In Ziyang City, a plainly dressed girl carried a huge vegetable basket full of vegetables and meat, came out of Fang Market, crossed several streets, and turned into a secluded alley.

There are several houses in this alley that are closed, and there are not peppers, cabbage, straw hats, and straw sandals drying outside the door, as other people's houses do.

The girl looked around cautiously to make sure that there was no one around, and then she went to the door of one of the houses, opened the brass lock that seemed to be locked, but was in fact only a false one, and entered the house, and then turned and closed the door immediately.

The girl looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with her hair simply pulled up in a double bun, a melon seed face, and a pair of round eyes. She is the girl Xiao Fu'er who was in the team of disaster victims that Zuo Ying and his party met outside Ziyang City that day.

After Xiao Fu'er walked into the house, he went straight through the front hall and came to a room in the back.

She put down the basket in her hand and walked quickly to the bed. I saw a young man lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, with his hair loose and his eyes closed. He had a sharp, fair-skinned face, a handsome countenance, a high nose and a few abrasions on his cheeks that had not yet healed. It turned out to be the scarlet feather who sacrificed himself alone to intercept the thieves that day and fought for Zuo Ying's chance to escape!

"Childe ......"

Xiao Fu'er reached out and touched Scarlet Feather's forehead, only to feel that the high fever that had been in the past few days seemed to have completely subsided, and she felt a little relieved. She turned and walked out of the room. When he came in, he carried a copper basin filled with clean water. She placed the brass basin on the basin rack beside Scarlet Feather's bed, and then went to the basket that was placed by the door, and took out all the meat and vegetables in the basket. A small porcelain vase placed at the bottom of the basket was revealed. There is a red paper on the porcelain vase, and the words "gold sore medicine" are written on the red paper.

She took the small porcelain vase to Scarlet Feather's bedside and carefully lifted the quilt from him.

Xiao Fu'er was shocked when he found Scarlet Feather lying on the side of the road covered in blood on that night when he was in chaos and swords. Finding that he was still or, he took advantage of the fact that the thieves were busy fighting and chasing the "fugitives", and dragged Scarlet Feathers to this house with horse leather and hid it.

At that time, it was urgent. I didn't care about the suspicion of men and women, so I took out some of the wound medicine from the master's house from this house, and cleaned the wound, stopped the bleeding, and applied the wound medicine to Scarlet Feather. Fortunately, there was no fatal wound on Scarlet Feather's body, and under her mistake, he even let him live so far, and the high fever gradually subsided, like a good sign.

But now. Xiao Fu'er secretly bought serious gold sore medicine from the pharmacy, and when she wanted to change the dressing for Scarlet Feather, she looked at his body lying on the bed wearing only a single coat, but her face turned red and she hesitated.

She has been a strong and brave boy since she was a child. I have always only thought about trying to take on more family and village affairs and participate in the work of adults, rather than being interested in what kind of bun I wear and what kind of fat powder I use, like most other girls of the same age. She even once believed that she would one day grow into a man who stood up to the sky and the earth, full of strength to break out of her own world. This feeling was especially strong after the disaster suddenly struck and took the lives of her family.

But this idea was shaken the moment she met Scarlet Feather. Although she didn't even say a word to Scarlet Feather, the compassionate, gentle and slightly sad look on his face when he distributed the disaster relief money to the victims, and the kindness and brilliance that he could empathize with the pain of strangers. It was instantly seared into the bottom of her heart, and she suddenly realized that there was such a force in this world that seemed to be gentle but capable of overcoming the stone, and before she knew it, some of the things in her heart that she thought were solid gradually melted, and were replaced by a delicate and subtle but lingering emotion.

Nervously, she reached for the hem of Scarlet Feather's robe. But the fingers involuntarily retracted the moment they touched his body. She felt like her face was burning too much to bear.

"Why is this happening? Can't you just think he's a little brother in the village? She said to herself anxiously, but the indescribable feeling in her heart was clearly more than anxious.

"Your Majesty......"

The scarlet feather on the bed suddenly let out a low, hoarse moan.

Xiao Fu'er was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Scarlet Feather's face. I saw that the eyeballs under his eyelids were turning rapidly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was trying to open his eyes.

"Childe, wake up, ......" Xiao Fu'er hurriedly approached Scarlet Feather's face and called softly.

"Your Majesty......" Scarlet Feather shouted again, her fingers moving for a moment, and finally slowly opened her eyes.

Xiao Fu'er was surprised and delighted, "Childe, it's great that you're awake." ”

Scarlet Feather squinted at her eyes, which were not yet used to the light, and quickly glanced around, elbowing the bed board and trying to get up, but the sharp pain in her body made him groan and lie down on the bed again.

"Childe, don't move, the injuries on your body are not light." Xiao Fu'er hurriedly pulled the quilt that was lifted, wanting to cover the scarlet feather.

Scarlet Feather's expression was a little painful, apparently the action just now had torn the wound on his body. His voice was weak but eager, "What about Your Majesty? What about Your Majesty? ”

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Fu'er was a little confused by the question. She didn't know that Her Majesty the Empress was in the group she met that day, and she didn't know that Scarlet Feather was His Majesty's guard. However, since Scarlet Feather was seriously injured when the city was broken, it is estimated that he is a sergeant in this Ziyang City, and it makes sense to ask His Majesty about the situation. Seeing that he was so nervous, he should be a very loyal and patriotic person, if he knew that His Majesty's life and death were uncertain, he might jump up and go out to find it in person.

"Your Majesty...... I heard that His Majesty evacuated safely and is not in Ziyang City. Xiao Fu'er replied cautiously.

Scarlet Feather really calmed down from her dazed and impatient mood, looked around again, looked at Xiao Fu'er and asked, "What kind of place is this?" You are...... You're the ...... that day."

Xiao Fu'er looked at the way Scarlet Feather's beautiful and watery eyes trembled gently when she looked at her, and her heart couldn't help beating wildly.

"Exactly...... I am the little Fu'er who helped that day...... "Xiao Fu'er felt that his voice was getting smaller and smaller, and he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva before he could continue incoherently, "This is Ziyang City...... This house is unoccupied...... That night, I met Childe lying on the side of the road...... So ......"
