Duan gradually woke up from his coma. The dazzling light made him squint his eyes, and the tingling pain from all over his body stimulated his nerves. This seemed to be a simple room with very simple layout. There was only one sheet of paper around. A table and a few chairs, and some farm tools hung on the wall, and the harsh light came from the window. Dumb murmured in the confusion: "I, where am I?"
"You are at my house." A middle-aged man walked up to Ah-Dai. He was plainly dressed, and the wind and frost had left a few marks on his face. He looked like an honest farmer, "Brother, how did you do this? Really?" It's embarrassing enough!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Ah-Dai couldn't help recalling the situation before he fell into a coma. He kept running, fell, got up again, fell again, got up again, I don't know how long it took, when the body When he couldn't hold on to his will, he finally fell to the ground and passed out. This is all his previous memories, "Uncle, did you save me?"
"Uncle? Brother, you are not younger than me, why do you call me uncle?"
Duan was taken aback, touched his face subconsciously, and was surprised to find that the beard had grown to more than an inch. He struggled to sit up, and said with a wry smile, "Uncle, I'm actually only in my twenties!"
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Ah! I really can't see it! Little brother, you are too embarrassed. Just now I was chopping firewood in the mountains, and I found you fainted on the ground, so I carried you back, you How did you do this? Did you meet a robber?"
Dumb didn't know how to explain to the middle-aged man, so he said, "Yes, I met a robber."
The middle-aged man is a simple farmer, and he didn't delve into the origin of Dumb. He smiled and said: "Get better, get up, wash your face, and eat something. I think you must be hungry."
Dumb nodded, and said, "Thank you for saving me, I seem to be a little hungry." Even he himself didn't know how long he hadn't eaten. Although true energy can sustain life, people still have to eat of.
The middle-aged man laughed when he heard Dumb's words, and said, "Okay, you wash up first, and I'll get you something to eat." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of the simple room.
Duan mobilized his true energy silently, and he was surprised to find that he still had as much as 60% of his true energy, and after so many days of consumption, his skill was not exhausted.
Duan's current situation actually reflected the greatest characteristic of Shengsheng Zhenqi. Although Dui consumed it quickly, his skill had reached the peak of Shengsheng Jue after all, and the self-circulation of Shengsheng Zhenqi made him not suffer any harm at all. Compared with the last time he left the Elven Forest, he is no longer the same now, which is why Xi Wen said that even if he wanted to die, it would not be so easy.
After washing his face, shaving off the beard on his face, and changing into a set of clothes for a middle-aged man, Ah-Dai felt much refreshed. His heart was numb at this time, after these days of pain, he couldn't think of any good way except to escape.
The place where the middle-aged man lives is a small village. There is a small stream flowing by the village, nourishing the surrounding rice fields. After eating a rough meal, Ah-Dai’s spirit has improved a lot, and his inner strength has recovered a little, stretching his body. Body, he couldn't help thinking, since facing everything is so painful, why don't I die here? This quiet life should be the most suitable for me.
"Brother, where are you from? Where did this come from? I can't tell, but you are quite strong."
Dumb turned to look at him, and smiled wryly, who is he from? As long as he can remember, he was in the Tianjin Empire, but he had the black hair and black eyes of the Sunset Empire and the Huasheng Empire. After thinking about it, he murmured: "I am from the Tianjin Empire, I am from Nino City. .”
The middle-aged man was taken aback, "Nino City, it's very far away from here! I heard that it's always freezing there all year round, you must be of mixed race. We in the Tianjin Empire are all blond and blue-eyed. "
Dumb said in surprise: "Is this in the Tianjin Empire? I thought it was in the Sunset Empire."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Of course this is within the territory of the Tianjin Empire. It belongs to the Mica Province. It is only a hundred miles away from Mica City, the capital of the Mica Province. The nobles there like to eat our rice. , and said that it is a green food that has not undergone chemical fertilizers and industrial pollution."
Mica Province? What a familiar place name! Dumb felt like he had heard of it somewhere, Nino City, Mica Province, ah! He suddenly remembered. Back then, didn't the old woman who took the girl away in the small town of Nino say that she was the wife of the Governor of Mica Province? That said, I'm very close to the girl now. Thinking of the girl, Duan's heart couldn't help but get hot. Girl, after all, is the first person in his heart who is more important than steamed buns, and her status in Ah-Dai's heart is second only to Xuan Yue. He finally knew what he was going to do.
"Uncle, does the governor of Mica Province live in Mica City?"
"Of course, which province's governor does not live in the provincial capital of the province."
