Chapter 44: Righteousness and Courage
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Meng began to prepare the ingredients to be used on his birthday.
No, the next morning, Xu Meng picked up the token and silver for going down the mountain, and went down the mountain with great interest.
She went down the mountain this time to search for spices to use in cooking, and by the way, she went to the vegetable market to step on the spot to see which one had fresher ingredients.
The fog condensed, the morning dawned, and the girl crossed a small river and came to a small city at the bottom of the mountainβββ Hengcheng.
"Aha-" Xu Meng couldn't help but yawn as he looked at the city gate that had just been pushed open by the guards.
She looked at the bustling vegetable farmers and vendors around her, and muttered softly, "It's a little early......
The morning market has not yet started, and there are no shops in the city that have opened.
"Well, I'd better go ahead and wander around the city for a while. The girl shook her slightly stiff arm and followed the army lazily, walking slowly.
The rising sun was shy, showing half of his face shallowly, and when he entered the city, most of the vegetable farmers went to the southeast, but the hawkers went to the southwest.
Xu Meng secretly wrote down the route of the vegetable farmer when he left, and then got up and went to the southwest.
In the southwest, it should be a densely populated place.
The street was sparsely populated, and the girl broke the leaves in her hand that she had pulled from nowhere, and walked without a pair.
She glanced at the hurried vendors, then at the shops around her, and sighed to herself, there were many spice shops and grocery stores along the way, but none of them were open.
The medical hall opened early, and there were still many people in it.
The bored girl suddenly wanted to go to the hospital to buy some lotus seeds and go back to make soup and drink, but she accidentally knocked down a seven or eight-year-old girl.
The dress was wet, the little girl was holding a broken bowl with water, looking at the water marks on Xu Meng's body, her face was pale, and tears suddenly came down.
I saw her sobbing and acquiring, bowing her head, and apologizing intermittently, "Yes, I'm sorry...... I'm not, I didn't mean to......"
"It's okay, it's okay. Xu Meng waved his hand again and again, not knowing what to do for a while.
When a child cries or something, she is most afraid.
The little girl was still shedding tears, crying and apologizing, "Yes, I'm sorry...... Wow......"
The girl was in a hurry, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "Oh, hey, don't cry! Sister doesn't blame you, she doesn't blame you!"
The sobbing continued, and Xu Meng looked at the little girl in front of him, at a loss.
"Would it be okay for my sister to buy you candy to eat?"
"Uh......h Sister's ...... Woo...... Clothes are expensive...... I can't take ...... Sugar ......"
"I, I...... I'm going back...... Woo...... Sister I'm sorry ......."
After saying that, she turned around and went into a remote alley, wiping her tears while crying, leaving only the stunned girl.
There were gradually more people on the street, and a hawker passed by Xu Meng, and couldn't help but remind her, "Girl, if you meet the girl just now in the future, stay away." β
"Why?"
"What can it be? Offend people! This girl's brother was thrown out of Liufu with a broken leg a few days ago!"
"A lot of people are watching!"
"What kind of place is Liufu, the biggest rich merchant in our city! Even the city lord has to give three points of courtesy, who dares to offend!"
"Liufu has let it go, if you dare to help them, you have to be prepared to be driven out of Hengcheng!"
The girl was surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Then why did her brother offend Liufu?"
"Who knows! We can't afford to offend us anyway!The next time the girl meets her, she'd better hide away!......" The peddler shook his head, straightened the burden on his shoulders, and hurried forward.
The dress was sticky, Xu Meng wiped the water stains on her body with a handkerchief, blew the skirt along the morning breeze, remembered the tears on the little girl's face, hesitated for a while, and followed to the alley.
No way, she was a little curious and a little unbearable.
Looking at the broken bowl where the little girl was holding water, you could see that they didn't have much silver.
Coincidentally, she had a bottle of wound medicine on her body, which was made of ginseng and lingzhi, which had a miraculous effect on healing external injuries.
The voice was shallow, Xu Meng looked at the empty street, shook his head and said: "Alas, it's too boring, I'd better go and be brave......"
