The night clouds are deep, and the water is clear.

The river is 30 zhang wide, and the long flow leads from north to south.

Liyu River is the main road outside Shuiyun Town, it is said that a hundred years ago there was a huge red carp was caught by the fisherman's net, very spiritual, actually weep to people, the fisherman can't bear to put it back in the river, since then Shuiyun Town has the wind and rain smooth, no flood for a hundred years, so that the people here not only live and work in peace and contentment, but also make it convenient for travelers from north to south, and now it is one of the most important waterways in Yanzhou City.

No one knows whether the legend is true or false, but at this moment there are indeed seven boats sailing in array on the river, like fish and dragons.

Seven boats, fifty-one people, one open the road, one guarded the rear, and four occupied the south, south, north, and west, and were connected to each other by hooks and locks, and surrounded the most central one.

Counting the bloody cuckoos who listened to the order, there were a total of forty-eight killers in the Shocking Wind Pavilion, and this time in order to take the exclusive credit of Fu Yuanyu, Yan Quan took them all out, and now there are only thirty-four people left, it can be said that there is no heartache, but there is no regret.

As long as Fu Yuanyu is caught, let alone fourteen lives, even one hundred and forty are worth it.

After all, Lu Wugui is the elder of the Mending Heaven Sect, after assisting Tingyu Pavilion to take down Fu Yuanyu, his mission is also over, this person has always been knowledgeable and interesting, knowing that the more he goes on, the more involved he is, and he is unwilling to set himself on fire, so he accompanied Yan Quan and the others to Shuiyun Town and then took his leave, leaving only fourteen Demon Sect disciples who were well versed in water to escort them all the way.

Interestingly, these fourteen Demon Sect disciples are all mute, the weakness and benevolence of human nature have been tempered clean, even if they stand in front of them, they are as lifeless as the walking dead, and their martial arts are only higher than the manpower lost by the Shocking Wind Pavilion this time, just to make up for the shortcomings.

After Rao is Yan Quan found out this, he couldn't help but praise this shrunken turtle Although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he acted cautiously and carefully.

At this time, Xue Hongbi was wriggling on the board like a bug.

Yan Quan gathered all the people and went north from the waterway overnight, Fu Yuanyu was poured a large amount of anesthetic and soft tendons and scattered on the central boat, guarded by him inch by inch, there were six top killers led by Du Sanniang on the boat, if he really encountered unsolvable trouble, he would rather kill Fu Yuanyu than let people escape.

In contrast, Xue Hongbi's guards were much more lax.

Although he personally broke the neck of a female killer, it was a surprise advantage, and any killer on this ship could easily pinch him to death when he was serious, and took a soaked cow tendon rope to tie his hands behind his back, and his feet were also tied together, and he was gagged and blindfolded and thrown in the corner of the cabin, watched by a killer.

Xue Hongbi had been lying on the ground and listening for a while, but unfortunately the sound of water interfered with his discrimination, so he thought about it and began to writhe restlessly, and finally stood up tremblingly against the bulkhead, and a scolding sounded in his ears: "Lie back, don't move!" ”

He didn't listen, and continued to move a few times, and actually touched a table, and then there was a strong force from his back, and the killer saw him kicking restlessly, Xue Hongbi's face turned pale with pain, but he still remembered to fine-tune his posture, and even the person fell down with the table, and the kettle and porcelain bowl on the table were also smashed, fortunately, the lights on the ship were hanging on the bulkhead, otherwise there would be a fire this time.

This movement was not small, the killer kicked him a few more times, and the three people guarding the deck also came in to check, and saw that Xue Hongbi was kicked and curled up, and could only let out a weak whimper, and hurriedly stopped: "Lightly attack, don't let him die first!" ”

After kicking a few times, the killer also vented his anger in the past two days, waved his hand to signal the others to return to their posts, cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces themselves, dragged Xue Hongbi back to his place, and sat down cross-legged again.

Xue Hongbi deliberately lured him to kick, but it seemed that he had suffered a crime, but in fact it was just some flesh wounds, and now he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and made sure that there was only one guard left in the cabin, so he began to "hum".

The killer was disturbed by him, and he didn't want to deal with it, but he couldn't stand the voice that was as small as a mosquito, but it seemed painful and unbearable, and then it was intermittent, and his voice gradually weakened.

He stood up and saw Xue Hongbi curled up in the corner, with a small cut on his body that had been cut by broken porcelain, looking extremely uncomfortable.

The killer also knew that he was a little ruthless just now, because Fu Yuanyu killed his fourteen colleagues, he couldn't take revenge on the old devil, so he could only vent his anger on this half-grown child, seeing Xue Hongbi like this in front of him, he "chuckled" in his heart, worried that he would really kick the child out of a bad way, and he couldn't explain it to Yan Quan and Du Sanniang.

Thinking of Yan Quan's methods, the killer felt a chill, and hurriedly leaned over to check Xue Hongbi's injuries, and found that those wounds were all minor injuries, I am afraid that the problem was still at his feet, at that time, the kicks were all waist, back, chest and abdomen, with force and skill, it was not visible on the surface, and the pain was inside.

