When Xianjin turned back to the wooden house, there were two people guarding each side, and the small door was tightly closed. A broad-faced bearded man stopped Xianjin with one hand outside the wooden house, and said apologetically, "...Miss, it's not convenient right now."
Xianjin didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and stood in the corner to make sure he couldn't hear the conversation in the inner room. He heard a few "bang bang bang" sounds. When he looked up, he saw a raging fire in the southeast that suddenly rose up like oil poured into the sky. Flames, no, no, that was not flames!
It's a fire tree!
It’s like the fucking Chinese New Year!
A scene of fireworks!
Crackling!
Si Li was very fond of this smart and restrained girl. He lowered his head in the dark, revealing his sparkling eyes, "Miss He, do you think our methods are cruel?"
Xianjin: ???
You don't know me very well...
"When these bandits take money to kill people, they never show mercy." Xianjin smiled, "Repaying evil with kindness is not my principle. I repay a drop of hatred with a spring of water, that is my logic."
Si Li smiled, revealing his white canine teeth, and turned to look at his sister Si Yuan, "I like her."
Si Yuan nodded without looking away, his hand always on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Si Li seemed to be extremely curious about Xian Jin, "Your father's last name is Chen, why is your last name He?"
Xianjin felt that he should make a business card, engrave the first half of his life as a burden into words, and give it to everyone he met, which would definitely save a lot of repetitive conversations.
Xianjin glanced at Siyuan and saw that she did not stop her companions from asking questions, so he answered succinctly, "The Third Master is my stepfather, my mother is the Third Master's concubine, and my biological father is someone else."
Si Li: "Wow - this is also a good story in our place!"
Xianjin said nothing, just smiled and turned around to continue watching the fireworks formed by the bandits' brains.
Si Yuan turned his eyes and looked at Xianjin with a little surprise.
The fire burned for more than half an hour, and the wounded came out one after another after being bandaged and treated. It was just as the doctor in the beautiful young lady's cavalry said, when the doctor in the bandit camp saw Jin Dian Ke, he trembled with fear, and found several local mountain herbs, mashed them and applied them to the affected area. The cavalry doctor also boiled a pot of tranquilizing powder for the wounded to take. Zhou Ergou and Zheng Da, who were seriously injured, finally got their fever down and fell asleep after drinking the medicine.
The external injuries have been resolved, but there is still one internal injury.
Chen Fu had a fever at night. His forehead was so hot that it could boil water. His face was red. The horse team specially made a big tent for him to shelter from the wind. Xian Jin squatted beside the stove to boil medicine. After a while, he heard Chen Fu scream, "I kneel, I kneel!" or "Spare their lives!"
Xianjin pursed his lips and fanned himself with more force.
I really hope that what is burning in this stove is Chen Laowu’s brain.
He has a fat brain and is easily burned.
.....
Early in the morning, Xianjin was awakened by the orderly footsteps. He jumped up from the wooden stake he was leaning against and saw the beautiful young lady from yesterday wearing a black gown, with her hair tied up high, and walking towards him with a beard and an expressionless face.
The broad-faced bearded man smiled and bowed to Xianjin, "Boss He, we are ready to set off. We have cleared all the snakes, insects, rats and ants around here, and chopped firewood for the wooden house. You can rest for two days before setting off."
Xianjin followed suit and bowed, "Thank you, Uncle Bing!"
The bearded man laughed again, "Have you thought about how to explain yourself when you get back?"
Xianjin pursed his lips and said, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have revenge, take revenge. If you have a favor, repay it."
The bearded man looked at the tall girl and said something serious, and smiled happily, "Then I wish you can get what you want!"
However, while they were talking, the square formation of a hundred people had gathered. The tall horses stood at the corner of the slope with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. The beautiful young lady glanced at Xianjin without saying a word, then turned and left.
Xianjin shouted loudly, "Lady, please stay!"
The beautiful young lady turned her head.
Xianjin took out the ruby and sapphire scimitar dagger from his bosom and presented it with both hands, "Your dagger."
The beautiful young lady curled her lips and said, "Here you go. I hope you don't need to use it." After that, she didn't argue any more and quickly lifted her robe and mounted her horse. The horse's hooves trampled the dust and created wind. Gradually, the dark color was reduced to a dot, a small dot, among the lush green trees until it disappeared.
Xianjin clenched the dagger tightly, and a sour taste rose in his nose. He inexplicably felt a sense of sadness as if he had separated from his loved ones and would never see them again. He blinked and even felt a little wet in his eyes - Oh my god, she actually cried for the woman she had just met but might never see again...
Even though Qiao Dacongming risked his life and death, she didn't cry.
Now I am crying two lines of tears for a woman whose name I don’t even know.
Xianjin wiped the corners of his eyes, unable to tell the emotion in his heart, or maybe it was admiration for the strong - in her past and present lives, this beautiful young lady was the most powerful, imposing, and strategic person she had ever seen. She was like a tiger roaring in the mountains, an eagle soaring into the sky, or a whale roaring in the sea, with an unquestionable sense of power.
A fascinating sense of power...
When Xianjin's eyes were entangled with her, the people who were traveling far away also talked about her.
Si Yuan rode his horse behind Lao Bing and said in a low voice, "Why don't we help the little girl with the housework?"
Lao Bing chuckled, "You like her very much?"
"Si Li likes her very much." Si Yuan immediately refuted, and then said after a moment of silence, "This little girl has never asked about our origins. Even when the words were handed to her, she never opened her mouth. She is a very sensible and intelligent woman. Since the Chen family dared to collude with the bandits to take her life, no one knows what they will do next."
Lao Bing held the reins of the horse and curled his lips noncommittally, "How could a smart woman be tripped up by such a shrewd person? - Si Yuan, remember why we left the capital, we don't have much time left."
