Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Appearance of the Clansmen
Dugu Yi and Qin Qin had been away from Qiyuan City for seven days, and on the way, they occasionally encountered people or teams heading south to Qiyuan City to pay homage to Suzaku's footprints, but they didn't encounter any team heading north, let alone the children of the Qin family who were chasing and killing him. It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to rush so calmly, but as time goes by, the worry in Dugu Yi's heart has increased instead of decreasing, just because no matter what he thinks, he has come to the conclusion that Qin Qin's identity has been exposed, and Cai Yi and the others are waiting for orders from the family.
"Qin Qin. Dugu Yi called through the wall of the carriage and stopped the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Qin Qin asked and pushed the car door, but Dugu Yi didn't need to answer, and the scene in front of her told her the answer. The bodies of seven or eight men lay in the middle of the road, and there were two dead horses on the side of the road, and the carriage could not continue without removing them.
Qin Qin only glanced at it, and then turned his gaze to Dugu Yi. "I'm not going to touch them. ”
"I haven't said anything yet. Dugu Yi shouted dissatisfiedly, but in fact, even if Qin Qin wanted to touch it, he wouldn't agree. Such a trivial matter as moving a few corpses did not require Miss Qin's hands.
"Let's do it, then. I still want to rush to Liuyuan Castle today!"
"Yes, yes, yes. "Dugu Yi said three 'yes' in a row before jumping out of the carriage and moving the corpse.
When his finger touched the last female corpse, a trace of surprise flashed in Dugu Yi's eyes, and then he put his finger between her nose and paused for a few seconds before he raised his head and said to Qin Qin: "This person is still alive." ”
Hearing this, Qin Qin walked over to Dugu Yi. "Since you have met her, let's save her. ”
"The injury is so serious, can it be saved?" Dugu Yi muttered but also carefully checked the woman's injury, and only saw a wound in the abdomen when he looked all over his body, but this wound was very deep, and it was fortunate that he did not die immediately, and now due to excessive blood loss, his breath was already faint and almost imperceptible.
"Much lighter than your previous injuries. ”
Hearing this, Dugu Yi was stunned, because he had lost consciousness at that time and woke up without hindrance, so he was not very clear about his previous injury, but the injury of the woman in front of him was clear at a glance, it was a serious injury that could die at any time, and this was not as serious as the injury he was injured ten days ago, so it is not difficult to imagine the injury he suffered.
"I'm still alive!"
Qin Qin glanced at Dugu Yi. "You're alive and well, and she's really dying. ”
"Oh......" After his thoughts were pulled back, Dugu Yi immediately took out the bandages, trauma medicine, and the white jade bottle that Qin Qin had given him a few days ago, since he decided to save people, he didn't care about the precious and miraculous green pills.
Dugu Yi fed the pill to the woman, but did not immediately bandage the wound, but handed the bandage and trauma medicine to Qin Qin. "You'd better help her bandage. ”
Qin Qin didn't refuse, put things aside, and began to untie the woman's wide clothes regardless of the fact that she was still in the middle of the road. And Dugu Yi walked to the other side when Qin Qin took the things.
"Alright. ”
About five minutes later, Qin Qin's voice sounded, and Dugu Yi returned to her and took out the water bladder to clean the blood stains on her hands. The unconscious woman was also wiped off the dust and blood on her face by Qin Qin, her delicate cheeks seemed to have been sculpted, and she was very beautiful, but at this time she was less angry.
Dugu Yi looked back from the woman's face and asked, "Shall we continue on our journey, or shall we wait here for her to wake up?"
"Take her with you, it'll be fine if you slow down. ”
"Good. Dugu Yi nodded, and squatted down to hug the woman.
Qin Qin walked to the side of the road and picked up the two packages that had fallen there.
The carriage moved slowly, not much faster than a man on foot. Although Qin Qin said that she was going to rush to Liuyuan City today, but now that she has one more injury, in order not to let her suffer from any more bumps, she doesn't care about sleeping overnight.
"Uh-huh......" finally a slight sound came out of the mouth of the woman who had been asleep.
Qin Qin put down the book and looked up, while the woman's eyes slowly opened. I have to say that the effect of the green pill is indeed extraordinary, and the seriously injured and dying man woke up after taking it for more than an hour.
