"Huhu"
Gu Zheng heard the sound of someone blowing air into his ear. Then, he felt his head being lifted up by a pair of soft hands. He smelled the fragrance of grass. Then, he felt hot water being fed into his mouth. However, there was a strange taste in the hot water. It seemed to be some herbs mixed in with it.
The temperature of the hot water was very suitable. Every time the blowing sound stopped, a spoonful was fed into his mouth. Soon, Gu Zheng's head was put down here, and the person next to him also walked away.
With the sound of the door being closed, the whole room returned to silence again.
Gu Zheng, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at his surroundings in a daze. The simple wooden house suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"Was I saved by someone?"
After a long time, Gu Zheng came back to his senses. There was still a faint fragrance of grass in the air. Then, he remembered that he fell here and was rescued by someone, and the moment when he was brought out from the void by the kitten. However, it seemed that he was still brushed by the aftermath and fainted.
"Where is the kitten?"
Gu Zheng suddenly thought of this question, and then suddenly sat up. Only then did he realize that he had changed into a green robe, but it seemed to be a little too big, and it didn't fit him well. Of course, all the things on his body were gone.
Feeling his body, it seemed that he had completely recovered, but it seemed that he had been lying down for too long and felt that his body was a little stiff. However, as the spiritual power in his body circulated, the discomfort completely disappeared.
His eyes looked around this small room, and the next moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. On the shabby table in the distance, there was a wooden box with sword intent. Two beads were firmly placed there, and next to it, there were some sundries. They were Gu Zheng's belongings, and they were not lost.
Subconsciously, he glanced at his left and right arms. The five rings were still on them, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
Coming to the old table, Gu Zheng picked up one of the golden beads. There was the aura of the kitten on it, but he didn't know why it became like this.
As he probed it with his aura, a message came from inside, and he was completely relieved. The kitten was just a little exhausted and was resting.
Speaking of which, Kitten had helped him a lot. It was just a pity that because of what had happened before, he had sealed his heart.
After sighing slightly, Gu Zheng looked at the other black ball. He remembered that he did not have this thing on him, so why was it placed here?
He reached his hand inside, wanting to see what it was.
But just as Gu Zheng reached out to touch the black bead, the entire bead exploded into a cloud of black mist with a bang. The black mist quickly spread up along Gu Zheng's arm.
Gu Zheng reflexively conjured up a protective barrier around his body, and at the same time, a golden light flashed in his hand as he grabbed toward his opponent.
However, before he could grab it, the black fog had already penetrated his defenses and condensed around his waist, slowing his movements.
"Good, good dragon?"
Gu Zheng looked at the bottle at his waist and was stunned. A black and somewhat familiar Good Dragon was roaming inside. It was no longer as lifeless as before. Now, it was obvious that it had woken up from its deep sleep.
This bottle was obviously an illusion of the other party, and even the color of its body had changed.
Why did it feel like there was an experience that he did not know about, as if he had forgotten it?
Gu Zheng frowned and painstakingly tried to recall. However, even after an incense stick's worth of time, he still didn't have a clue. One had to know that when he came down, the good dragon was clearly still in the bottle.
Looking at the Good Dragon swimming around happily, he reached out his hand to see what was going on. At a glance, it was as if the whole world had changed.
The Good Dragon seemed to understand Gu Zheng's intention. Before Gu Zheng's hand could reach down, the small bottle in front of it turned into a cloud of black light and entered its body. Then, its whole body came up and rubbed back and forth on Gu Zheng's palm to show its intimacy.
Gu Zheng looked at the black loach-like creature in front of him. He never thought that the other party would really wake up. He could clearly feel the other party's dependence on him, just like a baby that had just been born. But even so, he still sent a message to it, wanting to understand.
However, Gu Zheng quickly shook his head. The Good Dragon only sent a lot of puzzlement and meaning that he did not understand.
But no matter what, it was good that it woke up. At least when he faced Elder Gu, he could pat his chest and say that he did not disappoint the other party.
Thinking of Elder Gu, he remembered that the other party rushed in with Wen Tianhou. He did not know what happened to the other party. Of course, the biggest possibility was that the other party was killed by Wen Tianhou. After all, this was the other party's home ground.
Gu Zheng's ears twitched, then he gently patted the Good Dragon's little head. He would ask about it later. At this time, someone came.
Creak.
As the old door was opened, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old appeared outside the door with a basin of hot water and a clean towel.
"Young Master, you, you … you woke up." When the girl saw Gu Zheng standing there, her face was filled with surprise. Then, a touch of bright red rushed to her cheeks, and she said hesitantly.
Although this girl was dressed plainly, she was still considered beautiful. What Gu Zheng did not expect was that the other party's cultivation was not low, although it was only at the Middle-stage of the Fairy Immortal Realm.
"Thank you for taking care of me. May I know how long I was unconscious and where is this place?" Looking at the things in the other party's hand, coupled with the clear fragrance on the other party's body, how could he not know who had been taking care of him? He also smiled and said to the other party.
The girl's cheeks flushed red. At the same time, she lowered her head. Her palms were nervously holding the wooden basin, and her voice was a little evasive.
