As soon as the medicine entered his throat, Ah Lang's eyes widened suddenly, and his body struggled more and more intensely.

Fang Zhou had to lean over and increase his strength, holding him down.

"Y-you're all going to die in this place!" Ah Lang turned his head and smiled viciously at Fang Zhou, "Hahaha-look, as long as you go back, none of you can escape-"

Fang Zhou stared at Ah Lang's eyes with a calm face, and said calmly: "I won't let you die, and naturally I won't let myself die here." ”

Xiaoshu was so frightened by Ah Lang's terrifying argument that he trembled, he gritted his teeth and shivered, and saw Ah Lang laugh sarcastically, then closed his eyes, and immediately lost consciousness and fainted.

"Woo-hoo-"

The attendant in charge of the carriage finally succeeded in restraining the mad horses, and the carriage shook violently twice, and finally stopped.

Fang Zhou confirmed that Ah Lang had fallen into a complete stupor, and let go of his hands and knees and stood up.

Ah Lang just lay there motionless. The two scholars hurriedly stepped forward to check if he had been injured elsewhere.

"Chief, there's an inn ahead!" The attendant of the car said outside the carriage, "Seeing that it is getting late, and the neighborhood is deserted, if we turn around and continue on our way, I am afraid we will not be able to find any other inn." Would you like to spend the night here? ”

When the ark heard this, he opened the curtain and looked forward, only to see a seemingly ordinary inn standing on the white snowfield.

The inn is not very big from a distance, and the appearance is very ordinary, if you want to say what the characteristics are, there is only the door plaque hanging high above the main entrance, and the dragon and phoenix dance on it are written in the blood-red characters of the Santuchuan Inn.

On both sides of the door plaque hung two delicate gauze lanterns, and the big characters revealed some strange blood under the orange light.

The Ark vaguely felt that there was something unusual about this inn, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Ark, Ark, Alang is awake." Xiao Yan shouted in surprise from behind.

Fang Zhou hurriedly turned around and saw Ah Lang leaning on Xiaoshu's body, his face was pale and weak, and his amber phoenix eyes were calm and gentle, smiling slightly at him.

"I'm tossing you again." Ah Lang said softly with a little apology, "Fang Zhou, next time I get sick again, let's just knock me unconscious." ”

"What nonsense, we have medicine, you just take it." Fang Zhou calmly rejected Ah Lang's suggestion, and saw Ah Lang raise his hand to cover his mouth and cough lightly a few times, groaned slightly, and then probed to the entourage outside and said, "Let's go to the inn and rest for the night, and send a signal to Dongqiao and them to come over as much as possible." ”

"Yes." The attendant replied loudly, then felt the flare in his arms and launched it into the sky with a whizz.

"There's an inn up ahead." Fang Zhou went up and helped Ah Lang back to the soft couch, and said in a low voice, "You are weak now, so you should rest more." ”

"Ahem—thank you, Ark." Ah Lang coughed a few more times, then lay down and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Tsing Yi was very distressed, for no other reason, it was the lively fish on the board.

It stands to reason that Master Gao's knife, not to mention being able to sharpen iron like clay, chop a pig barrel bone, and cut a fish belly is more than enough, who knows that this is like a lion's head with small horns, and the big fish has a copper skin and iron bones, no matter how to cut and cut, it is unscathed.

Tsing Yi originally had two points of strength, just like dealing with ordinary fish, she first knocked the head of the fish with the back of the knife, trying to knock it out and then deal with it, who knew that the knife went down, the fish opened its mouth and shook its tail painlessly, but shook her hand so much that she almost couldn't hold the knife steadily.

Master Gao shook his head while watching, and finally couldn't bear to reach out and take the knife in Tsing Yi's hand and said: "I'll come, I'll come, it's just a fish, look at you with a knife like tickling, when will this fish have to be killed." Look at Lao Tzu, chop it with a knife. ”

With that, he held down the body of the fish with one hand, and raised the knife with the other hand to quickly slash down the head of the fish.

Tsing Yi subconsciously took a step back and tilted his head over.

I always feel that killing a fish with a posture like Master Gao's is ...... There's no doubt it's going to be cut in half, right?

Then after a dull bang, Tsing Yi heard Master Gao say in surprise: "Why is this fish so hard?" I'll try again. ”

After all, it was a series of muffled sounds.

Tsing Yi couldn't help but be curious, so he opened his eyes and looked at Master Gao.

I saw Master Gao gritting his teeth, pressing the body of the fish with his left hand, and waving the knife up and down with his right hand.

As he continued to move, his face was shaking with him, looking like he was stumbling to the end.

"Gao—Master Gao—can stop." Tsing Yi was really a little crying and laughing, so he persuaded on the side, "If you cut it again, the fish will be minced meat." ”

Master Gao stopped when he heard the sound, and then stretched his face and let go of his left hand to reveal the fish.

Tsing Yi came up to take a look, and was immediately startled, the fish was still fine, and the scales did not fall off.

"What's the matter with this fish? Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in evil anymore! When Master Gao saw that the fish was still alive and well, his tail was intact, and he immediately blushed with anger and his neck was thick.

He has been a master for hundreds of years, and he can't even pack a fish at this time, which is obviously a satire of his hundreds of years of knife work! So he threw away the knife in his hand, rolled up the sleeves of his two arms at once, replaced it with a heavy bone chopping knife, and shouted with horizontal eyebrows: "Tsing Yi get out of the way, let Lao Tzu chop it with a knife!" ”

Tsing Yi hurriedly took a few steps back, and then watched Master Gao raise the bone chopping knife high, and then chop it down with all his strength.

