Zhu Cai wanted to help, but the injured person was a woman after all, and Zhu Cai couldn't be too reckless. Fortunately, this was not the first time that the young woman had dealt with this kind of thing, and her movements were very skillful, so she didn't need Zhu Cai's help.
After bandaging the wound of her companion, the young woman breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to Zhu Cai and said, "Thank you for taking us in! Don't worry, we will leave when my uncle gets better, and we will never harm you."
Zhu Cai quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong with me? Don't be polite, girl. But you said, this is your uncle?"
Zhu Cai looked curiously at the woman on the bed, amazed in his heart. Judging from her appearance, this woman was in her thirties, mature and charming, but unexpectedly she was already respected as a master uncle. I don’t know if it’s because he’s young or because he’s taken good care of himself.
When Zhu Cai asked, the young woman's face immediately flashed with a deep sadness that could not be resolved. She nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "We were originally a group of six people who were chased by the enemy all the way. When we arrived, In the Divine Thunder City, only my uncle and I are left, and my uncle was also injured by the enemy's sword! If you hadn't been kind enough to take us in, boss, I'm afraid we would..."
In fact, there was no need for this young woman to tell her, but looking at her appearance, Zhu Cai knew that their journey must be very difficult, and he couldn't help but feel a fire of justice in his chest. What a dirty person he was. How could he be so cruel to such a weak woman
Judging from the wound on the woman on the bed, it was definitely not that deep. The opponent's sword was clearly intended to cut off her entire arm. The attack was not without poison!
"Girl, you don't have to be afraid, just stay here with me and rest in peace." Zhu Cai's sense of justice made him obligated to choose to give shelter to the two girls, and his words were very firm.
Looking at Zhu Cai's burning eyes, the face of the young woman was full of emotion. She bowed deeply to Zhu Cai and said, "Boss, it is already a great kindness to us that you are willing to open the door for us. But we We really can’t stay here for long. I believe it won’t be long before our enemies will track us down. By then, I’m afraid we will cause trouble for you... "
"Oh! Didn't I already tell you that I, Zhu Cai, am not afraid of being implicated!"
"But you don't know that our enemy is very powerful and kills without blinking an eye..."
Before the young woman could finish her words, Zhu Cai said with a smile, "No matter how powerful the power is, I'm not afraid! Don't forget, this is Divine Thunder City, not somewhere else! I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm not an ordinary innkeeper either. "
"You..." Seeing Zhu Cai's confident look, the young woman couldn't help but feel something in her heart.
Although she really didn't want to implicate Zhu Cai, in fact, they were forced into a dead end. In this situation, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for them if they could have someone to rely on and give them shelter.
But Zhu Cai, who looks chubby and has no sign of any real energy surging on his body, is clearly an ordinary person who is not proficient in martial arts. What kind of protection can such a person give them? The young woman was really unsure.
Just when the young woman hesitated, Zhu Cai laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, it's decided! You see, your uncle is injured so badly that he can no longer bear the pain of running around." Well, you don’t want anything to happen to her, right?”
Zhu Cai was decisive and settled the matter without giving the young woman a chance to object.
The young woman was very moved and quickly bowed deeply to Zhu Cai and said, "Princess, I will never forget you, Xiaohui and my uncle!"
Zhu Cai laughed and waved his hand, saying: "Girl, you don't have to be like this. Although I, Zhu Cai, am not a warrior, I can't see the injustice in this world. It's getting late, Miss Xiao Hui, please rest early. If you need anything, just Call me loudly."
The young woman thanked Zhu Cai profusely and sent Zhu Cai out of the room.
I don't know if it was because of the good deeds he had done, but Zhu Cai's originally depressed mood was relieved a lot. The night was peaceful. Early the next morning, Zhu Cai and his eldest brother and sister-in-law were busy working in the store. The young woman named Xiao Hui slowly walked downstairs, supporting her uncle.
After a night of quiet rest, the uncle's complexion finally recovered, with a soft expression and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked so gentle, like a sister next door, and people couldn't help but want to get close to her.
Zhu Cai looked at it and shook his head repeatedly. For such a woman to be so vicious, she was simply heartless and inferior to a beast.
"Uncle Yu, this is Brother Zhu Cai, the innkeeper who kindly took us in last night!" Xiao Hui and Zhu Cai are no longer strangers, and their words are full of gratitude and intimacy.
When Xiao Hui's uncle heard this, he immediately quickened his pace and came to Zhu Cai. He bowed first and then said softly, "Yu Qingping thanked my benefactor!"
Such a petite beauty was so polite, and Zhu Cai was immediately at a loss. He couldn't help him, and he couldn't help him. His hands were scratching at his clothes in a hurry, and sweat even appeared on his forehead.
