Qingshui Town.
Butcher Li and Manager Li lay on the bed, groaning in agony.
Sweat beaded on the doctor's forehead as he carefully examined the arrow wound on Manager Li's leg.
"Manager Li, the arrows in your and your brother's legs have pierced through to the calves. It will definitely hurt a lot to pull them out."
Even if you manage to pull it out, you will be disabled for the rest of your lives.
"But I have never seen such an arrow before; its power is astonishing. I did my best to save your legs."
Butcher Li's eyes were filled with hatred; he wished he could tear Chen Qingqing to pieces.
Shopkeeper Li stopped wailing. "Doctor Li, our two families have been friends for many years. I'm entrusting this leg to you."
Doctor Li found two clean cloths and handed them to them, saying, "When I pull out the arrow, you two bite down on them. I'll try to be as quick as possible."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Manager Li nodded weakly.
Doctor Li began the treatment, wiping one end of the arrow with strong liquor.
One of them pulled the arrow out with force, then applied hemostatic medicine and bandaged it.
He then treated and bandaged Butcher Li in the same way, gave him some instructions, and took his leave.
"Brother, we brothers have suffered such a great loss, are we just going to let it go like this?" Butcher Li's eyes were blazing with anger, and he gritted his teeth.
Manager Li shook his head weakly, "If we can't do it this way, what do you want?"
"Let's report this to the authorities. With such serious injuries, the county magistrate won't ignore it."
"What good would it do to report to the authorities? We started this trouble first. Besides, that blow from your man wasn't light. I don't even know how badly that idiot was hurt. Even if we go to the authorities, we won't win."
"So that's it?"
"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. Brother, don't worry, we'll get our revenge sooner or later."
Manager Li was in so much pain that his face turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. He vowed that he would repay Chen Qingqing for the suffering he had endured today.
The night was as dark as ink, without stars or moon.
In front of a shack on a mountain ten miles away from Nanshan Village.
The campfire was blazing, and two young men of about eighteen or nineteen years old sat in front of it; they were Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue.
That day, when their master was attacked, the two of them separately drew away the "Black and White Duo," thinking they could quickly escape and return to rescue their master.
Unexpectedly, the 'Black and White Duo' were even more formidable than rumored.
Bai Wusha unleashed a move called "Crimson Mist," releasing countless sword energies centered on himself, forming a deathly shadow that nearly killed Zhui Feng on the spot.
Fortunately, he was extremely skilled in light-footed martial arts and managed to escape the perilous situation. Taking advantage of Bai Wusha's underestimation of his opponent, he made a hasty escape.
Zhu Yue was entangled with Hei Wusha and barely escaped death, nearly dying at his hands.
Hei Wusha's 'Nightfall' can instantly turn day into night. He merges with the night and attacks Zhu Yue from different angles, defeating him in one move.
Fortunately, Zhu Yue was skilled and managed to escape danger several times. Finally, she found an opportunity to break his 'Night's Decay'. Hei Wusha suffered a backlash and had no choice but to flee with injuries.
The two met again in Qingshui Town after a day's journey, searching everywhere for their master's whereabouts, but to no avail.
Just when they were in despair, they discovered that their master had become a sycophant, working as a servant for a village girl.
At first, the two of them thought their master had disguised himself as a farmer to escape being hunted down.
Zhui Feng stepped forward with a look of surprise and called out, "Master."
Not only did his master ignore him, but he also glared at him fiercely, his eyes filled with a strong warning, telling him to stay away.
Zhui Feng was completely stunned.
When he moved any closer, his master suddenly raised his fist to hit him.
Having no other choice, they followed their master all the way to Nanshan Village.
I thought that if I launched a signal flare at night, my master would come to keep his appointment.
But Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue waited all night, and their master still didn't come.
Over the next few days, Zhui Feng intentionally or unintentionally met with Xiao Yu in Qingshui Town, but his master seemed not to recognize him. Whenever he saw him, he would hide behind the village girl or glare at him angrily.
Later, they gradually realized that their master had gone mad.
But they still didn't leave. Instead, they wandered around Nanshan Village, secretly protecting their master's safety and preventing the 'Black and White Duo' from assassinating him.
Zhui Feng shook his head and sighed, "Zhu Yue, what do you think happened to Master? Will he ever recover? If he doesn't show his face, we're afraid we won't be able to keep it from the capital."
Zhu Yue's expression was much calmer. "We have to keep it a secret even if we can't hide it. If they find out that our master has become an idiot, the capital might be in turmoil."
"Actually, I think it's quite good for Master to be like this. He is carefree all day long, does not have to fight on the battlefield, does not have to feel sad because his most trusted brother poisons him, and does not have to guess the king's mind or be afraid of his merits overshadowing the king."
"That's true, but without a master, the Western Moon Kingdom, the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, and the Southern Frontier might unite and launch a massive attack. Our Great Ning Dynasty would then be like meat on a chopping block, at their mercy!"
After a moment of silence, Zhuifeng threw a piece of firewood into the campfire. "How about we launch another signal flare tonight? Just in case our master sees it and remembers us!"
Zhu Yue frowned and shook her head. "Forget it. We've already launched no less than dozens of signal flares, and the master hasn't come. What difference will it make if we launch one this time or not?"
"Who cares? If they don't come, we'll just watch a shooting star." Zhui Feng said, pulling a signal flare from his pocket. He pulled the fuse, and with a 'whoosh,' the signal flare flew into the sky, instantly turning into an exploding star.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyu was wide awake, standing by the window, gazing at the sky, recalling those fragmented memories of the past.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the night sky. He was overjoyed and looked up into the courtyard.
