Chapter 18: The Unsmellable Blood
Soon, the flower sculpture fell to the open space hundreds of meters outside the village, and looked around in unison, here is probably close to the mountain range, the air is floating in the early morning and the air is full of water vapor, and there is a faint mist around, there is a trace of coolness in this hot summer.
"Let's go, let's go as usual, quickly change the food and leave. ”
Jiang Yuanzi looked at a few people and told them as always.
"Let's go, uncle, I can't hold it anymore. ”
Before everyone could respond, Liu Jing held his stomach and urged anxiously.
Jiang Yuanzi glanced at it and said with a look of disgust:
"You have a lot to do in a day! Remember, when you go to the farmer's house, you will take care of your crops. ”
"Knowing Uncle Shi, then I'll go first. ”
Liu Jing said that he was about to run to a village not far away, but at this moment, Qi Ming shrank his somewhat cool body, looked at the village not far away, frowned, sniffed his nose, and hurriedly ran to Liu Jing to stop Liu Jing who was in a hurry.
"Wait!
Liu Jing, who was already about to come out, saw Qi Ming suddenly stop in front of him, and was angry: "Qi Ming, why are you blocking me!"
"If you want to wait, you will wait!"
Jiang Yuanzi looked at Qi Ming and frowned, and scolded Liu Jing.
Then he asked, "Qi Ming, what's wrong?"
Qi Ming pointed to the village a hundred meters away and said to Jiang Yuanzi:
"Senior, I grew up in the village, and I know the living habits of the croppers best, usually every household should be cooking, but you see, there is no chimney there to raise the smoke of cooking, don't you think it's a little strange. ”
Jiang Yuanzi looked at it, and he could still see the chimneys of the farmers in the faint mist, but when he looked closely, as Qi Ming said, none of the chimneys came out of smoke, and he couldn't help frowning when he noticed this.
Liu Jing on the side noticed Jiang Yuanzi's hesitation, his face was pale, the contents of his stomach did not allow him to wait any longer, and he covered his stomach and said angrily to Qi Ming:
"Can you judge based on this alone? Qi Ming, don't you look at me like this, and you want to fix me. ”
After that, he looked at Jiang Yuanzi: "Uncle Shi?"
Wang Shuo looked at Qi Ming, an imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes, he also grew up in the countryside, and he also found that something was wrong with the village, but he didn't expect Qi Ming to find out, which made his previous worries a little worse.
looked at Liu Jing, and after a while, he spoke:
"Senior Brother Liu is right, wouldn't it be a little rash to rely on this alone, Uncle Shi, this mountain range is so big, it will take at least a few days to pass this mountain range, if you don't replenish dry food, how can the senior brothers survive in the next few days. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanzi's hesitation in his heart deepened, and he looked at Qi Ming uncertainly,
"Qi Ming, this is our last supply, if we pass the rest of the journey, we will have to starve. ”
Qi Ming was stunned, this was something he didn't expect. Looking at Jiang Yuanzi and several people with questioning eyes, he made up his mind and said:
"Senior, you wait for me for a while, and I'll make sure. ”
"You'd better hurry, if I pull it into my pants, I won't spare you!"
Liu Jing urged angrily, and now he is more and more convinced that Qi Ming deliberately corrected him.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yuanzi scolded.
Qi Ming glanced at Liu Jing, took a few steps forward, looked at the village in the mist in the distance, and sniffed his nose again, "Huh~, could it be that I smelled it wrong just now." ”
Doctor, look and smell, Qi Ming's nose is quite sensitive, before when he just came down, Qi Ming smelled a faint fishy smell in the fragrance of the earth, the doctor will inevitably come into contact with blood when treating diseases and saving people, Qi Ming judged that it was the bloody smell of blood.
But now that he smelled it again, the faint smell of blood was not there, which put Qi Ming in a dilemma.
"Are you so good, uncle, I'm dying!"
