Chapter 44: The Killer's Heart
readx;
The scorpion walked on a path with difficulty, with a crossbow bolt stuck in its abdomen, two-thirds of which was inserted into its body, and blood kept flowing out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Carefully hold on to the injured part to avoid secondary injury, and as a result, the wound will tear bigger and bigger.
found a fairly hidden place, put on hemostatic medicine, the crossbow arrow could not be pulled out, the hemostatic medicine was not enough, such a big wound, just bleeding could kill him.
He had to be in the safe house before dark, and he knew that his body, at most, would last until dark, which was already the limit.
That kid was black enough, he underestimated others, and thought it was the meat on his own board, who knows, people have already designed a trap waiting for him to jump in.
The man who fought with himself seems to be a fast catcher, although many of the moves are not from the official, but the long-term head-catching career has also made him more official and less arrogant.
It's ridiculous that he was also named the second biggest killer of Manichaeism, and he couldn't even hit a small nursing home, so he really didn't have the face to go back to see the sect leader.
The instinct for survival drove him step by step towards the safe house that he could already reach.
This safe house is located on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and in most cases it is used as a hiding place for the sect leader, and it has not been used.
So it became his own safe house, where some logistical supplies were placed.
It's loveliest to be alive.
He knows the temper of the old man, the task is not completed well, and it is indispensable to suffer after going back, and if the matter is important, it is very likely that he will lose his life.
He said he didn't keep useless waste.
The sect leader is planning a big event, I don't know what it is, but it is related to the survival status of Manichaeism in the Central Plains, this is certain.
A rebel leader named Thirteen had secretly come several times, and the sect leader had a long conversation with him in the secret room, the specific content was not clear, but he could guess the approximately.
Throughout the ages, all the groups that have revolted have often been demagogic in the name of the church.
Thirteen is no exception.
What he couldn't understand was why the sect leader sent him to assassinate a newly appointed Du Yuhou, to go against the imperial court, this kid probably didn't have that much weight, right?
The only reason that can be explained is that the sect leader has reached some kind of agreement with a certain bigwig in the imperial court, leaving himself a way out.
After thinking about everything, he sneered a few times, touched the wound, and grinned in pain.
There was a ruined temple in front of him, which was where he was going, and after pushing the door open, he saw an old man leaning on the thick pillars of the main hall, looking like he would not live long, and a blind woman was tidying up his makeup, as if it was the last goodbye.
"Who?"
When the woman spoke, her face was slanted because she couldn't see, so the scorpion was even more sure that this was a blind woman.
"He won't survive tonight, if you want to say goodbye as soon as possible, I'm not a bad person, passing by here, it's getting late, just come in and sleep. ”
"You are clearly injured, where did you come from to deceive people?"
"How do you know I'm hurt?"
The scorpion found that since his hands, his IQ had become very low, and he was obviously choking on the smell of blood, and asked a blind man how he knew.
"You smell of blood on your body, and you have a weakness when you speak, which must be a symptom of injury. ”
"Miss has studied medicine?"
"I know a little bit about it. ”
It seems that God did not intend for him to die in a ruined temple in the wilderness, and sent a little girl who knows medical skills to save himself.
I was overjoyed.
Pacing to the bottom of the Buddha statue, there is a button, and with a light press, a stone brick opens in response, and an emergency kit is taken out of it.
Then he sat on the futon, gasping for breath, and after doing this, the scorpion felt that he had exhausted the last trace of strength, and there was no way to heal himself anymore, and his head was biased, and he passed out.
When I opened my eyes again, the daylight was bright, and the sunlight from the window was shining on my body, and I hummed softly and comfortably.
At this time, I saw a blind girl groping over with a bowl of porridge.
"You saved me?"
"You wake up, it's good to wake up, my father finally didn't get through, he left last night, I'm a blind woman, I can't do anything, I hope that after you heal from your injury, help me bury him, this is a condition to save you." ”
"That's easy to say. ”
"You're lucky, the crossbow bolt got into your body and hurt your intestines, but fortunately it's not very serious, sprinkled with the powder you brought, and now it's fine, but you can't move yet, and after five days, you'll be able to get out of bed and walk. ”
"The girl Bodhisattva has a heart, and she will definitely be taken care of by God. ”
The blind girl smiled bitterly, put the bowl of porridge beside the scorpion, and then said: "There is the last bit of rice left, there is a pond behind the temple, wash the copper basin, boil a little porridge, make do with it, and when you can walk around, go outside and eat some good tonic for your body, and the injury will heal faster."
The thief is against me everywhere, when I was born, my eyes couldn't see, my mother died because of difficult childbirth, and my father pulled me up.
