Blood continued to flow from the corner of the girl's mouth. She trembled and sobbed: "The barbarian soldiers are chasing me. Please, save me!"

After saying that, she fainted.

Ye Li looked at Zhan Xuan anxiously: "Boss Xuan? We need to find a doctor for her quickly. She must be injured!"

Zhan Xuan subconsciously frowned, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Take her back to the tent first!"

When Shi Wen woke up again, she saw Ye Li sitting in front of her.

She asked hoarsely, "Where am I? Have those evil barbarian soldiers been caught?"

Ye Li soothed him gently, "You are in a very safe place. As for the barbarian soldiers who hurt you, Boss Xuan has already led people to chase them, but they haven't found them yet!"

A trace of panic flashed across Shi Wen's face. She suddenly grabbed Ye Li's arm and begged, "I have nowhere to go. My mother and elder brother were killed by the barbarian soldiers. To protect me, they hid me in the cracks of the rocks. Wuwuwu, even so, they found my tracks!"

Ye Li sympathized with her, but didn't know how to persuade her.

He could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid anymore, just focus on healing first. As for whether you can stay, wait for Boss Xuan to come back and discuss it with him!"

Shi Wen nodded weakly, looking like a pitiful, frightened little animal.

After she drank the medicine, she soon fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhan Xuan had also returned from his inspection. He whispered to Ye Li, "How is she? Hasn't she woken up yet?"

Ye Li replied: "She woke up. She said that mother and elder brother were killed. Did you find the bodies?"

Zhan Xuan spoke in a gloomy voice, "We found him. He died in a very miserable way. He was stabbed many times, as if he was venting his anger!"

Ye Li gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid they've transferred their hatred onto innocent people. They're too vicious. How could they even kill ordinary people?"

After saying this, he looked at Shi Wen sympathetically and said, "She's too pitiful. Without the protection of her mother and eldest brother, how will she survive?"

Zhan Xuan didn't say anything, but turned around and walked out quickly.

Ye Li hurriedly followed him and asked cautiously, "Boss Xuan, how do you plan to place her?"

At this time, Xie Jianshu came over and put his arms around his neck and said, "Ye Li, are you being too compassionate? Do you want Boss Xuan to take her in?"

Ye Li blushed and argued: "I didn't, that's not what I meant. I just felt that she was injured and had just suffered the blow of losing a loved one. She must be very sad!"

Pang Qiang also spoke up: "Yes, the little girl has a beautiful face. If she falls into the hands of those barbarian soldiers again, she will not end well!"

Xie Jianshu frowned and pondered, "But, we are also hanging our heads on the belts. There is no tomorrow. Can we keep her here?"

Zhan Xuan said without hesitation: "No, when she wakes up, send her to the village and let Liu Xizhi find someone to take good care of her!"

Ye Li opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

When he returned to the tent, Shi Wen was already sobbing sadly.

He asked helplessly: "Little girl, why are you crying?"

Shi Wen said aggrievedly: "I just heard everything. Your boss doesn't want to keep me and wants to send me away, right?"

Ye Li did not hide anything. He explained seriously, "It's safer inside the village. Barbarian soldiers may invade here at any time. Our boss is worried that he can't protect you!"

Shi Wen bit his lip hard, and after a long moment, he murmured softly, "After all, you saved me. My mother taught me from a young age that I shouldn't be ungrateful. Can I do something within my power to repay you?"

Ye Li looked at her curiously: "What can you do?"

Shi Wen blurted out: "Cook!"

Zhan Xuan was very surprised when he heard that Shi Wen was going to cook for everyone.

But he suppressed his doubts in his heart and did not say them out loud.

He just said, "She can do whatever she wants, just don't burn the tent down!"

After getting permission, Shi Wen started to get busy.

She is very skillful and can make many different dishes out of ordinary vegetables.

When Xie Jianshu smelled the fragrance of the food, his eyes widened.

He murmured in shock, "She actually knows how to cook? She looks so delicate and delicate, like she can't do anything!"

Ye Li raised his hand and hit him: "You really underestimate me. I saw her cook it with my own eyes. Her cooking skills are indeed extraordinary!"

Xie Jianshu laughed happily: "Then I'm in for a treat today. Liu Xizhi also gave me two taels of wine. I'll have another drink with Boss Xuan!"

Zhan Xuan kicked him directly: "All you know is drinking. Others sold you out, do you still want to help count the money?"

Xie Jianshu cried out with a bitter face: "Boss Xuan, how did I offend you?"

Zhan Xuan gave him a look that showed he understood, then walked straight into the tent.

At this time, Shi Wen had already placed the sumptuous meal on the table. She spoke a little awkwardly, "My benefactor, you are all back just in time. We can start eating now!"

Ye Li subconsciously praised: "Girl, you are a good cook. These dishes look delicious just by looking at them!"

Zhan Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Ye Li, whether the food is delicious or not can be judged by tasting it, not by looking at it!"

Shi Wen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Boss Xuan is right. You have to try it before you know the real taste!"

Zhan Xuan interrupted with alienation: "I'm not your Boss Xuan!"

Shi Wen stammered awkwardly, "I'm sorry, benefactor. I overstepped my bounds!"

After saying that, she looked at Ye Li with red eyes.

Ye Li didn't dare to join in the discussion. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Let's eat first. We still have to go on patrol at night!"

Several people hurriedly ate, while Shi Wen sat in the corner with a disappointed look on his face.

Zhan Xuan seemed to have no appetite and did not touch the food in front of him.

Shi Wen could only muster up the courage to ask, "My benefactor, is it not to your taste? What do you like to eat? I will make some for you again."

Zhan Xuan shook his head: "No, I bought some scones outside before, so I'm not hungry now, you don't have to worry about it!"

Shi Wen bit his lip hard, a hint of unwillingness flashing across his eyes.

After a moment's silence, she said, "Why don't I pour you a glass of wine? That will be my thanks to you!"

Zhan Xuan didn't refuse. He responded solemnly, "Okay!"

Shi Wen walked quickly to his side, picked up the wine jug with a respectful look on his face, and filled the glass in front of him.

Zhan Xuan reached out, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, he stood up and said, "You guys eat first. I'm a little tired and sleepy, so I'm going back to rest!"

After saying that, he walked outside.

Ye Li wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Shi Wen: "My benefactor, please drink more chicken soup. This is the one I carefully brewed. It can nourish your body!"