"Then, can you tell me how to get to Mica City? I want to go there and have a look."
"Of course, you can go north from our place and you will reach Mica City. Little brother, looking at you now, you are very down and out! What are you doing there?"
Dumb glanced at the middle-aged man, and said, "I, I'm looking for someone."
That night, Duan left a few diamond coins at the middle-aged man's house, and quietly left this simple village in the dark. Although he is very grateful for the middle-aged man's help, he also knows that if he leaves too much money for the middle-aged man, it may affect his normal life. It is better to let him live a peaceful life.
It's already October, and although the Mica Province is located in the middle of the mainland, the night is already a little chilly. Duan glides lightly in the air, he removes the fighting spirit from his bodyguard, and lets the night wind blow his irritability , Girl, I haven't seen each other for almost ten years, I don't know what she looks like now, maybe, he has already forgotten me. Due to the misery in his heart, Dumb couldn't help but think of everything as bad.
The scenery on both sides kept rushing past him. He was not moving fast. After reaching a height of six inches, the golden body seemed to undergo a qualitative change. Under the urging of Duan, it continuously emitted surging energy to circulate around the body. Although it was not a meditation practice, the energy consumed a few days ago was still quickly recovered.
The distance of more than one hundred miles was nothing to Dui. Even if he didn't run with all his strength, after more than half an hour, he had already seen the tall city walls of Mica City.
The terrain of Mica City is dangerous, surrounded by high mountains on both sides, surrounding the whole city in the center, like a sleeping lion lying down at the foot of the mountain, it looks so quiet, the 20-meter-wide moat in front of the city has been closed With a suspension bridge, this kind of city with mountains and rivers has a strong defense. The Mica Province and the adjacent Dulu Province are both important military bases of the Tianjin Empire. There are 30,000 defenders stationed next to the capital of the Mica Province. These defenders are the elite troops of the governor of the Mica Province. Extremely strong fighting power.
Looking at the vast city in front of him, Dumb stopped apprehensively. The time when he was with the girl when he was a child kept flashing in his mind. He seemed to have returned to the days when he was suffering from cold and starvation in the small town of Nino. Uncle Li's greed, his friends' indifference and the girl's weakness were all so clear in his mind.
"Brother Dumb, it's really painful to be alive!"
"Girl, I'll give you something to eat, it won't hurt when you're full."
"Brother Dumb, why are you so nice to me?"
"Have I treated you well? Eat the steamed buns quickly. You won't be cold after eating the steamed buns. I'm going to fetch the fish later."
Looking at Ah-Dai's simple and honest face, the girl couldn't help being a little silly, and with both hands, she divided the half of the steamed bun into two and handed it to Ah-Dai.
Dumb swallowed and said, "I, I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
The girl stuffed the steamed buns into Ah-Dai's hands, and said, "I have a small appetite, so I can't eat that much, let's eat together." As she spoke, she held her quarter of steamed buns with both hands and took a hard bite.
Dumb let out a groan, and wolfed down the quarter of the steamed bun. Since he ate too fast, he couldn't help but choked, "Ah, woo."
Seeing Ah-Dai's flushed face, the girl couldn't help but chuckled, and while patting his back, she grabbed a handful from the snow left on the ground the day before yesterday and stuffed it into Ah-Dai's mouth.
Dumb worked hard to turn the snow into water, and it took a long time to swallow the dry steamed buns in his throat. He took a deep breath, patted his chest, and said, "Thank you!"
"Brother Dumb, I will marry you when I grow up, okay?"
"What is marriage?"
"Marrying means that I will be your wife and take care of you for the rest of my life! I will take it as your promise, and don't go back on it. From now on, my girl will be your dumb fiancee. You must treat me well in the future."
"Fiancee? Oh, okay, then I'll give you a little more steamed buns every day."
…
Fiancee, is this girl your fiancee? Does she still remember the original promise? What should I do if she remembers, what should I do if she doesn't? When he arrived outside Yunmu City, Ah-Dai couldn't help but flinch a little. He was really afraid that he would face another blow after seeing the girl.
After a long time, Ah-Dai finally made up his mind, and decided to go to the city to see the girl, all he needed to do was hide in the dark and take a look at her. If she is living well, I will not bother her; if she is living in pain, then I will save her from the sea of suffering. After figuring it out, Ah-Dai suddenly felt enlightened, and floated up, easily crossed the moat, and came to the city of Mica.
