Chapter 13: The Puppet

In spring and summer, the bright sun shines on everything, and the earth is full of life. The gentle wind blows slowly on the body, making people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Wu rode his horse and walked on the way to the nearest city to North Wind City, North Forest City.

There were no carriages, no servants, only a medium-sized horse that had been searched for a long time in the city of the North Wind and could barely travel five hundred miles a day.

Good horses are hard to find, and Bole is even harder to find.

Lin Wu didn't have any eyes for horses, but he also knew that the good horses at the post station had already been bought, and there were some old, weak, sick and crippled skinny horses left.

This kind of horse runs...... Not to mention whether he can run fast or not, I'm afraid it will carry you harder than you carry him.

"As a result, I had to pay twice the price to find such a thing......

Don't look at the variegated horse in front of you, it doesn't look good...... In fact, it is really as ordinary as it looks.

But this is already the best that the North Wind City Station can find. Good horses need to eat high-quality grain and grass, and the low grain production in North Wind City is a place where people are poorly eaten...... No one can have enough to eat, let alone a horse.

"When the Lin family has built the grain, maybe the North Wind City will be able to raise thousands of miles of good horses."

Lin Wu smoothed the sideburns of the variegated horse in front of him, took another handful of water, and washed his face.

The water in the creek is quite comfortable to wash your face in this weather, and if it is hotter, it will be more comfortable to go down and swim around.

In the bathroom, Lin Wu only felt that his head sank, and the whole person lost his balance and fell into the water.

The crisp laughter like a silver bell entered his ears, and as the sky swirled, Lin Wu struggled to get up and spit out a large mouthful of water.

"Who... Who is so boring. ”

Lin Wu knew that he was being tricked, but there was no one around, and how keen his senses were...... How did he knock himself over without realizing it?

Could it be some kind of witchcraft that can't be done......

Lin Yan in the spiritual position scolded secretly, stinky boy, how can there be any witchcraft! Didn't you add fifteen points, why is it still not very smart?

The giggling chuckle sounded again, "Silly big man, I see that you are so dark and covered in mud, and I am kind enough to help you go down and take a bath, how can you say that I am bored." ”

Lin Wu wiped a handful of water from his face, followed the sound, and looked at it.

Didn't see anything.

"Aunt... Girl, the water in our well does not interfere with the river water, and if you play tricks on you for no reason, I will think you are naughty and naughty. But first you call me stupid, and then you say I'm covered in mud......"

Lin Wu gritted his teeth and said a little angrily: "I may just not be born so white." I have been in the sun all day long, so I have such wheat-colored skin, how did it turn black? ”

It seemed that Lin Wu's tone was a little heavy, and the other party didn't make a sound. Lin Wu is not stupid now, and he heard that the other party was a young girl.

Naturally, he knew that there was no sorcery. The other party has such means, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Grandpa specially instructed himself to remember to be cautious when going out.

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

Lin Wu got up from the water, shook the water on his body, and said unhappily: "I just passed by here, so I'm leaving, and I hope that the girl will raise her noble hand and don't do such a trick in the future." ”

The corners of Lin Yan's mouth, who was watching this scene, twitched, this kid, and his own son...... That is, Lin Wu's father, it is simply carved out of a mold. He is upright and likes to meddle in things.

This sentence is unintentionally talkative, if the other party is a small-bellied person, he may be going to shoot at you.

But to Lin Yan's surprise, Lin Wu just got on the horse and ran away all the way out of the woods, and the other party didn't reply again.

"I don't know if my brother is still in the capital now, what kind of person is Emperor Xuanwei Wuhuang......

Lin Wu was full of thoughts, but before he could come back to his senses, there were two inconspicuous haystacks on both sides of the road that moved slightly, and then two black-clothed men with knives suddenly jumped out, holding knives and about to slash at Lin Wu's head.

The soldiers were coming, and even if it was a sudden attack, Lin Wu's reaction was amazing.

He slapped his horse's back, leaped high, and made a magnificent turn in the air, and the scimitar above his head fell into the air. Then he pulled himself up and stomped heavily on the door of the man in black on his left.

He has been training his body all day long, and he rarely fights, so he seems to be like a fish in water.

The figure and speed of the two black-clothed men were far inferior to Lin Wu, one companion was kicked a few feet away, and the other black-clothed man holding a knife had not seen the situation clearly, and he was also choked by the throat, and the hand holding the knife was clamped tightly, unable to move a bit.

This figure is like a long rainbow through the sun, and it falls steadily on the horse's back in a graceful arc in the air.

Two men in black, in an instant, one was kicked in front of the road, and the other was captured alive, Lin Wu snorted coldly: "Who are you?" I've never had a grudge against anyone, and you're a killer when you meet! ”

Lin Wu saw that the man in black who was grabbed by the throat didn't say a word, and there was no movement at all. It's like grabbing a stake, cold and cold, without temperature.

He couldn't help but be a little curious, and lifted the hood that covered the face of the man in black.

At the moment when the hat was taken off, a pungent smell came, making Lin Wu subconsciously cover his mouth and nose.

As a puff of black smoke rose, Lin Wu was surprised to find that there was not a living human being under the black clothes at all.

"This ...... This ......"

He couldn't help but get off the horse, only to find that the "corpse" on the side of the road was also motionless as the one in his hand.

Lin Wu lifted the corpse's black clothes, and beads of sweat appeared faintly on his forehead.

The scene in front of him can only be described by the words 'scalp tingling'. A corpse that had already decomposed, and the entire body parts were filled with black wooden sticks, these wooden sticks seemed to be made of special materials, and Lin Wu felt that this was not ordinary wood.

The corpse had been disfigured beyond recognition, with only a few rotten flesh and white bones remaining, the main composition of which was this black wood.

"The smell of corpses can be said to be tightly covered, and it only came to my face after opening this 'black clothes', which are also made of special materials......"

Lin Wu recalled the situation just now, jumped up three feet high, and actually raised his knife above his head to slash down, even if he was a normal person, he had not practiced martial arts for decades.

"Could it be that after the death of a martial arts master, someone used some special means to make such a 'corpse', no...... This should not be called a corpse, it should be...... Puppet. ”

Creeps.

Lin Wu didn't dare to be careless, and wrapped the two corpses in black clothes again. Then he dug a shallow pit on both sides of the dirt path and buried the body in it.

Only then did he dare to continue on the road.

As he got closer and closer to Beilin City, the feeling of panic in Lin Wu's heart became heavier and heavier.
