Chapter 8
Chu Ze used all his strength to run back.On the river beach, a few wolves that escaped just now were wandering back and forth, and Xiaohe was nowhere to be seen.Chu Ze flew down, and with a swing of the sword, several wolves were bleeding all over the ground in an instant. Chu Ze stood still and looked into the river, and saw a pair of struggling arms in the distance, being rushed away by the river.Chu Ze frowned and flew forward, stepping on the river for a few quick steps, then dashed into the river, and after a while, flew out with Xiaohe in his arms.
Landing on the river beach, Xiaohe had already fainted, but Chu Ze gave him internal energy but nothing improved.
"Young hero, follow me."
Hearing the sound, Chu Ze raised his head. It was the girl who had just been rescued in the forest, and said pantingly.
"My home is in the village ahead, and my grandfather will surely save him."
Chu Ze flew to the girl with Xiao He in his arms,
"Time is running out, offended."
"what!"
Before the girl could react, she was picked up by Chu Ze, stepped on something, and flew into the air in an instant.The girl wanted to lower her head to see what it was, but she glanced at the arms around her waist, which were strong and strong, and she couldn't help but blush.
"Girl, please show me the way."
Chu Ze's voice rang in her ears, and the girl came back to her senses, and quickly pointed out the direction for Chu Ze.Only then did he see that what he was stepping on was a sword.
The sword rises and the sword falls, but the three of them have reached the entrance of the village in just a cup of tea.This village is really different, a circle of water surrounds the village, as if the village is an isolated island, surrounded by mountains and mountains, reflecting the village is very full of fairy spirit.
The three characters "Ruoshui Village" stood at the entrance of the village, and before Chu Ze could take a closer look, the girl led him to his bamboo building.
"Grandpa! Grandpa, come and save someone!"
While shouting, the girl ran to the bamboo building, and Chu Ze stood in the courtyard, laying Xiaohe on a stone platform.After a while, the girl led an old man and ran down the stairs in a hurry. The old man ran up to Chu Ze in a few steps, took a look at him, and then quickly looked at Xiaohe.After some diagnosis, the old man stepped onto the table and pressed Xiaohe's abdomen with both hands, pressing quickly and rhythmically.After dozens of strokes, I saw Xiaohe spitting out a mouthful of river water, sitting up and coughing non-stop.
"Xiaohe!"
Chu Ze stepped forward and reached out to caress his back,
"Ah~ah~"
Xiao He said "ahhh", as if he was frightened and wanted to express something.Chu Ze embraced him in his arms,
"It's alright, it's alright."
Xiaohe gradually calmed down, Chu Ze slowly pushed him away, looked at the old man, cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, old man, for your help."
The old man smiled and waved,
"It's okay, it's my duty."
"Grandpa, Lian'er encountered wolves in the mountains. It was this young hero who helped Lian'er to survive. This little brother was forced by the wolves to jump into the river."
The old man frowned and thought for a while,
"So that's the case, it should be my thanks to the young hero."
As he said this, he was about to bow, but Chu Ze hurriedly stopped him,
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The old man straightened up, smiled politely, then frowned again,
"How can there be wolves in the mountains of our Miaojiang?"
"I don't know either. I was collecting herbs, and A'hua suddenly screamed wildly. I turned around and saw a few wolves staring at me. A'hua led them away, but I didn't expect there to be more behind. I."
"How could this be? There shouldn't be wolves in our mountains. Now, Lian'er, go to the village chief's house and tell the village chief about this."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Lian'er was aroused by her grandfather and hurried to the village chief's house.Only then did Grandpa regain his senses and look at Chu Ze,
"Oh, this happened suddenly, and the hospitality is not good, I hope you will forgive me."
Chu Ze hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, Grandpa Lian'er, what kind of ominous thing is this pack of wolves?"
"Ha, my surname is Ruan. If you don't mind, the young hero can call me Uncle Ruan."
"Okay, Uncle Ruan. My name is Ning Ze. You can just call me by my first and last name."
"Okay, Ning Shaoxia, if you saved my grandson's life, you are not an outsider to me, and I am not afraid to talk to you."
"This "Ruoshui Village" has been treating people for its life for nearly a thousand years. There are nearly a thousand people in the village, and there are many skilled doctors, not to mention the most incompetent ones who understand the pharmacology of tendons and veins."
"The most important thing about healing people is the medicine. Therefore, on the mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles, all living things are under the control of Raoshui Village. We all know what kind of grass is there. That's why if there are exotic animals and plants , or the factors that will change the environment here are natural enemies for us.”
Chu Ze nodded after listening,
"Animals like wolves are extremely predatory and possessive. Compared with Raoshui Village, it is the worst thing to have. So if wolves really appear in the mountains, it is a very serious matter."
Ruan Bo was a little excited, Chu Ze also realized the seriousness,
"Miss Lian'er encountered a pack of wolves. Ruan Bomo, don't worry, a few beasts will definitely help get rid of Raoshui Village."
Ruan Bo looked at Chu Ze with gratitude in his eyes.
"This time around the village, I met a nobleman."
"I don't dare to do it, it's just that we have something to ask for when we come to Miaojiang this time."
"Oh? Ning Shaoxia, but it doesn't matter."
"Xiaohe... oh, this is my brother-in-law, named Xiaohe. This child can hear but can't speak. We passed by Yangzhou, and the doctor in the city said that he seemed to be poisoned. I heard that Miao Jiang is good at detoxification. , the two of us rushed here to see if we could get a cure."
"I see."
Ruan Bo nodded in understanding,
"I don't think the two of you look like people from Miaojiang..."
