Li Yu happily ran to the woods outside the inn door, the chirping of cicadas lingering in his ears. Li Yu listened to the sound and used Qinggong to fly in the woods, grabbing the cicada on the tree happily. After a while, he caught several cicadas. Li Yu sat cross-legged on a thicker branch and looked at his trophies with satisfaction.
Just when Li Yu was about to tear off the cicada's wings, he remembered that when he went shopping with his mother, he saw someone holding a bird stand, and there was a colorful bird on the bird stand, even without the restraints of a cage. , the bird did not fly away.
Li Yu asked: "Mom, why is there no cage and why doesn't the bird fly away?"
Ouyang Lan replied: "Because those people have lost the feathers of the birds. Without the feathers on the wings of the birds, they cannot fly in the sky."
Li Yu looked at the cicadas in his hand and murmured: "If I tear off their wings, they won't be able to fly anymore." Then he waved his hand and released the cicadas in his hand. . The cicada chirped and flew into the distance.
Li Yu said to himself: "Really, I'm the only one. Even if I catch the cicada monkey, no one will play with me. I'd better go back."
Li Yu stood up and was about to jump off the branch when he suddenly heard a "crunch" and the branch he was standing on actually broke! Li Yu's face changed drastically. He was frightened by the sudden situation. His body became unstable and he fell on his back. Just as he was falling, Li Yu quickly closed his feet and kicked hard on the thick branches of the big tree. Then he did a somersault in the air and staggered to the ground. When he landed, he still had the remaining force from the sudden kick on the tree, so Li Yu had no choice but to retreat. In the process of retreating, Li Yu felt something hit his back and fell to the ground.
"Ouch! Ouch! Who is so ignorant!" came the voice of an old woman.
When Li Yu heard the sound, he quickly got up, turned around and saw an old woman lying on her side on the ground. Li Yu quickly went to help the old woman and said, "Old woman, are you okay?"
The old woman was rubbing her legs and said, "What are you doing? Hit me, an old woman!"
Li Yu apologized while supporting her: "Old lady, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
Seeing that Li Yu was still a child, the old woman softened her tone and said, "What are you doing in the woods, kid?"
"I, I, I was playing in the woods. I'm really sorry that I didn't see you." Li Yu still apologized.
Li Yu had just helped the old woman up, but before she could stand firm, "Ah!" the old woman yelled, fell down again, and said with a look of embarrassment on her face, "I seem to have twisted my foot, and now it hurts so much that I can't stand up." ah!"
Li Yu supported the old woman's arm with his shoulders, "I'm supporting you, please slow down."
But for a ten-year-old child, it was still a bit difficult to lift the old woman to walk. Li Yu slowly put the old woman on the ground and said breathlessly: "Old woman, wait a moment, I'll call someone!"
Li Yu quickly ran back to the inn, rushed into the room, and said to Zhao Shu: "Master Zhao, come and help!"
Zhao Shu was closing his eyes to rest when he saw Li Yu rushing in panting and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oops! Stop asking, come and help me first!" Li Yu grabbed Zhao Shu's arm and walked out.
Li Yu led Zhao Shu out of the inn and came to the side of the old woman. The old woman was on the ground, whining non-stop.
Li Yu quickly called Zhao Shu, "Master Zhao, help me. Help this old woman into the inn first."
Zhao Shu looked at the old woman warily and asked, "Old woman, how are you?"
"My foot hurts so much, maybe it's twisted!"
Zhao Shu asked again: "What are you doing here so late?"
"I went out to dig some wild vegetables. I just dug a basket and was about to go home when this kid knocked me over!"
Li Yu was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, old lady."
Zhao Shu said: "Yu'er, you go look for the old woman's basket, and I'll help her." Zhao Shu supported the old woman, and grabbed her arm to test, to make sure that the old woman had no martial arts skills. , relaxed his mind, and helped the old woman into the inn.
Zhao Shu helped the old woman sit on the stool, poured some water for the old man, and asked, "Old man, how do you feel now?"
The old man stepped on it tentatively with his foot, "My feet still hurt! I probably won't be able to walk."
Zhao Shu said: "Old man, can I take a look?"
"Oh? Are you a doctor?"
"Um. No. But I know some medical skills."
"Okay. Then show me."
Zhao Shu touched the old woman's ankle and found that it was indeed sprained. "Old man, your ankle is sprained. Please bear with it and I will straighten it for you first."
The old woman had no choice but to nod. Zhao Shu held her ankle and pushed it hard, hearing a "click" and straightened it back.
"Yeah!" The sudden pain made the old woman scream.
Zhao Shu said: "Okay. However, I guess you won't be able to walk for a while."
