Chapter 219
Le Zheng Shui Ling was finally able to change into a set of clean clothes, which was a coat made of animal fur. She really couldn't get used to it, so she could only pray that her clothes would dry quickly.
Le Zheng Qiming was also treated. When he woke up, he saw a wild girl in a daze, and his heart was actually stirred. When she turned around and found that it was Le Zheng Shuiling, Le Zheng Qiming immediately showed a look of disgust.
"What's your expression?"
Le Zheng Qiming felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her, but looked around.
Thick carpets, simple furniture, a house type I had never seen before, and a strange smell in the air.
Le Zheng Qiming stood up, trying to find the source of the smell, then sniffed at Le Zheng Shuiling and showed a look of disgust.
"What are you wearing?"
"I……"
"Miss Shui Ling, I'm coming in."
A burly man walked in. He had bronze skin that looked a little rough and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
There was an innate majesty and dominance between his brows, as if he was the wolf king on the grassland, looking down on the crowd.
Seeing that Le Zheng Qiming had woken up, his smile was as warm and bright as the sun. He said in a deep and rich voice: "You're awake. I'm glad you're okay."
Le Zheng Qiming felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment. He winked at Le Zheng Shuiling, and the other party noticed and introduced himself to him.
"My name is Wu Shaojie. We met at the Mu Mansion not long ago."
"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Wu really has a good memory."
Le Zheng Qiming felt a little embarrassed. After all, as one of the people who successfully got out of the tower and attracted everyone's attention, it was normal for him to be remembered, especially since he was so distinctive. However, he was recognized first.
"I'm sure Young Master Qi Ming is also hungry. I don't know if it suits your appetite, so I prepared some of our specialties. Please enjoy them."
Seeing that Le Zheng Shui Ling was not polite at all, he thought that maybe he didn't recognize him, or maybe Le Zheng Shui Ling told him, and the embarrassment was instantly swept away.
Le Zheng Qiming had been growling with hunger for a long time, so he sat down without any hesitation. The wound on his shoulder was pulled, and Le Zheng Qiming let out a sigh.
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry. We attacked you without knowing the truth. It's our fault."
Xiliang is not like Jimen Pass or Nanhai Pavilion, one mainly resists the demons and the other mainly resists the monsters. They mainly guard the ancient demon domain and fight against some scattered demons and monsters, and live a nomadic life.
Faced with numerous unexpected situations and attacks, the Wu family has developed the ability to react quickly. For them, taking the initiative often means staying alive, and other human races rarely set foot in Xiliang, so Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling naturally cannot blame them.
"It's our fault. We came here without saying hello. Mainly, we didn't know we would come here."
Le Zheng Shuiling's words puzzled him.
"You don't know either? What's going on?"
"To be honest, we are here to look for our senior brother. We all used magic to get here. We are not sure where he is now, whether he is in Xiliang or not. It was only after I recognized you that I realized we had come to Xiliang. Fortunately, the stream is not deep, otherwise we would have lost our lives in it. Next time... there won't be a next time."
Wu Shaojie was amused by her appearance.
"The senior brother you are talking about is Le Zheng Yuhua?"
"Exactly. Did you see him?"
"No." Le Zheng Shui Ling sighed in disappointment. Wu Shaojie felt sorry for lighting her hope and then extinguishing it, so he changed the subject and said, "You are really amazing. I just heard that the three of you came out of the Black Forest safely and arrived in Xiliang today. Shaojie admires you."
Yue Zheng Shui Ling thought that she had just dodged the envoys from the Dao League and Gongsun, and she couldn't let him ask about it, so she said: "Don't mention it, it's so embarrassing.
The three of us just went in and groped around, picked up some things, and came out the same way we got in, without any feeling at all.
It was pitch black. I couldn't see or hear anything. I didn't know the difference between day and night. I never want to experience that feeling a second time.
At first we thought we would just wait until the food and water ran out and we died of hunger and thirst. Don't you think that's very frustrating?
Thinking of me, the Taoist priest Le Zhengshui Lingtang... hehe, a trainee Taoist priest, I didn’t die at the hands of monsters, but died from eating and drinking too much. Just thinking about it... It’s unbearable, it’s too unbearable to look back.
