Ten Mile Village

On snowy nights, the road is slippery, the silence is pitch black, and the sound of falling and screaming in pain can be heard from time to time, accompanied by the 'creaking' sound of the branches of the surrounding trees being crushed by the snow from time to time, which makes people feel more and more frightening.

Just thinking about the old father, wife and children at home, the sturdy man who was rushing all the way to the wind and snow fell and got up, and then fell and got up again, so repeatedly wounded, and finally could vaguely see that the entrance of the village was not far in front, and the heart that was raised high fell to the ground slightly.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was so afraid that those two people would kill his entire family, and that was what really scared him.

Holding back the fear in his heart and picking up the bags of food that had been scattered on the ground due to his fall, he didn't care about his injured and bleeding right hand, the strong man only knew that he had to go home quickly, otherwise the consequences were not something he could afford.

"Dad, why did you come out, it was windy and snowy this night, you have to be careful. "If she is infected with the wind and cold, she and the head of the family will not be able to come up with money to get medicine for her father-in-law!

It's just that as a daughter-in-law, she will never be able to say this latter sentence.

"Kiko hasn't come back yet, where can my father sleep. ”

"But..."

"Xiuniang, don't say anything, the father you think in your heart understands it in your heart, but your mother went early, and your father will have a child, if Xizi has a father with three long and two short... Dad can't live anymore. ”

The village woman who was called Xiu Niang was wearing a shabby blue cotton jacket with patches, but she looked several years older than her actual age at the age of her early thirties, and the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes were quite conspicuous.

"Dad, you can't think so, the head of the house will be fine, he will definitely return safely. ”

"Hey..."Lao Lin Tou looked at his daughter-in-law with a pale face, he was still stubbornly leaning on the crumbling and broken gate, looking in the direction of the village entrance with a pair of cloudy eyes that could not be seen clearly, but he let out a long and heavy sigh.

When he is old, he dies and dies.

But his son, his daughter-in-law are still young, his grandchildren are still young, their lives still have a long way to go, Lao Lin Tou really hopes that the two uncles can let their family go.

If you really want anyone's life, take his life.

"Dad, my daughter-in-law believes that if it is for the sake of her father and children, he will be fine. "If something happens to the family, Xiuniang doesn't plan to live.

Although she is just a small village woman, she is not stupid at all, and the mysterious person in the black robe who was covered in blood in the middle of the night broke into their house, held a bloody knife on her father's neck, threatened them not to reveal his whereabouts, and also helped him hide, and he had to stay in their house to recuperate from his injuries, Xiuniang knew that most of their family had stepped into the ghost gate.

The mysterious man didn't believe them at all, and not only put their two sons under house arrest, but also poisoned their family of five, and if they didn't do the slightest thing he wanted, he could kill them at the touch of a finger.

Just the appearance of that mysterious person in the family made their family dare not take a breath, for fear that one of them would lose their lives if they were not careful, and after another subordinate of the mysterious person came yesterday, they were even more afraid to death.

However, even if it is too difficult to live, they still do not give up hope of life, and they have been working tirelessly.

"As long as we are obedient and do everything that the master has to do properly, we may be able to ask him to be merciful and let us go. "They are just ordinary villagers in Shili Village, and every family here is not wealthy, and they only barely make ends meet by growing crops every year.

Now such a situation is tantamount to a catastrophe from heaven, and I don't know what kind of sin their honest family has created to suffer such punishment.

"I hope that the master is really willing to let us go. ”

Shili Village is only thirty miles away from Xingyu City, which is a small village relatively close to the Imperial City, but this village with nearly 400 households is actually not rich, and there are only six or seven families in the whole village who can live in a blue brick and tile house, and this family surnamed Lin is one of them.

Compared with several other families who live in brick houses, the population of the Lin family is simple and easy to control, one aspect, and the other aspect is also Xiuniang's man, although Lin Xizi is a farmer, his brain is quite flexible, and he will go to Xingwu City from time to time to do some small business, not that he can't support the wall at all.

"Master, you're awake. ”

"Hmm. ”

"And master, how are your injuries?"

When the man lying on the bed covered with a quilt sat up and showed his face, an acquaintance would be surprised if he met him.

This mysterious black-robed man who hid in the small village to heal his wounds was the old man who escaped from his serious injuries in Panlong Lake.

"Trauma looks terrible, but as long as the medicine is in place, these injuries are not to be feared. ”

"Then there is no way to heal the master's internal wounds?"

