Above the sky, the night was dark, and there were no stars or moons.

Shen Muzhi ran through the dark and narrow alleys, only to feel that his eyes were getting more and more blurry, and his legs and feet were getting heavier and heavier. In the end, he couldn't see it in front of him, he could only touch the wall, with an obsession, moving his steps forward, and he didn't know how long he walked, and finally he couldn't stop the invasion of the toxin, and fell down the alley with a bang, unconscious.

Not long after he fell, a small car creaked over the bluestone slab and slowly walked towards him. The one pulling the cart was the aunt who had just come back from the stall.

Usually she has to set up a stall until late at night, but today business is good, and the prepared wontons are sold out early, so she comes back early.

She was in a good mood, and she was struggling to pull the cart while humming a song.

Suddenly, she saw the figure lying in the corner.

The aunt was a little scared, there were many people in this city, and there were dead people in the alleys west of the city, which was a common thing.

After hesitating for a moment, the aunt planned to turn a blind eye and continue to move forward.

But when she passed by, she couldn't help but take a look.

This glance made her stop.

The man seemed to be alive.

The aunt couldn't resist her heart, carried the oil lamp hanging on the handlebar, and approached it, and couldn't help but be surprised when she looked closely: "Isn't this the kid in the evening?"

Then, she saw the arrow stuck in Shen Muzhi's back!

The aunt hesitated.

She was afraid of getting into trouble, but the person in front of her was a child, and if she left like this, she couldn't bear it. She also remembered that the bowl of wontons in the evening, she wanted to find money, but the child ran away in a daze. Although he didn't mean not to look for money, the money is now lying in his pocket.

After such hesitation, the aunt finally couldn't resist her conscience, reached out and hugged Shen Muzhi and put him on the cart.

The crunching sound sounded again, and with that faint light, it faded into the depths of the alley.

Not long after the aunt left, a black-clothed figure jumped down from the high wall next to her, and gently landed near the place where Shen Muzhi fell before, and after searching around, she finally stopped at the place where Shen Muzhi fell last, reached out and wiped a handful of inconspicuous blood stains on the ground, and sniffed it on the tip of her nose.

In his blood, there was the familiar smell of poison.

It stands to reason that if he was poisoned by them, that kid shouldn't be able to last so long, but what about this person?

The man in black searched carefully around here, but he didn't find any clues about Shen Muzhi. In desperation, he had to go back to Yang Tianbao to report the situation first.

Auntie's house is in a small courtyard in the deepest part of this alley.

Although the courtyard is not big and simple, everything is well organized. There is a small vegetable garden in the yard and two hens.

In the early morning, the aunt did not pull the cart out of the stall as usual, but carried a small cloth bag and hurriedly walked out of the yard to a pharmacy she was familiar with.

The owner of the pharmacy was an old man in his fifties and sixties, who lost his wife at an early age, and he was alone with a daughter, and the daughter had already said that she would be sent out in a few days.

The pharmacy had just opened at this time, and the old man who had been searching all his life was cleaning the store with a broom, and when he saw the aunt hurriedly entering the door, he immediately threw the broom, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Why are you here at this time?"

The aunt didn't answer, reached out and grabbed his arm, and walked back.

The old man laughed, his eyes constantly glancing at his aunt's chest.

As soon as he got to the back, the old man stretched out his hand and wanted to hug the aunt, but was pushed away by the aunt.

"What are you doing!" the old man displeased.

The aunt had a calm face and said, "I have serious business." ”

"What's serious?" the old man still looked bad, but he didn't continue to be careless.

The aunt took out the small cloth bag from her chest, and when she opened it, there was only a palm-sized white cloth inside, and there were some black and brown things on the white cloth.

The aunt handed the white cloth to the old man and said, "You sniff it, look at what this thing is?"

After the old man looked at the aunt suspiciously, he took the white cloth silently, put it under his nose and sniffed it twice, then suddenly changed his expression, and asked the aunt sharply: "Where did you get this thing?"

"Don't care where I came from, just tell me what this is?" said the aunt anxiously.

"What else could it be, poison! Or poison mixed with blood!" The old man said, his eyes fixed on his aunt, and asked, "Honestly, where did this thing come from? This poison is not an ordinary poison, and ordinary people can't get it!"

The eldest aunt snatched the white cloth, rolled her eyes, snorted, and said, "Ask you something, why do you talk so much, do you like to say it or not, don't say that I will find someone else!"

