Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 38: It's the New Year, everyone is here

Views:

Simplicity or not is relative.

Zhao Changhe didn't think he was a simple kid at first. He skipped classes when he was asked to stand in the corner, and he was a rebellious person. But looking back, the bookish Zhao Changhe in the school is no longer there. Instead, he is full of banditry, swearing and killing people.

Compared to today, wasn’t it simple back then

When Yue Hongling asked this, Zhao Changhe could roughly imagine why she was still staying in this remote place.

She was probably wondering whether she had saved a demon, so she stayed here to observe.

How should I describe the result of my observation... Of course, it is not the same as the initial impression, but it is not a monster either. On the contrary, it is able to restrain the cottagers and not harm the innocent. I don't know how she evaluates it in her heart, but at least she should be relieved.

So after being injured, and fearing for loss, he actually came here...

If things are really over, would he take the opportunity to snatch her away as his concubine

Come on, you can't rob me. If someone is injured, they can sneak into your house without making any noise. Isn't it easy to cut off your head? Do you really think you can do whatever you want

"Then I suggest you not to trust me. Everyone in the village knows that we have everything except a wife." Zhao Changhe casually placed the medicine and bandages on the table by the window, his eyes slightly lowered: "Can you apply it yourself? You shouldn't need help with such a small matter when traveling in the martial arts world. I'll go out and keep watch for you."

The two sentences have completely opposite meanings. Yue Hongling was speechless and didn't know how to comment... If she knew the word tsundere.

"I can apply it myself, thank you." She ignored the words "the wife of the bandit chief" and took the medicine in her hand and looked at Zhao Changhe, meaning that she was going to start applying it.

Zhao Changhe strode out of the door without even looking behind him, and walked away.

He could still be heard shouting outside: "No need to set up here, go dig farther away. The square over there looks like a place where we will be training our troops, but no one would have thought that there would be traps even in such a place. We'll call it a day after we finish this, and everyone can enjoy a meal and drink tonight!"

Yue Hongling smiled slightly, lowered her head and bit her lower lip, then gently lifted up her clothes at her lower abdomen.

There was a sword mark there, which was shocking.

In fact, the wound has been simply treated, and the blood is not still oozing now, but from before.

She had her own medicine with her, which was probably better than Zhao Changhe's, so she didn't need Zhao Changhe's medicine. She just wanted to find a relatively safe place to start healing. After all, this was not just an external injury, but also the sword energy was raging in her body, so it was not as easy as it looked.

She was not on guard against her opponent in this battle. On the contrary, she had a certain amount of admiration for her opponent this time... She was on guard against other outsiders who witnessed her fight. There was no guarantee that some villains might have bad intentions. She was alone and it was difficult to guard against ambushes. At least she had to have someone she trusted to watch over her.

It just so happens that these people are not that strong, and Zhao Changhe’s power is now enough to stop them.

She really came to seek refuge with Zhao Changhe. A few hours ago, even she herself had never thought that things would turn out this way.

Now Zhao Changhe’s reaction proved that he was not wrong about him.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Changhe's voice came from outside.

Yue Hongling carefully bandaged the wound and put down her clothes. Thinking that the man was outside when she lifted her clothes, her face turned slightly red, but she quickly calmed down and said, "It's done."

Zhao Changhe walked in and saw her still leaning against the window, looking weak and delicate. He felt very sorry for Yue Hongling and could not help but frowning and said, "I feel your injury is not that simple. Do you have internal injuries?"

"Yes, at this level, there are very few purely external injuries." Yue Hongling smiled: "But it's not a big problem. It will be fine as long as I can rest for a few days."

"In this mere Beimang, even I have defeated all my opponents, who can hurt you? This is so outrageous, won't my village be destroyed in the blink of an eye?"

"You are a copycat. If others get serious, you can be destroyed in the blink of an eye."

“…So who is this person?”

"The third Hidden Dragon is Cui Yuanyong from the Qinghe Cui family."

"Qianlong is third, which means he was originally second but you pushed him down to third?"

"right."

"So it was you who really took his place, and he was not convinced and came to trouble you? He ran from Qinghe to Beimang. I'm afraid he has been looking for you. Maybe he heard that you appeared in Beimang, so he came here specially?"

"right."

Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky: "The Book of Chaos has not moved... I feel that the outcome of your battles is different from that of mine. The battles on the list can really determine the ranking. Since the list has not moved, it means that although you are injured, he is more seriously injured, right?"

"Yes." Yue Hongling said three yeses in a row, and suddenly laughed: "What are you doing to show that you are not a vulgar warrior?"