"You, you...... Who is it?" As soon as the woman saw Qin Qin, her eyes became wary. She tried to stand up, but before her feet could hit the ground, she fell down weakly again, and then leaned back on the bench.
"W-What is this, what's wrong with you?" the woman's voice was weak, so the stern words didn't sound any deterrent.
The woman asked three questions one after another, but Qin Qin still looked at her without saying a word, as if she was waiting for her to notice herself.
The woman who couldn't get an answer could only find the answer by herself, and after seeing the two packages on the bench, she nervously grabbed them and looked at them, and after checking them, she seemed to remember something, and then in her abdomen, in addition to the pain, there was also the touch of bandages on her fingers.
"You saved me?"
"If it weren't for you lying in the middle of the road, we wouldn't have found you alive. Qin Qin finally spoke, and there was hardly a trace of emotion in his faint tone.
The woman's body trembled, looked at Qin Qin fixedly for a few seconds, and thanked her: "Thank you! I'm Duguyan." ”
"Dugu?" Qin Qin frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to hear this surname, at least not yet.
Dugu Yan noticed Qin Qin's reaction, so she asked, "Have you heard of our Dugu clan?"
"Nope. Qin Qin immediately denied Dugu Yan's conjecture, and then said, "It's just that he happens to have the same surname as you." ”
"He?" Dugu Yan looked at Qin Qin suspiciously. "I don't know who you're talking about, but as far as I know, only people of our clan can ...... on the continent Ahem, ahem......"
Probably because she said too many words in one breath, Duguyan coughed violently.
Qin Qin took out the water bladder and poured it into the cup before handing it to Dugu Yan. "Drink saliva first. ”
“...... Thank you, thank you. ”
Duguyan drank the water, stopped coughing, and changed the topic to another place: "What about the people who are with me?"
"You're the only one alive out of eight. "Qin Qin didn't ask about the 'Dugu Clan'.
"Where's his body?"
"Stayed on the side of the road. ”
"Really?" Duguyan's tone was much lower. "I didn't expect to end up in the wilderness of violent corpses. ”
Dugu Yan didn't say that he would go back to collect the corpse, so Qin Qin naturally wouldn't take the initiative to put forward such a troublesome opinion.
"You're still weak, so get some rest. After Qin Qin finished speaking, he read the book first. In this way, it is said that Duguyan is resting, but it is more like she wants to read a book and doesn't want to be disturbed anymore.
In this way, Dugu Yan did not speak again, and lay back on the bench, but she did not completely rest according to Qin Qin's words, she now has a lot of questions to think clearly. First of all, the identity of the six people who intercepted her, from the clothes and the martial arts they used, it is clear that they are not ordinary robbers, it seems that they are aimed at her, and the only people who know about her trip are people in the family, is it a traitor in the clan? If this is the case, then who is it? The second thing that needs to be considered is Qin Qin, if those 'robbers' and accomplices will inevitably attack again, then she can't drag down this girl who saved her.
Dugu Yan thought of this, so she turned her head to look at Qin Qin again. "You haven't told me your name yet, and though I don't have much power to repay you right now, at least remember your name. ”
"Qin Qin. Qin Qin's gaze did not leave the book. "He's Duguyi. ”
"He?Dugu?" Dugu Yan sat up in surprise, although there was no one else in the carriage, Qin Qin said another name, and there was only one reason that Dugu Yan could think of: that person was the person Qin Qin had just mentioned, also surnamed 'Dugu'.
"Dugu Yi, I've never heard of that name. ”
"I don't think he'd heard your name either. After Qin Qin responded coldly, he finally raised his head again. "If it's really like you said, only people from your clan have the surname Dugu, then I think his existence can't be recognized by your family, maybe he still wants to erase it. ”
Dugu Yi was separated from the carriage by only one layer of wood, and the conversation in the carriage was clearly heard from the beginning. At this time, hearing Qin Qin's words, his body trembled slightly. Immediately, they thought of the curse on their bodies, and perhaps their father and son drove out of the family because of this curse......
"Not recognized, erased?" Dugu Yan repeated these two heartless words in a low voice. "How can you say that, how can you come to such a conclusion?"
Qin Qin was silent.
Dugu Yan suddenly remembered something, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Qin's shoulders tightly, and asked eagerly, "What is the relationship between him and Dugu Hong?"
