Chapter 693 Seriously Injured Girl
Liu put her ear close to the boy and listened carefully to his weak voice.
He murmured in a low voice, "Duke's Mansion, Xiao?"
He frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Zhang, "I have pots and bowls here, let's get some food first."
He exhaled deeply, "After we have eaten and drunk enough, we must leave the mountain quickly."
"Leave?"
Zhang was a little entangled, "Our boss,"
"Humph," Liu smiled helplessly, "We don't even know if we can make it to the city alive, and you're still worried about Tu Lao San?"
Zhang smiled bitterly, "In this world, if a woman doesn't have a man by her side..."
There were so many things she didn't want to say, the world nowadays did not allow a woman to live alone.
Liu sighed slightly and took off her outer clothes and put them on the ground.
He put Xiao Yu on his clothes and reached out to touch his forehead.
The child's forehead was still hot, but not as hot as it was last night.
Looking outside the cave, it was already bright.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhang, you stay here and look after the kid. I'll go out and collect some firewood so we can eat something first."
Zhang was so tired that her legs were weak. She was also a little hungry after a night of shock. "Second sister-in-law, I will go with you."
This cave is so scary.
Liu looked at her helplessly and said, "I'm nearby."
Zhang lowered her head in embarrassment, "Okay."
After Liu left the cave, she picked up firewood nearby and looked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
Although it was already bright outside, one could still see flames all over the village.
She had a bad feeling that the group of horse thieves seemed to have really besieged the entire village.
But who would do that?
The Xiaojia Manor where she lived was the manor of the Duke of Zhenguo.
On weekdays, when the head of the village goes out to do business, the businessmen and shop owners are all very polite to him.
Not just polite, but even a little flattering.
But someone happened to attack the Duke's Mansion's farm in the middle of the night. Who could be sure that the Duke's Mansion had offended?
Or, what is anyone looking for in Zhuangzi?
An idea popped into Liu's mind, and she looked towards the cave in shock.
If there is something in the manor that attracts the Duke's Mansion's rivals to covet, isn't it the disaster star?
Liu's hands were shaking a little, and she felt that she had really gotten herself into big trouble.
Can……
Regret?
Well, there's nothing to regret.
Liu sighed deeply, thinking of the time when horse bandits attacked the village.
Her parents, brother, sister, herself and her younger brother wielded swords to kill the horse bandits.
Of the twenty or so bandits in the group, only two or three escaped after being killed by her family.
Just when the family was rejoicing for having saved half of the village, they were driven out by the villagers.
It was because the corpse of the local county magistrate's son was found among the bandits in the village...
Because of this incident, the Liu family later hid themselves under different names.
Her mother and father passed away on the way, and she and her brothers and sisters finally took refuge in the capital.
As time went by, she rarely saw her brothers and sisters even though they lived not far from each other.
Thinking of the past, Liu sighed again.
When he was about to return to the cave with the dry firewood in his arms, he heard a rustling sound nearby. It was not prey.
Liu threw down the dry firewood and placed his hand on the handle of the dagger at his waist.
"who?"
The rustling sound gradually approached, and Liu became extremely alert and vigilant about her surroundings.
歘!
A blood-stained figure suddenly emerged from the bushes, and Liu took a step back abruptly.
"Oh, help me, help me, help me,"
The thin girl's voice made Liu frown tightly, "Who are you?"
The girl tried several times to get up from the ground.
I got up and fell down again, and after repeating this several times, I finally gave up.
She prostrated herself on the ground, "Auntie, please save me. I was chased by my enemies last night."
Liu took a few steps closer to the girl and stared at her cheek cautiously.
Just one glance and Liu was so scared that she took two steps back.
There were several shocking scratches on the girl's face, and blood was still oozing out.
The child looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, and his clothes were thin and messy.
Those eyes were full of fear, "Auntie, I, I'm not a bad person, save me."
The girl's voice was so weak that it made people feel distressed.
Liu pulled out the dagger from his waist, ignored the girl and walked in the direction she came from.
Along the way, you can see a lot of broken branches and bloodstains on the ground.
In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting wild animals, Liu opened his purse, sprinkled medicine powder near the bloodstain and then buried it.
This is her family's secret recipe, which can not only cover up bloodstains but also cover up the smell of blood.
Following the blood trail, they saw many signs of fighting in a small woods. The scratches on the trees caused by swords and knives made Liu feel uneasy.
What if Xiaojiazhuang was not being pursued by the enemies of the Duke's Mansion, but was just suffering an unprovoked disaster?
While dealing with the bloodstains, Liu was thinking about what to do next.
When all the bloodstains were cleaned up, Liu finally made up her mind.
No matter what, she had to go to the Duke's Mansion.
She understands the principle of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and she believes that ordinary people without any background can only be manipulated by others.
What's more, she and Zhang are both women.
Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. After checking that all the bloodstains had been cleaned up, Liu quickly returned.
When I came to the place where I had collected firewood, I saw the girl still lying on the ground.
The girl's white dress was stained with blood, and the wounds on her face were so horrifying that even Liu felt a little sorry for her.
He sighed softly, took out the hemostatic powder and applied it carefully to the girl.
He put the person aside, cleaned up the bloodstains, then picked up the girl and walked towards the cave.
In the cave, Zhang leaned against the stone wall with her hands on her knees.
After a night of intense escape, she was already exhausted. She buried her head between her knees and fell asleep unknowingly.
It was not until I felt a burst of heat that I slowly woke up.
I opened my eyes in confusion and saw a familiar large figure busying about.
After a pause, he asked, "Second, Second Sister-in-law?"
Zhang was completely awake and ran to Liu in a hurry, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I, I don't know how I fell asleep."
"It's okay," Liu said in a gentle and tolerant voice, "Do you have any spare clothes?"
"Yes," Zhang didn't understand, but she couldn't care about anything else now, "Second sister-in-law, these clothes are mine to change into."
"Well," Liu stirred the porridge in the pottery pot with a wooden stick, "change it for the child."
Zhang didn't understand what was going on, so she looked in the direction Liu was pointing.
Then I saw a child of about twelve or thirteen years old lying beside the campfire.
The child was covered with several layers of straw, and his face was covered in blood, which looked very creepy.
"this,"
Liu urged, "Go ahead."
"Oh yes."
Zhang suppressed her doubts and approached the child.
When they removed the straw covering the child, they found that it was actually a girl.
He couldn't help but look at the wound on the girl's face again and sighed deeply.
Alas, what will happen to this child in the future?
While Zhang was sighing, Xiao Cheng was staring at the three injured young men in black with complicated eyes.
"Master," the subordinate reported, "their wounds have been treated."
Xiao Cheng nodded, "What do you mean?"
"They said they chased the fox mask into the mountains, but were ambushed by the kid and injured."
"I dare not pursue you any further, so I will come back and report the situation."
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips helplessly, "That fox is quite skilled."
His brows furrowed, and he thought for a moment, "Go get a few black dogs to search the mountain."
"Yes."
"Leave a few people to handle the affairs of the manor," Xiao Cheng looked at the three unconscious boys again, "these three children will stay here to recover."
"Yes."
"Also," Xiao Cheng thought for a moment, "Search the mountain in secret, don't make it public."
"Yes."
