Chapter 121: The road at night is difficult to kill
On June 29, a light rain fell suddenly yesterday morning, and it continued to rain for a day and a night, and only then did it stop.
Ning Ke in the mill slowly woke up, saw that he was still lying on the grass, supported his body with both hands, looked at the injury of his left foot, and found that there was a pile of blood-stained cloth rolled next to his foot, and the wound of his left foot was wrapped in a new cloth roll again, and it seemed that the wound had been cleaned again.
Ning Ke secretly thought to himself, this
"Lin Manliu" won't secretly take advantage of himself when he is unconscious, right? Thinking about it, she began to rub her face, and suddenly found that her hair was hanging down naturally, and she reacted that day, the brim of her hat was directly broken by the young man in the short shirt, and the bun was also scattered, and she was exuding her appearance all the way, and her own woman's appearance... Thinking of this, Ning Ke's original good impression of the short-shirted young man helping him deal with his wounds disappeared in an instant, and he began to curse Qi Lin Manliu with resentment.
Suddenly, the wood door of the mill was opened, and naturally Lin Manliu, who heard the sound inside, pushed the door in, looked at Ning Ke and said expressionlessly: "If you can leave by yourself, you will say goodbye here today."
"I..." Ning Ke was just about to speak, and naturally prepared to step on the ground, but unexpectedly, his left foot stepped on the ground suddenly, and the tingling sensation instantly came from the calf position, and the whole person fell back on the grass pile again.
Lin Manliu sighed when he saw this, turned around and walked out of the mill, and without waiting for Ning Ke to continue to speak, he directly closed the chai door.
Seeing this, Ning Ke couldn't get angry, and hammered directly on the grass next to him with one hand, and really felt that this 'Lin Manliu' was simply inexplicable!
The time was until noon, and the chai door was opened again, Lin Manliu didn't seem to see Ning Ke at all, and directly led the two horses out of the mill together, and seemed to be talking to the woman outside, and the sound passed through the chai door and slightly entered the mill.
"More aunts to take in, these are some hearts, and I hope my aunts will accept them."
"This can't be helped, it can't be helped, I was also an aunt before, I felt that Xiaowa you were a bad person, and you wouldn't even let you in the main house... How dare you take money?"
"It's a blessing to have a place to hide from the rain, and my aunt must not refuse."
"I really don't need it, it's better to change clothes for your little lady with these money, I look really cold, you said that you little babies who came out to wander don't want to take good care of the people around you."
...... In the back, it was like the explanation of the young man in a short shirt, and when Ning Ke heard the previous sentence, the whole person had become embarrassed and couldn't listen to the words at all.
waited until the follow-up conversation was over, and the chai door opened again, and I saw the young man in the short shirt walking in with a blank face, picking himself up directly, and walking out of the mill.
Ning Ke looked up viciously at Brother Lin who was talking to her, talking to the village woman outside the door so warmly, when he came to his own face, who was he showing it, such an act, did he ever think that he was not a good person.
Ning Ke was then helped to sit on the back of his horse, and the young man in the short shirt asked, "Maybe he can sit on the horse himself?" ”。
Ning Ke would let the short-shirted young man throw himself on the horseback again, and immediately turned his head and snorted, Lin Manliu didn't answer, and the woman behind him did laugh.
The short-shirted young man smiled at the woman in the house and bowed: "Auntie, then we will leave, or thank Auntie for staying overnight."
Then the woman said some polite words to the young man, and Lin Manliu and Ning Ke continued to hurry.
Along the way, Ning Ke's horse was extremely slow, and the whole person could only sit on the horse's back, Lin Manliu was a little helpless, so the two of them walked side by side, took the reins from his hands, and let Ning Ke hold the saddle by himself, and then galloped away like this.
In the rest process after that, while Lin Manliu threw away the dry food, he informed Ning Ke that he had asked the woman before, the distance between this place and Juzhou City, and the nearby villages that could be contacted, and began to plan the route by himself, Ning Ke did not reply, just listened to what the young man said there, and he could acquiesce.
The two of them hurried like this, and after another three days, the time came to the third of July. Lin Manliu finally saw the Juzhou City that he passed on the way before, where he met his senior sister and met the naughty child like himself, after a few days of rest, Ning Ke's injuries were mostly healed, even the dressing and bandaging of his left leg, the short-shirted boy no longer helped, and let Ning Ke solve it himself.
