C14 Brother Are You Still Alive

The night gradually deepened and the Zuo's Mansion returned to its former tranquility. Nanny Liu was too old to stay up all night, so Luo Xiaoliu stayed up all night.

Just after midnight, Zuo Shaoqing opened his eyes and listened to the heavy breathing coming from outside. He got off the bed, put on a grey robe and walked out.

He quietly approached Luo Xiaoliu and saw the capable attendant up close. He was very satisfied with Luo Xiaoliu's recent performance, "If you can be loyal to me, then the past grudge will be written off."

Zuo Shaoqing gently opened the door and walked out.

He had not stepped out of this room for half a month, and if he did not come out now to take a breather, he would feel suffocated. In any case, the number of people on night duty was pitifully few, so he was not too worried about being discovered.

Passing by Wu Ya Academy, Zuo Shaoqing's gaze turned cold. He lightly jumped onto the roof and walked towards the hall where Mrs. Xue was.

Although he had only practiced the Heart Cleansing Method to the first stage and his martial arts skills were not much better than attendant, his qinggong had returned to its peak state.

The moment he laid down on the roof, Zuo Shaoqing heard Mrs. Xue's repressed curses from below: "That old thing, to think that I put in so much effort to give her this birthday banquet, all due to her face, she actually made me lose face in front of others!"

Zuo Shaoqing had just saw Mrs. Xue push away the servant girl who passed her water and circle around the room in anger.

"Mother, you should know that Grandmother believes in Buddha the most. Third Brother's wedding present is indeed within your heart." Zuo Shuhui waved away the servant girl in the room and pulled Mrs. Xue to a stool to sit down.

"Hmph, your elder brother spent several hundred taels of silver to get a Jade Guanyin, but she was actually defeated by those few pieces of scrap paper. How can I be willing to accept this?"

"So what if you let him feel proud for a few days? It was just a moment of limelight, how could he rise up to the sky? Another day, my daughter will embroider a picture of Guan Yin for Grandmother. I guarantee that she will be satisfied. "

"Forget it, that would take too much time. It's not worth it!" Mrs. Xue patted her daughter's hand, "If you have the time, you might as well weave a few sets of Lovers' quilts for yourself so that Cao Family can experience my daughter's good cooking skills."

"Mother …" Zuo Shuhui leaned shyly on Mrs. Xue's back and said, "Daughter doesn't want to marry." However, her eyes were filled with a piercing brightness.

"That's enough, you have to be satisfied. Although your Cao Family is only at the fifth rank, Cao Zongguan is already a High Scholar. In the future, you will be the proper official's wife for the title."

Zuo Shaoqing almost sneered. He had almost forgotten about this matter. Zuo Shuhui was indeed engaged to Lu Zheng before he married Lu Zheng. It was unknown whether that Young Master Lu really did not know or was completely indifferent.

He knew that the mother and daughter pair were very satisfied with Cao Zongguan. However, when Lu Zheng came to Zuo Family and indicated that they wanted to marry Zuo Family, the mother and daughter pair neatly gave up Cao Family and let Zuo Shuyu from the second house take over Zuo Shuhui's position.

Zuo Shuhui and Cao Zongguan had already gone through the wedding ceremony, so logically, they shouldn't break off the engagement. However, Mrs. Xue had personally come to find the Cao Family, hinting that it was Young Master Lu who was eyeing their family's Miss Zuo.

Who was Lu Zheng, who was the only Duke with a different surname in Great Yang, and he was also known as the "War God", a fierce general. With a heavy soldier in his hands, no matter how sullen his Cao Family was, he would not dare to challenge him.

Aside from Cao Family who suffered a loss, everyone in the second and third rooms were overjoyed. As for whether Lu Zheng suffered a loss or not, Zuo Shaoqing did not know.

Not wanting to continue listening, Zuo Shaoqing left from the roof and sprinted in the direction of the Green Foot Academy. Soon, he arrived at the thatched hut at the back of the academy.

During the day, he heard from Luo Xiaoliu that this hut had been tidied up and had some daily necessities, which was why Zuo Shaoqing came here. Other than this, he really couldn't think of any other place to stay.

The cold winter night was bone-piercing. The hazy moonlight seemed to have a layer of silver frost on the ground. Zuo Shaoqing stopped ten steps away from the thatched cottage.

This is... The smell of blood? Someone? How could that be? Could it be a passing hunter?

This was exactly what he wanted to say: when people planted a tree, people would take advantage of it. However, he, Zuo Shaoqing, would never allow anyone to lay their hands on a place like this!

Zuo Shaoqing pushed open the door and walked in. This hut was only a single room, so it was obvious what was inside. The person that Zuo Shaoqing mistook as a hunter was lying on the ground motionlessly.

Zuo Shaoqing retreated a little. The room was reeking of blood. This person was definitely severely injured, so he didn't want to cause trouble.

But he couldn't let this person die here, right? Otherwise, he would have to abandon this thatched cottage that he had painstakingly sorted out.

Zuo Shaoqing walked over lightly and used the tip of his shoes to kick the "corpse" on the floor, "Hey, Brother, are you still alive?"

No response? Zuo Shaoqing cautiously increased the force under his feet, but still didn't receive a response.

Was he already dead? That was perfect. He could just throw the person into the ravine and destroy their remains. In two days, this person would definitely not even be left with bone dregs.

Zuo Shaoqing squatted down, flipped the man over and put two of his fingers on the man's carotid artery.

There was also a pulse, faint but still alive.

Zuo Shaoqing used the moonlight to find the oil lamp that was prepared in the room. After lighting it, he carefully checked the man lying on the ground.

"Hiss …" So much blood? " He saw that the ground below him was completely stained red with blood, Zuo Shaoqing muttered to himself: "He's not dead yet, his life is so tough! "Seems like he isn't an ordinary person."

Unbuttoning the man's clothes, Zuo Shaoqing scanned his body from head to toe and found that the heaviest wounds were on his shoulders and thighs, each with a broken arrow. Although there were some small wounds in other places, they were more like scratches.

To save or not to save? Zuo Shaoqing sat on the bed and stared at the man on the floor. Just by looking at his clothes, one could tell that he was either rich or noble.

When Zuo Shaoqing saw that face, he was a bit surprised. Although the man's chin had grown stubble, but that resolute and handsome face made him take a few more glances.

"Since you look like this, you shouldn't have to worry that you won't be able to repay me for saving your life." Zuo Shaoqing mumbled to himself and started to look for tools to use in the thatched cottage.

He did not dare to pull out the two broken arrows. If the arrows had barbs on them, this pull would not be to save them but to kill them.
