Chapter 30: Can I Save Him?
Hearing Xiao Shao’s answer, Xu Xiang smiled and agreed with him. The two spent their time chatting while eating snacks, before Xiao Shao noticed a group of people not far ahead. He motioned to Xiao Han, who was driving the sleigh behind, to stop.
The two stayed on the mule cart, looked at those people for a while, and then he said, "You stay here. I’ll go and have a look."
Before he jumped off the driver’s seat, Xu Xiang tugged at his sleeve to stop him and said, "Wait."
Xiao Shao glanced at Xu Xiang, but didn’t speak. Because she asked him to wait, he didn’t go down and sat there. Behind him, Xu Xiang narrowed her eyes and observed those people carefully.
After a while, she said, "One of them was seriously injured. Looking at the wound, it should be injured by a sharp weapon such as a sword."
Xiao Shao took a careful look at her and asked, "How do you know about it?"
She looked at him and calmly said, "I saw it."
Surprised by her answer, he looked at those people again. From where he was sitting, it was impossible to even see the injured person, let alone determine the cause of the wounds. Turning his eyes back to her calm face, he stared at her, lost in his thoughts.
Ignoring his probing eyes, she said, "I’ll go and have a look."
After speaking, she untied the rope and lowered the cover between the driver’s seat and the cart. With a thought, she took out a first aid kit and hid it in the empty box there, just in case. Then, she carried a water bag and got off the mule cart.
As soon as she came down, Xiao Shao was already waiting for her. He glanced at those people and said, "Let’s go together."
Seeing Xiao Han coming over, she nodded towards Xiao Shao. The two went to the group of people together. Before they got close, the sobs and cries of those people could be heard. The two looked and nodded to each other, then they approached the group calmly.
Standing two meters away from them, Xu Xiang saw that the injured man was a man in his twenties. Judging from his pale and flushed face, she knew that his state was almost the same as Xiao Shao’s when she first met the Xiao family.
While she was still observing the injured man, Xiao Shao had already walked towards that unconscious man. She saw him squatting beside him, and looking at the man with a frown in his face.
He looked at the man and called him: "Fan Zhengying!"
Seeing this, Xu Xiang raised her eyebrows, but didn’t say anything. She observed everyone present and knew they knew each other. While she was watching, the old man who was crying just now suddenly kowtowed to Xiao Shao.
The old man burst into tears and said, "Supreme General Xiao, please save my grandson. This old man begged you!"
Seeing that the old man really knew Xiao Shao, she took a look at Xiao Shao. She raised her eyebrows when their eyes met.
’Why is he looking at me like that?’
She doesn’t know why he’s staring at her like an abandoned wife, but she won’t ask because she didn’t want to know the answer. Xiao Shao stared at her for a few more seconds, but could only see her cold indifference. He looked at the Fan family members who were kneeling on the ground and crying with a deep frown on his face.
Although he used to be a supreme general, but right now, he has no ability to save people. His family can have food and water only because of Xu Xiang’s kindness. He looked at the half-dead Fan Zhengying and clenched his jaw.
He stood up, walked to Xu Xiang, grabbed her sleeve, and led her away. Xu Xiang followed behind him calmly, while glancing back at those people who were still crying and kneeling on the ground. After they walk far from the Fan family, Xiao Shao lets go of her sleeve.
He turned around, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Miss Xu, can I save him?"
Listening to his question, Xu Xiang was both curious and felt funny. She chuckled and said, "Young Master Xiao, you don’t need to ask me about what you want to do. Whether you want to save him or not is none of my business."
Hearing her cold and indifferent words, Xiao Shao suddenly felt a slight pain in his chest. This was the first time he faced her indifference, and the first time he heard her speak coldly.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I want to save him, but I don’t have the capability to do that right now."
She could sense his helplessness from his voice, but all she could see was his calm face. She lowered her eyes, thinking for a while and asked lightly: "Young Master Xiao wants me to save him?"
"Yes." He answered without hesitation.
Lifting up her eyes and seeing his serious expression, she lowered her eyes again and thought carefully.
’If I help him to save that man, can this be counted as he owes me a favor?’
She glanced at him, then at the half-dead man.
’If I use my medicine, saving that man will be no problem. I think saving him only has merit and no trouble.’
Thinking of this, she looked at him and said, "All right. I will help you save him."
Hearing that she agreed to rescue Fan Zhengying, the burden in Xiao Shao’s heart suddenly disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at her, and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu."
Seeing the slight smile at the corner of his lips, Xu Xiang felt that it’s not a loss to save that injured man because not only does he owe her a favor, she could also see him smiling. Looking at the smiling face of the handsome man is really nice.
Turning around, she walked towards the group of people while saying, "If you want to save him, let’s hurry up."
