Chapter 38: Saving Lives
Feng Heng walked aimlessly in the snow for a few days, fortunately, after so many years, his appearance has changed a lot, presumably no one can recognize him, but this Feng Heng is really worried, even if his appearance does not change, I am afraid that no one will be able to recognize him anymore, because he is dirty and messy at this time, and he is still holding a broken bowl in his hand, no matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary beggar.
Although he doesn't want to ask for food in the future, he really has no way to make ends meet except for food, and he doesn't know how far he has come, let alone where he has gone.
Feng Heng looked at the barren mountains and wilderness around him, it seemed that his lunch was gone, fortunately, although it was impossible for his current cultivation to skip meals, it should be no problem to be hungry for two or three meals, speaking of which, if he didn't cultivate, he might have frozen to death.
This year's winter is colder than usual, Feng Heng came to a big lake, and saw that there was a thick layer of ice on the lake, this lake looked very big, completely blocking his way forward, Feng Heng didn't know why he didn't take the road and walked here in a daze.
Now there are two choices in front of him, one is to take the risk and walk on the seemingly thick ice, or change the direction to detour, Feng Heng hesitated for a while and tried the hardness of the ice, wanting to choose the first one, because he didn't have a map in his hand and couldn't tell the direction, it was difficult to say what to do if he went around and went back, although he had a strong perception, but he didn't have any confidence in his sense of direction.
However, just as he was about to step on the ice, he suddenly saw two black dots approaching here from a distance, Feng Heng listened intently, and sure enough, he felt a slight sound of horses' hooves, because of the thick snow on the ground, Feng Heng's keen hearing was almost useless, but fortunately, his eyesight became extremely sharp after cultivating the eye of the night.
He didn't want to cause trouble, believing that those people wouldn't care about a little beggar, so he just stood still, and had the right to enjoy the lake and mountains first, although there was no lake now.
As the two black dots gradually approached, Feng Heng found that it should be two seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, they were all wearing thick coats, and they were also wearing canopy hats on their heads, so their appearance was not very clear, but there was one thing Feng Heng could see very clearly, in addition to the young man sitting on the left side, there was a long sack, hanging horizontally in front of the young man, I don't know what it contained.
Feng Heng's sixth sense began to be restless again, and some bad premonitions rose.
"Huh?" The two didn't expect that there were still people here, and they were shocked after stopping not far from Feng Heng.
Feng Heng pretended not to see them, still staring blankly at the frozen lake in front of him.
The two looked at each other, dismounted in unison, and led the horses over.
"It turned out to be a little Hanako. The person on the left looked at Feng Heng a few times, as if he was relieved.
The person on the right seemed to have a higher status than the one on the left, and when he heard this, he glared at him, threw the reins in his hand and walked over slowly.
Feng Heng pretended to be surprised and frightened and looked at the approaching youth, in order to increase the dramatic effect, he also began to tremble, but obviously the effect was not very good, the young man only thought that he was shivering from the cold.
"Who are you?" asked the young man with a domineering expression.
"Back... Back to the two uncles, I'm a... Ask for food. "Feng Heng's current profession is a beggar, and he already has a lot of experience in pretending to be pitiful.
The young man looked him up and down a few times, and his eyes stopped at the broken bowl in his hand, "Why don't you go and ask for food, what are you doing in this wilderness?"
Feng Heng felt that there was a faint murderous intent in the young man's gaze, and then looked at the frozen lake in front of him, "I... I don't want to live anymore. ”
The young man smiled, "This saves the uncle's business, you can jump!"
Feng Heng looked even more scared, "The lake is frozen, and I... Can't bump it off. ”
The young man sneered, "You come with me." ”
"Oh. Feng Heng replied stupidly, and as the young man came to the horse, another young man had already unloaded the long sack on it, and took out a chisel and hammer.
Feng Heng gradually understood what they wanted to do, it seemed that the sack should contain something they would never want to see again, "What is it in here... Is it food?"
Both of them laughed, and the young man with a higher status said, "Are you going to die and still worry about eating?"
Feng Heng smiled embarrassedly and scratched his dirty hair, "I'm afraid of becoming a starving ghost..."
The young man walked to the horse and took out two baked cakes from a cloth bag tied to it, and threw them towards Feng Heng, "Eat quickly, let's go on the road when we finish eating." As he spoke, the young man told another young man to hurry up.
Feng Heng thanked him a few times, picked up the baked cakes on the snow and ate them in a big gulp, and saw another young man holding the sack on his shoulder, and then carrying the prepared tools and heading towards the lake.
"Let's go. The young man glanced at Feng Heng and led him over as well.
This ice is much stronger than Feng Heng imagined, watching the two of them strolling on it, Feng Heng immediately came to two conclusions, one is that they all have cultivation, but from the perspective of momentum, it should not be very high, and the other is that they must have come to investigate before, otherwise they would not dare to come up so boldly.
