What I didn't expect was that before seven days had passed, something unexpected happened.

About the third day after my appointment with Chenyi, I was at the old boatman at the entrance of the village, planning to buy two fish and go back to stew soup.

In the past four months, I have gone out to fish with the old boatman several times, and everyone is already familiar with each other, and he smiled kindly when he saw me: "Xiao Qi, these two big ones are for you." Hey, you're so polite, these fish were originally kept to give some fresh food to the villagers, so you have to do something with money. ”

I smiled and said, "It's all Uncle Tian's fishing skills, how can I be embarrassed to always eat Uncle Tian's fish for nothing." ”

When the woman from the same village who came to buy fish heard that it was me, she turned to me and said, "By the way, Xiaoqi, earlier today, two people came to our village and said that they wanted to collect the raw bamboo for the fence. ”

It's really rare to harvest bamboo this season, and I don't know what the situation is, so I thanked my aunt and planned to go home to see.

As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I saw two men dressed as merchants at the door of my house, smashing the wooden door with a loud bang.

The door is going to be smashed! I quickly stepped forward to stop: "Are you two coming to collect bamboo?" Let me in and put things down before I speak. As he spoke, he lifted the fish in his hand to them.

As soon as I opened the courtyard door, these two merchants followed me into the door unceremoniously, I was squeezed and staggered, but I saw Chen Yi walking quickly into the courtyard.

Chen Yi held me with one hand, but hid behind him with the other: "Bingran, are you okay?" ”

I nodded at him, "It's fine. ”

The two merchants also saw Chen Yi come out, and suddenly faced him with their fists and said, "Young General!" We are the subordinates of the old general Gu, the old general is very worried when he hears that you are missing, and his subordinates have been searching for several days, and now they have finally found the young general, go back with their subordinates! ”

I turned my head to look at Chen Yi, but his expression was very serious, as if he was still thinking about something, but he didn't seem to have the joy of reuniting with his subordinates.

I poked him and asked, "You want to leave now?" ”

Chen Yi heard me ask him, turned back to me and smiled softly: "Indeed, it seems that I am going to break my promise." Don't worry, I'll be fine, don't worry too much, the girl just promised your reward, I'm afraid it will be a little later to cash in. ”

Chen Yi turned to the two subordinates and said coldly, "Let's go!" We must no longer bother people. ”

When he said this, he smiled at me with relief, and was about to leave with the two men.

In the flash of light, I suddenly thought of some very bad guesses, and hurriedly called out to the three of them: "Stop! ”

I could feel that because I was shouting too quickly, my voice unconsciously carried a bit of sharp killing intent.

I walked towards Chenyi, looking like I was about to get angry: "I agreed with you for seven days, you said that everything is up to me, and now you really treat me here as a medical hall, you can leave if you want, and you don't even have to pay for the consultation?" After that, I stared at the two of them coldly: "You are in such a hurry to take people away, and you don't even ask how your major general's injuries are." ”

The two merchants were not afraid that I would do this, and one of them hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Thank you girl for treating our major general's arrow wound, but the military situation is urgent, please forgive me." ”

I seemed to be deaf, just looked at the three of them and sneered, and threw the two fish still in my hand to the ground with a "pop", the three of them were stunned when they saw my sudden attack, one of the "merchants" stepped forward and bent down to pick up the fish, I took the opportunity to spill the powder hidden in my sleeve at him - this powder is actually only for my self-defense, not a lethal poison, but inhalation or blood will make people unable to move.

This medicine worked quickly, the "merchant" immediately fell to the ground, and the other person saw that something was wrong, and attacked me, I grabbed another pack of medicine in my hand, but I couldn't find a chance to spread it, and I regretted that I was too impulsive just now. Suddenly, I heard a "Zheng" sound, and the sword that Chen Yi was hiding behind him was unsheathed at some point, blocking the menacing attack on the opposite side, and his people had already blocked me at some point, protecting me behind me. The man was quickly subdued by Chenyi, I knew that as a soldier, he must be a martial artist, but it was the first time I saw him shoot.

