The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

Night reading house

After returning home, Nian Ling sat on the bed with her knees bent, her arms around her legs, and curled up into a ball.

The right side of his cheek was still red and tears were gleaming in his eyes, which made people feel particularly distressed.

Anton leaned against the fence, quietly admiring the moonlight, and then saw Zizaitian coming out of the room and asked:

"how's it going?"

"Alas... still not talking." Zizaitian shook his head and said helplessly.

Anton Jun seemed to have a premonition: "Oh~ The whole family was forced to death because of a fictitious mountain god, and the people in the village don't like her.

No wonder there was no light in her eyes when I saw her on the boulder today. It turns out that this is the reason. It is really ridiculous."

"Huh? But I remember someone didn't say that during the day."

After hearing her teasing, Anton shook his head, revealing a face that looked uglier than crying, and said, "Sorry, I was wrong, completely wrong!"

"Well! That's a pleasant thing to say. Tell me about your new discovery."

It was as if she had finally seen him suffer a setback, and Zizaitian didn't even notice that her tone of voice had become cheerful.

"Nian Ling's family formed a strong contrast with the villagers at the foot of the mountain. A simple girl like Nian Ling always obeyed the villagers' rude behavior.

But now that she is the only doctor in the village, there is no need for her to do the things she did during the day if she wants to harm people, so I am sure that the strange behavior of the villagers has nothing to do with Nian Ling's family."

"that's it?"

Zizaitian thought he had made some great discovery, but this is the result?

Anton glanced at her and continued his reasoning:

"Of course not. Nian Ling's family owns the only well in the village, so they usually get water from here and don't go to the distant Qinghe River to get water.

The villagers are different, they have no choice, but as Nian Ling said, when the river water changes, the strange disease is born, so I guess the problem lies upstream of the river.

There is also that huge stone with a very strange pattern on it. We must go and see it and study it.”

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to be smarter than I thought!"

Hearing this, Zizaitian finally took a serious look at the handsome man in front of him, and then asked, "So what are you going to do?"

Anton Jun told his plan: "I will go to the source of the river to investigate tomorrow. You stay here to protect her. I am worried that the villagers will do something extreme if she is left alone at home."

"Do you trust me so much?" Zizaitian asked in surprise.

"I have great confidence in the Empress, and naturally in her subordinates as well!"

"Have you met her?"

"Not really." Anton answered straightforwardly.

"Then what are you doing?"

"I heard that Li Maozhen and the Empress of Qi love their people like their own children. I have also traveled to Yuanzhou, Fengxiang and other places and have seen the lives of the people there, so I believe her!"

Anton made up a random excuse. There was no other way. He couldn't just say that he saw it in an anime.

Zizaitian was also very happy after hearing this. Thinking that this matter originally belonged to the territory of Qi State, he agreed immediately.

Anton Jun looked at Zizai Tian, ​​who was smiling, and his expression was unusual.

'This person is weird, he's not praising you.'

The two chatted for a long time before Anton asked:

"Aren't you curious about who I am?"

Zizaitian ignored his question and said, "Compared to this, I am more curious about why you care so much about Nian Ling today. Do you like her?"

"You think too much, just follow your heart."

After hearing his answer, Zizaitian seemed not very satisfied. He narrowed his eyes and said, "This answer is very dangerous."

As if sensing a hint of threat in Zizaitian's words, Anton shrugged and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I won't do anything harmful to Qi. After I'm done with this, I'll have to give some great gifts to King Qi."

If what I said sounds good, it means I follow my heart. If it sounds bad, it means I am undisciplined and do whatever I want.

It would be fine if she said that she had no skills, but it just so happened that her martial arts skills were just okay, and she happened to appear in the territory of Qi State, so Anton Jun could understand her hostility towards her.

"Oh, like?"

Zizaitian did not moderate his tone because of his words.

"For example, for the first one, I can help your maid solve the problem of congenital blocked meridians."

After hearing this, Zizaitian's expression changed slightly: "Do you know that she was born with a blocked meridian?"

“The mental method I practiced can sense and control the fluctuations of all things, and I studied medicine for several years.

After seeing her today and fighting with her, I found that she was suffering from insufficient Qi and blood due to the weakening of her meridians. Her fingers were cold, her body was weak, and her pulses were empty and disordered.

However, I heard that the famous saint under the empress was also like this. I have to say that the empress has a very good eye for people.

It is really amazing that someone can have two of these rare diseases at the same time. "

When Zizaitian heard that Miao Chengtian's congenital blocked meridians could be cured, he felt pleasantly surprised, but when he heard the rest, his cheeks suddenly turned red.

"You! Humph!"

Snapped!

After saying that, Zizaitian glared at him, then walked back to the house and slammed the door shut.

"Oh my, I forgot how much Saint Jiu Tian felt for the Empress."

Anton scratched his head, then consciously moved a stool to keep watch all night.

-

next morning

When Zizaitian opened the door, he saw An Dongjun holding a branch and practicing swordplay. He thought:

'His skill is so strange, the sword energy he wields with a branch is like holding a magic weapon.'

He also observed for a long time before asking, "Young Master, your technique is truly amazing. May I ask who taught you this?"

Of course, Anton-kun couldn't tell the truth: "I just figured it out on my own. It's not a big deal."

"Young Master is joking."

While the two were chatting, Nian Ling came out of the room, walked slowly to Anton Jun, looked into his eyes and asked:

"why?"

And Anton-Jun also put away his playful intentions, looked into her eyes, and said seriously:

"When I see injustice, I draw my sword to help, that's all!"

After hearing this, Nian Ling couldn't help crying again, "Wa ...

Anton Jun also walked up slowly, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Girl, don't worry, we are here..."

“No, it’s not worry, it’s guilt.

It was me who dragged you into this vortex, why are you still helping me?

In the past three years, with the passing of my parents and several uncles, I no longer have any family. This is the first time.

This is the first time someone has stood by me. I don’t know if you did this for other reasons, but I really want to thank you!”

An Dongjun said patiently: "Girl, do you know? I am also an orphan. I was picked up by my master seven years ago. That's when I finally had a home.

But those days were really hard, so I can probably understand. If you don't mind, you can call me brother, okay?"

After hearing this, Zizaitian was a little moved, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Anton Jun, but that emotion quickly disappeared.

Because she knew that in this world, people lose their family members and die every day. In comparison, Anton-kun was one of the lucky ones.

Nian Ling was also dumbfounded, as if she had not expected that this powerful man in front of her would have such a tragic life experience. Then she hugged him tightly and replied firmly: "Brother."

"Don't worry, I have my brother here, always here..."

"Ah."

After Nian Ling calmed down, Anton Jun slowly spoke:

"Ling'er, I'm going up the mountain today to find out the truth about the mountain god. You can stay here with your sister, okay?"

"No, I want to go with you. I want to know the truth of the matter! Don't leave me, okay?"

Nian Ling's tone was full of determination, but at the same time, there was a hint of begging.

Seeing this, Anton Jun stopped trying to dissuade him, but instead channeled his internal energy into Nian Ling's body.

“The inner force just now is one of my three life-defining heart swords. With it, you can follow the aura to find me.

And it can protect your life in this area. Today, you and your sister will go to the left side of Nanshan, and I will go to the right side. Let's split up and solve the problem as soon as possible, okay?"

Then he looked at Zizaitian and said gently, "Thank you, Miss Zi."

Zizaitian said expressionlessly: "Don't worry!"

Anton-Jun looked at her and said helplessly: "Actually, you don't have to be so cold. Smile, maybe it will look good."

Zizaitian glanced at him, then dragged Nian Ling away, cursing, "Lecher!"
