Бездомная собака в моих мыслях

Глава 225

Zhu Huihui's eyes lit up. She had just swallowed a rib and was about to say a few words when Feng Xuese smiled slightly, put another piece of food into her mouth, and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Miss Mu!"

There's no denying that when I heard Chen Muwan say that she couldn't save my eyes, my heart sank. Now that I know there's still a glimmer of hope, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more relaxed.

west Yeyan and Fang Jianwu also breathed a sigh of relief. According to the legends of the martial arts world, the divine doctor Madam Wan could even bring the dead back to life. Feng Xuese's eyes should be no problem, right?

Fang Jianwu pondered for a moment and said, "Xue Se, tomorrow morning, Brother Xiye will accompany you to Beikong Valley to meet Madam Wan. As for the people who have been chasing you along the way, I will handle them!"

Previously, he and Xiye Yan believed that even if there were ten or a hundred times more assassins like these, Feng Xuese's skills, experience, and the strength of Fengxue City would be enough to handle them, which was why they hadn't intervened too much. Later, news came that Feng Xuese had fallen victim to a trap and gone blind. He and Xiye Yan were filled with remorse, hating themselves for being too virtuous, which had led to their friend's death. Therefore, this time, he was determined to eliminate those assassins with all his might.

Zhu Huihui listened to the conversation for a long time, the tasks were assigned in an orderly manner, but her name was never mentioned. She felt quite disappointed. She wondered blankly: What about me?

Feng Xuese then asked, "Have you found any trace of the families of Generals Qi and Yu during this time?"

Fang Jianwu sighed and said, "Still no clues! If those killed on the riverbank were indeed family members of the two great generals, then this matter has far-reaching implications!"

Zhu Huihui was a little dumbfounded when she heard their conversation.

They actually believed that the people killed on the riverbank were family members of Generals Qi and Yu!

She had always lived a life of petty theft and idleness, but she had long admired the two generals. This was because the two generals wielded immense influence in China. At that time, the southeastern coastal regions of the country were frequently invaded by the treacherous Japanese pirates of Japan. These two generals each led their armies to conquer the coast, annihilating countless Japanese pirates who dared to invade our land. Their power and prestige were truly awe-inspiring overseas, greatly boosting the morale of the Chinese people.

Suddenly, Feng Xuese said, "Zhu Huihui!"

Zhu Huihui instinctively replied, "Yes, sir!"

Come to my side!

"Yes, hero!" Although she didn't understand why, she still walked over to the old man and stood down.

Feng Xuese gently picked up a chopstick and smiled faintly: "Come out!"

With a flick of two fingers, the chopsticks shot out with a hissing sound as they cut through the air.

At the same time, Nishino En let out a long howl and leaped out of the window.

Half of the pavilion was built in the lake. Nishino En went out through the window and intercepted a man in black.

Author's Note:

Sorry everyone, this is Nuannuan, tide's editor. I can't update today because of something, so I'm asking you to do it for me.

Ugh, I've been busy all day, and I just got home and I'm already updating.

Sorry everyone~~ Luckily I remembered when I got home, otherwise tide would have definitely given me a beating.

This man was completely covered from head to toe in a nightclothes, only revealing a pair of gleaming eyes. With so many skilled individuals in the pavilion, he dared to spy and eavesdrop, showing utter disregard for everyone!

Fang Jianwu clapped his hands lightly, causing the grass and trees to ripple and the water to surge. Countless guards emerged from the riverbank and the water's depths. They were all dressed in tight-fitting water-resistant clothing and carried sharp blades. Some of them formed a protective circle around the waterside pavilion, while others surrounded the men in black.

Nishino En sneered, "Who dares to spy on me! Stay here!" He crossed his hands and attacked.

The man in black was completely unafraid. He pulled out an iron flute from behind his shoulder and engaged Nishino En in battle.

His martial arts were unpredictable. Nishino En, who usually used a knife, was now fighting him with only his bare hands, making the fight extremely difficult.

Fang Jianwu watched for a while, then laughed loudly, "You've trespassed on my private residence! You have no respect for my Jietianshui Island! I, Fang, am here to prevent you from running wild!" After saying this, he leaped out of the window, "Come, come, let me, Fang, learn from you!"

The man in black wasn't stupid. He had a slight advantage in his fight against Nishino Yan, but when he saw that his opponent was going to fight him two against one, he immediately refused to play along. He made two feints, jumped out of the circle, and left as fast as a falling star.

Fang Jianwu and Xiye Yan did not pursue them, and returned to the waterside pavilion with cold smiles.

Feng Xuese asked, "What style of martial arts does this person use?"

Xi Yeyan said sullenly, "His martial arts are strange and unpredictable, and they also contain foreign techniques. It's hard to tell at a moment." After the man in black appeared, Feng Jueya had been protecting Chen Muwan, but he had seen the two fighting. He felt that in this era, many young heroes were emerging and should not be underestimated. He also restrained his arrogance and joined the discussion.