It's not easy to live so far, if there is a thief, he should be able to see it, right? Why do I have to bear so many sins?"
The more the blind girl spoke, the more sad she became, and the scorpion looked a little distressed.
But the killer regulations are clearly written, prohibiting kindness.
I don't know what's wrong today, I have pity for the girl in front of me, I'm an orphan, I can't feel the feeling of family affection, and my father must be sad when he dies, right?
After drinking a bowl of porridge, my body felt much better, and I tried to move my body, but the wound hurt my heart and lungs, and I couldn't help but scream.
"Don't move, it's hard to heal from a second wound. ”
The blind girl heard the scorpion's cry, hurriedly wiped her tears, and reminded.
"Thank you for your concern, what's your name and how are you going to live in the future?"
"Let me know my heart, as for how to live in the future, let's take a step and see one step at a time. ”
"My name is Tiannian, you can follow me in the future, if I have a bite to eat, you will have something to drink. ”
"You're going to keep a blind man? I can't do anything. ”
"You saved me, you should repay it, your daughter's family is inconvenient to live, it just so happens that I have a house in Chang'an City, which can be used as your foothold, as long as you live comfortably, you can live forever. ”
The scorpion finally didn't pass his own level, and it can be seen from this point that he is not a qualified killer.
"Then thank you Childe, if I can find my lost relatives, I will move away, and I won't affect Childe. ”
The scorpion planned very well, after the injury was healed, he returned to the foothold of Chang'an City, found an opportunity to complete the assassination mission, and after giving the sect leader an errand, he quit, and the woman in front of him was very good, and it was also good to marry and have a few children.
I plan very well in my heart, I don't know what the final result will be, as long as I work hard, he is tired of all these years of fighting, killing and killing, if it weren't for the sect leader's kindness to him, he would have quit a long time ago.
Resentment seems to be transferable, in the courtyard of the Wu family in Chang'an City, Wu Xi and the other three were sitting in front of a big cauldron, eating hot pot, and shivered coldly.
lacks a lot of materials from later generations, and it doesn't taste so delicious, but Wu Xi is already very satisfied with such treatment.
A piece of tofu fell to the ground, and the yellow dog of the family pounced on it, and took it away, and after a while, there was a roar of hot mouths, and several people laughed.
"You're really going to enjoy it, and when something gets into your hands, it becomes extraordinary. ”
Qingyang Daoist said while calling tofu in his mouth.
"Is there still that meat roll, the poor monk hasn't eaten enough. ”
Monk Zhixin said with a big belly.
"I really doubt if you are really a monk, you don't fall behind at all when you drink wine and eat meat. ”
Wu Xi glanced at the annoying monk and beckoned the servants to bring up the meat rolls in the kitchen.
The butterfly is very quiet, and the food is no different from the women of later generations, and it is finally a little ashamed.
took a sip of wine, handed the wine jug to Qingyang, and when it was passed to the monk, Wu Xi was silently mourning for the wine in the jug, the monk was not drinking, as if he was overdrinking.
The butterfly waved her hand in disgust, and the wine jug was passed back to Wu Xi's hand.
Shook the wine jug, there was no sound at all, fortunately it was at home, if it was wild, Wu Xi wanted to fight with the monk.
After changing the wine jug, the wine jug was passed between Qingyang Dao Chang and Wu Xi, and the monk glanced at it several times, but after all, he was still embarrassed to snatch it.
"When did you notice me?"
After all, the topic shifted to the main topic.
"The monk thinks that you are a good next generation to educate, so the current situation has been formed. ”
"Seeing that you are not people on the same line, why did you come together?" this is what Wu Xi is more concerned about.
One is a royal eagle dog, the other is a Manichaean killer, the monk is kind-hearted, saying that it is the general public, in fact, there are many flowers and intestines on the psychological side, such three people can walk together, it is really a miracle through the ages.
"The purpose is the same, in fact, what you see is the appearance, the Buddha said......
"Well, I don't want to hear what that lump of mud you adore has to say, I just want to know what is in me that deserves your attention. ”
"Didn't you just say that?"
"That's nonsense, even the Buddha is not reliable, and he can't believe what a meat-eating monk says. ”
"It's just a little tired, I ate a meal together, and then I felt that it was like a life, and then I became friends, the old Tao is a rough person, I don't know how to express it, anyway, I look at each other comfortably, I also have a common language, and I have the same purpose, it's hard to think about being together. ”
"Is the purpose you say is me?"
"I've never heard of where you were watered with dung, but I heard that you are a good-hearted person, so I want to pull you in. ”