"No need, this is what I should do."
The voice was like a mosquito, squeezing out from the throat. If Gu Zheng had not recovered his cultivation at this time, he was afraid that he could not hear it clearly. Even so, he could barely understand the other party's meaning by guessing.
As for the other questions, looking at the other party's appearance, she probably did not think to answer.
"Am I not as charming as you think?"
Looking at the other party's appearance, Gu Zheng could also tell at a glance, but he thought in his heart.
The other party's appearance of being in love for the first time was too obvious. Moreover, she was very nervous, as if he could eat her up.
"Why don't you put down the wooden basin first?"
Seeing that the other party was still lowering her head, Gu Zheng said to the other party helplessly.
"Oh, oh, okay!"
The girl secretly raised her head a little. Seeing Gu Zheng move back a little and clear the table in front of him, she did not ask for another place to put it and directly put it on the table.
However, after putting it down, the girl lowered her head again. Only occasionally did she raise her head to look at Gu Zheng. When she found that the latter was also looking at her, her ears turned red and she did not know where to put her hands.
"Well, sit down first. Let's talk about it later."
Seeing the other party like this, Gu Zheng felt even more helpless in his heart. To be honest, he had only met the other party for the first time and had only spoken a few words. The other party was not an ordinary person, so why did she look like she had fallen for him?
Of course, he did not know the reason. On one hand, it was because he had taken care of her for a long time. On the other hand, he quickly understood.
The young girl obediently sat on the bed. The entire room was filled with a special atmosphere, which made Gu Zheng feel quite awkward. However, he patiently waited for a little while. Seeing that the young girl had more or less calmed down, he opened his mouth and asked.
"May I know your name?"
"You Yaoyou."
At this moment, the other party's head was still lowered. When she heard Gu Zheng's words, she subconsciously replied, but her voice was still very soft.
"Good name."
Gu Zheng praised. Seeing that the other party seemed to be even more restrained, as if he was the master, he swallowed the rest of his words and continued with a dry cough.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
It was better to ask one by one so that the other party would not forget.
"Young Master, you have been unconscious for a year. When you arrived, you were dripping with blood. It was frightening. We all thought that you were dead for sure. Fortunately, Young Master is lucky." You Yaoyou was not as nervous as before and spoke more fluently. However, she still did not dare to raise her head. She looked at the bottom of her feet, as if there was something worthy of her attention.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Miss You Yaoyou. My name is Gu Zheng. May I know where this is? Can you show me around? "
"But your body is still …"
You Yaoyou suddenly raised her head and wanted to say something. However, when she saw Gu Zheng's smile, her whole face flushed red again and she did not say anything.
"My body has completely recovered. Don't worry." Gu Zheng also urgently wanted to know where he was, although he knew in his heart that he should have fallen into the Black Prison.
You Yaoyou quickly glanced at Gu Zheng, then got down from the bed and stood in front of him. "Alright then. Young Master Gu, please follow me. There are a lot of rules here. Don't run around."
Gu Zheng followed Pomelo out the door. Although his strength had been restored, the strange thing was that there seemed to be an unknown power here that actually blocked his divine sense. At most, he could only sense a hundred feet around him. Any further and he would fall into a blur. He had no way of grasping the situation outside.
This was a quiet little village. The whole village did not look big. Other than a few dog barks coming from afar, there seemed to be no one in the village. Even as far as the eye could see, there was not a single person in sight.
On the left, there was a lush mountain forest, and on the right, there was an endless sea. Under the cover of the dark clouds in the sky, this was more like a secluded little village that stood aloof from worldly affairs.
"They've all gone to the seaside to fish, and some of the uncles have gone to the nearby fields. We're very far from the town, and we'll only go out once every three months. Usually, we'll just beg for food in the sea. It's been like this for generations," Pomelo explained from the side.
"Not bad, not bad. Away from the mundane world, at least we don't have to worry about those annoying mundane things." Gu Zheng felt the clear breath in his mouth. When he breathed in, his whole body could feel the primitive aura of life. It was full of spiritual energy.
But where exactly was this place? It did not look like a place with a warm climate. Of course, it was possible. After all, he had never seen it before.
"Isn't it? But it is also very boring here. There are ferocious beasts in the mountain forest far away. Usually, we don't dare to go there. The farther the sea is, the stronger the waves. I have never been out here, so I don't know what the outside world is like. But this year, I can go out with you and see the outside world."
You Yaoyou led the way in front so that she could speak freely.
"Do you know what the outside world is like? I was fighting with an enemy and was accidentally beaten to this place. "Gu Zheng looked at the mountain forest in the distance and felt a little strange. Then, he retracted his gaze and spoke again.
"I'm not too clear either. I only know that the nearest town to us is Datong Town. I don't know anything else. My father and the others are fishing there, and they are about to finish. Let me bring you there."
You Yaoyou seemed to have thought of something as she spoke. Then, she turned around and looked at Gu Zheng with her head held high.
However, when she met Gu Zheng's eyes, her face, which had returned to normal, turned slightly red again. Her eyes flickered, and she did not dare to face him. In the end, her voice became deeper and deeper.
