Although there is no major obstacle to moving with one hand and one foot, it is still very conspicuous on the street during the day.

Fu Nian didn't like other people staring at him like monsters, so he walked around the path.

After walking around for less than a quarter of an hour, Fu Nian probably recognized the city from the street scene and the accents of the people around him.

A northern town close to the frontier, where he had been stationed for nearly a year. After a serious injury, perhaps Chu Chaoyi was afraid that his merits would outshine the Lord, so he insisted on calling him back to Beijing. He took half a step out.

Fu Nian realized that he was thinking about the past again, so he quickly shifted his gaze, trying to focus on other things.

There was no one in the carpenter's shop at noon, Fu Yan looked around, and there was only the carpenter in the shop.

He sneaked into the house without making a sound, and tiptoed around behind the man who was concentrating on planing wood.

"Excuse me." Fu Tian stood behind him and said expressionlessly.

The man who was planing wood was startled, almost threw the wood in his hand, turned his head, and saw a young man with exquisite facial features, but his pupils were darker than others, and the strong light hardly reflected in his pupils, adding There is no expression on the face, at first glance it is a little lifeless, and the temperament gives people a "cold" feeling.

"Guest, what's the matter, sir?" The carpenter paused for a few seconds before forcing out a stiff smile.

"Have you ever seen a pair of prosthetics. A hand and a leg, the joints are smooth and flexible, and they are made of stone." Fu Tian asked lightly, "A woman sold it to you. It costs more than ten taels of silver."

The carpenter hesitated for a while, then stopped talking.

While thinking, he saw Fu Bian's weakly hanging sleeve and the single boot under his robe.

"Have you seen enough? If you have seen enough, can I trouble you to answer my question just now?" Fu Nian also glanced at the empty place on his body, and continued to speak.

"Hold, I'm sorry." The carpenter came back to his senses and quickly apologized. He said that the young man in front of him might not be simple. With one hand and one foot, he can still approach behind him silently... It is absolutely extraordinary, "I have seen it. But..."

Fu Twenty: "But?"

"Sold... sold." The carpenter couldn't help but stammered a bit when he said this, "Hero, I really don't want to be greedy for money... The people who took your prosthetic limbs are like the imperial guards in the capital. They search everywhere for such things. For prosthetics made of stone, I asked all the masons and carpenters in the surrounding cities, and they bought them at a high price. When I visited the little one, I happened to see your prosthetic...it was taken from that woman At that time, I knew that this prosthetic limb was not cheap, and I hadn’t researched it thoroughly. Who would have thought that the imperial guards would come to my door directly, give me ten taels of silver, and just take that prosthetic limb away... Don’t talk about making money, I still owe that woman a few dollars. Two denarii."

"Forbidden Army? What are the Forbidden Army looking for with those prosthetic limbs?" Fu Nian continued to ask.

"It is said, it is said that today is going to..." The carpenter stopped talking halfway, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said these—"

"Go on. What does the emperor want?" Fu Yan continued to ask.

"Hero, the common people will lose their heads if they talk nonsense about the emperor, don't embarrass the little one..."

Fu Nian: "If you say what you say, no one here can hear you except you. If you don't say it, I will kill you before the government arrests you."

The carpenter's face changed suddenly after hearing this, but seeing the young man in front of him, with a strong figure and a cold face, he really seemed to be able to twist his head off, so he could only whisper, "Yes, it is what the emperor wants... Nine provinces and four seas began to search Similar prosthetics are rumored to be for the newly married queen... I don't know about other small ones."

queen.

Hearing this harsh word, Fu Tian's heart tightened.

Yes, he hurried back to the capital from the fief after hearing the news that Chu Chaoyi was preparing for a big wedding, but on the way back to the capital...

"Today's son, is your name Chu Chaoyi?" When this name was mentioned, Fu Nian's always clear voice suddenly became agitated, and he approached the carpenter and asked forcefully.

"Don't mention the emperor's name!" Hearing this, the carpenter stomped his feet anxiously, "Keep your voice down, please!"

Hearing this, Fu Tian's heart sank, "Then... who is the queen today? The princess from the northern kingdom? Or the princess from the western border?"

"The little one doesn't know..." The carpenter was forced to ask, "No one knows what the queen looks like. It is said that after marrying into the palace, she has never been out of your majesty's bedroom. No one has seen who she is and what she looks like." Like, which family's daughter is it? It is only said that His Majesty and the Empress have shared joys and sorrows, and there is no doubt about their love..."

Later, the carpenter babbled on, but Fu Nian didn't listen.

Having shared joys and sorrows with Chu Chaoyi, there is no doubt about love and affection...

Fu Nian thought for a while, but he didn't remember that there was such a woman beside Chu Chaoyi.

But then he thought again, when he met Chu Chaoyi...Chu Chaoyi was already in his teens, and before that, maybe there really was Qingmei from his childhood sweetheart.

"Hero...you, what's the matter?" The carpenter saw Fu Nian snarling and pressing him one second, and the next second he was like a wilting vegetable leaf.

"..." Fu Nian didn't speak.

He was able to get the chance of rebirth because of his obsession with the world.

Aside from finding the person who planted the Fate Lianxin Gu for him to repay his favor, and to see how his senior brother is doing well, what he can't let go of the most is the matter of Chu Chaoyi's big wedding.

After all, it was because of this that he suddenly became poisoned.

After being silent for a while, Fu Tian still said, "Thank you for telling me this."

After speaking, Fu Nian searched for something on his body, hoping to find some valuables, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

Fu Nian thought for a while, then asked, "Do you have a pen and paper? Now I can't give you anything in return, but I can sign and make a deposit—"

"No need, no need, don't tell me." The carpenter quickly stopped.

