Chapter 185: I'm a professional at making up stories
This sentence had nothing to do with their previous topic, but the man at the head paused inconspicuously, which did not escape Shangguan Li's eyes.
She seemed to have finally opened a sandbag, found the direction, and began to gush.
"The person in the house is indeed my sister, but we are not here to escape, but to avoid being pursued. My father and mother are the doctors of the apricot forest, and our family has lived very peacefully, but because my father failed to cure the son of a rich businessman, he attracted the disaster of death! ”
She gritted her white teeth, a look of fear and resentment in her eyes.
The man looked at her for a long time and asked.
"And what are you doing here?"
Shangguan Li raised his head suddenly, a stubborn look appeared on his face.
"That rich merchant is from Linyang, how can he not take revenge for such a blood feud? But he knew the faces of our sisters, so we didn't dare to rush into the city, so we changed the road and planned to fix it outside the city for the night. ”
The man scoffed, looking her thin arms and legs up and down.
"If it is really as you said, your enemy is a rich businessman who can cover the sky in Linyang, what will you take revenge on you and your sick sister?"
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the person behind him suddenly sharpened, as if he wanted to poke a hole in Shangguan Li's body with his eyes.
Shangguan Li hesitated, but she glanced in the direction of the room and calmed down again.
"I said, I'm a doctor. As long as I am a human being, there will always be sickness in my body, and I will have a chance when the time comes. You're from this village, aren't you? ”
She met the man's oppressive gaze and tried to make her voice sound as calm as possible.
"I promise to leave tomorrow with my sister. I will never do anything to hurt the village, and I will not talk about it. ”
The man was silent and did not speak for a long time.
Shangguan Li was thinking in his heart whether he should pretend that he had never seen the world again, or directly pull his trouser leg and plead, when the man finally said lightly.
"Outsider, you're smart."
Outsiders?
The title was a bit interesting, but before she could think about it, the man said again.
"My name is Chen Sheng, and I am in charge of hunting in the village."
Let's hunt and shoot people by the way.
Shangguan Li's belly scolded, but his face made a look of relief.
"You say you're a doctor, that is, you can heal diseases?"
Without waiting for her to take this breath, Chen Sheng saw this time and suddenly said.
Shangguan Lixin said: I know.
But she looked a little dazed and at a loss, as if she was really asked by him, she was silent for a while, she nodded, and her words carried a little natural confidence.
"Aren't doctors just curing diseases?"
Before Chen Sheng could say anything, there was movement outside the courtyard gate again, as if the village, which had looked like a puddle of water before, suddenly became active.
That's the Elders.
He held a large wooden plate buckled with a large wooden bowl in his hand, and half of the courtyard was separated, and Shangguan Li could smell the aroma wafting over.
The elder seemed to be very surprised that the courtyard was so lively, and after seeing the people inside, he wondered.
"Ah Sheng, what are you doing here?"
He estimated that he was of an unusual status, Chen Sheng didn't speak, put one hand across his chest, bent down slightly, and should have bowed. Then he said.
"As soon as he came down from the mountain, the little cub of the old Ge family slipped his hand and almost shot the guest here with a wooden arrow. Let's take a look. ”
"That's not good, girl, is your sister okay?"
The elder walked over and glared at a young man standing in the corner of the courtyard with his head bowed, this should be the little cub who "missed".
Shangguan Li felt that the scene in front of him was a little funny, and shook his head.
"It's fine."
The elder handed the wooden plate to Shangguan Li, coughed, and said slowly.
"I'm sorry, this should be a compensation for the two girls. It's getting late, don't bother people here, go back quickly. ”
In the latter sentence, he said it to Chen Sheng. The latter originally had something to say, but when the elder looked at it, he had no choice but to swallow it back, nodded, and led the people away.
After the elder told her a few more words about the dangers of the night, and easily not to go out, she also left.
Shangguan Li stood at the door for a while, pulled the wooden arrow from the wall of the grass hut, and then took it into the house with the wooden plate.
"It's okay."
Situ, who had been pale and unconscious before, immediately raised his eyebrows, and a carp sat up from the bed. I saw something in Shangguan Li's hand.
"Wow, is this food?"
Shangguan Li put the things down and opened them to see that they were two bowls of noodles sprinkled with minced meat. Although it is not a mountain treasure, it is simply full of attraction for Xitu, who has been hungry for a long time.
However, she didn't do it immediately, but looked at Shangguan Li.
"No problem, let's eat."
Shangguan Li, of course, knew what she was worried about, and waved her hand and sat down.
"Okay!"
After a ventilation swept away the clouds, the two bowls of noodles were wiped out.
After eating, Situ's mind finally moved.
"That arrow just now, it seems to be deliberate."
"It's not like, it's deliberate."
Shangguan Li's face was a little cold, if she hadn't guessed what the people in this village might do before, and kept paying attention to her surroundings, she really wouldn't have had time to save Xitu by "coincidence".
She rubbed the wooden arrow in her hand, the production was very rough, and there was no iron embedded in the head, even if it was really shot, it was estimated that it would be multiple holes in the body, and there would be no loss of blood and no danger to life.
"But it hurts!"
Situu scoffed at this claim.
"But why are they doing this, is this really Anning Town? It doesn't seem to be as ...... as the legend says Scary. ”
Her words paused, and the word "scary" literally came out of her throat.
Probably because she was full, her eyes began to drift, and it drifted right above her head, on the beams of the house that were covered by withered grass.
Shangguan Li noticed something strange and immediately followed Xitu's gaze to look up.
The beams were not high, and the dry grass wrapped in dust like a blanket to wrap the beams inch by inch, but I don't know if it was because of the wind blowing in from the small window at the top of the house, or because it had not been taken care of for too long.
The blanket of hay cracked an inconspicuous slit, revealing something underneath that glowed with a cold glow.
There was only one candle in the room, and the light was very dim, and it was covered by the shadow of hay growing horizontally, but Shangguan Li could still see clearly.
It was a skull.
Situ's position was so clear that she gasped and almost fell to the ground again.
