Chapter Thirty-Nine: Sudden Poison Strike
Towards noon, the clouds cleared and the sky cleared.
In the glade in the forest, there was a newly planted birch, and under the tree was a red rope with three bronze coins of Guangwu, which was a mark.
The three of them stepped on the new soil on the side, and Shi Jinlan stretched, "Okay, I can travel all over the world again." ”
Seeing that she had no sadness, Ma Yu was puzzled: "So many people in Lutouji have been wiped out, they are all your neighbors, why aren't you sad at all?" ”
Han Xiangtian was also puzzled: "Aunt Jinlan, how did you become hard-hearted?" ”
Shi Jinlan, who was smiling, said: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, I have lived for forty years, I have been at home all over the world, I have no relatives, and I have never made friends, twenty years ago there were dead people everywhere, I am used to it." Now that the tragedy has recurred in the past few years, I am sad for others, who will be sad for me? ”
When these words came out, the two were speechless.
If you think about the empire's years of war, everywhere could become a battlefield of purgatory.
Ordinary people have migrated and hidden, their hometowns have long been unrecognizable, and they have already set up new homes in other places.
has no sense of belonging to the deer head set, and complains about Shi Jinlan, who came from wandering.
In this land, returning to their homeland is only a luxury for the common people.
Having a corner of the place to survive is already the greatest comfort.
Ma Yu clenched his fists tightly, "When will this damn war end?" ”
Han Xiangtian looked into the sky with a resolute look in his eyes: "Only by destroying the Gilt Light Empire and unifying the Yuanzhou Continent can we create a truly peaceful and prosperous era." ”
In a peaceful and prosperous era, Ma Yu's heart suddenly rose with the lofty ambition to fight for the empire.
Let's ask, what good man doesn't want to make contributions to the country, and doesn't want to level the world and protect the people by himself?
can think of the current situation, Ma Yu denied his idea of making contributions to the country: a half-demon identity, a collaborator and traitor, how can he be virtuous, and what qualifications do he have to fight for this country.
Han Xiangtian's starry eyes suddenly brightened, and he seemed to be inspired by the deepest call in his heart: to seek prosperity and peace for the common people in the world, and to seek happiness for all the people, this is the mission that a martial artist pursues all his life.
"Where are you going?" Shi Jinlan asked, seemingly preparing to hit the road.
Ma Yu said: "I'm going back to find Sister Rou'er, her grandfather died tragically in Lutouji after returning from looking for medicine for me, and I can't let her have anything to do anymore." ”
Han Xiangtian dissuaded: "Lutouji is a big fire pit now, and you really won't be able to get out if you jump in again." ”
Shi Jinlan also didn't understand: "Why are you so stubborn, you little devil, if you go back, you will be sent to death, and you may not be able to find that girl." ”
Seeing that Ma Yu was silent, Shi Jinlan said again: "That little girl is a big ghost, very clever, I think she will be fine, the nearest village is ten miles to the southeast, we can go there to repair it, and find out the news by the way." ”
Under the persuasion of the two, Ma Yu nodded helplessly in agreement.
Just halfway through, Ma Yu, who didn't say a word, was depressed, saw the stone in the puddle, and kicked it hard.
When he was able to lift his strength, his leg suddenly cramped, and the momentum came rapidly, and his face turned purple with sudden pain.
Ma Yu had to freeze in place, trying to raise his arm to relieve the pain of the cramps.
But at the moment of raising his arm, his arm also began to cramp.
Losing his balance, he fell to the ground, his limbs were all cramping, and he could no longer control his moaning: "Hmm." ”
Han Xiangtian turned around and saw that Ma Yu's face had turned purple, and his heart was not good.
hurriedly stepped forward to help, but found that Ma Yu's limbs were as stiff as lead.
"What the hell is going on?" Han Xiangtian shouted anxiously.
Ma Yu was so painful that he could barely breathe: "I...... I don't know why, but all of a sudden, I had cramps all over my body, right...... Isn't it poisonous ......?"
Han Xiangtian's heart tightened, could it be that the toxicity of the fifth day was premature?
Seeing that Ma Yu's state was definitely not due to his own body, Han Xiangtian helped him rub his limbs, and he didn't get better for a long time, so he was sure that it was poisonous.