"Alright, I have nothing to do anyway." Gu Zheng looked at such a pure girl and nodded his head. He did not refuse.
He could naturally feel that she did not want to do anything, which dispelled some of the worries in his heart.
But why was her cultivation level so high? And from her actions, she did not seem to have any foundation in cultivation.
"That's great." You Yaoyou was very happy. Then, she realized that she had been rude. She turned around and led the way. However, her slightly light steps showed that she could not suppress the excitement in her heart.
Gu Zheng smiled and followed behind her. He did not speak and looked around, feeling a sense of satisfaction that he had not felt in a long time.
He did not speak, but after walking for a while, You Yaoyou seemed to have recovered and began to chatter.
"We don't have many people here, and we haven't seen any strangers for a long time. That time, you suddenly appeared on the boat and gave everyone a fright. They almost stabbed you to death with their harpoons. Fortunately, my grandfather stopped them and saved you."
"Speaking of which, Young Master, you look gentle and thin, but you are not light. Brother Hu and the others had to pull you back together. However, some of the herbs were picked by me. My medical skills are excellent in the village."
"Because we can't go out to sea, and because we are constantly attacked by the waves, our ships are all connected together. Some of the cabins on the ships are used as temporary resting places. It looks like flat land on the sea. That's what the bottom means. Young Master, you'll know at a glance."
.....
Along the way, You Yaoyou was like a little bird. Her mouth did not stop for a moment, as if she had endless things to say. When they reached the sea, she stopped abruptly. The two of them stopped at the edge and looked ahead.
At this time, there was a huge piece of land in front of them. Crisscrossing wooden planks almost covered the entire coast. Only the occasional gap would splash some seawater.
Some long bamboo poles were inserted at various points, and below them were densely packed ropes to fix the connection points. Although the wind and waves were strong, there was not the slightest bit of shaking. It could be seen that a lot of effort had been put into this place.
At this time, the sky was getting darker. Although the sun could not be seen, it was clear that the sky would be completely dark in a few minutes.
On the largest deck in the middle, there were hundreds of people constantly busy. They collected the live women one by one. In the distance, there were some people fixing the boats and some people tidying up some miscellaneous things.
Everyone was focused on their own things. They did not even notice Gu Zheng coming over.
"The one in the middle is my grandfather. Let's go, I'll introduce you to him." You Yaoyou turned around and said to Gu Zheng excitedly. Then, without waiting for Gu Zheng's consent, she quickly ran over.
Gu Zheng could only follow behind helplessly. They were busy now. It would be rude to disturb them.
"Grandfather, grandfather."
You Yaoyou ran into the crowd and threw herself on an old man.
"Why are you here? Weren't you going over there? "
You Yaoyou's grandfather looked kind. When he saw that You Yaoyou was like a child who could not grow up, he could not help but scold her.
Although he said that, the smile at the corner of his eyes could not be concealed.
"Hehe, I didn't go because the person we saved has woken up. I specially brought him over to introduce you to him." You Yaoyou hugged her grandfather's arm and said coquettishly.
When she said that, everyone at the side stopped what they were doing and looked at Gu Zheng who was slowly walking over.
When Gu Zheng saw that so many people were looking at him, he maintained a smile on his face. However, he did not understand why they were looking at him strangely.
Although these people might have worked since they were young, their faces were full of hardships and they looked a little too mature. To be honest, those strong young men looked like middle-aged men in their thirties. It was no wonder that You Yaoyou was looking at him with such a loss of composure.
Some of the women were slightly better, but they were still average. You Yaoyou, who was originally beautiful, was probably the most beautiful scenery here.
After all, although he was not like Pan An, he still had some elegance.
However, he could understand the way those young men were looking at him. His appearance naturally made him their biggest rival, especially since You Yaoyou had taken care of him for so long.
Those middle-aged men were shouting and looking at him strangely. Even You Yaoyou's grandfather was looking at him strangely. This made Gu Zheng very puzzled.
However, although he was puzzled, the other party did save him. Gu Zheng came to a stop and cupped his hands politely. Just as he was about to say something, You Yaoyou's grandfather interrupted Gu Zheng with a cold snort. He then turned to You Yaoyou and said, "Who asked you to bring him here?
"Who told you to bring him here? Don't you know how to give instructions?"
"Grandfather, I …" When You Yaoyou heard that, her eyes immediately turned red. She wanted to say something but was interrupted again.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Bring him back immediately. You know what to do. Don't make things difficult for me," You Yaoyou said again.
"That's right, You Yaoyou. Don't make things difficult for the village chief. Look at the time. Hurry up and go back. Otherwise, the village chief will lose his temper."
"You Yaoyou, don't be naughty. Hurry up and bring him back. If there's anything that can't be said in the day, we can talk about it."
A few people at the side surrounded You Yaoyou and said all at once, not giving Gu Zheng a chance to speak.
You Yaoyou's eyes were red as she nodded at them. Then, she came in front of Gu Zheng and sobbed softly.
"Young Master Gu, let's go."
"Okay."
Gu Zheng looked at the people in front of him and felt that something was strange. He did not say anything and only nodded at You Yaoyou's grandfather before leaving with You Yaoyou.
