Fang Qing took Zhao's hand and walked out. Just as they reached the door, Fang Zhu suddenly shouted loudly from behind, "Little Persimmon!"
The pitiful sound made Fang Qing pause in her steps. She turned around and saw that Xiao Shizi was already lying silently in Fang Zhu's arms.
Fang Zhu tried to shake her awake, but accidentally tore open Xiao Shizi's clothes, revealing that her thin, paper-thin body was covered with large and small wounds.
Fang Qing was shocked, and Fang Zhu roared out after being stunned for a moment.
"I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!"
Enraged, Fang Zhu grabbed an axe and rushed into the house where Xiao Shuan's family of four was sleeping.
Just then, the system suddenly emitted a brief notification sound.
[Young master, the system is prompting you to complete the task quickly.]
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment, glanced at the furious Fang Zhu, and then at the already dead Xiao Shizi, and immediately understood.
The rescue of "that child" mentioned at the beginning last night did not refer to Xiao Shizi, but to Fang Zhu!
Without giving it much thought, Fang Qing walked over.
Xiao Shuan and his wife had just heard the commotion outside, and now they blocked the door from the inside while Fang Zhu was kicking it from the outside.
"Don't be impulsive. Even if they deserve to die, if you kill them, you will have to pay with your life."
But Fang Zhu had lost her mind and wouldn't listen to anything.
“Little Persimmon told me about you last night. He said he wants to see you live a good life and grow into a strong and upright man.”
As soon as Fang Qing finished speaking to him, the flimsy door in front of them collapsed to the ground. Xiao Shuan and his wife turned pale as they stared at Fang Zhu, who looked like a vengeful ghost.
Fang Zhu entered the house carrying an axe, his eyes filled with tears and hatred.
He raised the axe high, and Fang Qing closed her eyes.
But there was no pitiful scream. She carefully opened her eyes and saw that Fang Zhu had already put the axe down.
His shoulders slumped, and he seemed to have lost all his vitality.
"Did Little Persimmon really say that?"
"Yes, he said his wish is to become a great general, but he is in poor health and wants you to help him achieve it."
The first half of the sentence is Douya's memory of the small persimmon, and the second half is what she made up.
But this was very helpful to Fang Zhu. He burst into tears and went to Xiao Shizi's side.
At the same time, Fang Qing received a notification from Xiao Dou that the task was completed and she would gain ten days of lifespan and an additional 200 points.
Fang Qing was stunned when she heard about the points.
Why is it so high again?
[The system may have determined that Fang Zhu is an important person to this world.]
I see.
Fang Qing glanced at Fang Zhu a few more times, and after confirming that he was alright, she left with Zhao Shi.
She hadn't slept all night and went back to catch up on sleep. During lunch, she heard from Zhao that Fangzhu was burying Xiaoshizi that afternoon.
In the afternoon, Fang Qing went to the front of the mountain and saw Fang Zhu. He was kneeling in front of the grave, lost in thought. This was where his parents were buried, and that small grave must be Xiao Shizi's.
Fang Qing hesitated for a moment before walking over.
"Brother Bamboo".
Fang Zhu remained motionless, as if she had lost her soul.
What are your plans after this?
They couldn't stay at home anymore, but no matter how tall Fang Zhu was, he was still just a thirteen-year-old child.
“I’m going north, there’s war there,” he said in a hoarse voice.
Fang Qing was taken aback.
Does he really want to become a great general?
"Then be careful in everything you do."
Fang Zhu looked up at her.
His probing gaze, which seemed to see right through her, made Fang Qing panic for a moment.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything that would throw Fang Qing into a panic.
"Thank you for taking care of Xiaodouzi last night. I heard about it. If it weren't for you, he might have died all alone in that little house."
"You're welcome, it's only right..."
"Please also thank Uncle Niu for me; I'm sorry to have troubled him."
As he spoke, he got up and walked in the opposite direction from the village.
He wants to go directly north.
His silhouette was lonely and resolute.
Fang Qing suddenly remembered the dream she had last night.
In his dream, the soldiers who died tragically seemed to leap before his eyes, and Fang Zhu became one of them.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly caught up with him.
"Brother Bamboo, take this and find a place to pawn it for your travel expenses."
She handed Fang Zhu a plump butterfly jade pendant that she had redeemed from the system.
This item cost 100 points, but since it's all from the customer, it doesn't hurt.
The jade felt warm and smooth to the touch; it was a fine piece of jade, and Fang Zhu was immediately stunned.
"I can't accept this..."
"Take it. You must come back alive. Little Persimmon is waiting for you here."
Fang Zhu's nose stung, and she rubbed her eyes hard with her arm.
"Okay, I will definitely come back alive."
She was the only person who had been so kind to him since his father passed away. He remembered her and vowed to return to repay her kindness once he achieved success in his career.
He vigorously ruffled Fang Qing's hair, then waved goodbye with a flourish.
Fang Qing watched him walk away before heading into the field.
On the path at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Shi'an gripped the tree tightly, his eyes blazing with fury.
Fang Zhu, that was the most loyal dog of the royal family in his previous life, the one he hated the most.
Bean Sprout actually gave him a square bamboo jade pendant, which he didn't have.
He thought the fool's kindness was only directed at him.
It turns out to be just one insignificant one among many.
Anger churned in his heart, causing him pain, and the urge to destroy the world stirred within him.
Almost simultaneously, Fang Qing received a piercing system notification sound.
What happened? Zhao Shi'an's villain value increased by one! It's now 98.
With the villain's power suddenly returning, how could Fang Qing not panic?
