Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Xiaoman was really confused.

Didn’t Wei Ren really get beaten for being rude?

Maybe this is why he is being hunted down this time.

"You should talk less."

Xiaoman pushed the door open, brought in hot water, picked up the medicine and sat down beside the bed.

"You should talk less."

"I always tell the truth. You are whiter than my wife, hahaha... cough cough cough."

Xiaoman chuckled and picked up her wet clothes and started rummaging through them.

"You're almost dead, and you're still talking nonsense."

"Nonsense, ahem. I'm very lucky." Wei Ren closed his eyes and calmed down a little: "You kid are not really going to use that medicine, are you? I think it's been stored for more than ten years."

Xiaoman said calmly: "It's not that exaggerated."

Then he put a handful of herbs to Wei Ren's mouth: "Chew them up and apply the medicine to you."

Xiaoman got all these medicines for treating external injuries from Xu Wenyan's blood.

These are all life-saving knowledge, and Xiaoman studies them very seriously.

"Oh."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! What is this? It's so fucking tearful." Wei Renji remembered and spat out the medicine residue in his mouth.

Xiaoman was really convinced. How could she run into such a hypocritical young master: "Either suffer or die."

"Ah - this is so bitter that I want to chew it now. I don't want it!" Wei Ren threw the herb to Xiaoman.

"you."

Xiaoman sighed heavily, picked up the herbs and started chewing them expressionlessly.

"Brother, it's not hard."

"bitter."

Then Xiaoman washed the towel and handed it to him: "Wipe yourself."

After working for a while, I finally bandaged all the wounds on this guy. The wounds didn't look very deep, but there were quite a lot of them.

It seems that he really stood out from the crowd.

At this time, Wei Ren's tense nerves finally relaxed and he fell asleep in a short while.

Because it was a single bed, Xiaoman found a piece of clothing in the closet, put it on, and lay on the chair to spend the night.

The rain outside the window is still falling.

It continued until three o'clock in the morning.

I didn’t sleep very well last night, so Xiaoman got up very early.

"Child, don't you want to sleep a little longer?" The old woman squatted on the ground with a dustpan spread on the ground.

She was plucking a chicken, and Xiaoman could see that it was an old hen.

"No, thank you very much. Someone should come to see me today, and I will give the old man some extra money then."

Staying in the guest village for one night would cost over a hundred coins, not to mention the two sets of coarse cloth clothes I brought with me.

"Can I help you with anything?"

The ground outside was muddy, and Xiaoman estimated that the person who came to see him would arrive later, and given Wei Ren's condition, he would have to stay here for at least two days.

"No, your brother is injured and needs chicken soup to replenish his body."

Xiaoman didn't reply, but was prepared to pay for the chicken. Of course, Wei Ren would have to pay it back later.

This old couple was a little too friendly to two strangers. It was not that Xiaoman was suspicious.

In this era, it is so abnormal.

Xiaoman looked at the hen and found that there were many places where the feathers had not been plucked cleanly. It was probably because she was too old and couldn't see clearly.

Xiaoman squatted down to help the old woman.

The old woman looked at him and smiled: "Child, you really look like our Nian'er."

This Nian'er should be the old woman's son, but his age is not right. This old couple are at least in their sixties.

Their son must be around 40 years old at most.

“Is your child working in the county?”

The old woman still looked kind, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Nian'er is gone. He died more than 20 years ago trying to save the soldiers who were with him."

The atmosphere became a little heavy when the topic reached this point.

"Ah~~~"

Just at this moment, wailing sounds were heard from inside the room.

"Sorry, I'll go check it out."

Xiaoman walked into the room. Wei Ren was still howling with his mouth open until he saw Xiaoman.

"Stop barking."

"Where did you sleep at night? Did you take advantage of me while I was asleep?"

Xiaoman glanced at him and prepared to go outside.

"Hey, don't go."

"Stay here for another day. I'll send someone to the Wei Mansion today and you'll be safe then."

Xiaoman looked at him from the chair beside the bed.

"No, we can't let the people in Wei Mansion know now. I guess those people haven't gone far." Wei Ren propped himself up and tried to sit up, but failed.

"Okay. Tell me, why are you here?"

Wei Ren reached out his hand to Xiaoman, and Xiaoman helped him sit up.

"Hehe, if you ask me this, I'll be more excited. I traveled all the way from Dianzhou to the southwest, and it was very tiring.

When I was in Changling County, I randomly found a guest house to stay in, but who knew it turned out to be a shady shop. "

"You are a sixth-rank official, but you have no soldiers?" Xiaoman asked.

"Yes, they are all dead.

Several of my brothers died in their sleep, and a few others covered us all the way, but when we were almost at the lower level of Fengxian County, we encountered bandits again.

Wow! You don’t know, more than fifty of them surrounded us, but I, who am brave and good at fighting, managed to break out.

As for the other brothers, I have been separated from them and I don’t know how they are doing.”

Xiaoman looked at him and thought he didn't look like he was seriously injured at all. It should be said that his mentality was too good.

"Do you know where these bandits are from?"

"Of course I will. I will lead my troops to destroy them later."

After they chatted for a while, the old woman asked them to come out for dinner.

Xiaoman brought some into the house.

"Wow, there is chicken in this remote place." Wei Ren picked up the bowl of chicken and started to eat it voraciously.

Xiaoman also took a bite. Although it was chicken, it had no taste at all.

It even had a fishy smell. Xiaoman had eaten more disgusting things during the years he fled.

But what curious him was that young master Wei Ren didn't show any disdain at all.

"Old woman, I want more." Wei Ren waved the empty bowl and shouted outside the door.

The old woman walked in with a smile: "If you are injured, eat more."

"Hello." Xiaoman called softly to Wei Ren.

Wei Ren asked while eating the meal brought by the old woman, "What's wrong?"

"Speak nicely, do you know why this old couple is willing to take us in..."

Wei Ren interrupted before he could finish.

"I know, their son is dead." He smiled and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm a bad person?"

"In fact, we live in this world and rarely can be our true selves. The me you see may not be me."

Xiaoman looked at the laughing man and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't worry, I'm good at making people happy."

Xiaoman thought of his mouth and fell silent again.

Just as they were finishing their meal, they heard the sound of a carriage coming from the entrance of the yard.
