Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 40 Seeing the old friend again
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect the patient to know her.

The other party was much more embarrassed than the last time we met, unkempt and unshaven.Lin Xiaoxiao almost didn't recognize it, and only reacted when she saw the sword on the other side's bedside.

This person is actually the swordsman Shen Wu who is next to Gui Chao, the eldest son of Hu State.

Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and even wanted to run away immediately, but fortunately she regained consciousness immediately.

Hu Guo is gone, everyone is now a refugee, Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't have to be afraid at all.

There were several wounds on Shen Wu's body, the most serious one was on his back. The wound was only smeared with ordinary Jinchuang medicine to stop the bleeding, and the cloth strips tied were still oozing blood.

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately asked Axiu to boil hot water, and Achai helped her wipe Shen Wu's body and clean the wound.

Shen Wu was in a coma and had a fever.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out the disinfectant alcohol in the warehouse.These medical disinfectant alcohols are used less and less, Lin Xiaoxiao is usually reluctant to use them.

The Yunnan Baiyao just won in the lottery is also cheaper for Shen Wu.

Shen Wu is the most severely injured patient Lin Xiaoxiao has seen so far, and this time he used up a lot of reserves in the warehouse.

Including the last bit of anti-inflammatory drugs, Shen Wu was also given orally.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the things she had saved for so long would be cheaper than someone she didn't know very well.

But no matter what, it was a human life, and it was impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to watch him die.

After some tossing, it was past midnight.

Shen Wu was still awake, leaving A Chai to watch over him.

"The room next door has been tidied up, Shan Nu can go and rest for a while." Axiu said.

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "I'm not tired, where's your father?"

"My father is in the hall."

"I'm going to talk to him."

Lin Xiaoxiao came to the main room of Axiu's house.

Ah Xiu's father was holding a bowl of ginger soup and was gurgling down, when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao quickly put down the bowl and got up.

"Please trouble Shannv to run overnight."

Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand to signal him to sit down and said, "Old man, do you know the wounded swordsman?"

"I don't know each other, but I am here."

A few days ago, Axiu's father collected a bunch of mountain goods and rode a donkey to other places to sell them.In order to get a good price, he went a little further this time.

"I thought it would be closer to the capital, and the price would be higher, but I never thought that I would meet bandits on the road."

In order to save money, Axiu's father was naturally reluctant to go to the city, so he found a place to rest outside the city every day.

There are many refugees like Axiu's father who sell goods everywhere. They can't do business as big as a merchant. Most of them are sold by one or two people to other savage villages to sell some special mountain products, and the trading method is mainly barter.

As more people came and went, some simple wooden houses or fences gradually appeared on the side of the road, which were places for refugees to rest temporarily.

Axiu's father found a dilapidated wooden house.

There is nothing in the wooden house, but it can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Axiu's father lit firewood in the wooden house.

People who rushed like him came to the wooden house one after another.We are both passers-by, and we get along fairly well.

Shen Wu is one of them.It's just that he is relatively withdrawn, and he never leaves his sword, so no one dares to talk to him.

In the middle of the night, the situation changed suddenly, and a group of robbers broke into the wooden house.

There were seven or eight bandits, all of whom had swords in their hands, and would kill anyone they saw.Before the people in the wooden house had time to react, many people were killed on the spot.

Axiu's father slept inside, and his vigilance was relatively high, so he was not injured.He carried a long knife with him and took it out of his pack to resist.

But the opportunity was lost, there were too many bandits, and most of the passers-by were killed or injured in the blink of an eye.

There is no retreat, no escape.

Axiu's father could only fight his way out.His luck was really good, so he didn't get hit by a knife.

In the end, the gang of thieves were all killed.

But the passers-by were almost dead, only Ah Xiu's father and Shen Wu were left.

Axiu's father knew how much he was, so he stabbed one or two to death. Most of the other thieves were killed by Shen Wu.

It's just that Shen Wu was also seriously injured, and passed out after killing all the thieves.

Axiu's father is a good man, thinking that his life was saved by the other party, so he took him all the way to Yangshou Mountain.

"So the old man doesn't know this person?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"When I was warming up in the wooden house, I said something, but I was ignored." At that time, Axiu's father tried to talk to the other party and said, "Have you eaten?", but Shen Wu closed his eyes and ignored him.

"The old man is a righteous man."

"My generation should be like this. If the other party hadn't been so brave, I would have died in that wooden house."

Lin Xiaoxiao followed up and asked, "Did you confirm that the thieves were all dead when you left?" She was a little worried that the thieves would follow the trail to find the door.

Axiu's father said viciously: "I have stabbed everyone in the heart twice, I think there is no way I will be alive."

To deal with thieves, we must "eliminate the evil and do everything, leaving no future troubles".

Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated and said: "It's a coincidence that I know the person you brought back. Our village is all escaped from the old Hu, and that person is Shen Wu, the disciple of the old Hu Shizi who returned to the court."

Axiu's father: "?"

Lin Xiaoxiao continued to explain: "Back when Zheng Guo captured the old capital city of Hu, the prince returned to the court and led the retainers to escape. After that, no one seemed to know where they fled. This swordsman Shen Wu was one of the retainers who fled with the return to the court. "

Ah Xiu's father: "This?!"

"Can the old man confirm that there was only Shen Wu at that time?"

Father Axiu thought for a while and said: "He should be the only one. The thief came in the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, and the swordsman didn't look like he was waiting for someone."

"Is there anything wrong with those thieves?"

"Shan Nu suspects that they are not ordinary bandits?"

"I'm just a little worried. However, the old Hu's incident has passed, and I haven't heard of the old Hu Shizi doing anything. Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Axiu's father's face slowly turned pale: "The burglar's appearance was very unexpected, no one noticed the movement beforehand, it was extremely inappropriate.

"Although we live outside the city, the savages in Hua Country have no shortage of food and clothing these past few years. Although it's not that they don't pick up things on the road, they haven't heard of bandits for a long time.

"Besides, even if there are black-hearted thieves, they are near the capital, and if the news spreads to the nobles in the city, they will definitely send troops to suppress the bandits.

"Also, they kill people when they see them. It seems that their purpose is not to rob property"

Reminded by Lin Xiaoxiao, the more Axiu's father thought about it, the more he felt that what happened that night was not simple.

Axiu's father sweated profusely: "What should I do?"

"How many people still know about the old man bringing someone back?"

"Only my own family." It was still snowing when Axiu's father came back, and everyone in the village was at home, so no one saw him bring outsiders back.

"Good over there, let's keep it a secret for now. If the old man is uneasy, it's better to send him away early."

Axiu's father pondered for a while and said: "You must not be ungrateful for saving your life. He was injured so badly, letting him go is no different from letting him die."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little admired.

She can't persuade her about this kind of thing anymore. If she talks too much, it means that her character has a problem.
