Chapter 143

In the end, Fourth Master Wen finally calmed down. He hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiaohu's hand and ran all the way to Zhang Xiaohu's hut. Only when he saw Zhang Xiaohua sleeping soundly on the kang bed did he truly calm down.

Fourth Master Wen twirled his sparse beard and nodded repeatedly. His smile was as brilliant as a mountain flower as he said, "Good, good, good."

The continuous cheers made Zhang Xiaohu confused. He didn't know if it was because Zhang Xiaohua was alive or because he had saved ten thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of the thick stack of banknotes, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but feel envious. That was a huge sum of money. If it was his, how good would it be?

However, looking at his brother's sweet smile in his sleep, this happiness made his heart warm. What banknotes? Even if it was a mountain of gold, he wouldn't exchange it.

Fourth Master Wen said a few good words and didn't say anything else. He just stood there quietly.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't know what he meant, but he also accompanied him.

After a while, Fourth Master Wen asked in puzzlement, "Zhang Xiaohu, you can't always make me stand."

Zhang Xiaohu was surprised. He quickly pulled over a stool and said, "Fourth Master, please sit."

Fourth Master Wen stomped his feet and said, "Where can't I sit?

Why would I come to your hut to be a cold bench? "

Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand and said, "Then Fourth Master Wen, please wait a moment. I'll go find a soft couch for you."

Fourth Master Wen was angry and said, "You don't have any eyesight at all, not to mention sensitivity. You still want to improve? I don't think there's a way."

Zhang Xiaohu quickly went forward and said, "Fourth Master, look at what you're saying. Haven't I always been improving?

What do you mean? "

Fourth Master Wen said self-deprecatingly, "I'm already standing here. Why haven't you woken up your brother?

Let me ask him in detail. "

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly understood and thought to himself, "If you want to wake him up, just say it. If you don't say it, how would I know?

I can't read your mind. "

However, he didn't dare to say that. He continued to smile and said, "Fourth Master, it's not that I don't want to call my brother, but he has a problem with sleeping. As long as he's asleep, no matter how you call him, he won't wake up. If you don't believe me, you can try to push him yourself."

Fourth Master Wen was stunned and said in disbelief, "Is there such a thing?

I don't believe it. "

After saying that, she stepped forward and pushed Zhang Xiaohua hard. She shouted in his ear, "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua."

Zhang Xiaohua's breathing was even and she was still sound asleep.

Fourth Master Wen thought for a moment and used both hands to pull Zhang Xiaohua out of the blanket and shook him in the air. Zhang Xiaohua's body was small to begin with. Now that Fourth Master Wen was holding him in the air, he really looked like a human-shaped toy. Zhang Xiaohu almost laughed out loud.

Fourth Master Wen saw that Zhang Xiaohua was still motionless as if he had lost consciousness and lost interest. He stuffed him back into the blanket and turned around with a smile, "It seems like what you said is true. It seems like I've wronged you."

Zhang Xiaohu quickly said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

Fourth Master Wen thought for a moment and said, "Since your brother has returned safely, Manor Head Ou will definitely see him immediately if he knows. Tomorrow morning, tell him not to go anywhere. Someone will probably come to bring him back to the manor."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. Fourth Master, I'll watch over him and won't let him go anywhere."

Fourth Master Wen smiled and said, "Alright, then you should rest too. I'll go find the gate guard, Xiao Si. He actually let you disturb my sleep. I'll definitely not forgive him. I'll send him to Huan Xi Manor to deliver a message."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and didn't dare to speak. He was afraid that Fourth Master Wen would take his anger out on him.

That Fourth Master Wen quickly walked to the door and didn't forget to look back at Zhang Xiaohua who was sleeping like a pig. He said to himself enviously, "Sleeping so sweetly. It's still good to be young. If I could sleep so sweetly, I wouldn't even exchange for ten thousand taels of silver."

After saying this, he turned around and left reluctantly.

Behind him, Zhang Xiaohu wanted to say something but hesitated. He thought, "Fourth Master, can you give me ten thousand taels of silver and I'll exchange for it?"

