Chapter 36: Peace is no longer over
On the opposite plank road, Zhuge Ming saw the immortals standing with their hands in their hands, and the real qi around them was like clouds.
The next moment, Liu Ruyan also climbed the rope and swung over.
At this time, Zhuge Ming and Bai Zhi's attention was all on Shen Yanchu, and they didn't find that after she came to the plank road, she took out Dr. Zhang's body from the system space.
After doing all this, Shen Yanchu walked towards him, and Liu Ruyan also looked up at each other.
Her face was solemn, and Shen Yan didn't even look at her at first, and walked straight in front of her.
"Stopβ" she asked, "where are you going?" β
Shen Yanchu paused, turned his eyes sideways and looked at her lightly: "Who are you?" β
Liu Ruyan almost couldn't hold back, and she hadn't seen her for a day, and the devil's amnesia was getting more and more serious???
Standing in front of Shen Yanchu at this time was a woman with a cloak and a mess, he looked at it casually, well, I really didn't know her.
"I'm your Liu Ye!" She suddenly thought of something, and pulled the green silk into a man's bun.
Shen Yanchu finally recognized: "Liu Ruyan? β
Liu Ruyan lowered his face: "Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise everyone would have to explain here." β
The one who was almost injured heard the sudden roll call, and he also came out at the right time to show his face: "In Xia Zhuge Ming, thank you brother Tai for coming to the rescue, I don't know, how to call it?" β
Facing Zhuge Ming's eager eyes, Shen Yanchu just deflected his eyes, cold and indifferent, and glanced at him.
Zhuge Ming couldn't help but shudder.
"This surnamed Shen, an unknown junior, is not enough to worry about." Liu Ruyan took over the conversation for him.
"It turned out to be Brother Shen, who is under Zhuge Ming, and the one next to me is the medicine fairy Bai Zhi."
Seeing that Bai Zhi was also present, Shen Yanchu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
At this time, Bai Zhi and Liu Ruyan were standing together, full of tacit understanding with each other, and they didn't even dislike him for no reason.
Shen Yanchu, who was suddenly left alone, felt inexplicably irritable, he silently moved between the two and squeezed the boy surnamed Bai aside.
Bai Zhi: "......" should be dazzling to me.
There was a sound of breaking the sky in his ears, and Shen Yanchu suddenly made a move, shooting a flying arrow from his fingers, which was the one that had been sneaked up before.
The arrows slammed head-on into the dark arrows shrouded in the night, and the two arrows struck each other in mid-air, clanging.
Shen Yanchu pursed his lips lightly and looked at the man holding the bow.
At the same time, Guo Shiquan stretched his bow and pulled the string again under his stunning pressure, and fired three arrows in succession, divided into upper, middle and lower three ways to encircle.
"I can't help myself." Shen Yanchu immediately made a move, swept the wind vigorously, and shot to the opposite shore in the air.
The three arrows broke in response, and a strong and fierce true qi burst out, instantly knocking Guo Shiquan to the ground.
Guo Shiquan finally knew that he was afraid, so he hurriedly got up and hid in the stone alley, lest the other party be ruthless again.
"What, are you still reluctant to go?" Shen Yanchu was aggressive.
Guo Shiquan gritted his teeth and shouted at the villagers: "Let's go!" β
Within a moment, the villagers at the foot of the mountain were deserted and fled, leaving the ground in ruins.
At this time, Liu Ruyan's Zhihai was also accompanied by a prompt tone: "Successfully complete the plot and get two hundred points." β
She looked at everyone: "While there is still daylight, let's rush to Kengkou Village first." β
From the plank road to the village, about 100 steps, a large area of farmland immediately appeared.
Passing through the fields, there are scattered farmhouses, perhaps because at night, the village is very quiet, and a few dogs bark are occasionally heard.
Liu Ruyan knocked on one of the farmhouses, it was the old man who had come before.
After waiting for a while, the old man got up and opened the door, and his face was also shocked when he saw a few people who came to visit late at night.
The old man probed his head and looked at the valley in the distance, and pointed his finger: "You came out of Taiping Village?" β
Zhuge Ming scratched his hair a little crampedly: "We escaped ......"
"Quick, get inside." The old man led Zhuge Ming and them into the farmhouse, and then went into the kitchen, busy boiling the stove.
When he arrived at the tea table, he looked at the body wrapped in a coat beside Zhuge Ming: "This is?" β
Touching the injury, Zhuge Ming's face stiffened, and he immediately covered his mouth and was speechless.
"It's Dr. Zhang from Renxintang, who accidentally caused a heart attack when he escaped." Liu Ruyan broke the silence and lowered her eyes again.
The old man sat at the table and let out a long sigh: "I have a friendship with Zhang Lao for half a lifetime, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have let him enter the valley in the first place, I am really confused." β
His face was full of shame, and he clutched his palms tightly: "Old Zhang is a kind-hearted person, and he has saved countless people in his life, how can he ...... Ended up in this field......"
The old man burst into tears as he spoke.
No one in the room spoke, quietly looking at the gray-haired old man.
