Chapter 63: Snow Pirates
Su Xiao's burns were indeed severe.
The handyman carried a stretcher and walked quickly on the road up the mountain. The poor child curled up on a stretcher, moaning in pain from time to time.
His weight was already light, but after the fire, it seems to have become lighter again, and the person has become smaller.
A layer of white cloth covering the stretcher was soaked into a human figure by Su Xiao's wounded flesh. Seeing the pus and blood dripping under the stretcher, Fushengye was really afraid that Su Xiao would scatter if he shook it a little harder.
Fushengye had to shout all the way: "Slow down! Slow down! Steady! Steady! ”
As soon as he arrived at Xishan Villa, Su Xiao was sent to the room that Huaxin had packed up in advance. The house was already lit with charcoal fires, warm and cozy. Su Mo's father was carrying a lot of burn medicine to give Su Xiao a systemic treatment.
Su Xiao's whole body could no longer see a complete piece of skin, and it took Su Mo's father half a day to do a preliminary treatment of the rotten flesh on his body, and then apply another layer of ointment. In the end, he prescribed another pair of decoctions for Su Mo to decoction.
It was already late after all this, and Fushengye looked at poor Su like a knife.
At night, the floating leaves were pressed by the troubles, and he didn't eat a bite of the dinner sent by the painting heart.
Late at night, after watching Su Mo feed Su Xiao a decoction, she came to the room of the floating leaves.
Floating Leaf sat alone at the table, his heart was helpless. It's been a long time since Huaxin has shed tears, because she doesn't have hands, and it's inconvenient to wipe her face if she wants to shed tears.
Now she looked at Fushengye and burst into tears of distress.
Fushengye said: "I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I feel like I always want to kill someone, what's wrong with me?" ”
After he finished speaking, he gently wiped the tears from his face.
Huaxin said: "All the people in Suli Town have been killed except for Su Xiao. Who else cares about their grievances now. If Childe is also in prison, I am afraid that this tragedy will become an unsolved case. ”
Fu Shengye said: "The Criminal Department will not take such a big case lightly!" ”
Huaxin said: "The Criminal Department has recalled all the arrests and works that were investigated in Suli Town, and Piaoxue City sent an emergency order, urging relevant people to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Prince Huayan as soon as possible, and did not say a word about the tragedy in Suli Town!" ”
Fushengye said in an air: "There is such a thing? Could it be that the death of one hundred and thirty people in a village is not worth the life of a prince who painted a face? ”
Huaxin said: "In the eyes of the superiors, I am afraid that the lives of ten villages are not as important as none of the princes of Huayan. ”
Fushengye said: "What bullshit prince, Lao Tzu doesn't care, you can die wherever you love to die!" I want to seek justice for the unjust souls of the Suli tragedy. ”
Su Mo pushed the door and entered: "Su Xiao is awake, clamoring to see the Ninth Elder!" ”
Floating leaves hurried to Su Xiao's room. Su Xiao saw that the floating leaves actually rolled off the bed. He knelt on the ground and cried: "I beg the Ninth Elder to avenge me, my father and mother were killed by bad people, woo woo woo-"
Fushengye hurriedly helped Su Xiao to the bed and lay down: "Don't cry child, speak slowly!" ”
Su Xiaodao: "As soon as you left that day, a group of robbers came, and there were more than 100 of them. Our small shop simply couldn't take in so many people, and those who couldn't get in started swearing and saying nasty things, and we put up with it. ”
Fusheng Ye said: "Why did they kill people? ”
Su Xiao's tears couldn't stop flowing: "There was a robber leader in a mink coat who touched my mother's hand and wanted to do something to my mother." I couldn't see it, so I stepped forward and poured it on his clothes while I poured him tea. ”
Fushengye said: "So he got angry, and..."
Su Xiaodao: "He didn't get angry immediately, and said with a smile, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a child." When my mother saw that I was in trouble, she came out and scolded me, you stupid baby is such an idiot..."
Fushengye said: "Then where?" ”
Su Xiaodao: "Then the robber leader tore up my mother's clothes, and called two robbers to do that kind of thing to my mother." My mother was crying and shouting, so many of them were just laughing and coaxing..."
