The man turned over and sat up. The immense pain from his feet made him let out a low roar of pain. His originally bloodless face instantly turned deathly pale.
"Hey, be careful. Your legs have just been fixed."
The younger sister looked at the man on the bed and said carefully. She was obviously frightened by the appearance of this good-looking man when he just woke up.
The man slowly came back to his senses. As he looked at the two unfamiliar girls in front of him, his mind went blank.
"You … Are you all right? "
His sister saw that he was silent and asked again.
The man looked at the two women in front of him with a lifeless gaze. Only after a long while did he slowly recall what had happened to him.
Damn it, he was ambushed by someone close to him.
With an ashen face, he lowered his gaze. It was as if a thousand years of ice had condensed in his eyes, freezing the two girls in front of him to the point that they didn't dare to move.
He was Yan Yuan who was just about to return to the capital after collecting the sea bandits in the East Sea. At that time, he was ambushed by a deputy general who was following him out to sea, but where was he right now?
Yan Yuan frowned, he looked at the two girls who were trembling in fear, and asked: "Where is this place?"
"This is the Fire Cloud Village."
Even though the person's face was cold, it was still very good-looking.
She sneaked a glance at Yan Yuan, and her face blushed a little.
"Fire Cloud Village?"
Yan Yuan repeated his name in a low voice.
Miao Renlong had always lived deep in the mountains and rarely interacted with the people from the outside world. When he had fallen into the sea, how could he have ended up in Miao Renlong's place?
As for these two Miao Renlong, they were actually able to speak Chinese.
He winced and moved his leg, trying to get out of bed, but it hurt badly.
He took a fancy to his feet, which were wrapped in gauze and held in place by a few wooden planks.
The Miao sisters noticed his gaze and whispered, "You were saved by father. At that time, both of your legs were broken and father had just used them to connect you. You can't move for now."
Yan Yuan looked at them, and after pondering for a moment, he said to them: "Thank you."
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a woman walked in. Seeing Yan Yuan, she smiled: "Young master has woken up."
Hearing the voice, Yan Yuan subconsciously raised his head to look, then retracted his gaze.
But in the next second, he stared blankly for a moment. Then, he turned his gaze to the woman who had just pushed open the door, and a hint of blankness flashed across his eyes.
This woman actually made him feel that she was very familiar.
However, when he carefully thought back to the people around him, he couldn't find any trace of this woman.
He stared at the woman for a few seconds, and when the woman saw Yan Yuan staring at her, she smiled bashfully, "Young Noble, why are you staring at me like that?"
Being pointed out so openly by the woman, Yan Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He opened the corner of his mouth and revealed a slight smile, "Nothing much, I just feel that you look a little familiar."
The woman was stunned for a moment. Then, she forced out a smile and said, "I'm just a woman who lives deep in the forest. I've never met the young master. Since the young master thinks I'm familiar, that's our fate."
As she spoke, she brought the medicine in her hand to Yan Yuan, "Since Young Master is awake, drink the medicine first."
"Okay, thank you Madam."
Yan Yuan was not someone who would easily trust others, but for some reason, when he was facing this woman, he felt an incomparable closeness to her. He did not doubt the medicine he gave him either, so he took the pill and drank it all in one go.
"Young master, you should rest well. When my husband rescued you from the sea, you were already seriously injured. It was not easy for you to wake up now. You must take care of yourself."
"Alright."
Yan Yuan nodded at the woman, looking at the face that made him feel that it was becoming more and more familiar, Yan Yuan seemed to want to say something more, but for a moment, he did not know what to say.
"Madam, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been a month."
Before the woman could speak, the slightly younger girl among the Miao sisters spoke up.
"Don't be rude."
The woman looked at the young lady who had just spoken, then turned to Yan Yuan and said: "My apologies, Young Noble, these are my daughters, Xi Ya and Duo Ya, they have been spoiled too badly by me."
"It's fine."
Yan Yuan pursed his lips, trying his best to look gentle.
"Young master, you should rest first. We're out. "
The woman called Xi Ya and Duo Ya out of the room, and Yan Yuan sat on the bed quietly. The feeling he gave him just now was getting more and more familiar.
A woman from Miao Village was gentle and elegant with every movement she made. Her words carried the scent of a book, and she did not seem like a woman from Miao Village at all.
Had he really seen her before?
Yan Yuan pondered for a while, then recalled his own injuries.
He had actually been in a coma for a month. Now that they couldn't find him, would they think that he was dead?
What about Qing Er? Would it be sad?
There were also those from the Shen Ji Hall. Liu Qian Xun had always been doing his best to sow discord between him and the Kaiser, so now that he was not in the capital, would Qing Er be in danger?
Thinking about that, Yan Yuan's face sunk. He wanted to get up and leave, but the moment his feet moved, the pain would make his entire body break out in cold sweat. Not to mention leaving now, standing would be a problem.
"Damn it!"
He heavily punched the wooden bed underneath him, his entire body exuding a cold aura.
But now, he couldn't leave. He could only patiently wait here to recuperate from his injuries.
"Qing Er, I'm fine. Wait for me to come back."
Mentioning Liu Ruo Qing, Yan Yuan's expression suddenly softened a lot.
Yan Xiao searched the ocean for another half a month, but he still couldn't find Yan Yuan's whereabouts. His originally hopeful heart also sank even more.
Today, as Yan Xiao was sitting on the official ship, he heard a servant report that someone wanted to see him.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Soon, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared in the cabin.
"This subordinate pays his respect to Pavilion Master."
"Why are you so anxious to see me? Is there something important?"
His name was Bare Bear, and he was one of the branch hall masters of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He was in charge of gathering intelligence on the xieqing and the Nanling.
"Reporting to Pavilion Master, this subordinate has discovered that the people from the Nanling and the xieqing have been frequently going to the Miao Village deep in the mountains. As for what exactly they are doing, this subordinate has not been able to find out, and this subordinate is worried that they are doing some shady business in the Miao Village, so this subordinate came to report to the Pavilion Master."
"Miao Village?"
Yan Xiao's brows twitched, he knew that the ocean was separated by a mountain, and was just a forest deep, many people settled down there.
