Chapter Eighty-Three: The Swamp

The leakage is even worse, the night is as cool as water, and on the stone steps in front of the folk inn, the beauties of the Xiao family sit side by side.

"Feng Nian, it's not early, they're all asleep, let's go back to the room to rest. Xiao Ling'er's slender fingers gently rested on Xiao Fengnian's shoulder and persuaded.

"Xia Xian and the three of them haven't come back yet, will something happen?" Xiao Fengnian propped one elbow on his knee, his slender five fingers curled slightly to support his beautiful chin, and his face was worried.

"No, they're probably together, it's fine. ”

"Ling'er, I went to Miss Pei again today to ask about something, is what she said true? Although I can't remember, I really can't imagine that I used to be like this...... It's better than a beast, I can't figure it out, I don't believe in ......"

"It's all gone......"

......

At this moment, in the swamp of Nightmark Mountain, where the dark curtain hangs low, four people and three horses are struggling to stand up.

"Don't move, the more you move, the faster you fall!" Luo Feng reminded everyone. Now, the swamp mud had just reached the knees of several of them.

"You unlucky thief, you've killed us!" Xia Xian pointed at the red man and scolded, and the red man actually cried: "I'm only seventeen years old...... I don't want to die......"

"You're seventeen, I thought you'd be thirteen or fourteen. Bingruo knew that it was useless to scold him again, looking at his pitiful appearance, his tone was as relaxed as possible, so that everyone would stop being impatient and calm down and find a way.

"It's really interesting, the three of us were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and this time we will die on the same day...... same month" Xia Xian lowered his head and chuckled, Luo Feng sighed and did not answer.

"I wasn't born on the same day as you, so why should I die with you, you bastards, why are you chasing me?" the red man cried and roared.

"When is your birthday?" Bing Ruo asked casually, "Why did you arrest me on January 6, the eighteenth year of the emperor?"

The three of them were shocked, they didn't want to have such a coincidence in the world, could it be that the soul-detaining ghosts were concentrated according to their birthdays?

"Where's the jade seal?" Luo Feng turned his head to look at the red man and asked solemnly.

"You ...... It turned out that it was to pass on the jade seal of the country? Are you Luo Feng?"

"That's right, what's your name?"

Hongren'er wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "My name is Yan Hong'er, I only know that the son of the Luofu family in Yunzhou and a girl from Orion Village are looking for it, it turns out to be your ......."

Later, this Yan Hong'er introduced himself to them, it turned out that his hometown was in the Snow Fog Ice Field, and after he was born, he was disgusted by his parents and siblings because of his red body, and he was abused at home until he was twelve years old and ran away from home, and began to steal for a living.

"The heirloom jade seal is on me, but this thing was given to me by someone else, I came all the way to Liuzhou to find the Yuanji Daoist to identify the authenticity, and accidentally fell on the ground and was picked up by that Pei Yaoguang, I hurriedly turned around and asked him to return me, but he let his subordinates beat me and occupy my treasure!

"Give me the jade seal!" Luo Feng ordered Yan Hong'er sharply, and Yan Hong'er said coldly: "Why? I'm dying, and I'm still thinking about these ......."

After speaking, Yan Hong'er tilted her little head and looked at Xia Xian and asked, "Why did you get involved and your family was also under house arrest?"

Xia Xian said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, give us the jade seal, otherwise, I'll kill you now!"

"It doesn't matter, you have to die early or late, let's have a good time......"

Xia Xian is also a little stunned now, he is just a child of a family surnamed Xia in Wuping County, because of the serial murder of the perverted killer in Wuping County, the Xia couple were killed, and the three-year-old child sleeping in the back room was spared and was found and adopted by Zhan Zhutou, who rushed to investigate.

Later, the martial arts master originally recruited by Yunzhou Luofu fell ill and returned to his hometown, and Luo Chengyu invited Zhan Li, who was famous for his superb martial arts, to teach Luo Feng to practice martial arts. Zhan Li has no wife, and has been raising Xia Xian alone, so he took Xia Xian into Luofu and practiced martial arts with Luo Feng. This is five years, during which Luo Feng and Xia Xian became inseparable brothers, until Xia Xian was brought back to Wuping County by Zhanli when he was fifteen years old, and joined the county government to catch fast.

These things to find the treasure of the jade seal have nothing to do with him, and it is really sad to give away his life in vain.

Xia Xian was just scaring Yan Hong'er, it was impossible for him to really kill him. Seeing the swamp mud gradually submerge to the base of their thighs, everyone was very anxious.

The four of them shouted for help together, but only their echoes could be heard in the empty and quiet valley, and the other half of them could not be seen at all.

"If we shout like this, can the old Taoist priest hear it?" Xia Xian asked in despair.

"If you were awake, you might be able to hear it, but now ......" Luo Feng pinched his eyebrows and shook his head.

......

Another hour passed, and the four of them shouted so loudly that their voices were hoarse, but they still couldn't see half a figure, not even a bird or beast, which was truly desperate. The mud was waistless, and the twelve long legs of the three horses were no longer visible.

Bingruo mourned in her heart, and her father was still waiting for her to go back......

"Ahh

Then, Bing Ruo noticed that Yan Hong'er beside him began to tilt to the other side, as if there was a force dragging one of his legs below!