The moment the firelight burst out, only a series of knocks were heard, and Tsing Yi, who was standing on the side, felt a cool breeze blowing from the front and back, as if something was passing quickly, and finally the thing fell into the pile of pots and pans in the corner of the kitchen, making the kitchen clanging for a while.

Standing there, Master Gao's face was already dark, he walked briskly towards the pile of pots and pans with a bone chopping knife, and then just bent down and stretched out his hand, and then got up again and carried a big red fish in his hand.

Tsing Yi looked at the big fish and covered his mouth and snorted, then turned his head to look at the board, which was really empty, except for a pile of dented wood chips and a board that was split in half, there was nothing else.

"It seems that this fish is naturally strong and invulner......able" Tsing Yi saw that the fish was resisting Master Gao's sharp knife, so he had the heart to let it live, so he persuaded Master Gao, "I don't know when it will be served again, why don't we try another fish?" ”

"Don't change!" Master Gao's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Tsing Yi, you go out and talk to Hei Saburo, let him wait a little, I am bound to take care of it." ”

"Kurosaburo didn't point to eating it." Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Master Gao, you can rest for a while." ”

"If Hei Saburo doesn't eat it, then I'll eat it!" Master Gao was obviously on a par with this fish, and when he heard that Hei Saburo didn't order it to cook, he stalked his neck and cut the railroad categorically, "Tsing Yi, go out, lest I kill the fish for a while and accidentally hurt you!" ”

Tsing Yi couldn't do it anymore, so he just glanced at the big fish who didn't know that the disaster was coming, and walked out of the kitchen with a sigh.

The moment the kitchen door closed, Tsing Yi seemed to hear the howling of wild beasts coming from inside.

"You've been tossing for so long, why haven't you brought anything out?" Hei Saburo saw Tsing Yi walking out empty-handed, so he knocked on the table dissatisfiedly and said, "It seems that Master Gao has been nesting in the kitchen for hundreds of years, and his skills are also rusty, but a fish has not been done for half a day." ”

Tsing Yi only felt that this sounded a little strange, and when he was about to ask, Hei Saburo had long since disappeared.

"Tsing Yi, check out."

At this time, there happened to be a guest who wanted to settle the bill, so Tsing Yi had to press the question back to the bottom of his heart, stand at the counter and start the checkout.

The carriage slowly walked to the front of the inn, and the attendant tightened the reins, and with a sigh, the carriage came to a steady stop.

Seeing that the carriage had stopped, Fang Zhou leaned over and carried Ah Lang out of the carriage.

One of the people with the little book and the little inkstone tacitly took the medicine box luggage, and the other ran to unveil the felt curtain at the entrance of the inn.

Ah Lang was moved by the ark, and woke up, and when he saw that the person who moved him was the ark, he smiled weakly and said, "I'll just go by myself." ”

Fang Zhou didn't insist, and when he heard this, he let go of his hand and let Ah Lang stand up on his own, and then stood silently behind him and watched him enter the inn before he raised his heel and went up.

When he came to the door, he was suddenly attracted by the lantern hanging by the door, the lantern looked strange, shaped like a funnel, and there was a twisted vine on the lamp surface, I don't know if it was broken or the innkeeper forgot to add oil, there was no candle flame in it at this time, it hung there in a black hole, swaying in the wind, and looked particularly desolate.

"Ark, won't you come in?" Xiaoshu's hand was sore when he raised the curtain, and when he saw Fang Zhou standing there for a while, he called out, "I still have to book a room, Ah Lang looks tired." ”

Fang Zhou came back to his senses suddenly, and walked over quickly, and said thoughtfully: "It's time to settle Ah Lang first." ”

As he spoke, he glanced around, looking for Ah Lang, who was walking ahead.

Ah Lang stood quietly in the middle of the lobby with his back to him, as if he was waiting for him to follow.

Fang Zhou's originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he stepped forward a few times to stabilize Ah Lang's slightly shaking body, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it a little unbearable, why don't you find a place to sit down first?" ”

Before the words fell, Ah Lang suddenly turned his head, first smiled miserably at the ark, and then said with a trembling voice with a pale face full of horror: "I have already advised you, don't come back--but you still brought me back--will die, will die-"

Fang Zhou's heart was shocked for a moment, and he stared at Ah Lang tightly, and Xiao Yan, who was standing on the side, also looked at Ah Lang in panic and said nothing.

Ah Lang seemed to have malaria, his whole body shook violently, and he even reached out to hug his arm, trembling and intermittently despairing: "It's over-it's over-it's all over-I'll never be able to get out anymore-I'll never be able to get out again-"

Fang Zhou understood that Ah Lang was sick again, and he had already tensed his body, and at the same time increased his strength to support Ah Lang, and glanced at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan nodded hurriedly and took out a celadon bottle from his arms.

"Sister Tsing Yi, the lantern at the door is broken!" Xiuxiu ran over from Fang Zhou and the others, and shouted to Tsing Yi behind the counter as she ran, "Do we want to change it and hang it?" A few guests complained to Xiuxiu that the door was not lit at all. ”

As if he was startled by Xiuxiu who ran over, Ah Lang was suddenly shocked, Fang Ark secretly said that it was not good, and before he could react and hold down Ah Lang, Ah Lang suddenly broke free of Fang Zhou's hand and hit the counter headlong.

Tsing Yi, who was bowing her head to keep accounts, heard Xiuxiu call her, so she put down her pen and raised her head, and saw a person with a crazy look pounced on her.

Tsing Yi's heart sank in an instant, and before she could dodge, the man had already collapsed in front of her, hugged her leg and cried bitterly:

"Little lady in Tsing Yi, please save me-".
