Chapter 22: Tiger Mountain
Letting go of the long sword in his hand, Hou Jiuming looked at the corpses all over the ground and frowned.
"Such a big smell of blood will definitely attract wild beasts, it seems that this place can't stay for long!"
Although he is not afraid, if he is disturbed by wild beasts all night, it will be annoying to death.
After packing up his things, discerning the direction a little, he quickly left.
Not far away, he remembered, there was also a cave.
At first, I was going to spend the night somewhere, but I didn't like that the cave was a bit cramped, so I chose to give up.
Now, there is no place to live, so I can only go anywhere.
…………
With memory, I avoided the beasts that followed the smell of blood, and spent half an hour to come to the cave.
However, as soon as he reached the vicinity of the cave, he stopped.
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
The reason why Hou Jiuming stopped was because he heard faint breathing in the cave.
With his medical skills, he knew that the people in the cave were seriously injured.
In the words of the bandits, it is concluded that the person in the cave is likely to be the so-called Imperial Guard.
"Forget it, let's go check it out!"
was injured by a group of bandits, and he shouldn't be a powerful person.
Coupled with the injury, there is no threat at all.
Without hiding his footsteps, he swaggered towards the cave.
At the same time, Shi Zhongquan, who was resting in the cave, suddenly woke up.
Following the prestige, I saw in the distance, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly, walking slowly in the moonlight.
"Chasing soldiers?"
As soon as the idea emerged, it was rejected.
"It shouldn't be a chasing soldier, alone, swaggering in the deep mountains and old forests, those chasing soldiers are not so bold and careless!"
"Since it's not a chaser, it's probably someone passing by."
After some thought, Shi Zhongquan decided to wait and see what happened.
But then, fear rose in his heart that the man had come to the cave.
"Is it really a chaser?"
As the figure approached, Shi Zhongquan was worried, but he found that the comer was a little familiar.
Just as he was wondering, a surprised voice sounded.
"Is that you?"
As he approached the cave, Hou Jiuming saw clearly who the people in the cave were by the moonlight.
Although the cave was dimly lit, his eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, and even then he could see clearly.
Therefore, at first glance, I recognized the person inside as Shi Zhongquan, who was saved by accident last time.
"Eun Gong?"
Although Shi Zhongquan still couldn't see the face of the visitor clearly, it didn't take long for him to forget, and he naturally wouldn't forget his former life-saving benefactor.
"Hehe, you guy is really unlucky, every time I see you, I am chased and killed until I am seriously injured!"
Hou Jiuming laughed irrepressibly.
"Ugh!" Shi Zhongquan, who was enduring the pain and getting up and preparing to greet him, heard this, and was directly stunned in embarrassment.
However, it was quickly recovered.
"Let Eun Gongjian smile!"
"Don't get up, I was just looking for a temporary place to spend the night, I was in another cave, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by a group of bandits!"
Hou Jiuming walked into the cave, stopped the injured Shi Zhongquan from getting up, and explained the reason for his arrival.
Hearing this, Shi Zhongquan was even more embarrassed.
"It's me who has been involved with Engong!"
Hou Jiuming didn't answer this, but asked, "How could you be chased and killed by mountain bandits?" ”
Hearing the inquiry, Shi Zhongquan's originally embarrassed expression immediately changed, with unforgettable hatred,
"The last time I escorted the disaster food, I was robbed by this group of bold mountain bandits, I followed the clues to find out, but I didn't expect that the other party had already ambushed, so that it fell to the point where it is now!"
Hou Jiuming: "......? ”
"Didn't you report to the imperial court, according to the time, people should have come, and you didn't tell them the news of your investigation?"
"Yes, but they don't believe that a group of bandits premeditated to rob the disaster food."
After hearing his words, Hou Jiuming couldn't help but shake his head.
The situation should be complicated, and he doesn't know what happened, so he can't guess.
Besides, it's none of his business, what the hell is he doing?
"Okay, I'll talk about the investigation later, you better take care of your injuries!"
He took out a bottle of trauma medicine from his bosom and handed it out.
Shi Zhong was full of excitement as a result of the wound medicine.
Ever since he had used Hou Jiuming's wound medicine, he was shocked.
The last time I had such a serious injury, after taking the medicine, it was only half a month, and I fully recovered.
It's just amazing.
Therefore, this time when I saw the medicine handed over by Hou Jiuming, I was not embarrassed or anything, and took it with both hands like a treasure.
"Thank you, Engong, I don't know how to thank you for such a great favor."
Hou Jiuming waved his hand and motioned for the other party to bandage the wound, while he found a clean place at the edge of the cave and sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.
…………
In the next few days, Hou Jiuming did not rush immediately.
Instead, he stayed in the cave for a while.
Met twice in a row, it can be regarded as fate, and if you can help, you can help.
It doesn't take much anyway.
Such behavior moved Shi Zhongquan.
Pingshui met, and he was involved twice, but he didn't expect that the other party not only did not dislike it, but helped him so much, he didn't know what to say.
I can only secretly swear in my heart that if I have a place to get him in the future, I will do my best to repay this kindness with all my might.
Under Hou Jiuming's special trauma medicine, Shi Zhongquan's injuries recovered quickly.
In just five days, the wound was all healed, and the blood scab was formed, and the rest only needed to recover slowly, and it would not take long for the full recovery.
And now, he can be regarded as having the power to protect himself.
So, Hou Jiuming proposed his farewell.
After all, I still have important things to do when I enter the mountain this time.
…………
Saying goodbye to Shi Zhongquan, Hou Jiuming embarked on the journey again.
It may be the reason for being familiar with it for a few days in the mountain forest.
This time, he was very cautious though.
But there is no longer the cautious posture at the beginning, looking at the three sides when walking.
If you encounter a beast along the way, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you can kill it.
In addition, I also found a lot of precious medicinal materials in the process of hurrying.
However, there was no rush to pick.
Instead, make a note of the location, and when you're ready to come back, drop by.
In this way, after concentrating on the road, it took three days to finally come to the vicinity of the Tiger Mountain in the mouth of the Orion Medicine Farmer.
Stand on a hill 10,000 meters away from Tiger Mountain and look out.
I saw that the tiger was about a thousand meters high, the mountain wall was steep, and the strange rocks were craggy.
The lower half is no different from the rest of the place, it is covered with vegetation and is verdant
But the upper half is sparsely vegetated, and only a few pines and cypresses are struggling in a few stone crevices.
On the whole, only the part of the mountain looks a bit like a tiger because of the unevenness.
At this time, there are no birds in the Tiger Mountain, there is no sound of beasts in the forest, and the end is quiet and abnormal.
