Chapter 763 Seeing a deer in the forest
Qiu Wu, a man who used to slaughter dogs in Handan City, is very unaccustomed to the courtesy he receives now. Since he rescued Yuan Zhao and followed him all the way to the East China Sea, everyone has treated him as a distinguished guest. Whether it is the commander of the fleet or the warrior in armor, he will greet him very affectionately, and his expression is full of gratitude.
This kind of treatment made Qiu Wu a little worried while being flattered. He didn't know if he could be allowed to stay here, let alone if Hou Ye's injuries were healed. He hadn't seen Yuan Zhao for several days, and he was very worried about it. If he could, he would love to follow the legend and steer the carriage for him.
In fact, Qiu Wu's worries are completely unnecessary. It won't be long before he receives a surprise and gets his wish. The young and handsome captain of the fleet personally took him aboard the ship, saying that her Royal Highness their queen wanted to see him.
Qiu Wu followed in a panic and came all the way to the deck on the third floor of the building. He had never seen such a large ship in his life. This building ship, which sails smoothly on the sea, is more spacious than the largest restaurant in Handan City. Not only is the speed extremely fast, but the people on the boat are as if they were walking on the ground in the rough waves, which is breathtaking.
The young man who brought him with him had his skin a little tanned by the wind on the sea, but his teeth were snow-white when he smiled. Years of life on the ship have trained him to be agile and cheerful. Although he is easy-going, Qiu Wu doesn't dare to laugh with him at all. Because he knew very well in his heart that the guy named Yuan Thirteen in front of him was definitely one of the most loyal people to Yuan Zhao. A person who can command a fleet of ships across the sea can be imagined.
Subsequently, Qiu Wu met the legendary woman who was the owner of the vast East China Sea. And Yuan Zhao, who had obviously improved his complexion, sat on the side and looked at him with a smile. Qiu Wu didn't dare to look at it more, so he hurriedly lowered his head, but his face was full of joy.
"Oh, it's him, Fifth Brother Qiu...... My savior. ”
Yuan Zhao smiled faintly and pointed to the dog butcher who seemed a little obscene. And Liu Shu, who has always been arrogant and never bowed to anyone, did not hesitate, and had already bowed down with a sincere expression, full of gratitude.
"This, this will never dare to be! It's ...... to break the villain! ”
Qiu Wu was shocked and hurriedly fell on the deck. Receiving such a big gift from the other party as a poor person was something he never expected.
"You deserve it!"
Liu Shu didn't say much. But her worship in place of Yuan Zhao can explain everything. No matter what the identity of the other party is, Yuan Zhao can survive the disaster, thanks to his help. She can't control the world, just to express the gratitude of an ordinary woman.
"Fifth Brother Qiu, get up. Counting the help of Zhao Wangfu, I owe you twice...... In the future, if you want something, you can say it directly. ”
Yuan Zhao waved his hand and motioned for Yuan Thirteen to pull Qiu Wu up from the ground, but this man was stubborn and refused, he looked up at Yuan Zhao and said excitedly.
"Master Hou must never be called that again! On that day, you eradicated King Zhao in Handan, eliminated harm for the people, and avenged the blood feud for the villain. Since then, I have made a vow that in this life and this life, only the marquis will be the first to look forward, although my ability is limited, but I am also willing to do whatever it takes...... The villain has nothing else to ask for, but is willing to be a servant of the Hou Ye for the rest of his life. I hope the marquis agrees! ”
Yuan Zhao sighed, since ancient times, there are so many loyal and righteous people! This small request, he naturally nodded and agreed. After he was seriously injured in Taiyue Mountain this time, he died nine times, and it was indeed thanks to Qiu Wu who took care of him all the way despite the hardships and dangers. to be able to get here. This kindness should be repaid well.
Autumn five got what he wanted, and he was overjoyed. Regardless of the dissuasion, he kowtowed respectfully on the deck a few more times, and then got up and stood beside Yuan Zhao happily.
Ten days ago, after Yuan Zhao, who was seriously injured, was sent to the East China Sea by Yuan 13 and his people, Liu Shu has been spending days in fear and worry. At this time, seeing that his injuries had greatly improved, he calmed down slightly. And listening to them talk about the thrill in Taiyue Mountain in detail again, while resenting the leader of this matter in their hearts, they couldn't help but be deeply afraid. If it weren't for Yuan Zhaoming who escaped this catastrophe, maybe he would never be seen again in the future! As soon as she thought of this, even if she was as proud as her, the tears couldn't help it, and they rolled down involuntarily.
The most vicious in the world is indeed the human heart. On that day in Taiyue Mountain, in order to save people, Yuan Zhao did not hesitate to spend his vitality, and with the power of pure yang to Gang, he cut off half of the peak of the valley flood. Although he finally saved tens of thousands of lives, he himself finally exhausted his strength, so he was plotted by Liu Guangling, who was bent on killing him. He was hit by several arrows, swept away by the flood, and fell unconscious.
