Dumb gradually woke up from his coma. The glaring light made him squint his eyes. The constant pain stimulated his nerves. It seemed to be a simple room. The layout of the room was very simple. There was only a table and a few chairs in the surroundings. There were some farming tools hanging on the wall. The glaring light came from outside the window. In the haze, Dumb murmured, "Where, where am I?"
"You are in my house." A middle-aged man walked to Dumb. He was dressed in simple clothes. There were traces of wind and frost on his face. He looked like an honest farmer. "Brother, how did you end up like this? You are really in a sorry state!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Dumby couldn't help but recall the situation before he fainted. He kept running, falling and getting up, falling and getting up again. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when his body and will couldn't take it anymore, he finally fell to the ground and passed out. This was all his previous memory. "Uncle, did you save me?"
"Uncle? Brother, you don't look younger than me. Why are you calling me uncle? "
Dumb was stunned. He subconsciously touched his face and was surprised to find that his beard was more than an inch long. He struggled to sit up and said with a bitter smile, "Uncle, I am actually only in my twenties!"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Ah! I really couldn't tell! Little brother, you are in such a sorry state. I was chopping firewood in the mountain just now. I found you fainted on the ground, so I carried you back. How did you end up like this? Did you meet a robber? "
Dumb didn't know how to explain to the middle-aged man. He could only say, "Yes, I met a robber."
The middle-aged man was a simple farmer. He didn't delve into Dumb's background. He smiled and said, "Are you feeling better? Get up and wash your face. Eat something. I think you must be hungry. "
Dumb nodded and said, "Thank you for saving me. I seem to be a little hungry." Even he himself did not know how long it had been since he had eaten. Although True Qi could sustain his life, people still needed to eat.
When the middle-aged man heard Dumb's words, he laughed and said, "Well, you wash up first. I'll get you something to eat." After that, he turned around and walked out of the simple room.
Dumb silently circulated his True Qi. He was surprised to find that he still had 60% of his True Qi left. After so many days of consumption, his power had not been exhausted.
Dumby's current situation was actually a reflection of the greatest characteristic of True Qi. Although Dumb's energy consumption was very fast, his power had after all reached the peak of the Vitality Mantra. The self-circulation of the Vitality Mantra prevented him from suffering any injuries. Compared with the last time he left the Elf Forest, he was completely different now. This was why Xi Wen said that it would not be easy for him to die even if he wanted to.
After washing his face, shaving off his beard, and changing into a set of middle-aged clothes, Dumb felt much more refreshed. At this moment, his heart was already numb. After these days of pain, he could not think of any good ideas other than running away.
The middle-aged man lived in a small village. There was a small stream flowing beside the village, nourishing the surrounding paddy fields. After eating coarse food, Dumb's spirit was much better. His power had recovered a little, and he stretched his body. He could not help but think, since facing everything is so painful, why don't I spend the rest of my life here? This kind of peaceful life should be the most suitable for me.
"Brother, where are you from? Where did you come from? I can't tell, but you're quite strong. "
Dumb turned his head to look at him and smiled bitterly. Where was he from? As far as he could remember, he was in the Tenjin Empire, but he had the black hair and black eyes of the Sunset Empire and the Hwasin Empire. After thinking for a while, he muttered, "I can be considered a citizen of the Tenjin Empire. I'm from Ninuo City."
The middle-aged man was stunned. "Ninuo City? That's very far from here! I heard that it's cold all year round. You must be of mixed blood, right? Our Tenjin Empire is full of blond hair and blue eyes. "
Dumb said in surprise, "This is within the borders of the Tenjin Empire? I thought it was the Sunset Empire. "
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Of course this is within the borders of the Tenjin Empire. This place belongs to the Mica Province, and it's only about a hundred miles away from the provincial capital, Mica City. The nobles there all like to eat the rice we grow. They even say that it's some kind of green food that hasn't been polluted by fertilizers and industries."
Mica Province? What a familiar place! Dumb felt as if he had heard of this place before. Ninuo City, Mica Province. Ah! He suddenly remembered that the old woman who took the girl away from Ninuo City said that she was the wife of the governor of Mica Province. That means I'm very close to the girl now. Thinking of the girl, Dumb's heart couldn't help but burn with passion. The girl was, after all, the most important person in his heart than a steamed bun. Her position in Dumb's heart was second only to Xuanyue. He finally knew what he wanted to do.
"Uncle, does the governor of Mica Province live in Mica City?"
"Of course. Which governor doesn't live in the provincial capital?"
