Chapter 45: The Antidote

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Li Bandu felt strange and shouted in the direction of the shadow wall: "Xiao Zhang Fei! ”

"Xiao Zhang Fei" is the nickname of a nursing home, and he should be patrolling the front yard in the first half of the night.

After waiting for a while, Li Bandu was about to call again, and Xiao Zhang Fei leaned out from behind the shadow wall, waved his hand, and retreated.

Li Bandu is very strange, since the person is still there, he should reply, what does it mean to wave his hand inexplicably?

"Be careful, is the front door bolted?"

Xiao Zhang Fei leaned out again and waved his hand, but still refused to speak.

Li Bandu is in his thirties, but he has extremely rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and after noticing the abnormality, he did not show it, but hummed, turned around and glanced at the two people who were asleep in the hall, closed the hall door, and walked along the corridor to the east wing, keeping vigilance on the way.

He knocked on the door, and there were several nurses sleeping in this room, who could get up and help.

Although he was only a little suspicious, Li Bandu didn't want to check alone, after walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he understood a truth: the rules need to be obeyed, and if one party is hiding in the dark, then there is no need to talk about morality.

There was no response in the house, Li Bandu glanced at the sky, the time was not too late, it should be around the second watch, and the people in the house would not sleep too deeply.

He knocked a few more times, but there was still no response.

Li Bandu was really alert, took out the short knife he was carrying, took a few steps back, glanced at the customer, the front hall, and the shadow wall, and decided to go to the shadow wall to check first.

The front yard of Zhao's house is not too big, and it is only more than twenty steps from the guest room in the east chamber to the shadow wall.

If this was an ordinary family, he wouldn't be so nervous, but he had heard a lot of rumors about Hu Sanliulang, and he deliberately asked for a few taels of silver when he was hired.

More than 20 Taoist priests had just died here a few days ago, and it was said that they were killed by a thunderbolt, but after listening to Fan Dajian's words, Li Bandu had another idea.

The whole courtyard was silent, except for the slight sound of footsteps hitting the ground.

There were still seven or eight steps away from the shadow wall, Li Bandu was about to show the short knife behind him, only to feel that his wrist was tight, as if he was caught by a beast, he couldn't help but be surprised, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body, he had no luck, he turned around and wanted to resist, and another hand reached over and covered his mouth.

"Shh

"Hmm......"

"It's me."

Li Bandu heard that this was the voice of He Wu's madman, and he was a little relieved, but he still kept struggling.

"I let go, don't scream."

"Hmmm......"

He Wu madman let go, Li Bandu immediately jumped to the side, and the horizontal knife was in front, "You ......"

"Shh He Wu madman pointed to the shadow wall.

Li Bandu didn't understand what this meant, but he still nodded, and when he saw He Wu madman going around the other side, he advanced with a knife and wanted to come to a two-sided attack.

The shadow wall is facing the door, the shadow is relatively heavy, and the lantern was originally hung on the porch, but it has been extinguished, and only a figure can be vaguely seen standing under the shadow wall.

He Wu Madman jumped up violently, went up with a punch, and the figure flew out sideways, without saying a word.

Li Bandu hesitated slightly, did not move the knife in his right hand, but took a horse step and used his left hand to support the flying body.

To his surprise, the body was extremely light to the touch, and it could be held with one hand.

"With a knife!" He Wu madman shouted.

Li Bandu was still hesitating, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be blood stains on the chest of his body, and he was shocked, and he couldn't care about it, so he immediately threw it out, and at the same time slashed with a knife.

Bang, the body hit the ground, and it looked quite heavy.

Li Bandu is not a devout believer, but as a Jianghu person, he is very awe-inspiring for ghosts and gods, and at this time, a thought crossed his heart - there are ghosts!

He Wu is a madman, whether it is a person or a ghost, he ran over and stepped on it all the time, "Okay." ”

The person on the ground was Xiao Zhang Fei, who was stabbed a few times and trampled on several times, which was unrecognizable, but the real fatal wound was still in the chest.

Li Bandu was creepy at first, but quickly calmed down and said in a low voice: "There are assassins? ”

"Yes."

Li Bandu broke out in a cold sweat again, "He is as light as a piece of paper in my hand." ”

"That's because there's something attached to him."

Li Bandu's heart was about to stop beating, "He waved to me just now......"

"He's been dead for half an hour."

"Yes, there are ghosts!"

"What if there are ghosts? still beat him back and forth. ”

Li Bandu didn't have the guts, "If it's a human, I can deal with a few, if it's a ghost...... I didn't learn the art of exorcism. ”

"If you learn any exorcism techniques, treat them as human beings, and fight them when they should."

"Can you kill you? They're already ghosts. ”

"Who knows, this one was knocked down anyway."

He Wu madman limped around the shadow wall and walked towards the front hall, Li Bandu hurriedly followed, glanced at the east wing, and thought that the people inside had not responded, and his heart trembled as if a caterpillar had crawled by.

"What a ghost? In this way, the demon fox is also real. ”

"Don't worry about that yet, it's important to save people."

"Save whom?"

"Hu Guiyang, of course. My sister had expected him to be in trouble, so she came tonight. ”

"Your sister knows how to tell fortunes?"

"My dad can tell fortunes, my sister...... It will also be a little. ”

Li Bandu was not relieved by this, but became even more frightened, "Brother He, you will catch ghosts, right?" ”

"I'll fight ghosts." He Wu madman waved his fist.