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohua opened his eyes and carefully looked around. Only then did he realize that he had returned to the familiar little house when he was recuperating. He had just sat up from his bed when Zhang Xiaohu on the other side of the kang bed woke up. He quickly got up and said, "You're awake, Xiaohua?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yes, Second Brother. You should sleep for a while more. I can't sleep anymore."

Zhang Xiaohu was indeed tired. He laid down again and said, "Last night, Fourth Master Wen came and said that he had already sent a message to Huan Xi Manor. He will definitely send someone to pick you up this morning and won't let you leave."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he asked, "Then do you know how the Manor Head and the others are?"

At this point, Zhang Xiaohu sat up from his bed with a "hu" sound. He glared at Zhang Xiaohua and asked, "Speaking of which, I really have to ask you. Yesterday, Fourth Master Wen said that you sacrificed yourself to save Manor Head Ou. Everyone thought that you were already dead. What did this mean?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Today, you have to tell me clearly. "

Zhang Xiaohua stared blankly and said embarrassedly, "This matter is very long. I'll tell you in detail in the future. Anyway, I'm not busy right now. I'm too lazy to tell you. If I tell you too much, you'll be worried instead."

Zhang Xiaohu looked into Zhang Xiaohua's eyes and said seriously, "Xiaohua, even if you don't tell me, when I find out, won't I be worried as well?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I know, Second Brother. I'll definitely tell you in the future. Is that not enough?"

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. You've grown up and have your own opinions. Do as you see fit. If you want to tell me, then tell Second Brother about it. If you don't want to, then hide it in your heart."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "No matter how much I grow up, you're still not my Second Brother. If there's anything to discuss, I'll definitely look for you. Don't worry.

That's right, according to what you said, Manor Head Ou should be fine. "

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "It should be. Otherwise, Fourth Master Wen would have said it last night."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's good. Alright, Second Brother, I'm going to practice my fist. You go to sleep."

Zhang Xiaohu jumped up from the kang bed and said, "I'll go too. After hearing what you said, I can't sleep either."

Thus, the two brothers went to the Escort Agency's martial arts training plaza one after the other.

The twenty carriages that came back last night were still parked at one end of the plaza. It was still early and there weren't many people practicing their fist techniques in the plaza. Zhang Xiaohua saw this and was very happy. Although he felt that the Big Dipper Magical Fist that he practiced was perfect, it wasn't a fist technique that was circulated in Jianghu. He always felt that it was suitable for him to practice. If he were to practice it in public, he would always feel a little awkward and unpresentable.

Zhang Xiaohua found an empty space and stood still with a pole. Following the path of the Big Dipper Magical Fist, he practiced each move. Zhang Xiaohu did the same. He practiced his most proficient Six Directions Fist from beginning to end. When Zhang Xiaohu finished practicing, he felt very comfortable all over. He sighed and said, "The ancients said that life lies in movement. They didn't deceive me."

When he looked up, that Zhang Xiaohua was still practicing his fist techniques. Seeing his moves that were like moving clouds and flowing water, he must have succeeded in practicing the fist technique that he had perfected. Thus, he carefully looked at it. As expected, Zhang Xiaohu actually found six moves of the Six Directions Fist Technique from Zhang Xiaohua's fist technique. Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but think to himself, "Xiaohua's fist technique is really strange. It's a mess after changing it, but it can still be combined so fluently. It's really a rare miracle."

The strangest thing was that Zhang Xiaohua didn't stop practicing. Zhang Xiaohu was even more puzzled. How many moves did this fist technique have?

But when he took a closer look, he realized that Zhang Xiaohua was practicing it over and over again.

When the number of people in the square gradually increased, Zhang Xiaohua finally finished practicing the Big Dipper Magical Fist nine times. That warm flow flowed through his body with the last move. Only then did Zhang Xiaohua stop. Seeing his second brother looking at him from the side, he quickly ran over.

Zhang Xiaohu saw his brother coming over and asked curiously, "Xiaohua, do you practice your fist technique so diligently every day?

Do you practice it many times every time? "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Not many, just nine times. It's useless to practice more."

