Since the old doctor had something for suturing, Chu Nanzhi didn't have to worry anymore. Thinking of being a disciple, he said to Li Ce: "You can get some more angelica."
Ma Defu echoed with some worry: "Tomorrow, I will ask my nephew and the two sons to clear the way and accompany Li Langjun back to Luyan Port, otherwise it will be dangerous to encounter jackals."
"No, no, it's just a few jackals, they can't do anything to me."
Li Ce smiled arrogantly.
Chu Nanzhi is convinced of this. She remembers that Li Ce once entered Duanlong Mountain alone and killed more than ten besieging jackals with the big knife in his hand. In terms of bravery, it was not comparable to ordinary people.
Thinking about it, this was also the reason why Lin Jinxiao insisted that Li Ce come out with him.
But now that Ma Defu had spoken, she had to accept the kindness and said with a smile: "Sanlang, you'd better let them go with you. It's good to have a companion on the way."
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Without three strong men, especially his nephew Ma Laifu, he will be able to deal with it if the family has any evil thoughts again.
Otherwise, it would not be an easy task to take care of the disciples and be wary of this family.
Li Ce pursed his lips and nodded blankly:
It was his unshirkable responsibility to protect his sister-in-law, but he was really not happy with carrying two oil bottles.
But now that his sister-in-law has spoken, he can't disobey her.
At dinner, following Chu Nanzhi's instructions, Madford specially prepared a clear soup hot pot for her, which contained mushrooms and dried chilies picked from the mountains, and sprinkled with some salt and Ma Liu's exclusive sauce.
Nan Zhi finally got her wish and had the hot pot she had always dreamed of.
This group of hunters did not eat less game on weekdays, but this was the first time they ate cow offal. The crispy tripe, tender bezoar throat and chewy beef tendon won the favor of the family.
Only then did Ma Laifu realize that Chu Nanzhi had not lied to him.
Thinking about how she just defended herself in front of her uncle, I felt very moved.
It's a pity that such a smart, talented, educated and good-looking woman should marry so early. It's really a pity.
While he was eagerly picking up vegetables for Chu Nanzhi, he was constantly feeling sad in his heart. This eagerness made Chu Nanzhi feel a little panicked.
Madford saw the embarrassment on her face and explained at the side: "Although my nephew is a bit naughty, he is not a frivolous person and is quite angry. He looks down on all the ordinary women down the mountain.
Therefore, I am still unmarried and have to find a talented and learned woman to be my wife. This old man feels helpless."
After saying that, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and then continued: "If Madam Chu doesn't give up, you can treat him as your brother. He has no other advantages, but he can protect his shortcomings."
Hearing this, Ma Laifu glanced at Li Ce beside him, and couldn't help but giggled naively: "Brother Li calls Madam Chu sister-in-law, and I also want to call you sister Zhi. Is that okay?"
"of course."
Seeing the sincerity on his face, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to accept it happily.
Ma Laifu was very excited when he heard that. He patted his chest fiercely and vowed: "Sister Zhi, don't worry, this cry of sister and little brother is not in vain. From now on, as long as it is my sister's business, I will go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire without hesitation."
"Laifu's words are serious."
Chu Nan Zhicheng looked at him with fear: "Since we are siblings, we should take care of each other."
"Yes, yes, that's what Sister Zhi taught me."
Ma Laifu was as obedient as a docile little lamb, and happily ironed her belly.
After dinner, as the sky gradually darkened, the Ma brothers placed torches at the entrance to the village to ward off the intrusion of jackals.
Ma Liu led her two daughters-in-law to clean up the two huts next to the disciples for Chu Nanzhi and Li Ce to rest, and repeatedly told them not to go out at night, and then left peacefully.
Chu Nanzhi was lying on the somewhat old log, thinking that the disciple next door was just a chance encounter. It was surprising that this guy handed over all his belongings to him.
Thinking again about the situation in Nanhua Mountain that day, he and his companions killed several men in black effortlessly. With such strong skills, they were actually being chased and fled into such a situation. They did not know who the other party was.
What a powerful person.
Moreover, she had probably inspected the arrow clusters she took out today. They were unusual, finely crafted, and extremely sharp. They looked like military arrow clusters.
This guy casually gave Ma Defu two thousand taels of silver notes. Such a free and easy attitude of spending a lot of money is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Baiyu people?"
Thinking back to my previous guess about his identity, if he is really from Baiyu, he should be an enemy of the Dahe Empire.
He sneaked into the Dahe Empire without fear of life and death. What is his plan to lurk in Nanhua Temple?
This made Chu Nanzhi more and more curious, and he couldn't wait to know what kind of secrets Nanhua Temple was hiding, and it was worth taking such a risk.
The third eldest princess, Lin Luochu, asked Taoist Tan Hua to amass money, but she only kept it in the palace. This shows that she was not doing it for her own selfish desires, and I am afraid there is some secret hidden behind it.
So who are they trying to make money from, and what is the secret that Lin Luochu protects at all costs? These are the answers she wants to find.
With a lot of confusion, she slowly closed her eyes: now she could only hope to see if she could find out something from him.
The deep mountains and wild forests were no better than the Chu family. Although she was very sleepy after the day of running, she did not dare to sleep deeply. She was awakened by the "squeaking" sound of burning torches outside the house several times during the night. She tossed and turned until dawn, listening to
She got up and went out when there was movement outside, and saw that Li Ce and the Ma brothers had packed their bags.
"Sister-in-law, please stay in the mountains and try not to move around. Everything is waiting for me to come back."
Li Ce came over and spoke first.
He didn't worry about anything else. He expected that his sister-in-law wouldn't be in a hurry when he went to Haikang County, but the disciple in the house suffered such a serious arrow injury. He just pulled out the arrow cluster yesterday and was very active. I'm afraid such a strong physique is not
Within the reach of ordinary people.
Moreover, he saw that the guy was quite handsome, as good as his brother, and he was also worried that this scoundrel would abduct his sister-in-law while he was away.
He had to go back quickly and tell his brother what happened here.
Ma Laifu, carrying a homemade bow and arrow on his back and a spear in his hand, also came over with a smile and said: "Sister Zhi, just stay in the mountains without worries. We will escort Brother Li to get everything."
"Okay, you go and come back quickly."
Chu Nanzhi warned them, and after saying goodbye to each other, they saw several people leaving in a hurry.
The strong smell of ginseng soup began to emanate from the hut. The family received two thousand taels of silver from Deng Tuzi yesterday, but they were very attentive and cooked the ginseng soup so early.
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and smiled. She felt relieved and went to the kitchen to ask for some clear springs from the mountains to wash herself with. After that, a slight coughing sound came from the room.