The defense of Mica City is very strict, even on the moat outside the city, there are several teams of soldiers patrolling. Dumb looked left and right, and before the patrolling soldiers approached, he charged down his fighting spirit, and his body shot up into the sky like a cannonball. Normally, although he used his fighting spirit to fly, he never flew too high. Now he saw the ground under his feet gradually shrinking, and the tall wall of Mica City became a narrow strip. He couldn't help feeling a strange pleasure in his heart . Although flying as much as three hundred meters above the ground, Ah-Dai didn't feel any signs of exhaustion in his fighting spirit, so he easily controlled his fighting spirit and flew towards Mica City.
The night was dark, and most of the Mica City was already dark. Duan thought, the girl should be in the Governor's Mansion of Mica Province. Since it is the governor's mansion, it must be very large in scale, so I should find it from a place with a larger area. With his astonishing eyesight, he quickly found a large-scale courtyard near the mountain behind Mica City. This courtyard was backed by the mountain peak and was about tens of thousands of square meters wide. Dui controlled his body and fell down. Looking into the yard, he saw groups of patrolling soldiers constantly cruising, the weapons in their hands flickering coldly. Although they were just patrolling the night, these soldiers seemed to be full of energy It looks like a long-trained army. Apart from the Governor's Mansion, how could there be troops patrolling other places in Mica City? It seems that I found the right one.
Quietly landed on a rockery in the courtyard, Ah-Dai used the surrounding terrain to cover his body and looked around. Next to the rockery is a small bamboo forest, there is no unusual movement, the breeze blows, the bamboo forest rustles, and under the illumination of the bright moon, there is a patchwork of whirling tree shadows on the ground. Dumb entered the bamboo forest through his body, and he didn't know where to find it, so he had to fumble to the edge of the bamboo forest and look towards the houses in the Governor's Mansion.
Almost all the large houses are silent, only a few places have faint light. Dui took advantage of a group of patrolling soldiers passing by, floated up and down on the roof of the house and lay down without making a sound. Taking a deep breath, he urged the golden body in his body to float to his head, expanding his hearing continuously. All kinds of noisy sounds suddenly came into his ears clearly, and he kept distinguishing these sounds. After a long while, the sound coming from a house in the east attracted Duan's attention, and he controlled his hearing to look towards that room. The room moved, and there were two people talking in the room, a man and a woman. To be precise, they should be joking. I just heard the man say, "Rongrong, your skin is so smooth! It's so comfortable to touch."
The woman snorted softly, gasped and said hurriedly: "I hate it, you, don't touch other people's place! Hmph, how am I better than your fake sister!"
The man apologized and said with a smile: "Of course she is much stronger. How can she be compared with a young lady like you from a humble background? Let's be together, don't you always mention her."
"Hmph, don't be sloppy in front of me. Let me tell you, if you don't drive her out of the governor's mansion, I won't marry you. You can figure it out yourself."
"Don't, don't, Rongrong, don't do this. After all, she is my granddaughter adopted by my grandma. In name, she is also my younger sister, and now she is sick again. You can't do too much."
The girl said disdainfully: "Don't be hypocritical in front of me, you have done worse things than this, are you still afraid of driving her out of the house? Thinking of how cruel you were when you beat her, I am really afraid that the same thing will happen to me Body. I don’t care, anyway, you are going to drive her out of the house early tomorrow morning, I will go to your grandparents and tell you, based on the friendship between my grandpa and them, they must give some face. "
"Okay, okay, okay, my little aunt. I'll drive her away tomorrow morning, that's fine. Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future. Come on, I can't wait."
The girl's groans sounded, the sound of entanglement of limbs and the sound of clothes being torn made Dumb's ears reddened, and the voice of this man and woman's conversation was very familiar to his ears, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Especially the man's voice, frowning, Duan quietly moved to the eaves of the room where the voice came from, looked around, but no one found his trace. Driven by curiosity, he carefully lifted the tiles on the roof and looked inside. I saw two white sheep-like bodies, a man and a woman, rolling and undulating on the big bed. This was the first time he had seen such a situation, Dumb's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he hurriedly turned his head away. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look into the room again. Surprised to find that the two people who were ups and downs together actually knew each other. That man was the white-clothed boy I had seen in Dulu City last time, and that woman was Rongrong, the granddaughter of Figate, Governor of Dulu Province. Dumb thought in surprise, how could they be together? The boy in white seems to be called Tilo. Where is the girl who was with him before? Aren't they a couple
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and in connection with the conversation between the two just now, Ah-Dai suddenly understood that the man and woman who said they wanted to drive away just now were probably the girl who was with Tilo last time and gave him alms. Why is Tiro in the Governor's Mansion in Mica Province? Does he have anything to do with this place? An ominous premonition arose in Dumb's heart. He seemed to have thought of something, but he was not sure.
