Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining naturally knew about Mu Jinghu's difficulties. He is a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. Since he promised his master to protect Tianjizi's safety, he will not go back on his word. It was extremely rare to be able to rescue them against Tianjizi's wishes this time. Naturally, Qin Yining couldn't let go of Mu Jinghu, even though they now needed the protection of a person with strong martial arts skills like Mu Jinghu.

At this time, Lu Heng had already relied on his fluent Tatar language and superb communication skills to make the Minuo tribe present have a great impression of them. After chatting for a while, Qin Yining whispered to Lu Heng about asking Mu Jinghu to go back.

Lu Heng smiled and explained to the clan members. Although she didn't understand what he said, Qin Yining was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief seeing the understanding smiles on everyone's faces.

Lu Heng turned back to Mu Jinghu and said in Zhou dialect: Since the elders in your family still need your care, go back quickly. Thank you for your help today. He saluted Mu Jinghu.

Mu Jinghu returned the favor and said, I feel very guilty that I can't continue to protect you.

Lu Heng smiled and said: You have helped us a lot, why do you still feel guilty? If you want to feel guilty, it is because we have brought you down and dragged you into such a chaotic situation.

Mu Jinghu was not good at words, let alone talking about these scenes, so he just smiled shyly and said goodbye to Lu Heng and Qin Yining again.

Chagan Bala stood up and took Mu Jinghu out through the side door.

Halbala then took Lu Heng and Mu Jinghu to a room at the back of the big house, We have too many people here, and all the rooms are given to women and children, and the rest are crowded in front to warm themselves by the fire. I think you two are not used to resting together with others, so just sleep here for the night. Later I will try to contact the clan members and find a way to escape together.

Lu Heng smiled and said, Okay, that's your arrangement.

Harbala smiled and left.

Qin Yining already had a fever at this time. The whip marks on her body were deep and shallow. After the initial burning period, now even a finger could touch the wound, and she frowned in pain. In front of others, she could still maintain her tightness and not show any flaws, but now she no longer needed to endure it.

Seeing Qin Yining's face, Lu Heng knew it must be her wound that was hurting. He helped her sit down on the floor covered with hay and worn sheets. Lu Heng asked worriedly: Are you okay? Are you having a fever?

Qin Yining was trembling, hugging the package and huddled in the cold corner, and said with a forced smile: It's okay, the wound is inflamed and fever is normal. I have a good foundation, just rest and I'll be fine.

I'll ask them for firewood, and I'll light a fire here and boil some hot water for you to drink. Lu Heng was about to go out immediately.

Qin Yining hurriedly pulled the hem of his robe, Don't bother. The Minuo tribe was treated terribly by Anari. Didn't you see that nearly thirty people were gathered around a fire in the front hall? I want to come to their place, firewood It’s not something you can use casually.”

No, you're seriously injured now and you're still feverish. We can't be careless. At least we need to let you drink clean hot water. We finally escaped. If we lose your life because of such a little thing, do you think it's worth it? ?

Qin Yining was trembling uncontrollably, and even his fingertips were so cold that he couldn't help but clenched them into fists.

Seeing that she was getting weaker, Lu Heng hurriedly went out to communicate with Halbala and Chaganbala.

When the two of them heard that Qin Yining was whipped by Anari, they both shook their heads sadly, We have no medicine here, all the men in our tribe have been killed, and the old and weak women and children work for the female devil, and they always ask for more. After being beaten*, many people have died from the wounds--\u003e\u003e

Fever caused by dyeing... I'm going to find a way to get some firewood for you. You can use it first, but we don't have a doctor here, and we can't afford one.

The two teenagers' faces suddenly wrinkled up in worry.

It would be good if we could give her some hot water. Besides, we killed the female khan and there are chasing soldiers outside to search. We don't dare to ask the doctor to attract attention. Lu Heng said.

The two young men nodded, helped to carry firewood, went to the back room to light a fire, and set up an old clay pot to boil water.

Qin Yining was already in a semi-conscious state, huddled in the corner and tried to shrink himself into a ball.

By the light of the fire, Lu Heng saw the cold sweat on her forehead, her abnormally flushed face, and her pale lips. He was anxious for a moment and couldn't care less about the male-female defense. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her forehead and probed. Checked her body temperature.

So hot!

Qin Yining's injuries were all hastily bandaged by herself. The medicine must not have been applied properly. The wounds actually needed to be cleaned and re-medicated.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng went out to seek help again. Fortunately, the people here were all old, weak, women and children. There were several grandmothers who had experience in treating wounds and were willing to help.

Lu Heng hid outside and asked the old ladies to help Qin Yining clean the wound and apply medicine again.

Harbala leaned close to Lu Heng and whispered: I thought you and that fairy-like woman were a couple. I can see that you care about her very much. Why don't you take this opportunity to take good care of her? This can also cultivate feelings and make her appreciate you.

Lu Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: You don't know, she is already married. This time she was captured by Anari and Siqin. Although I am interested in her, she has a noble temperament and is loyal to her husband. I also I don’t want to take advantage of her, let alone force her. If I stay to take care of her today, she will indeed be grateful to me, but she will also alienate me.

Chagan Bala smiled after hearing this and said, You have so many rules. If this were left to our Minuo tribe, girls and warriors who like it can take the initiative to pursue it. If two people are not in harmony together, they can also talk to the clan leader. After applying for separation, everyone will be free and can go find others. I heard that the women among you will commit suicide if someone touches them?

That's not that serious. Ordinary people have women showing up in order to make a living. Our place has just come out of the war and has not been stable for two years. Those noble rules can only be used by noble people, like us. These ordinary people cannot be restrained by this. But what we consider more is morality.

Morality, indeed, only those of us at the bottom who are suffering have this kind of mentality. Noble people, like the female khan, never consider morality or immorality when doing things. He only thinks about whether he is comfortable or not.

Fortunately, the female devil is dead.

Yes. It's all thanks to you two.

Brothers Lu Heng and Chaganbala looked at each other and smiled.

Qin Yining struggled for most of the night, and in the early morning of the next day, the fever gradually subsided.

Seeing this, Lu Heng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the following days, they hid in Minobu's house. The streets were under martial law and they did not dare to walk around at will. They could only gradually inquire about some outside news.

At this time, in Prince Zhongshun's Mansion in the capital city of Great Zhou Dynasty, Pang Xiao looked at the note in his hand and started to tremble all over.

Alive, she is still alive! Did you see, she is still alive!