I don't know how long it was, but when he opened his eyes again, there was the sound of rumbling water in his ears, and he felt like he was lying in a pile of rubble. The pain in my back was unbearable, and my whole body was even more sore, and I couldn't even explore my surroundings.
Yuan Zhao closed his eyes again, enduring the pain that came to him, he needed to recuperate, and he needed to think about what happened before. Since he is not dead, it is always a joy to be. Although the situation in front of him is a bit bad, he has always believed in the phrase that there is no way to be endless.
Soon after, he had roughly observed that this should still be in the Taiyue Mountain. After the torrent in the valley rushes down, it turns a few bends and joins the mountain stream. And not far from here, there is a cliff waterfall dozens of zhang high, which should have been washed down by the current, and then fell into this pile of rocks.
Yuan Zhao smiled bitterly, the current situation is very similar to when he first arrived here from another time and space many years ago, when there were no traces of barren mountains and mountains like now, and he was the only one who faced this huge psychological gap.
Looking at the hour, it should be in the afternoon, the sun is shining in the evening, and the grass and trees are windy. Yuan Zhao felt very thirsty, but although he was only a few feet away from the current, it was very difficult for him to move his body under the current situation, let alone go over to get water to drink.
Yuan Zhao knew very well that this was weakness after excessive blood loss. Although I couldn't see the wound on my back, it must have been very serious. Now the top priority is to quickly recover your strength, go to the neighborhood to collect some herbs, and then pull out the arrows on your back, so that the bleeding can be stopped first, which is the first step to save your life.
After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of grass and trees rattling in his ears. Then I felt a slight coolness on my face, and there were water droplets splashing. When I hurriedly opened my eyes to look, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It turned out that at some point, a white deer came out of the bushes not far away, stood in front of his eyes, and shook the water droplets off his face and body. Then he turned and jumped into the stream, and when the white fluff was soaked with water, he jumped ashore and ran to him...... After going back and forth like this several times, Yuan Zhao's whole body was already soaked with water.
Yuan Zhao felt a little sour in the corners of his eyes. All things are animistic and are born with grace. He had already recognized that this deer was the one he rescued on Qianlong Ridge. Unexpectedly, it would repay itself in this way.
This white deer is really very spiritual, when the twilight comes and the sky is getting dark, it does not leave, but curls down, snuggles up next to Yuan Zhao, licks the back of his hand with his tongue, and shows a gentle color in his eyes. The moonlight is hazy, the mountains and forests are vague, one person and one deer, so harmonious.
After most of the day of adjusting his breath, Yuan Zhao, who finally had some strength, reached out and gently stroked Bailu's neck, muttering to himself.
"But I never thought that when I was in trouble, it was you, the beast, who rushed to help...... How did I expect that the world is cloudy, people's hearts are unpredictable, and I have suffered this calamity, but it is also my own ....... ”
He was so discouraged, but it was the first time in all these years. The place where the arrow was hit in his back should have been treated as soon as possible, but now in the depths of this barren mountain, under the condition of no help, he did not dare to pull the arrow easily.
was a little dazed, but Bailu suddenly raised his head, as if he heard something. Yuan Zhao squinted his eyes, secretly thinking in his heart, if a fierce beast like a tiger came at this time, it would be fun...... This small body may not be enough for it to have a full meal!
But the next moment, Yuan Zhao, who was laughing at himself in the bitterness, saw that there seemed to be a faint torch in the mountains and forests in the distance. His heart moved, could anyone still come to this mountain at this time...... Should I cry out for help?
He was hesitating, but the white deer seemed to guess his thoughts, got up and entered the bushes, and disappeared in a moment. And when it showed its form again, the people who were chasing it not far behind poked their heads out of the bushes and weeds. The torch in his hand swayed brightly, and the white deer that had been looking back frequently finally stopped. The visitor seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then the voice of surprise trembled and whispered to the figure lying on the side.
"Master Hou...... Is that you? ”
Yuan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and agreed. Although the days of getting along with each other have not been long, he has already heard that the person who spoke is the dog butcher who followed from Handan City, Qiu Wu.
Qiu Wu, who was finally sure that he had found Yuan Zhao, was so happy that he almost threw the torch in his hand. In the afternoon, he was the first to hear the person who returned from Taiyue Mountain at the gate of Luoyang City talk about the earth-shattering changes in Qifeng Valley, and he was shocked and sad at that time. However, he never believed that the Yuan Church would die so easily, and a person who could completely eradicate even the powerful King Zhao would not die casually.
"Master Hou! The villain searched all the way and finally found you...... Jiren has his own heavenly help, and that's really the case! That's great! ”
Looking at the psychic white deer, as well as this loyal and righteous Yan Zhao man, Yuan Zhao also smiled faintly.
"It seems that God doesn't want me to die yet......!"