"The internal injuries suffered by this sect master this time are more serious than any previous ones, if it weren't for the fact that this sect master made so many preparations in advance, and habitually left two retreats for himself, otherwise he would really die this time. ”

Obviously, the King of Medicine had been defeated to him, his internal strength was completely lost and he was seriously injured, and it could almost be said that his life was hanging by a thread.

After making many arrangements, not only did he fail to kill the Medicine King, but he also put himself in a desperate situation, not to mention the people of the Poison Sect who were dispatched to Panlong Lake, not to mention the destruction of the entire army, but also the loss of seven elders, and even he fled with himself in embarrassment under serious injuries.

Just thinking of the various scenes and embarrassment when he escaped, the old man couldn't control the raging anger in his chest, causing his qi and blood to surge, his eyes turned black, and he was about to fall down as soon as he was dizzy.

"If the master wants to open some, anger is not good for the master's health. ”

"Well, this sect master knows it in his heart. ”

"It's good that the master understands, although we lose this time, we will definitely find the field back in the next encounter. ”

"Hehe... You're thinking very openly. "The existence of the yellow shirt doesn't even know the real high-level of the Poison Sect, he is the shadow of the old man with the bones, and he can be said to be inseparable from the old man with the bones.

Because the yellow shirt is the shadow of the old man, except for special circumstances and the situation where the old man directly gives orders, no matter what happens, the yellow shirt will not appear.

Rao is the old man was on the verge of death this time, he didn't let the yellow shirt show up until the last step, and he was in danger several times during the escape, and the old man didn't send a distress signal to the yellow shirt, which shows how deeply he hid the shadow killer of the yellow shirt.

"In terms of using poison, that old guy in Yaodan is not as good as this sect master, but when it comes to medical skills, this sect master is not as good as Yaodan. ”

Huang Xian's brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Master, there was no one who was more skilled than the Medicine King in the past, and now there is no ruthless son." ”

"You want to..."

"The pharmacy is open for business, as long as you abide by the rules of the pharmacy, no matter what your identity is, you can buy satisfactory things in the pharmacy, and the subordinates mean that we might as well go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for internal injuries. ”

"Pharmacy?"

"Although there are some grievances between the master and the ruthless son, the identity of the subordinate is kept secret, except for showing his true face in front of the master, no one has ever seen the face of the subordinate, if the subordinate comes forward, it should not attract much attention. ”

"You're right. After a pause, the old man seemed to think of something inappropriate, and said with a little hesitation: "That ruthless son has a moody temperament, not to mention, and his actions are not according to common sense, and I don't know if he has anything to do with the Medicine King Valley, if it is not okay, it doesn't matter if you go to buy medicine or not, but if they have something between each other, you may not be exposed to the risk of going to the pharmacy." ”

This time, the old man's plan to kill the medicine king, although it was true that it hit the medicine king hard, he didn't get any benefit himself, and even almost took his life.

It can be said that he is completely stealing chickens and eating a handful of rice, and he is so angry that he thinks about it.

After more than a day of recuperation, the old man recovered well from the external injuries on his body, but the internal injuries did not improve at all, especially what annoyed the old man the most was the poison he inhaled in his body.

Yao Dan's predecessor was highly poisoned at the moment of the last blow with him, and then he lost his combat effectiveness and became an existence that could be crushed by him. However, Yao Dan was wary of him, but he never poisoned him from beginning to end, how could the old man of Mei Gu think that the four elders of the Medicine King Valley who came to the rescue of Yao Dan would join forces to take advantage of his unpreparedness and poison him in a similar way to him.

Although he practiced poison skills, even his whole person and the blood flowing in his body were highly poisonous, but after being poisoned, the old man was so uncomfortable that he couldn't dissolve the poison in his body at all.

In order to escape and survive, the old man suppressed the poison in his body with extremely tough means, he never thought that the poison was so obedient and domineering, at first he really thought that the poison was suppressed by him, just wait for a time to solve the poison.

Who would have thought that he had indeed suppressed the poison at that time, but the deeper the poison took root in his body, it would be more difficult to remove it.

Even though he was the ancestor of poisoning, encountering such a difficult poison also made the old man very frustrated, and the whole person became irritable.

"No matter what the master decides, his subordinates will obey the master's arrangement. Huang Yi also knew a thing or two about the worries in the heart of the old man, although he was the shadow of the old man, he was just a minion, and he couldn't influence the master's decision.

