It was a dilapidated thatched house, and the wooden door creaked in the wind.
Xiao Ke led Shen Yanxiao and Suzaku in. The dark room could only be illuminated by a little sunlight coming from the door and windows.
"Uncle Nine! Uncle Nine!" Xiao Ke called.
A rickety old man walked out slowly, leaning on a cane. His wrinkled face showed signs of weathering, and his narrowed eyes looked very old.
"You brat, what are you talking about? My old man's ears haven't learned yet." Uncle Jiu scolded Xiao Ke, and his cloudy eyes looked at Shen Yanxiao and Suzaku who were standing next to Xiao Ke.
"Hey, Uncle Jiu, don't I have something urgent to come to see you for?" Xiao Ke scratched his head honestly.
"Who are these two children?" Uncle Jiu asked.
Xiao Ke immediately said: "Uncle Jiu, these two children are so pitiful. They went out to do business with their family, but they met bandits on the way and dispersed them. The two of them walked to our village in a daze. Uncle Jiu You have to help these two children."
On the way here, Shen Yanxiao found a decent reason for the appearance of himself and Suzaku. Xiao Ke was convinced and told this to Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu looked at the two frail children in front of him, was silent for a moment, and sighed quietly.
"Poor kids, you two find a place to sit down first, and I'll prepare some food for you. It's getting late now, and there's no other place to stay nearby except our village. I'll see you later. See if your relatives will come over. If not, I will find a way to send you back tomorrow."
Shen Yanxiao was a little surprised by Uncle Jiu's words. Xiao Ke kept talking about Uncle Jiu along the way. He was not only the village chief, but also the only doctor in this village. Shen Yanxiao thought that the other party would be somewhat shrewd. , but now it seems that he is really as simple as the villagers in this village.
Without asking any further questions, the old man believed what Xiao Ke said about their origins, and he had no intention of asking further questions.
If he hadn't known that the Kulang mercenary group had failed in this village, it would have been difficult for Shen Yanxiao to associate the people in this village with danger.
"Hey, I just asked Lao Ba and the others to get food for these two children. Uncle Jiu, look at how skinny these two little guys are. They must have suffered a lot along the way." Xiao Ke said with concern.
"It's naturally not easy to encounter these things at such a young age." Uncle Jiu responded.
Xiao Ke smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, since you're here already, why don't you help me see how the wound on my back is healing. I've been feeling itchy for the past two days."
Uncle Jiu nodded.
Xiao Ke took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body.
On the maroon back, a large hideous wound appeared in Shen Yanxiao's sight.
The wound was huge, covering almost Xiaoke's entire back. Although it had scabbed over, it was still shocking.
Uncle Jiu checked Xiao Ke once and for all, and said to Shen Yanxiao who was standing aside: "Are you scared? Xiao Ke accidentally fell down some time ago and the skin on his back was rubbed off. If you feel scared, , you can sit here for a while first. Xiaoke, come with me, and I will give you some medicine. You should be fine after a while."
With that said, Uncle Jiu took Xiao Ke to the room on the other side.
