Chapter 166: Meet the She-Wolf Again
Since he was not in a hurry, Ji Chou did not drive the giant deer to run quickly. Since this was the main road from Luohan City to Liuguang City, there were many pedestrians, carriages and horses on the road. He did not pay attention to others along the way, and there was no one there.
Pay attention to him.
Ji Chou's mood at this time can only be described as sad. No matter what he does, whether it is struggle or hard work, he needs a reason. Even living actively requires reasons and motivation, but he can't find any motivation now.
When Fu Bo was here, Fu Bo was the motivation for him to work hard. He hoped to make Fu Bo proud. But now Fu Bo is no longer there. Fu Bo is here, but he still has a family. When Fu Bo is gone, there is no home.
.
He had a very good relationship with Ji Haoran before, and he had always regarded Ji Haoran as a relative. However, after joining the Soul-Suppressing Alliance, Ji Haoran became alienated from him, and even began to plot against him, trap him, and rob him of his ability to sense the Five Elements Mysterious Spirits.
It is said that Ji Haoran was clearly not poisoned when he returned to Jukuzhou, but he pretended to be poisoned and forced him to continue bleeding after he had already lost too much blood, causing him to almost lose his life.
To be fair, he was very dissatisfied with Ji Haoran, but he did not resent Ji Haoran, because Ji Haoran was really good to him when he was useless. There is always such a kind of person who will protect and help the other person when he is weak.
And when the other party becomes stronger, or even surpasses himself, he starts to exclude and suppress the other party. Ji Haoran is undoubtedly this kind of person, but just because Ji Haoran treats him badly now, all the good things that Ji Haoran did to him before should not be taken away.
To obliterate them and treat them as enemies is unfair and a breach of trust.
Since Uncle Fu died and Ji Haoran turned against him, Ji Ling'er became his only concern and sustenance. For Ji Ling'er, he must also live an active life and work hard to improve his spiritual energy cultivation and not let Ji Ling'er down.
He also couldn't let those monks who were not optimistic about the relationship between the two laugh at Ji Ling'er for looking away and following the wrong person, but now he didn't know how to face Ji Ling'er.
The more serious he is, the more he cares, the less he tolerates flaws. Ji Ling'er is the daughter of the leader of the alliance, and she has a golden branch. He originally felt that he was not worthy of her, but now that he has flaws, he will really be shameless when he sees Ji Ling'er in the future.
relatively.
Depressed and depressed, he felt that everything was hopeless and no matter what he did, it was meaningless. Ji Chou also found that his current mentality was not right. He also found that his mentality was not strong enough and his mind was not mature enough. He also wanted to work hard to adjust, but many times
Despite all the efforts, he still couldn't untie the knot and couldn't get out of this haze. He was only seventeen years old and could not have a very strong psychological quality. The feelings when he first fell in love were the most sincere and pure. Perhaps in the eyes of adults,
This kind of thing will not affect the essence at all, but in his opinion, this relationship is flawed.
After trying to adjust again and again, Ji Chou was finally relieved. The reason why he was relieved was not because he opened the knot in his heart, but because he thought of a reality that he had always ignored, that is, anyone who senses the Five Elements Xuanling when sealing Tianchu will die.
, and since he is a person who can sense fire-attributed mysterious spirits, he is naturally not immune. Even if there are no complications, he will not be able to stay with Ji Ling'er forever.
When the time comes, it is inevitable to sacrifice one's life for justice. In this case, he cannot allow himself to take away Ji Ling'er's innocence. If he thinks about it carefully, Bai Jiuqing's sacrifice of his life to save him has not changed the outcome in any way. Even if nothing happened before,
There will be no result between him and Ji Linger.
This kind of relief was the relief of drinking poison to quench his thirst. It did not change his gloomy mood. On the contrary, it made the gloom in his heart even more intense. Death is not scary, but waiting to die is scary. Sometimes knowing the result in advance is not a good thing, just like sensing the five elements.
Xuanling's Jiang Xi, Ji Hui and others did not know what was waiting for them, so they were very relaxed during the period before the final result arrived.
Since Ji Chou did not ride a giant deer to run fast, warriors and monks riding deer would overtake him from time to time. Ji Chou did not know these people, and his bamboo hat was worn very low, so no one could see him as he passed by.
to his face.
