The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 429 The Young Man's Thrill

When Kang Ge'er arrived, he saw the thief holding a dagger in his hand. He picked up the knife next to him and turned over to attack him.

But he saw the thief fall straight down, almost crushing him.

He half-knelt beside the shaft of the cart, looked inside, and his heart skipped a beat.

The woman inside was sitting there, holding a silver needle as thick as a hairpin in her hand. There was blood on the needle, dripping down.

There was no trace of panic on Fan Xuanyu's face, and he sat there with a resolute and calm expression.

It was as if the person who had just easily taken someone's life was not her.

Kang Ge'er was so stunned that he didn't even hear Fan Xuanyu calling him.

He looked at the needle in the other person's hand and thought that this was not the needle he was given when he was unconscious.

"Young General? Young General?"

Fan Xuanyu wiped the blood off the silver needle with a handkerchief and put it back into his sleeve.

Kang Ge'er reacted and his heart beat very fast.

"Oh, what about the acupuncture? No, I'll go down first."

Kang Ge'er spoke without thinking and didn't know what was wrong with him. He went downstairs in a hurry.

At this time, Bai Yi and others, together with the escort, killed all the robbers.

What to do if you don't kill them? Keep them for the New Year?

The other side had too many people, and several of the escorts were injured to varying degrees.

If you can handle it yourself, just take the medicine box and deal with it.

For those with more serious injuries, Fan Xuanyu bandaged them and gave them medicine.

It was already dark when we finished dealing with the robber's body.

They found a flat and safe place to spend the night.

When they learned that Fan Xuanyu could travel with them for two days to where he was going, and considering that the escort was injured, they suggested that they go together for the next two days so that they could take care of each other.

Fan Xuanyu agreed without thinking, thinking that more people would provide more security.

"I didn't expect that you look small but are so brave."

Kang Ge'er was chatting with Fan Xuanyu beside him. This girl used to be silent except for talking about medical skills.

I thought he was an introverted little lamb, but I didn't expect him to be a leopard that bites people.

Or the kind that kills with one blow.

Fan Xuanyu pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm not very brave either."

Kang Ge'er choked, not knowing how to respond. Thinking that this must be the girl's first time killing someone, he changed the subject to comfort her.

"They are all bad people who have done all kinds of evil things. Killing them will also accumulate merit for yourself, so there is no need to feel any psychological burden."

Fan Xuanyu paused as she was fiddling with the fire. Burden, did she have one?

Looking at the young general with sincere eyes, Fan Xuanyu didn't say anything.

She studied medicine and was very familiar with which acupuncture points could kill a person with one strike.

"Thank you for your comfort, young general."

"Hey, it's okay."

Kang Ge'er smiled happily, and they walked together for the next two days.

As two people who were spending their time in the carriage, they could only chat to pass the time during the boring journey.

Most of the time it was Kang Ge'er who spoke, and Fan Xuanyu listened from the side, adding a sentence or two from time to time.

On the last night before their separation, they were resting on a hillside.

The sky was dotted with stars and horses were grazing around.

Fan Xuanyu sat on the side with her legs hugged. A breeze blew, and her bangs were lifted up, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

Kang Ge'er had just escaped from the teasing of Bai Yi and others when he saw her sitting there alone, so he walked over and sat not far away, keeping a distance but not too distant.

The sounds of finger-guessing games, singing and making fun of each other could be heard from not far away. Kang Ge'er turned his head to look at Fan Xuanyu's profile, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned back.

"Why are you here alone?"

"I'm bored, so I look at the stars."

Kang Ge'er looked up. What was so good about the stars? He had seen them many times.

But, tonight, it seems, as if, a little different.

It was uncomfortable to stretch his neck, so Kang Ge'er just lay down and put his hands behind his head.

"Hey, you said..."

Kangge'er's ears moved.

"Why do people live?"

There was some confusion in Fan Xuanyu's eyes. As she had just found her relatives, she felt that life seemed to have become lighter.

It turned out that I had always wanted to find my mother and brother, but now that I had found them, I still felt empty inside.

Thinking of her father who had passed away, she rarely thought about life.

Kang Ge'er was a thoughtful child. He heard something wrong in her tone and thought about it before speaking.

"To live is to live. What else can you do? To die?"

Fan Xuanyu turned her head and met his eyes.

Kang Ge'er smiled as he explained, "This is what my grandmother told me. It's crude, but it makes sense, right?"

Fan Xuanyu repeated it silently twice, then burst out laughing.

She looks very pretty when she smiles, with two dimples on both sides of her mouth that can only be seen when she smiles.

The wind blew over her, and a strand of her hair danced in her face.

This smile is hidden in the hearts of those who look at her.

The throbbing of a young man is very simple, it is just meeting the right person in the right place.

The reunion is short and the separation is quick.

Kang Ge'er and his team followed the clues and investigated all the way, determined to find out the traitor.

On Fan Xuanyu's side, after five days' journey, they finally arrived at Qingshui River.

After asking around, they soon arrived under a huge sycamore tree.

It is the season when the sycamore trees are in bloom, and the light purple flowers cover the road like a big umbrella.

When the wind blows, some flowers fall down.

There are few people here, so it is easy to find the lonely grave without a tombstone.

The small grave covered with weeds lay there alone.

Fan Xuanyu stepped forward and knelt down.

She had witnessed many separations of life and death, and now she was kneeling in front of the grave, feeling a mixture of bitterness and melancholy in her heart.

The last time I saw my tall and strong father was when I was a child.

I almost forgot his face.

"Father, Sister Lang is here to take you home."

She muttered to herself and kowtowed three times. When she stood up, her forehead was a little red.

"Miss Xuan Yu, are we going to start?"

Fan Xuanyu nodded, and she began to light incense and burn paper.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, "The dead souls have returned to their places, and the graves are being moved!"

Halfway through the digging, Fan Xuanyu asked them to stop and do it himself.

There was no coffin when her father was buried, so she picked up his bones bit by bit.

She pieced them together one by one, and in the inky black coffin, a human figure appeared.

Finally, she draped the shroud that her mother had embroidered stitch by stitch over the bones.

"Open the coffin."

There were two horses with a plank on them, and the coffin was placed on it.

Fan Xuanyu stroked the coffin and said, "Let's go back."

The escort followed behind, thinking in his heart that this Miss Xuan Yu was really amazing, she even dared to touch the bones.

Even though they are my relatives, I still feel a little scared when I think about them.

They couldn't help but think of the day when Miss Xuan Yu killed a man without blinking an eye and acted as if nothing had happened afterwards.

They all felt a sense of admiration in their hearts, thinking that she was truly a great woman.
