Chapter 42: All the Way East
The time when Bai Shake defrauded him of all his money was in the afternoon, and he met him in the morning of the same day.
When I met Bai Shiver, the boy was sitting alone on the side of the road. At that time, Jiuhan was holding Lu Shu, and Wei Xicheng and Wu Liangzi followed in parallel behind him. Ahead is a wide road, and beside it is an endless grassland. There were a few trees scattered here and there in the verdant grassland, and Bai Shiver sat under one of the largest trees, in a daze.
What no one thought at that time was that Bai Tremor was waiting for them.
Just like the description in the script, when the nine-and-a-half group passed by Bai Shake's side, the boy cried "wow". There is no one around, and the wilderness is even more inaccessible. Originally, I walked the rivers and lakes, relying on the sentence "Dead friends do not die poor Dao", what does it matter to me about the life and death of others? The most important thing is to ensure that I live to the end.
But ah, Bai Shiver is so cute, Wu Liangzi can't walk all of a sudden. In fact, it stands to reason that Wu Liangzi, as a disciple of Shaohong, has gone through a lot of large and small scenes, but why can't he walk just when he sees a Bai Shake? What can this Bai Shake see better? In fact, there are not many, but because of the nature of his work, Bai Shake has formed a quality that is easy to believe, and coupled with his youthful face, it always makes people feel pitiful.
Oh forgot to mention, Bai Shake's profession is a liar.
"You...... What's wrong with you?" Wu Liangzi seemed to be in contact with a child for the first time, and she spoke cautiously as if she was afraid of breaking the porcelain doll in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Bai Trembling cried even more.
"Let's go, let's go. Seeing Bai Trembling, who cried even more as soon as Wu Liangzi approached, Wei Xicheng suddenly felt upset. "Since someone put him here, someone must come to pick him up, let's go, let's go. His perennial experience of walking the rivers and lakes told him that he was very repulsive to the child in front of him. Besides, how can a child be alone in such a place in broad daylight? There must be a problem.
"But if he stays here by himself, aren't you worried about him being snatched away or any other accident?"
"What kind of accident can there be? You don't want to think about how he ended up here, how he came to be, and how he went?" On the question about this strange child, Jiuhan was almost completely from the perspective of Wei Xiyan, so his tone was a little indifferent. As for the remaining bit of mercy, it is because of his humanitarian feelings.
Seeing that the two men in front of her were almost unanimously against her decision, Wu Liangzi's temper as a girl seemed to come up. Although she didn't know Bai Trembling's name at the moment, she resolutely hugged Bai Trembling into her arms at once, and almost used all her strength to shout at the two men in front of her:
"He's just a kid!"
Going on the road with a child, there are troubles along the way. Bai shivered for a while, wanted to drink water, ate for a while, hugged for a while, and didn't know when he was going to pee. And Wu Liangzi will have some brain-dead conversations with him from time to time.
"What's your name, baby?"
"My name is Bai Shake. Bai Trembling's voice was extremely crisp, and this very good sound in Wu Liangzi's ears became a ...... in the ears of Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng Scary.
"What a nice name, how old are you?"
"Ten years old. ”
"What a ......"
Such conversations were produced all the way from morning to noon, and Wei Xicheng and Jiu Ban also listened to it all the way, and got goosebumps all over their bodies. But later, the two gradually adapted to this mode of getting along. From the time Bai Trembling was taken by Wu Liangzi's side, two hours passed and nothing happened, so the two big men gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Maybe that's the inertia of men and men.
Men and men's inertia are terrible, and many things are bad on it. After walking for two hours, I still didn't see the town, but it's no wonder that after all, this is on the "Wilderness Ancient Road" in the easternmost part of the country of the Raccoon Dog, this passage is inaccessible, usually people walk for three days and three nights may not be able to meet a caravan between countries, not to mention that the nine-and-a-half group may not be so lucky.
The turn of events happened when they took a nap. It was so hot that the midday sun was so hot that you couldn't open your eyes. After eating some dry food at noon, the group decided to rest in the shade of a tree, so they found a relatively large tree and sat down. Wu Liangzi fell asleep first, after all, she was really exhausted from taking care of the children along the way; the second one who fell asleep was Jiu Han, he had never put any little things in his heart, but he just felt that Bai Shao was a little too playful as a child; Wei Xicheng didn't sleep, and his previous experience made him always vigilant, so he was mentally vigilant around, for fear that a group of beasts would run out of the surroundings and attack him at any time. As for Bai Trembling, he is still in good spirits and playing around very happily.
Half an hour passed, and Wei Xicheng's eyelids finally drooped. The sun was too warm, and after eating, his body supplied all the blood and essence to the appetite to digest the food, and he became more and more sleepy. After barely resisting the surging drowsiness again and again, he suddenly woke up in a flash!
