Chapter 23: Back Down the Mountain

Tang Xiaoqi was taken aback: "I'm afraid it's too late?" No, I'll go and carry Sister Meizi away. ”

"That's even more delay!" Yi Xingchen hurriedly stopped her, "Sister Meizi is seriously injured, this place is a little far from the city, we walked empty-handed for a long time before, and it was too heavy to carry a person, so we had to find a carriage." Moreover, she has injuries on her body, and walking on her back will attract the attention of others. In addition, the body of a man in black armed with a steel knife was also found next to her, which was pierced through the throat by a sword, and it is estimated that she killed him. Judging from what the little monk said, the accomplices of the man in black may still be looking for Sister Meizi, and they must be cautious and prepared all the best measures. Although Sister Meizi was seriously injured, she was not worried about her life, and I have simply bandaged her, so she should be fine for the time being. ”

Tang Xiaoqi felt that Yi Xingchen was reasonable, so he nodded, and followed Yi Xingchen and trotted out of the temple. There are some rental carriages parked at the door, which are used to make incense to the pilgrims and return to the city.

There were more than a dozen of these rental carriages, scattered around the temple entrance. Because you want to transport plum cold incense, you can't let others know, so you must find a handlebar-style carriage that is old and reliable and can't talk nonsense. But who has such a character in the handlebar style of these dozen carriages? Unknown.

A thought flashed in Yi Xingchen's head, and he decided to calculate a hexagram to choose. -- In the eight trigrams, Qian represents the horse, and the Qian hexagram belongs to gold, and if you want to be auspicious, it must be earth, and the earth is born of gold, and in the eight trigrams, Kun and Gen are both earth, which are the northeast and southwest respectively.

However, the Kun hexagram is three yin, generally representing a woman or a sinister person or a yin person, such a person is indeed uneasy, and the Gen hexagram is good, Gen represents the mountain, represents loyalty and honesty, therefore, you should find a carriage in the northwest.

He turned to look north-west, and sure enough, he saw an old man, looking at them with his sleeves crossed, his face full of humility.

Yi Xingchen said: "Just hire his car." ”

Tang Xiaoqi didn't know that Yi Xingchen had already calculated a hexagram in her head just now, and chose the most suitable vehicle according to the hexagram from the dozen or so cars, and she didn't have the idea to follow Yi Xingchen of course, and the two came to the carriage in the northwest corner.

Yi Xingchen said: "How much does it cost to go back to the city?" ”

"You can give eighty wen, and everyone else wants one hundred."

Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "I'll give you a hundred, because we still have to pick up a friend, he is going to drink with someone on the mountain, you have to wait on the side of the road for a while, we have to go up the back mountain to call him." ”

The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Cheng, I'll wait for you, thank you, thank you." ”

I got in the car and drove to the city. The way back to the city is through the hill behind the temple, which is below Tallinn.

When he arrived at the back mountain, Yi Xingchen asked the old man to wait on the side of the road, took out Mei Lengxiang's money bag, and gave the old man all the 100 articles that had been discussed. The old man was very happy, and promised to wait for them.

Tang Xiaoqi followed Yi Xingchen up the mountain and said to Yi Xingchen: "You just gave him all the money, if the carriage he drove left, where can we find it?" ”

Yi Xingchen said: "Don't worry, the person I fancy is absolutely right, he is an honest person and will not abscond with money." ”

When Yi Xingchen calculated the hexagram just now, the three-dimensional hexagram in his mind was consistent with the hexagram he was thinking, and there was no flash of the hexagram or the hexagram, which proved that the hexagram he listed and the idea of preparing to solve the hexagram were correct, and the ancestor recognized his hexagram calculation results, so there was no inconsistency in the three-dimensional hexagram, so he firmly believed that his judgment was right.

Moreover, he wants to test it with this hundred words, if he runs away with money in the handlebar style, it means that the handlebar style is cunning and untrustworthy, and if it is not good, it will talk things everywhere, but it will cause trouble for them. Letting him abscond with the money is equivalent to spending money to avoid disaster. If he is still waiting at the bottom of the mountain, it means that he is honest and reliable, and he will be relieved.

Tang Xiaoqi walked fast because she was worried about Mei Lengxiang, and Yi Xingchen couldn't keep up. Tang Xiaoqi had no choice but to hold his armpit with one hand and run him almost half-lifted up the mountain. Soon they came to Tallinn, and under the leadership of Yi Xingchen, they found Mei Lengxiang in the grass.

