Earlier on the outskirts of the capital of the Central Plains—

Si Yu squatted down unhurriedly, probed the neck vein of Yintao who was lying on the ground, and then got up and patted the dust off his hands.

The bushes shook on the side, and a figure sprang out of them.

This sudden sound did not frighten Si Yu.

"How long have you been here?" Si Yu didn't look at her, but wiped blood on his clothes.

"It's been a while," Nightmare looked at the person Si Yu had just killed, "Who is this person?"

"Yintao. ”

Nightmare pulled out his sword, and he didn't care why he saw the two of them bring a group of women out just now, and he didn't ask why Yintao was dressed like this: "Then you cut it or I came?"

"Naturally, it's me," Si Yu said, scratching her hair, "but don't worry, go do something with me first." ”

At the beginning of tomorrow, Yintao was awakened by a sharp pain.

He quickly remembered what had happened before, and did not dare to move after getting up from the ground.

He subconsciously looked at his chest.

The tip of the knife that passed through its body looked particularly terrifying in the moonlight.

Although the bleeding had stopped, the wound was still painful.

Yintao moved to the nearest rock.

He didn't dare to make any movement of the knife on his body, but fortunately, he was conscious now, and there was no other problem except that he felt weaker.

After checking that there were no other injuries on his body, he was able to calm down and observe his surroundings.

This is nowhere else, it is the entrance to the cottage, but it is strangely quiet.

Except for the mountain breeze blowing the trees and the insects chirping, there was no sound.

After Yintao touched the rocks, he hid there and quietly watched the current situation.

But the stars shifted, and time passed minute by minute, and there was silence both inside and outside the cave.

He didn't know what was going on, he only knew that the knife was stabbed by Si Yu, and that these mountain bandits should have gone wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to lie at the entrance of the cave for a day without anyone taking care of it.

But according to his current physical condition, he was not allowed to go into the cave to find out.

Yin Tao knew that the top priority at the moment was to find a doctor quickly, after all, inserting a knife in his chest, neither the appearance nor his own feeling was so comfortable.

So, he left the cottage cautiously, and found some rattan in the mountains and forests to barely fix the knife, so as not to accidentally suffer a disaster, after all, that place is the heart.

Although his body was weak, Yintao still moved to the official road step by step by holding on to the tree.

It's late at night again, and there are no people on the official road.

Yintao discerned the direction, he couldn't go back to the capital, so he had to go in the direction of Dinghua Mountain, fortunately, there was a post station not far away, and this kind of post station on the official road would live a lot of people, Yintao felt that he could only go to gamble.

Despite all his caution along the way, the wound was bleeding again, and the pain became more and more intense.

In front of him was the post station, Yintao gritted his teeth and hurried a few steps into the door.

He had been thinking about how to explain his situation, but it turned out that he was too worried, because the moment he pushed the door in, he fell unconscious again.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the bed.

Although the pain in his chest did not abate, when he looked up, he saw that the knife was gone, and the gauze was wrapped around his chest.

In the room, a white-bearded old man was sorting out the medicine box on the table.

"Was it the seniors who saved me?" Yintao tried to get up, but at most he could only sit up, and the pain was already irreparable.

"It's best for the young man not to move for the time being," the old man took some medicine and walked to Yintao's side, "Take these later, you should be fine in a few days." ”

"Thank you seniors for saving your life, but there is no silver tael on the lower body, wait for ......"

"Someone has already paid for the young man's consultation," the old man turned around and went back to pack the medicine box, "The old man is just an ordinary doctor, don't call the old man a senior, and if it is said that it is not the old man who saved the young man's life, there is another person, and these medicines are also prepared by the old man in advance." ”

"Beforehand?"

"The old man usually sees a doctor in the village and town in front of him, but earlier someone gave the old man a piece of silver, and asked the old man to come here to wait for the young man," the old man packed up the medicine box and carried it on his back, "The man told the old man almost nothing about the young man's injury, and said that if he waited for it tonight, he would be saved, and if he couldn't wait, forget it, the old man thought it was a joke of a boring person, but the man directly paid a silver ingot......"

"Before... Can the old gentleman tell me what that man looks like?"

The doctor shook his head: "She doesn't let the old man speak." ”

"How does the old gentleman know that I am the one he asked you to save?"

Because she said it, it was a man with a knife in his body and dressed like a mountain bandit, and the old man didn't believe it before he saw the young man, so he just didn't make this ingot of silver in vain. The doctor said.

In fact, Yintao had already guessed who it was, but he didn't understand why.

The old man said more, the young man should be grateful for his creation, the knife stopped just right where it should have stopped, if it was half an inch or half an inch shorter, the gods would not be able to save it. ”
