Chapter 28: There's a boat in the middle of the river
After resting breathlessly for a while, the girl who was saved by Su Yan thanked him when his breath stabilized.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace! The little girl is an orphan girl, and if she is harmed by the medicine man, I am afraid that there will be no one to collect the corpse......"
This woman is round and jade, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, natural fair skin, although she is sloppy and her hair is unkempt, it is not difficult to see that she was once a young lady from a large family.
It's a pity to fall so far.
Su Yan looked at the ground: "This eaves are too high, I'm afraid it's more than a foot from the ground, girl, I'll go down first, you will jump down, and I'll take you." ”
After saying that, Su Yan just jumped slightly, and he was already standing firmly on the ground.
Looking at Su Yan, the girl smiled: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”
Su Yan nodded to her in encouragement.
The girl bit her lower lip and plucked up the courage to jump off.
Su Yan really took her properly, and the girl was stunned, and her face turned red.
Su Yan hurriedly put her down and looked at the silent street: "Girl, go back quickly!" It was late at night, and it was not safe to walk alone on the street. ”
Su Yan was about to leave after speaking, but the woman pulled his sleeve and looked at him pitifully: "You and I meet because of fate, son, I am willing to serve you as a slave and a servant, you can take me out of here......"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, very surprised, and then an apologetic smile appeared on his face: "I came out to look for someone, and the person I want to find doesn't know where it is, and it's really inconvenient to take a girl to her house." ”
"I can do anything! Laundry, cooking, making beds and folding quilts......"
"But I've got someone to serve! I really don't want to run around with a girl. Su Yan interrupted the woman's words.
The woman straightened the messy hair on her forehead and wiped her face: "Does the son dislike me for being sloppy?" Actually, I won't embarrass Childe if I clean up a little......"
His eyes were full of confidence.
In fact, this woman is very good-looking, but she has a little more fierce aura that is difficult to hide.
Of course, Su Yan understood what she meant, but she still shook her head decisively: "You are very beautiful." But I'm really anxious to find someone, and I can't say what I'm going to face, so I don't want to have a girl around me and do a lot of inconvenience. ”
Without further ado, Su Yan threw over a large ingot of silver, turned around and left.
"The Emperor...... Huang Gongzi ......"
The woman caught the silver, and suddenly her eyes were hot, so she stopped him, hesitated, and said, "There is a painting boat on the Han River, maybe the person you are looking for is there!" ”
Su Yan was stunned: "Do you know my identity?" ”
The woman quickly shook her head: "No, I don't know anything!" With that, she trotted away in a panic.
She just called Su Yan "Huang Gongzi", obviously she knew Su Yan's identity. There are not many people in Hanhe County who know his identity, that is, Ma County ordered their family......
A thought immediately flashed through Su Yan's mind, as if he already knew who this girl was. A smile appeared on his face, and he walked directly to the Han River that the girl had said.
On the road, Su Yan saw a man and a woman, who seemed to be an old couple, burning paper at the crossroads. Crying while burning, there are words in the mouth.
A gust of wind blew, their hair fluttered in the wind, and they were dressed in gray and white, and under the light of the fire, the images of these two people looked very strange.
The voice that spoke sounded lower and dumber than ordinary people, and it had a few creepy and sad atmospheres.
"The fortune teller said that you would be a big master when you grew up, but I didn't expect you to die before you were 10 years old...... Puppies...... Don't look back on the Huangquan Road, I'm afraid this is your fate......"
"Yes, little dog, everyone knows that you died unjustly, and there are monsters in troubled times, born in this troubled world, you just accept your fate and go on the road well......"
Su Yan couldn't bear to be in a hurry, so he stopped and asked, "Two fellow countrymen, why do you say that there are monsters in troubled times?" ”
The woman looked up, her face pale, and there was a large hole in her neck oozing blood.
His eyes were dead gray, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes: "This son, today's July Halloween Festival, why are you still running around outside so late alone......"
Su Yan was secretly taken aback in his heart, but quickly sorted out his emotions: "I have something to do, so I have to be outside so late." How did your son die, two fellows? ”
The man raised his head, and Su Yan found that half of his face was covered with flesh and blood, as if he had been bitten by something.
The man burst into tears: "My son's name is a puppy, and he is playful by nature. A few nights ago, he sneaked out to play with his friends in the same village, and met two strange people on the road, who bit him indiscriminately. According to my son, the two people were very familiar, and it should have been the villagers who had become like that after being bitten by the medicine man. Their faces are like those of dead people, and their mouths are particularly stinky, but their strength is very great, as if they have attracted a demon, and they bite people when they see them. My son went home after he was bitten, and after two or three days, my son was pale and bitten...... What's even more a pity is that he still choked his breath yesterday morning......"
At this point, the woman began to weep again.
Su Yan already roughly knew what was going on: the son of the old couple was afraid that he had been bitten by the medicine man, and the medicine man had more or less corpse poison on his body, and the child must have died of poisoning.
The wounds on their bodies are simply shocking, and what is even more worrying is that the old couple may also become medicine men......
Su Yan took out a large ingot of silver: Take this money to treat your injuries, don't stay by this river, go back early. ”
The old couple took the money and left with a thousand thanks.
Only then did Su Yan know that those people would not die immediately after being injured by the medicine man. They will also become medicine men, and then continue to go out and hurt people until finally their bodies festered and they died......
If this development continues, won't Hanhe County become a purgatory on earth? Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help frowning.
He hadn't gone far when Su Yan suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind him. After practicing martial arts, after special training, his hearing is much more powerful than ordinary people, and he knows that the other party's walking steps are indeed very heavy, and Su Yan already knows that the person who comes is definitely not an ordinary person.
There was a big tree with lush leaves in front of him, and after thinking about it, Su Yan climbed the tree.
Not long after he went up, he saw two medicine men coming from a distance.
The two men didn't even have an expression, they didn't speak, their eyes were half-narrowed, and they walked forward with a very clear purpose.
Su Yan was on the tree, and they obviously didn't find it.
What the hell are these two medicine men going to do?
The medicine man has already harmed the common people, and as a king, he should love the people like a son, and he really can't sit idly by.
Thinking like this, Su Yan came down from the tree and followed the two medicine men from a distance.
I don't know how far I walked, but through the dense woods, I could vaguely see the lights. It may have been a large house, with red lanterns hanging in a row, which looked a little dazzling in the desolate night.
Continuing to follow the medicine man forward, Su Yan suddenly felt a cool breeze with moisture, and the sound of gurgling water was already heard in his ears. After advancing a few more feet and walking out of the woods, Su Yan realized that the row of red lanterns he had just seen was actually hanging on a very magnificent painting boat.
