Chapter 27: The Maiden
Zhou Chen heard correctly, he looked in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves, and it didn't take long to see a carriage come into view. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The driver was a man in his forties and fifties with a beard in a power suit. Looking at the material of his clothes, it is obviously not that kind of low-grade color.
Zhou Chen noticed the two horses pulling the cart again, although he didn't understand horses, he always knew the contrast.
These two horses were much taller than the horses that had been in charge of them.
It's just that both the man in the suit and the two horses are obviously out of shape, looking extremely tired.
Especially the man, Zhou Chen was very sharp-eyed, and he could see that his left wrist seemed to be bandaged with strips of cloth, and it was faintly red, obviously injured not long ago.
And just as Zhou Chen was observing the other party, the man in the power suit had already noticed him.
The man looked at Zhou Chen, his face did not change, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Da, da, da......
The speed of the carriage, which had not been fast, had slowed down even more, and the two horses struggled to pull the cart forward a little bit.
When he was about to pass by Zhou Chen, the man grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage completely.
Then, the man stopped not to talk to Zhou Chen, a stranger, but at a good time. In his next moves, Zhou Chen easily understood this.
I saw him jump out of the car neatly, then went around to the front of the two horses, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two small black pills, and fed them to the two horses respectively.
I don't know what kind of material this pill is made of, but it has a pungent smell that the two horses seem to like very much, and as soon as they get close to them, they take the initiative to put their mouths up and swallow it.
And the next moment, an eye-opening scene happened for Zhou Chen.
The two horses, who were still in a state of mind and exhausted, suddenly changed their appearance after swallowing the pills, and suddenly they were full of energy and kept chirping in a "neighing rhythm".
"What's that? doping?"
Zhou Chen watched with interest, but his face was impassive.
He didn't want to make any misleading moves, the man in the strong suit seemed to be very difficult to mess with, so Zhou Chen kept a low profile, waiting for the other party's carriage to pass, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.
"Master Lu, is it a horse that can't work again?"
Suddenly, from the carriage, an extremely beautiful girl's voice like a yellow warbler came out.
Zhou Chen dared to swear that he had experienced several worlds, and it was the first time he had heard such a beautiful voice except for the life of a perfect and not really human being.
only heard his voice and didn't see him, Zhou Chen dared to conclude that the girl in the carriage must be a peerless beauty.
This judgment is arbitrary, but Zhou Chen's feeling now is like this.
"It's okay miss, there are still a few beast awakening pills, enough to last to the nearest town. ”
The man replied respectfully, and at the same time glared at Zhou Chen with a warning look.
Zhou Chen understood what he meant, shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, still sitting there without moving.
When the man saw this, he did not drag, but jumped into the carriage again, and went on his way.
But then, the change was sudden, and only a few "booms" were heard, and the two horses, which had just recovered their spirits, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. And in their necks, there were several black steel needles the size of arrows.
"Hahahaha, Lu Duanfeng! Hand over the treasure knife and beauty, obediently tie your hands and capture it, the deity will spare you from death!"
At the same time as the two horses fell to the ground, a burst of wild laughter sounded in the sky above, so frightened that Zhou Chen hurriedly looked up, only to see an old man in his sixties and seventies wearing a black cloak, appearing on the high branch of a big tree, looking down at the bottom.
"Black Hand Old Ghost!
Seeing that the sycophant was killed, the man in the strong suit was immediately furious, and in the face of the old man who suddenly appeared, he gritted his teeth, but he was obviously helpless, so he had to scold.
"Hahaha, don't talk nonsense, Tianshi Treasure Knife and Miss Shen Family, the deity is bound to win. ”
There was another burst of laughter, and the cloaked old man suddenly jumped, and he shook his hands in mid-air, and several arrow-like black needles quickly shot at the man in the suit.
Zhou Chen saw it clearly, the black needles were hidden in the sleeve of the old man. At the same time, he also noticed that the old man's hands were wearing black gloves, which is probably why he was called the "old ghost with black hands".
At this time, in the face of the rapid shooting of the black needles, the man in the strong suit did not panic, he wiped his right hand on the belt, and pulled out a soft sword from it with a "groan", and under the continuous swing of "swish", he firmly protected the front of his body, and several black needles were also knocked away by him one by one.
Burst!
Coincidentally, one of the black needles actually flew towards Zhou Chen after being knocked away, but Zhou Chen knew that he couldn't hit himself, so he didn't dodge, and the black needles were finally higher than Zhou Chen and pierced into the trunk behind him.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect there to be a little doll here, but you were affected by this surnamed Lu, don't blame me when you get down!"
The old man landed lightly, walked towards this side step by step, and glanced at Zhou Chen with a look of playfulness.
At this time, Zhou Chen's face also became gloomy, because he saw that behind the old man, four or five black-clothed masked men chased after him, all holding swords and approaching in an encirclement.
"Miss, we're surrounded!"
The man in the suit had an ugly face, as if he knew that he was at the end of his rope, so what he said was just a nonsense, and there was nothing constructive at all.
"Master Lu, you have been loyal and righteous in protecting me so far, now you don't care about me, go first. ”
The girl's voice came out again, and at the same time, a delicate figure also appeared from the carriage and jumped down gently.
I saw that the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose. She was dressed in a lilac dress with a few gold and silver jewelry, looking dignified and fresh. It is worth noting that the girl is still holding a long knife with a sheath in her hand, which should be the so-called treasure knife.
Zhou Chen couldn't help but be attracted by the girl, even if he was not a complete man now and had no such function, but he still irrepressibly had a possessive desire from the bottom of his heart. Seeing such a peerless beauty, presumably any man would be like Zhou Chen.
However, the desire in his heart is desire, Zhou Chen knows the current situation, he is afraid that he will be implicated, the old man on the other side does not know the strength of the strength, and he does not know whether he can get out, where is he still in the mood to think about this.
"I'm a eunuch now!"
Zhou Chen reminded himself, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and refocused all his attention on the present.
"Miss, you don't need to say more, I won't run away alone, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to see the master!"
The man in the power suit known as Master Lu said this, and moved closer to the girl, protecting her behind him. (To be continued.) )
