Chapter 19: A Snowy Day
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at the source of the darts, they saw a man and a woman standing on the eaves, both wearing veils, unable to see clearly.
"Who's coming?!" Mu Shen reacted the most violently when a disciple died for no reason, and through the mask, people could feel his anger.
"The ones who have come to kill you." The man on the eaves replied.
After that, the man released the flying knife again, and took advantage of the crowd to dodge and flew down directly, but ignored Zhou Song and the others, and fought with Mu Shen instead.
The man was alone, facing many people in the Shenji Pavilion, but he didn't fall behind at all, Zhou Song couldn't think too much, so he could only take the opportunity to escape.
"Now, let's go!" As soon as Zhou Song finished speaking, the woman on the eaves fell in front of Zhou Song again.
"You think it's that easy to run?"
The woman was holding a whip, and Zhou Song had to grapple with her.
Although Zhou Song did not fall behind, he was also inseparable, seeing that the side of the Shenji Pavilion was almost finished, if they didn't find a chance, they would not be able to leave at all!
The insect on Ye Xingchuan's leg is difficult to eradicate in this situation, the insect drank his blood, and it grew rapidly, not to mention fighting, it would be good to be able to stay awake.
Xiao Bei put Ye Xingchuan aside, holding a fan, to help Zhou Song deal with the woman.
He opened the fan, and with a "ding" sound, sharp iron thorns poked out along the fan bone.
The woman brandished the whip, the tail of the whip flexibly wrapped around the blade of the sword, and Zhou Song held the sword tightly and stalemate with the woman. Xiao Bei took the opportunity to throw the fan, the fan was spinning, the knife light was sharp, the woman leaned back to dodge, the fan rubbed the woman's cheek, and returned to Xiao Bei's hand.
Zhou Song took the sword back, the woman quickly stood firm, and the two shot again, but they heard Xiao Bei's voice: "Sister?!" ā
"What did you say?!"
Zhou Song hurriedly withdrew his sword and asked in astonishment.
"She's ......" Xiao Bei just wanted to say something, but the whip suddenly struck Zhou Song again!
"Girl, be careful!"
The blind beggar suddenly came out and forcibly used a dog-beating stick to block a whip for Zhou Song, and the dog-beating stick was broken into two!
"What are you doing out here?!"
"Girl, you go first, I'm here in the way." As he spoke, the blind man blocked the woman's blow again, "I just ask the girl to take the little worm and let him grow up well!" ā
The blind man struggled to dodge the whip, and his kung fu with the woman was far from the same, and he couldn't last long.
"Boss, IāI'm not leaving!"
The little worm ran out and hugged the blind man's thighs tightly, causing the blind man to be whipped in a daze.
"Don't talk nonsense, you hurt Lao Tzu and eat a whip, do you understand!"
The blind man ruthlessly kicked the little insect aside, and before the little insect could get up, Zhou Song immediately carried the little insect on his shoulder.
"Xiao Bei, take Ye Xingchuan, let's go!"
"Big brother blind, today's grace will never be forgotten."
Before Zhou Song left, he thanked the blind man, but the blind man just waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, the girl will remember to bring the little worm to me for a drink in the future!" ā
The blind man never looked back, he stopped the woman again and again, blocked the last whip for everyone, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Boss āā!!"
Zhou Song carried the little insects, jumped on the eaves, stepped on the roofs, left the Zhou Mansion, and left the capital.
None of them spoke, but walked on blindly. The cry of the little worm was left in the wind after all.
"Boy, stop crying, eat this."
After walking for a long time, they finally found a hidden suburb and set up a bonfire. Zhou Song and Xiao Bei caught a few fish in the river next to them, barely satisfied.
"I don't eat it."
The little bug shook its head, still sobbing slightly.
"If you starve to death, how will you go to the blind in the future?"
Zhou Song comforted.
Even though they knew that they would never see the blind man again, the little worm took the fish and took a small bite of it.
Seeing that the little insect had eaten, Zhou Song went to look at Ye Xingchuan again, Ye Xingchuan was already pale and confused, and the insect was already deeply embedded in his flesh and blood.
"Miss Zhou, where are we going next?" Xiao Bei stood next to Zhou Song, the woman made him feel unrelenting, looking very weak, completely devoid of his usual vitality.
