Chapter Seventy-Six: The Horse is Frightened, and there Are Good Deeds on the Ancient Road (1 More Requests for the First Order, Recommended Votes)
Although the withered thing looks like a piece of foot, like the dried salted fish, but its appearance is enough to reflect the appearance in "The Gods and Ghosts", although it is a phantom soul, it can also be seen eight or nine points, so the Supreme Treasure only recognized the origin of this thing at a glance-
Shuibo River God, Tianwu is also!
Although the Supreme Treasure was surprised that it was weak, he did not hesitate for a moment, but he just shrouded the fishing net in his hand, and put the Tianwu net in it, and he was bound not to escape.
As he approached the blood, the water became more and more intense, and the withered thing became more and more frightened and struggled, like a fish in a net, and tried to escape, but could not ...... Just when the Supreme Treasure felt a little at ease in its heart and began to float towards the water, it suddenly paused, and then rushed towards the Supreme Treasure like lightning!
"It's not good..."The Supreme Treasure saw that the situation was not good, and he almost wanted to pull away, but he felt that his hands and feet were a little weak, and he also had a slight feeling of fainting in his brain, and he couldn't escape at all - he didn't think about it, so he had to wave the short knife in his hand and stab it at the end, trying to defend the monster hard!
These souls have been temporarily materialized by the blood of demons, and they are not incapable of being wounded by the sword.
It's coming so fast!
Just as the Supreme Treasure raised his arm and raised the short knife, Wu had already rushed to the front that day, and at the moment when he was about to stab, suddenly it twisted its waist and flicked its tail, and its whole body flashed out from the blade, and lightning hit the Supreme Treasure's body!
Suddenly, the wound in the abdomen was like a red-hot soldering iron pressed by someone. A heart-rending pain pierced into the depths of his mind like a sharp blade, and he couldn't stop his whole body from curling up, cold sweat burst out, his whole body was numb, and even his ability to think stopped... He couldn't feel the pain anymore!
Vaguely, he only remembered the turbid river and the eyes that were endlessly magnified... The rest is endless darkness!
Supreme Treasure's tired eyelids slowly drooped, and the whole person fell powerlessly in the river water, and couldn't stop falling! Blood trickled from his wound into the water, like a blooming snowflake.
In the depths of the dark river, the Supreme Treasure had fainted. Suddenly, a star of bewitching red light flashed. Then it quickly crawled all over his body, and the tassels flowed and spread all over his body, and then gathered together. Disappeared into his lower abdomen.
The wound is gone. There was a hazy mass of wound in the place. Red and black scars!
Then the whole person began to float slowly onto the water.

October. Official Road.
This official road has been abandoned for a long time. Even the weeds had covered the tracks of the horses' hooves, and the grass was knee-long, and the gravel was everywhere. I don't know how many bones were buried in the woods next to it, but today, there was a dilapidated carriage hurrying here.
The autumn breeze is bleak, even if the sunset after the rain shines on the body, it is only warm, people and horses are very comfortable in this weather, but Liu Xinchen's forehead and sideburns have oozed beads of sweat, and the whip in his hand is still waving, driving forward in a hurry.
The carriage galloped, crushing the grass beside the road, as if he had bent before the excesses of the tax.
Liu Xinchen's waist was originally very straight and hard, like a javelin towering, but for the sake of his wife and children, he had to bend his knees in front of the warlord and local tyrant, but even so, he could not escape the heavy burden of squeezing the bones and sucking the marrow, and Zuihou fled in a hurry to return to his hometown.
In the carriage behind him were his wife and sister, who were pregnant with Rokka, and his five-year-old son, this was his shijie, his everything, desperately trying to protect them - he only hoped that the pursuers would go along the official road, and not find this waste road.
Liu Xinchen glanced behind him in panic, although he didn't see the pursuers, he was still nervous in his heart... The whip could not help but swing a little faster.
Suddenly, a wolf howl tore through the dullness of heaven and earth.
Liu Xinchen's face became even paler, and he suddenly pulled the carriage down.
Jian Ma neighed, the car slowly stopped, and the curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing two shocked faces: "Xianggong, what's wrong?" "Brother, what's going on?" The sound is vibrasive, and the cold hair is erect.
Liu Xinchen looked at his wife Shuhui and sister Liu Yufeng, and smiled after hesitating slightly: "It's nothing, I'm just tired and ready to rest." Then he dismounted and gently helped his wife down, "You are tired after a day of driving, come, take two steps and slow your legs." β
The two of them were then relieved, their faces were slightly steady, so they got out of the car in response to the words, soothing their stiff waist and hands. He took the opportunity to get into the car and put the crossbow and sword on the carriage in front of him - he had also learned some sword martial arts when he was young, and he would have a lot of strength in case he really encountered a beast and a hungry wolf.
The child was still asleep in the car.
Liu Xinchen slowly turned around, and found that there was a line of footprints next to the car, from a distance all the way to here, and walked lonely to the front. After the rain, the soft mud was clearly recognizable, and it was obvious that this person had not known how many roads he had walked, and although he was lonely, he continued to walk.
He suddenly wondered: "Who is this, who would walk alone on such a deserted road?" In the past, he must be curious to go and find out, but when he is fleeing for his life, how can he?
