The Beggar Turns Over Chapter 12 Wandering the World
Although the wrist of Li Mang, who swallowed the elixir, was dripping with blood, it was not difficult to see that the pierced sword wound was slowly recovering, and the muscles were growing and closing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone was stunned, and the wound of the sword was intact, except for the blood on his hands that could prove that he had been injured, there was no other trace.
This is also what makes Harrick feel incredible, this kind of method, he has never heard of, not to mention the ancient Mo kingdom in the remote western regions and the kingdoms and families in between, but also in the far away, the legendary powerful and rich Central Plains, he has never heard of such a miracle.
Harrick didn't move, it didn't mean that Li Mang didn't move, I saw his right hand holding the knife, twisted his wrist a few times, felt that he had regained his agility again and no longer had the pain before, so he put the machete across his chest, and his eyes were burning with fierce fighting intent.
Harrick glanced at Adili, who was kneeling there and wailing to himself, and then looked at the situation in the courtyard, and for a moment he had the idea of retreating, seeing that the city defense army had almost killed the servants in the courtyard and Kessel's brothers, and killing one less Li Mang would not affect the overall situation, and even help his own plan to take the blame, so he turned around and swept out.
This scene surprised Li Mang, and after only a few short fights, he was injured and fled? Where is the demeanor of the strongest master in Su Ke City?
Li Mang wanted to chase, but the screams around him attracted his attention, looking at the corpses of the city lord's servants everywhere, as well as the few brothers of Kessel who had not left, Li Mang had to turn around first to rescue.
I saw that Li Mang took a few steps forward, and the machete in front of his chest swung down fiercely, and Adiri, who was screaming and wailing, instantly lost his voice and fell to the side. After Li Mang swung his sword, he didn't look at the man's corpse again, turned around and rushed towards the city guards behind him who were besieging and killing Kessel's brothers.
Sabir has been paying attention to the battle between the two big masters and Li Mang, but he really didn't expect Li Mang to be so strong, just a few moves, he made Adiri break his arm and seriously injured, and frightened Harik, just as Li Mang solved Adiri, Sabir quietly withdrew from the hospital, I don't know where to flee.
Where did the cavalry of the city defense army know that their commander had fled, and when they saw that Li Mang was killing in one place, many of his comrades died tragically, and suddenly many cavalry gave up their current opponents and surrounded the past, but now Li Mang is not the same as in the past, and its strength is enough to deal with this hundred-person city defense army.
Li Mang rescued Kessel's four remaining brothers from the butcher's knives of the city defense army, and made them hide in the courtyard of Na Aini, while he himself stood outside the courtyard gate, ignoring the increasing number of cavalry surrounding him, only to wave the knife again and again, and in the blink of an eye, his body was full of corpses of the city defense army.
The cavalry of the city defense army saw that this man was really strong, and it seemed that he would never get tired, how many knives had been swords, and the swords were still full strength, and this was by no means a victory by relying on a large number of people.
When a cavalryman who looked like a small leader was about to ask the commander whether to retreat, he found that the commander was no longer in the courtyard, and he didn't know how long he had been fleeing. The other cavalrymen lost their backbones, and for a while people were panicked, and after a while, deserters finally began to appear, and more cavalry fled outside the door.
After Li Mang swung a knife, he once again killed the two people who rushed up, but found that the remaining cavalry had turned around and fled out of the door, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not chase it, but beckoned the four of them to walk cautiously towards the outside of the courtyard.
On the main street, in addition to dozens of war horses and the already cold corpse of the city lord, where was there still half a figure, Li Mang finally let down his guard at this time and took back the machete.
......
Outside Suke City, on the edge of the creek where Li Mang and Kessel met a few days ago, on a wooden bed made of dry wood, Kessel and Qi Man lay quietly on it, Li Mang held a torch in his hand and stared at the blue gray faces of the two, recalling the bits and pieces of the past few days with them.
After the four remaining brothers of Kessel delivered the bodies of the rest to their relatives, they also hurried over, and the men burst into tears.
Li Mang wiped away his tears, sighed, and then slowly lowered the torch, walked slowly around the wooden bed, and ignited all the hay around the wooden bed, and then threw the torch on the two of them.
Seeing that the fire was rumbling and drowning the bodies of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the four brothers of Kessel wept bitterly, only to see them kneeling on the ground at the same time, putting their right hands on their chests, and muttering a eulogy on the grassland with their heads down, hoping that Kessel and his wife could return to the embrace of the gods and enjoy eternal life.
Li Mang was a human being for two lifetimes, the first time he participated in a funeral, the first time he saw the cremation of the grassland, and the first time he lit the holy flame with his own hands.
The fire lasted for more than an hour before it gradually went out, and the four of them waved their hands to disperse the smoke, stepped forward to use wooden sticks to remove the thick wood ashes, and only threw the wooden sticks in their hands after revealing the small number of white human bones that had not been burned out underneath.
Then I saw a person spread out a white leather, carefully picked up a few bones and placed them on it, and picked up a little gray ashes around it and put it on, and after carefully wrapping it, the four of them got up.
The four people came to Li Mang's side and saluted solemnly, and one of them then spoke: "Brother, we are going to leave with our family when we go back, you better leave quickly, the sinister Haric and Sabir are spreading rumors around the city, saying that you killed the city lord's family and dozens of city defense troops, I guess they must have reported to the royal family in this way, it must not be long before there will be a master leading the army to come, if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave at that time."
Li Mang no longer has the previous idea of wanting to settle down at this time, it is his own idea of wanting a comfortable life that has harmed the Kessel family and so many of his brothers, and at this time he suddenly woke up, only regretting that he was not at the beginning.
Without the strength and power to protect one's homeland, it is extremely difficult to survive in this world of the jungle, and having a huge fortune without the strength to match it is the original sin, no matter where you go, it will only bring disaster to yourself and those around you.
It's just that the thought that I have to wander the world again and live that life without a fixed place makes my heart feel uncomfortable. Exhaled lightly, took the initiative to hug the four of them one by one, and patted them on the back, everything was silent.
Then Li Mang took out a package that had already been prepared and handed it to them, and said sadly: "Brothers, I can't say a thousand words, here are some scattered silver taels, and the four brothers will bring them, and it is indispensable to settle down in the future, so don't shirk it, we will have a period later."
The four of them were happy this time, they looked at each other and took it, and the five hugged each other again and cherished each other, and then the four got on their horses and left.
Li Mang stood by the river, looking at his distorted reflection in the river, and sighed a lot for a while. It seems that everything by the river has not changed in just a few days, but it is enough to make Li Mang unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Farewell, Brother Kessel, goodbye Sister-in-law Qiman, farewell, I'm coming to my first home in this world!
......
A sturdy horse, carrying an emaciated figure and a ray of the setting sun on its back, set off towards the east again.
