Chapter 723 I Love to Stand up for the Weak

The next day, the rain stopped, the sky was blue, and the sunshine softly sprinkled on the earth. Xi Yu and others packed their bags and continued on their way.

Wenxuan stayed in the wild all night, lying on the ground without anyone noticing.

The horse stood by loyally, lowering its head and sniffing Wenxuan from time to time, as if trying to wake up its owner.

Xi Yu and others rode forward slowly and passed by the place where Wenxuan fell.

Xi Yu glanced inadvertently and saw Wenxuan lying motionless.

He was shocked, his face changed suddenly, he quickly reined in the reins, quickly dismounted, and ran to Wenxuan in three steps at a time.

Ouyang Linlin was also surprised, frowned, and hurriedly dismounted.

Xi Yu came to Wenxuan anxiously, hugged her and shook her hard, shouting urgently: "Wenxuan, Wenxuan, wake up!"

While shouting, he gently touched her forehead with his hand. He felt it was extremely hot. This touch made his heart twitch even more, "Oops, she already has a fever!"

Song Shuwen looked calm and said with firm eyes: "Prime Minister, don't panic. As long as I, Song Shuwen, am here, there is no need to be afraid! Prime Minister, please quickly prepare a suitable place for the injured."

Xi Yu put down Wenxuan with anxiety, and the anger in his heart was like a burning flame.

He suddenly turned around and kicked Wenxuan's horse hard. His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he scolded at the top of his lungs: "You damn beast! Why didn't you come back to report the news? Your master It’s hard for you to blame yourself for what you’re like now!”

The horse seemed to be aware of its dereliction of duty. It lowered its head, its eyes were full of guilt, and it made a low neighing sound. Its hooves scratched the ground uneasily.

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and asked Xi Yu with a puzzled face: "Husband, why do you blame Ma? Ma is not sensible."

Xi Yu frowned and shook his head with a worried face, but he said no more. He knew that this was not the time to talk nonsense.

Then, Xi Yu gritted his teeth and used all his strength to lift the unconscious Wenxuan onto the horse.

He looked around eagerly, calling on everyone to quickly find a place where Wenxuan could be placed.

Everyone did not dare to delay and speeded up their pace. The sound of horse hooves and footsteps seemed particularly rapid in the open field.

Finally we came to a village, with a few old willow trees at the entrance swaying gently in the breeze.

Xi Yu hurriedly walked with Wenxuan in his arms, sweat beads on his forehead, and his eyes eagerly searched for places where he could ask for help.

At this time, they encountered a house with a small yard surrounded by adobe walls, and green smoke was rising from the chimney. Xiyu walked forward in three steps and knocked on the slightly worn wooden door.

The door opened, and an old man with a kind face appeared in front of him. Xi Yu hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, and explained the situation to his master in a sincere tone: "Old man, my companion was injured in the wild and has a high fever. I beg you to make it easier for us to have a place to put her and find some ways to save her. ”

The old man looked at Xi Yu's anxious look, then at the unconscious Wenxuan in his arms, and quickly turned sideways to let them into the house.

In this way, Xi Yu carefully carried Wenxuan to a relatively tidy room and gently placed her on the bed.

His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and the sweat on his forehead kept sliding down his cheeks.

Then, Xi Yu turned to look at Song Shuwen, and said urgently but with a hint of hope: "Doctor Song, please, I must cure her."

Song Shuwen nodded solemnly, walked quickly to the bed, and began to diagnose and treat Wenxuan.

Next, Song Shuwen frowned and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, please go out first and leave this place to me for treatment."

Xi Yu walked out of the room and saw the cool breeze blowing in the yard, which was quite cool, so he strolled to the yard.

The old man had a kind face and quickly took out seats for the three of them. Xi Yu smiled and thanked them and sat down.

With concern in his eyes, the old man spoke first: "Young man, looking at your tired face, you must have gone through a lot."

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and thought to himself: This old man looks quite kind, maybe he can talk to him. A wry smile appeared on his face, and he responded: "Old man, how can the difficulties in this world be explained clearly in a few words."

The old man patted Xi Yu's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Speak slowly."

Xi Yu lowered his head, his eyes dimmed, and said slowly: "I have been running all the way, and I have time to see the suffering in the world, but I am unable to change it, and I feel very depressed."

The old man had deep eyes and said thoughtfully: "Life is full of suffering, but as long as you have hope, there will always be a turn for the better."

But the old man doubted Xi Yu's identity and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Who is this person? How could he talk like this?" However, the old man only speculated secretly and did not express the doubts in his heart.

At this moment, I saw a neighbor running over in a hurry, shouting: "Old man, something bad has happened! Your son Jin Xi has been beaten!"

When the old man heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. The fan he was holding fell to the ground with a "pop", his face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembled as he asked: "What on earth is going on?"

The neighbor was breathing heavily, with big beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and said anxiously: "Jin Xi went out to pull goods, and originally negotiated a price with others. Who would have thought that when all the goods were loaded on the car, , the other party had no integrity, and suddenly raised the price. Jin Xi was an upright person, so he naturally didn't want to suffer such a dumb loss, so he started arguing with them, but he didn't know that the other party was arrogant and unreasonable, and he took action without saying a word. Bo was beaten by them."

