Chapter 317 Distress
Mu Churan's original thoughts were the same as Xiao He's, thinking that all the dark arrows had been dodged, and when he saw that arrow shooting, Duan Heng had already rushed out.
……
Xiao He grabbed the arrow behind Duan Heng, and used force in his hand to break the arrow feather behind him, leaving only a piece of arrow left in Duan Heng's shoulder blade.
Looking at Duan Heng's blackened nails, Mu Churan also frowned. "Those swords are poisonous." Mu Churan rummaged through the package for a while, found a small white porcelain bottle, and handed it to Xiao He.
"I'm afraid I can't go out to find a doctor, here is the detoxification pill, let's pull out the arrow." Mu Churan's tone couldn't be calmer anymore, if it weren't for him, Xiao He really didn't know what to do now.
Taking advantage of the spread of the toxicity, Duan Heng's senses have been completely paralyzed, and it is the best time to take out the arrow, fortunately, the injury is in the shoulder blade, and it should not hurt other parts.
Mu Churan saw that Xiao He was already frightened and lost his soul, so he simply did it himself, "You relax a little, I will help you get the arrow." ”
Duan Heng still had a trace of consciousness left, and when he heard Mu Churan's words, he forced himself to relax, Mu Churan opened a cross in his wound, let part of the poisonous blood flow out, and directly picked out the arrow with a short dagger.
"Pour a bowl of water." Mu Churan didn't look back and instructed Xiao He, who was standing there stupidly.
Xiao He was obviously stunned by Mu Churan's level, his movements were smooth, he would even do this kind of thing, Xiao He thought of it, until Mu Churan called himself, he came to his senses and handed over the water he wanted.
Mu Churan rinsed Duan Heng's wound with the water in the bowl, and sprinkled another bottle of medicinal powder on Duan Heng's wound.
The holy medicine of the Western Regions, which can be flesh and bones, has a miraculous effect, Mu Churan has been useless because of the medicine of the plain heart before, and in order to let Xiao He take care of himself for a few more days, this is also the first time he has seen such a miraculous effect, the surrounding of the wound is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, even Mu Churan was taken aback, let alone Xiao He on the side.
Mu Churan quickly adjusted his emotions, poured out a pill of the Detoxification Pill, broke his head and stuffed it directly.
The two of them stayed by Duan Heng's side all night.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Duan Heng woke up.
Obviously, Duan Heng's current physical condition is completely impossible to use internal force, so it is the right way to recuperate, and tonight's actions are destined to be Mu Churan and Xiao He.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was still sitting in the room upright, even compared to last night, there was no change, the only difference was that in front of him, there was a woman in a wedding dress.
Several men with knives barged in without warning, and the two people below did not react at all, they did have their eyes open, but they seemed to have lost their perception of the things around them.
"Oh, old man, well done, the offerings on the altar tomorrow will be ready so soon." The leader directly grabbed the woman and threw her to the minions next to him.
Sacrifice! Xiao He's heart seemed to be shaken by something, and his hand was already tightly pressed on the hilt of the sword, killing them, Xiao He only had this one thought in his heart, these things that regarded human life as a mustard, they really took living people as sacrifices, and killing them might be able to end all this.
"No!" Mu Churan actually stopped Xiao He, who wanted to make a move.
"Let go of me! Do you want to die without salvation? Xiao He had fire in her eyes, did she want to watch the girl in front of her die in front of her like the newcomer before? Before, he didn't have time to react, but this time, he could save the girl by himself, but Mu Churan actually stopped him!
"Xiao He! Listen to me, calm down. Xiao He desperately wanted to break free of Mu Churan's shackles, but Mu Churan couldn't hold Xiao He with one hand, so he simply sealed her acupoint.
Xiao He in front of him couldn't move, but his eyes were still staring at the scene in front of him, obviously he could save her as long as he made a move!
Xiao He closed his eyes helplessly, his eyes were full of despair.
Mu Churan picked up Xiao He and went back to the inn directly.
Xiao He still stared at Mu Churan fiercely, Duan Heng saw that Xiao He was sealed in the acupoint, and hurriedly came over to relieve him of the acupoint, at this time, Xiao He struggled for too long, and he had completely lost his strength and was unable to question Mu Churan again.
"Why? With only two or three people, the two of us can fight perfectly, why! Xiao He's heart was still shocked, "Obviously, I can save her ......"
Duan Heng saw that Xiao He's mood was a little wrong, and reached out to seal Xiao He's acupoint, causing her to fall asleep deeply.
