The one hundred and forty-eighth episode felt sorry for Yuan Shu
After walking for a day, Yuan Shu and the others were already sleepy, and they were even more frightened by the "messenger" of Emperor Ziwei before, and now they are really exhausted; Taking advantage of the moonlight, Yuan Shu ordered everyone to rest on the spot and prepare to go on the trip early the next morning.

"I'm so hungry...... Ji Ling, maybe go find something to eat nearby? ā
Yuan Shu leaned on the horse's legs, wanting to take a rest, but was kicked away by the bad horse, and he was miserable; Seeing this, Ji Ling suddenly had a plan and said: "Lord, this horse is born with a sinful nature, and now he dares to offend the lord, I will kill it and make food for the lord!" ā
Yuan Shu was helpless, but he had no choice but to agree, after all, on this wasteland, there was no personal home that had not been seen within dozens of miles, and it seemed that there was only one way.
Ji Ling hurriedly took out a three-pointed knife, killed the horses with a sloppy operation, and then called a few people to make firewood and roast horse meat; Yuan Shu looked at the bonfire in front of him, sadness came from it, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "I, Yuan Highway, am famous in the world, but I have fallen into such a situation today?" ā
Before long, Ji Ling handed over the horse meat, who knew that Yuan Shu hadn't moved his mouth yet, and suddenly the wind was blowing, and the smoke and dust were billowing, only to see two people and horses suddenly walking on the canyon on both sides. Yuan Shu was so shocked that he didn't dare to eat the horse meat, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ā
The first man rode a horse, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the night, and he didn't speak for a long time, until a breeze blew away the dark clouds in front of the moon, and Yuan Shu could barely see his face.
That person's appearance didn't seem to be unusual, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, didn't he think it was another emperor's subordinate.
But the man cried out from the top of the mountain, "Where did the thief come from?" Don't you know that this place is under the jurisdiction of my lord Wen? ā
Where did King Wen come out of the bandits? Yuan Shu was stunned, he had never heard of such a bandit in Yuzhou. He hurriedly put down the horse meat, got up and asked, "This Wen eldest king, I don't know what taboo I have committed to let the king go out in person?" ā
Having said that, Yuan Shu secretly hated in his heart, he saw a thief soldier in the past, which one could not be killed with a single order? Now that I want to show softness to these bandits, I get angry when I think about it!
King Wen said with a smile: "I have thousands of brothers, I haven't robbed homes and plundered money for a long time, I am hungry, and I want to borrow some money from Zunjia!" ā
Isn't it just robbery?
After all, the bandit is still a bandit, but Yuan Shu really has no money on him, so he can only spread his hands and say: "Don't hide it from the king, I don't have any money on me now, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to eat horse meat!" ā
Wen Changwang was furious when he ascended, and he was angry like a Shura evil god, and angrily reprimanded: "Let your fucking bullshit!" The brocade robe you wear is much better than ours, so how can you run out of money? It just so happens that I haven't opened meat for a long time, and it's also excellent to kill you to make human broth! ā
Yuan Shu was instantly frightened, and kowtowed as before: "The king is good, I really don't have any money, I just ask the king to let the villain live!" ā
"Little ones, fence them up for me!"
King Wen immediately ordered, and when the men and horses on the two mountain bags heard this, they ran down with hoes and forks, and they were dressed like local peasants, as if they were real bandits.
Yuan Shu saw that he surrounded himself and complained bitterly, so he hurriedly kowtowed to King Wen and said: "The king is good, I'm just a passing merchant, I met a bandit king a few times ago and I have robbed me of nothing, I really don't have any money on me now!" ā
"It's all said, if you don't have money, you can make human broth!" King Wen did not have the slightest sympathy, and said with a hideous face.
"King, I'm just a cheap life, what if I kill it?"
Yuan Shu has never felt so aggrieved, he actually wants to kowtow to a thief and beg for mercy, it is the tiger that falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs! And if he was killed here, it would really be a big joke!
But I heard the little soldier on the side say: "King, this person is so well dressed, I'm afraid that the clothes can be sold at a good price; Why don't I take off their horses and wait for them to go by themselves!" ā
King Wen thought this was a good idea, so he ordered: "You merchant, let you and your men take off all the clothes on your bodies!" Buckle the horses and get out of here! ā
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and saw that he could save his life, and he didn't care about his identity, so he hurriedly took off his clothes and left a close-fitting lining; I didn't think that the king of Nawen ordered again: "Take off the liner for me, leaving a pair of obscene pants is already your face!" ā
Yuan Shu nodded hurriedly and took off the inner lining, and the wrinkled fat actually leaked out, causing the surrounding soldiers to laugh; Yuan Shu felt ashamed, endured hunger, and in the ridicule of those thieves, he bare his body and led his subordinates to run away.