Chen Yi's face was pale, the killing intent in his eyes was sharp, and the blade of the sword was pressed against the man's throat: "Dare to send it out without weighing the skills of his subordinates, this old man really thinks very highly of himself!" If you don't want to die, get out of here, save my sword! ”

I was protected by him, and I didn't forget to add sharply: "Do you want to throw your life here for your master's sake now, or wait for me to call someone to kidnap you as robbers and send you to the official?" ”

These two people don't look like some dead soldiers and loyal servants, the "merchant" who was subdued by Chen Yi saw that the situation was not good, and left with the person who was still in my medicine powder and couldn't move on the ground, I stretched out my head to see, but Chen Yi was still in front of me, and the whole person was in a state of being on the verge of resisting the enemy, until it was confirmed that the two people had disappeared without a trace, and would not turn back. He relaxed, his body shook, and he knelt on one knee with a "snap", and supported himself with a sword in one hand to prevent himself from falling directly to the ground.

I hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but saw that the clothes on his chest were gradually stained red with blood: "Chenyi! ”

He smiled at me reluctantly, his forehead covered with cold sweat: "Is there a ...... Hurt you......"

"It's a wound that has cracked again, go back to the room!"

The battle just now seemed to be Chen Yi easily subduing the two of them, but it touched his wounds. After helping him treat his wounds, I couldn't help but feel a little angry when I thought back to the moment of horror just now.

Chen Yi saw my puffing appearance, and was a little at a loss: "...... Miss Shen...... Bingran, it was my negligence that I didn't protect you to let you encounter such a dangerous thing, and I was fortunate that you took care of my wounds, it was my fault, you ...... Don't be mad at me......"

As soon as he spoke, I became even more angry: "Am I angry about this? It's a blessing that neither of us added any new injuries this time, and the old injuries are secondary. I'm angry, I'm angry that you can't see that those two people are not good people, and you actually follow them and leave? Do you remember that you were injured, just in case, what if those two people are the top masters of martial arts and you can't deal with it, where will I go to pick you up again? ”

Chen Yi was a little surprised when he heard my reply, and was stunned for a moment before he said: "I was thinking about luring them away before making plans, if they let them stay in your yard for a long time, and then implicate you in a greater danger, I will be even more unhappy." ”

I said, "If you don't want to go, I'll go back and ask you to charge more for the consultation, isn't it, young general?" Thinking of this, I muttered dissatisfiedly: "I also said that I went to the soup to fight the fire, but it turned out that even the killer who you were told me." ”

Chen Yi looked apologetic: "I didn't mean to hide it, I am the son of General Gu who is stationed in the north, and now my father and brothers are leading the army to fight with Beirong at the three passes in the north of the town. When the mission was over, I received a secret letter from my father that the situation in the army might be different, and I was worried about the safety of my father and brother, so I led my subordinates to rush to the north by the starry night, and the rest of the matter was the same as I said before. Indeed, those two were not my father's subordinates, but should have been...... My father's political enemies sent it, but Bingran, you don't know these past circumstances, how did you find out that they are not good people? ”

There is still a political struggle here? Chen Yi should have concealed some specific details and didn't talk about them, but if I'm still curious about these, I'm afraid I'll die ugly.

