The autumn wind blows, and there is not a single cloud in the sky. en8.
"Are you feeling better?" Liu Shu put the medicine bowl on the small table and glanced at the boy curled up in the quilt.
"Much better, thank you." Yun Qing's voice sounded more energetic than before. He raised his hand to lift the quilt and sat up, "Where's Amang?"
Liu Shu couldn't help but take another look at this child with a rather strange origin. He has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary temperament, just like a child from an ordinary city family. If you walk into a crowd, you will be overwhelmed immediately, and it will not attract anyone's attention at all. If there is anything special about him, it must be his eyes that have never been opened.
"Your eyes...?" Liu Shu couldn't help but ask.
"... When those thieves targeted us, they realized that Amang was extraordinary, so they poisoned the upper reaches in an attempt to bring down Amang." The child was startled for a moment, and immediately replied, "It's a pity that Amang is strong and not affected at all. . On the contrary, I couldn’t stand the toxicity, and gradually I couldn’t see clearly.”
Liu Shu noticed that when he said these words, he also had such a plain tone, as if he was talking about ordinary things. This made Liu Shu inexplicably feel that this child was a little strange, just like his eyes that had never been opened. Who knew what terrible things were hidden in his quiet and fragile expression
From the beginning to the end, the big man acted very wildly, obviously feeling that the situation was critical. In fact, the reality is that this is indeed the case. Although it is cold, the child is weak and may have to prepare for the funeral if it takes a long time.
But this child's behavior was completely opposite to that of the big man. He didn't feel panic at all. From escaping to seeking help in Jiu Ming City, everything was appropriate. Aman also had an unreasonable trust and obedience towards him.
If this kind of mentality appeared in the children of some aristocratic family, it would be easy to explain, but this Yun Qing is clearly a child of an ordinary family.
While Liu Shu was thinking wildly, Yun Qing jumped out of bed and walked out the door.
"Wait! What are you doing!" Liu Shu was startled by his movement and hurriedly stopped him.
"Go find Amang!" Ah Qing said matter-of-factly, with a child's unique willfulness in his tone.
"Don't go out!" Liu Shu quickly stopped him.
"Why?" Yun Qing raised his head, his expression a little confused, and his eyes still didn't open.
"This..." Liu Shu couldn't explain why. He hadn't received the order from Commander Song, so it was naturally inconvenient to let him go.
"I'm going to find Amang!" Yun Qing saw that he was stunned and ran outside the military doctor's tent without looking back. en8.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into someone head-on.
"What's the matter?" Commander Song was bumped by Yun Qing and asked with a frown.
"I want to go see Amang." Ah Qing rubbed his forehead and said, "We have to continue on our way."
"Answer me a few questions first." Commander Song looked Yun Qing up and down and said seriously.
Yun Qing nodded, and then asked: "What's the problem?"
"Who are you from, and what are you going to do on this trip?"
Ah Qing replied without thinking: "I come from a small village in the Shiwan Mountains in the south. By the way, it's called Yunjia Village. I went out from home to find my father this time."
"Your father?" Commander Song frowned.
"My father works as an errand in an official's house in the capital. I wanted to see him, so I dragged Aman out." Aqing's expression was still dull, which made people feel something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Did you run away from home?"
Ah Qing said in surprise: "Of course not. There are only two people at home, my father and I. How can we be considered to have run away from home?"
Commander Song really couldn't see any flaw in his expression, so he had no choice but to let him out.
Ah Qing happily ran out to find Amang, but the two people left in the tent looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.
"Isn't Shiwandashan...? Where did the village come from?" Liu Shu asked with some taboo.
"He doesn't look like he's lying. It's probably a village near the mountain. Children don't know much..." Commander Song looked calm, "Send them out of the city and don't worry about it anymore."
"Yes, yes!" Liu Shu lowered his head and said repeatedly. He also knew that the affairs of Shiwandashan were not something people like them could get involved in.
As soon as noon passed, Amang and Aqing left from the north gate after eating.
This deserted city is very deserted, and there is no one to see you off. A Qing rode on an old mule privately gifted by Commander Song, and A Mang followed him easily.
Just as he was about to go to Guandao, he heard an old voice calling from behind: "Little baby... stay!"
Ah Qing looked back and saw an old man in shabby clothes holding a small teapot waving from behind. This person is none other than Uncle Cha from Jiu Ming City.
"What's wrong?" Ah Qing didn't go back. He tilted his head on the mule and looked at the bad old man. Aman also tilted his head and looked at him in the same way.
