"You think you're safe here, but you don't know that danger hangs over you all the time, and that it will kill you at any moment. Old Man Huang laughed mockingly, "If it weren't for this key, you would have died here today, and absolutely no one would have been able to save you." ”

He turned abruptly and pushed his hood back behind his head, and though the room was dimly lit, it was close enough for them to see his face clearly.

Old Man Huang's wrinkled face was also full of scars, and the scars and wrinkles overlapped into strange lines, making a face extremely ugly. The top of his head was bare and without a single hair, but there were scarred yellow scabs, some of which were tattered, and the yellow pus that flowed out had coagulated, which was disgusting. So close, the stench of pus was clearly audible. The smell of medicine filled the drugstore, masking the scars and pus on the top of his head.

Long Dailan's stomach churned, and she couldn't help but vomit.

"This is the punishment of my God. If you dare to deceive my god, you and your children will end up ten times more miserable than me!" Old Man Huang's facial expression looked hideous and crazy, "I will prescribe medicine for you, do you dare to take it?" He looked at Yu Jian again and said sharply, "Do you dare to let her take it?"

"As long as it's a medicine that helps her, it's fine. ”

"Okay!" Old man Huang looked for it in the rows of drawers on the side, opened one of them, took out two packets of medicine from it, and handed it to Yu Jian: "Eat it now, one pack per person." ”

"What kind of medicine is this?" asked Yu Jian vigilantly.

"You're changing your hexagram again?" anger rose on Old Man Huang's face.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take the medicine. Besides, you won't even say what it is, how can it be considered a hexagram. ”

"Hmph, haven't you already discovered that your body's strength is constantly draining, and if you leave my door now, you will soon become a dead person! Not to mention that she, a pregnant woman, may be able to save the baby in her womb if she eats it. ”

Yu Jian was sweating, and Long Dailan realized the reason for his nervousness. She suddenly sensed that they seemed to be in crisis since this morning. Not only did Yu Jian feel that way, but she herself was already exhausted and had difficulty moving?

She was already weak, and she was still pregnant, so she was not so sensitive to the bad feelings of her body, and Yu Jian obviously couldn't lift her breath suddenly, which was abnormal.

They all spent the night in that tavern. When she woke up in the morning, she didn't feel bad until ...... It wasn't until later that she ate a bowl of noodles. The two of them, one of them ate a bowl of noodles. I'm afraid the problem lies in those two bowls of noodles. If the owner of the tavern had tried to murder them, shouldn't he have done it last night? Why wait until this morning?

She was thinking blankly, Yu Jian had already opened the two packets of medicine, and inside was a handful of small black pills, Yu Jian held one and sent it to her, "Swallow it." ”

He made a demonstration, shoved the entire packet of pills into his mouth, and then forcibly swallowed it.

"There's water over there, go pour it yourself. If you swallow it like this, the medicine is dissolved in water, and the effect is good. ”

Yu Jian immediately went and poured two glasses of water, and the two swallowed the medicine.

"Wait a minute, the effect is fast. Old man Huang continued to walk out with the medicine pestle. "It's all on the periphery of the forest, I've been here for many years, and every grass and tree here, what it does, has long been familiar with it. As soon as I saw you like this, I knew that I had been poisoned by the Winter Howling Flower. I picked all the winter flowers in the village, and the villagers exchanged things with me. That kind of flower smells fragrant, and it is usually not dangerous, but in front of the fire, it will produce a poisonous gas, although it is not fatal, but it will make people lose their whole body strength and become weak. If it is poisoned by a pregnant woman, it may also hurt the fetus over time. It seems that some people don't want you to die too happily, but want to capture you alive and torture you well. ”

It turned out to be ...... She suddenly understood. Yu Jian gasped when he heard this, he must have guessed that the strange flower in the corner of the room was the Dong Xiao Flower, which was placed to murder them. They circled back from the brink of death, again.

Over and over.

The owner of the tavern in this remote village is not a good person, and he has been preparing for their lives for a long time, because he is afraid of Yu Jian, and he does not dare to do it directly.

"The owner of this key, since he has delivered you into my hands, wants me to keep you safe. What did you do to get him to help him like that?"

"We want to know too. Yu Jian sat cross-legged on the ground and adjusted his breath.

"If you are able to walk through the forest now, you will indeed be able to get out of danger. At the back of the forest, there will be no one to kill you. Unless you provoke my God!"

"What is the place behind the forest?" Long Dailan couldn't help but ask.

"If he hadn't told you, I wouldn't. When you arrive, you'll understand. Why bother asking?" Old Man Huang pulled back his hood and walked forward with the medicine pestle, "Come on, I'll take you to the forest." ”

After a row of cabinets full of drawers, Old Man Huang opened the door of the pharmacy, and the world outside was still white, but at this moment, it was a little dazzling in her eyes. It was so dark inside the pharmacy that it would be unimaginable for her to stay in it for so many years.

Her eyes were sharp, and she found a person standing under the eaves at the bend in front of her, it was the handsome young man who was exercising in the morning, and she remembered that it was called Zhang Xiaohua. The name sounds like a girl, and he himself does look like a girl. Now his beautiful eyes are looking at them. She suddenly remembered the strange look in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes when she looked at her......

