Chapter 05: Kill

The ghost knife watched the weak young master pick up the wooden basin and drift in the river on the shore, and his face was cloudy.

[This may be a chance to get rid of this imp.] But can you bear the consequences of Mu Tong's death?

Before the ghost knife, whose face was constantly changing, had not yet made a decision, a cold aura came from behind him, and a huge sense of crisis surged in his heart.

He wanted to draw a knife to reach the attack behind him, but before he could touch the handle of the knife, he was slapped on the back of the heart with a palm, shattering his heart and dying.

Before he died, he only heard one sentence: "Since you don't know how to choose, the old body chooses for you." ”

The person who slapped the dead ghost knife grabbed his corpse, threw it directly, and threw the corpse of the ghost knife over the river more than twenty meters wide with one hand, and threw him directly into the mysterious beast forest on the opposite bank.

Then he jumped out, stepped on the surface of the river with one foot, and then jumped into the sky above Mu Tong, someone reached out and lifted Mu Tong in his hand, and hooked the crutches in the other hand, directly lifted the wooden basin from the river, and then threw the crutches up, and slapped it on the wooden basin with his free hand, and the wooden basin flew towards the grass on the shore.

Raising his hand to catch the falling crutches, the comer who had fallen towards the river directly touched the river with his toes, and the whole person jumped up again and flew lightly towards the shore.

The person who landed on the ground didn't have time to put down Mu Tong, and with a force under his feet, the whole person chased towards the wooden basin like an arrow off the string, and it was possible to hook the wooden basin sliding on the grass with a cane when the wooden basin was about to hit the stump.

Looking at the series of actions in one go, Mu Tong opened his eyes of surprise and applauded desperately.

"Wow, that's amazing! Granny Gu, why are you here?"

It turned out that it was the ancient mother-in-law named Nanniang, who was actually a loyal servant, who killed the ghost knife and saved Mu Tong. That is, the old woman who delivered Mu Tong back then. This old lady who has lived in seclusion in Mufu for many years, like a candle in her last years, is still a hidden martial arts master.

Granny Gu put Mu Tong down angrily, and used a cane to pick up the silk cloth on the wooden basin, and a baby with a red body came into the eyes of the two.

"Oops, this kid has been soaking in the river for too long, and the cold has entered his body, this is a high fever from the wind cold. ”

Hearing Granny Gu's words, Mu Tong didn't care about anything else, and just picked up the child and ran.

"I'll take him back for treatment first, and my mother-in-law will clean up the things on the ground and then go back. Remember to take them all away, it's about his life experience. ”

"Well, wait, let me help you dry your clothes before you go, or you'll get sick!"

"It's okay! I'm sorry for you to dry your clothes. I'll deal with the ghost knife matter, you just go back to the small courtyard!"

Looking at Mu Tong, who had already run away, Granny Gu bent down to pick up the silk cloth back into the wooden basin, held a wooden basin herself, and disappeared into the woods on crutches.

The young man of the Mu family ran on the avenue with a child in his arms wet, which suddenly detonated the villages on the outskirts of the city. The kind-hearted civilian took off his coat and handed it to Mu Tong, who thanked the man, and then asked him to go to Mu Mansion and pay for his clothes. But the man waved his hand and turned away.

Mu Tong is not entangled, God knows if this is a commoner or a secret son of the Mu family. His father and mother have a lot of back hands. Especially the father, who is about to celebrate his 60th birthday, knows more and more about taoguang. Except for her mother, outsiders can't guess him at all.

Wrapping the baby boy in dry clothes, Mu Tong sped up his running.

Coming to the city gate, Mu Tong unceremoniously kicked on the leg of a team defending the city, kicking the team grinning and touching the calf and jumping straight.

"Don't pretend, I have something to do today. Hurry up and get ready and find someone to take me home. Hurry up. ”

As soon as he heard that the young master of the Mu family was not here to find his bad luck today, the team was stunned for a moment, and then when he heard that his horse needed to be requisitioned, he suddenly felt bad. Can the horses at the gate of the city be requisitioned at will?

"Hey, Young Master Mu, you better beat me again. Anyway, you will pay for the medicine after you finish the fight. This report Marco can't be used indiscriminately. Something will happen. ”

", there's a big thing to fart. Black Dragon City hasn't been at war for many years. Just come to the royal capital where the Holy Martial Kingdom invaded the capital more than a hundred years ago, how can you have time to take care of our Black Dragon City. Otherwise, how to say that the city guards were wise back then, changing the name of the city could scare hundreds of thousands of troops. Don't be verbose, prepare a horse for the young master. Waiting for help. I'm looking for you, and I'm going to give you my name. Is there anyone in this Black Dragon City who doesn't give face to my family? If so, you can write it down for me and tell him when I go to see Wang Shang'er this year. ”

The Mu family's words are all here, and the team is not easy to say anything. I regret that I shouldn't have been cheap at the beginning, why did I blackmail the branch team of the Mu family to participate in the annual meeting. Being targeted by the young master of the Mu family made him beat himself for three days and couldn't get out of bed, but the medical expenses made him live a comfortable life for half a year. Cuihong Mansion did not go less.