In this way, today's incident between the two of them must have been planned in advance, and it is not difficult to see what is contained in it from the protruding outline on the sack, Feng Heng is thinking of countermeasures while following them, and he can't really sink into the lake with the sack.
"That's it. The young man who had been walking for a while suddenly stopped, and they were already dozens of meters away from the lake.
Another young man put down the sack when he heard this, and without saying a word, he took out the chisel and began to chisel, and the young man looked at the sack and Feng Heng with a sneer, thinking that they would disappear from this world after a while.
"Is this okay? will it crack the ice chisel and fall into it with you?" Feng Heng asked with a wink of innocent eyes.
The young man smiled and did not answer him, obviously very confident in the strength of the ice chisel youth.
"It's really going to crack!" Feng Heng exclaimed with some horror.
Sure enough, a white crack began to spread in all directions, and the young man was also stunned, shouting at the ice-chiseling young man who was also a little frightened: "You give me care!"
"Yes. The young man chiseled the ice in response and began to chisel again, but this time the force was obviously much lighter.
"What's in this sack?" asked Feng Heng idiotically.
"It's my brother!" the young man did not hide the smug look on his face, as if he was doing some feat.
"Hmm, then why did you throw him into the lake?" Feng Heng had some guesses in his heart.
The young man looked at Feng Heng with the eyes of a dead man, "Because he is the elder brother, I am the younger brother!"
"Oh. Feng Heng agreed, thought for a while, and suddenly looked up at the young man, "Maybe I think your brother deserves to die more!" After speaking, he reached out and lifted the cloth bag, put his right foot on the ice a little, and swept towards the lake with this strength.
The two young men looked at Feng Heng who was sweeping towards the lake in a daze, and in the blink of an eye, both of them had a hazy feeling, wondering if they were dreaming.
However, the ensuing facts proved that this was not a dream, and only heard the sound of "boom!", and the ice under the feet of the two of them burst and fell into the icy lake in unison.
At this time, Feng Heng was only a few meters away from the lake, listening to the screams of the two people behind, a cold smile appeared on his face, his foot was very measured, and then every time he landed, he stepped on the ice again, and as soon as he landed, he heard the sound of crackling behind him, and the ice surface had all cracked, and it completely cut off the vitality of the two people.
Although they have a certain amount of cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to reach the level of flying in the sky, although there is no problem with short-distance flying, but now the cotton clothes of the two of them are soaked with water, and there is no focus on it.
Feng Heng threw down the cloth bag, turned to look at the lake that gradually regained its calm after the two of them struggled continuously, and said with a cold gaze: "Murderer, Ren Heng kills him!" Although he said it to the two young men, what he was thinking about was Tang Xuan and Tang Zhong.
In addition to carrying the cloth bag containing the baked cake into his arms, Feng Heng threw all the items on the horse into the lake along with the saddle, although the world has not seen such a thing as the family emblem, but I believe that there are still many things that can be recognized.
He was not in a hurry to open the sack, although he really wanted to see what this person who was almost killed by his brother looked like, but now was by no means the time for ink, Feng Heng directly released one of the horses, and put the sack across the other, and climbed up himself, but just went up and fell down, this horse is slippery, and he has never learned to ride a horse, and he can't ride it at all, so he can only lead it and run in one direction.
He doesn't care about the direction now, he just wants to find a clean place to place the people in the sack first, and after running for a long time, he was so tired that he was out of breath before he finally saw a broken temple in front of him, maybe because he was used to living before, Feng Heng will have a sense of intimacy when he sees the temple now, and the more broken this feeling is, the stronger this feeling is, Feng Heng wondered if he really had the talent to be a beggar?
Immediately laughed at himself, led the horse to the temple, released the horse, and walked into the temple with a sack, unexpectedly the scene in front of him immediately made him stunned, only to see that although the broken temple was broken, it was much more neat than that of himself and the old beggar, at least the statue inside was still intact, but obviously this fairy also walked the wild road, it seems that no one has come to worship him for a long time.
In addition to the statue of the god, there is only a pile of weeds in the temple, but at this time there are two people lying on the weeds, to be precise, a man and a woman, the man is riding on the woman's body at this time, although the two are not naked, but it seems that it is fast, Feng Heng saw that the man was untying the woman's belt.
Time seemed to stand still, six eyes converged in one place, Feng Heng swallowed his saliva, and his hand that didn't mention the sack shook twice in front of his eyes, "Is there anyone in there?...... Well, it doesn't seem like there's any, so I'd better go beg for food elsewhere. As he spoke, he turned around and walked slowly, muttering as he went, "It's really inconvenient to be blind." ”
After walking for a while, I heard that no one followed, so I hurriedly carried the sack and ran away.