The tavernkeeper's son made it very clear that Zhang Xiaohua only came back yesterday. This little flower probably saw the wanted notice of the shadow figure in Yinggang Town or some other place, recognized them, and stared at them. The owner of the tavern disappeared early in the morning, perhaps he went to the town to report to the official.

Old Man Huang led them to the hill behind the pharmacy and climbed up the mountain road. The snow on the mountain road has been cleared, leaving behind some slush and many footprints, and it seems that people often go into the woods to collect medicine.

She suddenly heard someone shouting behind her: "Master Huang, where are you taking people on?"

Old man Huang didn't reply: "Go and collect medicine." They want to buy some medicine. ”

She turned her head to see that Zhang Xiaohua was running behind and followed.

"You still have outsiders with you to collect medicine, why don't I accompany you, just stay in the store and wait." "That handsome face is innocent, what a boy next door.

"When did you start caring about me, old man?" Old man Huang laughed dryly, ignoring him and continuing to walk.

"If you're going to take outsiders into the forest, that's not going to work. Zhang Xiaohua took a big step and stopped in front of them. "The village has its own rules, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave the forest at will. If something happens, it will cause trouble for the village. ”

Old man Huang waved his hand at him and said, "With me with you, what can happen?" Besides, who can enter the forest, it's not like walking around outside and coming out when you turn around. ”

Zhang Xiaohua stared at Yu Jian coldly: "Old man, I don't think this person is a good person, but a bad person." I can't let the bad guys take our precious herbs. ”

Old man Huang said angrily: "It was my old man who collected the medicine, and he paid for my old man's medicine." You kid take the old man for a bad guy?"

Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to block him from moving forward, "He doesn't buy medicine to collect medicine, and he doesn't need to go into the forest." Anyway, I can't let them in. ”

Yu Jian looked at Zhang Xiaohua strangely: "This friend, we don't know each other, why can't you get along with us?"

Long Dailan replied, "Just because he wants to arrest us." ”

Yu Jian smiled, "What are you going to do with us?" We're just passing by here to buy some medicine, and we're not bad people." ”

Zhang Xiaohua didn't answer, but just stood in front of them and didn't allow them to continue up the mountain.

Yu Jian suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Xiaohua. He wanted the young man to taste some hardship and retreat.

Zhang Xiaohua moved quickly, and when she saw Yu Jian making a move, she immediately took a step back, shook her hands, and suddenly two more pocket-sized hard crossbows suddenly appeared in her hands, one on the left and one on the left, facing her and Yu Jian.

Yu Jian's reaction was faster, and he took a step forward and blocked in front of Long Dailan. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't delay it, and the shot was a killing move, and as soon as the two hard crossbows turned out, the machine was immediately launched. At such a close distance, the crossbow bolt is extremely harmful, and the person who is shot will inevitably be seriously injured even if he does not die.

"Death to the one who hurts his brother!" cried the boy next door.

Yu Jian didn't have a weapon in his hand, even if the dragon mark was still there, he didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only meet it with his bare hands. Between lightning and fire, he was as swift as lightning.

He grabbed one of the bolts and missed the other, and the bolt hit him in the abdomen. It was too close, too penetrating, and the bolt was almost completely submerged in his body. At the same time, his right palm turned into a fist and struck Zhang Xiaohua in the abdomen, this punch made the face of the beautiful young man next door twist and deform in pain, and the person flew straight back.

This punch was full of force, Zhang Xiaohua was knocked several feet away, hit a stone under the hill, screamed in pain, and then there was no sound, I don't know if I fainted, or just gave my life.

Yu Jian clutched his abdomen and squatted down in pain. Long Dailan found that his fingers were dripping with blood, and the blood was like a line of bloodstone pearls, constantly dripping on the snow, just like the red plum blossoms in the plum forest at the entrance of the village.

Plum Blossom Village, blood-red plum blossoms. The flowers are red like blood.

She exclaimed, "Yu Jian!"

At this moment, she completely forgot who they were. She only thought of him, he was injured for her, again and again. She hugged Yu Jian, turned her head and begged Old Man Huang for help, and suddenly heard a noise behind her, only to see seven or eight men emerging from the mountain road, all with guys in their hands, hoes, kitchen knives, wooden sticks and whips, running towards them together.

A middle-aged man saw Zhang Xiaohua who was lying on the side, and ran over with a shout: "Xiaohua!

The tavernkeeper's son was also in the crowd, pointing at Long Dailan and Yu Jian, and said to the others: "These two are what I told you, the felons wanted by His Majesty Long Jun, a pair of adulterous dog men and women!

When the villagers heard this, they were a little eager to try, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and they seemed to be quite afraid of Yu Jian's prestige.

"What are you all afraid of? Don't you see that he is injured! He has been poisoned a long time ago, Xiaohua is fighting for his life, and he is no longer able to do it!" The tavernkeeper's son tried his best to encourage his fellow villagers, "This great wealth was given to us by the spirit dragon to the plum blossom village, everyone has a share, and no one will be less! Brothers, don't miss the opportunity, come on! The spirit dragon bless us!"