"Now that you're in Juzhou City, you're getting injured soon, can you be separated, Brother Ning?" Lin Manliu led the horse in front, and Ning Ke sat on the horse's back.
"When I entered the city, I looked for a post station, we said goodbye, bothered Brother Lin for many days, forgive me" Ning Ke also figured out the young man in front of him, he didn't treat himself as a woman at all, but as an enemy who could counterattack at any time, as long as he had a slight crooked thought, he would be killed on the spot immediately.
Lin Manliu snorted, and the two of them maintained this atmosphere and entered the city of Juzhou, and when the two of them walked through the city wall, there were two people at a tea stall on the edge of the city who spread out a picture scroll, and carefully observed the young man in a short shirt leading the horse. "It's been so long that we've been squatting, but it's a good thing to appear, General... Big brother is really clever
One spoke.
"It's good to come, after dealing with this person, I will return to Jiannan immediately," said a person on the other side of the table.
Lin Manliu took Ning Ke to the inn where he stayed in Juzhou when he traveled with the caravan, and when Lin Manliu entered the inn, he saw the familiar shopkeeper, he shouted at the palm, and the shopkeeper also recognized this young man who had something to do with the Qiao family of Sword Casting Peak.
After the two of them shouted for warmth, they arranged a room for Lin Manliu and Ning Ke respectively, and Xiao Huang and Ning Ke's horses were also led to the backyard by the shopkeeper called Xiao Er to rest.
After that, there were no more words, after Lin Manliu sent Ning Ke into the room, he turned around and left, and when he left, he just said that he wanted to look everywhere, and then directly exited the room, Ning Ke naturally didn't care what the young man wanted, endured the injury of his left leg, walked towards the couch position, and fell on the couch before he could sit down.
The young man in the short shirt walked on the streets and alleys of Juzhou City, his eyes were full of scenes he had seen before, and the one in front of him was the place where he met his senior sister and Yun Nian after buying the golden soufflé for the first time, Lin Manliu did not revisit the old place, but walked around all the way, because he noticed that since he entered the city, people began to pay attention to his and Ning Ke's whereabouts.
Walked all the way to a clothing shop, Lin Manliu took the opportunity to enter the shop, and when he was choosing clothes, he began to pay attention to the movements of those people, the short-shirted boy was in the shop, and he didn't come out for a long time, and sure enough, those who were staring couldn't sit still, Lin Manliu saw a sturdy man walking in from the door in the corner, and directly began to look around the whole house, looking for his figure.
Lin Manliu didn't find it immediately, he was still looking for the clothes he wanted, the man naturally found the short-shirted boy, but he didn't continue to observe, but walked straight forward, slowly approaching Lin Manliu, the short-shirted boy alertly left hand began to hold the mountain on his waist.
The sturdy man just passed by the young man, and said in Lin Manliu's ear: "Zishi, the corner of the inn is a story" The man finished speaking or suddenly threw out a small cloth bag, the short-shirted young man reached out and put it into his hand, and after the man walked out of the store, Lin Manliu opened the cloth bag.
There was a small piece of wood inside, Lin Manliu suddenly looked up in the direction of the door of the store, knowing that the person had gone away, and he would definitely not be able to catch up, so he had to hold the wooden block tightly in his hand, this piece of wood was a part of the eight phases made by Mu Tianzhi in the goat dam before... The short-shirted young man began to calculate the travel time of the people in Yijian Villa, as well as the things that might be encountered on the way, no matter what kind of speculation was telling him, these people could not only grasp their whereabouts, but also did not directly make rash moves, and the people in Yijian Villa must be in danger, but they just wanted to use this wooden block to bluff themselves and achieve their goals.
If there is nothing to do in Yijian Villa, they want to act, it is nothing more than to capture themselves, they will let it succeed, and after the short-shirted boy handed over the money to the shopkeeper, he returned directly to the inn.
The young man in the short shirt walked all the way to the door of Ning Ke's room, originally planning to push the door directly in, but after a slight pause, he raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.
"Enter!" Ning Ke shouted directly as if he had just woken up. Lin Manliu pushed the door in, and the moment the door was opened, a teacup came towards the door in front of him, and the young man in the short shirt raised his hand and dragged the teacup directly in his hand, looking at Ning Ke on the couch.
I saw that Ning Ke was opening his mouth to gasp, his unkempt hair hanging casually between his temples, and he was staring at the door with both eyes, and found that it was Lin Manliu who was lying down again.
