The afterglow of dusk poured over the side of the valley, giving the sparse weeds a layer of warm sunlight.
The temperature in the small valley gradually becomes cooler.
Kongrou walked out of the cave, the cool breeze blew on her face, and she tightened the mink cloak around her body.
When she came to a piece of exposed dirt, she squatted down and grabbed a dead branch nearby, and started to dig up the dirt with her small white hands.
She was digging hard, her expression seemed to be longing for her, and she seemed to be saying goodbye.
After a while, a shallow pit was dug.
Take out an old bracelet made from the bones of monster beasts from your waist.
This was her grandfather's favorite thing. When he was critically ill earlier, he planned to let her exchange it for some gold and silver items, but in the end he didn't use it.
She buried the bone bracelet inside and collected nearby rocks to build a small pile of rocks.
After doing this, she washed her hands in the small pool of water near the entrance of the hole. Her two little hands became red and numb due to excessive exertion.
Kongrou put her little hands on her face, using the low temperature of her face to relieve the pain.
Returning to the small pile of rocks and squatting down, smelling the lingering smell on the mink cloak, she felt inexplicably at peace.
Thinking of Brother He, she couldn't help but look towards the mouth of the valley, feeling a little uneasy but also vaguely expecting.
"Swiss, swiss, swish..." The sound of stepping on sand and gravel suddenly came from the mouth of the valley, from far to near.
Kongrou stood up with a swish, her face that was flushed by the cold wind instantly bloomed with joy.
"Brother He, please go back..."
As soon as the person came out, the words she wanted to shout stopped abruptly, and her face became wary.
"There's someone here!" The tall, thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spoke in a high-pitched voice, and he was a little surprised at the moment.
He and Lao Zhao were walking around looking for elixirs and the like. They happened to pass by and came in to take a look. Unexpectedly, they saw a little girl here.
Lao Zhaotou, who was traveling with him, was also very surprised. He was not only surprised to meet a little girl in this wilderness, but also because he had seen this little girl before.
Kong Rou also quickly recognized him. It was the bad old man who had set up a stall next to her two days ago. When he met his benefactor for the first time, he threatened to steal her business, which made her a little nervous.
Old Zhao's cloudy old eyes flashed. After carefully looking around to make sure there was no one around, he sent a message to the tall and thin young man to say something.
The tall and thin young man's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said joyfully without any scruples: "She is the person the Wuming Gang is offering a high price to catch? Then aren't we lucky!"
Thinking of the suspicious things before, Old Zhaotou looked at Kong Rou with a greedy look: "And the flame stone she sold last time seems to have some mystery. Maybe we can find another way to make money."
"Then what are you waiting for? Catch her and interrogate her carefully." The tall and thin young man became even more impatient after hearing this.
Kongrou's face suddenly turned pale, and her body subconsciously stepped back.
"Be careful, she may appear here and there may be someone to protect her." Old Zhaotou reminded worriedly.
"She shouldn't be here. Didn't you hear what that girl yelled just now?"
The tall and thin young man was very confident in his own strength, and said indifferently: "Look at how frightened she is, I guess that person has left."
"Then take it away quickly." Lao Zhaotou urged.
She was just a girl who didn't even have a realm, but they didn't actually take it seriously.
Facing the pressing pressure, Kongrou, who had no retreat, turned around and ran back to the cave.
The two people were about to follow in, but unexpectedly a ball of blazing flames suddenly exploded and struck out.
The two of them were unprepared for a moment, and when they reacted, their bodies were inexplicably sluggish, and they were both hit.
Fortunately, it was just one dish, and they could tolerate it completely, but they just looked a little embarrassed.
The tall and thin young man even had his eyebrows burnt, while Old Zhaotou's clothes were only slightly burnt in comparison.
The tall and thin young man felt embarrassed and cursed: "This damn girl!"
Feeling angry, he tried to enter the cave again alone.
Although he was on guard this time, he somehow made a small mistake and failed to take a steady step, and in the blink of an eye he was forced back by a ball of fire.
His luck seems to be very bad today.
Seeing that Kong Rou in the cave could still take out a red Taoist talisman, the tall and thin young man had no time to think about it, but instead became greedy: "Very good, there are so many Taoist talismans. Girl, as long as you come out obediently, we promise you
, free from the pain of flesh and blood."
Old Zhaotou was also attracted his attention and also moved his thoughts.
Ignoring what the people outside said, Kong Rou stared at the hole nervously.
She was anxious and scared, looking forward to He Gu coming back soon.
"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. Let's see how many Taoist charms you squander!"
Feeling ignored, the tall and thin young man became angry and planned to force his way in.
"I'll cover you." Old Zhaotou said.
"It's just one or two Taoist talismans." The implication was that the tall and thin young man felt that he could handle it himself.
Lao Zhaotou secretly shook his head. As someone who has experienced this, he understood the young and energetic nature of his companion, but he did not let him act alone. He just changed his position from covering to following.
When Kongrou heard what they said, she was immediately over-anxious. Her mind went blank and she was at a loss.
"Ah, don't come over!
You... don’t come here!"
Seeing the tall and thin young man approaching again, she didn't have time to think too much, and in a panic, she took out the stack of Taoist talismans given to her by He Gu.
He closed his eyes tightly and smashed his brain randomly.
……
In the large area of old houses to the east of Tianyang City, there is a luxurious mansion that is incompatible with the surroundings. The plaque on the door reads "Wuming Gang" in three big and bohemian characters.
At this time, in the innermost study room, Sun Zi, the leader of the Sun gang who was so famous earlier, now has a bruised nose and face, and is kneeling down like a pug to beg for mercy.
"Sir, spare your life! All of this was ordered by the beast named Cai, and I had no choice but to take my own life..."
He Gu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.
With a flash of sword light, Sun Zi's words were cut off in his throat, and he fell to the ground with shock still on his face.
After confirming that Sun Zi could no longer die, He Gu quickly checked the secret stone in his body.
It turns out that Kong Rou’s death prediction is still there.
Is it destined to be unchangeable?
Now he is a little confused, and this result is very bad for him!
Or do you have to wait until today?
After setting a fire and suppressing his melancholy, He Gu quietly left the place with his mind full of questions.
Afterwards, he returned to Kong Rou's former residence and saw the dead body of an old man on the floor of the inner room.
Putting the body into a storage bag, he quietly left the city.
He stepped on the flying sword and swept all the way to the valley outside the city.
We were only half way to the incense stick, when suddenly there was a small noise from the mountains ahead.
"That direction... is not good!" He Gu's expression changed and he speeded up with all his strength.
When he arrived at the entrance of the valley, a series of loud noises came from inside, causing landslides nearby, and most of the entrance was immediately blocked.
He Gu's face darkened, and he stepped on his sword and shot violently.
As soon as we entered the valley, a wolfish blood shadow happened to run towards the entrance of the valley.
He Gu's heart immediately rose, and he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the appearance of the person clearly.
Without hesitation, he struck at the bloody shadow with a punch carrying the fiery red spirit flame.
