681 Miracle

The next day was the same. No one spoke. On the third day, Bai Xu dragged Hu Changshou to a place that had a dense forest. On this day, Bai Xu fed him a lot of minced meat. After feeding him, she still did not say anything and left.

After Bai Xu left, she did not return.

She left according to the agreement.

Hu Changshou was also very calm. He did not shout after Bai Xu left. He was very calm. He did not move. Some small insects would crawl over him, and some would pass by his mouth. He would open his mouth and eat them.

He wasn’t really hungry. It was a miracle that he was alive. Hu Changshou thought about it deeply. He hadn’t excreted for almost two months. It was unbelievable.

Ordinary people would probably die like this, but he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

He could be considered to have a strange fate. Hu Changshou could not help but recall the day he saved Bai Xu. Speaking of which, he did not know what happened. Seeing the snake approach Bai Xu, he thought that if only he could drink the snake’s blood.

All creatures would die without blood, no matter how powerful they were. As for why the snake’s blood would really be drunk by him, he did not know.

The snake spat out poison before it died. He even drank the poison. It was a miracle that he didn’t die after drinking the poison that even the old woman was afraid of.

As night fell, the shadows of the trees piled up and the starry sky shone. Hu Changshou looked at the sky full of stars, his heart calm and peaceful. He didn’t mind if he slept here for a long time.

He could see the stars when he looked up. The breeze was always with him. It was also a good place. He had lived another day. This was another miracle for him.

Hu Changshou did not know that Bai Xu had not really left.

Bai Xu was on a branch far away. She could see Hu Changshou. If Hu Changshou shouted, she could hear him too, but he was quiet.

Perhaps it was destiny that the huge team was approaching. They might save Hu Changshou. She only needed to ensure that no beasts attacked Hu Changshou in the next day or two.

She wasn’t a good person. Staying for two more days was the best she could do.

Hu Changshou did not move for two days, and Bai Xu also did not move for two days. When she saw the officials coming over, Bai Xu used Qinggong to leave. This time, she really did not look back.

“Master Jin, why is this area so quiet? I don’t even see a bird.”

One of Chu Jin’s men complained.

Another person smiled and continued, “I haven’t even seen a bird. This place is either the territory of something big. Tsk tsk…”

Chu Jin smiled. “What’s there to be afraid of? Aren’t we here to find something good?”

“Aiyo—what is that—”

Someone tripped.

“Someone, there’s someone here…”

Someone exclaimed.

Hu Changshou also opened his eyes. He had fallen asleep just now. Perhaps he had already calmly accepted any outcome for himself. He was sleeping too soundly.

“This person is still alive.”

Hu Changshou saw someone squat down and reach out to touch his neck before reporting.

Hu Changshou looked at the few heads that appeared in front of him and did not speak for a moment.

“Master Jin.”

Someone moved aside. Hu Changshou saw a man with stubble all over his face squat down. He looked at him curiously and asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why are you lying here motionless like a wooden stake?”

Hu Changshou swallowed and said, “I’m poisoned. My entire body is weak and I can’t move.”

“Then it’s a miracle you’re still alive.”

Chu Jin casually tugged at Hu Changshou’s limbs. He was observing Hu Changshou’s neural reaction and his expression to see if he was lying.

“What’s your name? Who are you with? You look familiar.”

Chu Jin asked.

He looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

“Hu Changshou, I came alone.”

Hu Changshou said his name. Chu Jin found him familiar. When he was walking beside Su Xiaolu previously, Chu Jin had seen him a few times, but now that they had not seen each other for a month or two and he was in a sorry state, Chu Jin could not recognize him.

Chu Jin frowned and said in confusion, “Hu Changshou, aren’t you Xiaolu’s cousin? Aren’t you not coming? What’s wrong with you?”

He did not recognize Hu Changshou, but he remembered his name as soon as Hu Changshou mentioned it. Chu Jin did not expect to meet Hu Changshou here.

After recognizing them, Chu Jin immediately called out to the people around him. “The two of you, go find a few wooden ropes and get a stretcher.”

After making the arrangements, Chu Jin pulled Hu Changshou up and dragged him to a tree to lean against. Chu Jin asked curiously, “What’s going on? Does Xiaolu know that you’re here?”

Hu Changshou shook his head. “Xiaolu doesn’t know. I came here on my own. Previously, I was delayed by my family matters. I came in by myself to try my luck and was bitten by a big snake. I was poisoned.”

Hu Changshou did not tell him everything. He only gave a simple explanation.

Chu Jin looked at Hu Changshou. Hu Changshou was in a very sorry state, and he was dirty and thin. Chu Jin patted his shoulder and smiled, revealing his white teeth. “Brother Hu, you’re quite lucky. You came in alone for so long and are fine. Now that you’re in trouble, you met us. Not bad.”

It was obvious at a glance that Hu Changshou had been here for a long time. He was extraordinarily lucky that nothing had happened to him.

Hu Changshou smiled and nodded undeniably. “Yes.”

His luck was quite good. A miracle had happened to him again.

No matter what, he could live a little longer. Every day he lived was a day of hope. He did not reject it. No one knew what kind of turn of events would happen if he lived another day.

Hu Changshou was quickly placed on a stretcher. Chu Jin returned with his men. Chu Jin said to Hu Changshou, “Don’t worry. Xiaolu’s medical skills are good. Your situation might not be difficult for her.”

Hu Changshou nodded. “Thank you.”

He looked at the bright sky and thought he saw a figure. He tilted his head to take a closer look, but he didn’t see anything.

Chu Jin also tilted his head and looked. “What are you looking at?”

Hu Changshou smiled and said, “I think I saw a bird fly away just now.”

It should have been Miss Bai Xu just now. He did not see clearly, but his intuition told him that it was her. Seeing him leave, she should be at ease and not feel guilty anymore. That was good. He hoped that she would have a good future.

After they were far away, Bai Xu flew down. She stared at them with a complicated gaze for a while before finally turning around and walking into the forest.

Before Chu Jin returned to the camp, he had already started to shout, “Xiaolu, Xiaolu, come out and take a look. You definitely wouldn’t have thought that I picked up your cousin, Hu Changshou.”
