Tang Ning day and night, after arriving in Fengyang County, Tang Ning faced two choices, take the official road, it takes half a month to travel, and take the waterway, it only takes ten days, Tang Ning did not hesitate to choose the waterway, to the wharf, Tang Ning picked a big boat that looks relatively strong, and the boatman negotiated the price, Tang Ning rented a small boat to set off by water, on the sixth day, it went out of the Tianlong border, merged into a public river, out of the inland river, the boats on the water gradually decreased, eight boatmen alternately rowed, people rested the boat, Carry Downing all the way north.

The night, once again shrouded the entire river, the overturned waves slapped the hull of the boat, making a pleasant sound, like a very nice serenade, Tang Ning sat in the cabin, half-lying in his clothes, his face was pale, under the swaying light, he could vaguely see beads of sweat falling down her forehead drop by drop, and the attacks of Gu poison became more and more frequent, although she sealed her acupuncture points with silver needles, but the feeling of this ten thousand insect cones seemed to suck all the essence in her body dry, Nangong Night, damn Nangong Night, You'd better keep burning incense and praying all the time you live, and don't plant it in the hands of this girl, otherwise, this girl will definitely inject a hundred times more pain than Gu poison into your body!

As a healer, Tang Ning never thought that she was omnipotent, she had no way in the face of Lin's self-abandonment, and now, in the face of Gu poison, she was also helpless, this Gu poison was not a disease at all, nor was it poison, this was a curse, it was witchcraft, and the pain lasted for about a stick of incense, and when the pain gradually subsided, the back of Tang Ning's clothes was already soaked with sweat, and the excessive loss of water made her feel dry, and there was no hot water in the teapot, she got up and wanted to go to the cabin next door but poured a little hot water, As she passed the hallway, she casually glanced up at the four boatmen who were paddling, and after just a glance, she continued towards another room.

There was nothing unusual, pouring water, coming back, Tang Ning didn't even raise his eyes to look at the deck when he passed through the aisle this time and returned to his room, but at the moment when the hatch was closed, her face was extremely solemn, and the four people who were paddling on the deck now were not among the eight boatmen before, although they were in the same attire, deliberately lowering the brim of their hats, but she could still tell at a glance, the previous boatmen they paddled all year round, so the upper limbs of the body were very burly, and the shoulders were broad, and the current four peopleThe shoulders are narrow, the legs are long, and a boatman who has been engaged in manual work for a long time knows how to reduce the swing of his arms by the twisting of his body, while these people only know that it is the strength of the arms, but, judging from their body shape and the strength of their paddles, they must be practitioners, and they are also first-class masters.

Tang Ning didn't want to waste his time speculating about what these people were about, and the top priority now was to think about how he should get out?

The eight boatmen are very likely to have suffered misfortune, and these four people, and even some hidden in the shadows, they did not do it to themselves, but wanted to carry themselves somewhere, even so, Tang Ning was still unwilling, her Tang Ning's life, how could there be a reason to be led by others.

With a bright light in his eyes, Tang Ning re-dressed and lay down......

All around, there was the sound of water waves, there was silence, everyone thought that Tang Ning was asleep, and there was no loophole in the ambush, there could be no doubts, and the people on the boat all confidently thought so, but, on the contrary, this person was Tang Ning!

In the second half of the night, everything around them became more and more silent, the original wide-eyed dormant was also a little sleepy, they were too confident, and Tang Ning was too underestimated, all the tigers, all relaxed their vigilance, at this time, from a faint light from the opposite side, Tang Ning's closed eyes swished open, opened the window, she slid into the water little by little along the hull of the boat with light movements, without the slightest abnormal sound......

When the sun rose, the people on the ship saw that there was still no movement in Tangning's room, in the past, at this time, she had already gone to the deck to put on those strange shapes, today?

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and now, some people couldn't sit still, and two of the boatmen ran quickly to Tang Ning's room, and when they saw that the door was closed, they adjusted their rapid breathing, knocked on the door, and asked softly, "Miss Tang, haven't you gotten up yet?"

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in my room, and now, the faces of the two people immediately sank, and with a "clang", they pushed open the door, and the room was already empty, where was there still the shadow of Tangning?

