3. Girl's Arrow(1/2)
boom!
At this critical moment, an arrow grazed Wei Ming's ear and shot through the tiger's head. Blood spurted out and sprayed on his face.
Wei Ming looked at this scene blankly, and the scene in front of him made him a little unbelievable.
"You're not dreaming!"
He murmured to himself and reached out to touch his cheek in disbelief. It was warm and moist. It was not an illusion.
But how could I be so lucky that someone happened to help me and save my life?
He looked up and saw a young girl holding a bow and arrow, standing pretty on the spot, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Wei Ming couldn't help but blurt out that this person was the Orion's daughter just now, but at this time, she had changed into men's clothes, her hair was tied up high, and she looked very heroic.
"Why can't I be here?"
The girl raised her eyebrows:
"Also, I won't call you my name! My name is Lin Muxue, remember?"
"Miss Mu Xue."
Wei Ming took a deep breath, tried to calm down the surprise and excitement in his heart, and said slowly:
"My Excellency Wei Ming, thank you Miss Mu Xue for helping me tonight. I will definitely pay you a visit someday."
Unexpectedly, Lin Muxue said with a smile:
"Hmph! Who cares about your thank you gift?"
After saying that, she curled her lips again:
"If you have a conscience, then stay and work for me, chop wood, carry water, hunt, cook, and don't be lazy!"
"Well!"
Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, Lin Muxue actually asked him to stay
Doing rough work?!
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When Lin Muxue saw this, she showed an unhappy expression on her face:
"What? You're not happy?"
"this......"
Wei Ming hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly:
"I do."
After all, I have nowhere to go, so I might as well settle down first and then make plans.
"very good."
The girl nodded with satisfaction, and then said darkly: "To be honest, I keep you here because of my father... He is sick and needs treatment..."
Wei Ming said nothing.
"and......"
Lin Muxue bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at Wei Ming.
"And your food is almost gone, right?"
Wei Ming spoke calmly, as if he had guessed Lin Muxue's thoughts.
Lin Muxue opened her mouth slightly, then nodded silently.
Wei Ming sighed, and he understood why Lin Muxue wanted to stay to help her.
It is extremely difficult for a man to take care of his father, hunt and ensure his own livelihood at the same time, let alone a teenage girl.
"All right!"
He nodded helplessly and agreed to Lin Muxue's request.
"Very good!"
Lin Muxue was overjoyed when she heard this. She grabbed Wei Ming's sleeves and said excitedly:
"Then come with me quickly."
After saying that, he pulled Wei Ming and rushed towards home.
Wei Ming was pulled by her and ran, feeling helpless.
"Slow down!"
"Don't worry, I can run faster than a rabbit!"
Lin Muxue smiled slightly and didn't care at all.
Her steps were very light, not at all the speed that a fifteen or sixteen year old girl should have.
After a while, the two returned to the hut.
Orion was lying on the bed and resting, while he was boiling some medicine. The strong smell of medicine filled the whole room.
At this time, he looked extremely weak. How could he still look so strong just now?
"Daddy!"
Lin Muxue cheered and jumped directly to Orion's side.
"Ouch!"
Orion was startled, and after seeing clearly the appearance of the girl in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mu Xue, you are finally back!"
"Um!"
Lin Muxue nodded, and then asked worriedly: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just an old problem. I need to take some medicine to relieve it."
Orion waved his hand and then said: "Mu Xue, where have you gone?"
Wei Ming stood aside, silent.
At this time, Lin Muxue glanced at Wei Ming, and then explained:
"Dad, this is Wei Ming."
"Why are you back?"
Orion frowned and looked at Wei Ming with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
His face was still a little pale, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was holding back some kind of pain.
Wei Ming was very calm when he arrived and said directly:
"I was attacked by a tiger when I was leaving. It was Miss Lin Muxue who saved me. I am grateful for her kindness, so I came back to repay my kindness and do some menial work for Miss Lin Muxue."
Orion looked at the girl and asked: "Is this really true?"
Lin Muxue nodded heavily: "Of course."
Orion looked a little ugly and snorted coldly:
"Mu Xue, you are still young. Don't trust strangers easily. If this person has ulterior motives and tries to do you harm, wouldn't you be like a sheep in a tiger's den?!"
Hearing this, Lin Muxue was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and said naa-naa:
"I know, daddy."
"well!"
Orion sighed and closed his eyes helplessly:
"That's all, since you insist on letting this person help, then let's do whatever you want, but if he dares to bully you, dad will never let him go easily!"
"yes!"
Lin Muxue said yes repeatedly.
Wei Ming looked at Lin Muxue's obedient appearance and felt a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect this girl to be so obedient and a filial child.
"Mu Xue, please take him out. He will be in the way and affect my recovery."
"Oh well."
"Let's go to my side room. You can rest there."
Lin Muxue said hello and then walked outside.
Wei Ming saw this and immediately followed him.
