"Snow in June and thunder in winter are not good signs."
The team moved forward slowly, and Shang Bian approached Wei Tao with a solemn expression on his face.
"Sir, did you hear the thunder rolling through the mountains and forests just now?"
"No." Wei Tao thought about it carefully, but shook his head, "I just thundered? Why didn't I hear it?"
"It's definitely thundering. I don't believe it and ask them."
Shang Bian sighed and poured a mouthful of soju into his mouth.
"What's there to ask about this? Just hit the thunder, but it didn't hit us anyway."
Wei Tao leaned on the shaft of the car, his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep next moment.
"Mr. Wei, it's windy outside. If you are tired, go into the carriage and have a rest."
The curtain was lifted, and Qu Shang poked her head out, feeling a little concerned.
Without waiting for Wei Tao to refuse, she and Wei came out from it.
"My sister and I have been sitting for too long, so we just happened to walk down and move around and move around."
Shang Bian also said, "Mr. I just took action to retreat to the enemy. I really need a rest. It's good that we can watch outside."
Wei Tao no longer refused and bent down and got into the carriage.
He was really tired, and leaned against the cushion and fell asleep.
Shang Bian pulled the reins and slowed down the car slightly.
When the carriage slowly stood firm in an open space, Wei Tao opened his eyes just right, lifted the curtain and looked out.
Smokes of smoke rose in the distance, changing into various shapes under the setting sun.
“How long have I slept?”
He took out the water bag and drank a few sips, and felt that he was full of energy and energy. He had no other problems except a little hungry.
"Sir, from the second half of the night to the first half of the night."
Shang Bian yawned with two huge dark circles.
"Is there a village?" Wei Tao pointed to the location where the smoke from cooking was located.
"Well, this should be Fengying Village, about 240 miles south of Cangyuan City."
Shang Bian opened the map and pointed a location on it, "From here and then crossing the Mingshui River, we will be out of the jurisdiction of Cangyuan City."
"Mingshui River?"
Wei Tao's heart moved and suddenly remembered that his senior brother Tan Pan once said that the teacher fought against the enemy by the Mingshui River, and I wonder if it was this river.
"Yes, Mingshui River."
Shang Bian nodded, "I heard from the sect master that the main trunk of Mingshui River is from west to east, and there is another tributary running through the north and south on the ground of Qizhou, which is considered a famous waterway.
Whether it is transporting food and grass or transporting goods, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources than land."
"Therefore, the Mingshui Gang was established, and there were many cargo owners and ship workers along the river.
And as time goes by, there are many masters inside, and they are already a major force that occupies one side."
"Those who set clear rules are located at the height of the temple, while those who set secret rules are located at the distance of the rivers and lakes." Wei Tao thought of the Cao Gang in his previous life, and couldn't help but become more interested in the Mingshui Gang.
"The temple is so high and the world is so far away. The gentleman is indeed a person who has read books, and his subordinates admire him very much."
Shang Bian gave him a small flattery and put away the map in his hand, "Would we stay in Fengying Village tonight? We can also let the brothers have a good meal and have a house to rest."
"Then let's live here." Wei Tao nodded and suddenly turned around and looked at the shrub on one side.
"You guys who are hiding there can come out."
He raised his hand and did not let Shang Bian and others approach, and walked over slowly alone.
There was a clamor.
Several people came out from the depths of the bush.
They are all women, dressed in rags, dirty and stinky, and exuding a strong stench.
"Okay, can you give us some food?"
A woman led everyone behind her and kept kowtowing.
Her accent sounded a bit weird, like a Gentile, speaking the official words of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Not far away, Wei Zi and Qu Shang looked curiously, and were soon protected by the disciples of the Qingshan Society holding swords and sent back to the carriage.
Wei Tao was silent for a moment, took out a bag of jerky meat and threw it in front of the woman.
Asked, "Who are you?"
She held the bag of jerky in her arms, "When I say to you, I fled from Mozhou to come here. When I walked here, I was cold and hungry, and I really had no strength."
Wei Tao nodded, flicked his fingers gently, and a few pieces of scattered silver fell into the woman's hands accurately.
There is also a scorching temperature on it.
He looked at her quietly, "Take the food and money, and leave."
