"Mom, are you okay?" The child knelt on the ground and hugged his mother.

"Child, my child." The young lady lay on the ground, propped herself up with her hands, caressed the child's face, and her eyes wandered around the child in panic, for fear that the child would be injured.

Jiang Li closed the scabbard, carefully put He Hui back into the sword case, and gently wiped the dust on the sword case.

Next to him, Yun Shu looked at the mother and son on the ground with a warm look, turned around and said to Jiang Li with a smile: "It's very good. Judging from your performance today, I can still consider giving you a chance."

Jiang Li continued to wipe the sword box expressionlessly. He was already used to Yun Shu's way of speaking, so he ignored him.

"Thank you two benefactors for your life-saving grace!" The girl took the child and knelt on the ground together, kowtowing to Jiang Li and the other two.

Yun Shu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled them up. He followed the example of a knight-errant and said with an upright expression: "No need to thank you. I just draw my sword to help when the road is rough. This is my responsibility and it is nothing."

Jiang Li wanted to laugh when he heard this. At the critical moment, he had clearly split the tree with his sword and frightened away the thieves. Now it was her turn to show off her heroic demeanor?

Yun Shu noticed the suppressed smile on Jiang Li's face when he spoke, and immediately gave him a sharp look. This look, so graceful and graceful, made Jiang Li stunned.

What's wrong with me? I suddenly felt my heart beating faster just now. No, I can't have such thoughts. Although she looks pretty good, she is still far behind compared with Ying'er, Jiang Li thought in his heart

With.

Yun Shu naturally didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking, so he continued to comfort his mother and children.

"Two benefactors, it's getting late. If you don't mind, please come to my house for a quick meal before leaving. Let me repay your kindness a little."

"Okay, okay." Yun Shu was not polite. Anyway, she was short of money now and it would be great if someone took care of the food. She then turned back and looked at Jiang Li with a hopeful look on her face.

"I won't..."

"Oh, go ahead, go ahead, I just want to repay you as my lifesaver!"

"This...that's disturbing."

Hearing his reply, Yun Shu and Xiao Niang smiled at the same time.

"Two benefactors, please come this way." As she said this, the young lady took the child and led the way for them.

"Sister, please don't call us benefactor. It sounds embarrassing. My name is Yun Shu, and that boring gourd's name is Jiang Li."

"You are the boring gourd!"

The exchange of pleasantries between the two made the girl unconsciously cover her mouth and chuckle.

The child kept looking at Jiang Li along the way, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at Jiang Li's look, he was too embarrassed to speak.

"Hey, Menghulu, you scared the child." Yun Shu looked at the child and noticed.

Jiang Li was naturally aware of the child's gaze, but he didn't know what to say. He could only ask: "What's your name?"

The child was very surprised when he heard Jiang Li talking to him, and timidly replied: "My name is Douya, big brother, are you a knight?"

Jiang Li did not answer him directly, but asked: "What do you think is a knight?"

"My father told me that a knight is a hero in the world, a person who specializes in eliminating violence and upholding justice!"

"Your father is right, this is a knight. But... I am not a knight, the elder sister next to you is."

When Yun Shu heard Jiang Li praise her, she didn't show any pretense. She immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin, and showed a proud expression.

"But this eldest sister doesn't know martial arts." Douya glanced at Yun Shu and said with some doubt.

"Little brat, what do you know? You just saw him cutting a tree with his sword and you thought it was awesome, didn't you think it was awesome? I can tell you, he is just my little brother. If I use my hands, I will fly sand and rocks and move mountains.

The sea is too scary, so I usually don't take action." Yun Shu said to Douya with the air of an outsider.

"It's amazing... I want to be a knight when I grow up. I want to protect my mother and take my mother to find my father."

"Where is your father? Isn't he with you?"

"Mom said that my father went to a place very far away. When I grow up, I will go find him." Douya said innocently.

Yun Shu understood something after hearing this, and immediately looked at his mother with an apologetic expression.

However, the young lady waved her hand gently, indicating that she didn't care.

Jiang Li on the side listened to the conversation between Yun Shu and Dou Ya without interrupting. It was actually quite good. Dou Ya still had his mother, but he...

Dad, Mom, are you still in this world?

"Here we are, this is my home." The mother pointed to a small yard in front of her and said to the two of them.

The two of them looked around and saw two brick houses in a small courtyard. A few people walked in. There were all kinds of farm tools and furnishings in the courtyard. This kind of family is already very good in a mountain village.

It's just that the fence in front of the yard is a little worn out, and it looks like it hasn't been taken care of for a long time.

"Bean sprouts, go and take the leftovers and feed the chickens."

The child picked up the leftover food on the floor and ran towards the back of the yard.

