Chapter 760: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 21
As the sun rose, the weather became increasingly hot.
After the hour of Chen, hot air begins to rise from the ground, making people feel restless and irritable.
Miaomiao came back from the town after noon. She only had some light things in her backpack, so she walked briskly.
After turning a bend in the mountain, Miaomiao saw Xiao Yunzhou, who had recovered somewhat, standing at the door of the house, leaning against the earthen wall, as if waiting for her.
Today he wore the navy blue brocade robe she bought for him. When she bought it, the shopkeeper told her that young gentlemen would not like such heavy material as it would make them look too old-fashioned.
But unexpectedly, when this material was worn by Xiao Yunzhou, not only did it not make him look old-fashioned, but it also showed her brother's calmness and composure, and he did not look like a fourteen-year-old boy at all.
Even the original youthfulness that he had gradually disappeared, I don't know when it started.
It's so beautiful that it makes people want to commit a crime, but this is my younger brother.
Miaomiao's expression became even more excited when she thought of their current identities.
There was still a distance of several hundred meters at first, but after she used her lightness skills and jumped down through a shortcut, she was now within reach.
"Come and have a look. There are water chestnuts for sale in town today. You probably haven't seen this before."
Miaomiao felt pity for Xiao Yunzhou, and after she talked it out, his attitude became more relaxed. He was no longer the somewhat arrogant young master from a noble family, but truly treated her as a sister and cared for her and protected her.
People's feelings are mutual. If he gives her enough affection, Miaomiao will naturally respond, just like now.
Miaomiao placed the oil paper package on a low stool beside her, untied the rope, revealing the water chestnuts still covered with pond mud.
"I cooked this just right for you. It tastes really good too.
When I went to town today, I didn't meet those people who blocked the road. I don't know if they really gave up or for some other reason.
In short, please be careful during your time at home."
Miaomiao now goes to town every one or two days to deliver some prey, and doesn't care what she brings back.
She had to do this. It would be abnormal for a hunter who usually went to town to stop going to town for a while, and when he went, he had to buy a large number of things.
Abnormal people and things are what the bad guys want to investigate.
So, Miaomiao simply went for a stroll in the mountains early and brought any prey she found to exchange for some money in town.
Sometimes when there was no prey, she would just eat a few bowls of wontons, buy some snacks, and occasionally walk a little further to fill in the marks that Xiao Yunzhou had given her before.
Miaomiao moved quickly and told Xiao Yunzhou that she wanted to cook the water chestnuts for him. She then went straight to the well, fetched some water and started washing the water chestnuts.
Xiao Yunzhou walked over slowly, holding on to the wall. When he saw the water washing through Miaomiao's fingers, there was a faint trace of crimson blood, and his fingers trembled inexplicably.
He himself had also been badly injured, and even though he later became the head of the civil officials, his skills were comparable to those of the military commanders, and the injuries he had received were too numerous to mention.
But it was different. Seeing that Miaomiao was only scratched on the palm of her palm, Xiao Yunzhou felt uncomfortable and stuffy in his heart, and even his fingers couldn't help trembling. It seemed that the pain was more than the wound that pierced his abdomen.
"Sister's hand is injured again, so let me wash and cook."
Xiao Yunzhou walked over, took Miaomiao's place and stood beside the well, then used his sleeve to wipe the back of Miaomiao's hand.
"Since you are injured, don't get wet.
If there is anything, my younger brother will take care of it for me."
After Xiao Yunzhou finished speaking, he endured the pain from his wound and lowered his head to start cleaning the water chestnuts covered with pond mud one by one.
He had never done such a thing in his two lives. The most his hands had touched was paper and pen, but they had also touched the flesh and blood of his enemies.
At the beginning, his movements were still unfamiliar, and Miaomiao was a little worried standing by, but later when she saw Xiao Yunzhou washing more and more cleanly, she let go and went into the house.
If you say you treat Xiao Yunzhou as your own brother, then you should try to really treat him as a relative.
The wound on the back of her hand was caused by thorns when she was setting a trap. The scratch was so strong that it went deep into the flesh. It was indeed a bit painful. Miaomiao used the golden wound medicine without any hesitation.
"Unfortunately, no one has come to see you."
Xiao Yunzhou has been staying in her thatched hut for more than ten days, so he has become what he is now.
But Miaomiao clearly remembered that Baobao had said that the secret guards and others would be here soon, right?
"Baobao, are you there? When will Xiao Yunzhou's subordinates find their way here?"
Miaomiao was just curious, after all, the story was somewhat different from the original one.
"That's not clear, but you've left so many marks, you'll definitely find him.
It’s just a matter of time.”
Baobao's words were ambiguous and he really didn't dare to tell Miaomiao that in fact those people had already found this place a few days ago and even met their master.
However, Miaomiao was selling the wild rabbits she had just hunted to Wang the butcher in town at that time, and she took the opportunity to peek at Aniu from the village, who was shyly walking in the town with Xiaohua, a girl from the same village.
So, just by taking the opportunity to read the villagers' gossip, I missed the opportunity to know the truth.
In the original plane, after Xiao Yunzhou met his subordinates, he gave them some money and left without hesitation.
But now Xiao Yunzhou chose to let those secret guards act in hiding and no longer talked about leaving.
Back to the present, when Xiao Yunzhou heard what Miaomiao said, a hint of obscurity flashed in his lowered eyes, and the curve of the corners of his mouth also lowered slightly.
"If they still can't find me, maybe they think I'm dead..."
Xiao Yunzhou sat in the chair, lowered his head and started coughing, revealing his slightly pale neck.
The shadow cast by the eyelashes on the eyelids looks like the wings of a frightened butterfly, which looks a bit pitiful.
"Brother, what are you talking about? They must still remember you and are looking for you.
Even if they really thought you were dead, don't be afraid, I will take care of you."
Miaomiao took out a purse from her waist and threw it to Xiao Yunzhou.
"Look, although I don't have as much money as you do in a wealthy family, I am still a big earner in this country."
Of course, this money mainly comes from robbing the rich to help the poor, but this goes without saying. She has to maintain the image of a righteous sister.
Baobao looked at the two people in the room and thought, one is pretending to be fourteen, the other is pretending to be fifteen, pretending to be pure here...