I had to sigh, get in the car with my wife and sister, and continue to run to the end of the world.
The night is getting darker, the autumn breeze is gradually getting cooler, and the cold air between heaven and earth is getting thicker and thicker. The whip in Liu Xinchen's hand slowed down, and he was a little more careful, just wanting to find a safe place to sleep, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a fire in the distance!
A short walk it became clear that it was a fire beside the roadβhe was overjoyed, but soon his joy turned into a strange hesitation, and in a moment's time, the short knife was already stuffed in his bosom.
There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy leaning on the trunk of a tree, and in front of him was a fat rabbit roasting on the fire, and the flames of the light wind were scorching the rabbit meat, and the oil seeped out of the meat, and the salt particles dripped onto the fire, and green smoke came out. With the night breeze, the aroma of the scorching meat warmed with the heat of the fire, and everyone smelled the rare delicacy.
Even the five-year-old Liu Tianyan, who was asleep, sniffled and woke up with a milky voice: "Dad." I am hungry! β
Liu Xinchen is not lacking, why is he not hungry, and why does he not want to rest here? He felt that his whole body was sore, as if he was about to fall apart.
If there is a fire and a hunter who is familiar with the place, there is less danger of his family spending the night in the wilderness; But if this young man has bad intentions and has learned boxing and kicking by himself, his sister also knows some martial arts, and he is afraid that he will be able to restrain him - Liu Xinchen has considered this very clearly, and he has always been very shrewd.
Pull the reins lightly. Park the horse a few feet away. Liu Xinchen slowly got out of the carriage and walked towards the young man unsuspectingly, and he didn't see the face clearly until he got closer.
His eyebrows were thick. The eyes are huge. The thin lips were tightly pursed into a slit. The straight nose made his face look thinner, and there were a few freshly cut scars on his face, but they added a bit of mature allure to him.
It's a handsome face.
I'm still too young. It's not mature enough, but it's suction enough.
Liu Xinchen stopped, and before he could figure out how to speak, Liu Tianyan next to him had already run over waving his little hand, half-squatting in front of the fire, staring at the rabbit meat motionlessly, and began to swallow saliva... He looked up at the boy and then turned to the rabbit again.
The young man raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and crossed the faces of everyone, and suddenly smiled a little more, "Are you hungry?" Several people nodded together, waiting for Liu Xinchen to answer. He had to stand still, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Little brother, we have been on the road for a day, and we are all hungry... You see we have women and children, and we really can't stand it, uh, let's discuss, can you sell this rabbit to me? β
"Sold to you?"
"Oh, no, no, no, sell me half, sell me half." Liu Xinchen hurriedly took out the money bag: "Look, I can pay you..."
"Not for sale." The young man's eyebrows suddenly drooped, "Barren mountains and mountains, I finally found this rabbit, and I am hungry, how can I sell it to you?" β
"This..."Liu Xinchen listened to him, guessed that this young man was also a refugee, and suddenly understood that it was difficult to buy rabbit meat, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his face also showed a look of disappointment - but the young man raised his head again and said slowly:
"But even though I'm hungry, I can't eat such a big rabbit. If you're hungry, it's okay to help me eat half of it. β
Although the rabbit is fat, it is not enough to say that it cannot be eaten, and the young man can clearly help himself when he talks like this... Liu Xinchen was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and then called everyone to gather around the fire, and talked to the young man while roasting the fire.
He inquired, and the young man didn't seem to have much scheming, so he quickly asked the ins and outs, and as expected, the child was also a refugee, and this trip was to Shaanxi and Gansu, which happened to coincide with their whereabouts.
While speaking, Liu Yufeng took the time to ask him if he could take this young man with him, Liu Xinchen thought that the chasing soldiers behind him were very anxious, and there were still some soft clothes in the car, and taking one more person would inevitably drag him down - he avoided others, and gave Yufeng a little bit of the current situation without reproach, and she also woke up, and no one mentioned it again in this section.
"It's just..."Yufeng's words were quite sad: "In this wilderness, he encountered a vicious wolf and beast, but what should he do?" β
"Alas! Fate, everything is fate! Liu Xinchen also looked a little sad.
At this moment, the young man suddenly laughed, "But it's very familiar." He stood up and took off the rabbit meat, tore it while it was hot, and gave most of it to the Liu family - Liu Xinchen thanked him repeatedly, and divided it into several portions at the urging of his son, but he didn't eat it, and only asked his wife to take the bread from the car......
It wasn't until the boy began to eat the rabbit meat that it was distributed among the people.
Although the old bread has been sitting for a long time, it is extremely dry and hard, and it is as delicious as rabbit meat? Liu Xinchen baked the cake on the fire, and when it was slightly softer, he gave it to the young man as a return gift. He didn't shirk it, and he took it and ate the rabbit meat very happily.
After eating, they naturally didn't mention the matter of continuing to hurry, the Liu family added some firewood to the fire, and they all rested around the fire, and they all made a slight snoring sound after a short time.
The boy also fell asleep soundly against the tree.
At this time, Liu Xinchen, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, touched his waist knife with one hand, and slowly supported his body with one hand, step by step, cautiously approaching the young man.
In the firelight, that face was very hideous! (To be continued......)