The young lady pulled up her hanging hair and said to the two of them with a smile: "Since his father left, no one has taken care of this yard for a long time.

Jiang Li and Yun Shu didn't speak. Although the girl said it with a smile, they could still feel a sense of heaviness.

"Mom, where were you today? How did you meet the horse thief?" This topic was too heavy, so Yun Shu quickly changed the subject.

"We, my mother-in-law, went to the county town yesterday to have a wedding. On the way back today, we were targeted by horse thieves for some reason. Fortunately, we met you two... You guys sit down for a while, and I'll go cook."

"My dear, let me help you." Yun Shu jumped up, patted the dust on his body, and followed him to the kitchen.

Jiang Li looked at Yun Shu's back suspiciously. Can she cook?

"Brother, can you teach me martial arts?" Douya had already finished feeding the chickens. When he saw Jiang Li in the yard, he ran over to talk to him.

Jiang Li wanted to tell him that his three-legged cat skills could not be taught to anyone. But seeing the expectant look on his face, he could only touch his head and said with a smile: "You are still too young.

When you grow up, I will teach you."

"How big will it be? My mother said, I have grown up."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and pointed to the old locust tree in the courtyard, "Whenever you can touch the branches above, I will teach you."

After Douya heard this, he immediately ran over, jumped up and touched the branches of the tree. But no matter how he jumped, it was just a little bit wrong.

Jiang Li looked at his clumsy and stubborn look with a smile. At this time, Yun Shu walked out of the kitchen with a helpless look. Jiang Li saw her like this. Sure enough, she was not a person who knew how to cook.

Most probably he was kicked out by his wife.

"Hey, cooking is so difficult!" Yun Shu sat down on the ground, "Hey, Jiang Li, can you cook?"

"Me? I can cook at the age of seven." Jiang Li said that since he was a child, Jiang Li had lived with Xun Ji and lived a very poor life. Sometimes when Xun Ji went out, he had to cook by himself. Poor people

It is not completely unreasonable to say that the children will take charge of the family early.

"Just brag. This time when I go back, I must learn to cook so that my father...father can see what I am capable of!" Yun Shu realized that he was speechless and quickly covered his mouth and turned to look at Jiang Li.

I was relieved when I found that his expression didn't change.

"Bean sprouts, stop jumping, you can't touch it."

"Brother, I'm almost touching it!" Douya responded stubbornly.

Jiang Li shook his head. This kid's energy was so strong that he couldn't pull it back.

"I'm so tired." Finally, Douya collapsed on the ground sweating profusely, and said unwillingly: "It's just a little bit close!"

After saying that, he got up, came to Jiang Li, and asked with a hopeful look on his face: "Brother, can you show me your swordsmanship? It's the move you just used on the bad guy."

Yun Shu looked at him with interest from the side.

Jiang Li looked at them and knew he couldn't shirk it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

"Yeah!" Douya jumped happily.

Jiang Li put down his sword case and took out the crane.

Yun Shu glanced at He Gui and suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. She knew that this sword was definitely not an ordinary thing.

"Hey, why don't you get out of your sheath?"

When Jiang Li heard this, he shook his head and said, "It won't be unsheathed anymore." Xun Ji had told him that the outer sword should hide its edge, and that the crane should not be unsheathed unless necessary.

Jiang Li stood still with his sword raised, and used the sword he practiced every night. With each swing, the wind and sand shook; with each slash, fallen leaves flew.

What a good man in green robe and young man with jade sword!

Douya watched on the sidelines and clapped repeatedly, and Yun Shu held his little face in both hands, looking at the heroic Jiang Li in front of him with a smile, and said silently in his heart: "This guy is pretty good.

"

"It's time to eat." The young lady came out of the kitchen and washed her hands in the basin on the floor. "Come in and eat."

"Oh, let's eat!" Douya ran in jumping up and down.

Jiang Li and Yun Shu walked in and took a look at the table. There were not many dishes, only three, but they killed a chicken, which showed that the lady was careful. Ordinary farmers would not kill chickens if there was no big deal.

food.

The four of them were talking and laughing at the dinner table. After the meal, Jiang Li originally planned to go back to the inn in the city, but Xiao Niang and Dou Ya wanted to keep them overnight.

"Sir, you and Dou Ya will sleep in the same room tonight, and Miss Yun and I will sleep in the same room." Unable to stand Dou Ya's insistence, Jiang Li had no choice but to agree to stay.

Several people had dinner and chatted in the courtyard. The moon was in the sky, and Yun Shu said she was tired, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After Jiang Li washed up, he returned to the room and found that Dou Ya had already fallen asleep. Jiang Li smiled when he saw this, he must be tired from dancing.