"Old guy, I want to ask, is this Hundred Thousand Mountains... okay now?" Uncle Cha narrowed his eyes and walked over.
Ah Qing laughed: "Of course it's good. It's just that autumn is here, and hunters have begun to prepare food for winter. There are more hunting in the mountains, and the smell of blood is stronger."
Uncle Cha sighed and shook his head. Seeing the child's heartless smile, he couldn't help but ask, "You're not worried about not being able to find food this winter."
"I'm already in the capital in winter, what do things in the mountains have to do with me?" Ah Qing was still smiling.
"Hey... yes." Uncle Cha sighed again and handed out the small teapot in his hand, "It's not easy for you both to be mute and blind, so I will give you this teapot."
"How do you know Amang is mute?" Ah Qing did not reach out to pick it up, but asked while stroking his hair.
Although the big man kept wailing all the way, he actually didn't say a complete sentence. At this moment, Uncle Cha suddenly revealed that he was mute.
"The capital is not a good place, baby, be careful." Uncle Cha didn't answer. He thrust the teapot into Amang's hand and staggered away.
"Hahaha, it's really interesting." Ah Qing reached out to touch Amang's head. Amang was much taller than the child sitting on the mule, and he lowered his head obediently for him to touch.
"Amang, let's go. Hang the pot around your neck."
A child who looked to be in his early ten years, a big man with a silly face, and a slow old mule. Take your time and move towards the north.
Jiu Ming City is like an isolated island standing in the south. There is not even a larger town around it, let alone a city. The cities in the south always seem to be far apart from each other and are not as prosperous as those in the north. As soon as they came out of Jiu Ming City, Yun Qing and A Mang kept walking along the mountain road without even seeing a smoother official road.
At this time, they were walking on a hill outside Xianhua City. Amang was leading the way and Yun Qing was riding a mule behind.
There is already some autumn feeling in the forest. The leaf tips are slightly stained with frost red, but the leaf roots are still green. The contrast of red and green makes the whole forest look full of vitality.
It only took a short moment for the life in the air to disappear and murderous intent to surge up.
There was a man in white standing on the leaves, falling gracefully as the leaves fell, and swooped towards Yun Qing. His face was stiff and cold, and there was no sense in his eyes, only naked murderous intent.
Yun Qing seemed unaware of it, with a faint smile on his face.
There was a loud explosion, and the man in white was stopped by Amang's hand. The force of the dive knocked Amang away for a distance. After Aman knocked over several giant trees that were hundreds of years old, he shook his head and stood up blankly. He was unscathed.
"Amang, are you okay?" Yun Qing jumped off the mule and stood in the gloom of the woods, unable to see clearly.
The man in white was grabbed by the neck by Amang and couldn't break free. The big man had killed him. An ordinary person might have guessed that his neck had been broken. The man in white was being held like this, but his expression didn't change at all. He took out a small glass cup from his arms and rubbed it with one hand.
The small glass lamp emits a little white light, and then the man in white disappears in an instant.
"Hand over the things, and I will spare your life!" The man in white appeared in front of Yun Qing the next moment, grabbed his neck, and his tone of voice was creepy.
Yun Qing coughed several times in pain, but smiled a little when he spoke: "Do people from Shiwandashan only use these words to say hello?"
"Hand over the things and I will spare your life!"
The strength in the man in white's hand tightened, and Yun Qing's face became more and more ugly, but the smile in his tone did not diminish: "Idiot, do you know how many envoys in white like you have died in my hands?"
A small glass lamp appeared in Yun Qing's hand at some point. She didn't make any movement and just disappeared into the hands of the man in white, just like the man in white escaped from Amang's hand just now.
When the man in white saw him disappearing, his reaction was a beat slower. When he caught Yun Qing's figure again, a tall figure stood in front of him.
Amang's face, which had always been somewhat stupid, showed a ferocious and angry expression. He let out a painful cry, grabbed the arms of the man in white, and tore them off.
"Amang." Yun Qing could not help but frowned as he smelled the blood.
After hearing this, Amang's expression became more painful and panicked. He crushed the small glass cup, threw the man in white to the ground, and stepped heavily on his head.
"Let's go." Yun Qing got back on the frightened mule, covered his mouth and coughed, "or we will be overtaken again."
Under the thick fallen leaves, the body and blood of the man in white turned into nothingness bit by bit.
Amang's expression gradually became calmer. He followed Yun Qing's mule and walked quickly. The innocent expression on his face showed no trace of the ferocious murderous intention just now.