After finishing speaking, Uncle Ruan walked towards Xiaohe who was obediently sitting beside him, stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and pressed around his neck.
"Well, it does look like poisoning. But we need to do more research on the unusual poison before deciding. I think so, Ning Shaoxia won't leave Raoshui Village for a while, if you don't dislike it, Just stay with me."
Chu Ze clasped his fists in salute,
"That would be a lot of trouble."
"My lord! At noon, a group of wolves were released to look for food, and they were all murdered. Judging from his injuries, this man's martial arts are very strong, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. Please decide."
The person in front of him looks handsome and cold, and there are two deep creases between his brows due to long-term frowning. This person is the third half-brother of the current emperor. , Prince An with amazing martial arts.The only person in the imperial court who can be slightly better than him is that "extraordinary" dragon clansman, the Dragon Subduing General Mo Beihan.
"Isn't it already investigated, the people in the village can only do medicine but not martial arts?"
"This is indeed the case... Do you need to inform the general about the unexpected situation?"
The officer and soldier who came to report lowered their heads nervously when Bai Lian made a sharp move.Almost everyone in the court and even in the army knows that General Mo's martial arts are different from ordinary people and he is also quite skilled in leading troops, but he is ruthless to people and sometimes vicious.Wei Wei has shown tenderness towards Prince An, and gossip has already been spread openly and secretly, but as long as Prince An does not mention the general in front of him, other things are completely unheard of.
"There is no need to alarm General Mo. It is urgent to conquer Miaojiang. How can such a trivial matter distract him. Let's go, take me to the corpse of the wolves."
Bai Lian waved his sleeves, followed the officers and soldiers out of the camp, and walked towards the mountains.
"General!"
A man in ordinary clothes suddenly appeared in the cold tent in Mobei like a shadow,
"What's the matter?"
This person is the dark guard that he placed at Baili'an. The dark guard reported the wolves to Mo Beihan, and he frowned slightly.
"Miaojiang King's troops are gathered here, but there should be no troops in that mountain. You follow him well, and protect him if necessary. If there is any abnormality, please report to me."
"Yes."
After the dark guard finished speaking, he disappeared.Mo Beihan frowned, lifted the tent and walked out.
Bai Lian got off his horse and looked at the blood-stained wolf corpses all over the place. He couldn't help being surprised. He frowned and walked to a wolf and squatted down. He searched for his wound, and his fingers trembled inexplicably.
"how come……"
"My lord?"
Bai Lian was called back to his senses, he stood up in a daze,
"Take...dispose of the corpse. Come back to the camp with me quickly, change the plan, and go to Raoshui Village tonight."
"Yes!"
The soldiers under his command went to dispose of the wolf carcass, while Bai Lian got on his horse and walked towards the camp little by little.
Ruan Bo withdrew the hand that applied the needle, and Xiao He was sleeping soundly on the bed, fearing that he would hurt, Chu Ze stroked his sleeping point.
"Uncle Ruan, how is the situation?"
Ruan Bo nodded, went to the sink to wash the handles, and said:
"It should be cured, but he has been hoarse for many years and needs to recover slowly. It is very possible to be normal in three to five years."
Chu Ze sighed, but being able to recover is already great news.
"Grandpa, Brother Ning, it's time to eat."
The two heard the sound and looked, Lian'er came upstairs in kitchen clothes,
"Okay, let's go, Ning Shaoxia."
Chu Ze sat down, looking at a table of Miao-style meals, full of color, fragrance and taste, he couldn't help sighing,
"Miss Lian'er, you did all of this? It's really extremely skillful."
Lian Er bowed her head and blushed when she heard the sound,
"Ning, Brother Ning, as long as you like it."
Looking at his little granddaughter's gesture, Ruan Bo sighed in his heart, this girl is definitely not going to stay.
"Miss Lian'er has worked so hard, so she naturally likes it, so I will not be polite."
"Haha, Shaoxia Ning is so polite, eat quickly."
"Brother Ning, you can eat as long as you want. I have already set aside food for Brother Xiaohe."
The more Ruan Bo looked at it, the happier he felt.
"Miss Lian'er is kind-hearted, thank you for Xiaohe."
Lian'er was praised, her face became even hotter,
"I...well, the mushroom soup is still cooking, I'll go and have a look."
After Lian Er finished speaking, she got up and ran away. Seeing her leaving figure, Chu Ze smiled, but Ruan Bo didn't move his chopsticks, watching the two young men giggling.
"Uncle Ruan, why don't you eat?"
"Haha, how old is Ning Shaoxia this year?"
"Eighteen false years."
"Ah, very good, very good. This...is someone with a heart?"
"Well?"
With a mouthful of vegetables in his mouth, Chu Ze looked at the smiling Uncle Ruan with some confusion.
"Is there any girl Ning Shaoxia likes? If not, I want to be a matchmaker for my granddaughter."
After speaking this time, Ruan Bo was also a little shy, while Chu Ze put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, with an unnatural expression.
"Uh, haha. That... Thank you Ruan Bo for your kindness, but I still have important matters to worry about, so it's inconvenient to think about the matter of love and romance..."
Ruan Bo didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile,
"I understand. Ning Shaoxia wants to do more when he is young, which is a respectable thing. I am talking too much."
"I'm sorry Ruan Bo, really..."
Ruan Bo waved his hands and said with a smile:
"Take it as gossip, don't take it to heart."
"It's not good! Grandpa, Brother Ning! There are a lot of officers and soldiers from the Central Plains at the entrance of the village!"
Hearing this, Chu Ze frowned, picked up the sword and disappeared without a trace.Ruan Bo and Lian Er hurried out to the entrance of the village.
