Chapter 122 Coincidental encounter with iron powder
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and in the blink of an eye, a dagger penetrated Chen Mu's neck.
Seeing that the man behind him was about to kill him, Chen Mu shouted in desperation: "A strong man only cares for money. I will give you double the amount you give me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the knife that was about to be pulled stopped.
I heard the man behind me sneer and say: "Want to survive?"
Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "I don't want to die anyway!"
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. One tael of silver will buy you some time to escape. If you can escape, I'll accept it."
Upon hearing that there was at least a glimmer of hope, Chen Mu quickly took out all the gold and silver he had, which was equivalent to nearly one hundred taels.
The killer took off the dagger and stood up: "One hundred breaths, kid, run away."
Chen Mu stood up suddenly and ran away towards the street.
Nowadays, apart from Sichuan Gate, the only people who can save him are the Yamen, but from the beginning to the end, not even a single officer or soldier was seen, and most of the officials knew about this in advance, but turned a blind eye.
So now we can only run back to Beicheng, otherwise our life is in danger!
From the south to the north of the city, there is a river named Qingshui River running through it. Along the way, there are brothels and restaurants. No matter day or night, the Qingshui River is always the most lively and prosperous place in Ba County.
In addition, the annual Lantern Poetry Festival is about to be held, and now the riverside is even more crowded with people.
"Damn it, I didn't expect there was an ambush in the city!"
Chen Mu specializes in squeezing into such crowded places. Now that he is injured, he can only rely on the flow of people to cover himself.
"Hey! Little brother, you are running too slow."
There was a sudden sound from behind, and Chen Mu, who was running so fast, almost cried.
At this moment, the killer was holding a knife and was only about twenty steps away from Chen Mu.
Following this pursuit, people on the street hurriedly hid on both sides. At that time, Chen Mu was completely exposed to the killer's blade.
Chen Mu glanced at Qingshui River aside, and made an astonishing decision in a hurry.
Suddenly he turned around and threw himself directly into the river!
After a night of heavy rain, the water flow was somewhat turbulent. With the help of the current, Chen Mu soon swam downstream.
Turning his head to look at the killer, Chen Mu finally took a long breath when he saw that he was not catching up with him. If his guess was correct, this guy must be a landlubber.
"Whoosh!"
But just when Chen Mu was secretly chuckling, a faint sound of arrows suddenly sounded from his ears.
Immediately, he felt his back sink, and an arrow stabbed into his back.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Immediately afterwards, several more strings struck quickly, and severe pain instantly spread throughout the body, and several strings even pierced the bones and joints.
Chen Mu, who lost the ability to move his hands, soon sank. As one mouthful of water fell into his stomach, his consciousness gradually began to dissipate.
The killer on the river stopped looking for Chen Mu when he saw this scene. He was hit by nearly ten arrows in a row. If he could really survive, then he would admit it.
In the daze, Chen Mu could only feel that he was lying on a soft bed. The bed and quilt were very fragrant, with a scent unique to women, but it was a bit too strong, and it seemed that the smell of dust was too strong.
Where am I? Home?
He felt excruciating pain in his back and abdomen. Before he could open his eyes, Chen Mu reached out with his hand, but unexpectedly, when he moved his hand, he suddenly picked up something extremely soft.
This feeling...
"lecher!"
"Crack!"
What followed was a slap in the face.
When Chen Mu opened his eyes suddenly, he realized that he was in a woman's boudoir.
And at the edge of the bed, a pretty woman was staring at him angrily.
"I was kind enough to save your life. You look like a gentleman. I didn't expect you to be so nasty!"
As soon as he heard this, Chen Mu knew that the plump woman in front of him was his savior.
"I...ahem, miss, I didn't mean it."
Although the woman's face was angry, she saw blood oozing from Chen Mu's back again, so she quickly brought a medicine box and prepared to apply medicine.
"Your brother, are you a fugitive or something? There are seven arrows stuck in your back, and one of you was hit in the inner thigh even though you were still alive. If I hadn't studied medicine before, you wouldn't be able to play with women in the future."
After the bleeding on his back stopped, the woman started to pull Chen Mu's pants again.
Knowing that once he took off his clothes, there would be nothing left, so Chen Mu was shocked and quickly stopped him.
"Hey, sister! Men and women don't have sex..."
The woman rolled her eyes at Chen Mu: "You've been hit by an arrow now. If you don't want to turn rotten and pus, don't bother me. Besides, I'm a brothel madam. I've seen... more people than you have ever seen."
.”
"this……"
Even though Chen Mu was thick-skinned, the woman was currently leaning into his crotch, moving her hands while looking at him very seriously.
The posture seems familiar...
Soon, the wound was bandaged again, and during the following chat, Chen Mu found out that the woman's name was Yanzhi.
I floated down the Qingshui River and was discovered by Rouge who was washing clothes.
But more than anything else, thanks to that chainmail armor, except for the arrow in the crotch, the arrows in the back didn't go very deep.
This woman is very beautiful and kind-hearted, but she can only sigh that she is a beautiful woman, how can she become a prostitute?
"But this time, thanks to Sister Rouge, if..."
"Don't assume anything. Once the injury is healed, leave as soon as possible. This is the only bed in our house."
Rouge said impatiently while flipping through a book carefully.
When I glanced at it, I realized that what I was reading was the book "Jin Ping Mei" written by Chen Mu himself.
In front of the bedside table, there are more than ten books written by Chen Mu such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Overbearing Young Master Falling in Love with Me".
And the current book is still the deluxe edition worth one hundred taels of silver in the bookstore.
Chen Mu tentatively said, "Sister Rouge, I really like reading books written by Chen Mu."
She was a woman who had experienced the world for a long time, but she didn't want to mention the name Chen Mu, so her face turned red. Although she said she was shy, her expression was more of admiration.
Chen Mu's words were like a spark that instantly ignited Yan Zhi's conversation.
"When their shop first came to Bajun, I started buying Chen Mu's books. He is really talented in literature. Oh, by the way, do you know the lyrics he wrote? I suddenly looked back at those lyrics... But this time
Ben…haha!”
Speaking of this, Yanzhi couldn't help but smile: "I found that Chen Mu, the king of Sichuan, is also quite lustful. Look at these illustrations, haha, there are many moves in the pictures that we don't know, and there are stockings and short skirts... these
Where do you sell strange things? During this period, many customers are asking us if we can wear these clothes...Eh? Why are you blushing?"
Chen Mu, who was blushing for no apparent reason, waved his hand: "Ahem...it's nothing. I'm afraid my sister will get excited and do something to me."
Upon hearing this, Yanzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Mu: "There are so many people giving money, but I won't necessarily go to bed with them, let alone you, a poor boy from Beicheng?"
After a pause, Yanzhi joked again: "If you are Chen Mu from Beicheng, I can't say... Humph, I won't talk to you anymore, can you walk a few steps? Go to the pub across the street for something to eat?"
