This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.
Chapter 124 Rescue
“Brother Dashu, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? This little thing is fine, but this person…” Hu Zi scratched his head, glanced at Mu Chunhua, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and turned back to Mu Dashu.
"Well, what other choice do we have? This is for the best, so that the village chief's son won't keep his eyes on her. If Chunhua goes with him, she'll really be jumping into a fire pit," Mu Dashu said helplessly.
"But this person's background is unknown. What if he's some kind of bad guy?" Tiger asked rhetorically.
"That's unlikely. This kid risked his life to save Chunhua, so he shouldn't be a bad person. Besides, he looks weak and is seriously injured. If he dared to bully Chunhua, we could easily deal with him," Mu Dashu said dismissively.
“Alright, Chunhua doesn’t care what others say, so I don’t need to worry about it either.” Hu Zi nodded, then bent down and carried the white-clad man on his back.
When Mu Dashu and Hu Zi finally found Mu Chunhua, they both breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she was alright, while scolding her for running around everywhere.
When Mu Dashu and Hu Zi discovered that there were two other people lying there, they panicked and decided to leave with Mu Chunhua as soon as possible to be on the safe side.
However, Mu Chunhua said that they could not abandon the man in white, and Mu Dashu and Hu Zi naturally disagreed with taking the man in white back to the village.
Having no other choice, Mu Chunhua told a lie, saying that the man who had died wanted to harm her, and that the man in white saved her, but was seriously injured in the process.
Out of gratitude, she couldn't stand by and watch someone die. Moreover, in order to get Mu Dashu and Hu Zi to help her, she even said that she had fallen in love with the man in white and that the two had even been intimate.
Although Mu Dashu and Hu Zi still had some concerns, they had no choice but to agree to take the man in white back to the village to recover from his injuries.
As for the Great White Tiger, it had no choice. Whenever it tried to run away, it would be locked onto by the killing intent of the "Heavenly Show" sword, and it dared not act fiercely. It could only transform into a little kitten and submit to its fate.
Seeing that Hu Zi had carried the man in white, Mu Chunhua quickly slung the "Tianxiu" sword behind her back, then picked up the kitten and followed.
Women are always powerless against small animals. Even knowing that this kitten was transformed from the terrifying white tiger from before, she was still captivated by its adorable appearance.
When Mu Chunhua and her group returned to the village, the others who had gone hunting with them had already returned.
When the villagers saw that Hu Zi was carrying a stranger on his back, they all gathered around.
"Big Tree, Tiger, you're finally back."
"Tiger, who's that person on your back?"
"Where did this outsider come from?"
"Oh my, look how fair and clean he is."
"It looks like he's seriously injured. I wonder if there's any hope for him?"
"..."
A group of people chattered excitedly. The village was located in a remote area and was basically secluded from the world except for hunting. Naturally, few outsiders came. They all found it very strange to suddenly see such an outsider.
Mu Dashu only replied politely for a few words, and then urged Hu Zi to carry the man in white towards the direction of Mu Chunhua's house.
The village was small, so rumors quickly spread that Mu Chunhua was shameless and had brought back a wild man from outside.
Mu Chunhua and the other two had no time to pay attention to the gossip, because as soon as Hu Zi put the man in white down, he woke up.
When the man in white woke up, he was clearly taken aback by his unfamiliar surroundings: "Who are you? Where is this?"
"This is Qingmu Village, we..." Mu Chunhua didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she quickly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, who are you? Where are you from?"
The man in white was taken aback again: "Huh, right, who am I? I can't remember at all. Do you know who I am?"
The group of people were stunned at the same time.
Mu Chunhua was the first to react, and she was secretly pleased. She had been worried that the lie she told would be exposed after the man in white woke up, but now it seemed that it was a good thing that he didn't remember.
"Huh? Don't you remember? I was in danger in the woods, and you bravely saved me, but you were seriously injured and passed out."
Mu Dashu and Hu Zi nodded quickly, echoing, "That's right, we saw you lying on the ground when we arrived, and then we brought you back to the village. But, do you really not remember anything? Like, what's your name...?"
The man in white pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "Name... yes, my name is Zheng Zhuang. As for the rest... well, I really can't remember. But it's true that I saved her. My intuition tells me that I should be a good person who respects the elderly, cares for the young, and is courageous in doing what is right."
"Uh, you are..."
"Hehe, yes, Brother Zheng is definitely a good person. It's okay if you can't remember for now. Just stay here and recover from your injuries. Once you're healed, you might remember everything."
Although Mu Dashu also felt that this person seemed a bit shameless, he stopped Hu Zi from speaking and then offered a few words of comfort.
Seeing that Zheng Zhuang had regained consciousness and was still unable to move easily, but was no longer in danger, Mu Dashu decided not to stay any longer. He left behind a few prey and then left with Hu Zi.
