Chapter 120: The Scorching Sun
The leopard pushed aside the weeds in front of him and helped the stone wall out of the cave.
"I didn't expect this secret passage to come in handy."
The sun was blazing, and he couldn't open his eyes a little.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, and leaned against the entrance of the cave for a long time, his eyes gradually becoming clear.
Looking around, he saw that there was no one near and far, so he staggered to the northwest.
The right arm was numb and unconscious, and from the chest to the base of the thigh, it was frying like a fire, and it was still convulsing from time to time.
Every step I take, I feel a lot of pain.
But he didn't dare to stop, and he didn't dare to stay in the cave, this side was still too close to the Fuli Valley, as long as there were a hundred and ten people searching the mountain, he could easily find himself.
And just now he saw a few pieces of fresh dung in the cave, judging from the shape and size of the dung, there must be a beast nearby.
The cottage is falling apart and is in a difficult situation......
The diamond leopard snorted coldly in his heart, "It's okay, as long as Lao Tzu has a breath, there is a chance to turn over!" ”
I have taken Sam Wang, and my body is full of vitality, and my body will soon improve, and even my broken arm can be restored to its original state.
is also a loss to his cunning rabbit three holes, and arrange a retreat in advance, otherwise his life will be decided.
It's just a pity that the foundation of more than 20 years has been ruined by that kid!
Thinking of this, the diamond leopard gritted his teeth.
Sooner or later, this account will have to be settled!
……
Zhao Lin walked out of the mink house and returned to the council hall again.
The bandits on the mountain have been in a mess, and some say that the big boss is dead, and it is recommended to break the gang down the mountain and flee for their lives.
Some also said that there was no corpse of the big boss in the council hall, and they must have gone out of the mountain to move the rescue soldiers, and sooner or later they would come back to revive the prestige of the cottage.
Because of disagreements, several small leaders each pulled a vote, quarreled with each other, and even fought loudly.
Zhao Lin didn't have time to deal with these rabble, so he was killed with an iron ruler when he met him on the road, and he didn't bother to chase after those who escaped.
On the chairs of the chamber there is the smell of a leopard, and there are also smelling martens and their own.
Absorbing the spirit of smelling mink, it is easy to catch various scents in the air.
It's so amazing that I can't even describe it in words.
For example, when the human eye sees something, it is immediately possible to tell whether the colors are red, orange, yellow, blue, black, white, purple, and blue.
Now Zhao Lin's sense of smell is the same, no matter how faint the smell is, it can be recognized at once, just like looking at the lines.
There were a few drops of blood on the ground that had not dried, Zhao Lin walked over, dipped his fingertips in it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
"Good, I remember!"
……
The leopard lies on the kang, with a splint tied to its arm, and hangs it on its chest with a thick hemp rope, and the cloth strips are wrapped around the chest and abdomen, exuding a strong smell of herbs.
There was still a burning pain on his body, but there was a hint of tingling in the pain, indicating that the wound was healing.
This is good.
As long as the body recovers, with your own ability, where in the world can you not go?
However, when I thought of losing to a young man who was less than twenty years old, I was extremely unwilling.
He still can't understand that Zhao Lin was poisoned by a poisonous needle, why is he fine?
It's just that the practice of martial arts is fast, and it is still invincible?
There are so many mysteries in this kid......
The leopard licked his lips, and couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it for a while, and instead looked at the thatched house he was in.
The room was small, the walls were mottled and old, and there was nothing but tables, chairs, and benches.
The few belongings that are there are also quite a few years, and they look older than themselves.
There were only a dozen families in the village, and he stumbled upon them on his way to escape.
It's a remote place, relatively safe, and he can't walk anymore, so he knocked on the door of a house.
At first, the leopard was worried about being recognized, after all, his appearance was a household name in Baektu Mountain, even if he had never seen it, he had heard of it.
Fortunately, there was only one woman in her thirties, and there was no man in the house, so she didn't look like a knowledgeable person.
Because he was afraid of revealing his identity, he threw away the iron-toothed sword and burqa on the way, and only wore underwear on his body, except for his beard, which he didn't have time to shave, and his appearance was similar to that of the former bandit leader.
He told the woman that he had gone into the mountains and encountered a beast and was seriously injured, but the woman did not suspect him, but helped him to bandage his wounds and settle down at home to recuperate.
"Big brother, are you awake?" A plain-looking woman dressed as a peasant woman walked in with a clay bowl.
"Hungry, drink some rice soup."
"Thank you, big sister!"
The Diamond Mountain Leopard grinned, with an innocent smile on his face, and struggled to reach for the bowl.
"Drink slowly, hot."
The woman did not shy away from helping the leopard up and sat down, and the pottery bowl was placed directly in his hand.
The clear soup in the bowl is so thin that you can see the human figure.
In normal times, the leopard would not have looked at it, but now it feels saliva surging wildly, and the Adam's apple moves with it.
I took a sip and it was sweet and fragrant.
"This porridge is so delicious, it has a floral fragrance!"
The Drill Mountain Leopard let out a heartfelt sigh.
"Then drink more, and I'll fill it when I'm done."
The woman had a smile on her face, "By the way, which village are you from, big brother?" ”
"From Sanjia Village."
The Diamond Mountain Leopard casually said a place name far away from here, and only after saying it did he remember that Sanjia Village was Zhao Lin's hometown.
"Are you a hunter or a farmer?" The woman asked again.
"Farming, occasionally going into the mountains to pick a medicine or something."
The diamond leopard glanced outside the door, "Who is in my sister's house?" ”
The woman bowed her head and said, "There is a ten-year-old boy who is an apprentice at a carpenter's house on the other side of the mountain. ”
"Where's the man?"
"Two years ago, I was caught by the beard and went to raise horses, and I haven't heard from him, and I don't know if it's dead or alive."
The woman sighed, "A beard is really not a thing!" ”
The hand of the diamond leopard holding the bowl trembled, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
When the woman saw that he did not speak, she asked, "What is wrong with you, big brother?" ”
"Nothing."
The leopard said unnaturally, "You orphans and widows, life is not easy, right?" ”
The woman nodded, "Who said no!" This year is a good year, but unfortunately there is no man in the family, I am too busy as a woman, and the land is barren. ”
"My family is pretty good, there were more than 100 families in the village, but because of the beard, those who moved moved away, and those who joined their relatives were left to join their relatives, and only those of us who couldn't leave."
The leopard felt inexplicably irritable, drank the porridge in three or two bites, handed it over and said, "Sister Lao, serve another bowl." ”
"Okay." The woman took the bowl and went away.
The leopard stared at the woman's waist and swallowed.
He rarely approaches women on weekdays, and at this time he is injured and has not yet escaped from danger, but he doesn't know why, and a desire rises in his heart.
Although the woman in front of her was rude, she could barely see it.
"You can't stay here for a long time, after another hour, recover some strength, and do it before leaving, just to vent your anger!"
After a while, the woman brought another bowl of rice soup.
