"Lord Chu Gu." Shushan saw Chu Huai coming out of the dead woods with a mandarin duck on his back from a distance, walking towards him.

He wanted to catch up, but helplessly, he was pulled back by the shopkeeper, he looked at the shopkeeper with tears and snot about to wipe his clothes, and twitched his leg in disgust, but he was hugged tighter, and every time he lifted his leg, he felt that his feet seemed to be dragged by a jack, and he almost couldn't move.

"Loosen." Forgiveness said sharply.

"No! Lord of the village, you want to make the decision for me! This...... The priests have instructed me to do this, and I ...... I was forced too! I also...... I don't want to do that. ”

Chu Huai saw that the shopkeeper had been pestering Shushan, walked over briskly with the mandarin duck on his back, and kicked on the chest of the shopkeeper, and the mandarin duck's hand also slipped aside with his movements: "You also received a lot of benefits, didn't you?" The silver stamps under the mattress must have been the benefits you took from the priests of your mouth, right? ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to look at the faces of the two, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "It's not like this, listen to my explanation!" Listen to me! It's all forced! The priest said, "If you can't find a suitable living sacrifice this year, you will sacrifice me!" I was also forced to be helpless, so I ...... That's what happened to that girl! ”

Chu Huai was instantly forced to anger, and he yelled loudly at the shopkeeper: "But I heard that the tailor in the tailor shop didn't say that, a snobster like you who sees money might as well be sacrificed alive!" ”

The shopkeeper looked anxiously, "I, there are a few words that the people here can listen to, who knows if the words you said by the tailor are true and false, and only stupid Central Plains people like you will believe it." ”

"Since you have said so yourself, then you should know in your heart how much of what you say is true and how much is false......"

"Okay, Master Chu, don't say it again, leave this person to me, looking at the face of the mandarin duck girl, it doesn't seem to be very good." Shu Shan caught a glimpse of the mandarin duck almost disappearing from his breath, but Chu Huai on the side wanted to continue, so he hurriedly interrupted him.

"That's right! Mandarin duck! Chu Huai turned his head to look at her, only to see that her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be more painful than Fang Cai, "It's not good." ”

He quickly put the mandarin duck down, let her lie flat on the ground, untied the two small backpacks he was carrying, and began to rummage through the medicinal herbs inside.

"How could it not be." It's just that he couldn't find the medicine he was looking for, Chu Huai became more and more anxious, poured out all the medicinal materials, and spread them on the ground in the same way and looked at them carefully.

"Lord Chu, what are you looking for?" Shu Shan finally got rid of the shackles of the shopkeeper, directly carried him in his hand, and leaned his head closer to Chu Huai.

"One medicine, why can't I find it, I remember that I brought it!" Chu Huai also took out the powder pills hidden in the various pockets on his body and placed them on the ground one by one, and finally, he took out a small white bottle from a pile of medicines on the ground, held it in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally found it." ”

He turned his head to look at Shu Shan: "Master Shu, can you please help the mandarin duck up?" ”

"I'm afraid...... Men and women don't kiss each other. Shu Shan's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Master Shu, don't worry so much now, it's important to save people."

"That'...... All right. ”

Shu Shan took out a hemp rope out of nowhere, tied up the shopkeeper, and threw it aside, then carefully grabbed the mandarin duck's shoulders with his fingertips, gently helped her up, and then inserted the staff into the dirt and let her lean on her staff.

Chu Huai shook the mandarin duck's shoulder lightly and said softly in her ear: "Mandarin duck, open your mouth and take the medicine." ”

She still frowned, but she still opened her mouth obediently, "Little ...... ......"

The mandarin duck's voice sounded like a gossamer, Chu Huai's hand feeding the medicine paused, but still put the medicine into her mouth, lifted her chin, and forced her to swallow the pill.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The mandarin duck suddenly began to cough violently, her tightened eyebrows finally relaxed, she slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was Chu Huai and Shu Shan's worried looks.

Is it really a dream...... Otherwise, how could he hear Xiao Yuan's voice in a trance.

The mandarin duck lowered his eyes, and he really wanted to live in a dream forever.

"Mandarin duck, are you better?"

Only then did the mandarin duck feel that the throbbing pain in his stomach seemed to have been alleviated a lot, and he had completely felt that life was worse than death, "Thanks to Master's concern, I have gotten much better." ”

"Really...... Good over there. ”

Only then did Chu Huai begin to pack up the medicinal herbs that were spread all over the ground, dust off them, put them back in the cloth bag, and finally tied them tightly and threw them on his back.

"Then let's go first, and cause trouble to Master Shu." Chu Huai helped the mandarin duck up, pulled out the staff with his hand, and handed it back to Shu Shan.

"If you don't mind, you can come to stay at the house."

"This is not enough, it is already so troublesome to you, how can I be embarrassed to come to your house to nag you."

"Xiaosheng is also responsible for this matter, obviously the two are Xiaosheng's distinguished guests, but let the Mandarin Duck girl encounter this kind of thing on Xiaosheng's territory, it's really unpleasant, please don't shirk it anymore, live in Xiaosheng's house, and it should be regarded as making amends to the two."

"That'...... What do you think, mandarin ducks? Chu Huai was a little undecided, so he turned his head and asked the mandarin duck behind him

"Then Master should not live up to Master Shu's kindness." As soon as the mandarin duck remembered what happened in the inn, she was a little afraid, although Shu Shan looked a little gloomy, especially the smile that he kept on his lips, which always made her feel weird and terrifying.

Having said that, it is not difficult to hear from the conversation between the two just now that he is a figure with a head and a face in this village, and such a thing has just happened, and the mandarin duck is still a little scared, but if he can live in his house, it will be much more reassuring than the two wandering outside.

"Since the mandarin ducks have said so, then listen to her, it's hard work." Chu Huai saluted to Shu Shan.

"Where is the Lord of Chu Valley, please come here." Shu Shan picked up the shopkeeper who fell to the ground, and led the two of them towards the outside of the dead woods.

The mandarin duck stood in place, watching the back of Chu Huai walking into the dry forest, for some reason, he always felt that he was a little strange, as if he had changed a person in an instant, he had never let himself make up his mind before, and he had never seen him so worried and anxious, but this time he was ......

"Mandarin duck, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and keep up! Chu Huai, who had walked a few steps, suddenly found that the breath of the mandarin duck was getting farther and farther away from him, and turned his head in confusion, only to find that she was still standing in place.

"Ah, here we are!" Chu Huai's voice interrupted her thoughts, she glanced at Chu Huai, smiled knowingly, and quickly followed. It's because I'm too careful, Master, isn't this still the same as before?