Only Zheng Zhuang and Mu Chunhua remained in the room, and it fell silent. Neither of them knew what to say.
After Zheng Zhuang killed Du Xue that day, both the "Killing Calamity" and the "Karmic Calamity" arrived at the same time, and in the critical moment, he could only seal himself away.
This sealing method was something he had come up with by comparing it with the "Sword of Primordial Spirit" within his body. He had never used it before, but it was unexpectedly powerful. It not only sealed the abnormal movements within his body, but also sealed his memories.
I can't remember anything except one name.
Zheng Zhuang racked his brains but to no avail, so he had to give up for the time being. At this moment, the two looked at each other and he began to examine Mu Chunhua carefully.
She appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an oval face, a slender figure, wheat-colored skin, and long hair styled into two braids. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she was still charming and cute.
"From now on, I'll call you Brother Zheng. My name is Mu Chunhua, just call me Chunhua. Brother Zheng, you rest first, I'll go get something to eat."
A little embarrassed, Mu Chunhua quickly said a few words, then blushed and ran out.
Seeing her shy expression, Zheng Zhuang couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he grimaced and remembered that he was seriously injured.
Zheng Zhuang sighed silently. It seemed that he could only recover slowly for now.
He slowly closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Zheng Zhuang woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.
“Brother Zheng, you’re awake. Have something to eat. I made some soup with the pheasant that Brother Dashu left behind.”
Mu Chunhua had been keeping an eye on the movements inside the house. When she saw Zheng Zhuang wake up, she quickly brought in an earthen bowl.
Fresh pheasant and dried wild mushrooms, paired together with no special seasonings, just a sprinkle of salt, create an indescribably delicious flavor.
Zheng Zhuang originally wanted to say that he wasn't hungry, but smelling that aroma, he couldn't help but secretly swallow.
"Okay... okay, thank you."
Zheng Zhuang tried to struggle to get up, but his injuries were too severe, and any movement aggravated his injuries, causing him to grimace in pain once again.
"I'll feed you..."
Mu Chunhua quickly put down the bowl and carefully helped Zheng Zhuang sit up, so he could lie at an angle.
She had never been so close to a strange man before, and two blushes unconsciously rose on her face.
"Then I'll trouble you, young lady. I will repay you handsomely once I've recovered!"
Zheng Zhuang was too embarrassed to refuse at this point; he couldn't even lift a finger. Besides, the young girl wasn't being shy about it, so he had no reason to refuse.
When Mu Chunhua heard Zheng Zhuang mention repaying the debt, the thought of "offering herself in marriage" inexplicably popped into her mind, and her face turned even redder.
"No trouble at all... Brother Zheng, you will definitely get better."
Zheng Zhuang had no idea that the young girl's thoughts had wandered so far. After drinking a few sips of chicken soup, he felt warm all over, as if his injuries had been relieved somewhat. So he decided to find out more about the situation.
"Cough, Chunhua, could you tell me what happened when I saved you? I'd like to see if I can recall anything."
Mu Chunhua was taken aback, her face showing hesitation. She opened her mouth, but then stopped herself from speaking.
Zheng Zhuang was puzzled, thinking to himself, what is there that can't be said? But suddenly his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that I didn't have time to deal with it, and the little girl had already been taken advantage of by that villain?
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuang looked at Mu Chunhua apologetically, his eyes filled with pity.
Mu Chunhua couldn't bear such a gaze. Seeing that the other party trusted her so much, she had no reason to hide it any longer.
“Brother Zheng, actually, I lied to you before. When I found you, you were already lying on the ground. As for what happened before, I really don’t know. I didn’t mean it. If I hadn’t said this, Brother Dashu and the others would never have agreed to bring you back to the village.”
Seeing Mu Chunhua on the verge of tears, Zheng Zhuang instinctively reached out to comfort her, but suddenly realized he couldn't move his hand.
"You silly girl, what's the big deal? Not only did I not save you, you actually saved me. I'm so grateful to you, how could I blame you?"
Zheng Zhuang offered a few words of comfort, then suddenly stopped. He seemed to recall a silly girl like that, but he couldn't remember what she looked like.
Zheng Zhuang sighed helplessly. If he couldn't remember, he might as well not think about it anymore, lest he only add to his troubles.
"This chicken soup is delicious, could you give me another bowl?"
Seeing that Zheng Zhuang didn't blame her, Mu Chunhua immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
"Okay, okay, there's still some in the pot. Brother Zheng, please wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."
With that, she skipped and hopped out of the house.
Zheng Zhuang watched Mu Chunhua's retreating figure, feeling fortunate that it was her who had helped him when he fainted; otherwise, he might have become food for the wild animals in the forest by now.
He recalled the lie Mu Chunhua had told him to save him, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"What a silly girl!"
