The person who rushed into the courtyard was a man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. He didn't take two steps before he fell down and lay on the ground. Ji Cha and Hong Chen were so shocked that they took a few steps away. When they saw that the man was no longer moving, there were also people outside the courtyard.
No one else came in, so he cautiously approached. Ji Cha pointed at the man's head and said, "Take off his bamboo hat and see who he is."
Hong Chen asked: "Why don't you lift it yourself?"
Ji Cha replied: "What if this person is pretending to be dead and suddenly jumps up and chops me while I'm squatting down?"
Hong Chen thought to himself: If this were to be the case, wouldn't I be the one who got stabbed in the past? But after hearing it, the man was breathing weakly, as if he had been seriously injured, so he didn't hesitate anymore and leaned over to kill him.
The man flipped over.
A face that seemed to have been seen before came into view. Before Hong Chen could recall who this person was, Ji Cha cursed next to him: "Damn it, why is he this damn hunchback again? It's like a dog-skin plaster that sticks to us.
Let go!" Only then did Hong Chen recognize that this person was the bell hunchback he had met twice. However, the second time he saw him was in the dark, and the first time he saw him was also at night. Now he is curled up and hunched over. It is not obvious at first glance.
I didn't expect it to be him.
Ji Cha picked up the Xuefeng knife he had used to cut branches from the ground, handed it to Hong Chen, and said, "Cut off his head and send it to the government. We can make thousands of taels of silver." Hong Chen didn't take it and shook his head.
"We shouldn't kill him." Ji Cha heard this and immediately said, "A grown man is weaker than a little girl? This guy is a flower picker. He has bullied many young girls and good women. You
Killing him is just to avenge them."
Hong Chen was stunned and said, "I mean, you can wake him up first and ask him some questions. After that, it won't be too late to send him to the official." Ji Cha thought about it, and there were indeed many doubts and mysteries about Zhong Tuozi.
, then he put down Xue Fengqie and said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with letting this damn hunchback live for two more days."
Zhong Tuozi was unconscious, his lips were blue and his face was frighteningly pale. Ji Cha squatted down, stretched out his right hand, put it on his wrist, closed his eyes and waited for more than ten breaths, then opened his eyes and said, "This hunchback is covered in ice."
The cold internal force has invaded, and he is really going to die!" Hong Chen said: "Can this injury be saved? General Dai injured him yesterday, and ordered his men to monitor the medical clinics and drug stores in the city. I am afraid that he has not received any treatment until now.
.”
Ji Cha thought for a while and said, "It's possible to save someone, but I can't. It's up to you to take action."
Hong Chen quickly shook his head: "Me? I'm not a doctor, let alone."
"It doesn't take any medical skills to save him." Ji Cha said, "As long as Dai Wanshan's icy internal energy is driven away from his body, he can be brought back from the gate of hell. But Dai Wanshan's internal energy is much stronger than mine, so he can only be saved by
You come."
Hong Chen asked: "Then how should I drive away the cold power from him?"
"Alas, I will tell you the supreme secret code of Huangtian Sect. Please listen and remember it."
Ji Cha then recited a series of formulas, but they were not the secret scriptures of the Huangtian Sect, but just ordinary methods of passing the force and pushing the breath.
Hong Chen memorized the formula and recited it silently in his heart several times, and then he felt the river in his body rushing towards the palm of his hand, but it was not as rough and wild as before when he learned the palm of Hercules, and there was some strange pattern hidden in the rush. He couldn't help but think:
"The senior masters who created martial arts are really powerful. They can produce various changes in internal energy and have different effects."
The two of them carried Zhong Tuozi into the house and put him on the bed. Ji Cha said, "I'll go outside and open the door for you. You take off his shirt, press his hump with both hands, and pump in your own inner strength until his lips return to normal."
Color, then the cold power in his body will be almost driven away."
Hong Chen nodded and asked, "What about the other injuries on his body?"
"Then there's nothing I can do to help." Ji Cha shrugged, "Besides, why do you care so much? If you don't just chop off his head, you'd be doing your best. Saving his life is simply noble. Treating other injuries, you're so kind.
Do you want to be a good person?"
"That's right, cure him and he will run away again." Hong Chen said, "When I was in Taoyuan, a bamboo rat tried to escape, but got stuck on the railing and twisted its leg. I asked the doctor to fix it.
Bones, but it ended up escaping again after its legs healed. From then on, my master and I no longer sent injured bamboo rats for treatment, but simply stewed them."
