When the doctor heard this, he showed a very strange expression on his face and asked in confusion: "Why do you say this?"
Chen Shou realized that his words were inappropriate and quickly explained: "Uh... nothing." A hint of embarrassing smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly, Chen Shou asked the doctor in a curious tone: "Who is the name of sir?"
The doctor was packing the medicine box. When he heard Chen Shou’s question, he stopped his movements and turned around, with a gentle smile on his face and replied: “My surname is Mi.”
After saying that, the doctor carried the medicine box and walked out with a steady pace.
Zhao Yun and others searched hard in the mountains and forests for several days, but still found no trace of Chen Shou and Chen's father.
Zhao Yun's handsome face was full of fatigue and anxiety at this moment, his eyes were covered with bloodshot and his brows were frowning.
"Look carefully! Don't let go of any corner!" Zhao Yun shouted loudly, with a hint of trembling and despair in his voice.
The soldiers were also frustrated and walked through the mountains and forests with heavy steps.
"Why can't you find it? Where are they?" Zhao Yun murmured to himself, and the spear in his hand hung weakly on the ground.
His eyes became empty, and the heroic spirit of the past was now replaced by deep despair.
"Did it really disappear like this?" Zhao Yun punched the trunk beside him, and the leaves fell down, as if they were also sad about their fruitlessness.
As the sun sets, the afterglow pulls Zhao Yun's figure for a long time, looking so lonely and helpless.
As night fell, Zhao Yun and his soldiers had to give up searching for a while and return to the camp.
Zhao Yun sat in the camp, staring at the beating candlelight with dull eyes, and the faces of Chen Shou and Chen's father kept appearing in his mind.
The deputy general walked into the camp and said softly: "General, let's take a rest first, and look for it tomorrow." Zhao Yun raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of anger: "How can I rest with peace of mind if I can't find them!" The deputy general lowered his head helplessly, not daring to say more.
After a few more days, nothing was found.
Zhao Yun stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the vast forest, tears rolling in his eyes.
He raised his head and whistled: "Chen Shou! Father Chen! Where are you?" The voice echoed in the valley, but he received no response.
Despair surged into Zhao Yun's heart like a tide, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant.
"Is this God's will?" Zhao Yun's knees softened, he knelt on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed in pain.
A few days later, Chen's father's health finally improved under Chen Shou's careful care.
Early this morning, the sun shone on them through the gaps of the leaves. The father and son packed their simple luggage and prepared to leave this temporary shelter.
Chen's father's face was still a little pale, but his eyes were a little firmer.
He looked at the winding path ahead, frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "Shou'er, where should we go next?"
Chen Shou's face was also full of confusion, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Dad, take one step at a time, there will always be a way out." He tried hard to squeeze out a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the uneasiness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Chen's father sighed, nodded, took Chen Shou's hand, and walked forward slowly.
Their steps were a little heavy, and each step seemed to be filled with fear and helplessness about the unknown.
On this day, the sun shone on the border of Youzhou, and the princess of Anxi Kingdom finally arrived slowly.
Sun's mother looked tired and anxious, and she came to the princess' carriage with a little pleading: "We're here, can we put our old body back?"
The princess slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage, with a little arrogance on her face, glanced at her mother Sun, and said coldly: "What's the hurry? Let's talk about it after entering the city."
However, when they arrived at the gate of the city, they were stopped by soldiers. The soldiers looked serious and said loudly: "Stop! You must have a transit permit to enter the city."
When the princess heard this, her beautiful face was full of surprise, her eyes widened, and she thought in disbelief.
I have never heard of such rules and am not from Central Plains, so how can I have a certificate?
She frowned, and her eyes revealed anger and confusion.
The coachman walked to the princess's carriage with a rude look on his face and said rudely: "It's better to solve the fare problem quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"
His eyes were flashing with a greedy light, staring at the princess as if she was about to swallow her alive.
The princess's face turned red with anger, she glared and shouted loudly: "Rareless! How dare you be so rude!"
But even if the princess gets angry again, entering the city is the most urgent task now. She had to turn her head, suppress her anger, and beg the soldiers at the gate of the city: "Mr. Jun, please be compatible, let us go in." Her eyes were filled with eagerness and prayer, and her hands were tightly held in front of her.
However, the soldier looked cold and unmoved, and said firmly: "No one can enter without a transit permit! This is the rule!"
At this time, taking advantage of the princess' time to take care of him, Sun's mother seized the opportunity and ran away.
She ran and turned around, her face full of relief, and she muttered: "I can run away, and I don't care whether I can go home or not. I will never want to follow this hateful woman again!"
When the princess heard the movement, she turned around and saw the figure of Sun's mother running away, and was shocked.
But at this moment, she was full of anxiety about not being able to enter the city, so how could she have the mood to care about her mother?
The princess frowned, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.
