Chapter 23 Seen

"I can't forgive the young lady being snatched away from me again. I lost control and killed the old Taoist priest with serious injuries, but my reason was gradually swallowed by the anger."

"I refined the old Taoist priest into a sword and began to look for a way out. As long as I reach Yuque Pass, I can bring people back to save the young lady, but I can't find the way out. I have no choice but to return here." Gu

Jue felt a little regretful and a little emotional.

"You thought we were people from the village, so you attacked us?"

Jiang Si did not deny that he was indeed a little confused at the time, so he drew his sword at Yu Chi.

Yu Chi digested Jiang Si's words and thought for a while.

"Your young lady is Jiang Xinian?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Jue and Jiang Si looked at him at the same time.

Gu Jue was a little confused, and always felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

I guess he doesn't remember it very clearly. At that time, he was drunk and lying in Yu Chi's arms. Later, he hugged him, kissed and nibbled him. How could he remember so much?

Jiang Si's eyes fell on Yu Chi and he saw its appearance clearly. The moonlight fell on Yu Chi. He dug out a picture from his vague memory. The person in the picture gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.

"I've seen you."

He said, raising his hand and tapping his head.

"But your hair was still black at that time."

Gu Jue wondered, why did everyone he met recently say that they had seen Yu Chi?

"Where have you seen him?"

Jiang Si answered without thinking, "Shangjing City."

Gu Jue turned his head and looked up at Yu Chi again. Yu Chi's expression did not change, as if he had no impression of Jiang Si.

But he folded his hands, his eyes fell on the stream not far away, and he began to explain.

"Three years ago, a nobleman in Shangjing was poisoned by a strange poison. He came to me for medical treatment and stayed in Shangjing for a while."

So it was normal for these people to say that they had seen him before, and it was normal to have seen him anywhere.

He was used to wandering around and really didn't want to settle down in one place.

"How do you know that my young lady is called Jiang Xinian?"

He clearly didn't mention the young lady's name just now.

"Two days ago, we met a man in a small town very close to this forest."

"Who?"

"The son of Zhenbei Marquis, Xiao Yunfeng, the current border guard of Yuque Pass, is also looking for someone."

Yu Chi leaned down and looked into Jiang Si's eyes.

"He is looking for his childhood sweetheart, Jiang Xinian. Your lady asked you to go to Yuque Pass and bring someone here to prove that she might know the current guard of Yuque Pass. They are all missing. How can such a coincidence happen in the world?"

Xiao Yunfeng searched for so long, and in the end, the person was right under his nose. But

he didn't find him.

It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people.

It was like this until dawn. Yu Chi felt his eyes were a little dull, so he closed his eyes and watched the sun pop up from the clouds in the sky.

He stared at the sun for a long time, as if he was distracted. Gu Jue didn't know what he was thinking and didn't disturb him.

Miss Jiang's matter was very heavy, at least he felt so.

Jiang Si couldn't get out, couldn't get help, couldn't find the deserted village, and couldn't save his lady.

He wanted to wait by the river, just in case the lady escaped again.

When the clouds dispersed, the red sun slowly rose, and the morning glow fell on Yu Chi, he took out a jade whistle and blew it in front of the sun.

A white pigeon appeared in the whistle and quietly landed on Yu Chi's shoulder.

Yu Chi touched its head, and he obediently rubbed Yu Chi's hand and pecked Yu Chi's fingers.

Yu Chi took out the token Xiao Yunfeng gave him and hung it on the white pigeon's neck.

"Fly faster, go to Yuque Pass."

The white pigeon called twice and flew away with the token.

Jiang Si stood up and watched the white pigeon flying farther and farther away, with a light in his eyes.

The white pigeon carried his hope.

This forest can trap them, but it can't trap the white pigeons that can fly high and soar freely.

...

Someone in the deserted village was in a hurry and ran to the entrance of the village and knocked on the door of an old house.

After knocking several times, there was no movement inside.

Someone passed by with a hoe on his shoulder, and stopped when he saw her anxious look.

"Stop knocking, the doctor who lives here is dead."

