At the foot of the mountain.

Not long after Luo Qingzhou's master and servant went up the mountain, several figures gathered in the dense forest next to the path.

One of them, a thin man, was surrounded in the middle.

The other people were either full of flesh, or fierce, or had fierce eyes, but they were respectful to the thin man.

"Boss, it's confirmed, it's already up the mountain."

"There were only two of them, and no one else was seen."

"We've been waiting for almost a month, and today we can finally finish this order and leave this hellish place."

The thin man's eyes flashed, and his voice was low: "Second, fourth, you take the lead first." The third and fifth, you go around to the top and surround it, pay attention to the surroundings, and don't act rashly for the time being. Let's take a look at the situation on the second and fourth sides first, and I'll look at it from behind. ”

"Boss, just a weak scholar and a little maid, is it necessary to be so cautious?"

"Old Five, you don't understand this. The boss does things and has always been leaky. The lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength. After all, it was from a large family, although we didn't see the guards on the surface, but it doesn't mean that there are no people behind their backs, maybe they are waiting on the mountain as early as possible. ”

"Yes, it's better to be cautious."

"Then my second brother and I will go up and test it first to see if there are anyone else?"

"Yes, let's take a closer look first, if you have the chance, do it directly, strike with a thunderbolt, and finish the scholar first, even if you have completed the task."

"Hehe, boss, I saw that girl, she was small and exquisite, her skin was white and tender, and her appearance was handsome, so let's ......have a few brothers later."

"Don't make a mistake! What kind of woman can't find if you have money? Quickly decided, finished them as quickly as possible, and quickly took the rest of the money and left. ”

The thin man's face was full of fierceness.

The group discussed in a low voice again, and then went up the mountain separately.

The sun soon rose in the sky.

Hillside.

In the woods, cigarette smoke curls.

Luo Qingzhou and Fluttershy kneel in front of the burning incense candle and throw the paper money they bought into the flames.

The air was filled with the smell of burning paper and burning incense sticks.

The indistinct handwriting on the wooden sign became more and more blurred in the smoke that rose from the clouds.

The cold wind was whistling, the leaves were sizzling, and the ashes on the ground were swirling and fluttering everywhere.

When Luo Qingzhou knelt down and looked up again, he suddenly saw through the smoke and found that the handwriting on the wooden sign was distorted and deformed.

At the same time, he sees a vague gray shadow on the right side of Fluttershy, who is kneeling next to him.

When he suddenly turned his head to look, the gray shadow suddenly disappeared again.

There were only a few wisps of ash and unburned confetti, which flew in the wind and then disappeared.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

Fluttershy's eyes are red and she wipes tears.

"It's fine."

Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and threw all the remaining banknotes into the burning fire.

His gaze looked through the smoke, to the wooden sign in front of him, and then to the grave behind the wooden sign.

If it's really like what the strange book says, there are ghosts in this world.

Then at this time, the mother may really appear in the form of a ghost, looking at him desolately from the side, silently shedding tears, but unable to recognize each other.

For some, the image may be terrifying.

But for him, it only hurts.

"Childe, don't be sad...... Madame is in the spirit of heaven, if she knows that Childe has married a lady who is like a fairy, and is doing well now, she will definitely be very happy. ”

Fluttershy's eyes are red, and she comforts her.

"Yes, if my mother knows that the two of us have left Chengguo Mansion now and are doing well in our new home, I will definitely be very happy."

Luo Qingzhou looked at the burning fire in front of him and muttered.

"Let's go."

The paper on the ground was burned, and there was not much of the incense and candles left.

Luo Qingzhou gets up, extinguishes the flames, looks at the grave again, and leaves with Fluttershy.

"Madam, we are leaving, during the Qingming Festival, the slave maid and the son will come to visit you again."

Fluttershy sobs and waves.

The master and servant walked through the woods and the graves, and walked up the path up the hill where they had come.

At this moment, two men, one old and one young, walked out of the woods opposite.

After seeing them, the middle-aged man, who was about forty years old, hurriedly beckoned: "Childe stays, can you ask for directions?" ”

The two men came to the front of the master and servant, and a sincere smile appeared on their faces.

Luo Qingzhou looked at them, nodded and said, "Where are you going?" ”

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled innocently, and was about to speak, Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand and pointed to the woods behind them and said, "Is that person your companion?" ”

The two men were stunned and looked back.

"Bang!"

Suddenly there was a muffled sound, out of thin air!

"Click!"

The sound of bones shattering was heard!

The young man's head suddenly fell back, his body staggered back a few steps, and with a "snap", he fell directly to the ground, his eyes widened, his forehead sunken, and his brain burst out, and he was killed instantly!

The middle-aged man suddenly turned his head, and the hand in the robe around his waist was just about to be taken out, when there was a "bang", Luo Qingzhou's right foot had already kicked heavily on his chest, and he was directly kicked out!

"Smack!"

He was kicked into the woods behind him, and the hand in his robe had been taken out, and in his hand was a dagger of cold light.

But at this moment, his chest collapsed, his ribs were all broken, and streams of blood were spilling from his mouth and nose.

He lay on the ground, his mouth open, his eyes widened and twitched a few times, his body went limp, and he was completely killed!

This change happened in electric time!

Before Fluttershy could react, or even scream, the two men were crushed to the bone with a punch and a kick, killing them!

Fluttershy's eyes widened and her mouth widened, and she was about to scream when Luo Qingzhou grabbed her little hand and prepared to run down the mountain.

But at this moment, a thin man suddenly appeared below.

The thin man had stopped below, as if admiring the scenery around him, but when he saw this scene, his face changed at first, and then he ran up.

Luo Qingzhou immediately pulls Fluttershy and prepares to run towards the mountain.

But on the mountain, two more men appeared, both holding daggers with deep cold light in their hands, and rushed down.

"Let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Qingzhou immediately took Fluttershy and ran into the woods that the old and the young had just walked out of.

As he walked past the middle-aged man's body, Luo Qingzhou suddenly bent down and picked up the dagger from the ground, stuffed it into Fluttershy's hand, and whispered, "Take it!" ”

Fluttershy's face turned pale, she trembled and held the dagger, her legs were so weak that she couldn't run, and she cried, "Childe, you...... You run first, don't worry about the slaves......"

Luo Qingzhou didn't speak, pulling her and continuing to run forward.

"Boss! This ......"

The two men who rushed down from the mountain with daggers in their hands, at first glance at the tragic death of the two corpses on the ground, were suddenly frightened, their faces were full of horror, and they stopped their steps vividly!

This...... This is what the scholar did?

The two of them opened their mouths, their faces turned pale, and they were frightened, where would they dare to chase again!

Isn't it just a weak scholar who is helpless? How did one punch and one kick instantly shatter the skulls and sternum of the second and fourth children? It's more brutal than they are???

The thin man looked at the corpses on the ground, his face was also shocked and ugly, but he immediately saw the clues from the two corpses, gritted his teeth and said, "That scholar is also a martial artist!" But there is only the realm of skin refining, chase! ”

He has already succeeded in refining the skin, and now he is refining the meat, and there is a maid beside the other party, so he can't run!

Wouldn't it be halfway to retreat at this time?

What's more, a few people are outlaws, wandering on the edge of life and death many times, after this meal is not the next meal, finally there is a chance to get a large amount of money, after success, you can go away and fly away without worry, how can you give up?

The meat to the mouth must not be allowed to fly!

The thin man was the first to rush into the forest.

The remaining two men looked at each other, their eyes flashing with a fierce light, and they also gritted their teeth, clenched their daggers, and followed.