When Ti Luo and Rongrong were in the room, Dui suddenly heard another voice in the Governor's Mansion, a sad voice, "Miss, miss, wake up!"
Startled in his heart, the voice seemed to affect Dumb's heart, he flew up subconsciously, and rushed towards the direction where the voice appeared. The room where the sound came from was in the corner of the Governor's Mansion. It was a small room, and the cry of a girl was constantly echoing, but because the place was very remote, no patrolling soldiers noticed it. Duan floated to the roof, hooked his toes to the eaves of the house and hung down to look into the house. I saw a girl wearing a long pink dress and two braids hanging down her head, crying on the bed. From the side view, the girl looked pretty. Dumb's eyes turned to the bed, and his whole body was shocked. The girl lying on the bed was the girl who was with Tiro in Dulu Province last time, but her face was extremely pale, and she had already lost the look of the day . Seeing the girl's appearance, Ah-Dai felt uncomfortable as if a big rock was blocked in his heart. He tiptoed a little on the eaves, walked in through the window, and landed lightly on the back of the girl in pink.
The girl in pink was completely in grief, and she didn't realize that there was someone behind her, and she was still crying. Dui looked at Tiffya, who was pale on the bed, and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. From Tiffya's weak breathing, Dumb could clearly feel that she was in critical condition and might die at any time. "What's wrong with her?"
Ah-Dai's deep voice startled the girl in pink, she turned her head suddenly, and was about to yell, but Ah-Dai covered her mouth. Duan said in a deep voice: "Don't bark, I don't mean anything malicious. I'm her friend, tell me, what's wrong with her?"
The panic in the pink girl's eyes gradually disappeared, and she blinked at Dumb. Dumb let go of his hand, the girl in pink looked at him in horror, took two steps back to protect Tiffya behind her, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, who are you? What do you want to do? Did the young master send you to deal with it? Miss?"
Dumb frowned and said, "I've already said, I'm a friend of your young lady, tell me, what's wrong with her?"
The vigilance of the girl in pink didn't disappear, she wiped away the tears from her face, and said in a hateful voice: "The young master must have sent you here, you guys are so hateful! You have already hurt the young lady so badly, why don't you stop?" If you want to kill, just kill me first." She opened her arms, stopped in front of Tiffya, and stared at Dumb full of hatred.
Duan felt Tiffya's breathing become weaker, and knew that there was no longer any delay, so with a wave of his hand, white fighting energy shot out, immediately sealing the helpless girl in pink. Sucking and releasing his left hand, he took her body aside, while he sat in the position where the girl in pink was just now. He lifted Tiffya's arm from under the quilt, and probed the aura in her body with his true energy. A look of surprise kept flashing in Dumb's eyes. Tiffya's condition was much more serious than he had imagined. Her current body can only be described in two words: decay, and all the functions in her body are almost exhausted. Only The weak heartbeat proves that she is still alive, and the situation is worse than when Mie Feng was injured by the Lord that day. Except that she still has a breath, she is no different from a dead person. The silver light floated out from Dumb's palm, transforming into a silver band of light, and quickly tapped around Tiffya's heart a few times, stimulating the organs in her body with the vitality that generated true energy. At the same time, the other hand continuously transformed the huge vitality into Tiffya's body, nourishing her exhausted organs and meridians.
After a long while, Tiffya's face gradually showed a rosy face, and she seemed to have gotten better. It wasn't until this moment that the little maid realized that Ah-Dai really had no malice towards Tiffya, and the resentment in her eyes disappeared immediately, and she watched Tiffya's movements excitedly.
Dui took out the blood of the dragon from his bosom, and softly chanted the strongest light recovery magic he could use, "Use the blood of the dragon as a guide, great god! I beg you, release the endless divine power to me, Save the life in front of her, and let her regain her vitality." The blue halo flowed from the blood of the dragon, and gradually turned into white in mid-air, and the sacred breath filled the room, and Ah-Dai continued to sing Said: "The light of recovery, I command you in the name of the gods, Zhan releases all the energy, lends me the power of healing, heals the scars in front of me, and restores new life. - The healing of the gods." This is a seventh-level light system. Although the power of recovery magic is far inferior to the divine healing technique used by Xuan Yue and the Pope, it is much stronger than the light therapy that Dumb used to save Miefeng.