Feng Xuese listened to their conversation, remained silent for a moment, and then said gently, "Grey Grey!"

"Yes, sir!"

"From now on, you don't have to always refer to yourself as 'little'."

"Yes, sir!"

Feng Xue smiled and said, "From now on, you don't need to call me a hero."

"Yes, hero!" It was just a casual reply.

“Grey, I’m going to Sorrow Valley early tomorrow morning. It’s very dangerous along the way. Since your leg injury hasn’t healed, you don’t need to come with me.”

In the bright lights, his face was serene and elegant, his smile warm and friendly. However, Zhu Huihui felt a chill in her heart. Although her words were expected, they still deeply saddened her.

Very well! This time it's his turn to abandon her!

Yes, he's with his friends now, they'll naturally take good care of him. He already disliked her, and now that she's crippled, he'll despise her even more. What does she have to be angry about? She's like a rag, used and not thrown away—even the rag itself thinks it's outrageous!

She pursed her lips and stubbornly replied, "Okay!" She was no longer the eager "Yes, hero!" she used to be.

Anger, sadness, and disappointment mingled together, and she couldn't distinguish which emotion it was. In her extreme distress, she made up her mind. Fine, don't take me! I don't want to deal with you anyway! Damn it!

Feng Xuese couldn't see her expression, but he could hear the indignation in her voice. So he squeezed her hand and said gently, "From now on, don't hang out in the streets anymore. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask Brother Fang to send someone to take you to my home. My mother is a very kind person; she'll teach you to read, write, and martial arts. My father is strict, so don't be too naughty, or you might get punished!"

Zhu Huihui secretly curled her lip, thinking, "Who do your parents think they are? I don't need them to tell me what to do!" But she replied aloud, "Okay."

Feng Xue gently stroked her hair and smiled, "My parents always wanted a daughter. Although this daughter isn't very well-behaved, she's cute and smart. My parents will be very happy!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jianwu and west Yeyan were both slightly taken aback. Everyone understood that Feng Xuese meant to acknowledge Zhu Huihui as their daughter on behalf of their parents!

Given Maple Snow City's standing in the martial arts world, this wild girl has now risen to the top in one fell swoop!

The two of them looked at Zhu Huihui and found that she had no reaction at all. She obviously did not understand the meaning of Feng Xuese's words. Her bright eyes were wide open, and her black jade-like pupils were rolling around, as if she was thinking of some naughty idea.

Zhu Huihui didn't understand such roundabout language, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. He was simply thinking, "You look down on me for being illiterate, unable to read, and unable to do martial arts? Fine, I'll leave! I'm free as I am. As long as I have Huahua by my side, I can go anywhere in the world. I don't need you at all..."

"Congratulations, Young Master Feng, on gaining a new sister!" Chen Muwan rose gracefully to offer her congratulations with a slight smile. She instructed the maid in the pink dress beside her to bring a crystal-clear, lovely crimson jade bottle, which she handed over with both hands: "Miss Zhu, I, Muwan, am traveling far from home and don't have anything of value on me. This bottle of Golden Ginseng Blood Dew Pill was personally refined by my mother. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life or heal the wounded, it is of great benefit to those in the martial arts world. I hope Miss Zhu will not find it offensive!"

Zhu Huihui immediately took a liking to the crystal-clear, jade-like bottle. Without any hesitation, she reached out and took it, flipping it over to look at the bottom. Sure enough, there were three very familiar characters crawling like insects. The old man had taught her about them before. These three characters were pronounced "Bei Kong Gu" (悲空谷). If these three characters were present, it meant an ancestral secret recipe that could cure all diseases. If it didn't work, she wouldn't charge—whether the medicine worked or not was none of her concern, but she could still exchange the bottle for candy! She casually stuffed it into her bosom, too lazy to even say thank you.

Feng Xuese shook his head slightly. This unruly girl really needed to be handed over to her mother for proper discipline. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Mu! There's no time to host a banquet now, but I'll invite everyone after this matter is settled!" This was, of course, a humble remark. Since the Golden Ginseng Blood Dew Pill was made by Madam Wan herself, it must be a rare and exquisite item. An ordinary banquet could never repay such a debt of gratitude!

The adoption of a goddaughter in Fengxue City, though simple and low-key, was still a significant event. With Beikong Valley's intervention, they were presented with divine medicines and elixirs rarely found in the world, so Jietian Shuiyu and Chiyan Tian certainly couldn't lose face in terms of gifts. Fang Jianwu and Xiye Yan gave the orders, and soon after, a burly man in red and a boy in blue brought in several plates of gifts.