"Then, can you tell me how to get to Mica City? I want to go there to take a look. "
"Of course. You can go straight north from here and you'll reach Mica City. Little brother, looking at your current appearance, you look very down and out! What are you going there for? "
Dumb looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I, I'm going to look for someone."
That night, Dumb left a few diamond coins at the middle-aged man's house and left the simple village under the cover of the night. Although he was very grateful to the middle-aged man for saving him, he knew that if he left too much money for the middle-aged man, it would affect his normal life. It was better to let him live a peaceful life.
It was already October. Although the Mica Province was located in the middle of the continent, the nights were still a little chilly. Dumby glided lightly through the air. He removed the battle energy that was protecting his body, allowing the wind to caress his irritation. I haven't seen this girl for almost ten years. I wonder what she has become now. Perhaps, she has already forgotten about me. Due to the sorrow in his heart, Dumb couldn't help but think of the worst.
The scenery on both sides of him kept flowing past him. He didn't move very fast. As he hurried along, he adjusted the vital energy in his body. After the golden body reached six inches, it seemed to have undergone a qualitative change. Under Dumb's urging, it constantly emitted surging energy that circulated around his body. Although he wasn't meditating and cultivating, the energy he had expended in the past few days was quickly replenishing.
A distance of more than 50 kilometers was nothing to Dumb. Even though he wasn't running at full speed, he could already see the tall city walls of Mica City in half an hour.
Mica City was strategically located. High mountains stood on both sides, forming a semicircle around the entire city. It was like a sleeping Buddha lying at the foot of a mountain, appearing very quiet. The 20-meter-wide moat in front of the city had already been closed off. This kind of city with its back to the mountains and the water in front of it had an extremely strong defense. Both Mica Province and the neighboring Tulu Province were important military areas of the Tenjin Empire. Next to the provincial capital of Mica Province, there were 30,000 soldiers stationed there to defend it. These soldiers were the elite troops under the direct command of the Governor of Mica Province. They possessed extremely strong combat abilities.
Looking at the vast city in front of him, Dumb stopped anxiously. Memories of his childhood with the girl kept flashing through his mind. He seemed to have returned to the days when he had to endure the cold and hunger in Ninuo City. Uncle Li's greed, his companions' indifference, and the little girl's weakness were all so clear in his mind. “
"Brother Dumb, it's so painful to be alive!"
"Little girl, this is for you. Once you're full, it won't hurt anymore."
"Brother Dumb, why are you so nice to me?"
"Did I treat you well? Hurry up and eat your steamed buns. I won't feel cold after eating the steamed buns. I still have to go get the fish later. "
The girl looked at Dumb's honest face and couldn't help feeling a bit silly. She used some strength to split the bun into two and gave one to Dumb.
Dumb swallowed his saliva and said, "I, I'm not hungry. You can eat by yourself."
The girl stuffed the steamed bun into Dumb's hand and said, "I have a small appetite, I can't eat that much. Let's eat together. "As she said that, she held the quarter of the steamed bun with both hands and took a big bite.
Dumb grunted and wolfed down the quarter of the steamed bun. Because he ate too quickly, he couldn't help but choke. "Ah, woo …"
The girl looked at Dumb's red face and couldn't help but chuckle. She patted his back and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it into Dumb's mouth.
Dumb tried his best to turn the snow into water. After a long time, he finally swallowed the dry steamed bun in his throat. He let out a long breath and patted his chest, saying, "Thank you!"
"Brother Dumb, when I grow up, I'll marry you, okay?"
"What do you mean marry?"
"Marry means I want to be your wife and take care of you for the rest of your life! I'll take it as you've agreed. You can't go back on your word. From now on, this girl is Dumb's fiancée. You have to treat me well in the future. "
"Fiancée? Oh, okay. Then I'll give you more steamed buns every day. "
Fiancée? Is this girl my fiancée? Does she still remember the promise from before? If she still remembers, what should I do? If she doesn't remember, what should I do? When he reached the outskirts of Mica City, Dumb couldn't help but shrink back. He was really afraid that he would face another blow when he saw the girl.
After a long time, Dumb finally made up his mind. He decided to go into the city to see the girl. He only needed to hide in the dark and look at her once. If she was living a good life, he wouldn't disturb her. If she was living in pain, he would save her from the abyss of suffering. After thinking it through, Dumb suddenly felt enlightened. He floated up and easily crossed the moat, arriving at the foot of Mica City.
