The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"The man you're talking about isn't more seriously injured than you are. Just lie down and relax."

Xuzhi didn't even raise his eyelids, and spoke with his thin lips that were close to his skin color.

"That's good!"

Hua Ye lowered his elbows and asked weakly, "How's the man who was shot by the arrow?"

"I won't listen to everyone's advice. When you feel better, go out and ask about these matters yourself."

"If I weren't a little girl like you, I would never interfere in the affairs of this world."

Xu Zhi's face was displeased, and his tone was full of impatience: "If you ask one more question, I will silence you."

Hua Ye shook his head frantically and raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Disciple will not ask anymore!"

As time passed, the wound on her waist became smaller and smaller, and slowly healed into new, smooth and tender skin.

Hua Ye moved her numb body and turned her head to loosen her spine. She glanced and saw that the silver-white hair behind Master Xuzhi had turned black.

"Master, why is your hair black?"

"fine!"

Xuzhi stood up slowly, somewhat exhausted. His body, which had been sleeping for who knows how many years, suddenly woke up, and he felt a little powerless.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Hua Ye quickly stood up and supported the eight-foot-tall and thin figure.

She was more than a head shorter than him, her head only reaching slightly below his broad shoulders.

"Master, you won't wake up. You haven't eaten anything yet, right?"

She quickly helped Master Xuzhi sit down and continued, "I can already smell the rice soup that the cook is cooking. I'll go get it for you!"

Before she could finish her words, her stomach growled at an inopportune moment. She lowered her head awkwardly and said, "I've been hungry for a long time, that's why my stomach is growling."

"Then go quickly!"

Xuzhi looked at her back as she ran out of the tent. Her caring tone and the touch of her warm hand holding his cold palm made him happy and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Master, I asked the chef to cook a little something for me and bring me some beef jerky."

Hua Ye first placed a bowl of rice soup in front of Master Xu Zhi, then gave him all the beef jerky in her pocket, and took his hand and placed it in his palm.

He only kept one piece for himself and put it in his mouth, chewing it with relish. Then he said, "Master, I haven't got the rice soup yet. I'm going to have breakfast first. You can enjoy it here slowly."

Xuzhi looked at the black dried beef in his palm, with a look of disgust on his face as if saying: What the hell is this?

He was about to throw it away with one hand, but when he thought of Hua Ye's expression of enjoyment when he ate it, he put it in his pocket and drank the rice soup in one gulp.

The sweet rice aroma spreading from the taste buds on the tip of his tongue made him feel unsatisfied. He stood up and appeared next to Hua Ye in a flash.

Hua Ye only felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind him. When he turned around, he saw Master Xu Zhi's cold and handsome face close to him.

She was so frightened that she jumped away immediately and shouted, "Master, why are you walking so quietly? How long has your disciple arrived? You're here so quickly?"

“This soup is okay!”

Xuzhi handed her the wooden bowl that he was holding tightly in his hand.

"Oh... Master, you want another bowl, right?"

There was a playful smile in Hua Ye's almond-shaped eyes as he looked at Master Xuzhi. He took the bowl and shouted to the frightened head cook.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen..."

She waved the wooden bowl in front of Uncle Chen's eyes several times, and shouted louder, "Uncle Chen, give me another bowl, and two more wowo!"

"Oh, okay! Miss Hua!"

Uncle Chen then came to his senses and took the wooden bowl from Hua Ye's hand. He looked at Xu Zhi from head to toe with a kind yet sharp look, especially looking at the silver hair and the pale face for several more times.

"Where did this girl meet this talented person? Wasn't he the one who caused the evil hurricane outside the stone forest yesterday?"

"Uncle Chen, please hurry up. I'm almost fainting from hunger..."

Hua Ye stretched out her hand to beg for it, and Uncle Chen then took out three wowo from a wooden basin covered with white gauze and gave them to her.

"Give you one more. You've always loved eating!"

"Thank you, Uncle Chen!"

She had long been aware of the strange looks coming from all directions, and was looking at Master Xuzhi beside her. Some were even looking at him with a terrified look as if he were a monster.

She grabbed the rice soup and the pot, then tugged at Master Xuzhi's sleeve and hid in the shadow of the stone pillar...
