Chapter 34: The Dark Shadow

Previous Chapter

Jiang Shui looked at the tung oil lamp hanging on the pillar opposite, the flames were four at one time, and the three of them yawned constantly.

"Two brothers, we can't drink any more, no one will be able to go back to sleep if we drink any more," said the man.

"I... I'm not drunk, go back to my room and sleep somewhere.. Come on, you want to go, is it Brother Jiang Shui.. Brothers. This wine is really TMD, and I like it. ”

At this time, the dry land dragon was already inarticulate at this time, and he wanted to play a set of boxing skills to give everyone an eye in his interest, Long Zhongyi hurriedly stepped forward to support the dry land dragon who was dancing.

"Brother, we're all tired, let's sleep, let's have another drink tomorrow, do you think it's okay?"

"Brother Shi, you can also come over to help, I can't carry this Brother Zhou alone."

Jiang Shui got up from the stool, and just after a few steps, he staggered to the ground, rolled up the quilt with his knees, and fell asleep.

The strong man couldn't wake up the two several times, so he had to reluctantly carry them back and forth to the back room to sleep.

When this dragon Zhongyi carried the river water on his back, his back was a little painful by his back, he thought about it a little, but he still took steady steps to send the river water to the room to sleep.

He took off his shoes and covered the quilt for the river and the dryland dragon, turned around and closed the wooden door and went back to sleep.

In the dark, I don't know how much time has passed.

In the dream, Jiang Shui saw his father standing in front of him, talking to him with his mouth open, but he just couldn't hear what the other party was saying. In a hurry, he wanted to step forward and grab his father's hand. But as soon as he stepped forward, the old man turned away from him, and no matter how he shouted, the old man just ignored him.

Hazy ..... A graceful girl walked towards him and finally saw her..... With a smile on his face, he asked him why he couldn't see him all these days...... Jiang Shui was about to speak, but she was also seen carrying a bamboo box.... The figure faded away.....

Suddenly, I saw a few shells explode around him, and the firelight illuminated the tower full of gold and silver behind him..... In the thick fog, Liu Yishou and his men flashed in front of him from far and near, covered in blood, and the wounds continued to gush outward.

Jiang Shui's body shook, heh... It turned out to be a nightmare. He had just opened his eyes in a daze, and the door had been opened, just in time to see two black shadows tiptoe to the bed of the dryland dragon, and the light shining through the door shone on a steel knife that had just been raised, and the cold light seeped through.

Jiang Shui hurriedly took out two gold bars from his bosom and was about to throw them vigorously to rescue the dryland dragon in danger.

"Commander Liu, Liu Yishou my good brother Alas, how do you put .... I left it behind.... I think... I want to be with you, too... went...."

A black shadow blocked the long knife that was about to be chopped with his hand and said softly: "Slow, did you hear it, isn't this the name of my master?" ”

Another black shadow said: "Our family has been guarding the back mountain for the Liu Feng family for generations, in order to prevent leaking the secrets of our army's treasures, when I see these two people, I know that they are not idle people, first solve this big man and then kill that young man to prevent future troubles, big brother, we can't be soft!" ”

"Although I have only met Liu Yishou twice, it is in accordance with Liu Feng's secret rules every ten years to visit this master in private, but whenever the patriarch of my village is replaced, I must also report to Liu Feng's two families, I don't know what happened to him, and I will do it slowly."

"Let's tie them up first, and then let's talk about it," said a tall black figure, "If I hadn't eaten two empty eggs on an empty stomach in the kitchen last night, I would have really wanted them to drink under the table just by drinking with them." ”

"You know, my amount of alcohol in the village is also as long as I say second, no one dares to say first, this time the two opened my eyes, it's really a heaven out of the sky, if you don't accept it, you can't do it. Okay, hurry up and find the hemp rope to tie it up. ”

"Whatever, I don't think the kid sleeping opposite is easy to deal with, I helped him to bed, something in his chest touched my shoulder, I felt that it should be a yellow croaker."

When the man heard that his companion did not respond, he said, "Look at this strong man, I will go and kill the boy, he does not drink a lot, and if he wakes up, he will be in some trouble, look at me." ”

The dim light cast the figure of the man on the wall behind him, stretching it long, and the light refracted a bright light on the blade, gradually forcing towards the lying river.

The man walked up to Jiang Shui, pointed a knife at Jiang Shui's chest, paused slightly, and fell suddenly.

The man stabbed on the quilt where Jiang Shui slept.

There was no movement for a moment, and he opened the quilt cheaply: inside, he saw a large pillow pierced several holes by the knife in his hand.

He was shocked in his heart, and when he was in a daze, his crotch was slapped to the root of his life, and he covered his lower part in pain, and fell to the ground convulsively.

"Smack", another black shadow was kicked to the ground by a high whip leg.