Shi Jinlan pointed forward, "The front is Bu Zhuang, let's go find a Lang Zhong first, he is a muscle stiffen, and if the blood does not circulate for a long time, it may be necrotic and disabled, and it must be quickly activated and stasis!" ”
"This time the poison attack time is obviously advanced, hold on, Brother Yu." Han Xiangtian picked up Ma Yu on his back and started to run fast.
Ma Yu was extremely depressed, he had just used the undead summoning spirit method after midnight, and now he didn't have time to use the spirit method to detoxify.
It seems that he was too optimistic before, and he also wanted to rely on spiritual magic to resist disinfection before each poison.
Fortunately, the stiffness attack only affected his limbs, and his brain and various organs were not affected.
After about a stick of incense, Han Xiangtian finally ran to the entrance of Buzhuang Village.
There is a row of barbed wooden stakes on the official road leading to Buzhuang, and two ironclad guards are keeping guard.
"Aunt Jin Lan, were there also officers and soldiers stationed here before?" Han Xiangtian asked.
Shi Jinlan hesitated: "Usually, I have seen the officials and soldiers when I come here to buy ingredients, but they all stop here and never garrison in Zhuangkou." ”
Han Xiangtian understood a little in his heart, it seemed that the matter of the wanted two had spread, and it was estimated that the entire Guangwu Empire had already taken action.
Buzhuang residents are good at raising river fish, river shrimp and river crabs, the size of the fish pond on both sides of the village mouth and the crab pond are densely packed, want to enter the village, the nearest path from north to south is only the official road.
If you bypass the artificial water, you have to walk at least ten miles more, and Ma Yu can't hold out for that long.
"Is there any other way into the village?" Han Xiangtian stomped his feet again and again in a hurry, and he even had the idea of killing the Iron Armor Guard.
Ma Yu seemed to see through Han Xiangtian's thoughts, and reluctantly squeezed out a sentence: "Xiangtian...... From beginning to end, we didn't kill a single person in the Empire...... Don't make a mistake for me. ”
Shi Jinlan shook her head, "If you want to enter Buzhuang, this is the road recently, so we can't swim over to avoid the official army." ”
Han Xiangtian looked up at the sky, there was not even a single cloud, and it was easier to be exposed by relying on the release of the locust bird to fly in, and this road would not work.
"It's not good in the sky, it's not good on the ground, do you want me to watch Brother Yu suffer in vain? I'll go and lead the guards away, and you take Brother Yu to find Langzhong. Han Xiangtian stomped his feet, ready to lead the guards away alone.
Shi Jinlan couldn't be dissuaded, and said urgently: "You two are wanted by the whole country, aren't you throwing yourself into the net now?" Do you know how many troops there are in Buzhuang, if there are high-ranking people, you will definitely not be able to escape! ”
Han Xiangtian understands what is at stake, but for the sake of Ma Yu, he is willing to take risks.
No longer grinding, Han Xiangtian strode forward, and said goodbye: "Take care of yourself, we will have a date later!" ”
When Ma Yu heard this, he couldn't help but tears filled the corners of his eyes, and he said incoherently: "Don't ...... Don't go, go back to ...... Come back! ”
Han Xiangtian had just taken a few steps when the ground under his feet suddenly sank, and he jumped backwards alertly.
The official avenue in front of him was sunken, and a sturdy man with a naked body and yellow leather pants appeared in his arms.
The loess under his feet lifted him out as if he had life, like a wave, quite mysterious.
Ma Yu took a closer look, the man had a fierce face, and there was a long braid on the back of his head.
"Yellow Sand Samurai! This is the weirdo who escaped before! Ma Yu's heart contracted suddenly, and he was shocked.
"Everyone, don't be nervous, I can help you enter the bank easily, how about we make a deal." The man's deliberately soft tone was soft, but his rough voice still made people's scalp tingle and his whole body was cold.
The pigtailed man exuded an aura that was even more eerie than a cemetery, and there were no eight hundred lives on his hands, and there was no such terrifying aura.
Han Xiangtian forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, put on a defensive posture, and said sharply: "This is the Guangwu Empire, you are not qualified to talk to us about anything, if you don't get out, I will lead the officers and soldiers to kill you on the spot!" ”
The pigtailed man's eyes suddenly became cold, "The little ghost man doesn't talk big and is crazy, how can he talk to grandpa?" Believe it or not, I'm going to screw your head right now! ”
