Chapter 276: Dead Street
Li Ding's change was not without warning, but it also came very suddenly. Ah Wei discovered the abnormality at the first time and wanted to hold Li Ding, but he refused.
"Otherwise, let's find a place to rest. Ah Wei couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Ah Zheng, who had barely opened his mouth, said smartly: "There is an inn at the corner of the street I passed just now. ”
Li Ding lowered his head and closed his eyes, his face was pale, his expression was painful, and his face was distorted, in such a state, he seemed to have lost the ability to discern direction.
Li Ding was pulled by Ah Wei before taking a step, but after taking a few steps, he stumbled and almost knelt down.
"Lei Gongzi!" Ah Wei was taken aback, and supported Li Ding with Ah Zheng, regardless of whether he refused again.
I didn't want Li Ding to raise his head suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, his expression was distorted, and his cold eyes revealed a terrifying murderous aura.
At this glance, Ah Wei, who was staring at him, trembled violently, and a cool breath was born on his back.
However, the next moment, Li Ding's terrifying eyes disappeared in an instant, and his eyelids were half-together, making Ah Wei can't help but glance at Ah Zheng, thinking that it was not his illusion just now.
"I'm fine. Li Ding roared in a hoarse voice, stood up straight and wanted to shake off Ah Wei and Ah Zheng's hands.
Except for Li Ding himself, no one else will know what he has just experienced, and the kind of pain that makes life worse than death may only be endured by his body and will.
In just a moment, Li Ding had too many things in his mind, which could not be digested in a while. His consciousness was a little blurry, and his body was visibly weak, but fortunately, the tormenting pain of consciousness seemed to be waning.
"Young Master Lei?" Ah Wei slowly let go of his hand, but he wasn't sure if Li Ding would be able to stand firmly.
"I said I'm fine. Li Ding said in a dumb voice again, glanced at Ah Wei with empty eyes, and a cold look on his pale face gave people the same feeling as before.
Ah Wei and Ah Zheng looked at each other for a moment, their eyes full of deep doubt.
"Dodge ......"
Suddenly, there was a shout from the end of the street, and in the sound of horses' hooves, a fast horse galloped towards it, frightening the pedestrians to dodge on both sides of the street.
Seeing this situation, Ah Wei and Ah Zheng also hurriedly flashed to the side, but Li Ding suddenly stumbled and stopped in the middle of the street.
The incident happened suddenly, and the horse came very quickly, and Li Ding delayed the opportunity this time, seeing that if he didn't dodge quickly, he would be hit.
"Lei Gongzi, get out of the way. Ah Wei and Ah Zheng's faces changed in shock, but they saw a figure flash between the lightning and flint, and it was Ah Wei who flew up to block it.
"Dodge ......"
The rider was a young man in white, who didn't seem to think that anyone would stop his way, and he didn't mean to slow down at all, but shouted angrily, clamped his legs, raised his hand and threw a whip on the horse's buttocks, which increased the horse's speed by another point.
The brown steed, extremely strong, was stimulated by a heavy whip, and it went on a rampage.
This scene frightened the surrounding pedestrians to exclaim again and again, and Ah Zheng next to him saw that Li Ding was as if he was sleepwalking and had no reaction, so he also flew up and pounced.
"Ah......h
In a burst of screams, seeing that he was about to collide, Ah Zheng pushed Li Ding and Ah Wei across the street together with a flying patch, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Look for death. The young man in white scolded angrily and galloped over.
"Damn. Ah Zheng turned over and got up, and under the burst of vitality, he was about to catch up with him.
"Don't chase it, Lei Gongzi is important. Ah Wei also jumped up in an instant, held Li Ding and said.
"Is Young Master Lei okay?" Ah Zheng reacted and looked Li Ding up and down with a panicked expression.
In a hurry, the force of Ah Zheng's push was not small, and the three of them fell so hard. Li Ding and Ah Wei were in direct contact with the ground.
"I'm fine. Li Ding exhaled and glanced up at Ah Wei, only to see that the sleeve of Ah Wei's left hand was worn out.
It turned out that at the moment when he was knocked down by Ah Zheng just now, Ah Wei turned his body in the air, and with his left hand, he picked up Li Ding with his left hand, and even caught Li Ding with his left arm, not letting him land directly. Ah Wei's sleeve was frayed, and a long abrasion mark was left on the ground.
"Your hands are fine. Li Ding was just momentarily distracted, but he still knew what had just happened.
Ah Wei and Ah Zheng have just used their vitality, both of which are metallic, which can be regarded as indicating their identity as cultivators. With their abilities, they shouldn't be able to get hurt even if they are hit, but Ah Wei and Ah Zheng's actions are enough to make people grateful.
"It's fine. Ah Wei moved his arm and smiled: "I don't care, as long as you are okay, Young Master Lei." ”
Hearing Ah Wei say this, Li Ding was relieved.
The fast horse had long since disappeared from the corner, and the three of them stood up, and the pedestrians who had just been watching had an attitude of not caring about themselves, and when they saw that there was no commotion, they soon dispersed.
"It's okay, it's okay. On the side, Ah Zheng muttered two sentences with palpitations.
