Cao Cao transferred troops and horses to re-enter Qingzhou, and it would take more than ten days to say the least.

Meng Tai escorted Nian'er and others back to Penglai first, although Yuan Jun escorted them from all over the way, Yuan Xu was still not at ease.

The black-clothed man who attacked them was obviously targeting Nian'er and the others.

didn't see Nian'er, Zhang Shuang and Mrs. Zhu, he always felt that there was something on his mind.

Bidding farewell to Yuan Tan, escorted by more than a dozen Yuan soldiers, Yuan Xu hurried to Penglai.

One day later, the crowd entered Donglai.

After Donglai, enter the sea through the port, you can reach Penglai Island.

The road was not far away, but Yuan Xu urged the horse to go faster.

More than a dozen Yuan soldiers followed, not daring to fall for half a step.

As he was galloping on his horse, Yuan Xu saw a figure appear in front of him.

The distance was still far away, and he felt that the figure was very tall, and it was getting closer and closer that he saw clearly that in front of him was a man walking on foot with an unconscious old woman on his back.

The man was about forty years old, his shirt was tied to his waist, his shirt was bare, and his tensed muscles were shiny in the sun.

He was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that he had traveled a long way.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he glanced at Yuan Xu and the others.

Yuan Xu, who was galloping on his horse, immediately noticed that he had a long scar on his left cheek.

The scar runs down from the forehead, across the eyes, and down to the cheeks.

The scar was too long and too deep, making his left eye look awkward.

More than a dozen horses came from behind, and he did not show any panic, but leaned closer to the side of the road to avoid being hit by the horses.

When he reached the man's side, Yuan Xu pulled the reins to stop the mount.

Yuan Jun, who followed him, also stationed their horses.

"Dare to ask what's wrong with my mother-in-law?" Yuan Xu leaned over and asked.

Yuan Xu was wearing armor and looked handsome. looks like a son of a family.

The man was shirtless, and the old woman on his back was wearing sackcloth.

The son of the family addressed the old woman with honorifics. It was unexpected.

If the other party is rude, he doesn't intend to pay attention to it at all.

Yuan Xu was courteous. Let him not answer.

"The old mother suddenly fainted, and she was about to go to the doctor on her back."

"Do you have a fever?"

Looking at him blankly, the man nodded.

The accompanying officer stepped forward and reminded: "Childe, it's important to hurry." ”

"Let me get a war horse!" After giving an order to the officer, Yuan Xu said to the man: "The old man's fever is not trivial!" The healer is far away, please get on the horse! ”

The man was stunned and looked at Yuan Xu in amazement.

"Get on board!" Yuan Xu urged.

The man didn't refuse, Yuan Jun gave up the horse, and he picked up the old woman first. Then he turned over and got on his horse.

"Placing the mother-in-law's forehead can relieve the fever!" Removing the water bag, Yuan Xu threw it to him.

According to his words, the man placed the water bag on the old woman's forehead.

"Hydration bladder!" Yuan Xu stretched out his hand to Yuan Jun behind him.

One Yuan Jun untied the water bag and handed it to him.

Throwing the water bag to the man again, Yuan Xu said, "Feed my mother-in-law a few sips!" ”

The man also knows that people with fever will feel better if they drink more water.

But all the way to the end, the water brought with me has been fed to the old woman.

Taking the water bag, he untied the tether without thinking about it and fed the old woman a few sips.

A cold water pack is applied to his forehead. After a few more sips of cool cold water, the old woman hummed softly.

"Mother!" The old woman made a voice, and the man hurriedly called.

The old woman in a coma did not respond, and remained asleep.

"Don't delay. Hurry up! ”

Yuan Xu urged and took the lead in riding forward.

From the moment he saw the man and the old woman, he didn't ask the other party what his name was. Helping hands directly.

At first he was suspicious until he rode out. The last of the man's vigilance was finally removed.