Zhang Xiaohu didn't mind when he heard that. He said, "Overdoing it is as bad as falling short. You have to be careful."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't think much of it and said, "Sometimes, I practice it eighty-one times a day. What's this?

You see, I'm not panting and my face isn't red. Naturally, there's no problem. "

Zhang Xiaohu wanted to persuade him again, but he remembered that when he only knew the Liuhe Fist, he also practiced it over and over again. So, he shut his mouth.

At this time, the number of people practicing in the square had increased. The two of them walked back slowly. When they reached the door of the small courtyard, they heard a familiar voice behind them. It cried out in surprise, "Zhang Xiaohua, it's really you."

Zhang Xiaohua heard it and turned back in surprise. He shouted, "Captain He, you're still alive?"

Zhang Xiaohu looked back. Wasn't it Captain He Tianshu from the Huan Xi Mountain Villa's medicinal field?

He Tianshu ran closer with a face full of joy. When he heard Zhang Xiaohua's words, he couldn't help but say bitterly, "Zhang Xiaohua, you're still alive. Why can't I be alive?"

Zhang Xiaohua blushed and muttered, "I haven't seen you guys in a long time. I don't know about you guys. I'm just happy to see you."

He Tianshu lovingly patted Zhang Xiaohua's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, Zhang Xiaohua. Why would I mind?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Zhang Xiaohu, we've met before. I'm He Tianshu from the Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Yesterday, I received a message from Fourth Master Wen. The Villa Master was very surprised and asked us to pick up Zhang Xiaohua early in the morning. You see …"

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile, "Fourth Master Wen already told me last night. You can bring him back to the villa now."

Then he said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, pay more attention to your safety in the future. Don't go to places where bears appear."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "I know, second brother. That's right, didn't you want to know the ins and outs of the matter?

Why don't you come with me to the villa? Sister Villa Master will definitely want me to tell her. "

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it. The escort team just returned last night. There must be a lot of things to do today. I'd better deal with the matters here first."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't insist. She said goodbye to Zhang Xiaohu and followed He Tianshu out of the escort agency.

When Zhang Xiaohu saw that his younger brother had walked far away, he turned around and went back into the house. He found five coins worth of loose silver from his money pouch and went to the accountant's residence. He handed the silver to the sleepy accountant before he went to eat breakfast and began to wrap up the escort team's return.

When Zhang Xiaohua followed He Tianshu out of the escort agency, they were greeted by a large black carriage. It was twice as big as the carriage Zhang Xiaohua used to ride. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted and a clear voice sounded, "Xiaohua, quickly get in."

Zhang Xiaohua took a closer look. Who else could it be but Qiu Tong?

Zhang Xiaohua called out, "Sister Qiu Tong, you're here too?" Then she ran forward.

When Zhang Xiaohua got into the carriage, He Tianshu also followed.

Zhang Xiaohua's first sentence was, "Sister Qiu Tong, this carriage is really big."

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "Yes, this is the young lady's carriage. Today, she specially came out to pick you up, our great benefactor."

He Tianshu also smiled and said, "We're also basking in your glory. That's why we had such a large carriage."

Zhang Xiaohua blushed a little and said, "It's nothing, Sister Qiu Tong. You've always treated me very well, so this is what I should do."

He Tianshu shook his head and said, "Sigh, this is what I should do, but I can't do it well.

Zhang Xiaohua, I really don't know what to say about you. You've really exceeded our expectations. "

Zhang Xiaohua continued to be shy and asked, "Oh right, Captain He, what happened after that?

Sister Ou didn't have anything serious, right? I've always wanted to know. "

He Tianshu smiled and told her everything that happened after Zhang Xiaohua fainted.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard that Ou Yan was fine and that the black-clothed men didn't chase after them, she couldn't help but pat her chest to express her relief. Qiu Tong smiled and said, "This is all thanks to you."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "I fell into the water, how could I help?"

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "You fell into the water, but the black-clothed men didn't know.

You killed that old man with a single slash. That old man was the most powerful among them, so of course they were scared witless and didn't dare to cause trouble again. "

Although Zhang Xiaohua wasn't very old, she knew the depth of the situation. She smiled and said, "Sister Qiu Tong, don't think too highly of me. I think the black-clothed men should be worried about the reinforcements behind us."