On the tray carried by the boy in blue was a black plaque with strange patterns, dark and unremarkable. The burly man in red held a jade-colored short dagger, extremely short, no more than three inches long, its edge gleaming like fire.

Zhu Huihui didn't know much about the items; she only felt that neither of them was as lovely as the exquisite red jade vase, but since she might as well take it, she immediately accepted it.

Feng Jueya was deeply moved. This black token was the leader's token of the Tianshui Island gang. Wherever the holder of this token went, it was as if the leader himself was present, and all the brothers in the gang would obey his orders. It was truly an extremely valuable gift. As for the short dagger, it looked unremarkable, but it was an ancient and famous blade called "Crimson Face." Legend has it that when the Southern Tang Dynasty fell and its last ruler, Li Yu, was a prisoner, he always wore this blade on his arm for self-defense.

That country bumpkin who rose to power in one step took such a valuable item without even a word of thanks—how rude! His gaze towards Zhu Huihui grew increasingly impolite.

Zhu Huihui thought to herself, "Anyway, this thing was given to Feng Xuese by them, not to me, so why bother thanking them?"

Feng Xuese could only hurriedly thank Zhu Huihui on her behalf.

Zhu Huihui finally lost her patience and stood up: "Great hero, I'm full, I'll take my leave now, please enjoy your meal!" The last eight characters were surprisingly accurate. She disliked these people; although they pretended to be kind to her, the way they looked at her always made her feel insignificant, inferior, and utterly ashamed.

Nishino En laughed, "Still calling yourself a hero? You never learn, you deserve a beating!"

Zhu Huihui glared at him. Since she had made up her mind, she was too lazy to flatter them anymore and didn't want to be polite.

Feng Xue smiled and said, "Go to sleep! Miss Mu has prepared some ointment for your leg injury, and it has already been delivered to your room. I'll have the maid apply it for you in a bit."

"I understand!" Zhu Huihui didn't reply with the signature "Yes, hero," but got up and left without looking back.

Riding in the same sedan chair they had come in, led by a maid, they turned east and west and entered a room. Although Hua Hua was still sleeping lazily by the wall, she had been moved to a different place.

This was not the simple guest room I had just stayed in, but another luxurious house, with much more expensive decorations inside.

Unbeknownst to her, because of Feng Xuese's words, her status had been elevated from a wild, street-smart girl to the young lady of Fengxue City, the head of the four great families of the martial arts world, so naturally her treatment was different.

Zhu Huihui looked around and made up her mind. After the maid left, she casually tore off a bed sheet and began to rummage through the room. She didn't know what was valuable, so she picked out the pretty things, things she liked, and things that were lightweight and easy to carry, piled them all on the bed sheet, made a big bag, and carried it on her shoulder.

Then he kicked Zhu Huahua in the butt: "Huahua, let's go!" He propped himself up with his wooden crutch under his arm, opened the door, and limped out.

Hua Hua lazily stood up, snorted twice in displeasure, and followed behind her.

Xuan Yue Water Island is a branch of Jie Tian Water Island, and its security is extremely tight. Under normal circumstances, how could a man and a pig possibly escape? They would probably be captured and beaten half to death before they could even take three steps. However, Zhu Huihui was brought into the manor by Xi Yeyan, and Fang Jianwu had just given orders to inform his subordinates that the young lady of Fengxue City was resting at the manor, instructing his men not to be negligent. Therefore, although Zhu Huihui's actions were very strange, no one dared to ask any questions.

So, what Zhu Huihui thought was sneaky and furtive was actually seen as blatant and brazen by the lookouts of Xuan Yue Shui Yu. This impregnable Xuan Yue Shui Yu was easily slipped out by a man and a pig.

Stepping out of the manor gate, Zhu Huihui chuckled. "From Yanhe Pagoda to now, I'm finally free! It wasn't easy! Take a little something from your family to calm my nerves!"

After walking a few feet out of the manor, Zhu Huihui turned back for one last look at Xuan Yue Shui Yu. Of course, she couldn't see Feng Xue Se anywhere, but she figured she was probably talking with those young masters and ladies, or preparing for her trip to Miss Ci Qi's house tomorrow! If he knew she had run away, would he be a little sad? Probably not. He hated her anyway; if she disappeared, he would only be happy, not sad!

Thinking of this, the joy of regaining her freedom and making a small fortune vanished instantly. She stared blankly for a while, then finally let out a long sigh and dragged herself away.

The world is vast, and there are many places to go, yet she doesn't know where to go.

In the vast darkness, a limping girl with an unhealed leg injury, accompanied by a plump, chubby pig, wanders aimlessly and forlornly into the distance.

Neither she nor it knew where they were going. They didn't know what awaited them ahead. All they knew was that in this world of young masters and ladies, she, all alone, had no ties to anyone, so she was content to be unattached.