The security of Mica City was very tight. Even at the moat outside the city, there were several groups of soldiers patrolling. Dumb looked left and right. Before the patrolling soldiers arrived, he sank his fighting energy and shot up into the sky like a cannonball. Usually, although he used his combat energy to fly, he had never flown too high. Now, seeing the land under his feet gradually becoming smaller and the tall city wall of Mica City becoming a narrow strip, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of pleasure in his heart. Although he was more than 300 meters above the ground, Dumb didn't feel any signs of his fighting energy weakening. He easily controlled his fighting energy and flew toward Mica City.
It was late at night, and most of the places in Mica City were dark. Dumb thought that the girl should be in the governor's office in Mica Province. Since it was the governor's office, it must be very big. He would start looking for a place with a larger area. With his amazing eyesight, he quickly found a large courtyard near the mountain behind Mica City. The courtyard had its back to the mountain and was about tens of thousands of square meters wide. Dumb controlled his body to descend and looked into the courtyard. He saw groups of patrolling soldiers, the weapons in their hands flashing with Cold Light. Although it was only a night patrol, the soldiers looked full of energy. It was obvious that they were well-trained soldiers. Other than the governor's office, why would there be soldiers patrolling anywhere else in Mica City? It seemed that he had found the right place.
Quietly landing on a fake mountain in the courtyard, the elder brother used the surrounding terrain to repel his body and looked around. Next to the fake mountain was a small bamboo forest. There was nothing out of the ordinary. The bamboo forest rustled in the wind, and under the clear light, the shadows of the trees appeared on the ground. Dumb entered the bamboo forest. He didn't know where to start, so he could only feel his way to the edge of the bamboo forest and look at the houses in the governor's office.
Most of the houses were quiet, and there were only a few places that had faint light. When a group of patrolling soldiers passed by, Dumb floated up and landed on the roof ridge of the house. He didn't make a sound. Taking a deep breath, he urged the Golden Body in his body to float to his head and expand his hearing. All sorts of messy noises entered his ears. He tried to distinguish these sounds. After a while, a sound from a house in the east attracted Dumb's attention. He controlled his hearing to move toward that house. There were two people talking in the room, a man and a woman. To be precise, they were teasing each other. The man said, "Rongrong, your skin is so smooth! It feels so comfortable. "
The woman snorted and panted a little. "You're so annoying. Don't touch me there! Hmph, how am I compared to your fake sister? "
The man smiled apologetically. "Of course you're much better. How can a lowly person like her compare to you, the daughter of a rich family? Don't always mention her when we're together. "
"Hmph, don't play dumb in front of me. Let me tell you, if you don't chase her out of the governor's mansion, I won't marry you. You do as you see fit. "
"Don't, Rongrong, don't be like this. After all, she's my grandmother's adopted granddaughter. Nominally, she's also my sister. Moreover, she's sick now. I can't be too cruel. "
The girl said disdainfully, "Don't pretend in front of me. You've done things worse than this. Are you still afraid of chasing her out of the house? Thinking of how you hit her, I'm really afraid that the same thing will happen to me. I don't care. Anyway, you're going to chase her out of the mansion tomorrow morning. I'll help you talk to your grandparents. Based on my grandfather's friendship with them, they'll have to give you some face. "
"Okay, okay, okay. My little grandaunt, I'll chase her out tomorrow morning. Is that okay? Don't worry, I'll treat you well in the future. Come on, I can't wait. "
The girl's moans rang out. The sound of limbs entangling and clothes tearing made Dumb's ears redden. The conversation between the man and the woman was exceptionally familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Especially the man's voice. Frowning, Dumb quietly moved to the eaves of the room where the voice came from and looked around. No one had discovered him. Driven by curiosity, he carefully lifted the tiles on the roof and looked inside. He saw a man and a woman, two white sheep like bodies constantly rolling up and down on the large bed. This was the first time he saw such a situation. Dumb's heart suddenly sped up and he hurriedly turned his head away. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and turned his head to look inside the room again. He was surprised to find that he actually knew the two people rolling up and down together. The man was the white-clothed youth he had seen in Tulu City, and the woman was the granddaughter of Tulu Province's governor, Filgate, Meng Rong. Dumb thought in surprise, 'Why are they together? That white-clothed youth is called Tiro or something. Where's the girl that was with him? Aren't they a couple? '
A thought flashed through Dumby's mind. Connecting it to the conversation between the two of them, Dumby suddenly understood. The girl that the man and woman said they wanted to chase away was most likely the one who had been with Tylo the last time, the one who had given him alms. Why was Tiro in the governor's office in Mica Province? Could it be that he had some relationship with this place? An ominous premonition rose in Dumb's heart. He seemed to think of something, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
While Tiro and Rong Rong were in the room, Dumb suddenly heard another voice in the governor's office. It was a sorrowful voice. "Miss, Miss, wake up!"