The two of them realized that something was wrong, and quickly ran out to report to their leader, "A bunch of rice buckets, so many pairs of eyes watching, actually let a big living person slip away from under your noses!" “

When the leader heard this, he was furious, and immediately raised his arm and sent a loud slap to the face of one of them, who felt that they were derelict in their work, and did not dare to resist, but lowered their heads and remained silent, and after a while, he sighed heavily and said: "The next ferry, the boat docks, we miss something, we still have to let the lord know as soon as possible, so that he can make plans again!" ”

The two men nodded immediately, and after the boat docked at the next ferry, these people quickly found a few horses and drove away.

That night, Tang Ning took a boat with a tailwind, until it was far from the ferry port near Yanyang City, where the other party wanted to rest for a few days and purchase some supplies, Tang Ning got off the boat, changed to take the official road, and continued on the road, not daring to have a moment of rest, because in her heart, there was always a very uneasy, very uneasy premonition, and as Yanyang approached, this uneasy feeling became more and more intense

As the saying goes, disasters do not go alone, just when Tang Ning kept praying in his heart that nothing big would happen, Yanyang City, which had just been sacked by war, an even more terrible disaster had quietly befallen them.

It happened in a village called Twelve Wei on the outskirts of Yanyang, maybe there should be this catastrophe, this survived after the slaughter of the city by Gongzi Qi There are two gamblers in the village who are idle and usually survive by stealing chickens and dogs in one night to sneak into the home of a large family in Yanyang City, at this time, Yanyang City is basically an empty city, and all the corpses that can be found in the city have been pulled down by Ximen Yichen to stop people from being pulled down and buried in the suburbs, these two people sneaked into this big family, originally just wanted to make a little windfall, as soon as they entered the courtyard, They smelled a strange smell, but they didn't care, in order to survive, they had dug up other people's ancestral graves before, and besides, people had just died here, so a little strange smell was inevitable.

The two of them searched in the rich man's house in a carpet way, and worked hard for most of the night, the weather was hot, and the two people were busy sweating, and the water evaporated more, so they naturally had a dry mouth, and when the two of them were about to leave with something valuable, one of them couldn't help the dry feeling in his throat, and said to the person in front: "Wait a while, I'll drink saliva!" ”

Without saying a word, the man brought up a bucket of well water, the well water was clear and transparent, the man raised his head and said that the well water had poured into his mouth, and when the well water passed through his throat, he felt a strange smell in the water, "What are you doing so slowly?" Are you alright? ”

There was a muffled urging from his companion in front of him, and the man immediately threw down the bucket and chased after him.

A full moon hung high in the sky, sprinkled in the well with pieces of silver light, and I saw a soaked corpse floating in the rippling water......

The two people found some treasures, went to the casino that night to gamble, only to return home in the early morning of the next day to fall asleep, a sleep until the evening before getting up, he suddenly felt a chill on his body, hurriedly asked his wife to boil some ginger soup to take it, still not relieved, his wife saw that his face was blue, blue and purple, eyes green light, very strange, asked him what was going on, he just shook his head, wrapped in the quilt and continued to lie back.

That night, when his young wife approached him, he found that he was already cold, and he could not survive until dawn, and he died!

The good husband died suddenly, the young wife was grief-stricken, crying to die and live, the neighbors and relatives were all alarmed, all rushed to the funeral, only to see that the man was all blue, everyone did not know what strange disease he had, some people said that it was caught by the little ghost, some people said that he was smoked by the king of Hades, there was no good rhetoric inside and out, the family also felt that the death was ugly, and hurriedly got a shroud to wear him on the body, so they let the nearby craftsmen rush to make a coffin, according to custom, three days after the burial can be buried, The body remained at home for two nights, and at 10 p.m. on the third day, he was carried to the ancestral grave at the head of the village for burial, three kilometers away from the place where Ximen Yichen's army was encamped.

On the way to the funeral, a long slippery person dressed in linen and filial piety, crying constantly, four people carrying the coffin, walking behind the two are the neighbors of the deceased, but also two brothers, when they are about to go to the cemetery, the eldest of them said to the second child in a low voice: ", second, the day before yesterday when I was buried, I saw this person inside......" said and pouted his mouth towards the coffin: "The face is blue, I am scared to death!" ”

The second child sweated profusely on his forehead, obviously looking barely supportive, but he still glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being heard by him and catch your soul!" ”

While talking, the second child stumbled, but stopped, the boss made a grimace, and was about to laugh at this person's timidity, but suddenly froze, looked at him in a daze and said, "Hey, second child, your face is also ...... It's blue! ”