Fushengye said: "How did you escape this catastrophe?" ”
Su Xiaodao: "None of them care about me as a child. As soon as my father saw that he was in trouble, he went back to the village and called for people to bring knives and guns to fight the robbers, and then the robbers began to kill people when they saw them! My father hid me under the stove in a hurry. No sooner had he hid me than a Humpty Dumpty man killed me with a sword. The ashes under the stove were still so hot that I was too scared to move, and slowly I fainted from the heat, and when I woke up again, it was like this. ”
Fusheng Ye listened with righteous indignation: "What a bunch of brutes, insulting his mother in front of a child and killing the entire village." Such a heinous group of people, why did the moon god let them live in the world? ”
Su Xiaodao: "My father is dead, my mother is dead, my grandfather is also dead, and all my relatives are dead." You're the only friend I've ever exchanged gifts. I want to ask you to avenge our whole family. I won't live for a few days, and when I die, I'll be a cow for you to do a lifetime of hard work! ”
Fushengye said: "Don't say stupid things, I will definitely be able to cure you!" ”
Su Xiao shed tears and said: "But I don't want to live like this, even if I don't die, I'm like a ghost, going out in the middle of the night and scaring others!" ”
Fushengye said: "Don't think so much, little child, wait until I bring you the head of that gang of robbers." Let you pay tribute to the souls of your parents. ”
Su Xiaodao: "They are a very powerful group of robbers. ”
Fushengye said: "I'm also very powerful. ”
Late at night, Su Mo hurried back from outside, he woke up and slept in Su's small bedside clothes and asked, "Where did the master go?" ”
Huaxin said: "The master said that he was going to kill the snow thief Ye Wuji!" ”
Su Mo said: "When is it, the master can still take care of this idle matter." ”
The painting said angrily: "How can this be called an idle matter? Isn't justice the most important thing in this world? What are you looking for in your master? ”
Su Mo said: "The lord of Lan Lan went into the palace of the sea prince to drink, and he hasn't come out yet, so I'm afraid that something will happen, so I came to tell the master." ”
Huaxin said: "You have a lot of idle thoughts, the county lord of Qilan and the prince of the sea have already made a marriage, and you still need to remind people when they will go home after having a meal together?" ”
Su Mo said: "Could it be that I am too worried? ”
"I'm only worried about my master's safety now. The snow thieves have been entrenched in the snow mountains for many years, and they have come and gone without a trace, and it is difficult to say whether they can find it or not. Even if you find it, it's not easy to deal with. ”
Su Mo said: "Is the master going alone?" ”
Huaxin said: "I also persuaded it." But he was angry, and he had to go alone to find the snow thief. He said that it was not appropriate to use the army of the Suzaku Battalion at this time, and he was afraid that the unauthorized mobilization of troops into the snow-capped mountains would attract suspicion and suspicion. He also knew that the county lord of Qilan had gone to the Sea Prince's Courtyard to attend the meeting, and he said that this trip was unpredictable and unpredictable, and he didn't want the county lord of Qilan to take risks with several junior sisters, so he didn't inform Qijian. ”
Su Mo said: "And me?" I can risk my life for the sake of my master, why doesn't the master take me? ”
Huaxin said: "The master asked you to stay to protect Su Xiao's safety, and from now on, you don't leave here for a moment." ”
Su Mo said: "No problem, I'm just waiting here for the master to return safely." ”
The floating leaves rode the tight golden eagle to the vicinity of the snow-capped mountain, where the terrain is very high, and the wind and snow are constant all year round. As far as the eye can see, the endless peaks are covered with snow, there are no birds in the sky, and there are few traces of wild beasts on the ground.
Once here, the golden eagle refused to continue flying, because it was too cold in the air. The golden eagle had only been flying for a while, and its wings were covered with frost.
However, in the middle of this icy valley, there were still several tents lit with lights.
Floating Leaf immediately asked the golden eagle to take him to the edge of the tent.
These tents are too rudimentary to resemble the fabled snow pirate camps. Fushengye used his sword scabbard to open the curtain of a tent and walked in slowly.
The space in the tent is cramped. There was not even a charcoal brazier in this tent, and under a dim oil lamp, seven or eight reckless men were lying in a circle on woolen blankets and playing with dice.
Judging by their dress, they should be people who are collecting medicine in the mountains. There are many unique and precious medicinal herbs in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, so there are always some herb pickers who come to adventure.
These humble tents were the strongholds of these herb pickers. After a long cold night, these herb pickers gather together, and when they are bored, they will also use gambling to pass the time.
For these reckless people, a small gamble is pleasant, and a few snow lotus leaves are enough for them to win or lose a few times and play all night.
Herb pickers have long formed their own interest groups, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the industry without being introduced by acquaintances. Their organization is also very xenophobic, because although the snow-capped mountains are large, there are only so many medicines that can be collected. There are some herbs that are not ripe, and some herbs that only need fruits and leaves, and they will never dig up the rhizomes.
They saw a young man enter the tent, looked at him curiously, and went on to gamble. No one cares about the arrival of floating leaves.
Floating leaves are not wearing his trademark black robes, nor are they wearing a golden mask. He was wearing a thick cashmere jacket at first sight, and he looked like a weak boy.
"Hey! The offspring is here! ”
Fushengye turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard standing at the door of another tent beckoning to him.
Floating leaves followed the man into his tent.
The bearded man said: "Don't pay attention to those medicine pickers, they are very born and never trust outsiders." ”
Fushengye hugged his fists and said: "At the beginning of Xia Su, I entered the mountain to find a thousand-year-old snow lotus to treat a friend. ”
The bearded man picked up the deerskin wine bag and drank a large sip of soju and said with a smile: "How can there be so many thousand-year-old snow lotus, it's just a legend." I can get you some snow lotus for decades. ”
Fushengye said: "I'm afraid it's useless if the year is too shallow!" ”
The beard said, "If the year is not enough, do you eat more?" ”
Fushengye smiled bitterly: "May I ask my brother's surname, is it to collect medicinal herbs in this snowy mountain?" ”
The beard said, "Hey, you just treat me as a medicinal herb merchant!" ”
When the golden eagle saw that the floating leaf had entered the tent alone, it didn't care whether it was alive or dead, so it hissed and flew away.
Fushengye didn't care when he heard the neighing of the golden eagle, and asked curiously, "Did your mount fly away?" ”
Fushengye said: "It is estimated that it is afraid of the cold, so I will go first." It will come back to me tomorrow at dawn. ”
The bearded man suddenly stared at the floating leaves and said, "Silence! Another uninvited guest has arrived! ”
The floating leaves pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the movement outside.
Outside the tent, there were more than a dozen strong men with repeating crossbows and knives forming a hunting formation and surrounding this side.
Fushengye heard those people passing the command to each other: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go. ”
Fushengye looked at the bearded man in surprise and said, "Who is coming?" Is it the legendary snow pirates? ”
Bearded smiled, "They're coming at me, but apparently they don't intend to let the others here go." ”
