The autumn wind blows, and there is not a single cloud in the sky.
"Do you feel better?" Liu Shu put the medicine bowl on the small table, and glanced at the boy curled up in the quilt.
"It's much better, thank you." Yun Qing's voice seemed more energetic than before. He lifted the quilt and sat up, "Where's Aman?"
Liu Shu couldn't help but glanced at this strange child again. He has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary temperament, just like the children of ordinary people in the market. Once you walk into the crowd, you will be overwhelmed, and you will not be able to attract people's attention at all. If there is anything special, it must be his pair of eyes that have never been opened.
"Your eyes...?" Liu Shu couldn't help asking.
"... When those thieves were staring at us, they saw that Amon was extraordinary, so they poisoned the upstream, trying to bring Amon down." The child was slightly startled, and immediately replied, "It's a pity that Amon's body is strong, and he hasn't been affected at all. .On the contrary, I can't bear the toxicity, and I gradually lose my sight."
Liu Shu noticed that when he said these words, he also had such a flat tone, as if it was commonplace. 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 frantically, obviously feeling that the situation was critical. In fact, the reality is true. Although it is wind and cold, the child is weak, and it may take a long time to prepare for the funeral.
But the child's behavior was completely opposite to that of the big man. He didn't feel panic at all, and everything from escaping to calling for help in Jiuming City was appropriate. Amon also had an unreasonable trust and obedience towards him.
If this kind of disposition 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.
Liu Shu was thinking wildly, but Yun Qing jumped off the 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 as a matter of course, with a willful tone unique to children.
"Don't go out!" Liu Shu hurriedly stopped him.
"Why?" Yun Qing raised her head with a dazed expression, her eyes still closed.
"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!" Seeing that he was stunned, Yun Qing ran out of the military doctor's tent without looking back.
I didn't expect to bump into someone head-on.
"What's the matter?" Commander Song asked with a frown after being bumped by Yun Qing.
"I'm going to see Amang." Ah Qing rubbed his forehead and said, "We have to continue on our way."
"You answer a few questions for me first." Commander Song looked Yun Qing up and down, and said seriously.
Yun Qing nodded, and then asked: "What's the problem?"
"Where are you from, and what are you going to do on this trip?"
Ah Qing replied without hesitation: "I came from a small village in the south of Shiwanda Mountain. By the way, it's called Yunjia Village. This time I went out from home to find my father."
"Your father?" Commander Song frowned.
"Father works in an official's family in the capital. I wanted to see him, so I took Aman out." Aqing's expression was still flat, which made people feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"You ran away from home?"
Ah Qing said in surprise: "Of course not, there are only me and my father at home, how can we count as running away from home?"
Commander Song really couldn't see any flaws in his expression, so he turned sideways to let him out.
Ah Qing happily ran out to find A Mang, but the other two people in the tent looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.
"Isn't the Hundred Thousand Mountains...? Where did the village come from?" Liu Shu asked with some embarrassment.
"He doesn't really look like a liar. It's probably a village near the mountains. Children don't know much..." Commander Song said calmly, "Send them out of the city, don't worry about it anymore."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Shu lowered his head and said repeatedly, he also knew that people like them could not get involved in the affairs of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
After noon, Aman and Aqing left through the north city gate after they were full.
This deserted city is very deserted, and there is no one to see him off. Ah Qing rode on an old mule privately given by Commander Song, and A Mang easily followed behind him.
Just as she was about to go on the official road, she heard an old voice behind her calling: "Little baby... stay!"
Ah Qing looked back and saw an old man in a shabby shirt holding a small teapot and waving behind. This person is the old tea uncle of Jiuming City.
"What's the matter?" Ah Qing didn't go back, but tilted his head on the mule to look at the old man. Aman also tilted his head to look at him in a similar manner.
"Old guy, I want to ask, is this Hundred Thousand Mountains...is it alright 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 the hunters are starting to prepare food for the winter. There are more hunting in the mountains, and the smell of blood is stronger."