Zhao Changhe had a blank expression on his face: "I was just wondering if I could take advantage of his illness to kill him and solve this problem."

"Although he is injured, he is not easy to deal with, not to mention that he has a sister guarding him." Yue Hongling sighed: "I don't want to do this either. He challenged me to a fight openly on the street, which is the way of a warrior. How can I cause trouble afterwards?"

"You came to me because you were worried that he might cause trouble?" "I'm not worried about him. He's an upright person with a great demeanor... What's that expression on your face?"

Zhao Changhe's expression was indeed a little dark, and his face was stern. When he heard her ask this, he said stiffly: "It's nothing. He is a young master from a noble family and has his own temperament. We, the bandits of the mountain village, only take advantage of others' misfortunes."

The sour smell was about to overflow outside the mountain. Yue Hongling looked at him strangely for a long time, and finally said: "But I take refuge in you, not him."

Zhao Changhe looked a little better, and then he felt that his jealousy was unreasonable. Yue Hongling was not related to him, and the kind of martial artists cherishing each other and challenging each other with great enthusiasm was very chivalrous, wasn't it? Didn't he like it too

So what are you so jealous about...

He felt a little embarrassed and lost face, so he clumsily changed the subject: "Have you eaten? Xuanguan Yajen, you didn't practice fasting, right?"

"No." Yue Hongling was not hypocritical. She smiled and clasped her fists: "I am indeed a little hungry. Sorry to bother Village Master Zhao."

Zhao Changhe really appreciated her straightforwardness, but for some reason, he still said something like this: "If we meet again in the martial arts world, will you call me Village Master Zhao?"

Yue Hongling seemed to be smiling: "Is this the Jianghu? Isn't this your old nest?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment. He thought you would ask seriously what you would call him, but you actually avoided the question with such words. It turns out that you are a little cunning...

That’s right. After all, she is just a girl younger than me. There is no such solid label as a heroic female hero.

Zhao Changhe laughed dumbly, and did not bother to argue with her. He strode out of the door and said, "They just went to the city to purchase, and the good stuff hasn't arrived yet. I'll see what they left for lunch and bring you some first. Don't run around. There are traps everywhere in the village. It's easy to fall into it without someone to guide you."

Seeing Zhao Changhe striding out of the door, Yue Hongling breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't care whether there is a law of nature or not, I will do it on my own!"

It seems that my choice was indeed right. This person has a righteous mind, which is not comparable to ordinary bandits.

What should I call you? How should I know

She stood up with some difficulty, supporting herself on the table, and felt the sword energy running through her body. Feeling that the situation seemed to be okay, she carefully climbed out of the window and rushed to the backyard.

Since there is no fasting, there are naturally some other things... For example, the female warrior also needs to urinate.

How could I have the nerve to look for a toilet in his room? Of course I had to go to the mountains to solve the problem.

As a result, just as he rushed out of the courtyard, Yue Hongling felt that his footing was not right. With a jolt in his heart, he was about to take a breath and fly into the air. However, the sword energy in his abdomen was twisting, and he couldn't jump up, and fell into the trap with a "thump".

Yue Hongling was both angry and anxious. "Zhao Changhe, are you crazy? You dug a trap next to your own wall. Aren't you afraid of accidentally setting it off while you practice martial arts?"

But at this moment, his internal energy was so tight that he couldn't jump out!

“Someone!”

"Behind the old courtyard, go and take a look!"

"Damn it, there are still people so blind, are you looking for death?"

"No, that direction feels like it came from the boss's house..."

Just after a while, voices rose up and a group of people rushed here from all directions.

Soon someone peeked out from above the trap, and Yue Hongling covered her face.

"Hey, it seems to be a woman... um, from the boss's house..."

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Changhe came over at a brisk pace and grabbed the person who was peeking behind him. "What are you looking at? Is it strange that I have a concubine hidden in my house? Get out of the way!"

Yue Hongling almost wanted to grab her face off.

The gangsters were filled with grief and anger.

You should know that this bastard has a criminal record. He hid Luo Qi in the house before, and now he hides a woman.

So what? You’re so awesome now, no one dares to compete with you for it, so why are you hiding it

Someone shouted into the pit: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother is good in everything except that he likes to hide things. It's New Year's Day, and since you're here, let's have a bonfire party later, come out and have some fun together..."

What the hell is going on!

Yue Hongling wanted to die.

She is so famous that some places even sell her portraits, and many people in the world can recognize her. Just like when Tianwang Dashan saw her passing by, he knew that Yue Hongling was coming...

So do you want to spread the word throughout the world tomorrow that Yue Hongling is the wife of a bandit gang
