Scars on the neck

When Yu Siqi woke up, he found that the carriage he was riding in was still moving forward.

But at this time, apart from himself, only the old man was left in the carriage. The position where I used to sit on the Nian Zhishang was empty.

seemed to notice that Yu Siqi woke up, and the old man asked him, "How do you feel, little brother?" ”

"It's okay."

Yu Siqi sat up straight and found that everything was fine except for a little stiffness in his neck.

"That's good. After all, if something happens to you, then our trip will be a bit wasted. ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Nian Zhishang?"

Yu Siqi asked subconsciously.

"He should have gone out to maintain discipline in the troops." The old man stared at Yu Siqi unabashedly for a while, which made the latter feel a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"No, no, no, nothing."

The old man flatly denied Yu Siqi's assumption.

"Really? Don't lie to me. ”

Yu Siqi noticed that the old man had something to hide from him, which made him quite concerned.

"Of course, why would the old man lie to you!"

The old man had an expression of 'you have to believe me'.

Seriously, if it weren't for the luck in his eyes that betrayed him while he was bricking.

I can't tell you that Yu Siqi was really deceived by his realistic acting skills!

"Do you dare to swear to God?"

Yu Siqi's persistence made the old man more helpless than surprised.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said with an aggrieved face: "It's not that the little old man wants to lie to you, little brother." It's really past the three chapters of the Dharma with Lord Nian before, so it's inconvenient to reveal more to you. ”

"My business, what are you doing with him in the third chapter of the law?"

Yu Siqi asked in wonder.

was asked by Yu Siqi, and the old man began to be a little speechless. He turned around slowly and said, "Okay, while the adult is away, the little old man will secretly talk to you."

Where do you start?

Yes, let's start the moment the little brother drank the 'Night Spring'. ”

"I'm tired."

Yu Siqi showed a grateful look, and the old man nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Not long after the little brother drank the 'Night Spring', some 'ill-intentioned' followers began to appear one after another near our team. Not only are they agile, but they are also very well trained. In less than half a day, it was already not far from the rear of the convoy, forming a force that should not be underestimated.

According to Nian-sama's speculation, these people should all be from the 'Evil Tribe'. They are very sensitive to outsiders entering their territory, so they will continue to send people to investigate.

As for why they didn't come forward to stop the carriage and horses directly, I am afraid it was related to the lack of manpower at that time. ”

"And then?"

Yu Siqi asked with a concerned face.

"Then another day or so passed, and we weren't much away from the Evillands. At this time, they finally launched a tentative attack on the convoy.

Although under the hard work of Lord Nian, they were not able to successfully take all of us.

But to be honest, our side still has a bit of a loss.

A team of hundreds of people, just one round against each other, left double digits.

And then we had a breakout for a while.

Eventually, before the number of people shrunk to single digits, he rushed to the 'Territory of Fury' and successfully got rid of them.

If the old man remembers correctly, we are now almost through the Realm of Wrath and have reached the last of the Realm of Terror that may be dangerous. ”

The old man's description touched Yu Siqi a little. It was hard for him to imagine that these people who had nothing to do with him would work so hard for themselves.

"Hearing you say that, I feel like I owe a lot of favors!"

As soon as Yu Siqi finished speaking, he found that the carriage door was opened. Then Nian Zhishang faded into smoke and floated to his previous position, condensing and forming.

After finishing the matter, he still looked at the old man very dissatisfied and said, "It seems that you have forgotten the two things I told you before!" ”

Nian Zhishang's words made the old man show a little shame.

Seeing this situation, Yu Siqi felt that it was necessary for him to stand up and 'break the siege' for him.

So he hurriedly asked Nian Zhishang: "What are the two things?" ”

"First, I made an agreement with the old gentleman not to reveal too many details to you before passing through the last 'danger zone', which he didn't do.

Second, I made an appointment with the old gentleman. As soon as you wake up, notify you immediately. He, still hasn't done it. ”

Nian Zhishang stretched out two fingers and gave a corresponding explanation.

"You can't blame him entirely, I forced the old gentleman to tell me."

In order to help the old man, Yu Siqi simply counted the reasons for these things as himself.

This time, Nian Zhishang was convinced by him.

"Well, since you've said so. Then I decided not to blame the past and no longer embarrass the old man. ”

Nian Zhishang sighed helplessly, 'Hey'.

