Chapter 3: Encounter with the Living Hades
Five days later, the doctor finished collecting the herbs, and the two walked down the mountain. I didn't feel it on the mountain, but I realized it when I went down the mountain, this Fuyun Mountain is not ordinarily high, and it deserves the word Fuyun. The two of them did not go to the top of the mountain to collect medicine, but it took a full day to descend the mountain, except that the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, but the mountain was too high. When the two arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark, they came to a small village with torches, borrowed a night at the villager's house, and asked Murong Shuxiang for a piece of clothing full of patches, and the two left before dawn the next day.
Because the village was small, there were no horse-drawn carts, only ox carts that went into the city to catch the market. The ox cart had been walking for about two hours, and it was nearly dawn before it reached the nearest town. The town is not big, but it has everything, and the two of them looked a little embarrassed to collect medicine in the mountains in the past two days, so they decided to rest in the town for one night and leave the next day.
I bought a change of clothes, found an inn, had a decent meal, took a hot shower, and it was almost noon when everything was cleaned up. The town's market had long since dispersed, the crowds had left, and the town, which had been bustling with activity in the morning, seemed a little deserted.
Murong Shuxiang was about to go out for a walk, but as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a group of people entering the inn and chartering the remaining rooms of the inn. Among them, a man with a sallow face was carried on his back and followed Xiao Er to the upper room.
Murong Shuxiang paused for a moment and walked towards the door, and when he passed the counter, he heard someone ask the shopkeeper where there was a doctor in the town, as if someone was unaccustomed. Doctor? The doctor is not a doctor, and it should be no problem to treat the water and soil. So he retracted his feet from the inn and walked towards the man seeking a doctor.
"There's a great doctor in that room." Murong Shuxiang pointed in the direction of the doctor's room and said.
The person looking for a doctor saw that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and said impatiently: "Go away, go away!" My young master is in a hurry! ”
"Is your young master the one who was just carried in?" Murong Shuxiang didn't get angry because of this person's attitude, and leaned close to him and whispered, "I've heard many people call that doctor an old doctor......
"Who?" Before Murong Shuxiang's words were finished, he was interrupted by this person.
"Ahh Brother has heard of it! Murong Shuxiang was a little surprised at first, then put his index finger on his lips and pointed to the doctor's room, "You are businessmen, you have traveled a lot, and you have a wide range of knowledge, if there is a famous doctor there, go quickly, don't delay the patient." ”
This person looked at Murong Shuxiang suspiciously, and Murong Shuxiang didn't say anything more when he saw this, turned around and walked outside the inn, "I'm kind enough to tell you, if you don't believe it, forget it, why don't your young master do anything to me!" ”
It's not that she wants to be a good person, but she is now penniless, and she wants to find a place where she can make money by doing business, but there is only one such place, and making money is a bit risky, so she wants to go with this caravan, as long as she can leave this town safely. Although the old doctor's martial arts are very powerful, it is no problem to take her away, but this will affect the reputation of the old doctor, and she is unwilling to do so.
Murong Shuxiang walked on the streets of the ancient town, looking at the passers-by in ancient costumes and the quaint buildings, her expression was a little trance-like, at this time she really woke up like a dream, and she really felt that this was another world, a place that she was completely unfamiliar with, and alone. Stopped, pedestrians on both sides shuttled, the front is the unpredictable future, the back is the inseparable past, she has no hope of going home, going to Tianyin Temple is just a dying struggle, a kind of self-deception of hope.
The sound of horses' hooves, from far and near, the two horses came straight to Murong Shuxiang, and it was too late for Murong Shuxiang to come back to his senses and want to hide. The man on horseback had no intention of stopping, and did not mind that the person in front of him might die under his horse's hooves.
Murong Shuxiang was startled at first, but instantly calmed down, his hands moved slightly, and before he could make a move, the whole person flew up.
The horse galloped under his feet, and the rider cursed in his mouth, I don't know if it was because Murong Shuxiang was blocking his way, or because he didn't bump into Murong Shuxiang, he couldn't find excitement and happiness.
"Ahh After a while, Murong Shuxiang was thrown to the ground without pity, and almost fell apart, I really don't know if this person wants to save her or hurt her. I endured the pain and climbed up, only to find that this was an alley. The alley is deep and I don't know where it leads, and the mouth of the alley is ......
Murong Shuxiang couldn't help but shudder, subconsciously took a step back, and looked vigilantly at the black-clothed man at the entrance of the alley with loose hair, evil appearance, and a cold aura all over his body.
Murong Shuxiang tried his best to control his trembling body, tried his best to speak fluently, and said like the ancients: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me!" ”
The evil man leaned against the wall, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at Murong Shuxiang playfully. It was very uncomfortable to be stared at by such a person, Murong Shuxiang restrained the discomfort, looked at the man, and did not dare to make the slightest movement.
"Hah! She's still a smart little girl, interesting! With that, he flew away and disappeared without a trace.
Murong Shuxiang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the evil man who had just been relieved was halfway back, and appeared beside her, whispering close to her ear: "The deity is called Yin Qianyi, remember!" "Then I left again.
Murong Shuxiang held back a breath that was about to be relieved, and after waiting for a while, he felt that Yin Qianyi should really leave this time, so he spit out this half-relieved breath. At this time, she was already covered in cold sweat, and fell to the ground weakly.
What a terrible man! Why did you save her, and took away the porcelain vase in her hand. Yin Qianyi...... Who is it?
Although Yin Qianyi left, he didn't go far, hiding in a certain tree to watch Murong Shuxiang's situation, and playing with the porcelain bottle that was "confiscated" in his hand.
With poison! It's not bad, but I don't know how effective this poison is? If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have had the spare time to save this little girl, but now it seems that there is still an unexpected gain. And voila! Didn't you get up in a moment! And the bright eyes are heartwarming, he Yin Qianyi fell in love with this little girl, and he had to make sure that she was alive before losing interest.
Yin Qianyi's kung fu for a while was half an hour long for Murong Shuxiang, and after half an hour, Murong Shuxiang felt that he had regained some strength, stood up against the wall, and walked out of the alley. When I got out of the alley and looked at the pedestrians outside, I was sure that I was alive. Just lost her mind, almost died under the horse's hooves, was rescued, but met a dangerous person, and she did not have the slightest ability to protect herself, although she was unwilling but helpless.
An intermittent shouting came, very familiar, Murong Shuxiang listened attentively, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, this was exactly the place she was looking for!
