Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 116 - The Game (5)
The clouds were thick, and the arrival of the early morning did not allow the sunlight to shine through the layers of clouds on the earth.
The smoke of the farmer's cooking stove kept rising from the straight chimney of the house and reaching into the sky. Li Changfeng stood outside the house, letting the wind and snow hit him. In the grass house behind him, people kept coming in and out.
Li Changfeng's gaze kept looking at the old beggar standing on the cliff in front of him.
From behind, the old beggar's body was covered with snowflakes, especially the top of his head and shoulders, which had already become a piece of white flower box, and his body was wet with snow.
After a long time, Li Changfeng finally spoke: "Brother Tao, you don't have to be like this, right? ”
The old beggar did not speak, nor did he move.
"Brother Tao, your internal strength has been sealed, if you continue like this, that stinky boy will be fine, and you will also be frostbitten!"
"It's best that kid is okay!"
The old beggar spoke, and Li Changfeng couldn't help but be interested, and spoke again.
"And what if something happens to him?"
"Bloody capital!"
The old beggar turned his head slightly, Li Changfeng was stunned when he heard this, looked at it from the side, and met his gaze, and his heart was even more shocked. Because, since he knew the old beggar, it was the first time he had seen the murderous aura in the eyes of the old beggar.
"Brother Tao, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital, the master is like a cloud. Rash ......"
"Then it's gone!"
Before Li Changfeng finished speaking, the old beggar turned around and gave his own answer, and Li Changfeng froze in place.
At this moment, Guan Shouting rushed out of the house and shouted eagerly: "Two seniors, it's not good!" Wu Kang's pulse is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid ......"
When the two of them heard this, they were shocked, and hurriedly entered the house to check on Wu Kang's situation. The small thatched hut was no more than six zhang wide and ten zhang long.
In the thatched hut, the fire pit is full of firewood, and the heat is constantly coming from the campfire, and a large pot of water is boiled on the fire pit.
In the corner of the house, there are two long couches. Wu Kang, who was poisoned and unconscious, and Xiang Fei, who was seriously injured, were lying on the couch, and Zhang Danshen and others were surrounding the couch. Several injured Jianghu experts were resting on the couch.
The two old men with gray sideburns of the peasant family stood aside at this time, looking extremely anxious.
After the two entered the house, they first bowed to the two old men, and then walked to the couch.
"How's Wu Kang?"
When Zhang Danshen heard this, the tears that were choking almost didn't come out of his eyes, and he trembled and said: "There is no antidote, Wu, Wu Kang's pulse is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't work!" ”
The old beggar looked at Wu Kang, who was lying on the couch, unconscious, with blue lips, took out a bag of silver taels from his arms, turned around and walked to the two house owners, and handed the silver taels to the two of them.
"Passing by here, I disturbed your second elder. I hope the second elder can accept this thin thing. ”
The two old men hurriedly waved their hands to refuse, but the old beggar stuffed the silver bag into the hands of the two and said, "These thin things, your second elder must accept them."
There is still an important thing to ask for in the next, if you don't go back in the next place, this son will die, and the two elders can buy a good coffin, choose a good land, and bury this son! I would like to thank the second elder! ”
The old beggar said that, and immediately saluted the two old men. Seeing this, the second elder hurriedly held the old beggar's hand, promised to accept the silver taels, and let the old beggar get up. After the old beggar got up, he thanked the second old man again.
Then he turned around and said to everyone in the house: "Righteous people, the rivers and lakes are far away, don't pass by!" ”
After hearing the conversation between the old beggar and the second elder, all the righteous people in the house had already guessed the old beggar's intentions.
Hearing that the old beggar said goodbye, they all got up and said: "What difficulties do you have with your predecessors, please speak up, we should follow to the end!" ”
"That's right! If there are any difficulties in the predecessors, you might as well say it directly. We are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and we have nothing to worry about! ”
"That's right! Nothing to worry about! ”
"Senior, you're going to the capital to find an antidote, right? If yes, count me in! If nothing else, one of the people who just died of poisoning was my old friend for more than ten years......"
