As soon as he finished speaking, the three men fell at Yu Shaoqing's feet.
Just as I was wondering what had happened, the fat man rolled around on the ground in pain, howling, "How can you be so uncivilized?"
"My wife is tired, so we need to finish quickly."
Yu Shaoqing had a gentle face and seemed harmless, but his actions and words carried a certain solemnity.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look ahead!" she said, reaching for my hand.
But I skillfully dodged it; the whole movement was natural and proper, without a single flaw.
"Are the three of you willing to come with me?"
Not only the three of them, but even Yu Shaoqing was startled: "What use do you have for them?"
These words, when they reached their ears, were as if they were saying that the three of them were useless and had no purpose.
The skinny monkey looked aggrieved, and his physique and appearance made him seem pitiful as if he had been bullied.
“What you said, young master, is truly hurtful. We three brothers can still be of help in critical moments.”
"So that means you're willing to follow me?"
The three men exchanged glances, and it was obvious what they were plotting. But how could someone as clever as me give them a chance?
“We are naturally happy that the young lady thinks highly of us.”
"Really? That's wonderful!"
I poured a few white pills from the small porcelain bottle and handed them to them, saying with a kind expression, "We were wrong to hurt you just now!"
"This medicine has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Consider it my apology to you."
Yu Shaoqing stood to the side, looking at me with doting eyes and a smile on his lips. Although I didn't say anything, he already knew what I was going to do.
The three people holding the medicine looked at each other, hesitant to take it.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" I asked.
"No...no problem!"
"This injury is nothing to us, young lady, please don't worry about it. We will keep this medicine safe."
“Aren’t you right?” Hearing the fat man’s words, the other two hurriedly chimed in.
"Yes, that's right!"
"We will keep it safe."
I put on a sad expression, sighed, and said, "I know you think my gift is too shabby!"
Just as the skinny monkey was about to speak, Yu Shaoqing's cold voice pierced through the sweltering heat: "Do I have to feed you myself?"
"No, no, no!!!"
"There's no need for you to do this, young master. We'll handle it ourselves!"
After saying that, he put the medicine in his mouth, looking as determined as a soldier going into battle.
Seeing how obedient they were, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In a foreign land, it's always good to have more friends.
...
"No!" Yu Shaoqing said, his eyes filled with panic.
"Why?" All five of us looked at him at the same time.
"If we don't serve them properly, it could be a matter of losing our heads. I think we shouldn't take that risk."
You could clearly tell he was feeling guilty when he said that.
Ultimately, it's just that they don't want me to meet Ye Lisheng.
At that time, I didn't know about my past with Ye Lisheng; I only knew his name.
"Impossible!" I refused without even thinking.
This is a golden opportunity that I can't possibly miss.
"Brother Yu, I know what you're worried about, but can I make my own decisions?"
I said those hurtful things in a moment of impulse.
Without him, I might have either starved to death or been hacked to death along the way.
I feel incredibly guilty saying these words now.
I moved my lips as if to explain something, but I couldn't bring myself to apologize.
He looked at my hurt expression, as if he had been defeated by my persistence, or perhaps he had given up.
Suddenly, a desolate smile appeared on his lips, and he walked out with a smile.
The fat man and the others looked at each other, none of them daring to offer any advice.
Finally, Mai Suer couldn't help but complain, "You went a bit too far today!"
"No, it should be that they went too far with Brother Yu!"
The skinny man subtly nudged her with his elbow, signaling her to stop talking.
"Qiu Niang and Brother Yu are already married."
"As the saying goes, if you quarrel at the head of the bed, you make up at the foot of the bed. Why are you being so nosy?"
Lan Yi is nothing but short, flat land and endless yellow sand, yet Yu Shaoqing stands at the crossroads for half a day.
Following his gaze, we saw that it was the direction of Lingqi.
I think he must be homesick.
"Brother Yu!" I called out softly from behind him, feeling a little guilty.
He turned around and looked at me with a gentle smile.
That's why I feel even more guilty and remorseful.
Without hesitation, he left his hometown and brought me here to help me escape being hunted down.
But I ended up arguing with him over something so trivial.
I tried my best to ease the tension, jokingly saying, "Don't let this sandstorm get your white robe dirty, or Mai Su'er will start yelling again."
really……
"Pfft!" He laughed, his eyes curving like the bright moon in the sky.
"Brother Yu, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I didn't mean to."
After saying that, I felt a sense of relief and ease.
He hung his head down like a child waiting to be punished.
He didn't say anything, he just reached out and stroked my fluffy head gently.
This gesture gave me a sense of familiarity, as if someone had touched my head like this a long time ago.