He Tianshu interrupted and said, "Forget it, anything we say now is just advice after the fact. Who knows what they're thinking?

Anyway, we've already returned safely. "

Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Oh right, Captain He, do you know who the black-clothed men are?"

He Tianshu frowned and said, "I'm not too sure. After we returned, these matters were handed over to the disciplinary hall of the sect. Who knows if they've found them or not? I'm not too sure either."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and didn't say anything else. Actually, she had a vague feeling that since the black-clothed men dared to kill Ou Yan, they must have a certain level of confidence. This confidence wasn't just a guarantee of success, but also a guarantee of destroying the corpse and destroying all evidence if they failed.

Qiu Tong was still worried about Zhang Xiaohua's injuries and couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "At that time, I was knocked unconscious by that old man. It took me more than ten days to wake up. Now, my injuries are completely healed. Look, I was still practicing my boxing at the escort agency just now."

Hearing this, Qiu Tong was slightly relieved and said with lingering fear, "After that, we sent many people to look for you, but they couldn't find you. Who knew that you'd run to a small town along the coast? This is far from what we imagined. Miss kept wondering if you …"

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth and was about to explain when He Tianshu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about it now. The Villa Lord will definitely ask about it later. You can talk about it in detail later so that you don't have to repeat it twice."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Captain He is right.

Sister Qiu Tong, you can listen to it later. "

The carriage drove steadily and quickly. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the side gate of Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Now, the number of guards at the gate of Huan Xi Mountain Villa was twice as many as before. They also checked carefully. Although it was the carriage of the manor lord, they still checked it before letting it in.

The carriage entered the villa and stopped in the small courtyard where they went out last time.

This place was very close to the inner courtyard. Under Qiu Tong's guidance, they passed through several courtyards and arrived at the main hall of the inner courtyard.

There was no one else in the main hall except for Elder Yu and Ou Yan. When Zhang Xiaohua came in with Qiu Tong, Ou Yan was looking outside from time to time. She seemed to be very anxious to see Zhang Xiaohua.

When Zhang Xiaohua entered the main hall, Elder Yu and Ou Yan both stood up. Ou Yan walked towards Zhang Xiaohua. How could Zhang Xiaohua dare to trouble her leader?

She quickly walked over and called out, "Sister Ou, are you alright?"

Ou Yan smiled like a flower and looked at Zhang Xiaohua, "I'm very good. Zhang Xiaohua, how about you?

Let me see if your injuries have healed. "

After saying that, she took Zhang Xiaohua's hand and looked around. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I've healed a long time ago. Sister Ou, don't worry, I'm very lucky."

When Ou Yan heard that, she said, "That's good. We were all worried about you and thought that you …"

Just like Qiu Tong, Ou Yan didn't say the word out loud.

After that, Ou Yan asked Zhang Xiaohua to sit on a chair and asked her about the situation after she got injured.

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and told her about how she was rescued after she got injured. After she recovered, she went out to look for a way home. She happened to meet the escort team of the Lotus Escort Agency and found her second brother. After that, she followed the escort team back to Ping Yang City.

However, he didn't mention Shitai Shitai's name, Little Dream's name, and what happened in the cave.

Firstly, Shitai Shitai told him not to tell anyone. Secondly, he came across the cave by chance when he was catching rabbits. He didn't treat it as something important.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaohua's encounter, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Zhang Xiaohua's situation was quite bizarre. He had actually drifted so far away and had even met a familiar relative. Most importantly, Zhang Xiaohua had suffered such heavy internal injuries, yet he had managed to survive while drifting. Furthermore, he had recovered in such a short period of time.

Ou Yan and Elder Yu wanted to ask more about Shitai Shitai, but Zhang Xiaohua had already promised not to tell anyone. Moreover, she was his savior, so all the more he couldn't say anything.

In the pugilistic world, one's promise was worth a thousand gold. Everyone understood and didn't ask anymore.

However, Elder Yu said, "Zhang Xiaohua, can you let me see your sword?"
