It was almost noon, and the sun was high in the afternoon sky. The weather is hot and humid. The humidity in the air made it difficult for the two men to continue walking. Mu Dishi and Ma Jingguo rest in a small roadside pavilion.
Ma Jingguo took out his handkerchief and began to wipe Mu Dishi's face. He smiled and said, "Xiao shushu, it's too hot to walk now. Let's wait until the sun cools slightly before we continue."
Soon after they rested, a large group of villagers came to the small pavilion. A villager sits beside Mu Dishi and Ma Jingguo.
Ma Jingguo asked the man, "Where are you guy heading?"
Man, "We are heading down south."
Ma Jingguo, "Why?"
The man explained: "Three months ago, a group of bandits broke into our village and robbed us. They stole everything from us. They kidnapped many young women and killed many men." The man shook his head and sighed, "People have just recovered from the war, but natural disasters have hit us. As if that is not bad enough, there are so many bandits now that the government has not dealt with them. Many people are homeless and hungry."
Ma Jingguo, "Did the government provide assistance?"
Man, "They did, but they were all taken by bandits."
Then, a group of twenty men walked towards the group of villagers. There are nineteen men in black and one man in white. The man dressed in white is sitting on the back of a white horse, and a man dressed in black is walking side by side with the white horse holding on the leash. They stopped in front of Mu Dishi, Ma Jingguo, and the group of villagers.
The man in white asked, "Mingyang, why did you stop?"
Zhu Mingyang looked up at the man in white, "There are villagers here."
The man in white smiled and asked a villager, "Can you tell me how far Li Village is from here?"
Man, "Why are you going there? There are bandits along the way."
The man in white smiled and said, "We have some business there."
Man, "We are from Li Village, but due to bandits, we decided to leave unless we will die of hunger."
Ma Jingguo looked at the two men, then at Mu Dishi. He said quietly, "Xiao shushu, those men looks pretty tough. The man beside the horse is as handsome as you, but the man riding on the horse is as beautiful as you." He smiled. "However, you are still the rarest peach in Xiwangmu's Pantao Garden."
When Zhu Mingyang heard what Ma Jingguo was talking about, he slowly reached out for his dao sword.
The man in white noticed Zhu Mingyang's actions, so he said softly, "Mingyang, no trouble."
Zhu Mingyang withdrew his hand from the hilt of his dao sword.
Mu Dishi looked at the young man in white and said, "Regrettably, he is blind."
Ma Jingguo was surprised, "Blind?" He said loudly.
Zhu Mingyang pulled out the dao sword and rushed towards Ma Jingguo. Ma Jingguo quickly avoided Zhu Mingyang's sword. Zhu Mingyang and Ma Jingguo started fighting, and the frightened villagers ran across the road. When people rushed over, the horse became frightened, and then the horse dashed forward, causing the man in white clothes flew forward into the air. Mu Dishi used his lightness agility to fly forward and grabbed the man in white. Ma Jingguo and Zhu Mingyang stopped fighting and rushed towards Mu Dishi and the man in white.
Ma Jingguo and Zhu Mingyang shouted immediately, "Let go of him."
The man in white said softly, "Mingyang, I order you to stand down." Then, Zhu Mingyang sheathed his dao sword back into his scabbard on his back. The man in white turned to Mu Dishi and smiled. "Thank you for saving me."
Mu Dishi stared at the young handsome man; his eyes reminded him of Wang Biming. This man in white has the same eyes shape as Wang Biming. One thing Mu Dishi love about Wang Biming is Wang Biming's eyes. When sunlight hits the iris, the light brown color almost turns to hazel color.
Ma Jingguo's anger suddenly emerged from his heart. He looked at the expression on Mu Dishi's face. When Mu Dishi looks at the man in white clothes, suddenly there was a jealousy fever in his eyes. He wants to be the only person who is most important to Mu Dishi and receives full attention from Mu Dishi.
Mu Dishi could smell a faded odor from the man in white clothes' hair. Then he asked, "How long have you been blind?"
Zhu Mingyang said angrily, "Watch your word carefully."
The man in white smiled and said, "Two and a half years."
Mu Dishi walked to Ma Jingguo and said to the man in white clothes and Zhu Mingyang, "You better pay attention to what you eat, because the poison will eventually kill you."
Without warning, Zhou Mingyang fell to his knees. He begged, "Yisheng, please help him see again."
Mu Dishi said, "I can't help him because I don't know what poison he is consuming." He looked at Zhu Mingyang. "If he stops taking the poison, then his condition will improve, and he will be cured. This poison needs to be taken for a long time to kill the host without leaving any evidence."
Ma Jingguo saw Zhu Mingyang kneeling on the ground and felt sorry for the man. Ma Jingguo knows that it takes a lot of courage to make a man kneel down and beg, and the blind man must be very important to him. He walked to Zhu Mingyang and helped him. He said, "My Xiao shushu doesn't lie. Go back and think about who might want to hurt him."
Mu Dishi handed the two golden needles to Zhu Mingyang. He said, "Some poisons are tasteless and colorless. These golden needles can detect poison."
Zhu Mingyang took the golden needles from Mu Dishi, and he said, "How are these needles different from the other needles?"
Ma Jingguo laughed, "It's because these needles is made by the famous Mu family."
The man in white smiled at Mu Dishi and Ma Jingguo, "I've read about the famous yisheng Mu Jin Hua. Thank you."
He stretched out his hand and Zhu Mingyang held his hand. "Mingyang, gave our food and some of our money to the villagers."
After that, Zhu Mingyang donated part of the food and money to the villagers. He brought the man in white back to the horse. He knelt on the ground. The man in white stepped on Zhu Mingyang's thigh, and Zhu Mingyang pushed him onto the horseback with his hands. Zhu Mingyang grabbed the horse leash, and the twenty people began to leave in the direction of Li Village.