Although he was also kicked twice by the young master of the Mu family in the future, it was a routine to say hello, and it was painless. He is also coaxing a child-like servant, anyway, this young master of the Mu family is magnificent, and he never treats them badly when he asks for help.

Instructed his subordinates to bring the war horses that were in reserve, and recruited a subordinate who was waiting to change the guard, "Send Young Master Mu to Mu Mansion safely, and rush back immediately without stopping." You know what?"

"Yes!"

In this way, Mu Tong held the feverish baby and was sent home on horseback by the guards guarding the city.

Outside the Mu Mansion, Mu Tong, who had dismounted, thanked the guards and said that he would go to thank them another day. Then he ran towards the inner hall with the help of his own porter.

"Who is that, you are Old Man Zhou's youngest son, right? On Tuesday, go and recruit the best doctor in the medical hall and let him go directly to the side hall. ”

instructed the porter to find the doctor, and then Mu Tong stopped a passing servant.

"Well, there are too many people in the family that I can't recognize, next time I'll ask the housekeeper to wear a card on your chest. Whoever it is, it's you. Go to the back kitchen, and tell them to boil hot water for the young master, and send it to the east wing, which is close to the side hall, and the young master wants me to take a bath. By the way, cook me ginger soup to get rid of the cold. In addition, I also brought a basin of hot water to the side hall, and found two more quick hands and feet to come over and help me wipe this child. Go quickly!"

Not to mention the chickens and dogs along the way. Let's just say that a group of female relatives who received the news early in the backyard, under the leadership of Mrs. Mu Wang, a group of people who were in a hurry, not to mention more than 20 people, rushed towards the side hall in a swarm.

The second and third girls with quick legs and feet took the lead, followed by the eldest girl Mu Rong, who had lost her face and was worried about her younger brother's safety. Mu Rong, who was carrying the hem of her skirt, still looked a little beautiful at this time, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the side hall.

Seeing a group of maidservants and two little sisters gathered in the side hall, Mu Rong anxiously pulled away from the crowd and squeezed inside.

"Little brother, little brother, how are you! Don't scare the big sister!"

finally squeezed into the crowd, and looked stupidly at a baby boy on the table who was fiddling with two maids, his limbs were still waving, where was there any trace of her little brother.

Mu Rong didn't care about her demeanor, grabbed her two sisters who lied about the military situation one by one, and asked viciously: "Who told me that the little brother was in danger of falling into the water?"

"It hurts, it hurts! ”

"The eldest sister let go, it was the second sister who said it!"

"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously your own idea, and I can't stop it. ”

Mu Rong didn't pay attention to the two girls who shirked each other at all, from childhood to adulthood, how many times did these two troublemakers fool the aunts with this trick. Don't be fooled.

With a hard hand, I decided to let the two girls have a good memory, not everything can be used as a joke.

"Ahh The eldest sister is really broken!"

"It's none of my business! I really didn't participate this time!"

A kind of female dependant heard the shouting in the side hall before she even entered the door. The faces of the three and four rooms all showed shame, and the Zhang family in the second room showed an apologetic look to the two. You don't have to think about it to know that in this family, the only one who can clean up these two guys like this is her own daughter, who is the eldest sister.

"Alright, Rong'er let go. The girls' families, one by one, what kind of system. Let outsiders see the joke. Fortunately, today are all their own aunts and aunts, otherwise, how will your sisters find their in-laws in three days. ”

Mrs. Mu led a group of female dependents into the stream, and reprimanded the three of them with reprimands.

Looking at the arrival of the elders, where do the three little ones dare to make a mistake. Even the servants on the side saluted, and then retreated to the sides and stood still, waiting for orders.

Mrs. Mu saw the situation in the side hall clearly, and couldn't help frowning and asked.

"What's going on? What about the eldest young master? Didn't you say he fell overboard?"

When the lady asked, the subordinates naturally did not dare not reply. A clever maid stepped forward.

"Madame Hui, the eldest young master is bathing and changing clothes in the east chamber. The eldest young master did return from falling into the water, drank ginger soup and went to bathe, and thought it was fine. The child on the table was brought back by the eldest young master. It's also wet. I think that the eldest young master did not fall into the water, but went into the water to save people. ”

"Hmm. Is this true?"

"Madame, this is just the slave's observation, it is purely the slave's speculation, and I dare not say it is true. The truth will not be known until after the young master has finished bathing and changing clothes, and the lady has asked the young master to find out. ”

Wang glanced at this maid who was only thirteen or fourteen years old with appreciation. Know how to observe words and colors, speak without arrogance or rashness, and be clearly organized. Don't do it indiscriminately, and replace the facts with your own guesses. Measured.

"What's your name, how many years have you been in the mansion?"

"Back to Madame, the slave Fluttershy, who sold herself into Mufu at the age of twelve, has been in the house for two years now. ”

"It's been two years. Not short. In this way, look at your cleverness, and you will serve the young master by the young master's side in the future. It's time to find him a few close attendants, otherwise he won't be able to go to heaven. I dared to go into the water alone, and ordered to go down, and the guards who took care of the young master today were punished for one month. ”

It's just that Mrs. Mu would never have imagined that the ghost knife guard no longer needs to be punished......
