When she was tired, Chu Wu You found a shade and sat on a rock to rest.
Too many things had happened in the past few days. She felt that her mind was in a mess and needed to calm down.
"Qing Huan, are you hungry? Do you want to find something to eat?" Chu Wu You suddenly rolled up her sleeves and looked down at Qing Huan. Ever since Chi 'er was injured, she had not appeared. She must have gone to find the High Priest to heal her injuries.
Qing Huan on his wrist suddenly became restless and hissed non-stop. Hearing Chu Wu You's words, Qing Huan became even more agitated. Her snake tail shook non-stop, and her snake tongue kept flicking.
"Is it dangerous?" Before she could finish her words, Qing Huan had already shot out from Chu Wu You's wrist. Her body kept growing bigger and bigger as she bit towards her back.
Chu Wuyou turned around and saw that it was a grey wolf. It had quietly walked over earlier and seemed to want to treat Chu Wuyou as lunch. The gray wolf finally twitched twice in Qing Huan's mouth and stopped breathing.
Chu Wu You unconsciously wiped her cold sweat. If it wasn't for Qing Huan, she would have died by now. Her hearing seemed to have deteriorated recently. Although she did not know martial arts, her hearing was still pretty good.
Then Qing Huan once again turned back to her obedient appearance of less than two inches long and returned to Chu Wuyou's palm, rubbing against it as if she was waiting for praise.
" Be good…" Chu Wuyou's expression was complicated as she gently caressed Qing Huan's green body. The snake was given to her by Ming Yi, and now Qing Huan had saved her life. Did this count as her owing Ming Yi another favor?
Mingyi…what kind of person was he…
She thought that she had already understood him, but in the end, she realized that other than his name, she actually knew nothing about him. It seemed that it was time to find someone to investigate his identity.
There was a strange silence in the forest. Not even the chirping of birds could be heard. Chu Wu You looked around in surprise. There were almost all trees and nothing strange.
Perhaps he was too sensitive.
In the depths of the forest where she could not see, the cold man holding a sword was panting heavily. The sword in his hand was dripping blood, and more than ten gray wolves fell in a pool of blood.
After putting away his sword, Ming Yi's face was a little pale as he covered his left shoulder. Blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.
……
Because she was feeling uneasy, Chu Wuyou sped up her journey and headed towards the Imperial City. When it was dark, she arrived at a small county city.
If she remembered correctly, this was Qi Liao County. It was said to be famous for the marriage tree. Chu Wu You didn't think about it anymore. She quickly walked into Qi Liao County, thinking about finding an inn to rest in. However, what she didn't expect was that in the flourishing Qi Liao, there wasn't a single inn that was empty. They were all full.
Chu Wu You was a little confused,"Lady Boss, is it like this almost every day here?"”
"Miss, you must be joking." The Lady Boss looked at Chu Wu You carefully and then smiled kindly,""I'm afraid you don't know this. It's the Marriage Festival in two days. The Marriage Tree will drop many leaves. The most amazing thing is that the leaves fall in pairs. If you can pick up the same marriage leaves with a man on the Marriage Festival, it proves that you and that man have made an agreement in your previous life and will still be together in this life.”
"So that's the case. Then, Lady Boss, how many marriages have the marriage tree achieved so far?”Chu Wuyou had never heard of such a magical thing. Not to mention that she had never seen a tree that grew leaves in pairs. Moreover, using leaves to determine marriage was too mysterious.
"I'm not too sure about that. At least in our Qi Liao County, most lovers are tied by the marriage tree and spend the rest of their lives together.”The Lady Boss paused, took a sip of tea, and continued,"If Young Lady doesn't believe me, then why don't you stay and wait for two days to see if it's feasible?”
"Of course, but isn't the inn full?”Chu Wuyou's curiosity was piqued by the lady boss's words.
This Lady Boss was also a sharp-eyed character. Looking at her expression, it was obvious that she was interested in this matter. She was really like herself when she was young. Thinking of this, the Lady Boss smiled knowingly."That's fine, Young Lady can stay at home with me.”
"How can this be? I've troubled you too much!" Chu Wuyou didn't expect the lady boss to say such a thing, so she quickly declined.
"I like you, so don't reject me.”After the lady boss finished speaking, she didn't wait for Chu Wuyou to refuse. She called the manager to look after the shop and brought Chu Wuyou home.
On the way, Chu Wu You was still trying to persuade the Lady Boss. It was really unreasonable for her to disturb someone's house for no reason.
"My name is Bi Lan, you can call me Aunt Bi.”Bi Lan suddenly reached out and held Chu Wuyou's fair hand, her expression somewhat dejected: ""To tell you the truth, if nothing had happened to my daughter, she would probably be as old as you.”
"Auntie Bi, is your daughter gone?”Chu Wu You asked cautiously. She didn't expect Bi Lan, who looked like she was smiling kindly, to be in pain of losing her son.
"A few years ago, bandits ran amok here. My daughter was robbed and became the wife of a bandit chief. She committed suicide because she couldn't figure it out.”Bi Lan sighed and continued,"Those hateful mountain bandits haven't done enough harm to our Qi Liao, they actually ran all the way west."”
For a moment, Chu Wu You didn't know how to comfort Bi Lan. Although she was a doctor, she couldn't cure a heart injury, let alone comfort others. She could only silently follow Bi Lan forward, her heart also becoming heavier.
If I run away without following General Lu and the others back, and without any guards, my father will be worried…#