The winter days in Beilinghuang are very short, and the sun sets at Shenshi. Before night falls, Ji Chou rushes to an inn built on the roadside. This inn is very large, and is specially designed for passers-by to stay.
Unlike the southern border, the nights are very cold and we cannot sleep outdoors.
Although the inn was large, there were also many passers-by and traders and footmen passing by. When he went down to the deer to inquire, he was told that there were no guest rooms, only a common shop where dozens of people lived together.
Ji Chou didn't want to live with others. Among so many people, there was bound to be someone who snored, which would affect his rest.
When he found out that the next inn was fifty miles away, Ji Chou mounted the giant deer and started on the road again. This time he shook the reins and urged, and finally arrived at the next inn before the second watch.
Just by looking at the number of carriages and horses in the fence, Ji Chou knew that there must be guest rooms here, but before he reached the door, he found that many people gathered at the door of the inn, and there were sounds of smashing and yelling from the crowd. The sound sounded like
Someone is fighting.
Ji Qiu got off the deer and led the giant deer forward to observe. Because there was a crowd blocking it, he could not see clearly what was going on in the crowd. It seemed that it was not two groups of people fighting in groups, but a group of people beating one person.
The person who was beaten made a cry of pain, and the sound was a bit weird, half like a beast and half like a woman.
"It must have stolen the antlered deer that was lost last night, so we can't let it go lightly." someone shouted from the crowd of onlookers.
At this time, he and she were pronounced differently. Hearing this person's cry, Ji Chou squinted to see the aura of the person who was being beaten. He was not a human being, but an alien. To be precise, he was a wolf.
That cry of pain was vaguely familiar to him. After thinking about it, he quickly remembered that he had met this person before. That day when he went to Luohan City for the first time, he had helped a female wolf. The ginseng tree in the wooden box was the female wolf.
Brought.
That day, the she-wolf once said that her children were starving, but this time everyone beat her, but she did not refute, indicating that everyone did not accuse her unjustly, and that she had indeed stolen something.
Thinking of this, Ji Chou hurriedly tied up the giant deer, pushed aside the crowd and walked in. Sure enough, it was the female wolf that was beaten that day. She was tied to the horse-tethering stone with an iron chain, and the clothes on her body were already
Shabby, this time he was beaten, his clothes were torn, his nose was broken, his face was covered with blood, he was pitiful and pitiful.
"Stop." Ji Chou pushed away a strong man who was kicking the she-wolf.
There were seven or eight people who beat up the she-wolf. Judging from the way they were dressed, they must have been escorts escorting goods. Seeing their companions being pushed, everyone focused their attention on his face and shouted loudly, intending to take action.
"I'll pay for whatever it stole." Ji Chou said.
There are always some people who regard other people's kindness as weakness. When Ji Chou offered compensation, everyone thought he was afraid. One of them stepped forward and pushed him, "You want to compensate? Can you afford it?"
Another person stepped forward and knocked off his bamboo hat with a wave of his hand, "You're pretending to be a good person, right?"
After the hat was knocked off, everyone could see his face clearly. At the same time, they also saw the scars on his face and the anger in his eyes.
This group of people have been working as escorts all year round. It is impossible for them to have no sharp eyesight at all. They can roughly tell which ones are tough and which ones are ruthless. After Ji Chou frowned and tilted his head, the two escorts close to him subconsciously
He took a few steps back.
Ji Chou turned to look at the other bodyguards. He didn't want to kill anyone, but he was very dissatisfied with the crowd beating up a female wolf raising cubs. But even if he was dissatisfied, it would be revealed in his emotions and eyes.
It's enough to make everyone fearful.
After looking at everyone, Ji Chou bent down and picked up the bamboo hat, "What did it steal?"
"It killed two of our antlered deer." someone answered.
The antlered deer this man was talking about was the giant deer he was riding. Knowing the price, he opened his purse and took out the silver coins.
Seeing that he really paid, and seeing that there was still a lot of silver in his wallet, someone took the opportunity to extort him, "It's not two, it's three. The other end was bitten by it too, and he's going to die."
Ji Chou didn't say anything, but took out fifteen taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the bodyguard who was closer to him.
The escort took the money and weighed it.
Ji Chou walked over and wanted to untie the iron chain. At this moment, another bodyguard took advantage of the situation and said, "The ones who were bitten to death were all doe with cubs. One corpse has two lives, and each one costs ten taels of silver."