"Damn it, I always hear you talking about bamboo rats. What does that stuff taste like? I have to try it one day."
Ji Cha smashed his lips and left the house.
Hong Chen took off Zhong Tuozi's bamboo hat and raincoat, and then took off his shirt, revealing a rugged and terrifying body. The originally hunched body, now the entire right shoulder has sunk in, and it's scary to look at it.
I'm scared, and I don't know how many intact bones there are.
Covering the hump with both hands, Hong Chen closed his eyes and performed the exercises. While feeling the rushing river, there was also a cold force coming from Zhong Tuozi's body to his palms, as if there were many tiny needles pricking him. Hong Chen frowned slightly and said to himself
His internal strength is higher than that of Dai Wanshan, but he still feels very uncomfortable when the cold force hits his palm. The meridians and bone marrow of Zhongtuozi's whole body are invaded by the cold force. He doesn't know what kind of pain it will be.
The river continued to flow, and the coldness on Hong Chen's palms gradually faded away. Zhong Tuozi's complexion did not get much better, but the color of his lips returned to normal little by little. When he felt a little tired, Hong Chen took back his hands and stopped for a while, waiting.
Rest to ease the pain, and then continue to dispel the cold.
This was repeated three times, and after a total of two hours, the green color on Zhong Tuozi's lips faded away. Hong Chen put on his clothes, walked out and wanted to call Ji Cha to come in, but he saw Ji Cha sitting in the yard with his legs crossed, holding a cup of wine in his hands.
He was eating a piece of cake, with a piece of cloth spread beside it, two cakes and a bowl of soup on it.
Hong Chen didn't eat corn at that time and was already hungry. He picked up a piece of cake and ate it. He felt it was much more fragrant than the cake he had eaten before. He asked, "Where did the cake come from? It's so fragrant." Ji Cha said, "Next door.
A family member just baked it, so I climbed over the wall and grabbed it. I guess a lot of eggs and chopped green onions were added when making the noodles."
"Then did you keep any money?"
"without."
"Didn't I say that now that we are not short of money, we should keep some money after taking other people's things."
"If I don't stay, can you care?"
"Why don't you care? It's been agreed before. You have to keep your word."
Hong Chen was a little annoyed. During the past few days since he came to Tianwei City, he and Ji Cha had spent most of their time hiding here and there, stealing their daily meals. Hong Chen felt that it must be very serious if ordinary people worked hard all day and their food was stolen.
Feeling sad, he always left some scraps of silver. Unexpectedly, today Ji Cha acted without permission, and the family next door was obviously not a wealthy family, so he didn't leave a penny, which was really wrong.
Ji Cha snatched the cake back from Hong Chen's hand and said, "Why are you staring? Doesn't it look like you have big eyes? I just didn't leave any money, is it worth making a fuss? Her daughter has had a fever for three days, please come over
The doctor couldn't cure it, so I used the magic skills of the inner teaching to bring down the fever, and by the way, I collected a few pieces of cake and a bowl of soup as the consultation fee. "What's wrong?"
Hong Chen picked up another piece of cake and just smiled: "So you treated her child, why didn't you tell her earlier?"
"Tch, who cares?" Ji Cha picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief, "This cake, this soup, and some bacon will make it even better."
Hong Chen said: "The patrols in Tianwei City are too strict. It would be better for us to go to the next city as soon as possible."
Ji Cha also said: "I originally wanted to take the 'Yin Xue' before leaving, but who knows where that fellow Dai Wanshan hid it. We searched half of the General's Mansion but couldn't find it. Maybe it had been stolen by someone else long ago."
Let's go. Tomorrow we will go to 'Tiannu City', which is not only famous for its twists, but also specializes in steamed buns with thin skin and large fillings. It is said that all kinds of aquatic products are also abundant and cheap. I guarantee that we can eat enough."
At this time, there was a gentle noise in the house. Ji Cha put down the soup bowl with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "This damn hunchback finally woke up? I have to teach him a lesson first, and then ask him about Dai Wanshan and Zhuguang Sect.
matter."
Hong Chen entered the room first and saw that Zhong Tuozi, who had been lying down, had sat up from the bed. He immediately said, "Are you feeling better?"
Zhong Li woke up in a daze. When he heard the words, he glanced sideways and saw Hong Chen and Ji Cha entering the room one after another. His surprise was even greater than when they saw him. They staggered and almost rolled off the bed.