"Lei Gongzi, you have also seen that the city is not so peaceful as it seems, and it is not too early to see that it is not early, if Gongzi's business cannot be done today, even if we don't go back, it is good to find an inn to rest first. Ah Wei said.
Li Ding understood what Ah Wei meant, because of the continuous severe headache, his current state was indeed not very good, not to mention that it was too sudden just now, if something really happened, Ah Wei and Ah Zheng naturally couldn't explain to Zhang He.
But Ah Wei's words also reminded Li Ding that the time was not early, and he had to move forward to the black market as soon as possible.
"It's still early, when to rest, I have my own measure. But Ah Wei, thank you just now. Li Dingqiang cheered up and grinned.
"But ......" Ah Wei still wanted to speak, but Li Ding turned around and walked away, Ah Wei and Ah Zheng had to follow closely, and they didn't dare to be distracted at all.
Maybe it was the unexpected incident just now that diverted Li Ding's attention, or maybe those foreign memories had been cast, the pain in Li Ding's mind was getting weaker and weaker, and his physical strength was slowly recovering, which made him feel a little relieved about his physical condition.
In the meantime, Li Ding took the opportunity to check the wooden fish in his mind, since the wooden fish seemed to wake up once in the beast world, he had been in a deep sleep without the slightest reaction.
You must know that because the scoundrel Li Ding has dispersed the wood attribute vitality in his body, he will naturally wonder if the pain just now is related to the wooden fish, but on the surface, the two seem to have nothing to do with each other.
After some walking, Li Ding had already entered the Tushan District in the northwest corner of the royal city, and was getting farther and farther away from the Donghua District where Zhang He's mansion was located, which made Ah Wei and Ah Zheng, who were following Li Ding, seem to feel something, and reminded Li Ding several times not to go to too remote places. However, Li Ding's pace became faster and faster, and later Ah Wei and Ah Zheng had to trot to keep up with him.
Time flies, it gets late, and suddenly the street in front of you becomes quiet, and the surrounding buildings seem dead in the cold atmosphere.
Stopping, Ah Wei and Ah Zheng's expressions suddenly became grim, they didn't expect to follow Li Ding left and right to come to such a place.
Looking at the layout, this piece should be a street full of shops, but it is closed and dilapidated, and there is not a single pedestrian in sight on the long street.
"Lei Gongzi! This is a 'dead street', not a place where we should be. Ah Wei looked alert and reminded solemnly.
Wangcheng Dead Street is not a street, but refers to a small special area in the Tushan District in the northwest corner of Wangcheng.
A long time ago, this place was not as dead and silent as it was in front of you, and although it was bustling and prosperous, it was also a thriving place. It's a pity that this is the only way to the wasteland, and with the slow rise of the black market in the wasteland, a mix of characters has turned this place into a mess.
There is a way to fish in troubled waters, and some business people have also stuck to it for a while, but this principle does not seem to apply in Dead Street. There are a few people who can go to the black market to buy things, and a few of them are good at stubble, it is simply common to be a traitor, and headless public cases of murder and stealing goods also occur from time to time.
So those who didn't have the strength began to flee from here, and those who had the strength simply entered the wasteland and started trading in the black market.
Gradually, this area has evolved into a dividing line, dividing the lives of ordinary people in Tu'an District into two worlds from the black market.
Ordinary people will never venture into the dead street, not to mention encountering ill-intentioned villains in this ruin, even standing in the middle of a dilapidated building, the feeling of being secretly watched by one or two pairs of eyes can also scare people half to death.
Especially at night, it's dark, cold, and even creepy.
However, facing the dead street in front of him, Li Ding seemed very calm, and his indifferent expression gave people the feeling that he was familiar with this place, and did not look like a newcomer.
At this time, Li Ding had obviously fully recovered, he glanced around with a cold look, ignored Ah Wei's words, and suddenly spoke: "I know this is a dead street, but what I want to say is that if you don't want to go over, you can go back now." ”
"What...... Lei Gongzi, what are you going to do?" Ah Wei couldn't help but be taken aback, and a brisk step blocked Li Ding's side, and Ah Zheng next to him also moved his footsteps.
The intentions of the two were self-evident, and Li Ding smiled secretly: "I already said during the day, I must go to the Wangcheng Black Market." As for the explanation given to you by Shopkeeper Zhang, I hope you will understand that this is not a reason to restrict my movements. ”
After Li Ding finished speaking, his body suddenly moved, and he ran forward past Ah Wei in an instant.
"How is that possible!" Ah Wei shouted, turned around in surprise, and chased after Ah like an arrow from a string.
However, what surprised Ah Wei and Ah Zheng even more was that they found that even if they used their vitality, they could only keep up with Li Ding, but they could never surpass him.
"What kind of realm is this Lei Gongzi, do you want to ......" In the chase, Ah Zheng suddenly asked Ah Wei with a look in his eyes.
"No, the uncle said that this person is very important, no matter what, you can't hurt him, so let's follow him to the black market first. Ah Wei's expression was grim, and his eyes were full of doubt.
So, on the dark dead street, three figures flashed quickly in pursuit. But just as Li Ding and the others left, a shadow emerged from behind a broken window, staring coldly at the direction in which Li Ding disappeared.