Dumby was shocked. The voice seemed to tug at Dumby's heart. He subconsciously flew up and leaped in the direction of the voice. The voice came from a very small room in a corner of the governor's office. A young girl's sobs constantly echoed in the room. But because it was very remote, the patrolling soldiers didn't notice it. Dumb floated to the roof, hooked his toes on the eaves of the room, and lowered his body to look into the room. A young girl in a pink dress with two small braids on her head was crying on the bed. From the side, the young girl's appearance could be considered delicate and pretty. Dumb's gaze turned to the bed, and his whole body shook. The girl lying on the bed was the girl that had been with Tiro in Tulu Province. But her face was abnormally pale, and she didn't have the spirit of that day. Seeing the girl's appearance, Dumb felt as if there was a big stone in his heart. He tiptoed, went through the window, and landed lightly behind the girl in pink.
The girl in pink was completely in grief, and didn't realize that there was someone behind her. She was still sobbing. The elder brother looked at the pale Tifuya on the bed and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. From Tifuya's weak breathing, Dumb could clearly feel that she was in danger and could die at any moment. "What's wrong with her?"
Dumb's low voice scared the girl in pink. She suddenly turned around and was about to shout, but Dumb covered her mouth. Dumb said in a low voice, "Don't shout, I mean no harm. I'm her friend. Tell me, what's wrong with her? "
The panic in the girl in pink's eyes gradually disappeared, and she blinked at Dumb. Dumb let go of his hand, and the girl in pink looked at him in horror. She took two steps back to protect Tifuya, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who, who are you? What do you want? Did the young master send you to deal with Miss? "
Dumb frowned and said, "I've already said, I'm a friend of your Miss. Tell me, what's wrong with her? "
The girl in pink's vigilance didn't disappear. She wiped the tears on her face and said with hatred, "It must be the young master who sent you. You guys are so hateful! You've already hurt Miss so badly, and you still won't stop? If you want to kill, kill me first. "She opened her arms and stood in front of Tifuya, staring at Dumb with hatred.
Dumby felt that Tifuya's breathing was getting weaker and knew that he couldn't delay any longer. With a wave of his hand, a white Combat Aura shot out and instantly sealed the pink-clothed girl who had no strength to even truss a chicken. His left hand sucked and released, bringing Tifuya's body to the side, and he sat down where the girl in pink had been. He pulled Tifuya's arm from under the quilt and used his own vital qi to check the breath in her body. Shock flashed through Dumb's eyes. Tifuya's situation was much more serious than he had imagined. Her body could only be described as deteriorating. All the functions in her body were almost exhausted, and only her weak heartbeat proved that she was still alive. Her situation was much worse than when the Phoenix Slayer had been injured by His Lord that day. Other than the fact that she was still breathing, she was no different from a dead person. A silver light floated out of Dumb's palm and turned into a silver belt of light. He quickly pointed at Tifuya and her surroundings a few times, the believer's vital qi stimulating the organs in her body. At the same time, his other hand constantly transferred a huge amount of vital qi into Tifuya's body, nourishing her failing organs and meridians.
After a while, Tifuya's face revealed a trace of red, and she seemed to be a little better. Only now did the maid realize that Dumb had no ill intentions towards Tifuya. The resentment in her eyes immediately disappeared, and she excitedly watched Tifuya's movements.
Dumb took out the Dragon God's Blood from his bosom and softly chanted the strongest light recovery spell he could use. "With the Dragon God's Blood as a guide, Great God! I beg you, give me your endless power to save the life in front of me, and let her regain her vitality. " A blue halo flowed out of the Dragon God's Blood, gradually turning white in midair. A holy aura filled the room. Dumb continued to chant, "Light of Recovery, I command you in the name of God to release all your energy and lend me your healing power to heal the wounds in front of me and restore a new life. God's Healing. "This is a level-seven light recovery spell. Although its power is far from the Divine Healing Spell that Xuanyue and Pope used in the past, it is much stronger than the Light Healing that Dumb and Phoenix Slayer used.
