Xiang'er held back her tears, nodded, and gently helped Wen Fu up. Xia Feng went to bed and sat cross-legged, placing his palms flat against Wen Fu's vest, boosting his energy and energy, and slowly sending his inner energy over.
After a while, Wen Fu woke up. Xia Feng then stopped and got out of bed. Wenfu looked at Xiang'er who was crying and said, "Xiang'er, I'm much better. Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
When Xiang'er saw her father waking up, she quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, my daughter is fine. How do you feel?"
Wen Fu took a breath and said to Xia Feng: "Xia Shaoxia, thank you for saving our father and daughter. This kindness and kindness will be unforgettable by our father and daughter!"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside. Wenfu and Xiang'er were shocked, thinking that someone from the bank had left and returned. Xia Feng quickly told them not to be nervous and not come out yet, while he went out to see who it was.
Xia Feng left the room, came to the door of the yard, opened the door, and saw a vigorous old man, a young and beautiful girl, and two handsome young men standing there.
Xia Feng saw the old man holding a cane, the girl wearing a sword on her waist, and the young man carrying a sword on his back. Although the four of them seemed to be smiling, Xia Feng looked at them very warily.
Xia Feng hesitated for a moment and asked coldly: "What can you do?"
These four people were none other than Old Man Ximen, Feixiang, Feiying, and Luo Chuan. They followed Xia Feng's carriage and entered the village. When they saw Xia Feng entering Wen's house, they came and knocked on the door.
Old man Ximen just saw Xia Feng's extraordinary skill and wanted to get acquainted with Xia Feng and get to know more about this young man. Now that Old Man Ximen has accepted a friend's commission to protect Wu Zetian when she goes to Beijing, he naturally hopes to get more experts to help.
After hearing Xia Feng's question, Feixiang looked at the four of them very warily, knowing that he was afraid that the four of them were the accomplices of the people in the bank just now.
Feixiang said quickly: "Young hero, we passed by here. We are hungry, tired, and very thirsty. We want to take a rest at your house, is that okay?"
Xia Feng hesitated for a while and said: "I'm sorry, I have something going on at home right now and it's not convenient for you to entertain you. Please find another place for the four of you!"
Seeing Xia Feng's refusal, Feixiang immediately said: "Young hero, you see we are already at the door, why bother looking for another place? Don't worry, we will pay you!"
At this time, Xiang'er saw that the people were not from the bank, but passers-by looking for a place to rest. Xiang'er is kind-hearted and always willing to help others. In the past, people passing by often asked for help. Xiang'er and her father would help enthusiastically and never refuse.
Seeing that Xia Feng wouldn't let these people in, Xiang'er walked to the door and said to Xia Feng: "Brother Xia, these guests are tired from walking, we can't turn them away. Besides, there is an old man, please Let them come in!”
After hearing this, Xia Feng had no choice but to invite the four people from Ximenshan into the courtyard. Ximen Shan quickly thanked Xia Feng and Xiang'er, and Feixiang and the other three also followed suit.
Xiang'er bowed in return and immediately invited the four of them to sit down at the table in the courtyard. Xiang'er turned around and entered the room, and quickly came out with a tea tray. She put the tea tray on the table, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for each of the four people in Ximenshan.
Ximen Shan nodded and thanked Xiang'er. After drinking the tea, Ximen Shan said: "Miss Duomeng, I can't thank you enough for your help. We have been traveling for a few days and are indeed a little tired. I wonder if we can rest some time at the Lord's Mansion." When? But don’t worry, we will pay you some compensation and you won’t eat and drink for free.”
Xiang'er was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Old man, in normal times, there would be no problem. It's just that something bad happened to my family today. If you stay here, I'm afraid it won't be good for you. I'll wait until you have a rest. It’s better to go to the neighbor’s house!”
Feixiang and others knew that she was afraid that the gang from the bank would cause trouble and implicate the four of them. Feixiang looked at Xiang'er and saw that she was very beautiful. She seemed to be a few years younger than him and about the same age as his younger sister Tianxiang.
Feixiang said quickly: "Sister, what happened? Is someone here to bully you? Don't worry, if someone dares to act recklessly and bully good people, we will never agree."
When Xiang'er heard this, she looked at Feixiang again in surprise, and then realized that Feixiang was not only beautiful, but also had a sword hanging from her waist. She had a heroic appearance and was obviously a martial artist. The other three must also be from the martial arts world, and their martial arts skills should be higher than this girl's.
Xiang'er was naturally overjoyed and quickly told Ximenshan and others what happened. This small fishing village is located by the Baihe River. There are not many paddy fields to cultivate, and the villagers make a living by fishing. Many restaurants and hotels in Nanyang City will collect fish regularly, and the fishermen can barely make ends meet.
But five years ago, the boat gangs, who used to be at peace with the fishermen, suddenly changed their ways and also intervened in fishing. Once they encounter fishermen in the river, they will snatch all the fish away. As a result, the lives of the fishermen took a turn for the worse.
The fishermen went to the government to complain, but the government ignored them. The fishermen were helpless and many moved to other places. Since there was no place to go, I had to sneak back and catch some fish.
A year ago, Wenfu and his father secretly went fishing in Baihe River, and unexpectedly encountered people from the boat gang. The boat gang wanted to snatch the fish away, but the Wen family and his son refused. The people from the Boat Gang immediately started fighting. Not only were they numerous in number, but they were also skilled in martial arts. The Wen family and his son were naturally no match. After being injured, they jumped into the river and barely escaped, but the fishing boat was taken away by the gang.