"Little ghost, where does it hurt?" The killer asked in a low voice as he removed the strip of cloth that strangled his mouth.

Xue Hongbi was covered in cold sweat, her face was pale, and her lips trembled a few times before she could open.

The killer saw that he had been curled up, speculating that it had hurt his chest and abdomen, so he helped him sit up, tore open his shirt and looked at it, and found the wound medicine he was carrying on his body to apply to him.

A little stinging pain appeared in his throat, and before the killer could react, the scorpion-tail-like pain point suddenly lengthened and tore, and blood splattered on the young man's pale face.

The killer's eyes widened, and there was an intoned hoarse sound in his throat, but he couldn't scream, he grabbed Xue Hongbi's neck with his spasmodic fingers, but unfortunately he didn't wait to crush it hard, and the last trace of strength also dissipated with the loss of blood.

Xue Hongbi spat out the bloodstained porcelain in his mouth, and rushed down before the killer fell to the ground, preventing the sound from attracting the guards outside again, and the corpse pressed on his body was dead and heavy, still with the residual warmth of blood, but he didn't feel disgusted or frightened.

In the case of being unable to see and having his hands and feet tied, it is not dangerous to do this, but fortunately, Xue Hongbi took the opportunity to fall to the ground and reluctantly rolled this piece of broken porcelain with the tip of his tongue and hid it in his mouth, it was only the size of a fingernail, and he almost swallowed it several times, cutting his mouth to blood, so he couldn't open his mouth just now, otherwise he would be exposed when he saw blood.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Xue Hongbi slowly rolled away from under the corpse, groped his way to a stool and sat down, took a deep breath, and squeezed his hands tightly tied behind his back, only to hear an inaudible muffled sound, he ruthlessly pressed his left little finger to the palm of his hand, and dislocated his life.

The originally tightly tied knot finally had a little gap, Xue Hongbi quickly untied the rope, took off the blindfold, and looked around while rubbing his little finger - the cabin was locked from the outside, there was a window on the right side, listening to the movement just now, there were three people guarding the front and rear of the cabin, no matter which way he went, it was a dead end.

Outside, there was the sound of oars paddling through the water, accompanied by the sound of insects, and it was thought to be a night boat.

Xue Hongbi knew that he was two pounds, and he never thought that he could rescue Fu Yuanyu with his three-legged cat kung fu, that old demon made Yan Quan and the others jealous, even if he became a prisoner, he would not dare to despise it at all, if it wasn't for the fact that he fell into the hands of the enemy, the outcome was unknown.

Therefore, Xue Hongbi didn't think about saving Fu Yuanyu, as long as he successfully saved himself and told the other party in time, he had escaped safely.

Having made up his mind, Xue Hongbi searched out a dagger from the corpse, searched around the cabin, tied the handle of the knife with a thin thread, wrapped the other end around the palm of his hand, and then dragged the coat off and covered it on a heavy ** bag, walked to the window to look at it for a while, picked up the dagger and carefully unloaded the two wooden strips, and then used all his strength to smash the ** bag hard.

Although this wooden boat does not cut corners, the position of the window is already weak, Xue Hongbi smashed it with all his strength and hit a calf, the ** bag full of beans suddenly broke out of the window, and the guards on the front and rear decks turned back at the same time, and only had time to catch a glimpse, it fell into the river, splashing the boss!

"That little imp dived!" A guard's face changed slightly, and he quickly greeted his companions, and the two figures in the stern of the boat immediately jumped down, and he himself kicked open the hatch, the smell of blood came to his face, and the dead body was facing up, except for Xue Hongbi's shadow.

Without waiting for him to abuse, he suddenly felt that the top of his head was wrong, and immediately dodged sideways, but he didn't expect that a large piece of grass and wood ash fell down, and he lost his eyes for a moment, and then his neck was strangled by a force, and his body was unbalanced and fell down, and before he could struggle to get up, he was stabbed in the chest.

Everything happened in the light of light, the two guards on the bow deck shouted warning while drawing knives to kill, Xue Hongbi did not dare to attack them head-on, rolled and crawled to the ground to dodge two knives, and jumped on the top of the ship.

At this time, the situation here had already alarmed the other six boats, and by the light of the lantern, Xue Hongbi had already seen someone bending his bow and arrows, he didn't care much, and shouted loudly: "Father-in-law, go!" ”

Before the words fell, the arrow broke through the air, Rao is Xue Hongbi subconsciously dodged and was also shot in the left shoulder by this arrow, and the whole person was also taken by the strength to fall off the boat, and he was about to fall into the water and be caught, he shot the dagger to the shore suddenly, and it was also lucky, it was inserted into a big tree with a crooked neck, and the thin rope tied to the handle of the knife was suddenly stretched and straightened, so that he flew to the shore with strength and fell heavily on the beach.

In order to escort Fu Yuanyu, Yan Quan's subordinates had already been fully dispatched, and at this time the shore was empty, Xue Hongbi stumbled into the reeds, and the arrow wound in his shoulder made his eyes black, and there were killers chasing after him, and it was really difficult to escape.

