Chapter 022: Xiangshan
They bought a carriage and pretended to be an ordinary eunuch, Luo Shu was the brother, Chu Xiu was the sick sister, Qin Zhouzhou was driving, and Zimeng was the maid, and the purpose of their trip up the mountain was to pray for Chu Xiu.
Rushing day and night, Luo Shu didn't sleep for more than an hour, his eyes were already red, and he could only rely on the medicine of the medicine to support him.
Finally they arrived at the foot of Xiangshan, the town here is very trusting, a few steps and a stall are full of incense candles and other things, because the people outside are famous, there are more people here than Pingshui County, people walk are rubbing each other, and the carriage is even more difficult to enter.
It's difficult, since coming into the town, it's been half an hour, and the carriage has only traveled a hundred meters, every time Qin Zhouzhou just drove away one person in front of the horse, the other person filled the vacant seat again, how can this go!
Luo Shu opened the curtain, he was very irritable, his eyes were full of cruelty, his hand inadvertently put on the window of the carriage, and a small red worm climbed down from the window.
The red bug crawling in has a very clear target, and the people next to it don't look at it, as long as they stand near the carriage, they bite it, and only take a light bite and continue to look for the next one, this slight pain does not let anyone notice.
Plopped, as the first fell foaming, everyone nearby fell one by one, convulsed for a moment before dying with wide eyes.
The panic spread, and the people in the neighborhood who heard the news were ordered to come and check, and when they saw someone they knew falling to the ground, they took it away, and after a while, the road was clear.
Even those who were intact and some of them continued to die afterwards, and everyone felt that it was a contagious disease, and the people from other places could no longer care about going up the mountain, and either hid in the inn and closed their doors, or fled frantically out of the city.
The medicine king's face was pale, the poison king was helpless, they all knew what was going on, this poisonous insect was used by the poison king when he was young, and he killed hundreds of people, so he was notorious.
"The store opened the door and we came to stay. ”
The consequence of this is that even the inn is not open, they knocked on three in a row, but none of them are willing to open the door, it is already the last one on this street, and if they don't open it, they will have to look for it in a farther place.
Still disappointed, still not open.
Luo Shu was furious, and kicked open the door that was closed with a beam, and the arm-thick beam broke in half.
The young man stood at the threshold, his eyebrows and eyes had just grown, and his childish face was a little fierce, he was holding a woman, although he only saw a pair of embroidered shoes exposed, and the ankles on them were as complex as jade, and they were a stunning beauty.
The shopkeeper here is the attitude that ordinary people should have, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, seeing that this door could not stop Luo Shu, he nodded and greeted him, even if he was heartbroken and did not dare to look there.
"Objectively please, please!"
The shopkeeper also came up tremblingly with a teapot, he hadn't seen anyone making trouble in Xiangshan for a long time, and he didn't react for a while, and he was very scared.
"Five upper rooms. "I haven't spoken for a long time, and my voice is a little hoarse.
The wealth was abundant, and Luo Shu threw the ingot of gold on the table, and the gold was taken from the abode of the poison king.
Zimeng was helpless, and reached out to exchange the gold for silver, and in the future, they still had a lot of places where they needed silver taels, and they wanted to save it, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything.
The five of them went up to the second floor, and a pair of eyes peeked out of the crack in the door and looked at them curiously, because it was not easy to be around people who dared to walk outside at this time.
Luo Shu carefully put Chu Xiu on the bed and fed her Xi Dan, which was the food pill that their Legacy Peak used to open the valley, and the Xi Dan was not the best one, so it was necessary to swallow the water, Luo Shu tested the water temperature before carefully feeding her water, the water flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it off for her with his sleeve.
"Rest well. The Medicine King said.
However, Luo Shu took off his coat directly, startling a few people.
"Luo Shu, what are you doing?" Zimeng asked incredulously.
"I sleep here. ”
Luo Shu didn't say whether he slept on the bed with Chu Xiu or he slept on the ground, Zimeng thought he was going to sleep with Chu Xiu, his face changed, he was shocked and annoyed, but in the end he was red-eyed, and he went up and slapped Luo Shu hard, which knocked Luo Shu's head off, and then shed tears, pear blossoms were as pitiful as rain.
"Luo Shu, do you still not understand or do you do it on purpose?"
"Get out. Luo Shu said lightly.
"You!"
Zimeng was angry and wanted to give him another slap to wake him up. Luo Shu was beaten before but because Zimeng was his senior sister, and he was taken unguarded, and this time he would not be easily beaten, Zimeng's hand was held by him and thrown off.
Zimeng almost fell down with the strength of her hand, and the medicine king helped her, she shook off the medicine king, turned around and ran to the prepared upper room, and slammed the door shut.
She was lying on the bed, thinking of the time she had spent with Luo Shu along the way, he was not the slightest strange, and finally remembered that when he was going down the mountain, Luo Shu hurriedly chased after him, and his eyes flickered a little when he looked at Chu Xiu, presumably something was wrong at that time.
She had no sleep all night.
I barely fell asleep when the sky was just slightly bright, but I was immediately woken up by a knock on the door, sighed, and could only put on my clothes to open the door, and it was Qin Zhouzhou outside the door.
"Ahem. Qin Zhouzhou was a little embarrassed to look at Zimeng, he was all in the girl's thoughts, especially her eyes were swollen like goldfish, and she cried all night.
"Go check it out. He said.
Zimeng's hand holding the sword was trembling, did she really want to see the cruel facts with her own eyes, and finally she stepped out.
Stepping into their room, the first thing I saw was a quilt on the ground, which was only suitable for a person to sleep in, and it was messy and made people see at a glance that the person sleeping on the ground was just now, Chu Xiu was still lying on the bed with his clothes closed, Zimeng was happy.
"I'll get you something to eat!" she didn't ask, and trotted to the back kitchen of the inn.
Luo Shu only ate a few bites, picked up Chu Xiu, thought about it and put it down, and found a long cloth to wrap Chu Xiu's bare corners, he thought of the shopkeeper looking at Chu Xiu's feet, and his eyes were full of anger.
There are a lot fewer people going up the mountain than before, but there were no dead people last night, and many people are bold enough to go up the mountain again, in fact, this is a good thing for Luo Shu and they will not attract attention.
It wasn't until they reached the halfway point of the mountain that they knew why the Poison King said that it was not so easy to go up the mountain, not only because they could see some strange people nearby at this time, but also because they had lost their way.
When going up the mountain, the pedestrians walked more and more scattered, and walked to several paths, they chose one at random, and now it seems that those pilgrims may be the disciples of the Xiangshan faction, they saw the identity of Luo Shu and others, and deliberately used tricks to make them go astray.
At the end, an abbot sat on the ground knocking on the wooden fish, and before he could open his eyes, he knew that there were six people coming.
"Donor, Xiangshan only accepts ordinary people, please go back. ”