Where did Bai Shake go?!
"Big brother, are you looking for me?" suddenly felt a chill in his neck, as if something had pierced him. Immediately after, the sound of white trembling came to his ears. At this moment, he knew that Bai Shao was standing behind him, but he desperately wanted to turn back, but his body became heavier and heavier, and he resisted all this more and more. Finally, the heavier and heavier drowsiness finally overwhelmed his will, and Wei Xicheng fell into a deep sleep.
In the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he seemed to hear a solemn sigh.
Bai Shake is a habitual liar, but he was not born to be a habitual liar.
In life, there are always a thousand reasons to overwhelm you, and her trembling is cruel to the dialogue, but it is also for other people. At first, Bai Shiver resisted, but when he found that the more he resisted, the more embarrassed he became, and when his waist was bent again and again, he gradually compromised. He knows that there are many things that people are powerless to do.
Later, he learned to make money by getting his hands dirty, and the money he earned would make his life better, so why not? As for when to wash his hands and when to wash his hands in the so-called golden basin, Bai Shao did not think about these things at all.
Anyway, now that I'm doing well and getting closer to my goal, why not?
Anyway, all the people who want to wash their hands in the golden basin in those words will be killed on the day they wash their hands, so in order to live well, it is better to keep the status quo.
So when he took away all the belongings of Wei Xicheng and his party, he almost didn't hesitate at all, but left a heavy sigh.
"Today I hurt a group of people again, sin and sin. ”
When Wei Xicheng woke up, it was already afternoon. The sun was setting, and he could only see Wu Liangzi's figure and sad face under the tree, but there was no trace of nine and a half.
"What about nine and a half?" The first thing Wei Xicheng woke up was to pat the back of his head vigorously, he didn't know what was put on his neck just now, and his consciousness was not very clear when he woke up. He carefully touched his neck and back, and found nothing.
On the other side, Wu Liangzi quietly handed him a silver needle, and said without raising his head: "Jiu Ban went around to find Bai Shiver, this is the ...... I just took off from your neck" It seems that because of his weak heart, Wu Liangzi's voice became smaller and smaller, and then it was almost faint into mosquitoes.
"You all know it?" Picking up the silver needle, Wei Xicheng took a closer look. Fortunately, it is just a silver needle smeared with ordinary anesthetics, if Bai Shaozhen has any evil intentions, I am afraid that Wei Xicheng and his party are no longer alive at this moment. It's just strange that this white trembling appearance of a teenager can quietly approach Wei Xicheng?
The scene was slightly embarrassing, Wei Xicheng and Wu Liangzi did not speak, one studied the silver needle in his hand, and the other lowered his head and said nothing. However, this scene is quickly broken by the nine and a half who rush back, and he brings back a relatively important news.
Judging from the surrounding traces, Bai Shao should have fled to the east!
"Chasing?" Wei Xicheng's eyes looked at Wu Liangzi, but it seemed that he asked in vain, after all, all the salutes of the three of them were robbed by Bai Shao at this moment, if they didn't chase, I am afraid that the three of them would have to return to the city, right?
So the three of them set off in a few trees, and according to the traces left by Bai Shiver, they were not obvious. It's just that it's not too early, and the traces left by Bai Shiver after a few hours have passed have not followed the official road, so the three of them chased after each other into a jungle. Once in the woods, it gets darker and darker faster. All the way to the east, the traces seem to have traces of a southward journey. It's just that the sky has completely darkened, and the three of them have walked near an almost dilapidated temple, and Wei Xicheng proposed to live in the ruined temple for the time being, and wait until dawn to discuss it. Anyway, this Bai Trembling doesn't look like a master of escape, and although the traces are not obvious, there are traces to follow.
Thinking that it was already late and he needed to rest, and there was a woman named Wu Liangzi in the team, Jiu Ban agreed to it. Wu Liangzi naturally has no objection, she has already made a mistake once before, but she doesn't want to make it a second time.
The campfire was soon lit. The temple has been abandoned for a long time, but it is still easy to find a lot of dead wood and branches around. The fire rose slowly, and the three of them were now in an awkward position with neither water nor food, as the salute had not been cleaned. The crackling of burning branches mingled with the gurgling of the three of them, and the sound scurried throughout the ruined temple as if it were a symphony, but it was neither pleasant nor pleasant. Combined with the incessant insect chirping outside the temple and the crow crows, it is even more of a mess.
After a long time, it was still nine and a half who spoke first: "Let's ...... What to do?"
