We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Tuobayu drank the medicine obediently, closed his eyes and rested.

Xi Yu sat aside and watched her quietly, silently praying in his heart for her speedy recovery.

Tuobayu's breathing gradually stabilized, Xi Yu looked at her peaceful sleeping face, her thoughts drifting away.

Recalling every moment since they met, those laughter and tears, it seems like just yesterday.

After an unknown amount of time, Tuobayu slightly moved his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing that Xi Yu was still by her side, a warm current surged in her heart.

"Have you been here all this time?" Tuobayu's voice was still a little weak.

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, "As long as you get better, I don't care what happens."

Tuobayu's eyes were slightly red.

"With you here, I will definitely get better."

There is Chenjia Village nearby, where Chen Shou lives.

On this day, Chen Shou went to chop wood. After returning home, I saw several men with vicious looks at home.

They insulted their father and asked him to pay back the money quickly. Chen Shou's father, Chen Shou, looked sad and said with trembling hands: "Masters, please give me a few more days. I really can't raise so much money."

The man with a sinister face at the head stared and yelled viciously: "Grace? Huh, I've given you enough time! If you don't make it today, don't blame us for being rude!"

When Chen Shou saw this, he became angry, threw the firewood on the ground, strode into the house, and shouted: "What are you doing? Let's talk to you if you have something to say!"

One of the thin men tilted his mouth, glanced sideways at Chen Shou, and said mockingly: "Hey, this kid is quite smart. Your family owes money, is it still reasonable?"

Chen Shou clenched his fists, looked directly at them firmly, and said, "We will definitely pay back the money we owe, but please don't bully others like this!"

The man with a sinister face stepped forward, pointed at Chen Shou's nose, and shouted: "You bastard, stop showing off here! If you don't pay back the money, you will look good on me!"

Chen Shou did not flinch, gritted his teeth and said: "We will find a way to make money, but if you continue to be so rude, I will never give up!"

At this time, Father Chen pulled the corner of Chen Shou's clothes, his eyes full of helplessness and guilt: "Shou'er, don't be impulsive, it's dad who is sorry for you."

Chen Shou looked at his father's sad face and felt sad in his heart, but he still looked at the men firmly and said, "Give us some time and we will pay back the money!"

The men looked at each other, and the leader snorted: "Okay, I'll give you three more days. If you still can't make it by then, it won't be that simple!" After that, he took the others with him. People walked away.

Chen Shou looked at their departing figures and secretly vowed to raise money as soon as possible so that his family could live a stable life.

After a while, Chen Shou started crying. Say they are all scoundrels.

Father Chen sighed. I remembered what happened back then.

Chen Shou wiped his tears and said with a choked voice, "Dad, it's too much for them to bully people like this!" His face was full of anger and grievance, and his brows were furrowed.

Father Chen sighed heavily, with regret and helplessness in his eyes, and said slowly: "Shou'er, it's all my fault. If I hadn't treated you, I wouldn't have owed this debt." His eyes were dim. , his hands were shaking unconsciously.

Chen Shou looked at his father and said firmly: "Dad, it's not your fault. You did it to save me."

After a while, Chen Shou started crying and said, "They are all scoundrels!"

Father Chen sighed, his eyes became distant, and he fell into memories.

When Chen Shou was seriously ill, Chen's father had no money to find a doctor and was very anxious.

So I went to those scoundrels to borrow money. At that time, the scoundrels issued an IOU and asked Chen's father to press his fingerprint before he could borrow money, otherwise he would not lend it.

Chen's father was illiterate and had no idea that the amount on it had been changed, so he pressed his fingerprints in confusion.

Father Chen couldn't help but burst into tears as he thought about it, full of regret.

Chen Shou looked at his father's sad look, and the anger in his heart became stronger.

He secretly vowed to make these scoundrels get the punishment they deserve.

Xi Yu still stayed by Tuobayu's side. That night, Tuobayu finally felt better.

Tuobayu's face was still a little pale. She raised her head slightly, her eyes full of guilt, and said softly: "It's all my fault for delaying your business."

Xi Yu quickly held her hand, frowned slightly, and said with pity, "How can you say that? You can get better soon, which is more important than anything else."

Tuobayu bit his lip, with uneasiness in his eyes: "But, this way."

Xi Yu interrupted her and comforted her with a smile: "Besides, the specific destination is close, within a few days. Don't think too much and rest in peace."

Tuobayu looked at Xi Yu's firm eyes and felt warm in her heart. She nodded lightly: "Well, thank you."

Xi Yu reached out and smoothed the hair on her forehead, and said softly: "How can you thank me?"

A blush appeared on Tuobayu's face. She lowered her eyes and whispered: "When I get better, I will never cause you any more trouble."

Xi Yu shook his head gently, his eyes full of affection: "You have never been a trouble, and I am willing to take care of you."

Tuobayu raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and said movedly: "It is the greatest luck in my life to meet you."

The corners of Xi Yu's lips raised, revealing a warm smile: "Me too, I believe we will all be fine in the future."

At this time, the moonlight from the window spilled in, reflecting the hopeful faces of the two people.