Just as Qi Ming hesitated and made a difficulty, Liu Jing's urging came again, Qi Ming frowned, and Mu Ding turned to Jiang Yuanzi for a moment and said:
"Senior, I should have been overly worried. ”
"I'll just say he did it on purpose!"
Liu Jing was resentful, and as he spoke, Qi Ming glanced at him fiercely, ignoring Jiang Yuanzi, and ran to the village in front of him with his buttocks.
"It's okay Qi Ming, then let's go. ”
Jiang Yuanzi comforted Qi Ming, and then led everyone to the village.
"Hopefully I'm wrong. ”
Qi Mingluo took another look at the village, and after muttering, he immediately followed.
The surrounding water is very steamy, and the wild grass outside the village is lush, and the hems and shoes of Qi Ming's calves are wet when he walks for a while.
Liu Jing held his stomach and ran not very fast, only ten or twenty meters away from them.
After Liu Jinggang entered the village and ran into the courtyard of the first farmer, Qi Ming and the others were less than ten or twenty meters away from the village.
Qi Ming walked at the end, looking at the village all the time, and when he walked so close at this moment, he could clearly see the situation of the village even if there was a fog.
Walking here, Qi Ming's brows furrowed even more, there was no one in the village at the moment, every courtyard door was closed, and the house inside through the crack in the fence was also closed.
"Impossible, the croppers have always been diligent, why don't you go out at this point!"
Qi Ming muttered, scanning the households, and then he found that there were not even chickens, ducks, farms and livestock walking around in the yards of every household.
"There's no life here. ”
Qi Ming muttered, under the faint mist, looking at this village, his scalp began to tingle a little, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of coolness on his body.
With a sudden flash in his heart, he suddenly determined that the smell of blood he had smelled before was definitely there, and he didn't smell it just now, just because of the rising fog and water vapor, blocking the smell.
"That's not right!"
Qi Ming shouted without any hesitation.
"Ah~"
As soon as Qi Ming shouted, he saw Liu Jing, who had just entered the farmer's latrine, suddenly screamed, and then ran out with a hideous and panicked face with his hands holding his pants that were yellow with feces and even dripping with some kind of liquid.
"簌簌~"
Just as everyone's attention was on Liu Jing, a few subtle sounds of breaking the air hit, and Qi Ming looked at it only to see a few flashing darts stabbing from the village in front.
"Beware!"
Jiang Yuanzi drank loudly, saying that the Qing Xiu sword in his hand was unsheathed.
"Bang~Bang~"
With a few crisp blade strikes, several darts hit the ground.
"Uncle Shi, it's full, it's full of dead people!"
At this moment, Liu Jing ran over, slurred and shouted in panic with a little crying.
As soon as Liu Jing came, a pungent stench followed, and looking at the large piece of yellow on the pants, and the viscous liquid dripping, several disciples of the Tianshan Sect almost vomited on the spot.
Qi Ming covered his nose, his body couldn't help but stay away from Liu Jing, he didn't care about the disgusting Liu Jing, and looked around.
I saw that at this moment, in the woods on both sides in the distance, and in the village in front of me, people in black ran out, and there were many people, Qi Ming glanced at the forty or fifty people.
They were dressed in black and couldn't see anyone, and they all ran in an encirclement with sharp edges in their hands, obviously intentionally, and they had been waiting for a long time.
"Thousand Demon Sect!"
Jiang Yuanzi squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, although he couldn't see their faces, Jiang Yuanzi could still guess who the other party was.
After that, he immediately looked at Qi Ming and the others:
"Hurry up! You guys retreat first, I'll cover!"
Before the words fell, Liu Jing was the first to jump on the flower carving.
Jiang Yuanzi glanced at Liu Jing angrily, didn't say anything, looked at Wang Shuo, Qi Ming and the others anxiously, and scolded:
"What are you waiting for!
"Uncle!"
"Senpai!"
"If you don't leave, it's too late!"
Jiang Yuanzi was anxious and shouted angrily.
