"Thank you." Xie Yutang said awkwardly, with a small voice, and ran to his mother's side as soon as he finished speaking.
Feng Jiu smiled and looked down at the wound he had bandaged.
"Burn our corpses, take their ashes back, and then send them back to their families." The old man confessed to the secret guards. He looked at the corpses and sighed softly.
The fire blazed up in the night sky, illuminating half of the sky, a gust of wind blew, and the air also exuded a foul smell...
The dark guards did what he said, burned the bodies of several people, picked up the ashes and took out the jars from the Qiankun bag and put them in a jar.
Feng Jiu saw that they were proficient in their movements and still prepared. Obviously, this was not the first time they had done such a thing. It seemed that their previous secret guards had died and they should have dealt with it in this way.
Also, compared to being buried, burning like this is even more troublesome.After all, no one knows if any beasts will dig out the corpses buried in the ground, and burn them and bring the ashes back to their relatives, so that no one will worship them after death.
"Let's go! Let's go back first." The old man said, motioning for them to get into the beast carriage. The guards who had been hidden in the dark also showed up and walked around the carriage, and the group continued to move forward.
As the sky got brighter and the carriage approached the next town, the old man frowned slightly, looked at Feng Jiu who was sitting aside, and asked, "Little Jiu, what are your plans next? Do you have any relatives in the city?"
Hearing this, Feng Jiu shook his head.
Seeing this, the old man was meditating, his eyes fell on his injured arm, thought for a while, and said: "We are going back to the master's house this time, and we will settle down at the master Xie's house in the future. If there is one more you, only I'm afraid...
Xie Yutang on the side listened, looked at Feng Jiu, who was sitting on the side with his head down, and said: "Grandpa, let him put on the clothes of a secret guard and pretend to be the secret guard in our house. , Let him follow me as my little boy."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him unexpectedly.
"What are you looking at? I just don’t want to owe you favors, don’t you have nowhere to go? In that case, it’s okay for you to stay by my side and be my little servant. I dare not promise you anything else, but three meals Sure enough."
Hearing this, the old man thought for a while and looked at Feng Jiu: "If you really have nowhere to go, then follow Yutang!" The young man looked more calm than Yutang, and his brows were filled with honesty. Judging from his vision of reading people, he is not a bad-hearted person.
Feng Jiu smiled after hearing the old man's words, nodded, and wrote the word thank you on the table with water.
"Great, then you can play with me in the future." Xie Shisi also said happily.
"Let me tell you about our Xie family. After you arrive at Xie's house, you will stay with Yutang. Don't be impulsive. After all, we are not a direct line in a big family, and it is difficult to speak."
Feng Jiu nodded, and listened to the old man telling the three of them about the things that he should pay attention to when he arrived at Xie's house.
After hearing those words and so many rules, Xie Yutang's face was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Grandpa, then why do we need to live in the master's house? We are fine in our own house."