The old man gritted his teeth and grabbed her.

After sighing, the old man said, "I'm a grandmother, I'm asking so much, it's not that I'm afraid that you will get into trouble! I don't care about you! Why are you angry? I said no!"

Auntie didn't leave.

After the old man reported the name of the poison, the aunt asked him again if there was a medicine doctor. The old man shook his head and said, "People who have been poisoned by this poison will basically burp in a stick of incense!

The aunt's heart sank at first, but after hearing the three words of incense, there was suddenly more hope in her heart.

The one in the family, but after a night, is still alive. This shows that there is still hope that this poison can be cured.

The aunt tried her best again, and finally took two pairs of antidote medicine from the old man, left the pharmacy in a hurry, and went home.

Probably Shen Muzhi's life should not be extinguished, this old man was just perfunctory to the aunt, and gave two pieces of heat-clearing and detoxification medicine at random, but he never thought that after the aunt boiled the medicine and fed it to Shen Muzhi, it didn't take long for him to vomit out a large ball of black blood, and then his expression was much better. When the night came, he woke up.

The unfamiliar environment made Shen Muzhi, who had just woken up, a little confused.

The aunt who heard the movement and came into the house saw Shen Muzhi who had already sat up from the bed, and couldn't help but look surprised, and said with a smile: "You finally woke up." You wait, I'll stew porridge for you, and I'll take it!"

Shen Muzhi was stunned for a while, and suddenly knew who the aunt who looked strange but had a somewhat familiar voice just now was.

The aunt soon came over with porridge, and after Shen Muzhi took it, he said thank you.

The aunt replied with a smile: "Actually, I didn't do anything, the main thing is that you survived your own life." ”

Shen Muzhi lowered his head and drank porridge while wondering whether this aunt recognized him.

At this time, the aunt said again: "In the past few days, you will live in my house, take care of your injuries, and don't have to leave in a hurry." ”

Shen Muzhi snorted.

The aunt stood next to her for a while, probably not knowing what to say, so she turned around and went out.

Shen Muzhi drank two mouthfuls of porridge and put it down. He looked at the room, and the simple furnishings told Shen Muzhi that this was not a rich family.

And that aunt, whether she recognized him or not, was a good person.

He can't get a good guy in the picture.

That Yang Tianbao's person must be looking for him all over the city now. If he stays here, sooner or later they will find it.

So, he had to get out of here as soon as possible.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Yang Tianbao's people came faster.

Before Shen Muzhi could leave from his aunt, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

The aunt motioned for Shen Muzhi to stay in the inner room, and she walked towards the gate of the courtyard. As he walked, he asked, "Who?"

"It's me!" came the voice of an old man outside the courtyard.

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then frowned, walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and before she saw the figure outside the door, she had already complained: "What are you doing so late?" As soon as these words came out, she looked up and saw the figure outside the house.

In addition to the very familiar old man in the front, there were two men in black standing behind him.

The aunt couldn't help but be shocked, and was just about to speak, but one of the men in black pushed the old man away, flashed forward, the knife light flashed, the aunt raised her hand to cover her neck, and looked at the man in black in front of her with a frightened face, and blood quickly splattered out from her fingers. Her gaze slowly moved from the man in black to the old man next to her, and she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to scold, you conscienceless!

But his mouth opened and opened, and he could not say anything except the faint sound of ho-ho.

Soon, the last bit of light in the aunt's eyes disappeared, her hands hung down weakly, and the whole person fell backwards, falling into a pool of her own blood with a thud.

The old man next to him had already weakened his legs.

And the two men in black had already entered the courtyard, holding a knife in one hand, and quietly touched the house.

In the back room, Shen Muzhi watched this scene from the window.

The man in black shot too fast, and when he realized that something was wrong, it was too late to save his aunt.

Seeing the eldest aunt finally fall weakly in a pool of blood, Shen Muzhi only felt that the blood all over his body was surging up his head, and the aura in his body was like a mad little beast, roaring and galloping in his body.

He found the jade cube in his package next to the bed, reached out and took it, and pressed it lightly on one side, a faint light flashed, and the jade cube turned into a jade short sword.

The violent aura flowed into Shen Muzhi's hand and injected into the jade short sword, and there was a muffled buzz, and above the short sword, a red light suddenly bloomed, like a magic illusion.