A white hexagram appeared in front of Dumb, and in the center of the hexagram, a golden light appeared. The golden runes on the Dragon God's Blood lit up. With the support of Dumb's continuous transfer of vital qi, he finally succeeded in modifying this level-seven recovery spell. The golden light suddenly shone, and the intense light caused Dumb and the maid to temporarily push the divine light. The powerful golden light suddenly shot into Tifuya's chest. Under the injection of the golden light, Tifuya's delicate body trembled violently, and her pale face was covered in the golden light. She looked much more comfortable.
The golden light gradually faded, and Dumb and the maid regained their vision. He once again transferred vital qi into Tifuya's body, feeling her changes nervously. After a while, the elder brother's expression changed. Although the divine power of the God's Healing spell was very effective, it only healed most of Tifuya's internal injuries. The damaged organs were not completely repaired, especially the qi and blood that she had lost. There was no sign of improvement at all. Recovery spells had a very obvious effect on injuries, but for Tifuya's serious illness, it was not very effective. Even if Pope personally used the Divine Healing Spell, it would be almost impossible to cure Tifuya's multiple injuries. Looking at the kind-hearted girl in front of him, Dumb's eyes revealed a trace of sorrow. He had tried his best. Even if he transferred all the vital qi in his body into Tifuya's body, he would not be able to save her life.
With a wave of his hand, Dumb undid the maid's restriction and sighed. "I'm sorry, I've tried my best. As the saying goes, medicine cannot cure an illness. Only the fated can be saved. Your young miss's illness is really too serious. Sigh, my condolences. " Although he and Tifuya were only fated for a hundred years, Dumb always felt that Tifuya was very similar to him. Unable to save her, Dumb felt very sad.
The maid knelt in front of Dumb and cried bitterly. "Sir, sir, please save my young miss. You must have a way. Young miss is suffering! Please save her. "
Dumb was about to speak when he heard Tifuya coughing on the bed. He hurriedly accelerated the vital qi in his body and transferred it into her body. Given her current condition, it was already not easy for her to wake up temporarily. Under the white light, Tifuya's delicate face showed a trace of red again. Her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her gray eyes.
Dumb softly called out, "Young miss, how are you? Do you have anything you want to say? "
Hearing Dumb's voice, Tifuya's lifeless eyes slowly looked towards the ground. When she saw Dumb's face, her originally weak body seemed to be injected with vitality again. The blush on her face increased, and her beautiful eyes also seemed to have some spirit. She weakly and tremblingly said, "Dumb, Dumb … Brother, am … I … not … dreaming …? Am … Am … I … already … dead? "
Hearing Tifuya's words, Dumb's whole body shook. He lost his voice and said, "What, what did you call me? How do you know my name? "
Tifuya said intermittently as if she was in a dream, "Brother … Dumb … Is it … really … you …? I … am so … lucky! Finally … able to … see … you … again … Don't you … remember … me? I, I … am … a … girl … Ah! "
Tifuya's words were like a bolt from the blue, heavily bombarding Dumb's heart. He never would have thought that this girl in front of him who was on the verge of death was actually his childhood friend, the first person more important than steamed buns. And also his fiancee – a girl. His whole body violently convulsing, tears pouring out of his eyes, Dumb trembled and said, "You, you are a girl? Are you really a girl? "
Tifuya's whole body slightly trembled. "Ah … Dumb, Dumb … But … it's me! I … am … a … girl … Ah! Do you remember … the last time … when … you … left … Tulu … City? You said you … were called Dumb … I also … recognized … you … at that time … after not seeing … you … for so many years … you … actually … learned … such … good … martial … skills. Girl is … really … happy … Ah! Ah … Brother Dumbo … I … miss you … so much … I miss you … so much … Why … did you … also … die … Did … we … meet … in … Hell … Hell … God …
Dumb tightly grasped Tifuya's small hand and murmured, "No, you're not dead, girl, you're not dead yet. Why, why did you become like this, tell me, why did you become like this. Who did this to you? " He couldn't help but recall the conversation between Tiro and Rongrong, and seemed to have understood something.
The girl mournfully said, "Ah … Brother Dumb … no … who … harmed me … It's … I … I … didn't … have … good … luck … Ah! … Brother … Dumb … I … regret … I … regret … I … regret … that I … should … have … coveted … wealth … and followed … grandma … to … leave … you … If … if … we … had … always … stayed … in … Ni … Nuo … Xiao … City … Maybe … now … we … could … still … live … happily … together … even if … we … don't … eat … full … and wear … warm … clothes … I … am … willing! Brother … Dumby … I really … really … really … want … to … go back … to … when … we … were … young … when … we … led … fishes … together … "At this point, the girl started coughing violently. Mouthfuls of purplish-black blood flowed out of her mouth.