Li Bandu was by no means a coward, but at this time he was resigned, but when he thought of his reputation in the capital, if he escaped tonight, he would no longer be able to do the work of nursing homes in the future, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then fight, I'll go get weapons." ”

Li Bandu didn't dare to go to the guest room to get his weapon, so he ran to the Yanwutang to find two waist knives, an iron rod, and a spear, held them in his arms, and walked back to the front hall quickly.

He Wu Madman stood in front of the table, "Okay, you eat and drink, but you don't call me." ”

Li Bandu knew how to speak, "I want to call you, I'm afraid of disturbing your rest." ”

He Wu madman half-believed it or not, "Why is there an old way, I'll wake them up." ”

"Wait, Master Hu and Fan Zhenren took the pill, saying that it was an hour...... Hey, it's all about time, what are you waiting for, I'll feed the antidote. ”

Two glasses of water were placed on the edge of the table, separated from the wine and food, Li Bandu put down the weapon in his arms, stepped forward to pick up a glass of water, and helped Hu Guiyang with his other hand, finding that he couldn't free his hand to pinch his nose, "He Lao, help help me." ”

He Wu Maniac supported Hu Guiyang from behind, and Li Bandu poured water into it several times.

Hu Guiyang still couldn't wake up.

"Is this really an antidote?" He Wu Maniac asked.

"Yes, the real person has mixed it, and it has been left there without moving, wait a while, and feed the real person the antidote."

The two cooperated and fed Fan Dajian the antidote, but there was no response, snoring like thunder, and sleeping deeper than Hu Guiyang.

"Can't, do you have to wait a little longer?" Li Bandu couldn't figure out why.

"What are you waiting for? Move to the backyard. ”

"Huh?"

"So far, only my sister can protect Hu Guiyang."

"I'll call some people, there are a lot of Zhao family Yizi living in the alley, I know the residence of the thirteenth master."

"It's too late, help me carry someone."

He Wu Maniac held his armpits, Li Bandu raised his feet, and slowly walked outside, "What about Fan Zhenren?" ”

"Who cares if he's safe or not, stay here, I guess no one wants to harm him."

Fan Dajian was lying on the table and fell asleep, He Wu Madman and Li Bandu carried Hu Guiyang to the backyard, and just a few steps out of the door, they heard a voice suddenly come from the street outside, "There are assassins!" Then came a sharp knock on the door.

"The righteous son of the Zhao family is here!" Li Bandu was overjoyed.

"It's useless for them, carry people to the backyard first."

"The Zhao family's righteous son is the best at subduing demons and catching ghosts, I'll open the door."

"Don't ......"

As soon as He Wu Madman said a word, Li Bandu had already put down Hu Guiyang's feet and ran towards the gate quickly.

"It's really ......" He Wu madman scolded, simply carried the sleeping Hu Guiyang on his shoulder, and still walked towards the backyard.

The front hall was closer to the backyard, and He Wu was limping slowly, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Li Bandu, who was there, had already opened the side door.

Hu Guijian came with a few brothers, and when he saw the corpse near the shadow wall, he didn't ask in detail, "What about Hu Guiyang?" ”

"While sleeping, He Wufeng is sending him to the backyard."

Hu Guijian was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the third and sixth brothers must have eaten the Breaking Pill, bypassed the shadow wall, saw He Wu Crazy from a distance, and hurriedly said loudly: "Wait, leave people behind." ”

"Nope." He Wu refused without looking back, stretched out his hand to push the door, but did not push it open, and no matter how hard he pressed, he still didn't push, "Huh? ”

Hu Guijian and others hurriedly came, "Is there no antidote?" ”

"I've eaten it, it's not good." Li Banduan replied behind him, blaming himself.

"Lingji Palace is bad again?" Hu Guijian couldn't believe it.

"The real person is also asleep, and the antidote is equally useless."

He Wu Madman finally kicked open the door to the backyard and was about to enter, when Hu Guijian grabbed him, "Our people will be there soon, where are you going?" ”

"You can't, only my sister can protect Hu Guiyang." He Wu madman shook off Hu Guijian and stepped into the backyard.

Hu Guijian was about to catch up, when a voice suddenly came from the other end, "What about Lord Hu?" ”

Fan Dajian staggered out of the front hall, visibly drunk.

Li Bandu was overjoyed, "The real person is awake, it means that the antidote is effective, Lord Hu, Lord Hu!" ”

Hu Guijian rushed to Fan Dajian and said sharply: "Why is the antidote ineffective for the third and sixth brothers?" ”

"What?" Fan Dajian was startled, and he woke up seven or eight points, "Master Hu didn't wake up?" ”

Li Bandu glanced at the backyard, "I didn't wake up." ”

Fan Dajian bypassed Hu Guijian, ran to the door in a few steps, and stepped into the backyard, only to see He Wu madman carrying Hu Guiyang to the middle of the courtyard, but the speed was getting slower and slower, as if he was moving forward against the wind.

Fan Dajian was dumbfounded, "Demon fox! The demon fox is here! ”

Hu Guijian and the others rushed into the backyard.

In front of everyone's eyes, He Wu Maniac suddenly rushed forward, staggered several steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Hu Guiyang stayed where he was, his feet were weakly stepping on the ground, his head was tilted, still asleep, his arms were strangely spread, his right hand pointed to the small cross-courtyard where He San'er lived, and his left hand reached out to the roof of the front hall.