Uncle Cha sighed, shook his head, saw the child's heartless smiling face and couldn't help asking: "You don't have to worry about not being able to find food this winter."
"I'm already in the capital in winter, so what do I have to do with the mountain?" Ah Qing was still grinning.
"Hey... that's right." Uncle Cha sighed again, and passed out the small teapot in his hand, "It's not easy for you to be dumb and blind, so I'll give you this teapot."
"How do you know that Amang is dumb?" Ah Qing asked while stroking her hair instead of reaching out to pick it up.
Although the big man cried all the way, he didn't say a complete sentence. Uncle Cha suddenly pointed out that he was dumb.
"The capital city is not a good place, baby, be careful yourself." Uncle Cha didn't answer, put the teapot into Aman's hand, staggered, turned and left.
"Hahaha, it's really interesting." Ah Qing stretched out her hand to touch Aman's head. Aman was much taller than the child sitting on the mule, and she lowered her head obediently for him to touch.
"Amang, let's go. Hang the pot around your neck."
A kid in his early teens, a big guy with a silly face, and a slow old mule. Heading towards the north without any haste.
Jiuming City is like an isolated island standing in the south, and there is not even a larger town around it, let alone a city. The cities in the south seem to be far away from each other, and they are not as prosperous as those in the north. As soon as they came out of Jiuming City, Yun Qing and A Mang kept walking on the mountain road, and they couldn't even see a smoother official road.
At this time they were walking on a hill outside Xianhua City, Amang led the way, and Yun Qing rode behind on a mule.
There is already a sense of autumn in the forest, the leaf tips are slightly stained with frost red, but the roots of the leaves are still green. The red and green complement each other make the whole forest look full of vitality.
The vitality in the air dissipated, and the murderous intent surged in only a short moment.
A man in white stood on top of the leaves, and as the leaves fell, he swooped down towards Yunqing. His face was stiff and stern, and there was no intelligence in his eyes, only naked killing intent.
Yun Qing didn't seem to notice it, and there was still a faint smile on his face.
There was a loud bang, and the man in white was stopped by Aman's hand, and the force of the dive knocked Aman some distance away. After knocking over several hundred-year-old giant trees, Amang shook his head, then stood up in a daze, unscathed.
"Aman, are you okay?" Yun Qing jumped off the mule and stood in the shadow of the forest, unable to see clearly.
The man in white was grabbed by the neck by Amon and couldn't break free. This big man had killed him. If it was an ordinary person, his neck might have been twisted. The man in white was pulled so hard, 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 emitted a little white gleam, and then the man in white disappeared in place in an instant.
"Hand over the things, and spare your life!" The white-clothed man appeared in front of Yun Qing the next moment, grabbed his neck, and his tone without fluctuation made one's hair stand on end.
Yun Qing coughed a few times in pain, but she smiled a little when she spoke: "Do people from Shiwan Dashan only use this sentence to say hello?"
"Hand over the things, and spare you!"
The strength in the hands of the white-clothed man 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 white-clothed men like you have died in my hands?"
A small glazed cup also appeared in Yun Qing's hand at some point, and she didn't move, just disappeared into the hands of the man in white, exactly the same as the man in white got out of A-Mang's hand just now.
Seeing him disappear, the man in white reacted a bit slower. When he caught Yun Qing's figure again, a tall figure stood in front of him.
Amang had a ferocious and angry expression on his stupid face all the time. He wailed in pain, grabbed both arms of the man in white, and tore them off.
"Aman." Yun Qing frowned when she smelled blood.
Hearing this, Amang's expression became more and more painful and flustered. He crushed the small glazed lamp, threw the man in white to the ground, and stomped heavily on his head.
"Let's go." Yun Qing mounted the frightened mule again, covered her mouth and coughed, "Otherwise I'll be caught up again."
Under the thick fallen leaves, the body and blood of the man in white turned into nothingness little by little.
Aman's expression gradually calmed down, he followed Yun Qing's mule and walked quickly, and the silly expression on his face did not reveal the ferocious killing intent just now.
