.
To be honest, before we came out, Mi Yue had already told me that this woman left the general's mansion and was kicked out by her. At that time, I already felt very strange.
What we didn't expect was that we would meet her here. "
"If there is such a thing, then why didn't you tell me?"
Meng Haowu sighed softly and said, "I didn't feel anything was wrong at first. It wasn't until I saw her appear in front of me just now that I felt something was wrong."
"Now what?"
"Now, let's go find some herbs first."
Meng Haowu smiled slightly and gently dragged him to continue walking into the forest.