"Uh... girls, you don't have to be polite. You... you must be hungry. I'm going to prepare something to eat for you. You two... wait a moment!" After saying that, Zhu Cai actually ran away, as if The two beauties in front of them were like ferocious beasts, which made Yu Qingping and Xiao Hui unable to help but laugh.
Yu Qingping and Xiaohui couldn't bear to refuse Zhu Cai's kindness, so they found a quiet and unobtrusive seat to sit down. Zhu Cai really put a lot of thought into the breakfast he prepared for the two of them.
It's a simple white porridge, but it's cooked to just the right temperature, and the popping popcorn is very attractive. Several plates of crispy and refreshing side dishes are also extremely delicate and not greasy, just in line with the tastes of Qingping and Xiaohui.
The two apprentices and nephews were hunted down all the way, and they had never even had a warm meal, let alone such an exquisite and tasty breakfast. Looking at the satisfied expressions on their faces, one can tell that this meal was very satisfying.
Seeing how delicious Yu Qingping and Xiaohui were eating, Zhu Cai felt a sense of accomplishment and was naturally in a good mood. But just at this moment, an extremely discordant voice sounded, "You two bitches are really here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several men with unkind expressions rushed in. The leader was about thirty years old, holding a three-foot long sword in his hand, with a fierce look on his face! The eyes looking at Yu Qingping and Xiaohui were filled with endless murderous intent.
Yu Qingping and Xiao Hui looked at each other, not very surprised by the other's arrival, but the helplessness and sadness faintly revealed in their eyes made Zhu Cai's heart hurt as if someone had pinched him hard.
Yu Qingping stood up gently, nodded slightly to Zhu Cai to express her gratitude, then turned to look at him, and said with full of resentment in her voice: "Li Yi, you Jue Sword Sect Along the way, all four of my disciples died in your hands. Even if you don't come to me, I will come to settle the matter with you."
"Ha! Okay, let's forget it now!" Li Yi sneered, looking arrogant.
"Li Yi, you are so shameless! If my uncle hadn't been injured, how dare you be so presumptuous?"
Although Li Yi has a certain status in Juejian Sect, he is by no means a big shot, let alone Yu Qingping's opponent. However, Yu Qingping was seriously injured, and even Li Yi became unbridled.
"You are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued even when you are about to die, you stinky girl, I will definitely put you in a dilemma between life and death!" Li Yi glared at Xiao Hui evilly and snorted.
Yu Qingping took a long breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to settle the matter, I will settle it with you, but I don't want to injure innocent people. How about we choose another place to fight to the death!"
"No need to go to so much trouble, I think this place is good. As for the innocent people, hehe, since they took you in, you are no longer innocent people." Li Yi turned to glance at Zhu Cai's family, his eyes were cold and full of With murderous intent.
Yu Qingping's heart suddenly sank. It seemed that she had still harmed Zhu Cai's family.
"Li Yi, you Juejian Sect people are not afraid of harming Tianhe if you act recklessly?" Xiao Hui was even more anxious than Yu Qingping and couldn't help shouting loudly.
Li Yi heard this, but he just smiled coldly, not even bothering to defend himself. He waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Go ahead and kill all those who are in the way and an eyesore!"
"Who dares!" Yu Qingping was anxious and took a step subconsciously, but accidentally touched the wound, and the blood immediately dyed her clothes red.
"Hmph! Yu Qingping, you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and you still have time to care about the life and death of others? How ridiculous!"
"I think the ridiculous person is you!" As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Zhu Cai suddenly roared and stood in front of Li Yi, with Yu Qingping and Xiao Hui blocking behind him.
Zhu Cai jumped out with such a roar that he startled Li Yi, thinking that some great master was coming. After calming down and realizing that Zhu Cai was a complete ordinary person, he immediately became angry.
A pair of eyes, gleaming with cold light, pressed towards Zhu Cai, gritted his teeth and said, "Have you had enough of your life? Believe it or not, I will chop you with one palm!?"
"Chop me and see! If you dare to touch a hair on my head, within a day, you will all be exposed on the streets!"
Zhu Cai put his hands on his hips and refused to give in in the face of Li Yi's intimidation. The originally chubby body now looked extremely tall and majestic, like an unfailing mountain! Yu Qingping and Xiaohui looked at each other in admiration.
Zhu Cai was obviously an ordinary person who was not proficient in martial arts, but the power that erupted from him at this time was something that should not be underestimated.
Even Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, never expecting that an ordinary mortal would have such courage and courage.
"How dare you bluff me, you bastard!" After a moment of silence, Li Yi suddenly roared and raised his palms high.
"Be careful!" Yu Qingping shouted urgently, her face changing drastically.
Zhu Cai, however, remained calm and calm. He waved his hand to Yu Qingping, then looked directly into Li Yi's eyes and said, "If you let him chop, let me see how courageous he is to actually dare to attack in this divine thunder city." Go wild!" (To be continued)