The old man turned his face, hid his tears, and raised his head to touch his forehead: "Look at my memory, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen to get some hot dishes to fill my stomach." β
Zhuge Ming also hurriedly got up: "I'll help you." β
In the backyard, several people sat around a table, the table was fragrant, and the old man specially took out the venison that was not much in storage, and put it into the dish with fungus mushrooms, which was a rare delicacy in this winter.
A few people were holding rice bowls and did not put down their chopsticks for a long time.
Zhuge Ming looked at the rice in the bowl and remembered that Dr. Zhang had never even eaten hot rice before his death.
"I'm stunned what to do, I'm hungry for a day, hurry up and eat." The old man said, and put the chopsticks venison in Zhuge Ming's bowl.
Immediately, they also added a piece of meat for Liu Ruyan and them.
After a meal, Liu Ruyan helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the dog barked non-stop outside the yard, she had always been alert and heard the difference in this voice.
"Someone's coming." She stopped and looked in the direction of the door.
The old man got up and walked out: "I'll go out and have a look." β
After a while, the old man went and returned, and said to them: "I have seen the old man, it is said that he came from Taiyuan Mansion and wanted to enter the village to find his master." β
Several people looked at each other, and coldly, the sound of slamming the door sounded again in front of the door.
Liu Ruyan also followed, and saw two men dressed as small servants standing at the door, holding lanterns in their hands.
"My lord came to your village not long ago, and he hasn't returned yet, I don't know how many of you have seen it?" As he spoke, he took out a portrait.
Dr. Zheng?
Zhuge Ming and Liu Ruyan recognized this person as the doctor who was killed by the villagers not long ago.
The old man squinted his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "The old man has seen this person, and he asked me about the source of Huang Zhi's rumors, and then went to Taiping Village. β
Finally found out the whereabouts of the master, prayed for blessing and bowed to the old man, and said with a smile: "My lord came to Youzhou to meet friends, and heard about Huang Zhi halfway, so he remembered the old mother who lingered on the sickbed at home, and her body was not as good as a year. The old man immediately resigned from his friend's appointment and came to ask for medicine for his mother. β
Another servant also continued: "I hope that Master Zheng can fulfill his wish on this trip, so we won't disturb the old man and leave." β
Seeing that the other party was leaving, the old man hurriedly stopped: "You can't enter that village!" β
"What do you mean by that?" The little guy was surprised.
The old man gritted his teeth and simply told him bluntly: "You have been deceived, there is no Huang Zhi in the village at all, they caught your master and tried to do wrong." β
Zhuge Ming also dissuaded: "In Xia Zhuge Ming, it is a doctor, I was deceived by them, I was trapped in the mountains for three days and three nights, no, I just escaped from the village." β
Qifu's face changed a few times: "You haven't deceived me? β
"There is no half-truth, those villagers pretend to be bandits, prison doctors, rob merchant silver, and kill people when they are mad!" Zhuge Ming kindly explained.
"Why did just a few of you escape, my lord?"
"He ......" Zhuge Ming flickered, and he didn't dare to look at this little guy.
"Say it quickly, my lord!" Qifu said indignantly, the paper lantern in his hand shook non-stop, the fire was extinguished, and his face was hideous, "Okay, you dog, leave the master in that kind of ghost place, you still claim to be a doctor, and your conscience is eaten by dogs!" β
The little servants of the Zheng family all scolded, immediately smashed the lantern, rushed into the house, and were tense for a while.
Suddenly, a cold light flew by, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", praying for a cold neck, and a few strands of broken hair were cut off by sharp weapons.
He turned his face, and there was a thin-bladed flying knife stuck in the door frame in his hand.
"Stop."
Pray for blessing and look at it, and see a young man standing behind Zhuge Ming.
"Who are you?" Prayer asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Liu Ru's face was cold, and he looked at the Zheng Mansion with a vigilant face, "These doctors all escaped death, and your master ......."
She lowered her eyes: "Someone has killed me." β
Qifu was stunned on the spot, and his expression was dull for a moment: "You mean, Master Zheng is gone?" β
Liu Ruyan bowed slightly.
"Why is it gone...... Qi Fu muttered, there was a moment of trance on his face, "I was fine before, but I just went out for a trip, why is it gone." β
He turned around slowly: "If you go back, how should you explain to the old lady." β
Another servant heard the bad news for the first time, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, and after calming down, he whispered to the prayer blessing: "The master is dead in a foreign land, and those of us who are not careful to protect the lord of the subordinates are afraid that we will be killed by the rod." β
"Killing pays for life, we can't die in vain!" Prayer said word by word, his eyes swept over the people in the room, and suddenly walked out.
"Where are you going?" Zhuge Ming saw that the man's face was not good, and he asked busily.
Qi Fu glanced back at him: "What, there is a murder, don't you want to report to the official?" β
"Let them go." Liu Ruyan knew that these people would not give up, "There have been several murders in succession, and this matter will become big sooner or later." β
Bai Zhi, who had been silent, shook her head when she saw this, and sighed: "Taiping Village, Taiping is gone." β
