Chapter 47: Dawn and Darkness

After Ma Baiyu learned of the defeat of the Yuanyang City Merchant Gang, he held a military meeting in the principal's mansion overnight.

After the meeting, Ma Baiyu mobilized the sharp weapons in Hua Zhongxian's private treasury in Yuanyang City - 3,000 Shenji bows and 2,000 Shenji crossbows. Batches of bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows were transported to the outside of the Shiyang Town market ten miles west of the city. Three thousand soldiers of the city defense battalion were asked to continue to surround the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division, and five thousand Yuanyang Wei soldiers were ordered to learn to use the Shenji Bow and Shenji Crossbow.

At the darkest hour of dawn, soldiers and sharp weapons were in place.

Ma Baiyu thought about Hua Zhongxian's handsome appearance and counterattacking life experience, and couldn't help but be jealous.

Looking at the Divine Machine Bow and Divine Machine Crossbow in front of him, he felt comfortable again, and said in his heart: The bow and crossbow you have prepared for three years are all my sharp weapons. Ha ha...... With these divine bows and crossbows, I am the most powerful master of the Great Xuan Kingdom. I don't want any big treasures, I don't want any wealth, I just want you to die. No matter how many Qi Refining Cultivators you have, my Divine Machine Bow and Crossbow will shoot them into "hedgehogs".

Li Xiao felt that the darkness before dawn was darker than the darkness of the night.

This is probably due to the different angles of sunlight hitting the earth, as well as the reflection and scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.

Before dawn, candles and torches were lit in and outside the hall of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division.

Three doctors are treating injured white-armored guards, women and children.

Li Xiao held the three-foot-three-inch long light iron sword, and saw that the hilt of the sword was engraved with the word "Dong" and the word "Chang", "Dong Chang" is probably a person's name, why is the name engraved on this sword?

The little fat man Fang Chengyang, the big fat man Pinghudong, the slender Fang Ya, and the slightly darker Pingjun are all children of the official eunuchs, who have been well protected and have no casualties.

After they talked to Li Xiao about children, they were chased away by a doctor.

Li Xiao was very tired, but his back was injured, and it took a long time for an old doctor surnamed Xia, who was nearly sixty years old, to come and give him medicine and bandage.

After the old doctor surnamed Xia cut Li Xiao's clothes with scissors, he found that Li Xiao's wound not only stopped bleeding because of pressure, but also began to scab and heal, he still carefully cleaned the long wound twice with medicinal solution, applied cool herbs, and then he began to wrap bandages around Li Xiao's back, and the snow-white bandages went around the shoulders, chest and abdomen, wrapped around the waist twice, and finally formed a slipknot. The old doctor is experienced and soft, and the whole process is not too painful, but Li Xiao, who is afraid of pain, still grins his teeth "in pain".

Seeing that Li Xiao was very afraid of pain, the old doctor smiled and said, "Young man, you are not afraid of killing bad guys, why are you still afraid of pain?"

Li Xiao looked at the wrinkled face of the old doctor, and sighed in his heart: It's really not easy to be so old and still so energetic. "Grandpa, I've been afraid of pain since I was a child. "When I was sick when I was a child, I would rather drink bitter medicine than get injections.

"Child, if you are afraid of pain in your heart, it will hurt, and this is all due to your heart. ”

"Grandpa, I know what you said, this is called psychological suggestion. ”

The old doctor didn't understand what Li Xiao said, but asked, "Son, where are you from? What about your father and mother?"

Li Xiao felt heartache for a while, after coming to this world, it was the first time he was so seriously injured, the first time he killed someone, the first time he felt that death was so close to him, the first time he loved life so much, the first time he was so eager for food, the first time he missed his parents so much, and the first time he felt lonely. Perhaps after a person has experienced physical and mental tribulations, he knows how to cherish life more.

Li Xiao's nose was sour, and he almost cried, he touched his nose, wiped his eyes, and said to the old doctor: "I am from Hongxing Village. I ......"

"You're also from Red Star Village, why don't I know you?"

Li Xiao asked and answered himself in his heart for a while, and after thinking about it, he said, "I came from a far away place, and I was picked up by Aunt Li and returned to Hongxing Village. ”

The old doctor said: "I have been on errands in the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Department all the year round, and occasionally go back to the village. A few days ago, I delivered rice to my family and went home. My eldest son said that the daughter-in-law of the Li family picked up a child, is that you?"

Li Xiao learned the dialogue of the costume drama and said: "It's just below." ”

The old doctor said again: "The eldest son said that you were handed over by the village chief to the Jinniu Town Market Inspection Division. ”

Li Xiao hurriedly said: "I'm not guilty, they let me go again." "The person who let Lee laugh is Hua Zhongxian.

The old healer grinned silently.

Li Xiao asked, "Do you know where the second girl and Aunt Li went?"

The old doctor closed his mouth, was serious for a while, and said, "The second girl was bought by Xianji Trading House. ”

Li Xiao was shocked and lost his voice: "What is bought?" After speaking, he vaguely guessed: The second girl may have been sold to Xianji Trading House by Aunt Li? "What is Xianji Trading Company?"

"It is said that the owner of Xian Kee Trading House is the chief of Yuanyang City, specializing in selling girls. ”

"Which big boss? Hua Zhongxian?"

"Shhh ”

Ma Baiyu killed the boy, could it be that Hua Zhongxian really sold the girl? Li Xiao made up his mind in his heart that he would save the second girl at all costs. He asked again, "Where is Aunt Li?" She didn't come back after she left that day. ”

The old doctor lowered his head and shed two lines of tears, sniffed and said, "I heard that a woman was beaten to death by the shopkeeper outside the door of the Lehehe Restaurant. That woman may be the daughter-in-law of the Li family. ”

Listening to the old doctor say this, Li Xiao's brain was insufficient, and it "buzzed" and became blank, as if it had been emptied. After a moment's whirlwind, his brain returned to normal.

Huge worries and deep self-blame began to torment Li Xiao's heart, his eyes were full of tears, and he gritted his teeth and said, "For...... What? Why?"

"I heard that the woman first begged for food from the Lehehe Restaurant, and then this stupid woman came to block the door every day to beg for food, she didn't know to change the restaurant to beg for it, which annoyed the owner of the Lehehe Restaurant, and the shopkeeper ordered the shopkeeper to drive her away, and then she was killed. ”

Li Xiao trembled with anger, and subconsciously decided to avenge Aunt Li.

The old healer added, "It is said that the foolish woman was obsessed with begging for food in order to prepare food for her sick son. ”

Li Xiao choked up painfully and said, "Is the owner of Lehehe Restaurant Sun Tu?"

The old healer wiped his tears and asked suspiciously, "This is a secret, do you know it?"

"I know. ”

"Don't cry, kid. ”

"Good. ”

"You have been stabbed, but nothing has happened. ”

"I can recover quickly. ”

"They say you're a Qi Refining Cultivator, don't look at my age, I've seen no more than ten Qi Refining Cultivators. ”

"Really?"

"yes. Child, you have a good rest. I'm going to go there for help. ”

Li Xiao held back her tears and said, "Grandpa, go quickly." ”

Li Xiao was very tired, he lay on the bed, and he didn't sleep.

The second girl was really sold? Who is the owner of the Xianji Trading House? Aunt Li really died in front of the door of the Lehehe Restaurant? Li Xiao fell into contemplation and pain.