"Tongque Mountain," Zhou Song replied, "The people of Tongque Mountain are the best at poisoning Gu techniques, and the Gu in Ye Xingchuan is so vicious, I'm afraid only they can solve it." ā
Xiao Bei nodded, and Zhou Song asked again: "Xiao Gongzi, that woman today, is it really ......?" ā
"I don't know," Xiao Bei replied immediately, "I don't know, it's just, it's very similar." ā
He paused, then continued, "I haven't seen her in a long time. ā
"Well, Xiao Gongzi doesn't need to worry too much, Zhou will definitely help in this matter."
Zhou Song comforted.
Tongque Mountain is located in the Dian Que area, rich in resources, the people of the place are self-sufficient, the tall Tongque Mountain separates the area from the outside world, almost independent, and also resists foreign enemies to a certain extent, it is the only area where Yungui maintains the rule of the matriarchal society.
On Tongque Mountain, there is Tongque Village, which helps the central government to manage the place, and is famous for Gu poison, and the people in the Dian Bird area believe in the goddess of Tongque Village.
At this time, they were thousands of miles away from Tongque Mountain, and even if they traveled day and night, it would take as little as a month or two or three months at most to reach it.
But Ye Xingchuan obviously couldn't wait so long, this long worm would continue to suck blood in his body, and within seven days, he would definitely die.
"What are you doing in despair, I'm not dead."
I don't know when, Ye Xingchuan woke up, he glanced at Zhou Song who was sitting next to him, and said weakly.
Zhou Song sneered: "I'm afraid that you will sleep for a few days as soon as you sleep, dragging us back." ā
Ye Xingchuan laughed a few times: "This worm is drilling in my body so happily. ā
This does not bode well.
Zhou Song couldn't laugh at all: "Ye Xingchuan, you can't die." ā
"Don't worry, I won't die." Ye Xingchuan was very weak, and it was very reluctant for him to say one more word, "Your Zhou family killed my father, you insulted me, Zhou Song, if you don't take revenge with your own hands, I won't die." ā
Seeing Zhou Song nodding, he knew that she had listened, so he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a bottomless dream.
"Ye Xingchuan, Ye Xingchuan, wake up! It's time to get up and find something to eat! ā
Ye Xingchuan was woken up by a young girl, he opened his eyes, he wanted to see the girl's appearance clearly, but he couldn't see clearly, the girl's face was always a blur.
He opened his mouth, but before he could think of what to say, his body seemed to be disobedient, and he said directly: "I know, I will take you to work at the Wang family today." ā
When the girl heard this, her originally cheerful face suddenly drooped, and she sat on the ground again, and did not leave: "I will not go." ā
He smiled and patted the girl's head gently: "I know, are you afraid that someone in the Wang family will recognize you?" ā
As soon as he said it, Ye Xingchuan was puzzled in his heart, when did he know such a person?
The girl nodded, "I can wait outside for you to come back." ā
Ye Xingchuan went to the "Wang family" in his mouth to help them, and after finishing the work, the Wang family gave him some silver taels and food. He checked the things in his hand, and his heart was happy: "Today's pay is not bad!" ā
When he was a child, he often lived like this, doing some work every day, a small amount of money, at least he would not starve to death. Soon after, he went to work as a catcher. When he thought of "catching fast", he instantly felt like a piece of his heart had been stripped away, and he was in pain. Because his father was determined to be a fast catcher, it seems like a joke now.
Ye Xingchuan shook his head heavily, he didn't want to think about these things anymore.
He walked to the village stream, where the girl was lying on the grass, sleeping soundly.
As soon as he was about to walk to the girl's side, the things in his hand were snatched away, and the three teenagers were behind him, holding high the "trophies" they had snatched from him, full of energy.
"Ye Xingchuan, how did you have these things, did you steal them?"
Looking at those teenagers who were messing around, Ye Xingchuan didn't want to say anything, but his body couldn't help but grab it: "Give it back to me!" ā
"Of course we have to keep the stolen things! After that, we'll report to the police! ā
Ye Xingchuan and several teenagers scrambled, and soon, the girl also joined the melee, kicking here, punching there, and finally biting her hand hard.