After hearing this, the old man was so angry that he was trembling all over. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, his chest heaved violently, and he roared: "These unscrupulous people! They are simply lawless!"

Xi Yu was on the side, clenching his fists tightly, his brows knitted into a knot, his teeth chattering, thinking angrily in his heart: "How can we let such a villain go unpunished? We must seek justice for him!"

The old man's face was full of anxiety and worry. He turned his head and shouted sharply at Xi Yu: "Young man, this is our own business. Don't meddle in our own business!"

Xi Yu's eyes were firm and he did not flinch, and said decisively: "Old man, I can't bear to see the inequality in this world. I will take care of this matter!"

At this time, the neighbor hurriedly told the old man: "Old man, Jin Xi has already come here."

Outside, Jin Xi appeared in a panic.

His clothes were ragged, his hair was messy, his face was bruised and bruised, and his eyes were full of anger and grievance.

There were many villagers surrounding him, all whispering to each other and looking indignant.

As for Jin Xi's car, it had been smashed into pieces and its parts were scattered everywhere.

Many villagers were flushed with anger, some waved their fists and shouted angrily: "This is too bullying!"

Some frowned and shouted angrily: "It's simply unreasonable!"

As soon as Jin Xi saw the old man, tears burst out of her eyes. She cried out in pain and said, "Dad, this time the matter was not completed. I am so embarrassed!"

He drooped his head, his face full of guilt and self-blame, and he felt extremely remorseful, feeling that he had let his father down.

The old man hugged Jin Xi distressedly, patted his back gently and comforted him: "Son, as a father, I already know what's going on. It's not your fault, it's those people who are so unreasonable!"

Jin Xi raised his head and looked at the old man with red and swollen eyes.

At this time, Jin Xi noticed three strangers named Xi Yu at home, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Dad, who are these?"

The old man sighed and said, "They are on their way, but something happened to their friend and they are being treated here."

Jin Xi secretly thought to himself: These people don't look like bad people.

The old man looked at several villagers with gratitude, clasped his hands and said with emotion: "Thank you all for accompanying my son back. I will remember this kindness."

Several villagers waved their hands and said cheerfully: "Old man, you are too polite. This is what neighbors should do." After that, everyone gradually dispersed.

Xi Yu stepped forward, looked at Jin Xi sincerely, and asked, "Brother Jin Xi, are you willing to let me handle this matter?"

Jin Xi had a puzzled look on his face and looked Xi Yu up and down, wondering in his heart: Why does this person want to meddle in such nosy matters? He said: "Brother, I have never met you. I wonder why you want to get involved in this matter?"

Xi Yu straightened his back, looked firm, and said loudly: "I just see injustice on the road, and I can't stand those villains who bully others!"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Jin Xi's eyes, he bit his lip and said, "This matter is quite troublesome. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to injure you."

Xi Yu smiled slightly, with firmness and confidence in his eyes, and said, "Brother Jin Xi, don't be so outspoken. Since I have decided to help, I am not afraid of any trouble."

Jin Xi frowned and pondered for a moment, then finally raised his head, with a sense of trust in his eyes, and said, "Since brother is so loyal, I, Jin Xi, will no longer refuse."

The old man looked on, his face full of worry, and he said worriedly: "My child, this is not easy to handle. Don't get yourself into big trouble."

Xi Yu comforted the old man and said, "Old man, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion and will definitely give justice to brother Jin Xi."

Jin Xi was so moved that his eyes turned red and he choked with sobs and said, "Thank you very much. If this can be done, Jin Xi will definitely repay the favor."

Xi Yu said: "Brother Jin Xi, don't be so polite. Tell me where the place is to raise prices." Jin Xi quickly replied: "It's at the big stone shop in the east of the city. I'm in the stone business. , I thought that the delivery would be smooth this time, but I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing. "

Xi Yu nodded slightly and turned to look at Ouyang Linlin. Ouyang Linlin frowned and said with a worried look on her face: "Let the secret guard go there, I don't want you to go there yourself."

Xi Yu looked firm, shook his head and said, "If I don't handle it personally, I won't be able to feel at ease."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, with concern in her eyes, and said, "Then you must be careful and never act rashly."

So, Xi Yu looked at Jin Xi firmly and said, "Brother Jin Xi, you come with me." After saying that, he got on his horse and stretched out his hand to pull Jin Xi behind him. The horse neighed and galloped away, raising a cloud of dust.

After the two people left, the old man paced back and forth in the yard, with a sad look on his face, and murmured: "What should we do? It's all the trouble caused by my son, which has brought trouble to others."

Ouyang Linlin stepped forward and comforted softly: "Old man, you don't have to worry so much. He will definitely be able to handle this matter."

The old man sighed and said worriedly: "I hope so, I hope nothing will happen again."

Xi Yu and Jin Xi drove at high speed and soon arrived at Dashifang in the east of the city.