The man's voice grew quieter and quieter, and he couldn't help but choke.
The old beggar looked at the few people in front of him, and then at Wu Kang who was lying on the couch, turned around and went out.
A group of people from the rivers and lakes followed closely with weapons. Seeing this, Guan Shouting, who was wounded, also went to the side to take the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and went out.
"I'll go with you!"
"Danshen, you stay here for the time being, Wu Kang and Xiang Fei wake up, and they have a good companion!"
Zhang Danshen was about to chase out, but was stopped by Li Changfeng.
"But ......"
"We will come back safely! In addition to Brother Tao, Wu Kang has been a friend of you since he was a child. Doesn't Wu Kang even have a person to send to the end? ”
Li Changfeng patted Zhang Danshen on the shoulder, and went out with his sword. Zhang Danshen listened to Li Changfeng's words, stopped standing in the house, and then hurriedly chased out the door.
When Zhang Danshen came to the door, everyone had already ridden away with a whip. In the vast snowflakes, you can only vaguely see the backs of everyone in the distance.
"Seniors, you must come back safely! I'm waiting for you here! ”
"Huhuhu......"
The sound of the wind and snow became more and more rapid and intense, and Zhang Danshen's shouts were caught in the sound of the wind and snow, and I don't know if the people who went away heard it.
…………
Luoyang, East Palace.
"At the end of the year, the salary is set to take care of the fire; A good year and a good spring. It's time to do it! ”
"Wow!"
The chamberlain stretched out his hand to open the door, and Sima Shu entered the hall listlessly. As soon as I looked up, I was taken aback.
"Yo! My little ancestor, it's all time! You're not gone yet? ”
Sima Shu's exclamation woke up the young man who was sleeping on the desk.
The sleepy-eyed young man saw that Sima Shu had returned, and a spirit got up and said, "Brother Prince, you are finally back!" I've borrowed the armor, let's go, let's go to the barracks to get some luck! ”
Sima Shu looked at the silly sister in front of him, extremely helpless.
"Little Ancestor, you are really my Little Ancestor! Look, what time is it? I also went to the point, and if I didn't stay, I wouldn't even have to sleep! ”
"Your Highness, it's cold on the ground, ...... quickly"
Sima Shu sat on the ground, and the waiter on the side hurriedly reminded him, Sima Shu waved his hand, and the waiter had to swallow the words.
"Huh? No, you promised this princess that you would take this princess to the barracks to order something, how can you say that you won't go if you don't go?! ”
When the girl heard this, she immediately exploded, and as soon as her two fists clenched, she shouted at Sima Shu.
was called by Jia Nanfeng and nagged for a day, Sima Shu, who had already had a headache, couldn't wait to beat the little girl in front of him, but he couldn't beat her.
"My little ancestor, don't worry, what His Highness promised, His Highness will definitely do! It's too late now, I beg you, you go back first, let me rest. Tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely take you to the barracks! ”
Sima Shu got up, folded his hands, and begged to be let go in an almost pleading tone.
"This ...... Well, well, then you can't go back! Tomorrow, early tomorrow morning, I will come to the East Palace to find you, and if you break your promise......"
"Okay, my little ancestor, go quickly! Go back and rest! Close the door! Your Highness is going to sleep! ”
The girl looked at Sima Shu with a tired face, and couldn't help but agree softly. Who knows, before the words fell, Sima Shu nodded again and again, pushed the girl out of the hall, and ordered the door of the palace to be closed.
"Hey! Feed! I haven't taken my armor yet? The armor is still inside?! ”
The girl who was pushed out of the door suddenly remembered that the armor she borrowed was still in the hall, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hammer the door. However, there was no response.
"Your Royal Highness, it's getting late, and it's so cold outside. You better go back early and rest to avoid the cold. ”
Seeing this, the soldiers on duty outside the palace couldn't help but open their mouths to persuade.
When the girl heard this, she had to snort coldly and stomp her feet out of the East Palace.