"Young Master," Duan Heng couldn't see anything here from Xiao He, so he had to ask Mu Churan, "Didn't you two go to track the whereabouts of those people?" How did it come to this. ”
Mu Churan's complexion did not change at all, and there was no trace of waves on his face, as if he had nothing to do with himself: "We already know that they have done it again tonight, I sent a letter to Xiao Shunzi to go back to the capital to find Cheng Qianqiu, after so many days, I think his body has also recovered, tomorrow we will go to the county government to take a look, I think, tomorrow we can arrest them!" ”
Xiao He didn't sleep well, he was even more uneasy than killing people with his own hands, and he was as strong as he could, but he only watched from the sidelines, what was the difference between him and those who killed people!
……
Duan Heng's injuries have not healed yet, and he can't go out of the door anymore no matter what, even if Xiao He has more dissatisfaction and resentment, he can only go out with Mu Churan to continue the investigation.
Xiao He ignored Mu Churan all the way, and rushed to the courtyard with his long sword along the way, and before Mu Churan could stop her, she heard the sound of swords clashing.
As soon as Xiao He went up to the courtyard wall, he noticed that there were people around, but it was too late to go out, and there was already a large circle of people around him, holding bows and arrows at him, so he could only jump into the courtyard, draw out his long sword, and fight hard, after all, bows and arrows are useless at close range, rather than being pierced into hedgehogs on the wall, it is better to go down directly.
No way! How could they know their whereabouts, could it be that they had been eyeing themselves since Duan Heng was shot by a hidden arrow? and set up an ambush in the courtyard.
Even if Xiao He's martial arts are good, he can't deal with so many people for a while, after all, his two fists are invincible to his four hands, and after a while, his body has already been painted, and his lilac clothes have been soaked in blood and turned dark purple.
"Who are you! Ever since you entered Yaocheng, you've been bothering us to do things, what are you going to do! Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, the leader simply asked.
"You have no regard for human life, and you have your own harvest!" Xiao He sneered, didn't continue to speak, and rushed directly at the person who spoke with a sword, Mu Churan was about to turn in to help Xiao He, and a few people rushed out of the door to surround Mu Churan, Mu Churan was helpless, pulled out his sword, and fought with a few people around him.
A big net was overwhelming, Xiao He only cared about fighting with the people around him, and he had no time to take care of the big net above his head, so he lost the opportunity and was detained by the other party for such a moment.
It is not easy for Mu Churan outside the door, the space outside the door is large, the other party uses all long weapons, his long sword obviously can't touch the other party at all, the sword in his hand is knocked out by the opponent's spear, and there is no weapon in his hand to resist, it is bound to be taken down.
Xiao He and Mu Churan were tied to the pillar of the altar, just looking at a pair of men and women in wedding clothes sitting in front of the altar, what kind of psychologically distorted person would come up with such a sacrificial method, the law of the Yin Kingdom clearly stipulates that it is not allowed to use living people as sacrificial sacrifices, but these people rely on the high mountain and the emperor to do such a dark and dirty thing in a picturesque place like Jiangnan.
"Today's sacrifice is due to several recent murders in the city, as we all know, four people died violently a few days ago, and the bodies were parked on the street, and then there were several murders, all because of these two people!"
Ignorant people naturally know about the recent murders, and the death of so many people for no reason will inevitably cause panic among everyone.
"It's the two of them who brought misfortune to our Yaocheng, they are two disasters from the sky, so today we will set fire to death, only by burning the disaster stars, our Yaocheng will be safe and secure, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment!"
The man in front of him, whose whole body was covered in black, kept stirring up the hearts of the people, and his subordinates had already piled up withered grass and sprinkled fire oil around Xiao He and Mu Churan.
"Haha," Xiao He laughed out loud for no reason, "You have been on the throne for so many years, everyone calls you the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid it's the first time that someone calls you a disaster star." ”
At this time, Xiao He can still make jokes.
"Dying at the hands of such a cult is probably the most aggrieved emperor in the history of the Yin Kingdom." Thinking of this, Mu Churan was a little helpless.
"Cult?" What kind of cult can make so many people believe so devoutly, "Pray for good weather and good weather?" If they burn the Son of Heaven to death, I'm afraid they will have to pay for their lives! Where did the wind and rain come from? ”
The two chatted, the fire had already burned, Xiao He had been running for many days, and he had fought with so many people in a row, and his physical strength had long been unable to support it, and he was choked by the smoke, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.
The people under the altar were agitated by the people on the altar and kept shouting, "Burn them!" "Burn them!"
The wrist that was tied tightened, Mu Churan was trying to break the rope with his internal force, but found that it was in vain, the rope was soaked in water, even if he had deep internal strength, he really couldn't break free, seeing that Xiao He in front of him was so smoked that he was about to faint, and hurriedly called his name "Xiao He, Xiao He!" A mouthful of smoke inhaled, and he coughed violently twice, "Xiao He, I can't sleep!" Can't close your eyes! ”