"Well, you should be cautious and go to the pharmacy. ”

"Yes, master. ”

"In addition, vaguely inquire about the detoxification pills, antidote pills and the like sold in the pharmacy, if this sect master wants to heal, not only must heal the internal injuries, but also have to remove the poison in the body, so that the two-pronged approach can be effective, otherwise it will take at least half a year to recuperate before it is possible to heal. Frowning, the old man said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "There is not much time left for this sect master, this sect master must not waste time on recuperating from injuries, do you understand?"

Even if the yellow shirt is his shadow, life and death are in his hands, but the old man can't trust him completely, and his defense against the yellow shirt is almost subconscious, and what he says to the yellow shirt is often seven points true and three points false.

It's just that the old man is very good at understanding people's hearts, and he is good at disguise, Rao is yellow shirt has been inseparable from him for so many years, and he has never seen through the old man.

"Master, rest assured, even if your subordinates die, they will never be exposed. "Once his identity is revealed, he will not survive without the old man opening his mouth.

This was the first day he was elected as the shadow of the old man, and he knew that he could not get rid of his irreversible fate.

"You are the most trusted and valued person of this sect master, even those disciples of this sect master are not as good as you, yellow shirt, you must keep in mind that it is okay to buy medicine, you must ensure your own safety, otherwise this sect master will lose your right-hand man, and who else can serve this sect master in the future." ”

"Before the master wants his subordinates to die, his subordinates will definitely not die. ”

"Good. The old man got up and patted the yellow shirt's shoulder, and an inscrutable sneer appeared on the old face, "This sect master failed to win over the ruthless son, he has a disgust for the Poison Sect, and the Medicine King Valley has also been in contact with the ruthless son, but this sect master doesn't know if there has been any agreement between them, you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, remember to buy some of the various varieties of medicines, more can attract their attention to the poison, so that you can cover up your true purpose, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion." ”

"Yes, master. "Huang Shirt can stand out among so many shadows, and gradually grow into the shadow of a charming old man, which shows that he is not only strong in force, but also brave, resourceful and smart.

Some of the words that the old man didn't say, he vaguely knew about it, but since the master didn't mention it, wouldn't he be slapping the old man in the face if he took the initiative to mention it?

"That old guy from Yao Dan would definitely think that this sect master would rush back to the Poison Sect non-stop after being seriously injured, and he never imagined that this sect master would deign to hide in a small mountain village. ”

"The master's judgment is not wrong, at present, only a small number of the people sent by the Medicine King Valley to track down the master are patrolling around Panlong Lake, and most of the rest are searching all the way from several directions to approach the Poison Sect. ”

"The most dangerous place is often the safest place, but staying here is not a long time, you must go to the pharmacy and return quickly. ”

"Yes, master. ”

"Besides, is this farmer still obedient?" If he hadn't killed this family of five directly, he shouldn't have too many of his own people around him, lest the target be too big and expose himself, he would have killed this family a long time ago.

In his eyes, the living have the opportunity to betray him, but the dead do not reveal any secrets about him.

"Rest assured, masters, they are very obedient and know how to read people's eyes. "The people who follow the old man will not have any mercy, and even if they do, they will gradually become numb in the daily killing.

"Has there been anything unusual in the village these two days?"

"No, although this farmer has a small population in Shili Village, they have a very good reputation, especially the old Lin Tou is very good at being a man and is also a shrewd person, he understands the meaning of the master, and he does not let the villagers in the village notice that the Lin family is living in. ”

Since the yellow shirt appeared in the Lin family, he hid in the shadows, quietly observing everyone in the Lin family, even those two children, he did not let go.

"They are all honest farmers, and the two children are under the personal care of their subordinates, unless they can't wait to die, there will be no danger for the master to stay here for a short time. ”

"Well, that old man himself is about to die, and he is the most precious of his two grandsons, let's take care of their weaknesses and not be afraid of them being disobedient. ”

"The master doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters, once they have different intentions, the subordinates will directly solve them. ”

"You go and prepare, and after dawn you leave the village and enter the city, and at night you must get a new identity to come out, and you will use your true face to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and remember not to be disguised so as not to be self-defeating and attract the attention of those people to you. ”

"My subordinates saved. ”

"After saying this for a while, this sect master is really a little tired, and his stomach is also hungry, you go and see what food is sent to this sect master. ”

"Yes. ”

Huang Yi retreated outside the room, closed the door gently, and then turned around and walked towards the Lin family's kitchen.

Before he reached the kitchen door, Huang Yi heard the woman's suppressed sob, and the man's helpless and painful comfort, his dark eyes flashed, and his thin lips pursed without making a sound.