After a while, Tuoba Yu's eyelids began to fight, and she looked a little sleepy.

Xiyu whispered: "Go to sleep, have a good rest, tomorrow will be better."

Tuoba Yu closed her eyes obediently and soon fell asleep.

Xiyu looked at her quiet sleeping face, sighed softly, and prayed silently in his heart that she would recover completely as soon as possible.

The next morning, Tuoba Yu was completely well.

The sun shone on her face through the window, reflecting her rosy complexion.

Xiyu walked into the room lightly and saw that Tuoba Yu had sat up, his eyes full of joy: "It's great to see you so energetic."

Tuoba Yu smiled and responded: "Thanks to you."

Xiyu walked up to her, with expectation in his eyes: "The scenery outside is just right, I hope to take you out for a walk and have a good time."

Tuoba Yu agreed without hesitation, with excitement in his eyes: "That couldn't be better."

The two packed up and walked out of the door.

The breeze outside was blowing, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Xiyu carefully tidied up Tuoba Yu's messy hair. Tuoba Yu raised her head slightly, with a happy smile on her face.

They strolled on the country road, the wild flowers on the roadside were colorful, and butterflies danced among the flowers.

Tuoba Yu chased the butterflies curiously like a child, and Xiyu watched her quietly on the side, his eyes full of doting.

Walking to a stream, Tuoba Yu squatted down and gently stirred the stream with his hands. Xiyu also squatted down, and the figures of the two intertwined in the water.

"It's so beautiful here." Tuoba Yu exclaimed.

After playing for a while, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu rode horses to Chenjia Village.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Xiyu asked several people about Chen Shou's home.

An old man leaned on a cane, squinted his eyes and looked at them, and said slowly: "Chen Shou's home? Go along this main road and you will see a big willow tree. The house next to it is it."

Xi Yu bowed and thanked: "Thank you, old man."

A young village woman next to him interrupted: "Why are you looking for Chen Shou? His family has been in trouble recently." There was a bit of curiosity and worry in her eyes.

Tuoba Yu smiled and explained: "We are old acquaintances of Chen Shou. We heard about his recent situation and came to visit him."

The village woman nodded: "Oh, so, then you go quickly."

After Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu thanked again, they rode along the main road. Soon, they saw the big willow tree and a family under the willow shade. It must be Chen Shou's residence.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu dismounted and came to the door of Chen Shou's house. After knocking on the door, it was Chen's father who came out to answer the door.

Father Chen looked at them with a puzzled look and asked, "Who are you?"

Xi Yu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Old man, we heard that Chen Shou was here, so we came to visit."

Father Chen's face flashed with a trace of disappointment, and he sighed and said, "He's not at home."

Tuoba Yu asked with concern, "Where is Brother Chen Shou?"

Father Chen said with a worried look on his face, "Alas, it's because of the debts owed by the family, and he went out to find a way to raise money."

Xi Yu frowned and asked, "Debts? What's going on?"

Father Chen shook his head helplessly and told them the whole story. After that, he sighed heavily again.

Tuoba Yu said angrily: "These scoundrels are too much!"

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Old man, don't worry too much, we will find a way to help Brother Chen Shou."

Father Chen looked at them gratefully, tears welling up in his eyes: "Thank you so much."

Just then, there was a noise outside the door

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu looked at each other, and a bad premonition came to their hearts.

Father Chen's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid those scoundrels are here to make trouble again."

Xi Yu comforted: "Don't be afraid, old man, let's go out and take a look."

The two walked out of the door and saw several ferocious men standing in the yard shouting loudly.

The leading scoundrel glared at them and said arrogantly: "Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business!"

Xi Yu showed no fear and said loudly: "In broad daylight, you are forcing us like this. Aren't you afraid of the law?"

The scoundrel snorted coldly: "The law? In Chenjia Village, I am the law!"

Tuoba Yu shouted angrily: "You are simply lawless!"

The scoundrels were stunned by Tuoba Yu's momentum for a moment, but soon became arrogant again.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Chen Shou hurried back home.

When he saw the scene in front of him, his face darkened.

Chen Shou said to the rogues: "I will pay the money back as soon as possible, please don't harass my family again!"

The leading rogue sneered: "If you can't pay it back today, don't blame us for being rude!"

Chen Shou looked at Xi Yu with a puzzled look and asked: "Brother, who are you?"

Xi Yu smiled and bowed, saying: "Brother Chen, I came to visit you specially."

Chen Shou looked surprised, his eyes full of confusion.

Then, Chen Shou turned his head and glared at the rogues, saying loudly: "I said that the time has been extended. Today is not the day to collect debts. Go away!"

His brows were furrowed, and his face turned red with anger.

Several rogues sneered, and the leading rogue twisted his mouth and said in a yin and yang tone: "Humph, Chen Shou, don't think you can drag it out, let's wait and see!"

After that, several people left in a swagger, turning back and casting threatening eyes as they walked.

Chen Shou looked at the leaving figures of the gangsters, clenching his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly with anger.

Xi Yu stepped forward and said comfortingly: "Brother Chen, don't get angry. Let's discuss it in the long term."