Ouyang Lan and Jian Xin heard noises outside, went out to look, and saw an old woman sitting in the hall, with Zhao Shu and Li Yu next to them. The two walked over and Ouyang Lan asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Shu said: "It's nothing, madam. An old man has a sprain."
Ouyang Lan saw this and asked, "Old man, what's going on?"
The old woman looked at Li Yu with a hesitant look. Li Yu said at this time: "I was playing outside just now and accidentally bumped into this old woman."
Ouyang Lan looked angry, "If you ignore you for a while, you will get into trouble, right? You don't know how to look at people when you play, right? Can such an old woman withstand your collision?"
Li Yu lowered his head and said with some shame, "Mom, I was wrong."
Zhao Shu said: "It's okay, madam. The old man's injury is not serious."
Ouyang Lan said: "It's not serious, even if it's not serious! This child really has no rules at all!" Then he said to the old woman: "I'm sorry, old man, I don't know how to teach my son."
"It's okay. It's okay for children to run around and play. It's just that my foot is injured. How should I go back?"
Ouyang Lan looked outside and saw that it was already dark, and said, "Let's do this. I'll ask the store owner to open a room for you. I'll send you some food later. I'll take you home at dawn tomorrow."
The old woman waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no. My family knows I'm out. If I don't come home all night, they will definitely be anxious!"
"This..." Ouyang Lan looked outside and said, "Zhao Shu, how about you drive a carriage and send this old woman back in a while."
Zhao Shu hesitated and said, "If I go to see this old man off, what will you do at the inn?"
Ouyang Lan said disapprovingly: "It's okay."
Zhao Shu was still a little worried and said, "Well, let's go see this old man off together. Although we are near the official road, I still feel uneasy about leaving the three of you in the inn."
Ouyang Lan nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
With the help of four people, the old woman was helped into the carriage. After everyone got ready in the carriage, Zhao Shu said: "Don't close the curtain. Old man, where is your home? Please show me the way."
The old woman pointed to a path and said, "Okay, go in that direction."
Zhao Shu nodded and drove his horse in the direction pointed by the old man. Ouyang Lan took some scattered silver and handed it to the old woman and said, "Old man, I'm really sorry. My son has no eyesight and bumped into you. This little money was used to pay for your medical treatment at that time."
The old man refused: "Madam, you are too polite. The young master has been apologizing just now. He is a polite and good boy. There is no need for this silver. It is common for people in the village to get injured. I will go home and rest for a few days. God will be fine."
Ouyang Lan said: "How can it be done? You'd better take it."
Jian Xin also said: "Yes, old man, just take it. Go back and buy some delicious food to replenish your health." The old woman accepted the money.
The carriage continued to move in the direction the old woman said. After a while, they had walked seven or eight miles. Zhao Shu asked: "Old man, where is your home? How far is it?"
The old man's tone became a little nervous and he said: "It's almost there."
We came to another fork in the road. On one side, we could see faint lights from a distance, while on the other side, there was a dark forest. The old man pointed to the dim road. Zhao Shu was a little suspicious and said: "Old man, is your home so far away?"
The old man said hesitantly: "Just go through this forest."
Zhao Shu drove the carriage towards the woods and slowed down. The carriage drove slowly deep into the woods, and Zhao Shu was alert to the surroundings. Suddenly, Zhao Shu saw a ray of light coming towards him. Zhao Shu took the hidden weapon with his hand. It was a shining flying knife. Zhao Shu threw away the flying knife, stopped the carriage, and said, "Who put the hidden weapon?"
Zhao Shu's eyes were focused on the front. There were several people holding torches, and there were at least a dozen people following in the dark, all with weapons in their hands. Zhao Shu felt that the visitor was unkind and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
The leader said: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. I want to pass by here and leave money to buy the road!"
Zhao Shu hurriedly laughed and said: "It turns out that this is the territory of several uncles. I have fifty taels here for you to drink." Zhao Shu took out a bag of silver taels. After all, he didn't know how many people there were, but in this dark place, Zhao Shu just wanted to lose money and eliminate disaster.
The leader sneered: "We have so many brothers, and you just want to throw away fifty taels?"
Zhao Shu said: "We are new to the treasure land and don't know the rules. Please have a lot of it, Your Excellency."
The leader showed a bright knife and said: "Just tell me if you have money or not! If you have money, give me money! If you don't have money, huh! I'm going to die!"
Zhao Shu looked at the old woman behind him and asked, "Are these people working with you?"
The old man lowered his head, swayed back and forth, and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to this matter. When Zhao Shu saw this, he grabbed the old man, pinched her neck, and said: "They all come out to hang out in the world. It's not easy for everyone. I will keep fifty taels with you, and I will let this old man go. If we really want to fight, If the fish dies and the net breaks, I'm afraid everyone will have a hard time."