In the end, they struggled to protect the two buns.
"Ouch, you tap." Ye Xingchuan stuffed the bun into his mouth, and was made to scream by the girl's rude technique.
The girl's hand was a little lighter, and she continued to complain in her mouth: "It's good if I help you get it, don't scream." ā
"You didn't bite it yet."
The girl stopped talking, helped Ye Xingchuan wrap it, and ate the bun silently.
"Your teeth are so bad, they're bleeding."
Ye Xingchuan saw that she didn't speak, so he joked with her.
"I can't use my hands and feet, I can only use my mouth." The girl replied sullenly.
Ye Xingchuan stopped talking, he had something he wanted to say, but he couldn't say anything.
He stared blankly at the night sky, everything around him disappeared and he didn't notice it, he blinked an eye, and came to the yamen again.
"Yamen, how long has it been since you......"
Ye Xingchuan looked down at the trapper on his body, and tidied it up, he remembered that after separating from the girl, he became a catcher.
"Xiao Ye, don't go tonight, don't worry about it, be careful of accidents!" An uncle with a long beard patted Ye Xingchuan's shoulder vigorously.
Ye Xingchuan said with a smile: "Uncle, since there are ordinary people who come to beg us, we still have to go." ā
"Hey, you're just dead-eyed, you really don't take your life seriously!" The uncle sighed and did not dissuade again.
In this case, Ye Xingchuan remembered, first some villagers reported to the official that the family's livestock often died inexplicably, and then some people died one after another at night, without warning, which made people panic, and the government didn't care, these desperate villagers found Ye Xingchuan and asked him to take a look no matter what.
It was about to fall at night, Ye Xingchuan packed up his things and came to the villager's house for help.
"Old man, I'll stay at your house for the night today, and you can rest assured."
The old man and Ye Xingchuan thanked him again and again, and late at night, Ye Xingchuan stayed at the door of the old man's house, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
The cool breeze blows, the rice fields are clustered, and everything shows that this is just an ordinary rural night.
Ye Xingchuan also thought so at that time, and he didn't care about it at all, so he relaxed his vigilance and didn't notice the person who rushed out of the room.
Ye Xingchuan was surrounded by two people, one of whom was an old man who begged him for help. The two of them bit his neck and wrist until he passed out.
After that incident, Ye Xingchuan forgot a lot of things, and his memory was not as good as before.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered Zhou Song's words.
"This insect feeds on human blood, can manipulate corpses, and after sucking them up, they hide in corpses to wait for the next time they eat or reproduce."
Unfortunately, before he could think about it, he fainted.
When he woke up again, the situation changed again, and it was a dark room, and a bunch of big men were snoring like thunder, and he stepped over the men who were sleeping soundly and ran outside to blow the wind.
Armor and weapons were neatly arranged outside, and he closed his eyes, the day he spearheaded the rebellion.
He sat alone for a while, and a woman ran up to him.
"Brother Ye, why don't you sleep?"
Ye Xingchuan smiled: "It's nothing, I just can't sleep." ā
The woman is a stun, they grew up together since childhood, until Zhou Song put him into the palace, they have always been together.
"Tomorrow is the decisive battle, you must be careful."
Ye Xingchuan nodded, but did not answer, he pulled out his sleeves, and there were still tooth marks on his arms that were bitten by the girl back then.
"How did you suddenly think of this?" Ye Xingchuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and lowered his sleeves.
"Brother Ye, what are you thinking?" Duan asked in surprise.
"I'm thinking, if I can't come back in the future, you can find a good family, or do some business, it's okay, don't drag you down because of me."
"Nonsense! You're going to be fine! ā
He has always known Duan Jingzhen's intentions for him, but in his eyes, Duan Jingzheng is like a younger sister, not to mention, he now knows that Duan Jingzheng is one of the children who was abducted and trafficked back then, just looking at her, Ye Xingchuan can't forgive himself.
What's more, there has always been someone in his heart, the little girl who huddled in the corner and was almost buried by the snow.
"Are you still alive? If I'm still alive after the First World War tomorrow, will we ever see each other again? ā
Ye Xingchuan breathed into his hands, it was already very cold, and it was soon the season for him to meet the girl.
