Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue covered her face and waited for the black-clad man's knife to swing down. But after waiting for a long time, the black-clad man did not chop down.

Zhou Xinyue was wondering, she quietly opened her eyes and saw through the gaps between her fingers that someone in front of her blocked a knife for him. The person's left hand instantly fell to the ground. Zhou Xinyue was so scared that she froze and caught the person who was about to fall.

Zhou Xinyue didn't recognize the man at first sight. He was in his forties or fifties, with his left face disfigured and his left eye deformed by the burns. He used a strand of hair to cover his disfigured face. Suddenly, a horse neighed, as if it resounded through the sky. A man on a horse was seen in front, swinging a knife to kill the man in black.

Zhou Xinyue cried nervously, "Uncle, don't move. I will stop the bleeding for you."

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue tore off her dress and immediately cut off the severed limb to stop the bleeding, and immediately comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you won't die, uncle, you won't die."

The uncle covered his wound with his hands. Zhou Xinyue desperately tore off her clothes and prepared to bandage him again, but suddenly she found that the uncle only covered the wound with his thumb and index finger, with the three fingers raised high.

Zhou Xinyue stared at his movements for three seconds, then quickly came back to her senses and bandaged him again. Zhou Xinyue looked at the left cheek of the uncle, where he was injured, and seemed to understand many things.

Zhou Xinyue suddenly remembered this uncle. Wasn't this the strange uncle that Erdan met when he was crossing the backyard at the mansion and was about to take Zhou Xinyue to find Sandan? The strange uncle who looked dirty and inconspicuous, with a disfigured face?

Zhou Xinyue suddenly understood many things and looked at him with sad eyes. The old man's pale face and bloodless lips said forcefully: "Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"

Zhou Xinyue quickly replied: "I'm fine, don't worry, just hold on, you will be fine."

At this time, the man in front was fighting desperately with the man in black.

Zhou Xinyue looked at the man in front of her who was leading a dozen people to kill the men in black and felt that he looked very familiar. When she looked closely at his profile, she found that it was Shilang, the eldest son of the Fu family.

Zhou Xinyue stared with eyes wide open in disbelief at Shi Lang, whose whole body was devoted to killing the enemy. She felt that he was very different from the lame young master she met in the mansion.

As expected, he was a man who had been to the battlefield, and he looked very handsome when killing the enemy.

After an unknown amount of time, one of the men came over with a man in black and said, "Master, he is the only one left. He just wanted to commit suicide by taking pills, but I stopped him."

Shilang nodded, dismounted, and resumed his limping state.

Zhou Xinyue was still in shock. Shilang came over, his tone still cold, but his eyes looked at her with worry, and asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Zhou Xinyue swallowed and said, "I, I, I'm fine, but this him... Oh, and Erdan, Erdan she..."

Shilang said hurriedly: "Don't be nervous, they are fine."

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly looked back and saw those people pulling the repaired carriage over. Erdan was supported by those people. Sandan was fine, except for complaining about the pain in his butt.

Shilang comforted them and continued, "Let's go pick up my mother now and return home immediately. This is the golden medicine I carry with me. It is very effective for knife wounds. I have used it for many years. Apply it to stop the bleeding. Apply it to Erdan as well."

After Shilang finished speaking, he turned around, rode his horse and took them on the road again.

Zhou Xinyue carefully applied medicine to the uncle in the carriage. The wound was too large and Zhou Xinyue was extremely worried. The journey back home would take at least several days and she didn't know if the uncle could make it. She was afraid that he would die from excessive blood loss.

After the bleeding was barely stopped, the uncle fell into a coma.

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly applied medicine to Erdan. She was very nervous and said with great concern, "Don't be afraid. I heard from the young master that this medicine is very effective. The knife wound was not deep, and the man in black didn't kill him. Fortunately, don't be afraid. Apply it and it will heal soon."

Erdan nodded painfully and said, "Yeah, I understand. It's okay, I'm fine."

Zhou Xinyue applied the medicine little by little. After applying the medicine, the bleeding stopped immediately. Erdan also said that his back felt cool and there was no more burning pain.

Sandan held Erdan's hand and cried sadly, "I want to learn Kung Fu. I want to protect you in the future. Big sister, if you die, I will die too."

Erdan yelled angrily, "You useless thing, your sister is not someone who will die so easily, and you are not allowed to say such unlucky words, do you hear me?"

Zhou Xinyue also pretended to be angry and said, "That's right, you idiot, but learning martial arts has enlightened me. If there is a chance, I will indeed send you to learn some skills. Even if it is not to protect us, you should learn some skills to make a living for yourself."

Zhou Xinyue was silent for a while, then thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I..." Zhou Xinyue choked and didn't know how to continue, because she saw Erdan's eyelids drooping and he looked very tired. Zhou Xinyue changed the topic and said, "Sister, you are tired. Have a good rest. We have changed horses. Now this horse is very fast and should be able to go back soon. Have a good sleep and don't worry."

Erdan closed his eyes, nodded vigorously and fell into a deep sleep. Sandan was also tired. Although he was strong, he was really hurt by the fall and also fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Xinyue lowered her head in deep thought as the carriage was being driven back at full speed by Shilang and his party.

After two days and two nights, they arrived at the foot of the Donghua Temple. The mistress was already waiting there. As expected, the mistress and Grandma Li were distressed and expressed all kinds of concerns. Fortunately, Zhou Xinyue was not hurt, so they quickly felt relieved and got on another carriage to return immediately.

The old man was still unconscious on the road, and Zhou Xinyue had a hard time taking care of him. Although she used miraculous medicine to stop the bleeding from the wound, the situation was still very critical.

Erdan's condition improved a lot. The wound was not very deep to begin with, and with Shilang's golden wound medicine, the wound was obviously much better.

After a bumpy ride, they finally returned to the mansion. However, before they had time to rest, the mistress immediately led Shilang, Zhou Xinyue and others to the inner courtyard, and all the outsiders were sent out.

Zhou Xinyue had a bad feeling in her heart, feeling as if something big was going to happen. As expected, in the inner courtyard hall, she saw Fourth Aunt sitting on the ground, covering her face with tears and crying. Five blood-red finger marks could be vaguely seen on her face.

Yu Han also knelt beside her mother and cried, hugged Fourth Aunt's shoulders and wiped her tears. This scene made Zhou Xinyue feel uneasy.

Looking up, there was a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties sitting in the hall, looking at Fourth Aunt menacingly.

Zhou Xinyue took one look and didn't dare to look again. That look made people feel scared and murderous, which put a lot of pressure on people.