Finally, he managed to escape from the reeds, and was about to burrow into a small forest with complicated terrain, when a black shadow swept over his head like a bird, and landed right in front of him.

Du Sanniang was dressed in red and was as fierce as fire, her long hair was coiled into a neat high bun, revealing her beauty as sharp as a blade, at this time holding a long knife in one hand, raising her eyes to look at him, and snorting: "Little rabbit cub, I have some ability, but ...... That's it. ”

As her words fell, four black shadows followed, surrounding Xue Hongbi.

The last way to survive was blocked, Xue Hongbi knew that he couldn't escape, fortunately, he had already thought about failure, and he didn't go crazy at this time, just looked up at Du Sanniang, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I won't go back with you, you can kill me." ”

If he can't escape, then he will die here, without his burden, Fu Yuanyu doesn't have to cast a mouse trap.

Du Sanniang knew his thoughts, and mocked: "How old are you to know how to sacrifice your life for righteousness?" Or is it true that in your heart, your own life is really worthless? ”

"I don't understand sacrificing my life for righteousness, and I don't want to die if I can live." Blood seeped out from between his fingers, and Xue Hongbi barely squeezed out a smile, "However, I'd rather be a dead person than a living ghost!" ”

- Cuckoo, being a human is not the same as being a ghost, I would like to be a short-lived person for ten lifetimes, and I should not stay as a ghost.

The two completely different voices spanned sixteen years and overlapped into one in Du Sanniang's ears, she looked at Xue Hongbi in front of her, who was not yet her shoulder high, and suddenly saw the woman who stretched out her hand to her.

Bai Li once said to her, let's go back to the world together.

At that time, she did not hold that hand, her heart was full of anger and hatred of betrayal, and she pulled out her knife and left a wound on the palm of the white pear.

Later, she went to collect the body of Bai Pear many years later, and saw this familiar scar in the green and cold palm, which should have healed as before, but she didn't know why Bai Pear left it, but she only remembered that moment, she was unconscious and tears rained down.

How ridiculous, the white pear that turned into a man died, but the cuckoo, who was a demon, came back to life on the same day.

This is what the cuckoo hates about Bai Pear the most, she makes a ghost have a human heart, knows how cold her blood is, and how dirty her hands are.

Du Sanniang smiled suddenly, laughed out of tears, then closed her eyes and bowed her head gently.

The four killers were ordered, and the four knives were unsheathed at the same time and slashed at Xue Hongbi, the knife was as fast as a thunderbolt, and the next moment it would be able to dismantle him in eight pieces!

However, the fifth knife came first, like a flying bird, like a butterfly wing, blocking the top of Xue Hongbi's head at the moment of life and death, the blade trembled slightly, tactfully moved, the four knives were shaken open at the same time, and the four hands holding the knife were also shocked numb!

How fast and ruthless is the bloody cuckoo's knife?

Du Sanniang's figure spread out in the wind like a spirit bird, swept under the four knives, and landed behind one of them in the blink of an eye.

Before the person could breathe, the blood flowers flew up from the blade, and the red beads had not yet fallen to the ground, she grabbed a person's shoulders again, turned her feet, and used this person to block a knife for herself, and at the same time stabbed backhand, and the long knife pierced through the waist and abdomen of the two people!

In the blink of an eye, only one of the four killers remained, and he took out the fireworks from his arms and was about to light it, but unfortunately before the lead was pulled, his arm rose into the air, Du Sanniang bullied behind him, clasped his throat with one hand, and pinched his blood-stained fingers hard, and the head was crooked and soft.

Xue Hongbiqiang's pretended calmness was completely shattered, he watched in amazement as Du Sanniang walked towards him, and when the bloody hand approached, he couldn't help but shudder.

However, the hand only scraped the tip of his nose, as light as a little water, and it was gone with a touch.

"Let's go." Du Sanniang pointed to the woods in front of her, "Passing through here, there is a town fifty miles west of the epidemic that is plagued, you buy water and food and mix it into it to find a place to hide, don't contact people and don't rush to go, wait for Fu Lao Mo to catch up, with him to protect your little life, it is always not easy to die." ”

Xue Hongbi looked at her in a daze: "You ......"

"This is the last time." The corners of Du Sanniang's lips raised slightly, "I'm not your mother, and you're not my son, I have been deliberately deceiving you for the past twelve years, and now it's clear to let you live...... Since you are determined to go to the rivers and lakes, I will fulfill you, and it depends on you how far you can go in the future and what kind of person you live like a dog, so you can do it yourself. ”

After that, she tore off Xue Hongbi's dirty and tattered middle coat, cut off her head and wrapped it inside, and walked towards the way she came without looking back.

The night breeze was cold to the bone, Xue Hongbi looked at her back as she walked away, her nose suddenly became sore, and tears came out of her eyes.

At that moment, he mustered all his courage to open his mouth and call her again, but the howling cold wind blocked his mouth and dried the tears on his face, and finally gasped for that breath, Du Sanniang's shadow had long disappeared into the wilderness night, and only a string of winding red footprints remained on the muddy road mixed with countless rotten leaves, one after another, like a flower blooming in the rotten soil.
