It was almost twilight, and the birds were throwing themselves into the forest.

The old man carried a bow in one hand, a dog in the other, and a dirty little girl on his back, and went back to the fence yard.

The dog barked around him, and he put Cui Zhi on the chair and went out.

Mo Bao was unconscious, Cui Zhi whispered that it did not respond, and tears kept falling. After a while, Xishan Yu went and returned, holding a basin of water in his hand, a handkerchief on the side of the basin, and a small stone mortar in the other hand, and the smell of herbs wafted out.

Cui Zhi struggled to get off the chair, but Xishan stopped her, told her to sit still, tore the rags on her knees, wiped the wound with hot water, and applied the herbs.

What kind of herb is this, Cui Zhi didn't know, but she had never seen Xishan Yu's expression so soft, and the rough big hand was soft, and she looked at him with a look in her eyes, as if she had thought of something.

Cui Zhi listened to Xishanyu's words, and sat down obediently and did not move.

At such an old age, Xishan Yu should have a lot of past! Perhaps at this time, he thought of the fond memories of those old years.

She looked at Xishanyu and saw that the old man's hair was half mixed with white hair, and under the oil lamp, his skin was dark, and he was always wearing black clothes, which made people afraid to look at him from afar.

At this time, Cui Zhi didn't feel any fear before, and suddenly wanted to ask Xishanyu, where have your family and friends gone? Why are you left alone?

She didn't speak, Xishan Yu drugged her legs, and turned her two little hands over to take a look. Stones, sand, and twigs and grass thorns scratched her hands with blood, and Xishan sighed almost inexplicably, and slowly wiped her hands clean and coated them with herbs.

Cui Zhi has been obediently not moving, she can feel that Xishan Yu seems to regard her as someone in her memory, and Cui Zhi can feel the gentle care he treats that person.

Even Xishan Yu handled her little paws and wiped her face with a hot towel, but she didn't move.

After dealing with everything, Xishan Yu stood quietly and looked at Cui Zhi for a long time, as if he had just come back to his senses, looked at Mobao, and said, "The dog is fine, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Cui Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

But when it gets dark and she doesn't go home, Tian will be worried.

She stretched out her head to look out, and Xishan Yu understood what she meant, "You go to sleep, I'll go talk to the Shao family in Jiuxi Village." ”

Cui Zhi was surprised and delighted. Xishan Yu also knew that she had a close relationship with the Shao family. He told the Shao family that the Shao family would bring Xin'er to the Tian family.

It's so late, she and Mobao are both injured, and it's really hard to go home. She hurriedly thanked Xishanyu, but Xishanyu didn't respond, and pointed to the bed in the room.

Cui Zhi nodded again and again, and Xishan Yu went out.

Although this fence courtyard is a solitary place for Xishan Yu, it can be cleaned up everywhere and neatly. There was a straw mat on the bed, and Cui Zhi sat on the bed without sleepiness for a while, thinking about being arrested today.

She was really careless, she thought that after a series of things before and after the Taoist test, Wu Tao was going to go to the tall and short students, and would find another way, but she didn't expect that she was still staring at herself and wanted to open a breakthrough from her.

Could it be that Wu Tao realized the real relationship between her and the tall and short students? Or is it another mistake?

But in any case, last time, Meng Zhongting saved her at a critical moment, and this time Xishanyu took action and drove the three away, so what about next time? What if Wu Tao stared at her?

No, Wu Tao will not be able to get rid of it for a while, she can't be passive all the time, she has to ask Duan Wanquan to find her a guard!

She thought about it and made up her mind, and pondered about Wu Tao's and Shixianglou for a while, but Xishanyu hadn't come back yet. From the fence courtyard to Jiuxizhuang, it does take some time to go back and forth, Cui Zhi waited for a while, and the light of the oil lamp was about to go out in a trance. She blew out the light and prepared to sleep for a while.

It was a strange place, there was no one in the yard except dogs, Cui Zhi couldn't sleep, he didn't pay attention, and felt something pressed on the edge of the straw mat.

She fumbled her way and was startled when she grabbed the thing.

It turned out to be a long knife, half a zhang long!

In terms of Xishan Yu's archery skills to drive away the three people today, he is an old man, and Cui Zhi knows it, but there is a long knife next to the bed, which still shocks Cui Zhi.

She heard Wei Ming say that when Wei Ming used to fight, he would carry a knife with him, and he would be inseparable, and he would be pressed next to the bed when he slew.

But that was when the army was marching and fighting, what did Xishan Yu do with a knife in these years?

Cui Zhi thought of everything in the old man again.

Xishanyu's past must be unusual!

Thinking about it, she fell asleep, and when Xishanyu came back, she stood beside her bed for a long time, and pulled the quilt to cover her, she didn't know.

Before dawn the next day, Tian, the Guo family, and the Shao family went outside the fence courtyard.

Cui Zhi kept silent and didn't mention that he was caught, only said that he fell down the hillside and injured himself. Tian was distressed, asked this and that, saw that Cui Zhi was coated with herbs, and thanked Xishanyu again and again.

Xishan Yu suddenly asked her, "Is it your niece?" ”

Tian was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "It's my niece, so you have to worry about it!" If it weren't for you, where would I go to find this child? ”

Xishan Yu didn't answer her words, and nodded thoughtfully.

Mobao woke up in the middle of the night, Xishan Yu had already checked it for him, and immediately instructed Cui Zhi, "Don't take it to the Santao River to swim, rest for a few days." ”

Does he still know that she often takes Mobao to swim in the Three Peach River?

Cui Zhi solemnly agreed.

The group left the fence yard.

When leaving, Cui Zhi, who was sitting on the donkey, glanced back, and the old man stood at the window of the house, although he was not sent out, but his eyes looked this way. Cui Zhi bent his eyes at his old man and smiled, his old man did not react, but somehow, Cui Zhi felt that his gaze seemed to be much softer.

*

The next day, Wei Ming and Duan Wanquan also knew about it, and hurriedly rushed back from the county seat, seeing Cui Zhi sitting under the tree with his hands and feet in the shade, and Mo Bao lying at her feet honestly, Duan Wanquan asked anxiously: "How did you fall down from the mountain?" ”

Wei Ming's face sank like words, he walked to Cui Zhi's side and saw the newly knotted scar on her hand, "Does it hurt?" ”

Cui Zhi said that it hurt, and raised his head to glance at him, "It hurts, Brother Mu!" ”

Wei Ming was silent, Duan Wanquan sighed, and looked at the poor Mobao who was looking at everyone, "Why did Mobao fall too?" ”

Cui Zhi didn't reply to his question, and Wei Ming asked in a deep voice, "Is it from last time?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Duan Wanquan was suddenly surprised again, "Are they still here?!" ”

Obviously, no one expected that Wu Tao's trick would be played twice.

Cui Zhi nodded helplessly and called Duan Wanquan, "Brother Quan, help me find a guard, otherwise I won't dare to go out." ”

Duan Wanquan naturally agreed, "Pick a good kung fu for you as soon as possible." ”

When he said this, Cui Zhi saw that Wei Ming still had a calm face and didn't say a word.

Cui Zhi knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly pulled him, "Wu Tao's is not so easy to clean up, and I suspect her, but I don't know that I am a tall and short student." If I make a move now, it will inevitably make her think that I am indeed a flaw here. This is archived in advance, and then I will settle the ledger with her later! ”
