C220 My Heart Is Dead

He's a living man, but now he says he's a dead man. Wasn't he a madman? Bai Zi endured her embarrassment and anger and put the dagger back under her pillow. She knew that it was virtually impossible to kill Young Master Wuyue. Her only hope now was on one person.

The stream flowed rapidly from the top of the mountain, crossing the steep mountain range and rushing down. In the high and low places, it showed its surging momentum, but when it reached a peaceful place, it was as calm as the jade of a young lady, calm like water, neither arrogant nor rash.

At the end of the stream was a large expanse of calm water. The water was full of green mountain reflections. The green trees swayed about, blowing past with great might, making the pool seem peaceful and peaceful. No matter how turbulent the water was upstream, there was no way to see the power of the undercurrents here.

One or two leaves would fall from time to time and fall into the pond. Borrowing the cool breeze, they would happily swim on the surface of the water, like a small boat sailing in the middle of a big river and ocean, free and unfettered.

At this time, Xiao Nanfeng was sliding down the stream from upstream into the pond. The moment he landed, someone had already caught him. Therefore, the surface of the water was still very calm, and there was still not a single ripple.

Xiao Nanfeng was lying on a limestone slab. The wound on his chest was only two inches away from his heart. This was also the most dangerous wound, but it was precisely because of this wound that he was able to survive.

The corners of Xiao Nanfeng's mouth were constantly trembling. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, with wounds all over his body. However, he was still very lucky; not a single wound was fatal. Even after being washed by the stream and hit by the rocks many times, his life was still not taken away. There was nothing he could do about it if the King of Hell did not take his life.

The mysterious middle-aged man placed Xiao Nanfeng on the rock and stopped a few wounds on him. Xiao Nanfeng's physical strength gradually recovered, but he still did not wake up.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on Old Ma's bed. Smoke curled up from the kitchen. Mrs Ma had already prepared the millet porridge for him. Not only that, Old Ma also spent half a month's salary to buy a large piece of meat. He prepared to pickle this piece of meat and wait for Xiao Nanfeng to wake up before stewing it to supplement his body.

Xiao Nanfeng slightly opened his eyes. The wounds all over his body had been carefully bandaged, but the deepest wound was in his heart. He was not in the mood to look at this world anymore. He originally wanted to die just like that. If he unfortunately woke up, he would drink a lot and drink until he died.

But now he saw Old Ma and Mrs Ma's friendly smile. It was the most beautiful smile in the world. Xiao Nanfeng's heart suddenly melted. It was like an ice mountain that suddenly met a hot summer heat. It melted in an instant.

He looked at Old Ma and Mrs Ma with a smile, but there were tears of gratitude in his eyes. Old Ma held Xiao Nanfeng's hand and asked kindly, "How is it? Have you finished this matter, Ma Feng?"

Xiao Nanfeng's heart trembled again when he heard this name. He nodded heavily. "It's done. Everything is done. Next, I want to live a good life here. I want to work hard to earn money. I want to live a good life! "

Old Ma smiled and nodded. "The days of earning money are still long. The most important thing now is to have a good health. Without a good health, how can I earn money and live a good life?"

Xiao Nanfeng smiled and nodded. He did not know who sent him here. He did not ask and Old Ma did not mention it. He did not want to ask about this matter anymore. He wanted everything to end here. His new life was waiting for him.

After almost all of his injuries were healed, he started his old business with Old Ma again. However, the current market was getting worse and worse, because he couldn't enter Gusu City anymore. He could only do some work in the surrounding towns.

The money he had earned these days could barely make him a full meal. As for wanting to support his family, it was indeed a bit of a stretch. Xiao Nanfeng also understood this point. So he decided to open up a wasteland behind the house. Farming was something a person should have learned from birth, but unfortunately. . . He had picked up the knife with both hands since he was young and had only begun to slowly learn to put it down now.

Therefore, although the hoe looked very light, to Xiao Nanfeng, it was very light. Xiao Nanfeng spent a lot of effort to learn to farm.