The woman held the bag but did not leave.
He just cried in a low voice, "I beg the master to be kind and take us in."
"Hold you in, what can you do?"
Wei Tao ignored it, looked over several people and looked at the smoke gradually fading away in the distance.
"I have run a restaurant at home, washing, cooking, and keeping accounting and chores."
He smiled and said, "Can you do it if you kill someone?"
The woman looked up in shock, her eyes full of surprise.
Wei Tao's tone was plain, and then asked, "Die, you can do it."
Bang!
The woman's feet exploded and the mud and snow splashed.
She exhaled and sang loudly, and stood up.
My hands suddenly turned dark, and a faint smell of fishy smell spread.
Click!
She couldn't stand up straight after all.
Then a big hand fell down with a bang and pressed the top of her head.
The powerful force poured down, and the crackling sounds were connected into pieces.
The woman was sitting still, and blood kept pouring out of her mouth, dripping to the ground.
boom!
Another strong wind suddenly rose.
Before the other women could react, Wei Tao slapped one by one and died immediately on the spot.
Crazy.
Deep in the dense shrubs, another sound came out.
But this time I was moving away quickly.
Wei Tao jumped and caught up quickly.
Then a series of screams rang out.
There were also a dozen men with red eyes rushing out from the woods on the other side, waving their weapons toward the convoy.
The disciple of the Qingshan Society shot his hidden weapon wildly and drew his sword to meet him.
The battle broke out in an instant and ended after a few breaths.
The enemy rushed out was corpses all over the ground.
Except for one of the disciples of Qingshan Club, the others were completely injured.
Wei Tao stood in front of the woman again.
She was so angry that she smiled bitterly, "You, you are actually a master of the third turn of qi and blood."
He ignored this and just sighed and shook his head, "I gave you a chance, but you insisted on seeking death by yourself. Why is that going on?"
"How do you find out that we are not ordinary people, but warriors who want to block the road and rob..."
Wei Tao laughed and said carelessly, "You treat me as a fat sheep, but I think you are fools."
"The village is not far ahead. You said you were hungry to death, so don't you know how many bowls of porridge and rice you can go in and ask for?
Also, since I was almost starving to death, I gave you jerky meat, but you didn’t open a bag and eat it immediately. Could it be that you were afraid that I would poison you?”
The woman sighed and laughed, "You guys came too suddenly, we don't have much time to prepare."
"If you figure it out, go on the road, so as not to let others wait for you for too long."
Wei Tao nodded and pointed forward.
Click!
A woman's neck tilted back and a blood hole appeared between her eyebrows.
Blood spurted out from brain matter and immediately disappeared.
Shang Bian walked up and said, "Sir, we just dealt with the bodies and found that these people seemed a little strange."
“What’s strange?”
Wei Tao asked, "Can't they dismember themselves? Or have they grown a head?"
"The adults were joking. What the subordinates meant is that they were indeed refugees from Mozhou, but they seemed not ordinary refugees."
Shang Bian said as he led Wei Tao to a male corpse.
He squatted down, lifted up one of the people's clothes, and exposed the tattoo on his chest.
Wei Tao was a little distracted at first.
But the moment he saw the tattoo, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, immediately squatted to Shang Bian, and approached him to observe carefully.
Swish!
The sword light flashed continuously.
Soon everyone's clothes were all picked up, and everyone had the same tattoo on their chests.
That was an eye.
To be precise, it is a vertical pupil.
There are also many straight lines that radiate from the vertical pupil, and the meaning is very clear, and it should be that the eyes are emitting light outwards.
"The Luocha tribe is actually a member of the Luocha tribe!"
Wei Tao immediately stood up, quickly walked to the woman, and cut open the cotton coat she was wearing with one knife.
This time, he did not see a vertical pupil tattoo, but a completely different tattoo.
It is like a dragon, or a python.
Coiled below her navel, it was blue-gray and ferocious.
Shang Bian looked at the tattoo curiously, but was even more curious about why his boss was so frustrated.
Wei Tao was silent for a long time and sighed involuntarily.
"I was always worried about how to find them.
As a result, the sky had eyes to ask them to come up on their own initiative, but I was beaten to death.
