It was still raining heavily outside. Jizi was guarding the door of the hut, looking at the sky. Xia Shang's graceful back fell into Xia Shang's eyes. He felt that if there was such a woman living in a private home, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire small village.
"Is the sky full of holes? Why does it keep raining?"
"Stop wandering around outside." Xia Shang reminded Ji Zi seriously as he watched Ji Zi gradually become bolder.
"It doesn't matter. You said that with some formations here, people outside will not find us. And you also said that everything we encounter in the future will be good things and nothing bad will happen."
Jizi gradually became more cheerful, and Xia Shang also felt more relieved. He turned his gaze back to the fire and looked at the burning shape of the flames with some numbness. His thoughts wandered to nowhere.
Xia Shang had been on high alert for some time before and had not had such a simple rest for a long time, so he was not very clear about what was in his mind at this time.
Suddenly I heard Yoshiko's voice: "Is this day or night? These dark clouds have blocked the sky, and I don't even know what time it is."
Xia Shang was interrupted by Ji Zi's voice, and instinctively replied: "It shouldn't be past noon, and the rain started in the morning, so..."
Xia Shang's voice paused and his expression changed.
Jizi had already returned to the house at this time. Seeing Xia Shang's face, he couldn't help but be startled and asked, "What's wrong? What did you think of?"
Xia Shang stood up suddenly, looked at the sky, and said plausibly: "It is noon now, but the sky is like night. This is the time when yin and yang are reversed as mentioned in the book. The hexagrams at this time should be looking the other way! Just now
If the hexagram shows great good fortune, then it means great misfortune. Something else will definitely happen after that!"
As soon as Xia Shang finished speaking, Ji Zi saw the figure in the rain: "Xia, do you think those are the three people just now?"
Following what Yoshiko pointed out, he saw three figures, exactly the three people who left just now.
"Why are they back again?" Jizi asked doubtfully.
Xia Shang had already raised his samurai sword because he had noticed that the three of them were acting in a panic and running towards the cabin where they were.
More importantly, as the three of them got closer and closer, they could see more and more clearly.
Xia Shang noticed that something was wrong with the young man named Yu Qing. He was being carried by the woman.
I don’t know, and my right arm is broken.
Seeing this scene, Xia Shang guessed that the bad omen predicted by the hexagram had already happened, and these three people would implicate Xia Shang and the others.
Xia Shang frowned and said something bad to himself.
In order to allow these three people to leave the small village smoothly, the Qimen Dunjia Formation unknown outside was removed.
Who would have thought that they would encounter enemies at this time? Without the protection of the formation, the hut where Xia Shang and the others were located had no cover at all, not to mention there were three people leading the way.
At this time, it was too late to activate the formation. Xia Shang was injured and could not fight against a master. This situation was really a headache.
One second they were chatting and laughing, and the next second they were in such big trouble.
Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, and Ji Zi beside him also noticed the situation of the three of them and actually ran towards them.
Xia Shang reacted quickly, grabbed Ji Zi, pulled her back into his arms with a strong tug, then quickly returned to the hut and closed the door cutely.
"What are you doing? Some of them seem to be injured and need help."
Xia Shang didn't have time to explain to her, so he carried Jizi and climbed out of the window on the side of the hut, and then moved away from the hut little by little, leaning on the cover.
Seeing Xia Shang being so nervous, Ji Zi also shut up obediently.
After Jizi calmed down, Xia Shang let go of her and made gestures to ask Jizi to follow him.
Xia Shang walked with Ji Zi for two or three minutes, being careful all the way.
Fortunately, there was heavy rain as a cover. No matter how powerful the expert was, it would be difficult to track people in such an environment.
Finally, Xia Shang stopped at the place where the corpses had been piled up. Next to it was a small pit.
They were originally going to bury the body, but they were interrupted because they met the three people on the way.
Xia Shang pointed to the pit: "Go in."
Jizi didn't react at the first time and didn't know what Xia Shang meant.
Xia Shang repeated: "Go in."
"Me?" Yoshiko pointed at herself in disbelief, "Go in?"
"That's right, now we can only hide among the corpses."
Yoshiko froze on the spot. For a girl, having to hide in a pit where corpses were supposed to be buried, surrounded by countless corpses, was definitely more uncomfortable than death.
"Listen to me, there is no time to waste!"
Xia Shang was very nervous and his voice rose a bit.
Looking at Xia Shang's appearance, Ji Zi didn't know where she got the courage and jumped directly into the pit.
The pit is not big, and even if Jizi sits down, half of his head will be exposed.
What Ling Jizi didn't expect was that when she entered the pit, Xia Shang helped push all the corpses nearby into the pit!
Ji Zi was so frightened that her face turned green and she almost vomited.
Before there was a sound of protest, Xia Shang turned around and left.
Seeing Xia Shang's leaving figure and his sloppy steps while holding the katana, Yoshiko knew that he wanted to be absolutely safe.
Although the scene at this moment was indescribable, Yoshiko felt that she should endure it all.
"Even if I can't help much, at least I can make him feel at ease..."
Yoshiko muttered silently, then closed her eyes.
In the rain, although Xia Shang's body was very weak, his mind was very clear.
The three people just now were not considered masters at all. The two young men were considered to be at the middle level of the Central Plains martial arts world. Not to mention the veteran, he was nothing short of a magician.
If such a combination encounters a master, it is absolutely impossible to survive.
Judging from the hexagram just now, the enemy we encountered this time was not simple.
And the people who could make Xia and Shangdu feel extraordinary were even more irresistible to those three people.
If those three people were discovered, the opponent would definitely be able to kill them easily.
But the fact that these three people were still alive must have been deliberately done by their opponents.
Seeing the three people running towards the hut, Xia Shang had already guessed his opponent's intention.
The enemy hiding in the dark must also know that there is a formation in this small village, but he does not understand why people who enter the small village are lost and have some fears in their hearts, so they use these three people as bait and follow their escape to find them.
The location of Xia Shang.
Therefore, when he saw the three people running over, Xia Shang definitely could not meet them. He had to hide himself immediately so that the enemies in the dark would not seize the opportunity to make the first move.
After Xia Shang settled himself, he naturally wanted to return to the hut. Perhaps the enemy in the dark would kill them when they found out that these three people were useless. As long as the other party took action first, Xia Shang could continue to play the role of hiding in the dark.