"How did he die?"

The woman who knocked on the door was a little surprised. She saw him two days ago, and he disappeared just like that.

"Didn't Wang Er's wife run away again the other day? When the villagers went to chase her, she also went. In the end, she was cut into two pieces by that evil creature. Now the body has been dragged back and is still in the mess behind the grave."

The woman panicked and clapped her hands, not knowing what to do.

"Oh, what should I do? Why do all the bad things happen to Wang Er's wife?"

The person on the other side was curious.

"What happened to his wife?"

The woman did not hide it.

"Wang Er got drunk and kicked someone in the stomach, causing bleeding. I don't know if the baby can be saved."

The doctor who lived here last time took the pulse and confirmed that it was a boy. Wang Er's mother was on guard against her daughter-in-law, but she failed to protect her own son.

"Auntie, are you looking for a doctor?"

The woman was anxious when a low voice suddenly came from the side. She tilted her head and saw a young man in red clothes and a fox fur cloak, exuding nobility. There was also

a young man in black who was equally noble beside him.

She had lived for thirty or forty years and had never seen such a handsome and noble person.

The young man in red was extremely beautiful and had a beautiful face, while the young man in black next to him had a handsome and fair face.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, the two young men were already standing in front of her.

"Auntie?"

Gu Jue frowned and called the woman again. The woman was staring at Yu Chi's face and was distracted. He called her several times but failed to bring her back to her senses.

"Auntie, are you looking for a doctor?"

"Oh, yes, yes, you..."

She looked at the two noble young men in front of her. At this age and with this appearance, they didn't look like they knew medicine.

She was unsure and in trouble.

Gu Jue spread his palms in front of Yu Chi.

"You don't know, the one standing in front of you is the best doctor in the world today."

...

Because there was no doctor available at the moment, the woman had no choice but to take Yu Chi and Gu Jue to Wang Er's house.

On the way, she asked Yu Chi and his friends about their origins.

"We were traveling around, and a few days ago we accidentally entered this forest and got lost. Today we saw your village and wanted to ask for directions, but we happened to meet you looking for a doctor."

Yu Chi did not respond. Gu Jue's words were half true and half false, so the lies he told were more credible.

The woman brought them to a small house and opened the door. A fishy smell penetrated Yu Chi and Gu Jue's noses.

Yu Chi did not change his expression, but Gu Jue pursed his lips. It turned out that he had seen too little of the world.

There was an old woman sitting in the room. She was a little unhappy to see that the woman did not bring back the doctor but brought back two young handsome men.

On the wooden bed by the inner wall, a woman's hands were tied with two ropes and hung on the beam.

There was a pool of blood under her body, and she looked out the window with lifeless eyes. She didn't care about the child in her belly at all.

Yu Chi closed his eyes, took a long breath with complicated emotions, took off his cloak and handed it to Gu Jue.

Gu Jue understood and wanted to take the woman and the old woman out, but the old woman refused, saying that she was unwilling to let a man be alone with her daughter-in-law.

Later, he took the cane in his hand to hit Gu Jue.

Yu Chi's eyes condensed, and he looked at the old woman with a cold look. The old woman was shocked by his eyes and her body froze for a moment.

Yu Chi scolded coldly.

"Do you still want your grandson? If you do, get out."

He had white hair and red eyes. Such a look really scared people, and they hurriedly followed the woman out.

Gu Jue nodded to him, closed the door when he went out, and held his cloak, guarding in front of the door to prevent people from approaching.

Yu Chi walked to the bed, but there was no place to sit. The woman leaned her head against the wall. When she heard the movement behind her, she pursed her lips and scolded in a hoarse voice.

"Get out."

Yu Chi was not annoyed, and called her in a gentle voice.

"Miss Jiang."

Jiang Xinian's eyes trembled slightly, and after a while she tilted her head and looked at Yu Chi. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were now filled with indifference and numbness, and she looked straight into Yu Chi's eyes.

"I've seen you."

Yu Chi smiled.

"You are the third person who has said this to me in recent days."