She bit her lips tightly, leaving a shallow mark on her lips, and murmured to herself: "I finally arrived in Youzhou, how could it be like this..."
Seeing that the princess still ignored the fare, the coachman urged impatiently again: "I'm not patient anymore, pay the fare quickly!" His eyes were wide open, and the flesh on his face was shaking with anger.
The princess turned her head, looked at her angrily, and cursed: "You shameless man, how dare you force me like this!" Anger burned in her eyes, and her chest was fluctuating violently with anger.
The coachman was angry at the princess' insults, and his face turned pale in an instant. Without saying a word, he suddenly picked up the princess.
The princess screamed in horror: "Let me go! You evil thief!"
The coachman ran wildly without hesitation, and did not stop until he arrived at a cave.
He gasped, threw the princess to the ground, showed his greedy gaze again, and said viciously: "You said at that time. If you really have no money, give your body."
The corners of his mouth raised, a wretched smile appeared, and his eyes were filled with evil desires.
The princess curled up in the corner, her face pale, her body trembled constantly, her eyes full of fear and despair: "You beast, you dare!"
It turned out that the coachman's eyes were red and he began to spit out a series of dirty words: "Hehe, little beauty, I can't help you today!" He said, panting while breathing, with a disgusting smile on the corner of his mouth, approaching the princess step by step.
The princess widened her eyes in horror, tears rolling in her eyes, and her voice trembled and shouted, "Don't come over! You shameless bastard!"
The coachman ignored the princess' plea at all and stretched out his rough hand to catch the princess.
The princess struggled desperately and tried to avoid it, but she was unable to break free at all.
"Please, let me go!" The princess's voice was crying, her face full of helplessness and fear.
The coachman became more and more arrogant, and kept saying unpleasant words in his mouth, and suddenly pressed the princess on the stone wall.
After the incident, the coachman tidied up his clothes, showed an extremely proud look on his face, and laughed unrestrainedly: "Haha, I have really had the blessing of eight lifetimes, and I can actually get such a beauty."
His eyes narrowed into a slit, his mouth raised, and his ugly face made people sick.
The princess sat in the corner of the cave, with messy hair and disheveled clothes.
Her eyes were empty and unconscious, but she kept sobbing, tears slid down her cheeks and dripped to the ground.
The coachman glanced at the crying princess, without any guilt, hummed a small song and left the cave with a swagger.
After the coachman left, the princess was still immersed in pain and humiliation. Her cry echoed in the empty cave, making her look particularly desolate.
After a while, the princess gradually stopped crying.
The princess stood up with difficulty, sorted out her clothes, and walked out of the cave. The sunlight outside was a little dazzling, but her heart was filled with haze.
She bit her lip and walked step by step towards a crowded place, with deep hatred and determination at each step.
On the other side, Xi Yu and his men rode their horses and galloped on the wide road.
The sun shines on them, reflecting cheerful figures.
Xi Yu smiled heartily, turned to the people beside him and said, "Haha, this trip must be full of surprises!"
His eyes were bright, with anticipation and excitement.
Song Shuwen next to him also responded with a smile: "That's natural, it's absolutely right to follow the Prime Minister!"
A few people said and said, laughter and words drifted in the wind, their figures gradually drifted away, and continued to run towards the unknown.
That night, Xi Yu and others came to a village. As soon as they entered the entrance of the village, a strange silence came to their faces. The whole village seemed to be covered by a heavy layer of haze, and it seemed dead.
It turns out that this village is located in a remote location, with extremely inconvenient transportation, and has very few connections with the outside world.
In order to make a living, the few young people in the village left their hometowns and went out to explore, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children to watch in the village.
Without the vitality and vitality of young people, the village gradually lost its vitality.
In addition, the land in the village is barren, the crop harvest has always been poor, and the villagers live in poverty.
The difficult days year after year have made everyone's faces full of sorrow and helplessness. The dilapidated houses and barren fields are even more desolate under the dim moonlight.
Xi Yu and others rode their horses slowly forward, and the sound of horse hooves seemed particularly abrupt on the empty village road.
An old man bent over and hunched down at his doorstep, staring at the front with a dull look in front of him, without any response to their arrival.
"Why is this village so quiet?" Ouyang Linlin couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
Tuoba Yu frowned and looked around and said, "It feels like this place has been forgotten by the world."
Xi Yu's face was solemn, and an inexplicable heaviness surged in his heart: "Let's find someone to ask about the situation first."
They continued to walk deeper into the village, but with every step they took, the depressing atmosphere became stronger and stronger.
Xi Yu got off the horse and walked towards the old man sitting at the door, with confusion and concern on his face and asked softly: "Old man, why is this village so deserted?"
The old man raised his turbid eyes, looked at Xi Yu, and said slowly: "There was a fortune teller a few years ago, saying that this village was unlucky, and that people living here would suffer blood disasters. So many people moved away."