Wenfu's father was already old and frail. After all this trouble, he became bedridden. Wenfu spent all his savings in order to treat his father. In order to support himself and Xiang'er and cure his father's injuries, Wenfu had to borrow ten taels of silver from Sihai Bank.
Soon, Wenfu's father died of his injuries and passed away. Wenfu spent a lot of money to bury his father. However, the Wen family was completely destitute and had to rely on the help of their neighbors to survive.
But a month ago, Wenfu and Xiang'er went to the city to sell handkerchiefs and some hand-cut paper flowers that Xiang'er had embroidered before. Unexpectedly, she met Gao Cheng, the young shopkeeper of Sihai Bank, who was attracted by Xiang'er's beauty.
The next day, Gao Chengcheng sent someone to propose marriage to Wen Fu and asked Xiang'er to be his concubine. Wen Fu naturally refused to agree, and Gao Cheng immediately asked Wen Anfu to return the silver taels he borrowed last year, but the amount had become one thousand taels.
Gao Cheng gave a one-month deadline and claimed that if Wenfu could not pay back the money by then, he would use Xiang'er to cover the debt. The Wen family's father and daughter thought that Gao Cheng was just scaring them and did not take him seriously.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, Du Wang, the bank manager, brought people to ask for money. Naturally, the Wen family did not have that much money. Du Wang wanted to take Xiang'er away by force, but Wen Fu stepped forward to stop him and was kicked unconscious by him. He also told Wen Fu that he must pay back enough money within three days, otherwise they would sell Xiang'er.
Soon after, Xia Feng came to Wen's house. After Xia Feng heard what happened, he went to snatch Xiang'er and the other girls back. Xiang'er was worried that Du Wang would definitely bring someone to take revenge after he returned.
After hearing this, Ximen Shan was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "Girl, don't worry. We will stay here today. I want to see how these demons do evil!"
Feixiang, Feiying and Luo Chuan all obeyed Ximenshan's orders, waiting for the bad guys from the bank to come and teach them a lesson. Xiang'er was overjoyed and quickly expressed her gratitude.
Xia Feng also saw from the side that the four people from Ximenshan were not the bank's accomplices. He came over, apologized to the four people for their rudeness, and asked to join them in dealing with the bank bullies.
So everyone met again, and Ximen Shan finally knew the names of Xia Feng and Xiang'er, and also understood their relationship. Luo Chuan also briefly told Xiang'er and Xia Feng about the situation of the four of them.
However, Luo Chuan did not tell them Ximen Shan's real name. He only said that his surname was Ximen, his master and the grandfather of Feiying and Feixiang. Seeing that Xia Feng was very skilled, Luo Chuan might know the name of Old Man Ximen.
Luo Chuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't reveal the identities of the five masters of Ximen Mountain. He only said that they wanted to visit Luoyang. Now that something unfair has happened, the Ximen family, as members of the Jianghu family, naturally want to eradicate the evildoers and eradicate the scum in the Jianghu.
Ximenshan and others did not know that Gao Cheng had died in Zheng Yu's hands. Gao Wei's son died tragically, so he naturally hated Fei Yun and others.
This time Gaowei wants to recover all foreign debts, and is planning to hire killers at high prices to avenge Wu Zetian, Feiyun, and the people from the Bafang Escort Agency.
Xia Feng was originally a little worried because he was no match for the bank on his own. Now that he has members of Ximen's family, he is instantly more confident. He also saw that these four people were all very skilled in martial arts, especially Old Man Ximen. He knew at a glance that he was a master with profound internal skills.
Xia Feng and Xiang'er bowed to Ximen's family again to express their gratitude, and Ximen's family bowed their hands in return. At this moment, Wen Fu's coughing sound came from the house, and everyone hurriedly entered the house to check.
Ximenshan immediately went over to check Wenfu's pulse, and then gave Wenfu a pill. After a while, Wenfu was in good spirits and his injuries were more than half healed. It turns out that what old Ximen fed Wenfu was the Ximen family's elixir for healing wounds, which was very effective.
Wenfu quickly expressed his gratitude to Ximenshan and asked Xiang'er to kneel down and kowtow to Ximenshan and Xiafeng. Just as Xiang'er was about to bow down, Ximen Shan quickly grabbed her.
Xia Feng also said quickly: "Uncle Wen, I came here to thank you under the master's order. I failed to protect you, and I am already ashamed of my master's spirit in heaven. If you say this again, I will really be ashamed of myself."
Wenfu asked in surprise: "Who is your master? Does he have any old friendship with our family?"
Xia Feng immediately said: "In more than twenty years, have you and your father saved a life by the Baihe River?"
Wen Anfu thought for a while and said, "It does happen. When I came back from fishing with my father, I did rescue a middle-aged man covered in blood by the Baihe River. He rested at my house for a few days. The injury was not completely healed, so he insisted on leaving. Is he the Commander? How is he doing now? "
Xia Feng said sadly: "It's the master, he is already dead."
Wen Fu was surprised: "According to calculation, he is only over sixty years old now. Was there an accident?"
Xia Feng was unwilling to talk more about this matter and said: "We will discuss this later. Uncle Wen, do you think people from the bank will come to arrest Miss Xiang'er?"