Chen Shou took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Brother, I'm laughing at this. This debt thing really makes me worried."

Father Chen asked Chen Shou anxiously: "Shou'er, what is going on? How could it be like this?"

Chen Shou looked helpless and said dejectedly: "Dad, I borrowed money from many relatives, but no one would lend it to me." His eyes were full of disappointment and frustration.

After hearing this, Father Chen sighed heavily, frowned, and his face became more and more sad: "Oh, what should I do?"

Chen Shou gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, don't worry too much. I'll think of other ways."

Father Chen shook his head and sighed: "Son, it's all my fault for being useless and dragging you down."

Chen Shou hurriedly said: "Dad, please don't say that, I will definitely solve this problem."

Father Chen added: "The guests are here, so let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to boil water now."

With that said, Father Chen turned around tremblingly and prepared to go to the kitchen.

Chen Shou quickly said: "Dad, you are not in good health, so I should go."

Father Chen waved his hand: "You accompany the guests, I can do that." After saying that, he insisted on walking to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, I'm here to help you." He followed after him.

Tuobayu also stood up and said, "I'll help you too."

Chen Shou looked at them, his eyes full of gratitude: "How embarrassing, I really trouble you all."

Everyone came to the kitchen, and for a while, the small kitchen was filled with warm smoke and smoke.

After a while, Chen Shou asked Xi Yu: "Brother, I see you have extraordinary bearing. Who are you?"

Xi Yu smiled and replied: "Brother Chen, to be honest, I have long heard that you are very knowledgeable."

Chen Shou was even more surprised. His eyes widened and he asked, "How did you know about this?"

Xi Yu said slowly: "I once overheard other people praising you elsewhere, saying that you have a good understanding of people."

Chen Shou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's all in the past, but these years I have stopped learning, and I just help farm and chop firewood at home." There was a hint of loneliness and helplessness in his eyes.

Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou seriously and said, "Brother Chen, I think you are definitely not a creature in the pool. This situation must be temporary."

Chen Shou sighed: "I hope it will be as my brother said."

Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou solemnly and said, "Brother Chen, just now Father Chen said that he was tricked by some scoundrels when he borrowed money. I wonder if this is true?"

Chen Shou's face instantly turned gloomy, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "It's true! Those scoundrels are really hateful and deceived my father."

His eyes were burning with anger, and the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging.

Xi Yu frowned and said angrily: "It's really outrageous that these scoundrels can be so treacherous!"

Chen Shou took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said helplessly: "It's only because my father is illiterate that he fell into their trap." His eyes were full of regret and self-blame.

Father Chen boiled the water and enthusiastically called Xi Yu and Tuobayu to drink water: "You two, drink some water quickly to quench your thirst."

Then, Chen's father pulled Chen Shou and said, "Shou'er, follow me to the gate to do something."

Chen Shou left with Chen's father and came to the gate.

Father Chen looked worried and asked in a low voice: "Shou'er, who are they and what are their goals?"

Chen Shou looked confused, shook his head and said, "Dad, I really don't know him."

Father Chen frowned and said worriedly: "Then why did they suddenly come to the door and said they wanted to help? Do they have other intentions?"

Chen Shou comforted him and said, "Dad, they don't look like bad people. Maybe they really have good intentions."

Father Chen sighed: "I hope so, we have to be more careful."

Father Chen boiled the water.

At this time, Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu in the room were looking around curiously.

Father Chen and Chen Shou returned to the house. Father Chen forced a smile on his face and said, "I kept you two waiting."

Xi Yu quickly said: "It's okay, uncle."

Chen Shou was silent on the side, still thinking about his father's worries.

On the other side, Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and led the people to move forward hard on the muddy road.

Big raindrops came down with a crackling sound, making people's faces hurt.

"This damn rain!" Guan Yu frowned, his eyes widened with anger, and the beard on his face seemed to stand up in anger.

The soldiers around him were also soaked in the rain and looked like drowned rats.

"General, the rain is too heavy, let's find a place to take shelter first!" said a young general.

Guan Yu gritted his teeth and shouted: "No! We must get to Fangjun as soon as possible, we can't delay here!"

However, the rain became heavier and heavier, making it difficult for everyone to move.

In desperation, everyone had to hide in a cave.

Guan Yu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the heavy rain outside. He waved the knife in his hand angrily and cursed loudly: "God, why do you want to stop me like this! I, Guan Yu, must arrive at Fangjun as soon as possible to complete my mission!"

The soldiers all stood aside silently, not daring to say a word.

After a while, a general came over cautiously and said: "Provincial Governor, don't get angry, the rain will stop eventually."

Guan Yu glared at him, snorted, and said, "When the rain stops, we will set off immediately. We can't delay any longer!"

The rain kept falling, and Guan Yu paced back and forth in the cave, anxious.

"How long will this rain last!" Guan Yu crossed his arms and looked anxious.

A soldier whispered, "Governor, there is nothing we can do about it. Maybe God is testing us."

Guan Yu turned around suddenly and shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! What test from God? It's obviously a deliberate harassment!" (End of this chapter)