I galloped all the way, and walked twenty or thirty miles. Yuan Xu and others went to Donglai City.

When I entered the city, it was already a little dark.

Even if they arrived at the port at night, it was impossible for a ship to take them to Penglai.

Only stay overnight in Donglai, and go on the road the next morning.

led everyone straight to the official mansion, ordered someone to find a doctor, and Yuan Xu and others settled down in the backyard of the official mansion.

The healer gave the old woman a needle and left some herbs.

I boiled the medicine with my own hands, fed the old woman to drink, and saw that she had some fever, and the man was relieved.

It was only at this time that he remembered that he had not yet thanked Yuan Xu.

When he left the room, he found it was late at night.

I had the heart to thank you again the next morning, but I always felt that there was always something in my heart.

After thinking about it, he decided to go and see if Yuan Xu had fallen asleep.

Yuan Xu's residence is not far from the room where the man and the old woman are settled.

Guarding the door were two Yuan soldiers.

Seeing the man coming, a Yuan Jun shouted, "Who? ”

"A certain person came to thank Childe!"

"Childe has fallen asleep ......"

"So-and-so hasn't fallen asleep yet." Yuan Xu's voice came from inside the house: "Please let him in." ”

Looking at the man suspiciously, Yuan Jun muttered at the door with a cold face.

Yuan Jun bowed his hand to the doorkeeper, and the man pushed the door into the house.

There was an oil lamp in the room, and the dim light shone on Yuan Xu's face, making him look very haggard.

He was asleep just now, Yuan Jun's question came from outside the door, and he heard the man's voice again, so he deliberately replied.

Seeing that he was tired, the man hurriedly said: "I don't know that the son has rested, there is a lot of trouble, and I am very afraid!" ”

"Your Excellency needs no more courtesy." Yuan Xu arched his hand: "Is my mother-in-law okay?" ”

"The doctor gave the needle and took the herbs, and the fever subsided."

"It's good to have a fever, the elderly are different from children. When the child has a fever, he can also jump around. Once the elderly have a fever, it is not a trivial matter. ”

"That's what Childe said!" The man said: "If it weren't for the son's righteous help, the old mother would be more than lucky!" ”

"It's just a matter of effort, and you don't need to pay attention."

"Dare to ask the son's surname, this kindness will definitely be repaid!"

"Yuan Xu, the fifth son of the Yuan family, Your Excellency can call a certain Xianxin." Yuan Xu asked rhetorically, "Can you tell your Excellency your honorable name?" ”

"Donglai Taishi Gong, the word is filial piety!"

"Brother Zixiao!" After each of them had their names and surnames, Yuan Xu gave his hand again, which was regarded as an official salute.

"The son is a nobleman of the Yuan family, and the word 'brother' must not be deserved!" Tai Shi Gong replied: "The old mother was rescued by the son, there is no good at it, she has learned martial arts since she was a child, and when she settles down with her mother, she is willing to be a guard by the side of the son to repay her great kindness!" ”

"Parents are here, not far away!" Yuan Xu said: "Zixiao is like this, how can a certain heart be safe? ”

"If the son refuses, there is nothing to repay, but to return the life with his life!"

Tai Shi Gong was stubborn to this point, Yuan Xu said: "There is no other intention, if Zixiao is willing to follow, he can't ask for it." It is not appropriate for the mother-in-law to stay at home alone after all, and the son of filial piety can bring Ling Ci. ”

Tai Shi Gong's face was stunned.

Haoxiong recruited warriors, and never heard of mentioning that he could bring his mother.

Yuan Xu's move was unexpected.

"The second brother of a certain family went out to seek fame in his early years, but he has not returned for many years." Tai Shi Gong knelt down on one knee and said: "I am worried, if the old mother travels far away, how to settle down, the son can accommodate Jiaci!" From today onwards, Tai Shi Gong will follow his son, and he will not give up in life and death! (To be continued.) )
