and the long sword raised high, like the Grim Reaper falling on a huge fee, blood splattering in a space, making the already somewhat damp land even more muddy.

"Don't-"

Lin Yue's hysterical cry and the cry of the woman faintly reached Archie's ears became his last memory at that time.

When he woke up again, it was already dark, and Archie struggled to open his blood-stained eyes, take a look around him, and finally freeze on the haystack above his head.

The cold wind blew in gusts, and his somewhat weak body couldn't help but shiver.

Feeling a faint sound of breathing around him, Archie was about to turn his head when he felt the haystack beside him move slightly, and it was the old man who pushed the straw towards him.

"Sir!" Seeing that the old man was still alive, Archie was shocked, but unfortunately as soon as he said the words, he felt a pain in his throat, as if a blade had slashed through his throat.

The old man didn't expect him to wake up, and he was slightly stunned for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you, where is this?" Enduring the pain, Archie asked.

There were countless wonders in his heart, wasn't he dead, and the place he was in now seemed to be different from what he was now.

In the face of his repeated inquiries, the old man obviously swallowed his saliva, and paused for a while before answering.

It turned out that at the moment when Murong Zijin was about to swing his knife and stab Archie, it was the old man who jumped out from behind and blocked the crucial knife.

The tip of the knife was stabbed with a nidal momentum, although there was a slight deviation due to the appearance of the old man, but the long knife still pierced through the old man's chest.

Blood dripped down the blade and fell to the ground, "Click, click." ”

The old man grabbed the long knife with one hand, and with the other hand, he quickly fed something into Archie's mouth, so fast that even Murong Zijin didn't notice it.

The hot blood splashed on Murong Zijin's demonic face, but it couldn't withstand the slightest wave from him.

The old man's "not afraid of death" behavior seems to have just added some fun to killing to him.

……

It wasn't until Murong Zijin's carriage was far away that the old man lying motionless on the ground had a little reaction.

He was stabbed in the chest, and there were several inconspicuous wounds on his body, and the blood was like a faucet that had opened the floodgates, gurgling out.

After the old man got up from the ground with difficulty, he first went to Archie's side to check his pulse, and only then did he feel the beating sound that almost disappeared, and the breath that hung in his heart loosened a little.

This place was originally bloody because of the fighting, as the color has begun to darken today, the old man was afraid that some fierce beasts would be attracted for a while, and originally wanted to drag the two "corpses" to the inn not far away to rest.

Thinking of his current appearance, he was afraid that the inn would not let them in, and in desperation, he saw the straw piled up in the open space, so he dragged the two of them to the straw with great effort.

The dried straw still carries a little warm smell of the day's sun, and it can have a little bit of cold effect when laid under the person.

After the old man dragged the two "corpses" to this hidden place, he almost couldn't hold it anymore, and took out a book from the underwear in the heart position.

Taking out two more cans of medicine from his cuff, the old man endured the pain in his body and the dizziness in his head, and began to treat Archie's wounds.

It is also because of this that Archie did not die directly due to excessive blood loss. every day

Pity...... It was a little late for him to know this.

Archie struggled to his feet and looked at the coachman's body, his face distorted by pain.

"I still, I couldn't save him."

With a sigh, the old man's voice sounded on the side.

Archie's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and a pair of big hands couldn't help but clench into a fist.

The coachman died, and both the imperial concubine and Su Xin were taken away......

Thinking of the scene of the fight just now, Archie couldn't help but feel resentful, he hated Murong Zijin's despicability and shamelessness, and even hated his own lack of ability.

God knows what kind of treatment Lin Yue and Su Xin will suffer after they are taken away.

Just as Archie was so immersed in anger that he almost lost his mind, a soft cough came from behind him to bring him back to his senses.

The old man only coughed slightly at first, but later he coughed more and more, and he couldn't suppress it at all, and Archie only noticed the bloody wound on the old man's chest.

"This is ......" Archie's eyes widened, he didn't expect the old man to be so seriously injured, that ......

"You blocked that sword for me?" Archie asked in a hoarse voice, although he didn't get an answer from the old man, he already had the answer in his heart, "Why did you do this for me......

"How are your injuries now, doctor, there is no doctor here, you are holding on, I will carry you to the front to find the doctor, you hold on!"

Archie said busily, squatting down to resist the old man on his back, but was stopped by a big old hand.

The old man shook his head weakly, he himself is a doctor, and he clearly knows the true condition of his body, he has little time, and if he doesn't say something, it will be too late.

Turning around, he handed Archie a gray-covered book he had hidden under the straw.

The gray cover is full of age, and there are faint traces of blood.

After the old man told Archie, he said, "This is what I, I have learned all my life, and it is also the only culture left of our witch doctor, you...... Give it to the girl for me. Although I can't, I can't go to the capital to help her in person, but, but with this book, maybe it can come in handy. ”

"Old gentleman......" Archie muttered, his eyes reddened.

It's a pity that the old man didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and as soon as the words fell, he stuffed two jars of medicine bottles to Archie, and said, "This is the medicine I keep for my life, and you, you will also transfer it to her on my behalf." ”

Two bottles of medicine bottles, one can of white and the other of ash, although the preservation is quite good, but you can still see the sense of age.

When Archie heard that it was the old man's life-saving medicine, even if he wanted to refuse, the old man had already realized it and pushed it back, "This medicine...... There are only a few in total, and there are the last two left, I have already fed you one, and the rest will be handed over to the girl on my behalf, please. ”

"But ......," Archie couldn't help but cry.

He already sensed that the old man was making a final admonition.

But if he could, he didn't want the old man to die, and he didn't want Lin Yuesuxin to be arrested, everything, he was too incompetent, as a subordinate, he couldn't even protect his master, how could he have the face to go back to see the master......

After the old man finished speaking, he coughed for a long time, until his lips were covered with blood foam, and the wound on his chest showed faint signs of speeding up the bleeding.

He pointed to the gray bottle next to him and said to Archie, "Keep this for yourself, three pills a day, divided into three points." ”