Don't tell me, we don't have the ability, but we are lucky. We found it out after feeling around. So don't make fun of us, right? It's too embarrassing."
Wu Shaojie understood what she meant, which was for him to stop asking questions. Although he was curious, he was still very tactful.
"Is it to your liking?"
"It suits my taste anyway."
"The skin is slightly crispy, the inside is fatty but not greasy, it falls off the bones when you eat it, and there is not even a hint of mutton smell. If you hadn't told me it was mutton, I wouldn't have guessed it was mutton."
"As long as you like it. Eat as much as you can, there's plenty more."
"Then I won't be polite."
Looking at Le Zheng Shuiling's heroic appearance, Wu Shaojie couldn't help but think of Yaoyao. In fact, he really liked her and once invited her to dinner in private. At that time, Yaoyao did something even more exaggerated than this in order to scare him away, but Wu Shaojie liked her even more.
Le Zheng Shui Ling also suddenly thought of Yao Yao, so she asked: "By the way, how is your relationship with Miss Yao Yao going? I remember you chose her, right?" Le Zheng Qi Ming nudged her with his elbow, and Le Zheng Shui Ling remembered that Yao Yao did not accept his embroidered bouquet, "I'm sorry... I..."
"Nothing, Miss Yaoyao has explained it to me privately. When the marriage proposal was made, she was just joining in the fun, and she had no intention of getting married. I understand."
Le Zheng Shuiling looked at him pretending to smile and realized that he was upset. She immediately felt that the roasted lamb was not delicious anymore and put down the food in her hand.
"She is just a child who has not grown up, don't mind it."
"I'm really fine. By the way, is there anything important on your trip? If I can help, just let me know."
"Mr. Wu is so straightforward. To be honest, he came here to look for our senior brother Yue Zheng Yuhua. He left without saying goodbye and went deep into the dangerous place to find medicine for his sister-in-law. We were worried about him, so we followed him."
"Sister-in-law? Miss Mu? What's wrong?"
Le Zheng Qiming couldn't think of a name for the disease for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to fool around when Le Zheng Shuiling suddenly started crying.
"My poor sister-in-law. Because of her premature birth, she has always been very weak and rarely goes out. She is usually taken care of by a maid, so she is fine.
This time, she was so worried about us that she became ill and could not get up. When my senior brother came back and saw her, he was very distressed. He vowed not only to cure her disease, but also to eradicate its root.
I don't know where the prescription came from, but for the sake of the medicine, I intended to go deeper into the danger.
He didn't want to drag us into this, so he sneaked here alone. When we found out, we rushed over, but we couldn't catch up with him. Now we've no idea where he is, and we don't know whether he's dead or alive.
How about this, Second Brother, let’s go back to Jimen Pass first, and then try again.”
Le Zheng Qiming felt ashamed and embarrassed when he saw Wu Shaojie's face, who knew everything but kept silent about it.
"That's about it."
Le Zheng Qiming could only remind her privately, and Le Zheng Shuiling wiped away her tears.
"Thank you for your rescue, Master Wu. We can only stay here for one night. We will leave early tomorrow morning and will not bother you for even a quarter of an hour longer."
"Miss Shui Ling, you are too kind. Please listen to me."
"Mr. Wu, please speak."
"You just arrived in Xiliang, and you don't know whether Master Yuhua is in Xiliang. What if you miss him after you leave? Tomorrow, I will ask my clansmen to look around and ask around. If he is not in Xiliang, it will not be too late for you to go back. What do you think?"
"I think it's feasible. There's no need to rush now. What if Senior Brother is in Xiliang? It will take us longer to deal with both sides. One or two days won't make a difference."
Le Zheng Shuiling nodded, and when she saw Wu Shaojie looking at her, she started pretending again.
Wu Shaojie was worried that she would never stop, so he stood up and left.
Le Zheng Qiming really couldn't bear to watch it anymore and reminded her to stop, but Le Zheng Shuiling was still praising herself for her wit.
Le Zheng Qiming simply stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, and the matter was settled.
