Chapter 5: Ahsan

Half a month has passed since the tragedy in the nameless village, and it has snowed heavily recently. Looking out at the mountains in the distance, the snow is white.

Old man Zhai was carefully sifting the herbs around the cave bonfire, and after a long time, Mu Xiao, who was covered with snowflakes, walked in from the entrance of the cave. Old man Zhai didn't look up, but just said casually: "Come back?"

"I'm back, thank you seniors for burying my people, Mu Xiao is unforgettable. Mu Xiao bowed with gratitude.

Old man Zhai put down the herbs in his hand, patted the dust on his body and said: "It's okay, you go to Tianyuan, be careful in everything, remember our agreement, when you figure it out, go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to find the old man, the old man's medical skills can't be brought into the coffin." ”

"The seniors should be old and strong, don't talk nonsense, the seniors gave the sword the day before yesterday, and Mu Xiao benefited a lot!" Mu Xiao saluted gently. Earlier, Old Man Zhai wanted to take Mu Xiao as an apprentice and teach him medical skills, but he didn't find the whereabouts of his clansmen, and his revenge was not avenged, how could he have the heart to study medicine? Sword Dance Jianghu is destined to be his future path, this time he decided to go to Tianyuan City, mainly because it is more well-informed there, and it should be easier to know everything he wants to know.

"Well, the world is so big, you can go and see it first, from now on two days to the east is Tianyuan City, this is some of the things that the old man gave you. Old man Zhai handed over the small cloth bag, like a grandfather's instructions to his grandson!

Mu Xiao is speechless, it was Old Man Zhai who gave him a second life, and he didn't know when they would be able to meet this time. His heart ached.

The snow was like goose feathers, and a thick layer of snow was piled up on the top of the mountain, and the footprints left by Mu Xiao when he left were slowly filled in, without any trace, leaving only the old man Zhai humming a small song in the cave.

A new journey or a new beginning, for Mu Xiao, who grew up in an unknown village, he couldn't help but be a little confused. This time the road is far away, there are few towns along the way, it is inevitable to eat and sleep in the open, and the sky is gradually darkening. Happily, there is a dilapidated hut that looks like a temple not far ahead, so I simply rest for one night before setting off.

The wooden house got closer and closer, but Mu Xiao became more and more solemn, and the blood stains looming on the snow were leading to the lonely temple. As we approached, it was finally clear that it was indeed a temple that had been abandoned for many years, the snow had crushed the eaves in many places, the windows were covered with cobwebs, and the wellhead of the courtyard was abruptly displayed in the snow. Cautiously leaning in, the sound of tiles shattering beneath his feet can be heard.

The bloodstains on the threshold of the temple, which had been dried, made Mu Xiao lift his senses again, and looked around when he entered. His eyes finally stopped in a corner behind the door, and in front of him was a man in his 40s, his clothes were torn one by one, the blood from the dense wounds on his arms and arms had congealed, and his chapped and white lips looked like a dead man.

Mu Xiao tentatively probed his hand in front of him, and the person was not dead, but his breathing was weak. Mu Xiao turned out the cloth bag given by the old man Zhai before leaving, and several small jade bottles came into view, and the jade bottles had text logos and uses on them.

"Qi and Blood Pill, save your life urgently! Mu Xiao picked up a jade bottle, looked at the words on it, and muttered to himself. I don't know if it's a good person or a bad person, it's going to get dark soon, and I have to spend the night here, what if this person wakes up in the middle of the night? Thinking of this, Mu Xiao looked at the door panel of the temple, which was about an inch thick, extremely heavy, and it took a lot of effort to remove it.

The door panel lay flat on the ground, and the unconscious man was dragged to the door panel and lay down. The robes he carried with him were cut into strips of cloth, and the five flowers were tied together with the door panels. Looking at the big man in front of him who was tied to the door panel, Mu Xiao had a feeling that he wanted to laugh, it was too ugly, but it was very strong. The safety measures were done, he fed the Qi and Blood Pill to the big man, put on a coat, sat down and ate dry food by himself, and looked at the big man while eating, there was no movement for a long time, maybe the effect of the medicine had not started.

At some point, Mu Xiao was tired and fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn. suddenly looked at the big man who was tied to the door bar last night, but he was long gone in the temple, leaving messy rags on the ground. Mu Xiao subconsciously looked at the things he was carrying, there was not one thing missing, and then he touched his body without any abnormality, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Treading ...... Just when Mu Xiao was about to get up and leave, the big man walked into the temple with a rabbit in his hand, and the burly figure walked into the door and bent down slightly, seeing that Mu Xiao had woken up, he smiled roughly: "Wake up?

Mu Xiao took two steps back, distanced himself from it, and in the next second, Dahan stretched out his right hand, holding a dying hare in his hand: "It's cold and snowy, it's not easy to find something to eat, let's just take a break!", Dahan looked familiar, which made Mu Xiao relax his vigilance slightly.

"It's okay, I tied you to the door last night, it's really helpless, I hope my brother doesn't mind. Mu Xiao was embarrassed.

Dahan smiled again, and didn't take it to heart at all: "Hey, it's indispensable to guard against people, you saved my life, and I have to thank you, don't you?" If I want to hurt you, brother, you can't tie up those strips of cloth." ”

The big man threw the rabbit aside, walked to the back of the altar, and after some tinkering, the pots and pans were turned out, and there was even a jar of wine. Seeing his skillful movements, it is obvious that this is not the first time he has been here, but more like his own home.

Mu Xiao looked at the big man in surprise, and couldn't help but speak: "Brother, you're not polite at all, shouldn't this wine be a sacrifice?"

"Nonsense, I'm a prescient Ah San, I passed by here in my early years, and hid here with some goods, but I didn't expect it to be quite complete, so I don't know if this jar of wine is rancid. Dahan patted off the sealed mud on the lid of the altar, and when he opened the wine jar, the fragrance was fragrant. Although Mu Xiao rarely drank alcohol, he was also swallowed by the thick aroma of wine at this moment.

"You kid saved my life, I don't know what your name is. Ah Sang picked up the pot and walked out: "Come and help, there is a wooden bucket, get some water."

"My name is Mu Xiao. Mu Xiao followed, lifted the wooden barrel on the side of the well, and was suddenly a little depressed, there was a rope tied to the barrel tomorrow, why didn't you find it last night? Mu Xiao quipped: "Brother, if I used this rope to tie you last night, can you tie it?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Monster!" Mu Xiao was also quite speechless in the face of Ah San's decisive answer, and the rope with the thickness of his thumb couldn't tie him, which was also a bit excessive.

Ah San's dagger turned around the rabbit's neck, turned around and smiled: "You kid has just entered the rivers and lakes, and you have seen too little strange things, if you are interested, you can walk with your brother to ensure that you will benefit a lot, hahaha......"

"Very good, I'm worried about being lonely alone!" Mu Xiao felt a little wrong when he said this.

"Hey, it's numb, it's lonely, you have to find a woman!" Ahsan laughed uninhibitedly.