"Of course you have to get your luggage back first, otherwise you want to be hungry all the time?" Wei Xicheng replied as he wiped his coat with his double knife. His temper is not very good at the moment, after all, even if he is a martial artist who can temporarily open the valley, but after getting used to a comfortable life, no one wants to go hungry anymore.
"But where are we going? You can't just look around, can you?"
"What are you afraid of, do you have to be controlled and restrained when you catch a thief? If you want me to say, when you catch that Bai Shiver, give him three punches first, let him understand the market, know who can steal things, and who can't. ”
"But let's ...... You won't chase it to the territory of the mantis, will you?" She was quite familiar with the map of the entire continent, and had already left the city of lawsuits, and the place where they met Bai Trembling was the eastern border of the country of the Fierce, and it was indeed easy to cross the border into the territory of the Kiss.
After all, the country of the kiss is one of the three countries that have been allied.
As soon as Wu Liangzi finished speaking, suddenly some different sounds appeared in the ears of the three of them intermittently. What can be heard by almost any ear is that it is a human conversation.
"Evening.... What to eat....." "Not much...... ...... like this"
Everything seemed to happen too quickly, and then footsteps rang out, and then the sound of leaves being plucked. Before Wei Xicheng could shout the words "crow's mouth" in his mouth, the door of the broken temple was slammed open at once, and then intermittently more than a dozen people dressed as soldiers broke in.
The people dressed as soldiers were a little too unprofessional. They were uniformly dressed in armor, but some wore hats, some did not, and some even wore hats resting on their heads or on the tips of their spears in their hands, and there was nothing formal anyway. The skin of these people was very pale, and they seemed to have very little blood, and they all looked like tuberculosis ghosts, and there was no light in their eyes.
When the soldiers entered the ruined temple, they were stunned at first, but when they saw Wu Liangzi, their eyes instantly emitted a greedy light. After all, in this wilderness, how can they let go of such a beautiful girl who is so beautiful and smart?
Before Mei Jiao Niang did anything, these old things began to make meat jokes in their mouths.
When this group of soldiers had just broken into the old temple, Wu Liangzi's expression tensed, and Wei Xicheng also silently grabbed his double swords. Wei Xicheng has basically seen clearly, this is a team of kiss soldiers, a total of eighteen people, basically the size of a squad, but it seems that there are more veterans, so there are a few more people than the usual fifteen-person squad.
Although the veterans in front of him were dangling, Wei Xicheng did not take it lightly. You must know that those veterans who know to deliberately show weakness are much stronger than those strong recruits.
Here Wei Xicheng was spinning in circles in his mind, and the next moment one of those soldiers walked out of the soldiers, swaying left and right towards Wu Liangzi. He muttered as he walked: "Oh, oops, what a little girl, do you want to come to accompany your brothers to be happy, rest assured, and you won't treat your two brothers badly." ”
Behind him, the group of inactive soldiers were smiling as if watching a play.
"Really?" Suddenly, the sudden sound of the ninth half startled the soldiers who came over, after all, this man had been bowing his head and not saying a word since the beginning, and now he suddenly came out of a sentence that directly frightened him.
Unfortunately, after a quarter of an hour of hesitation, the soldier never had a chance to answer.
In the next second, Jiu Ban jumped up violently, he "walked" in front of the other party, squatted down slightly, and then smashed out of the soldier's chin with a punch. The punch hit the opponent's chin with precision and precision, and even punched him directly to knock his feet a foot off the ground. With a successful blow, Jiuhan didn't give the opponent a chance to react, and then a straight punch hit the opponent's lower abdomen. The difference between this punch and the previous one is that Jiu Ban wrapped his fist with condensed qi, if the first punch was just to make the opponent lose his ability to fight instantly, then the second punch was aimed at death.
And this punch also surprised Wei Xicheng.
The kiss soldiers, who had been beaten for nine and a half and two punches, were directly smashed and flew a few feet away, and returned to the middle of the team of kiss soldiers. Needless to say, the remaining seventeen soldiers immediately formed a formation, and they formed a set of unknown formations in an orderly manner, and everyone's breath instantly condensed, as if it had changed several times, and the momentum instantly rose into the sky, startling a group of birds and beasts. It's just that it seems that because the formation is missing a corner, this unnamed formation is very unstable, and there is also a gap.
It seemed to come from the innate fear of the strong, although the aura of this group of soldiers was several times stronger after the formation of the formation, they instantly put on a defensive posture to meet the enemy. After a few seconds of confrontation, one of the soldiers finally shouted:
"Who's coming?!"
And Jiu Ban was standing opposite them at the moment, staring at them dead after almost releasing all his anger, his eyes full of murderous intent:
"Contemptible people, negative princes, nine and a half!"
