Chapter Twenty-Three: Scoundrels

Meng Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked into the man's eyes. His eyes were beautiful, black with a touch of purple, and they looked like the color of violets in the sun. At this time, there was a little brightness in his eyes. This made Meng Yuxuan feel a lot more relieved. This shows that he is not a fool. If the person she worked so hard to save was a fool, or had become a fool, it would be a little annoying.

"We saved you, don't you have anything to say?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the man and said, "My son said you ignore him." Why is that? Worried that we're the bad guys? ”

The man's mouth moved, and an annoyed look flashed in his eyes. When he heard the word 'son', his eyes flashed with loss.

is such a beauty, she has actually become her own son. She was so young, if he hadn't said it was her son, he would have thought it was her brother. It's a pity that it's a step too late!

Meng Yuxuan didn't know the complicated thoughts of men. She saw him move, but he didn't speak. She looked at his throat and asked tentatively, "Are you speechless?" Your throat hurts? ”

The man glared at her and turned his head haughtily.

Meng Yuxuan frowned and said lightly; "It seems that our mother and son have saved a Buddha and come back. We can't afford to treat our life-savers with this kind of attitude. Now that you're awake and your wounds are bandaged, take a break and leave! Xi'er, bring him two pieces of hawthorn cake to cushion his stomach. We've worked hard, and if he starves to death halfway, won't it be a waste of work? Just now, in order to clean up the traces for him, I went for a run in the mountains, but I was exhausted. Now I want to take a break. ”

The man looked back at her sharply, opened his mouth and said, "You cleaned up the traces?" How so? ”

"You are injured like this, and you know at a glance that the person who hurt you is not easy to deal with. We cannot see death without help. Since I saved you, I have to erase the traces! If those people come and our mother and son are affected by you, isn't that self-defeating? And then you have to ask why, are you really okay with your brain? ”

Meng Yuxuan saw him so grateful, her heart was on fire, and she was not polite when she spoke. Besides, he fell at their doorstep, and it was good that she didn't dislike him.

The man lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and looked at Meng Yuxuan.

Just when Meng Yuxuan thought that he had finally found out in his conscience and knew how to thank him, he closed his eyes and began to play dead again.

Meng Yuxuan's heart was mixed. She looked at Shangguan Xi next to her and sighed softly: "Xi'er, this experience tells us, don't save people casually next time." Where is this to save people, it is simply to save an ancestor. ”

"Mother, don't be angry. This uncle is injured and it is normal for him to be in a bad mood. Shangguan Xi took Meng Yuxuan's hand and comforted.

"Uncle?" The man opened his eyes abruptly and glared at Shangguan Xi in annoyance. "Who's your name, uncle?"

Shangguan Xi was startled. The man's eyes are too sharp and scary to look at.

Meng Yuxuan blocked Shangguan Xi behind her, looked at him coldly and said, "You are so unreasonable. Xi'er is only five years old, you look a few years older than me, is it wrong to call you uncle? Also, didn't you understand what I said just now? Now that you're awake, you can leave. I want you to leave right away! Right away! ”

I really don't want to see this person for a moment. It's so infuriating! How can anyone be saved and won't even say thank you? How did he work for the Lord's house before?

The man's face was wounded, and he couldn't see his expression. However, those eyes told Meng Yuxuan that he was annoyed and sad at this time, and he was in a very bad mood.

"I'm not leaving!" The man said coldly.

"You don't count." Meng Yuxuan hugged her arms and looked at him unhappily. "Saving you is already considered benevolent. There is no need for me to continue to provide for you. ”

"When I'm healed, I'll give you a lot of silver. Now let me stay and recuperate. I won't treat you badly in the future. The man glared at Meng Yuxuan and said angrily.

"How much silver can you have as a subordinate? I've also made a maid ring before, and two taels of silver a month is a lot. You little guy goes out and walks with the master, and there will be occasional rewards, but sometimes there will be other expenses, and the silver saved may not be as much as we do in the house. It's not worth being angry for your little money. ”

"Guy?" The man was puzzled, lowered his head and saw the clothes on his body, and suddenly understood. His eyes darkened, and he was silent for a long time.

"Nothing to say, right? Ready to leave without anything to say. Meng Yuxuan said.

"Where's your man! I told him. "The man still doesn't give up.

"He's out of the house. I'm in charge at home. That's why I let you go. There are only women and children in the house, and if someone else finds out that I am hiding a man, I will not be able to wash it by jumping into the river. I saved your life, you can't take revenge, can you? Meng Yuxuan said: "So, for everyone's good, you can leave if you have nothing to do." ”

The man lowered his eyes bitterly and said lightly, "Okay." I'll go. However, I don't have the strength right now, can you give me a break? ”

Meng Yuxuan finally relented. It took a lot of effort to save such a person, but you can't force it too hard. That might as well not save him in the first place.