Jiang Shui found a small bundle of hemp rope on the railing outside the house, tied the two on the ground into a strong knot, and then patted the thunderous dryland dragon vigorously.

He also had nightmares in his dreams, and when he was disturbed by the river, he sat up with a grunt, rubbing his sleepy eyes with his hands: "Oh, don't you let others sleep if you don't want to sleep?" Belch..... How are there two people on this earth? ”

Jiang Shui brought a pine oil lamp from the hall and shone it on the faces of the two on the ground, and the two of them were also shocked: Isn't this the patriarch and last night's drinking friend Long Zhongyi, why is this?

The dry land dragon is more experienced than Jiang Shui, he calmed down, stared at the two of them with his eyes like torches and asked: "Hey, what are you two doing here in the middle of the night, tell the truth to Lao Tzu, otherwise don't blame me for being heavy-handed." ”

The patriarch and his son Long Zhongyi squatted on the ground, and the two looked at each other and turned their heads away, without saying a word.

"I don't want to say yes, I ask you why you want our brothers to die, you and I are people who have met, there is no injustice and no hatred, I can't figure it out. Besides, it's a matter of course to kill people to pay off debts and pay money, but before the two of us, we didn't even know if your eyes were crooked or your nostrils were facing the sky, what's going on, okay, I almost got stabbed, it must have been a set for us at last night's banquet, and I hate being calculated the most. ”

Long Zhongyi on the ground heard the word "Dry Land Dragon", his eyes lit up and hurriedly raised his head to stare at him: "You are the boss of the Dry Land Dragon.... Veteran King?"

"What total.... What a soldier king. ”

"Tell you that a soldier is a soldier, and a king is a king," said the dryland dragon angrily, "I said that you boy, you are happy with me, right?" ”

"The little one doesn't dare, it's just that I, a countryman, am stupid and can't speak, please don't beat people and don't remember the villain," the patriarch on the ground took over and said.

"I want to ask, Lord Liu Yishou has always been good?"

The dryland dragon and Jiang Shui looked at each other for a moment, and finally as Liu Yishou's confidant, he spoke: "His old man was ...... by the villain Plot against..... .....

"You.... Hurry up and figure out what's going on?"

"He is no longer there, and the person who harmed you has been beaten down to eighteen layers of hell, and he will never be able to live beyond his life."

The old man was stunned for a long time.

"Can the strong man tell the old man the details?"

"Hmm...."The dryland dragon bowed its head.

"Brother Zhou, I see that this old man didn't want his son to take the lives of you and me before, and he must not really be the kind of person who seeks money and kills people, there should be a reason for this."

"Don't be afraid, old man, we won't kill you, I want to know what your relationship is with that Commander Liu Yishou?" Jiang Shui said sincerely.

"Brother Zhou, you loosen the old man's bonds, don't let his old man be scared."

The dry land dragon burned the rope on the old man's body with the flame of the pine oil lamp, and the old man moved his wrists and arms and shoulders, slowly recovering his solemnity as an old man, looking at the two and saying slowly: "Since this strong man said that he is a dry land dragon, I want to ask if it is Commander Liu's person or not?" ”

"Exactly, Commander Liu is like my reconstituted parents."

"This brother, what do you say is the matter with Commander Liu being plotted by a villain?"

"Old man, you know that I am Commander Liu's person, but I don't know anything about your father and son, so you should tell the truth."

"Hey! Forget it, let me tell you this, our village is the descendants of Liu Feng's two generals, Liu Yishou is the current master of my clan, our ancestors have been ordered to guard the road behind the mountain for generations, and those who dare to break in are killed. ”

"Old man, I started a little heavier just now, don't go to your heart, fortunately not.... Oh, I forgot to loosen the tie for Brother Long," Jiang Shui said.

He immediately picked up the long knife from the ground and waved the rope on Long Zhongyi's body lightly, and the rope was broken in unison.

Jiang Shui looked at the single knife in his hand and the scabbard on the ground by the light of the pine oil on the pillar, and he thought to himself, isn't this the one hanging in the living room?!

Immediately, I was overjoyed, and with the fact that I was inseparable from Qingfeng Dao a few days ago, I also had a little more eye for the quality of the blade. For the sharp weapon that emitted cold light in front of him, at first glance, he knew that this was a good knife, a sharp blade for cutting copper and chopping iron. The wide back of the knife, the front of the knife is wide and the back is narrow, the whole body is about three feet long, the knife head is a cutting blade, the center of gravity is in the middle of the knife body, the handle of this foot, both hands are slashed, even if there is a horse standing opposite at the moment, it will be divided into two, this knife is held in the hand, Jiang Shui is not sure a lot, if he comes to the twenty or thirty people now, I will ensure that I am not panicked at all.