Seeing Mei Lengxiang fainting in the grass, Tang Xiaoqi suddenly panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug and keep calling. However, Mei Lengxiang did not react except for the occasional ** two.

Yi Xingchen said: "Let's get her back quickly, she should have bled too much and passed out in a coma, you can't wake her up, hurry up and take her back to call your uncle for treatment." ”

Tang Xiaoqi agreed, and was about to squat down and put Mei Lengxiang on his back, but Yi Xingchen hurriedly stopped him and said, "If you carry it like this, it will attract the attention of others." She looked like she had two wounds on her back, blood on her back, and her clothes were wet. ”

Tang Xiaoqi was taken aback, turned over her body and looked, and there was a large patch of blood on her back. Suddenly trembling with fright: "What should I do?" ”

Yi Xingchen had already thought of a way and said, "You quickly take off her bloody clothes, there is a dead man under the stone tower over there, I will take off his clothes and put them on for Mei Lengxiang." The man had been pierced through the throat by a sword, and he fell headfirst downward, and the blood was flowing downward, so that the blood did not stain his clothes. I'll take off his clothes and give it to you, and you put it on for Sister Meizi, pretending to be a man, and we'll say he's drunk and carry him back. ”

Tang Xiaoqi is young, and wherever he has any ideas, he listens to Yi Xingchen. And she also felt that what Yi Xingchen said made sense.

Yi Xingchen walked quickly to the stone tower, stripped the clothes off the clothes of the male corpse, and threw the clothes far away to Tang Xiaoqi. Then he picked up the steel knife in the man's hand and slashed at the man's face, making it unrecognizable.

Then, he took a breath and began to dig a hole in the ground with a steel knife to bury the body.

Of course, the steel knife is not easy to use as a hoe, and when he was panting, Tang Xiaoqi's voice came from behind him and said, "Let me come!" ”

Yi Xingchen took a breath, jumped out of the shallow dirt pit, and handed the steel knife to Tang Xiaoqi. Tang Xiaoqi also understood that Yi Xingchen was about to bury the corpse, so he quickly dug the pit with a steel knife. She has martial arts, and of course her strength is not bad, and she quickly dug a hole. It was almost a man deep, and she turned her head away.

Yi Xingchen knew that she didn't dare to look at the naked corpse, so she went over and dragged the corpse to the side of the earthen kang, pushed it down, checked the steel knife, and found no characteristic objects such as handwriting or ribbons entangled in it, it was an ordinary knife, so he threw the steel knife into it, and then pushed the soil next to it inside.

Tang Xiaoqi heard the sound of bulldozing, and estimated that he pushed the body down and began to bury it, so he turned around and helped her push the soil into the pit with a red face. The pit was quickly filled. I found a few stones from the side and pressed them on them, and I couldn't tell that the soil had been moved.

Yi Xingchen grabbed another handful of dirt and wiped out the bloody handprints on the stone tower.

Looking around, he couldn't see anything unusual, so he returned to the grass, and saw that Tang Xiaoqi had already changed Mei Lengxiang into the man's clothes and put them on the clean grass next to him. And there were dark red blood stains on the grass where Mei Lengxiang had been lying before, which was more obvious, so she quickly grabbed the soil and sprinkled it on it to cover up the bloodstains, and then used Mei Lengxiang's sword to cut some weeds and threw them on it to cover up the traces.

Previously, Tang Xiaoqi had taken off the scabbard that Mei Lengxiang was wrapped around her waist, and at this moment, she inserted Mei Lengxiang's sword into the scabbard, bent it around her waist, and covered it with a belt. Only then did Yi Xingchen know that Mei Lengxiang's sword was a soft sword made of Burmese iron that could bend freely, and it could be inserted into a soft scabbard and wrapped around his waist.

Tang Xiaoqi picked up Mei Lengxiang and walked down the mountain, Yi Xingchen wrapped Mei Lengxiang's changed clothes into a ball, sandwiched them under his armpits, followed behind, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.

When he was about to reach the side of the highway, Yi Xingchen stopped Tang Xiaoqi and said, "I'll carry Sister Meizi." ”

Tang Xiaoqi turned around and stared at him breathlessly, his eyes full of puzzlement and a hint of anger. It's like looking at a disciple.

Of course, Yi Xingchen knew that men and women were very particular about whether they were intimate or not. He hurriedly smiled and explained: "Sister Meizi is wearing a man's clothes, and she has her head wrapped in it, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a man, you don't mind if others see you as a little girl carrying a big man, of course I don't care." ”