"Mother, I'll get this uncle a few pastries to cushion his stomach." Shangguan Xi said and ran out.

Meng Yuxuan wanted to stop him, but he ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that this kid's physique is much better. In the past, he would gasp for breath when he walked a few steps, which was why Shangguan Huan didn't let him go out. But after walking in town for so long today, I helped her save people just now, and I didn't see him gasping for breath.

"You've bled too much, I'll go make you some porridge. By the time you eat the porridge, you'll probably be pretty much rested. Meng Yuxuan said and walked out the door. When I was at the door, I met Shangguan Xi, who came back with pastries, and repeated what he had said.

When Shangguan Xi heard that Meng Yuxuan was going to make porridge for the man, she looked at her with a smile in her eyes and said, "I know that my mother is kind and will not ignore that poisonous uncle." ”

"Anyway, he doesn't like to take care of you, so you don't care about him. Take a good rest for a while, and my mother will make you something to eat. Meng Yuxuan smiled: "It's just a matter of making porridge for him." If he doesn't eat it, we have to eat it. In that case, by the way, I will get him something to eat, and I will have the strength to go later. Otherwise, if we don't leave here, we will be in even more trouble. ”

The man listened to the sound outside, and his violet eyes flashed with anger. He took a deep breath and secretly told himself: Fortunately, that woman saved you, don't be impulsive.

Shangguan Xi entered the house and saw the man sitting up, a worried look flashed on his little face.

"You'd better lie down! Your wounds are so bad, the wounds are deep, and you have a lot of blood. Shangguan Xi kindly reminded.

"Boy, is she really your mother?" The man looked at Shangguan Xi and looked at him with suspicion. "Why don't you look like you at all?"

"What's not like it? She's my mother. Shangguan Xi looked at this man warily. What does this do, you ask? ”

"Nothing." The man said, lying down again. He closed his eyes and said sullenly, "Have you seen a horse?" ”

Meng Yuxuan happened to come back to get something, and when she heard the man's words, she thought about it for a while and told him truthfully: "Did that horse get hit by a lot of arrows?" ”

"Hmm. Have you seen it? The man was so agitated that the wound was ripped and blood seeped out.

"Excited about what? It's dead. I threw it off a cliff to erase the trace. And that baggage, I threw it down too. Meng Yuxuan said.

"You threw the baggage down too? What about what's in the baggage? Don't say you didn't flip. Don't you want to know if there's any silver in it? You country women are the most greedy. The man said coldly.

"How can you say that about my mother? My mother saved you, you don't know what to do, it's really the same as the snake that my father said was saved by the farmer. Shangguan Xi said angrily.

"Thrown. What's inside? Didn't see it. Meng Yuxuan originally wanted to say that the seal inside was still there, but this person was so angry that she didn't tell him.

His baggage was only a few tattered clothes, and the only thing of value was the seal. She thought about throwing the burden down, and those who were chasing and killing would believe that he had fallen too.

"You woman! Root...... I'm going to be killed by you. After the man finished speaking in a hurry, his body stiffened, and the whole person fell down.

Meng Yuxuan was shocked and hurriedly looked at him. I saw him lying on the bed, his eyes tightly closed.

Shangguan Xi said weakly: "Mother, he won't be angry to death, right?" ”

"It's not like I'm angry. However, he was badly wounded, and if he didn't drink medicine, the wound would easily fester. Meng Yuxuan said: "I see that his situation is not good. It's not easy for us to get rid of him. This person finally saved his life, and he can't really ignore it. It's a life! It's really infuriating, though. ”

"That'...... Are we going to heal him? Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan worriedly. It's been hard for my mother to raise me alone. Do you still want to raise him? ”

“…… Why didn't he fall in other homes, but in ours? Why is it such an angry person, I really want to see death and not save him. Meng Yuxuan said angrily.

"Mother, you won't. You're not such a ruthless person. Shangguan Xi pulled her arm, patted her ass and said.

"By the way, your father still has a pack of medicine left, which is for treating trauma anyway, so it should be able to be used." Meng Yuxuan patted her forehead and said, "I'll go boil the medicine." You're here watching him. Don't let him move, lest our hard work be in vain. ”

"I listen to my mother. Mother, go quickly! Shangguan Xi sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at someone who was sleeping.

Meng Yuxuan saw his cute appearance, pinched his little face and walked out with a smile.

She found Shangguan Huan's medicine bag in the kitchen. In order to increase the effectiveness of the medicine, she used space water to boil the medicine.

In the past, when I boiled medicine for Shangguan Huan, I only dared to add a bowl of space water, and there was never a situation where all the medicine was boiled with space water. It's not that I'm distressed about the space water, but I'm afraid that the effect of the medicine will be too fast, which will make Shangguan Huan suspect something. But there is no such concern for this person. She wished he was alive tomorrow so he could leave sooner.