Qi Ming glanced at the black-clothed man who was about to surround him, and he didn't think much about it and was about to go to the flower carving, after all, staying with his strength would also add chaos.
But at this time, Wang Shuo grabbed his arm, and without waiting for him to react, Wang Shuo jumped and took him onto the back of the flower carving where Liu Jing was.
Seeing Wang Shuo and Qi Ming on the flower carving, Jiang Yuanzi's eyes were horizontal, and he threw the Qing Xiu sword to Wang Shuo,
"Wang Shuo, this Qing Xiu Sword is good for you to keep and bring back to the sect in the future!"
With that, he whistled with his fingers, and the whistle sounded and the flower eagle flapped its wings and flew high into the air.
"Where to go!"
A man in black who had arrived in front of him, seeing that several people were about to leave with the flower carving, immediately took out a dart from his arms and flew towards the flower carving where Qi Ming was.
"You are really here for Wang Shuo! Thousand Demon Sect!"
Jiang Yuanzi's face was gloomy, and after snorting coldly, a pure white breath in his body jumped into his body, and after stomping on the ground with one foot, he suddenly jumped up and stopped the dart with his bare hands.
The speed of the flower carving was extremely fast, and at the moment when Jiang Yuanzi stopped the dart, the three flower carvings carrying a few people had already flown out a long way.
At this moment, a group of black-clothed people had surrounded Jiang Yuanzi, and one of the black-clothed people who seemed to be the leader stood up, looked up at the flower carving that had flown far away, and snorted coldly:
"Humph!"
"In that case, old fellow, you will die for them!"
Jiang Yuanzi looked at the man in black, a touch of Ling Ran flashed in his eyes, and he laughed:
"Haha~ As long as you don't let the Thousand Demon Sect succeed, what if the old man dies, with my Tianshan Sect Wang Shuo here, your Thousand Demon Sect will pay the price sooner or later!"
Seeing that Jiang Yuanzi seemed to be going to die, the man in black shouted coldly: "Then let's die!"
At this moment, the unison on the flower carving, the mouth was pursed into a straight line, the masseter muscles on both sides were obviously bulging, and they stretched out their heads, looking at the increasingly blurred ground with helpless and sad eyes.
Thinking of so many people in black, Qi Ming didn't dare to imagine what the ending would be for Jiang Yuanzi, who had taken care of him all the way.
For a long time, accompanied by the pungent smell of feces, Qi Ming walked out of his sad mood.
Covering his mouth and nose, he looked at Liu Jing who was handling the clothes in disgust, and then looked at the back of Wang Shuo sitting in front of him, full of doubts and falling into thought.
Qi Ming didn't understand why Wang Shuo chose to be with Liu Jing, let alone take himself with him at a critical moment.
The more he thought about Qi Ming, the more vigilant he became, he wouldn't believe that Wang Shuo, who had the hatred of killing his father, would have good intentions.
"Well, I'll lend you a suit to wear. ”
At this time, Liu Jing's words interrupted Qi Ming's thoughts, and turned his head to look at Liu Jing with a disgusted expression.
Qi Ming was speechless, Liu Jing had already stripped naked, his whole body was naked, his two hands stained with some yellow stains blocked his lower body, and he shrank and looked at him very angrily.
Qi Ming skimmed Liu Jing behind him, the clothes covered with yellow were gone, and they were obviously thrown away by Liu Jing.
"What to see, what to see. ”
Liu Jing blocked his lower body and shrunk into a hard airway, but the more he spoke, the softer his tone became.
Qi Ming glanced at him, took out an old coat of his own from the package, and threw it to Liu Jing.
Liu Jing took the clothes and frowned, "What kind of ragged clothes is this?" ”
Then he looked at his nose again, sniffed and looked disgusted. "What does it smell like, swishing to death. ”
Qi Ming glanced at Liu Jing and muttered in his heart: "No matter how good it is, it doesn't smell as bad as the on your body!"
Listening to Liu Jing's broken mouth along the way, Qi Ming had long been used to it, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, "If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it." ”