He shook his head helplessly as he said, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be getting deeper.
Xi Yu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and said, "How could such a thing happen?"
He paused and asked again, "Why don't you move out?"
The old man snorted, raised his chin stubbornly, and said, "I don't believe in this evil! I have lived in this village for a lifetime, and I have never seen any ups and downs? Moreover, I have no children and no worries, so there will be disasters!"
When he said this, his eyes revealed a sense of determination and calmness.
The old man's eyes were dim, and he said, "There are some people who stay in the village now, besides myself, who are inconvenient to move."
After hearing this, Xi Yu frowned and fell into deep thought. His eyes were full of doubts, and he always felt that something must be happening here.
Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu and asked anxiously: "Do you want to explore it?"
Xi Yu came back to his senses and nodded firmly. Then he looked at the old man and asked politely: "Old man, then do you have any empty rooms for several of us to live in?"
The old man waved his hand and said casually: "Many houses in this village are empty, just pick them casually." His face was expressionless, as if he was numb to all of this.
In this way, Xi Yu, Tuoba Yu, Ouyang Linlin and others began to look for houses in the village.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the deserted village road, placing a layer of silver on their figures.
They used flashlights and carefully shuttled between the dilapidated houses.
Every time I pass by, the closed doors and windows and mottled walls seem to tell the story of the past.
"Look here." Tuoba Yu's voice seemed particularly clear in the quiet night.
"It seems that there is a suitable one over there." Ouyang Linlin said, pointing to a house not far away.
Eventually, they found a fairly complete house.
There was an old aura in the house, and dust was flying in the moonlight.
"Just let's go, just clean up the debris on the ground." Xi Yu said, and then he started to clean up the debris on the ground.
Tuoba Yu and Ouyang Linlin also took action, and in a short while, they made a place to sleep.
Ouyang Linlin sat on a slightly clean stone, frowned slightly, and said to herself in confusion: "Why did that fortune teller say that? Is this place really unlucky, or is there any uncontrollable purpose?"
Xi Yu straightened his waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "No matter what, let's ask in the village tomorrow."
Tuoba Yu nodded with a serious look on his face: "Well, if something goes wrong, there will be a demon."
It was getting late at night, and several people fell asleep in this simple house, full of questions in their hearts.
The next morning, the sun shone hard through the dusty windows and shone into the house where they temporarily lived.
Xi Yu and others woke up with their sleepy eyes, cleaned up briefly, and then went out to explore the secrets of the village.
When they arrived at the big tree in the village, they saw a few old men sitting on stone benches, basking in the sun silently.
Xi Yu smiled and asked respectfully: "Dear uncles and ladies, we are just here for the first time. I want to ask you about the fortune teller who said the unlucky village was going to be."
The old man looked up, his eyes full of suspicion and anxiety.
A wrinkled old man ticks his puff and says slowly: "That fortune teller is coming, and he left after a while. Who knows why he said that!"
Tuoba Yu leaned forward and asked anxiously: "Uncle, did he have any strange actions when he came, or was it specifically targeted to anyone?"
The old people looked at me, and I looked at you, and shook their heads.
Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I always feel that something is strange here. Maybe someone is instructing the fortune teller behind her back."
Xi Yu touched his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "If there is this possibility, let's go somewhere else to ask."
They visited several families who still lived one after another, and there was very little useful information they could get, and a hint of frustration appeared on everyone's face.
Just as they were about to return to their residence and make plans, a middle-aged man with firewood on his back passed by them. Xi Yu quickly stopped him and said politely: "Brother, let me ask you something."
The middle-aged man put down his firewood and looked at them in confusion.
Xi Yu hurriedly explained his purpose. The middle-aged man frowned and said, "I also think that fortune teller is strange. I seem to hear people say that he has something to do with the bandit den on the mountain outside the village."
Xi Yu and others looked at each other, and their doubts became even heavier.
Xi Yu quickly clasped his fists and thanked the middle-aged man: "Thank you, brother, for telling me, don't you know more details?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said helplessly: "I just heard this by chance, and I don't know the specific ones. However, the bandit nest has always been a big problem in the vicinity. Maybe it was their idea to attack the village."
Tuoba Yu looked angry and gritted her teeth and said, "These bandits are so hateful, they actually use such despicable means!"
Ouyang Linlin narrowed her eyes slightly and analyzed: "If this is the case, then what is their purpose? Just to occupy the village?"
Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's start with this bandit's nest first. But this matter needs to be discussed for a long time and not act recklessly."
Everyone nodded and said yes, then returned to their residence and began to discuss the next plan.
When he returned to his residence, Xi Yu said with a serious expression: "This bandit nest must be difficult to deal with, so we have to find out their situation first."
Tuoba Yu clenched his fists and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, you can fight with them!"
Chapter completed!