He renovated the wasteland several times and spent two days to plant seeds of fruits and vegetables in the renovated land.

He knew that this was the most primitive way of living for humans. If they didn't have this way of living now, they probably wouldn't be able to survive this winter. The situation in Gusu City was very grim. Almost every day, the money in this place would become harder and harder to earn.

Old Ma and Xiao Nanfeng combined could not earn more than half of what they had earned in the past. So now they had to learn how to survive.

Without any income from the outside world, they could only be self-sufficient. After Xiao Nanfeng finished his work outside, he went home to manage this salt alkali land. Although the place was not big, it seemed especially warm. He built a shed at the end of the land, and a large bunch of corn sticks hung on the shed.

This was the symbol of bumper harvest. He wanted to have a big harvest. Even though he was not good at farming, he wanted to live now. When a person abandoned the past and wanted to start a new life, it was best not to disturb him. Perhaps his choice was the best for him.

Others might choose this kind of life and die of old age, but Xiao Nanfeng absolutely could not choose this kind of life because many people outside were waiting for him. Only he could save these people. Only he could resolve all the unfairness in the martial world. He absolutely couldn't retire just like that.

There were some people who were destined to not retreat once they bore some kind of responsibility. This was their fate, and they would never be able to change it. Xiao Nanfeng was such a person.

When Xiao Nanfeng and Old Ma returned with a smile, the middle-aged man was already standing at the door of Old Ma's house. There was a long blade in his arms and a long blade hanging from his waist. One look and one could tell that he was a master swordsman.

However, at this moment, he did not have the aura of a saber user at all. His face was full of defeat. Old Ma had never seen such a scene before. After Xiao Nanfeng led Old Ma into the house, he closed the house and walked out.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" As he spoke, he walked towards the wood-chopping courtyard. It was not because of anything else, but because there was a wood-chopping knife there.

The middle-aged man seemed to have lost all of his energy as he said with a trembling voice: "Young. . . Young Master Xiao, I am a subordinate of the Saber Emperor. My Lord is in imminent danger. I hope Young Master Xiao can save him. "

Xiao Nanfeng's expression was solemn, but he often let out a sigh. "I have already retired from the martial world. I will not interfere in the matters of the martial world. Besides, there are so many experts under the Saber Emperor. If they can't solve the problem, it would be even more impossible for me to solve it. "

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I am Ye Ju, perhaps you have never heard of this name, but my father, Ye Mei, you should have heard of it before. "

Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "Senior Ye Mei is a very famous person among the blade artists. He has been loyal and brave throughout his life. I met him once when I was young. I didn't expect you to be his son, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. "

Ye Ju shook his head. "My father is also an official in Imperial Realm. He has been loyal to the Saber Emperor for his entire life. However, it was precisely because of his loyalty that caused him to die a violent death. "

"What? Senior Ye is dead? What's wrong with him. . . ? " Xiao Nanfeng did not continue asking. " Oh, people have to die. It's just a matter of time before they die. Didn't that mean I was already dead in the past? "

Ye Ju sighed and said, "When he was alive, he didn't tell me anything. He only told me one thing, and that was to use my entire life to protect Imperial Realm and the Saber Emperor. Therefore, if Brother Xiao still has the slightest bit of respect for my father and my master, and if he still has the slightest bit of friendship with my young lady, I'll lend him a hand. "

Xiao Nanfeng sighed. "It's impossible for me to help. My hand can't even pick up a chopping knife, so how can I help? Senior Saber Emperor was blessed by the heavens. Nothing would happen to him. Besides, Young Master Wuyue is his son-in-law. How can I do anything to him? "

When Ye Ju heard Young Master Wuyue's name, he frowned. "Don't mention that beast! How could he be worthy of being my lord's son-in-law! He is a beast, a villain, a person who should be torn into pieces!"

Xiao Nanfeng let out a long sigh. "No matter what kind of person he is, he is indeed the son-in-law of Senior Saber Emperor. Doesn't that mean he has already married Bai Zi?"