He said something that shouldn't be said, just don't leave evidence, how dare he covet this little money and ruin his life.

"Then is there anything you need help with? My master has taught me that you will repay your kindness. Although you sold my prosthetic limbs, you did so unintentionally. Seeing my broken limbs, my first reaction was to apologize And looked away, and told me about what I want to know." Fu Nian paused for a while, then continued, "Do your best within your ability."

The carpenter hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to go south to the capital? I saw you asked so many things about the emperor just now, and you seem to be a martial artist..."

"Exactly." Fu Tian didn't hide anything.

He has never cared about others knowing his whereabouts.Before following Chu Chaoyi, Fu Nian was like this. Even if the other party knew when and where he was going to make an action, he never guarded against him. Even many times, Fu Nian would deliberately tell his action plan to give Time for the opponent to prepare.

But after following Chu Chaoyi, Fu Nian deliberately concealed his whereabouts for Chu Chaoyi's safety.

"Then... I have an unfeeling request from you." The carpenter sighed, "Gouzi is about to go south to study in Beijing. He has been weak since he was a child, and he may have troubles along the way. Could you please take care of him along the way. Of course, the carriage and horses You don’t need to worry about food and lodging in Lawton and Lulu, and other places where money is needed.”

Fu Nian was not in a hurry to answer.

He is indeed empty-handed right now, without a prosthetic limb, it is really difficult to rush back to the capital without food and dew.Go back to the old job... But if he can come back this time, he will come back to make amends. Fu Nian is not afraid of being a lonely ghost, but he is afraid that if he goes back to the old job, he will have no life to repay his favor, and he will have no life Live until the obsession ends.

Regardless of whether it is a noble person who is helping you this time, or it is really a fraud, you can only try it out.

Anyway, it is very difficult for ordinary people to kill him with ordinary means.

Fu Nian: "Okay, when will we go on the road?"

"Two days later. In the past two days, the dog has been busy saying goodbye to relatives, teachers, and relatives... Please don't be impatient, heroes. Of course, if you don't mind these two days, you can temporarily stay at my house."

"It's troublesome." After Fu Tian finished speaking, he bowed and saluted.

Fu Nian was not idle during the few days when the carpenter stayed here temporarily. Although he had never spoken to the carpenter, he still consciously fed and washed the horses for the carpenter, cleaned the pests, rats and weeds in the small courtyard, fetched water and cooked food, and To go hunting.In addition, Fu Nian also repaired the collapsed courtyard wall.

Fu Nian never imagined that such a day would come to him who spent half his life killing people.

It was a cloudy and rainy day on the road.

Two hours before the journey, Fu Nian saw the son the carpenter was talking about.

Although he is over sixteen years old, his face is still round and his features are delicate. If he didn't tell me, he would have thought he was the son of a rich family.

Seeing the first meeting, before Fu Nian opened his mouth, he heard the other party ask openly, "I'm Pei Zhou, do you dare to ask your name?"

Fu Tian glanced at the vegetation and moss around him, and replied casually, "Cocklebur."

"Last name?"

"No surname." Fu Tian answered very simply.

The name Fu Yan... as long as it is mentioned, everyone will know that it is Chu Chaoyi's mad dog. Except for the owner, no one dares to bite the dog.

When he was by Chu Chaoyi's side, Fu Nian was willing to be called Mad Dog.After leaving Chu Chaoyi, Fu Nian has been trying to get rid of this stereotype, but he failed until his death.

Now that he has come back from the dead, he naturally wants to change his own name.

"Okay, then I will trouble you on this journey." After the boy finished speaking, he showed a nice smile and got into the dilapidated carriage and sedan chair.

Fu Nian said goodbye to the old carpenter without saying a word, and followed the young man into the sedan chair.

When the carriage ran out of the city, Fu Nianyi thought about changing places with the driver. It might be faster to drive the carriage by himself, but after thinking about it, the carpenter said that the young master was weak, so he might not be able to withstand too much bumps.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Fu Nian heard the boy sitting across from him say, "By the way, my father asked me to give you this."

Fu Nian looked up, and saw the young master took out two polished and lacquered wooden sticks, like human bones.

It's a prosthetic.

The legs were obviously made in a rush, but the arms...although the workmanship is not as exquisite as the stone ones that Fu Shian used to have, and the range of joint movement is limited, it can be seen that thought has been put into it.

Seeing Fu Nian looking at him, the boy smiled embarrassedly, revealing two small canine teeth and a pair of shallow pear dimples, "Maybe it doesn't fit a little, but it's better than nothing. My brother Yuan and you The same... The body is not perfect, one arm is missing. But when I was young, my mother was very sad, crying for several years, and finally went to accompany him... My father always thought that my brother would come back , so I have been making big and small prosthetics for him. It is lucky to meet you, so I just picked one that is about the same size as you as a gift. The leg was just repaired today, and it should be usable."

Fu Nian was taken aback for a moment.

No wonder this time it was rare that he wasn't called a weirdo by others.

"Thank you, thank you..." Fu Nian hesitated for a while, but still took the prosthetic limb from the boy's hand.

The arms and legs were installed quickly, but the legs were a bit difficult, but after a few adjustments, they were still barely fitted.

Fu Nian tried to move his hands.

Except that the joints are not very flexible, and there will be creaking sounds, there is no other problem.

"I will abide by your father's orders along the way and protect you well." Fu Nian looked at his newbie and promised coldly.He didn't know how to express this great kindness in words, so he could only express it in actions as much as possible.

Seeing the heavy expression on Fu Er's face, Pei Zhou continued to care, "I know. Speaking of which... it doesn't look like you are going to study for the exam? What are you going to Beijing for?"
