Then the closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed in the deep eyes, calming down when he saw the Mai boy in front of him, but there was still a slight chill.

"Hey, it hurts, let go!" Mo Li exclaimed in pain, and then shook the wrist that was let go, the man's hand was so strong that it almost crushed her little thin arm.

The man glanced at his bandaged shoulder, looked around and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Seeing that he fixed his gaze on the coffin in front of the offering table, Mo Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "My aunt." "What about the rest of your family?"

"I don't remember...... My aunt said that our hometown was hit by a disaster, and the family was gone, leaving only me and my aunt. I seem to have a problem here......" Mo Li's mind turned quickly, and he pointed to his head and continued to make up, "I have only recently come to my senses, but my aunt is ...... Alas......"

The man glanced at Mo Li deeply, as if he wanted to ask something, but stopped again.

The man glanced at Mo Li deeply, as if he wanted to ask something, but stopped again. It took a long time to touch it with a little difficulty with his uninjured left hand in his arms: "Do you see a small bamboo tube?" ”

"Isn't that it?" Mo Li handed over an emerald green bamboo tube with the thickness of a finger.

The man nodded, but did not reach out to take it, but said lightly but unquestionably: "Go outside, open the lid on it, and throw it directly into the sky." ”

Mo Li rolled his eyes in his heart: It seems that this uncle regards himself as his follower! Although he was dissatisfied, he did as he was told.

When a light blue light streaked across the night sky, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh: the technical level of the ancients was still quite high.

Back in the ruined temple, the man was sitting cross-legged, resting with his eyes closed. Mo Li didn't bother him, and after adding a few pieces of burning paper to the brazier, he leaned against the offering table and closed his eyes.

A short time later, there was a low chirping of insects outside. Mo Lizheng felt strange, it's October, how can there be insects. The man put his index finger between his lips and rhythmically blew out a few tones.

As the voice fell, two dark figures flashed in. When the two guards dressed as men saw the man, their eyes lit up, but they looked at Mo Li on the side vigilantly.

The man waved his hand: "He saved me." ”

Hearing this, the two gratefully hugged Mo Li, and one of them said, "Thank you, little brother!" ”。 Then knelt in front of the man: "The subordinates are late to save the car, please punish the master!" The two knelt on the ground with fists clasped, their voices were low, but there was a faint hint of joy.

"Let's go back and get up first." The man said, turned his head to look at Mo Li: "What are your plans in the future?" ”

Mo Li shrugged: "Bury my aunt first, and then go to the town to find a job." ”

The man narrowed his eyes, seemed to think for a moment, and said, "You can go with me." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, no need!" Mo Li refused without thinking about it, "I don't want to be a slave with anyone. ”

"Who said you were a slave?" The man stared at Mo Li.

"These two eldest brothers are martial arts practitioners at first glance, so they can naturally be guards. And I ......" Mo Li shook his head helplessly, "I don't have any skills, my son will take me in, and I will only be a servant or a scholar or something, aren't these all slaves?" ”

"So what?" The man asked with interest.

"So, I'd better find something else to do on my own." Mo Li said indifferently.

"I just saved you," the man looked at Mo Li and whispered, "If I hadn't made a timely move, you'd probably be ...... right now."

"I'm here to save you, okay?" Mo Li glared at the man and said angrily.

"But in fact, it was I who snatched your life from the steel knife, shouldn't you repay it?"

The two guards next to him glanced at each other in surprise, their master has always been silent, why did he say so much to this thin kid today, and there was still a little bit of a scoundrel.

Seeing Mo Li's puffed appearance, the corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, but he ordered without question: "Don't make you a slave, follow me back to the barracks and be my guard." ”

"Barracks?" Mo Li frowned, the barracks is a good place to hide, and now that it is about to enter winter, it is not easy for people to find out that she is a woman.

She didn't know much about the situation in the original owner's house, so she couldn't rush to the door. It's only been a little more than a month since I arrived in this world, and most of the time is still spent taking care of Mama Lin, so how to survive here in the future is really a problem.

For now, going to the barracks is a viable path. As long as you don't reveal your identity as a woman.

Mo Li subconsciously glanced at his chest, fortunately, the original owner had just turned sixteen years old, and he was not fully developed, so he tightened it with a strip of cloth, and it was really flat.

"Yes, barracks. Be my personal bodyguard, and obey me alone. The man's deep voice interrupted Mo Li's thoughts.

"But...... My aunt hasn't been buried yet......" Mo Li hesitated.

"If the little brother doesn't dislike it, we can help." The two guards glanced at their master.

The man seemed to be more satisfied with his subordinates' initiative, and sat cross-legged again, closing his eyes and resting.

As soon as the day dawned, Mama Lin had been buried on the hillside behind the ruined temple. All the physical work was basically done by two guards, and Mo Li couldn't help but sigh secretly: People who know martial arts can still do it!

Back in the ruined temple, the man was still the same as before, but there were two more people next to him, also wearing dark guard clothes.

No wonder the two guards before were so relieved to leave the man alone in the ruined temple, it turned out that there were more than two guards.

With the group descending the mountain together, Mo Li wanted to get acquainted with a few guards, but he didn't want these people to be as unsmiling as their masters.

Along the way, Mo Li only knew that their code names were Eleven, Fourteen, Fifteen, and Seventeen. Among them, eleven and fifteen are the two who helped her bury Mama Lin. And their master's surname is Murong and Chu.

At the foot of the mountain, several men in military uniforms were waiting with horses. Seeing them, they all clasped their fists and saluted: "General! ”

Murong Chu took the reins from one of the soldiers, and the others also turned over and got on their horses with him, only Mo Li was still standing in place.

Murong Chu glanced down at her, bent down slightly, grabbed her collar and threw her on his horse.

Mo Li was just about to struggle, but was pressed on the horse's back by a big hand: "Don't move, I won't be responsible for picking you up if you fall!" Mo Li was really afraid that he would fall, so he could only lie on the back of the horse obediently.

The horses galloped all the way, and Mo Li was also upside down. Fortunately, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, otherwise I would have to be turned upside down.

I don't know how far I have run, but just when Mo Li felt that he was about to fall apart, the horse finally stopped.

"General, you're finally back!" A slightly gruff voice came from far and near.
