"Hero, you are from the Central Plains, why are you in Hudi?"
There is no sound from behind.
Hou Liang continued: "Are you like me, coming to a bad place to earn a living? We are all from the Central Plains, and we are considered fellow villagers. We all say that we meet old friends in a foreign land..."
"Shut up!" A hoarse voice cut him off.
Hou Liang swallowed his saliva and closed it obediently. After a while, he started crying again: "The fortune teller said that I am a lone star of evil, and I will not die a good death in this life. It is really true. I think back then, I was doing well in my hometown.
, my parents were in court, I had a wife and children, and I was just waiting to take the exam to gain a reputation and honor my ancestors. Unexpectedly, I was inexplicably involved in a fraud case, my honor was revoked, and I was never allowed to take the scientific exam. Later, my parents were forced to death, and their family fields were taken away.
After leaving, his youngest son and his beloved wife died of illness one after another... He was left alone and had to take care of a lowly business. He finally earned a little fortune, but was forced by his opponents, so he could only take his only wealth to gamble in the wild land, hoping to turn around.
, who knew..."
He cried intermittently for a while, and when there was no response from the back, he said cautiously: "Hero, to tell you the truth, those two are not my guys, but girls I met on the road. They are beautiful, but they have thorns that are difficult to pick off.
Now that I have met you, a hero, I think you are more worthy of them. They know martial arts and are difficult to deal with. How about I help you control them, and you, hero, just treat it like a fart and let me go?"
There was finally movement behind me, and the hoarse voice asked: "Oh, how can you help me?"
Hou Liang said: "It's not difficult. I take care of their diet. If I put a medicine in it... won't you be able to do whatever you want?" As he said that, he laughed.
There was silence behind him. After a while, I heard him say: "Okay, but you have to take my secret poison first, otherwise I won't believe you."
Hou Liang looked tangled, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay! But you have to keep your word, good man! I don't want money or women, I just want this life...ah! Hiccup!"
Suddenly a hand came out from behind, stuffed something into his mouth, slapped it hard, and swallowed it.
Hou Liang was so panicked that he pinched his throat and wanted to vomit.
Hou Liang took back the knife that was against him behind his back. He vomited twice but didn't spit it out. He looked up and saw a withered and haggard face.
This man was probably in his fifties. Like the poor herdsmen on the grassland, he wore a worn-out old sheepskin. His hair was gray, his face was deeply wrinkled, and his eyes were as fierce as a wolf.
"Okay, good man!" Hou Liang stuttered.
He was in his fifties, not well maintained, and looked like an old man. But this old man was colder than the most ferocious robber he had ever seen.
He can kill, he really can kill!
Hou Liang's back broke out in cold sweat.
This person is Sheng Qi.
This month, he has been following Su Tu.
He was alone and acted carefully, but Su Tu didn't notice.
Sheng Qi is waiting for an opportunity.
Just like a wolf that has taken a fancy to its prey but lacks the strength to catch it, it follows the hunter, waiting for both of them to be injured, and then rushes out and bites the prey's neck off.
Now, he has waited.
Hou Liang didn't know Sheng Qi, but that didn't stop him from being afraid.
The killing intent in Sheng Qi was too strong.
"Take off the water bag." He said coldly.
Hou Liangzhan followed the instructions carefully.
Sheng Qi opened one of them, threw something into it, shook it twice, and said, "Give that girl a drink."
Hou Liang was stunned for a moment.
Knowing that Duofu is a girl, so this person knows a lot about their situation?
"Yes." He took it with a low eyebrow.
…
Hou Liang returned to the camp, his steps staggering.
"Sir is back." Duofu greeted.
Hou Liang smiled weakly and handed the water bag on his back to her, but said: "It's cold, you two girls should not scrub. It will be bad if you get cold."
Duofu said: "It's not winter yet!"
"It's the wilderness after all," Hou Liang said.
Duofu tilted his head and thought for a while: "It makes sense, just bear with it a little longer, I'll wipe the sweat of the lady."
Hou Liang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "Then let me boil some water? Miss Duofu, you haven't eaten yet!"
"Alright."
Duofu half-knelt beside Mingwei to take care of her, while Hou Liang untied the water bag he had been holding in his hand and poured it into the kettle.
His hands were shaking so much that he spilled a lot of it outside.
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss Ming is a lady after all. She doesn't drink raw water in the wild."
Duofu replied: "Miss said that the disease enters through the mouth, and drinking raw water will cause stomach upset."
"It makes sense. So, isn't all water poisonous?"
Duofu smiled and said: "It's not really poisonous, it's just that the things outside are somewhat unclean."
"Too."
After a while of silence, Hou Liang asked again: "Is Miss Ming asleep?"
"The young lady is seriously injured and cannot bear the fatigue."
Hou Liang said "Oh" and said as if unintentionally: "Why didn't Miss Ming poison the arrow earlier? In that case, it could be solved at once."
"How can there be such a powerful poison in this world!" Duofu said, "Xiaobai was fine when he was alive, but he is... Anyway, there are no conditions. It is not easy for the young lady to do this."
After the water boiled, Hou Liang poured it into a bamboo tube and brought it to Duofu: "Girl, just drink some dry food with the water, but don't starve."
"good."
The two people's eyes immediately separated.
After finishing the meal, Duofu packed up and went to sleep.
She and her clothes lay next to Mingwei, never leaving her.
It was getting dark, and the wind blew through the fields, carrying a rustling sound.
The sounds of footsteps mixed in there were hard to hear clearly.
Hou Liang didn't know when he got up again, and huddled aside from a distance, watching Sheng Qi approach step by step.
Sheng Qi glanced at him contemptuously, picked up the knife in his hand, and stabbed Mingwei on the body.
"Ding——" a long sound sounded.
Duofu jumped up and slashed at Sheng Qi's wrist with the dagger that had just blocked him.
Sheng Qi was startled, but luckily he kept his vigilance and turned back in time.
Unfortunately, Duofu's strength was so great that his hands went numb and he couldn't hold the knife in his hand.
Fortunately, he turned around in time and kicked the dagger out of Duofu's hand.
The two quickly exchanged hands.
Sheng Qi's moves were superb, and he was much better than Duofu, but Duofu's immense power and surging internal energy did not let him take advantage for a moment.
The two of them exchanged palms, but neither could bear the force and were knocked back.
Sheng Qi looked at Duofu and was very surprised: "Didn't you drink that water?"
"Have you ever heard of Xuanming Jade?" A voice that did not belong to Duofu sounded leisurely.
Sheng Qi turned around and saw that Mingwei slowly sat up from the haystack, his face still pale but his mind very clear.
She looked at Sheng Qi with a smile: "Master Qi is really cautious. Even if I have been seriously injured, he still chooses to poison me first. Oh, no, this is not poison, but your special medicine, right? It can make people unable to perform energy. This medicine
, Xuanming Jade can just solve it." (To be continued)