Thinking of this, I smirked, "How did I find out?" Although we are already in the north, there is still some distance from where your father is stationed, your subordinates and you are separated to confirm that you are missing, rush to the three passes in the north of the town to report the news, and the searchers will set off from there to find here, this time, now that we are fighting, we can't send any elite people with fast feet to find people, so the time will not be so short, this is one of them; Since those two people are your father's subordinates, they also know that you should have suffered something wrong with your disappearance, and finding you didn't care about your situation at all, but just hurriedly wanted to take you away, which is unreasonable. But these are still my speculations, and there is no evidence, until they themselves expose a flaw-

Chen Yi listened to me talk about the Tao, and his face showed appreciation: "What flaw? ”

I continued, "I didn't let you leave because I felt something wrong, and one of them said thank you for treating your arrow wound in order to get out. You must know that your wound was bandaged at that time, and it was through your clothes, how did they know that you had an arrow wound at once? In a village like ours near the mountains, even if we speculate, we should first think of the beasts of the mountains or robbers with knives. So, probably because the people who plotted against you knew that you were hit by an arrow and your injuries were not light, so they didn't send any masters, but who made you have higher martial arts than them and met me who knows medical skills? But it's great that they can find a poor place like me. ”

Chen Yi smiled and said to me: "Well, the girl has superb medical skills and is very intelligent, and she is Chen Yi's lucky star." ”

I was suddenly complimented and blushed a little.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Today, those two people, I was worried that killing them directly would cause you trouble, and I was afraid that if they still wanted to resist me, it would be difficult to deal with them, so I let them go." Now that they have fled, they have discovered it, and I fear that if they send any more people, it will be against you. I intend to take you with you in three days, as long as I don't die, I will definitely keep you safe, I don't know if Bingran is willing? ”

Walk with him? I don't know martial arts, and I'm not familiar with people, and he's really not afraid of being killed by me. I said to him, "I know what you mean, but if the people of the village find out that I have left suddenly, they will be distracted, and they will not know what will happen." Since their target is you, if you leave, there is no point in bothering me. Besides, even if they do come to the door, I can hide in the mountains, and I can heal, so you don't have to worry about me. ”

Chen Yi wanted to say something more persuasive, but seeing my resolute attitude, he had to say, "This ...... Since the girl is unwilling, Chen Yi is not reluctant, but this," he took out a bamboo thing from his bosom and handed it to me: "I have nothing to do in the past few days, so I have made some arrows in my sleeve out of bamboo, although they are not as sharp as iron weapons, but they should be enough for self-defense, so I will leave them to you." ”

Over the next three days, he taught me how to use those arrows in my sleeve, and I have to say that the ancient weapons were still very interesting.

Chen Yi left early in the morning of the fourth day, and I had thought about saying goodbye to him the night before, but I didn't expect him to leave so early, and I ...... Naturally, I didn't wake up.

Gu Chenyi walked out of the inner room and saw the woman who was dreaming well, and his heart moved slightly. He stared at the sleeping person in front of him, his eyes were extremely gentle, and he was reluctant to look away, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his mind.

He moved a little closer and said softly, "Bingran, I'm leaving." Then he put what he had left for her on the table: "This is a memorial." ”

The woman in the dream seemed to hear his voice and replied indistinctly, "Hmm...... The package on the table...... There is medicine...... You are careful...... Don't die......"

Gu Chenyi opened the package that had been packed by the girl the night before, and saw that it contained all kinds of wound medicines that had been prepared in a hurry in the past few days, and his robe had been washed underneath, and the damaged parts were also marked with crooked patches. He cherished the package, "When this battle is over, I will definitely come back to pick you up, Bingran, wait for me." ”

“…… Well...... etc......"

When I woke up, he was gone, and there was a piece of jade and a note on the table, and the words on it were vigorous and powerful:

"Girl's great kindness, she will repay her in the future, until she dies, I only wish Bing Ran to cherish herself, don't think of me. - Chenyi"

I remembered that earlier he seemed to have said something to me before leaving, but at that time I should have ...... I thought I was daydreaming.

I was sleepy-eyed, and I tapped my head and still felt a mess: "What did he say before leaving?" How did I get back to him...... Wait...... Oh my god am I sleeping stupid, what nonsense! And this jade, he won't ask him for this when I ask him for the consultation fee, don't talk about our village, I'm afraid I don't even know this in the town next door, how can I use it? If only I had come to my senses sooner......"
