Gu Yuan originally thought that after dealing with those big fat men and those men with simple swords, he would be able to take Qi'er away.
Who would have thought that this old man in blue would suddenly appear again, and he was already extremely impatient.
Without saying a word, he just stepped towards the old man in blue and killed him.
The old man in blue didn't expect that Gu Yuan would launch an attack without even answering. He originally thought of stopping Gu Yuan first and waiting for his subordinates to arrive before taking action.
But Gu Yuan had already charged forward, and he did not flinch. He shouted angrily, "You're here just in time, let me teach you a lesson for this young boy!"
After saying that, he waved the iron whip in his hand and hit Gu Yuan menacingly.
The old man in blue and Gu Yuan went back and forth, hitting each other more than a dozen times.
The old man in blue didn't have a high level of cultivation. Gu Yuan was purely interested in his iron whip and wanted to see his moves. Otherwise, he would have beaten the old man to death long ago.
In the fight between the two, Gu Yuan was always taking advantage of the situation and rarely took the initiative to attack.
After fighting for a while, the old man in blue felt something bad in his heart. He had already seen that Gu Yuan focused on defense.
After all, the old man in blue was old. After fighting for a long time, he felt a little exhausted. When he saw Gu Yuan, he still looked calm.
He was a little flustered, feeling that if the fight continued without fifty moves, he might be defeated.
The old man in blue regretted taking this job. He never thought that such a powerful opponent as Gu Yuan would appear in escorting the refugees this time.
My physical strength is no longer what it used to be. If I continue to fight like this, I'm afraid I'll have to hand over my life here.
The old man in blue felt timid, and his moves were inevitably a little out of shape. He was thinking about finding an opportunity to escape, but his steps became chaotic.
Gu Yuan immediately caught his flaw, stepped forward with a big stride, and shook his shoulders to avoid the iron whip struck by the old man in blue.
At the same time, he punched forward suddenly and hit the old man in blue directly on the chest with his fist.
Immediately, he reached back, grabbed the old man in blue's elbow, and pulled the old man in blue back directly when he should have been thrown away by Gu Yuan.
"Crack!"
Gu Yuan raised his knee and hit the old man in blue's chest hard.
The old man in blue received a second heavy blow to his chest, and his sternum exploded directly, piercing into his internal organs.
"You, you..." The old man in blue vomited blood and was kicked by Gu Yuan again. He looked like he would not survive.
Qi'er ran over excitedly and cried:
"Brother Gu, wuwuwu..."
When Gu Yuan saw Qi'er crying, he suddenly felt a headache, "Stop talking, just go back to the inn with me first."
Gu Yuan threw away the body of the old man in blue and rushed back to the inn with Qier.
Inside the inn, Gu Yuan and his three men quietly watched Qi'er wolfing down the food on the table. It was obvious that he had been hungry for many days.
The three of them were a little confused. What had Qi'er experienced in the past few days?
Why are you so hungry?
I still remember that when I got along with Qier before, this little girl always acted very quiet and strong in front of the three of them.
But in just a few days, the little girl who followed them around had undergone such a big change.
This made Gu Yuan and the others very curious about what happened to Qi'er.
After Qi'er put down the bowl he had been holding in his hand, Gu Yuan and the other two looked at each other, and then Yi Wu took the initiative and asked cautiously:
"Qi'er, why are you regarded as a refugee?"
“Have you been abducted by human traffickers?
How about we take you back to Shangsha Village?"
As soon as Yi Wu finished speaking, Qi'er, who was sitting opposite him, had red eyes and cried "Wow" immediately.
This left Gu Yuan and the other two monks at a loss.
"Hey, Miss Qi'er, don't cry. If you have something to say, talk to us. Didn't you meet us?
We will help you if you need anything."
Yi Wu quickly comforted Qi'er in a panic for a while, and it took a while before Qi'er's mood calmed down again.
It was only then that Qi'er sobbed while telling Gu Yuan and the others what she had experienced these days.
"me……"
"Brother Gu Yuan, Brother Yi Wen, Brother Yi Wu..."
"Woooooooo..."
"Shangsha Village is gone. I, I can never go back."
The three of them were stunned. Yi Wen and Yi Wu spoke almost at the same time.
"What?
What is going on?
Qi'er, don't cry, tell me what happened?"
"Yeah, what the hell is going on?
How could Shangsha Village just disappear?"
"We detoxified Shangsha Village before we left. Are you poisoned again?"
"No, no, we are not poisoned...wuwuwu..."
"Hey, stop crying. Can you tell me what happened first?
This is really annoying.”
Gu Yuan on the side also looked serious, looking at Qi'er, waiting for her to explain the matter clearly.
Qi'er sobbed again and shed a lot of tears before telling the story to Gu Yuan and the others.
Listening to Qi'er's intermittent narration, the faces of Gu Yuan and the others became more and more gloomy.
Yi Wu even ignored his injuries and was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed several times.
It turned out that just after Gu Yuan and the others left Shangsha Village, Zhang Kun's body was found by men sent by Zhou Zhenbing from the ghost market in Tianshui Town.
After Zhou Zhenbing saw Zhang Kun's body, he became furious.
People were immediately sent to Shangsha Village to look for clues about Gu Yuan and the others.
When the old village chief saw the appearance of those people, he concluded that those people were not good people and felt that those people would be detrimental to Gu Yuan and the others.
Gu Yuan and the others not only refined the antidote, but also saved the villagers of Shangsha Village.
He also went upstream to kill poisonous beasts and solved the water source problem in Shangsha Village.
The old village chief and the villagers of Shangsha Village did not want to be ungrateful, so no one spoke up and leaked the whereabouts of Gu Yuan and the others to those people.
Who would have thought that these people would be so crazy that they inflicted various punishments on the villagers of Shangsha Village.
They also arrested all the children and women in the village and threatened the people in the village that they would treat the children and women as refugees and sell them to distant places.
There was a pregnant woman's husband in the village. He didn't want to see his wife and unborn child suffer, so he told those people the clues about the departure of Gu Yuan and the others.
Who knew that after these people got the news, they not only failed to keep their promise and released the arrested children and women.
Instead, he wielded his butcher knife and slaughtered all the young men and old people in Shangsha Village.
Only the children and young women who were arrested in Shangsha Village were left, and they were escorted back to the ghost market.
Except for some who were tortured to death, the rest have recently been treated as refugees by ghost markets and sent to different places to be sold as goods.