It wasn't until Yuan Shu ran away that King Nawen laughed and said, "Hahaha! Oh, I feel sorry for this Yuan Shu, you said that our lord, this trick is too ruthless! ā
The eldest king of Nawen was naturally Wei Yan, and he ordered the soldiers to kill the horses for meat, and returned to Qian County after supper. After all, there are still several levels waiting for Yuan Shu behind......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The cold wind was howling, Yuan Shu had never felt so cold, and there were no other cold tools on his body except for a pair of his own dirty pants; Even if he wants to borrow clothes from his subordinates now, it seems impossible to do so, after all, everyone is in the same situation as him.
Under the pressure of hunger and cold, Yuan Shu and the others did not even dare to rest, for fear that they would freeze to death in the wilderness after falling asleep for a while; What's more, there may be many wild wolves hidden in this deep mountain, in case they are discovered, then they are in this situation, but they have no backhand power.
"Lord, there's a village in front of you!" Ji Ling pointed ahead and said excitedly.
Yuan Shu looked over and saw that there was a deserted village in the wilderness. The deserted village is dilapidated, as if no one lives there, but Yuan Shu doesn't care about this, at least he can shelter from the wind and cold inside, and if he is lucky, he can find a few clothes to wear.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The deserted village is gloomy, the houses are full of holes, the cobwebs are dense, and there are no people living in them for a long time; Yuan Shu and the others found a slightly better-looking house and walked in.
However, after Yuan Shu and the others entered the house, they found that there were a few faint candlesticks lit in the room, which seemed to have been lit for a while; They were shocked, how could there be a lit candlestick in such a deserted village?
"How many guests?"
An eerie voice came from the house, and everyone looked in horror to see that it was an ordinary person dressed in ordinary clothes, and then they were relieved; Yuan Shu immediately set up a shelf, sat on a tattered table, and drank: "Hurry up and prepare some food for us, and then open an upper room!" ā
The man grimly took a lamp, said yes, and went to the back kitchen; Ji Ling felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, I'm only afraid that feng shui is not good here, if I get into trouble with something unclean, I'm just afraid of ......."
Yuan Shu also seems to have this concern, but he finally came across a place where he could take a little shelter from the wind, how could he give up? He could only signal Ji Ling to be relieved, and let his entourage sit casually, flip through it, and see if there were any clothes to wear.
"Squeak......
The door suddenly opened, and several men dressed in white entered, who were disheveled, and whose faces were covered with messy hair, and whose faces could not be seen clearly, like ghosts; Those people didn't care about Yuan Shu all the way, and walked directly to the empty position on the side.
"Here you go again?"
As if hearing the movement, the shopkeeper immediately came out, with a gloomy voice, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and walked straight to the men; Yuan Shu was dissatisfied, why were they able to serve wine, but they didn't? was about to scold, but was stopped by Ji Ling.
Ji Ling's hands trembled, he pointed to the porcelain wine glasses of those people from afar, and his mouth trembled: "Lord, look at what they drink...... What is it? ā
After Yuan Shu saw it, he was almost crazy with fright, what kind of wine was in those people's wine glasses? It's blood! Sticky and oozing panic; But those people didn't care at all, gently brushed their hair, and drank it.
Suddenly, I heard an infiltrating voice and said, "Old Chen...... This is a bit old, did you just kill it? ā
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said expressionlessly: "No one has been here for a long time, and it is still the same person last time...... Do you want mine? ā
Yuan Shu listened to their conversation in horror, and listened to their words, this is human blood, and it was a long time ago; If this man had said that he would feed them with his blood, who else could have done such a mad thing but evil spirits?
"What are you doing...... Isn't there a ready-made one here? ā
After that, the ghost-looking people all turned their heads and looked at Yuan Shu and his party; Yuan Shu didn't dare to look at him, and hid behind Ji Ling, he knew what these people were thinking, but he couldn't take a step anymore......
"You're early, or they've already been brought to me...... the shopkeeper said gloomily.
These people not only drink blood, but also eat human flesh? It's over, is it true that you have encountered a ghost village? When their fierceness is revealed, will their group still escape?
The shopkeeper came slowly, his speed was slow, he was peaceful, as if he had no legs; He said to Yuan Shu: "Distinguished guest, the room is ready, do you think I will bring the meal to your room, or will I eat it here?" ā
Yuan Shu's teeth chattered, but at this moment, it seemed that someone in his team couldn't hold on and had a nervous breakdown, wailed a few times, kicked open the door and ran out, and before long, he disappeared.
"Live?" The man's voice was still low, like a demon blowing the wind, and Yuan Shu and his party felt a chill down their spines when they heard it.
So far, does Yuan Shu still dare to live? That person has already let out the words, he is already human flesh on the chopping board, and he wants to give it to others to eat, isn't this living for others to be slaughtered?
But it doesn't work...... Who knows if this wicked man will turn his face immediately? The gloomy appearance of these people, Yuan Shu has long lost the fighting spirit to resist, can live for a while, what if he escapes when the time comes?
"Live...... Live! ā