"What's going on...," Ning Ke gasped.
"I think you also know that we are being targeted, and we will leave in a while," Lin Manliu said loudly.
"Those people are chasing you, not me, what does it have to do with me?" Ning Ke said questioningly.
"Now that I understand, the things are for you, I'm leaving" Lin Manliu threw the clothes in his hand to Ning Ke, then put the teacup back on the table, then turned around and went downstairs to leave, without even entering his own room.
Ning Ke raised the clothes in his hand, looked at the position where the short-shirted young man was standing before, and scolded
"Nerd", even if you buy men's clothes, can you pick up some books and get angry, how can you be that high-spirited scholar again.
Lin Manliu informed the innkeeper, left some housing money, and went to the backyard to lead Xiao Huang to prepare to leave the city quickly.
Not long after he left, Ning Ke changed his clothes, tore his original scholar's clothes into strips of cloth, put them in the baggage, fixed the chopsticks in the room on his left foot, re-bandaged them, and after confirming that they were correct, he also started to move.
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Lin Manliu has been on the road non-stop since he left the city, the sky has already darkened, he knows that those people will definitely be able to detect his movements, catch up with him, he must find a place where he can have more enemies before he is in danger, as long as the terrain is favorable, he may still have a chance of winning.
The boy in the short shirt rode alone and in one ride, and he had already sunk into the mountains and forests, surrounded by crows and magpies flying in the air, and from time to time making birdsong echoes in this silent mountain road for a long time.
Lin Manliu had already walked to a fork in the mountain road, and when he was about to walk towards a place, there was a sudden noise behind him.
It was the sound of several people poking out of the woods, the sound of branches and leaves rubbing
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..." kept approaching the boy in the short shirt.
"Why don't you want to tell me?" shouted one of them. Lin Manliu immediately turned over and dismounted, patted Xiao Huang's belly casually, Xiao Huang immediately galloped forward, leaving only the young man in a short shirt standing at the fork in the mountain road, and without waiting for the sound to continue to approach, Lin Manliu's hands began to move.
Someone in the forest has drawn a knife out of the sheath, slashing at the short-shirted young man at the fork in the road, Lin Manliu lifted the mountain and walked backwards, was holding the spring window butterfly, and the two swords were unsheathed together, and immediately met the mysterious person who was the first to draw the knife, and the mountain field line slightly blocked the short knife, and the spring window butterfly immediately moved.
I saw that the moment the spring window butterfly and the short knife met, the short knife instantly shattered, and the mysterious man was not surprised, and immediately swept back a few steps, and then Lin Manliu saw that it was full of eight people.
"That short sword in his hand is indeed strange!" The mysterious man who had a face-to-face with Lin Manliu before spoke.
Lin Manliu faced eight people, but he didn't mess up, the double sword and horizontal sword were in front, ready to shoot eight people together, only to see one person in the middle of the eight people, the figure was shorter than the others, I saw that the person raised his hand and waved, and the seven people behind him immediately drew their knives forward at the same time.
The seven people had a clear goal and were deliberately avoiding the Spring Window Butterfly in Lin Manliu's hand, and the blade collided with the turquoise sword shadow waving in his hand, under the attack of the seven people, Lin Manliu could still have some strength to resist the first move, but as time went by, the decline gradually appeared, and these seven people and the person who gave the order were different from any of the bandits he had encountered before.
Whether they were out of the knife or avoiding their spring window butterfly timing, they all had a very tacit understanding, Lin Manliu used the spring mountain bamboo surge to forcibly besiege the short knife in the hands of the two people, and then the short knife was broken, but then the two people actually took out a short knife from behind, obviously prepared.
Lin Manliu had a plan, learned from the masked senior in the Buried Sword Valley, swept the Spring Window Butterfly in his hand with a dragging sword style, and then Shan Yexing was upside down and ready to strike out at any time, and the whole person's move instantly became wide open and closed.
But because of this, sometimes the short-shirted boy's arms can't be protected, and those people naturally aim at his arms and swing the knife, Lin Manliu immediately handed the sword forward again, and slashed at the man who swung the knife at him, and the arm also fit the blade and slashed, when the blade slashed through the iron clothes on the forearm, it was impossible to leave scratches on his armguard, let alone directly smash the armguard, and then cut off the short-shirted boy's hands.