Ye Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head. His eyes were filled with resentment. "This bastard. He imprisoned my family's young mistress and found the ugliest and dirtiest man in the world every day to humiliate my family's young mistress and then kill that man! This beast! " When he said this, his lips were already trembling. He wished that he could chop Young Master Wuyue to death right away.

Xiao Nanfeng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley once again. His hands were trembling uncontrollably. He had never thought that Bai Zi would end up like this. His eyes seemed to be moist. That innocent and lovely little sister of his was experiencing the greatest pain in the world now.

Xiao Nanfeng stammered. "She. . . She didn't resist?" Ye Ju bit his lips and cried, "That bastard said that as long as the young lady resists or kills herself, the master will die immediately! I really can't think of anything. . . There is actually such a vicious person in this world. "

Xiao Nanfeng slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to be able to feel that everything that Bai Zi had encountered at this moment was inhumane treatment. All of this should not have happened to Bai Zi.

However, he shook his head. "But I can't help her anymore. I, I can't leave this place anymore. " Ye Ju sighed. "Do you know how your life was left behind?"

Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "I know. Bai Zi did not stab me in the heart. She saved my life on purpose. " Ye Ju nodded. "Yes, but when the stream washed you to the pond, I saved you. "

Xiao Nanfeng stared at Ye Ju with his eyes wide open. He had always wanted to know who this man was. However, he didn't want to ask Old Ma. He was afraid that Old Ma would start to worry. Ye Ju smiled bitterly and said, "Of course. You don't have to thank me, because Miss arranged for me to wait for you there. This stream only has one exit, if you wait there. . . I will definitely be able to wait for you. Thus, my young lady treated Young Master Xiao. . . It can be said that she has deep feelings for him. "

Xiao Nanfeng sighed. "It's really difficult for her. I. . . " Xiao Nanfeng wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Old Ma's cough. "Feng, it's time to fertilize the land in the backyard. "

Xiao Nanfeng's heart was awakened again. He did not want to live that kind of life of fighting and killing again. He only belonged to this place now. He only belonged to that salt land.

He shook his head in pain. "You can leave. I have to stay here. I can't go anywhere else. " Ye Ju's expression became uglier and uglier. He didn't expect that Xiao Nanfeng would still refuse to leave the mountain at this point.

This indicated that Xiao Nanfeng had made up his mind. Ye Ju finally nodded his head. "I respect your choice. If you don't want to do something, I naturally won't force you to do it. But by the way, my lord said that if he is in trouble, there is only one person who can save him, and that is Xiao Nanfeng. "

After saying this, Ye Ju left without looking back. Xiao Nanfeng stood in the yard, disappointed. He grabbed the knife on the ground and started to chop the firewood crazily. He wanted to forget all of this. No matter what happened in the outside world, it had nothing to do with him. He only wanted to live well here. Why was it so difficult?

Old Ma looked at Xiao Nanfeng and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew that Xiao Nanfeng would leave sooner or later. No golden phoenix could stay in the chicken nest for too long. Xiao Nanfeng didn't belong here to begin with, so why force him to stay here? This wasn't fair to him. The outside world was so big that he couldn't see it. Why did he stop him from looking?

Everyone's life was destined to be filled with people and scenery, so it was impossible for anyone to change these things. Xiao Nanfeng was destined to be an outsider. Therefore, it was impossible for him to get married to Yunyun. Even if he got married, he would never have a good ending. Yunyun was a bloody example.

Old Ma smoked while thinking. He decided to let Xiao Nanfeng choose for himself. In fact, he was very reluctant to let Xiao Nanfeng leave. Xiao Nanfeng was like his son now. It was rare for him to have the chance to experience the feeling of being a father.

However, this was something that couldn't be helped. No father would stop his son from doing what he wanted. No father would make his son give up the outside world just to keep his son.

Old Ma smiled. He finally felt relieved. Ashes to dust, dust to dust. This was something that was destined to happen. Why should he force it? He watched Xiao Nanfeng working hard in the saline-alkali land. Old Ma's eyes became moist, and the sun shone on Xiao Nanfeng's firm back. He was like a mountain, standing in front of Old Ma.