Bingruo was shocked, and reflexively grabbed one of Yan Hong'er's arms beside him and dragged it to his side, confronting the force that dragged him on one of his legs.

She didn't have any affection for this Yan Hong'er, but Luo Feng and Xia Xian were a lot of distance away from her and Yan Hong'er, and they couldn't reach it at all, and she was the only one who could hold Yan Hong'er.

Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, although he is just a thief, but since he is about to die, it is better to seize the time to accumulate some yin virtue.

However, the force that dragged Yan Hong'er in the mud was not weak, and Bingruo himself was pulled slightly in the direction of Yan Hong'er.

"Liang Bingruo, are you crazy?!" Xia Xian's chest rose and fell deeply.

"Bingruo, let go of him!" Luo Feng frowned.

That Yan Hong'er was full of tears, choked up, couldn't speak, and didn't know whether she was scared or moved, Bingruo was very anxious in her heart: "What the hell is going on down there? Don't cry!"

"Uh......h I don't know, it's biting my calf...... It hurts......"

A gust of night breeze hit, the cool breeze blew so that everyone regained a trace of sanity, everyone discussed to stay calm, store physical strength, and persist until sunrise and then call for help together, at that time there may be people who go up the mountain to hear, or the Yuanji Dao chief can be heard when he wakes up.

Bingruo still grabbed Yan Hong'er, although she was also scared, but she knew that even if she let go, she would only let Yan Hong'er die early for a while, and she would die late for a while, and she would not be able to accumulate yin virtue, and if she dragged him, the two of them would try to hold on for as much time as possible, and when they shouted for help at dawn, they could also have more voices, just now she listened to Yan Hong'er's shout, and the little duckling's voice was still quite penetrating.

As time passed, the seven husks slowly descended, mud crawling over their waists, chests, and shoulders...... The horses are also losing sight from the neck down......

The moment the sun first rose, the four of them began to desperately call for help in unison, but no one came. The mud climbed up the horse's neck, and the horse began to scream, causing the four of them to be even more frightened.

"Bingruo, answer me, in the next life, are you allowed?" Luo Feng took a deep breath, looked at Bingruo with mist in his eyes, and asked with a smile.

Bingruo had no intention of thinking about the answer to this question, and her heart was beating violently because of the fear of impending death: "What the hell is the afterlife, I don't want it, I just want this life, I don't want to die!"

Xia Xian held back his tears silently, some words he couldn't say until he was dying, who knows how sad he is now?!

......

When Yuanji found them, it was already three poles in the sun, and the mud was about to climb on their faces. At that time, their eyes were empty and desperate, as if they were waiting for death.

With a flick of the dust, the Taoist pulled the seven unlucky ghosts out of the swamp one by one and threw them to the side of the grass. Yan Hong'er still has a lot of small tooth marks on his calves, maybe a group of naughty loaches pulled him underneath.

Everyone was stunned by the great joy after the great sorrow, but Xia Xian was the first to come to his senses, and his aggrieved eyes stared at Yuanji and said, "You...... Can't you just get up early?!"

......

Several people have experienced life and death together, and no one can care about any jade seals, but when they broke up, Yan Hong'er said to Bingruo: "The jade seal that person gave me has been appraised by Daoist Yuanji, and it is true." But I was sent back to the snowy ice field a year ago, and I will be waiting for you there. ”

"Then why don't you come with us?" Luo Feng asked.

"You guys are too slow, I have a shortcut, but you can't take that road, there will be a period later!" With that, Yan Hong'er smiled at Bing Ruo Ran again and ran towards the north.

If they didn't continue to chase, the three of them thanked the Yuanji Daoist, rode their respective horses and galloped back to the folk inn, found the other five people who were traveling with them, explained the situation, and set off for the north on the same day.

Eight people and eight horses passed by the Xu family's calligraphy and painting shop, Bing Ruosao saw that there was a woman in the store talking and laughing with the painting buyers in front of the counter, and when she looked at it, it was Pei Xiuting.

Xiao Fengnian also saw it, and hurriedly got off the horse and went to the store to say goodbye to her, while the others stayed on the horse and waited at the door of the Xu family's calligraphy and painting shop.

After a while, Xu Zishan took the picture scroll in his hand, stepped out of the shop, walked towards Bingruo and his party, stopped in front of Bingruoma, and smiled: "Xu Mou has been instructed by the girl, and Daigo has redeemed Miss Pei from Chunxiang Building, and the money earned by the Xu family's calligraphy and painting shop in the future will be half of Miss Pei." ”

Bingruo's heart warmed, and he smiled back: "Xu Gongzi acts like this, Bingruo admires it." ”

Xu Zishan handed the scroll in his hand to Bingruo and said: "Please also ask the girl to accept it, although it is soaked in water and the ink is a little pasty, but after all, it is something that Xu has already sent......

Although Bingruo felt that it was a bit cumbersome to carry this thing, she still accepted it politely. Tying the scroll to Yueshuang's back, Bingruo dismounted and bowed to Xu Zishan and said, "Thank you Xu Gongzi, Bingruo wishes Xu Gongzi a prosperous business!"

After Xiao Fengnian came out, the eight of them gathered to say goodbye to Pei Xiuting and Xu Zishan again, and then greeted the warm breeze and rode their horses and whips north.