"Dad, Xiuniang, don't worry, I don't have skin injuries, I can raise it for a few days, just go back to the room later and rub some medicine, I have bought all the food, Xiuniang hurry up and make the food ready, if the master is hungry, we are afraid that we will suffer some torture again." ”

"Woo... Everyone knows that the snowy mountain road is very slippery, not to mention that it is a dark night, and I don't know how many falls the owner has to fall to become like this, others are not distressed, but I feel distressed!"

It's just that no matter how distressed she is, what's the use, doesn't she have to obediently listen to her head cook for that master?

"Xiuniang, you cook alone, Dad helped Xizi to the room to give him some medicine, we are all croppers, if there is something wrong with this leg, that master is willing to let us live, we will starve to death sooner or later." Old Lin Tou sighed, in less than two days, he seemed to be more than ten years old, and the whole person looked tired and haggard.

"Xiuniang, don't cry, even if it is death, our family will die together, don't be afraid!"

"Hmm..."With a heavy nasal voice, Xiuniang looked at Lin Xizi and nodded, holding back the fear in her heart, and a shallow smile appeared on her simple and unpretentious face, "Boss, don't worry about cooking, let Dad help you go to the room to take medicine first." ”

"Xiuniang, be careful. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Xizi wanted to stay and help Xiuniang burn the fire or something, but he fell down many times on the way back with food, and there was blood on his hands, legs, and even his face, especially because he had a long cut on his leg, if he didn't treat the wound in time to stop the bleeding, just bleeding could make him bleed.

When the father and son helped each other to leave, Xiuniang pulled her cuffs and wiped the tears on her face, then took a deep breath to calm down her good mood, and secretly cheered herself up in her heart.

Xiuniang, hold on, God must have long eyes, and you must not be defeated.

With an idea in her heart, Xiuniang was not so flustered, she took her husband back a few bags and opened them one by one, first took out the rice, washed and boiled it, and then picked fish and meat and some fresh vegetables and put them on the board, thinking that these meat and vegetables could make a few dishes.

Don't look at the old man who fled to Shili Village to avoid being chased and killed like a lost dog, even if he hides in a farmer's house, he has high requirements for food, so it is impossible for him to eat vegetables and radishes all at once.

The Zhuang family is already poor, and the food and clothing can not be compared with the big family, and being able to eat and dress is simply the biggest and best wish of the Zhuang family in their life, where do they dare to expect so much.

The place where the Lin family lives is not bad in Shili Village, but it is only a little better than the other villagers in the village, and it can't meet the strict requirements of the old man for eating and dressing.

Fortunately, the old man himself has silver taels, and he also knows that if he wants to eat well in the mountain village, he can only pick his own pocket, so he did not embarrass the old Lin family in this matter.

"Eat and take it directly to the hall, and then your family can rest, if there is anything else to do, I will tell you otherwise. The low voice of the yellow shirt sounded outside the kitchen, so frightened that Xiuniang dropped the bowl in her hand to the ground with a 'bang' sound.

After being stunned for a long time, Xiuniang found her voice in shock and fear, and said timidly: "Yes... Yes, yes. ”

"Move fast, don't make us wait too long. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

As the words of the yellow shirt fell, others also disappeared, but the showgirl in the kitchen still stiffened and did not dare to move, until she did not hear the voice of the yellow shirt for a long time before she had the courage to pick up the kitchen knife and kill the fish and stew it again.

"Ask the Bodhisattva to bless, ask the Bodhisattva to bless. Xiuniang's muttering dissipated silently in the cold wind, and no one heard it except herself.

……

"Who?"

"Mi, it's me. ”

"Hee-ran, how did you ......?"

"It's too cold outside, Ah Mi let her husband into the room first. ”

Concubine Mi blinked, her pink lips pursed lightly, and she said angrily: "I don't believe that you will be afraid of the cold." ”

Saying this, Concubine Mi didn't stop Mo Yan from entering the room at all, and by the way, she also reached out and gently brushed off the snow on his head and cloak, "Why did you come back at this time, but what's the matter?"

"If you don't have something important, you can't come to see Ah Mi for your husband, and you can't come back overnight because your husband wants Ah Mi. Mo Yan reached out and hugged Concubine Mi into his arms, resting his chin lightly on Concubine Mi's shoulder, and deeply sniffed the faint fragrance on her body.

"Don't make a fuss, let's get down to business, okay?"

"What the husband is saying now is to get down to business, Ah Mi, let the husband hug him for a while. ”