After going around two alleys and turning a few corners, Xu Meng saw the figure of the little girl.
I saw her standing outside an abandoned City God Temple, wiping her tears with her sleeve, "Can't cry, can't cry, my brother will be sad......"
She adjusted her mood, raised a smile, and went in happily, "Brother!"
The child's voice was crisp and bright, waking up the young people in the temple, "Pan'er is back." β
"Brother, drink some water!"
The immortal cultivator's ear is very good, Xu Meng can hear that the person's body is weak, even if he barely pulls out his voice, he also reveals a sense of powerlessness.
"The injury is not light!" the girl raised her eyebrows slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over.
The stone slabs on the ground cracked, and they clicked when they stepped on them.
"Who!" The young man in the temple sat up suddenly, but unexpectedly he hurt his leg, and cold sweat oozed densely on his forehead.
"Brother!" the little girl hurriedly hugged the young man, and her red eyes were almost about to burst into tears.
"Uh...... How are you?" Xu Meng raised his hands, leaned out half of his body, and his eyes touched the little girl, the corners of her mouth hooked into a light smile, "Little sister, do you remember me?"
The girl walked out and pointed to her half-dried skirt with a serious expression, "We just met." β
"Sister...... the little girl lowered her head and murmured in a mosquito-like voice, "I ......"
She grabbed the sleeve of the young man's coat, and her red eyes finally burst into tears, "I'm sorry sister, I ...... I really didn't mean to wet your dress. β
"I ......," the tears fell even harder, and she choked up, "I don't have any money to pay you...... I'm sorry...... Wow......"
The young man's face darkened, and he took the little girl in his arms and gently comforted her, "This girl, Pan'er definitely didn't mean to wet your dress, if the girl wants to compensate, you can give the girl an IOU, and she will repay it in the future." β
"......" Xu Meng touched her face and looked at the two of them helplessly, did she look like such a mean person?
With a slight movement of her fingertips and a slight lift of her wrist, the girl cast a spell to check the young man's injuries.
Well, the right leg is broken, and it seems that the wound is still swollen, and the leg will be ruined if there is no medicine.
"What are you doing!" the young man's face was gloomy, and his mouth was quite gnashing his teeth.
"Help you. Xu Meng rolled her eyes, she walked up to the little girl, squatted down to look at her at eye level, and sighed: "Sister is not here to ask you to lose money. β
"I heard that your brother has a leg injury, so I'll see if I can help you. β
The little girl stared at a pair of deer eyes, her eyes were red, and she cried again, "Sister......"
She turned her head to look at the young man, the corners of her mouth were high, crying and laughing, "Brother, sister is here to help you." β
The little body left her brother's embrace, and the little girl was full of tears, "My brother has been in pain for many days, sister, please help him take a look." β
The willow eyebrows twisted slightly, Xu Meng was a little headache from this little girl's tears, why does this little sister love to cry so much?
Fingers reached into his sleeves, and as soon as Xu Meng took out a white porcelain bottle from it, his wrist was grabbed by the young man.
"Hey, hey, hey, men and women don't understand it, don't move your hands and feet!"
The big palm was rough, which made her hand hurt, Xu Meng glared at him, but the other party did not let go.
"Why are you helping me?" the man's voice was deep, full of coercion, and others were easily frightened.
Xu Meng was not afraid, she scraped him with her thin nails, and said angrily, "I see that you are handsome, so I want to help you!"
What she said was true, when she first entered the City God Temple, she felt that the young man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his facial features were extremely good.
As a face control, she is reluctant to let a handsome guy die.
The young man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the strength of his hand was released, and Xu Meng took the opportunity to break free, and there were red marks on his wrist.
"...... "What a ruthless man!"
Xu Mengqing blushed, took off the hairpin from the top of her head, cut the pants at the knee of the young man's right leg with a sharp end, she poured the pills in the white porcelain bottle into the palm of her hand and rubbed them, and said with a sneer: "I'm going to give you medicine, you bear with it." β
Although you are handsome, if you dare to pinch my hand like this, don't blame me for not being serious!