Before entering, I heard bursts of noise coming from inside.

Xi Yu dismounted, handed the reins to Jin Xi, and took the lead in striding into the stone square.

I saw a group of big and fat men sitting around drinking and boxing together, it was very lively.

Xi Yu glanced around and fixed his gaze on a man with a sinewy face and a burly figure. He must have been the one who took the lead in raising the price.

The man noticed that someone was watching, raised his head, glanced sideways at Xi Yu and Jin Xi, and said in a sinister tone: "Hey, isn't this a kid who was beaten? How dare you come to your door?"

Xi Yu showed no fear on his face, took a step forward, and said loudly: "In broad daylight, you are so dishonest and oppress good people, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"

The man laughed "haha", slapped the table, stood up, and said viciously: "Wang Fa? In this world, I am Wang Fa!"

Xi Yu snorted coldly and said, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today, you won't be able to do anything good!"

The man rolled up his sleeves, exposed his thick arms, and shouted, "Boy, it's not fun to look for it, is it?"

As he said that, he called a few thugs around him to surround him.

Seeing this, Jin Xi couldn't help but feel a little timid, and tugged on Xi Yu's clothes.

Xi Yu gave him a firm look, telling him not to be afraid.

Just when the swords were tense, the secret guard suddenly flashed and struck with lightning speed, instantly subduing the two thugs who were rushing forward.

When the others saw this, they were all shocked and did not dare to step forward rashly.

Xi Yu's eyes were sharp and he said again: "I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. As long as you apologize to Brother Jin Xi today and compensate for the losses, this matter can be dropped."

The man in the lead felt a little wary when he saw that the people around Xi Yu were very skilled, and his attitude was no longer so tough. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'm in trouble, I'll let you do it this time."

In the end, Jin Xi's matter was properly resolved, and the two returned on horseback.

Before Xi Yu left, his eyes were bright and he warned those people coldly: "Be honest with me in the future and don't do bad things again, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!" After that, he turned around and left with Jin Xi.

On the way back, Jin Xi was still frightened and full of curiosity. He looked at Xi Yu in shock and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, who are those ghost-like people who suddenly appeared next to you just now?"

Xi Yu turned his head slightly, glanced at Jin Xi, and said calmly: "Brother Jin Xi, there are some things you don't need to know, and it won't do you any good to ask."

Jin Xi nodded in understanding. Although his heart was still full of doubts, he stopped asking.

The two of them remained silent, the sound of horse hooves echoing on the empty road.

After a while, Jin Xi still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and said cautiously: "Brother, I know you have your difficulties, but I am really curious in my heart. Those people appeared too suddenly and too powerfully. ”

Xi Yu sighed softly, looked forward, and said slowly: "Brother Jin Xi, I don't let you ask, it's for your own good. Knowing too much about some things in this world may not be a blessing."

Jin Xi bit his lip and said thoughtfully: "Brother, I understand what you mean, but I just think you must be a very capable person."

Xi Yu smiled slightly and said: "You are not very capable, just draw your sword to help when the road is rough."

"Anyway, thanks to you today, otherwise I really don't know what I would do."

The two continued to ride forward, the wind blowing on their faces with a hint of coolness.

In the old man's home, Song Shuwen walked out with a solemn expression and sighed heavily. When Ouyang Linlin saw this, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, her face instantly turned pale, and she asked in panic: "Doctor Song, is Wenxuan in any danger?"

Song Shuwen did not answer immediately, but frowned, looked around, and asked, "Where is the Prime Minister?"

Ouyang Linlin was extremely anxious, and her voice was trembling: "What time has it been? Don't worry about the Prime Minister. Tell me how Wenxuan is doing!"

Song Shuwen looked at Ouyang Linlin's almost collapsed appearance, lowered his head slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "The situation is not optimistic. I... I need the Prime Minister to make a decision."

Now, Ouyang Linlin was even more frightened. Her face was as white as paper, her eyes were full of fear, her body trembled involuntarily, and she said with a cry in her voice: "Doctor Song, don't scare me, what on earth is going on? What's going on?"

Ouyang Linlin's hands were cold, her heart was in her throat, and she stared at Song Shuwen nervously.

Song Shuwen continued: "Wenxuan's life is not in danger for the time being, but his condition is somewhat complicated and requires further treatment."

Hearing this, Ouyang Linlin felt like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. Her tense nerves instantly relaxed. She breathed a long sigh of relief and murmured to herself: "Thank God, as long as there is no danger to life, Just fine.”

Song Shuwen looked at her and asked, "Where is the Prime Minister?"

Ouyang Linlin calmed down and said, "My husband went to settle the injustice." At this time, she was still worried about Wenxuan's condition in her heart, and she was also worried about her husband who was out.

The old man was filled with guilt, bowed deeply, and said apologetically: "This is all my fault. I am sorry for making you worry about my family's affairs."

But the old man suddenly stiffened, as if he realized something, turned around abruptly, his face full of astonishment, and said in a trembling voice: "Just now...just now you called me Prime Minister?"

His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief and panic. (End of this chapter)
