Chapter 18: The Old Man surnamed Gu
My heart shook beyond measure.
The moment I saw him, he flashed to the so-called Yan Ye who was standing next to the square table.
The old woman immediately retreated, and at the same time, I was pulled from under the square table by him.
At this point, the so-called Yan Ye was still standing, and the armored corpse that should have been invulnerable still maintained the movement of kneeling on the ground and holding a dagger, but their necks had been neatly cut by sharp blades, but their heads had not had time to fall from their necks.
There are countless silver needles, chasing after the old woman.
As soon as he pulled me out from under the square table, he immediately carried me out of the stone chamber.
Beneath the flat ground outside the stone roof, dense crowds of large centipedes flocked to the edge of the flat ground and stirred wildly, but none dared to climb onto the flat ground.
On the flat ground outside the stone room, someone drew a circle with blood stains, coiled the head of the circle with hemp rope, and pressed the blood circle around the blood circle with the rune paper soaked in blood and dried.
He took me out of the stone chamber and headed straight for the blood circle.
The moment we entered the circle of blood, the old woman had chased her out of the stone chamber.
The entire blood circle suddenly rolled up with a gust of wind knives, accompanied by a long humming sound, and the surroundings instantly changed places, reaching the halfway point of the unknown mountain.
His back slammed into the hard wall of the rubble, and sharp rock pierced his right shoulder.
Halfway up the mountain, where we appeared, it was also within the blood circle.
The condition of the blood circle is very similar to that of the blood circle on the flat ground outside the stone room.
He let go of me with a muffled grunt, then gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
The sharp rock was pulled out of his right shoulder, and he stooped down to pick me up with his left arm, and despite the blood pouring from his right shoulder, he led me all the way out of the place and straight down the mountain.
There was a rushing river not far from the foot of the mountain, and he took me down the mountain and then jumped into the river.
We were carried downstream by the rushing river.
During this time, his face became paler and paler, but he continued to lift me out of the water as much as he could, trying to prevent me from drowning.
When we were swept into the sea by the river, we finally encountered someone holding a boat.
The bow and tail of the ship are both pointed and high, the hull is flat and broad, and the shape is like an egg, which is a family boat for the Tan family.
"The girl is not afraid, she is her own person. "He took me to the boat, and the words of relief alone almost brought tears to my eyes.
For as long as I can remember, no one has ever cared if I was scared or not.
As we swam to the side of the boat, he pushed me onto the boat first, and then climbed onto the boat himself.
The boatman was silent and changed our course, and the first thing he did when he got on board was to examine the wound on the top of my head, then raise his left hand and place his palm over the wound on the top of my head.
An indescribable warmth spread throughout my limbs, and the wound on the top of my head was itching and healing.
When there was no more itching in the wound on the top of my head, he withdrew his left hand and laboriously took off his shirt, took out a porcelain bottle, and asked me to help sprinkle the powder on his right shoulder.
The penetrating wound on his right shoulder had been soaked white.
He was also injured in the back, and the combination of deep and shallow wounds was quite shocking.
I carefully sprinkled his wounds with medicinal powder, and although he continued to say nothing, his body trembled slightly in a cold sweat.
"If it hurts, there's no shame in calling it out. "Seeing his condition, my eyes are sour.
"It's a small shame, but it's more than just painful to scream. He chuckled softly, took the vase I had handed him back, and sat me down across from him.
After I did what I said, he smiled kindly and asked me if I had a lot of questions about his presence.
I nodded heavily, and he told me that in fact, he was the real old man surnamed Gu.
He had learned that the Tan family was going to hold a burning in advance, so he just went to see the excitement, but he accidentally learned that I was not only sold by my mother, but also married to the god of the sea as a living sacrifice.
He wasn't in the habit of meddling, but I made him feel compassion.
This is about fate.
So, he saved me after I was sunk into the sea.
I did experience a vision during my drowning coma.
Everything in the illusion is an illusion.
He was very pleased with my vision and how I behaved when I woke up.
I'm not in vain for him to save me.
When I was about to wake up from the illusion, he needed to leave immediately because of an urgent matter, so he replaced him with a paper figure to stay with me and take care of me and protect me.
The robes and horse coats that accompanied me before, the old man surnamed Gu was a paper man.
I may find it difficult to accept that paper figures can walk and speak, and they are not recognized in the eyes of others, but the world is full of wonders.
When he was finally done with his business and was ready to see me in person, I had been taken captive by the old woman.
Luckily, I hadn't been skinned when he found the cave.
He was injured while fighting the old woman, which caused me to be taken away by the old woman again.
Thankfully, he did find me again, and the situation was not yet salvageable.
He was able to save me by using the paper figures to set up a shifting array on the flat ground outside the stone room.
It was not in his plan that the paper man would enter the stone chamber again after the formation, it should be that the paper man was born to protect me, and there was an unplanned situation to protect me.
The old woman's skills are unpredictable.
He was able to get me out this time, thanks to the old woman letting her guard down on her own turf, so conceited that she didn't even care about the paper man's mistake.
If I continued to stay on the shore, I would be easily tracked down by the old woman, and I would stay with him on the boat and stay at the Tan family.
The Tan family is scattered and living in groups, and the Tan family we are going to is not the Tan family that sacrificed me to the sea god before, and no one knows my past.
So, I can live with peace of mind.
The so-called I must continue to stay in the shop or I won't survive, for now, it should be just a one-sided statement of a warlock.
After all, I've been forced to leave the shop for days, and my life is still alive.
In any case, in the future, with him personally by my side, he will come to cover the water and protect me from safety.