A white hexagram appeared in front of Ah-Dai, and in the center of the hexagram, a golden light appeared, and the golden symbol on the blood of the dragon lit up. With the support of Ah-Dai's continuous input of vital energy, he finally successfully launched the seven-level recovery magic. The golden light suddenly shines, and the strong light makes Dumb and the maid temporarily lose their vision. The golden light with powerful healing power suddenly shoots into Tiffya's chest. Trembling violently, her pale face was shrouded in golden light, and she seemed to be much more comfortable.
The golden light gradually receded, Dumb and the little maid regained their vision, and he injected the vitality into Tiffya's body again, feeling a little nervous about her changes. After a while, Dumb's face changed. Although the huge sacred power of the God's Healing was effective, it only healed most of the internal injuries in Tiffany's body. Those damaged organs were not completely repaired at all, especially hers. The lost qi and blood showed no signs of improvement. The effect of recovery magic on the injury is very obvious, but such a serious illness as Tiffany's own is really not very effective. Even if the Pope personally uses the divine healing technique to heal Tiffany who has suffered multiple injuries, it is almost impossible. is impossible. Looking at the kind girl in front of him, there was a trace of sadness in Dumb's eyes. He has tried his best, even if he puts all his strength into Tiffya's body now, it can't save her life.
With a wave of his hand, Ah-Dai released the restraint of the maidservant, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry, I have tried my best. The so-called medicine can never kill a disease, and the gods will have a destiny. Your lady's illness is too severe. Hey, my condolences Let's go." Although he only met Tiffya once, Duan always felt that Tiffya was very close to him, and there was no way to save her, so Dui felt extremely sad.
The servant girl fell to her knees in front of Ah-Dai with a plop, and cried bitterly: "Sir, sir, please save my miss. You must have a way. Miss is suffering so much! Just save her."
Just as Dui was about to speak, she heard Tivya coughing on the bed, and hurriedly stimulated the vital energy in her body, and injected it into her body. Given her current situation, it was not easy to wake up temporarily. Under the shroud of light, Tiffanya's delicate face showed a blush again, her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and her gray eyes slowly opened.
Dumb whispered: "Miss, how are you? Do you have anything to explain?"
Hearing Ah-Dai's voice, Tiffya slowly looked at him with blank eyes. When she saw Ah-Dai's appearance, her originally weak body seemed to be reinfused with life, and the blush on her face increased a little. Her eyes also looked a little bright, and she said weakly and tremblingly: "Dumb, Dumb... brother, I... am... dreaming... am I... am I... am I... already... dead...?"
Hearing Tiffya's words, Duan's whole body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "You, what do you call me? How do you know my name?"
Tiffya said intermittently like a dream: "Ah... dumb brother..., is it really... you...? I... so lucky... blessed...! Finally... finally... I can see... you again.... you No... remember... me...?... I,... I am... girl... ah!"
Tiffya's words hit Dumb's heart like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. He never thought that the dying girl in front of him was his childhood partner, the first person more important than steamed buns, and his fiancée — girl. The whole body was convulsed violently, tears came out majesticly, Duan tremblingly said: "You, are you a girl? Are you really a girl?"
Tiffya hesitated slightly all over her body, "A...dumb, dumb... brother..., it's... me...! I... just... girl... ah!... Remember... the last time... when you left... Dulu... city... When?... You said that your... name is Dumb..., and I too... only recognized... you at that time. I haven't seen you for many years. You actually... learned... such a... good martial... skills. Girl I'm so... so... so happy... ah! Ah... stupid brother..., ya... I miss you so much... I miss you so much... why... you... also... died... we... this is... on the ground... Prisoner...see...do you...?"
Dumb tightly grasped Tivya's little hand, and murmured: "No, you're not dead, girl, you're not dead yet. Why, why did you become like this, tell me, why did you become like this Look, who made you like this." He couldn't help recalling the conversation between Ti Luo and Rongrong just now, and he seemed to have understood something.
The girl said sadly: "Ah... Dumb brother..., no... who... harmed me..., all... I... myself... no... luck... ah!... Ah... Dumb brother..., I... regret... regret,... regret …repent.. I regret.. I regret… at the beginning… should not.. covet.. wealth.. follow.. grandma.. leave.. you.. if…, if… we… have been… in the small… city of Ni… Nuo…say,… say Not sure... now... still... living together happily... living... even if... even if... don’t... eat... full... wear... not warm... I am willing! Dumb... brother,... I really... really want to... , I really want to... go back to... the past,... go back to... when we were... when we were... when we were... when we were... when we were... holding fish... when..." Speaking of this, the girl coughed violently, mouthfuls of purple-black blood It kept flowing out of her mouth.