"Master Xie."

The old man was very satisfied with this result.

"Don't thank me yet. Thank you so much for this new friend! After all, if it weren't for him, it's hard to say whether you would be able to live now. ”

Nian Zhishang's casual words aroused Yu Siqi's curiosity.

"Haven't I been sleeping? How can I hear you say that, as if I have made a difference. ”

Yu Siqi asked him with incomprehensible confusion.

"Why, didn't the old gentleman tell you the truth? This is a bit of a surprise! Nian Zhishang glanced at the old man, who muttered: "The old man has already told everything he knows." The rest don't know, what do you let the little old man say. ”

"Oh... That's right, too. It was true that the old gentleman was not near the carriage at that time, and it was normal that he did not notice this incident. However, when I continued on the road, didn't I mention it to the old gentleman? ”

Nian Zhi Shang

"Lord Nian only mentioned that 'the little brother is very special, let the old man take care of him when you can't take care of it.'" But I haven't said anything else about the old decay. ”

The old man had a bitter face and cried out for himself.

"So, is it a mess? Well, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know. Nian Zhishang leaned back in his chair, put his elbow on the edge of the window, turned his head slightly, looked at the unchanged scenery outside the window, and said, "Do you remember when we were in a bitter battle before, old man?" ”

"It's still fresh in my memory, my lord. Those 'evil tribesmen' are really hard to deal with. No wonder people always say, 'If you want to die, go to the Evil Lands.'" Promise that after you go, someone will be willing to make your little request'. ”

The old man's face changed so quickly, and he still had a bitter gourd face on his front feet, and now he was already ridiculing others with a spring breeze.

"They have an absolute advantage in numbers. To put it bluntly, life is a lifetime. How many people dare to say that they are completely wiped out from birth to death? Whether it is unintentional evil or intentional creation of evil. Both of these will continue to breed in the human race, in this group.

Even those of us who evolved from humans to the people of the night naturally can't escape such rules. ”

Nian Zhishang waved his hand outside, and the carriage began to speed up as he made a gesture.

"Don't tell me anything, let's get straight to the point."

Yu Siqi urged a little impatiently. A large part of the reason why he is so 'impatient' is that at this moment, he is somewhat concerned about 'what is going on'.

"Actually, the old gentleman has told you all about it. The only part was a part of the details that he didn't notice, and he saw part of the content because of the relative proximity to the carriage. ”

Nian Zhishang retracted his gaze, moved it to Yu Siqi, and said: "At that time, because of the melee, the people who were sent to protect the carriage had basically reached the point of 'taking care of themselves'.

So I had to try to get to the side of the carriage by myself.

However, what I didn't expect was that those 'evil tribes' were still much faster than those below.

They've pried open the car door and are already trying to do something about you while you're still asleep. ’”

After a short pause, Yu Siqi was somewhat dissatisfied with Nian Zhishang's practice of selling Guanzi at a critical time.

But then he understood the other party's intentions, and it turned out that he was trying to make a little dramatic effect.

"Didn't you wake up and notice the injuries on your body?"

Nian Zhishang pointed to Yu Siqi's right neck and asked.

"What injury?"

Yu Siqi was confused by his question. He subconsciously put his hand behind his ear and touched it. What used to be smooth skin now feels a little rubbing to the touch, as if you're touching 'sandpaper'.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Siqi reacted.

Isn't that what happens when a wound scabs over? Could it be said? ’

As soon as Yu Siqi had such an idea, he saw Nian Zhishang hand over a mirror.

With the help of this small mirror, Yu Siqi saw clearly that near his neck, there were several blood scabs that were not thick or fine. It looks like a 'centipede' attached to the back of his neck, and it's weird and scary.

Seeing this, Yu Siqi finally understood why the old man had to keep staring at him before.

To put it bluntly, if anyone sees a big living person slashed in the neck a few times, it's okay, it's hard not to let others think about it.

"Seriously, bet on it. Those 'evil tribesmen' must have thought they had succeeded, so they took the initiative to leave. But they didn't know that the wound they had caused was not fatal at all. ”

Although Nian Zhishang's words sounded a little relieved to Yu Siqi, Yu Siqi's side was still shocked by such a fact.

'You've saved me again!' ’

He glanced down at the ring in his hand and thought silently.
