Chapter 925: Red Fruit
The old man and the little girl got into the carriage and thanked them vigorously. 《
The carriage continued to start, slowly heading towards the road in the distance.
"The two benefactors were really helpful, and the old woman really didn't know what to say. The old man looked very excited, and patted his legs with his hands, as if he was so sore that he could no longer walk.
Dongfang Xiuzhe sat in the car and stopped talking, Fimisha was afraid of the embarrassing atmosphere, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "This is nothing, I don't know where the two of you came from, why did you go on foot?"
"Hey, it's hard to say!" the old man sighed and said with some emotion, "It's not for my unfilial son, it's all tears when I talk too much!"
Fimisha smiled awkwardly, she didn't have the habit of asking others, so she hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "Is this road usually not smooth?"
"Yes, we civilians have been frequented by thieves for many years, and we civilians are frightened, and we can't afford to ask those mercenaries to protect us, so we have to pray not to touch them. Especially in the recent period, I don't know why, many people have gone to the 'Heavenly Fire Cliff', so that there are often fights on this road, and it is terrible to think about. The old man paused for a moment, and asked with some curiosity, "I wonder where you are going?"
"Hehe, we're just going to the 'Heavenly Fire Cliff'!" Fimisha smiled lightly.
"Oh, then you have to be careful, in recent times, the people who go to the 'Tianhuo Cliff' are all fierce and lucky, not the eldest lady has a lot of mouth, looking at you with fine skin and tender meat, you really shouldn't go to that kind of dangerous place. ”
"We have the ability to protect ourselves!" Fimisha felt that the old man was quite enthusiastic, and couldn't help but smile again.
"Can't be so sure, there's a saying, oh, yes, 'open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are hard to defend', the bad guy now. In order to get something for nothing, I can think of any vicious method, which makes it impossible to prevent it!" the old man said with a serious face.
"Thank you for the reminder, we'll pay attention!" Fimisha didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she turned her head to look at the little girl beside the old man, and asked with a smile, "Little sister, how old are you?"
The little girl seemed very shy, and hid her face behind the old man and refused to come out.
"This kid is like this, don't be surprised by the two of you!" the old man hurriedly explained.
"It's fine. Children at this age are in the growth period of individuality, right?" Fimisha looked at Dongfang Xiuzhe with a smile on her face.
Dongfang Xiuzhe glanced at her, and said in his heart: I was shot while lying down!
The carriage moved forward gently, and although the road was not easy to walk, it was not very bumpy because the car was not fast.
As the conversation continued, the little girl didn't seem as restrained as she had been, and every now and then she would ask a few questions. For example: What are you doing at the Heavenly Fire Cliff, are there any other people, are there any valuables that will be targeted by thieves?
It's dark.
However, the road ahead is bright. It was as if there were a lot of people gathered.
"Young master, there seem to be officers and soldiers guarding the front, and many people have been blocked back. ”
At this time, the voice of the ancient alliance came in.
"Strange. There are usually no officers and soldiers here, so what happened?" muttered the old woman.
The carriage slowed down as it got closer and closer to the guarded spot. Loud protests can already be heard.
"Why don't you let us pass, what is the reason. ”
"Yes, we're going to do business, and if we can't get there at dawn, we'll have to pay compensation!"
"A few official brothers, let's be accommodating!"
"It's too domineering, why is the government blocking here......"
There were many people who did not leave and protested loudly there.
"Bold, this is His Majesty's will, you gang of Diao people, do you want to rebel?"
"Your Majesty's will, this road is temporarily blocked, and it is not allowed to go out, and if you violate the order, you will be killed!"
"Who dares to take another step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless with the knife!"
The angry shouts of the officers and men immediately rang out, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense.
Dongfang Xiuzhe in the carriage frowned slightly, he couldn't understand what this emperor with the strength of the Holy Rank was thinking?
Could it be that he wanted to monopolize the treasures of the "Heavenly Fire Cliff"?
However, this move is inevitably too redundant, and those who dare to go to the "Heavenly Fire Cliff" will not be stopped by these officers and soldiers?
"How about this, we still have to rush to Ochiai, can we go back like this?" said the old woman, a little flustered, and looked down at the little girl beside her.
Due to the large crowd gathered ahead, the carriage had to be temporarily parked on the side of the road.
"Young Master, should we go over directly?" At this time, Gu Meng asked tentatively.
Not to mention a few hundred elite soldiers, if they figure it out, even if they come with hundreds of thousands of troops, what use can they have?
Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't say anything immediately, he had been pondering something, and for a while, the entire carriage fell into silence.
"Dada~"
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and it turned out to be the people from the previous "Hutou Mountain", because their carriage was destroyed, everyone had to come on horseback.
"Dodge away, don't you have eyes, do you?"
"Who dares to get in the way again, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Today, my family is not happy, who dares to find trouble?"
“......”
Before the horse arrived, the voice arrived first, these people really didn't learn their lesson, and they were still so arrogant.
When Fimisha saw that it was them, she couldn't help but smile and asked the old woman, "Who are these people, are they very famous in the 'Heavenly Fire Empire'?"
The old woman was obviously stunned, looked at the horses galloping outside the curtain, and said for a long time: "The women have no knowledge, and they don't know who these people are!"
"So fierce, he must not be a good person!" the little girl interjected.
But at this moment, the discussion from outside answered the question.
"Oh my God, the flag...... Can't be wrong, they're from 'Tiger Head Mountain'!"
"My mother, I'm a serious person who deals in small books, and I can't afford to mess with them. ”
"The famous bandits in the area of 'Hutou Mountain', even the government can't do anything about them, how can they appear here?"
"I heard that the people in 'Hutou Mountain' are all extremely murderous and powerful. If you provoke them, you're going to lose your head. ”
"What are you afraid of, don't we have officers and soldiers here?"
“......”
In an instant, the road was out of the way, and all the faint ones dodged backwards in a panic.
There was not much time, and the sound of fighting with the officers and soldiers was heard.
"Oh no, kill someone!"
"The bandits are fighting with the officers and soldiers, and if you don't run, it's too late!"
"Help!"
In an instant, there was a great chaos outside. The sound of shouting, the clash of weapons, the neighing of horses...... All the sounds intertwined, instantly livening up this otherwise silent mountain road.
The battle did not last long, and ended with a crushing defeat of the officers and soldiers, and those bandits from the "Tiger Head Mountain" were already gone.
The road was clear again, but dozens of corpses of officers and soldiers lay on the ground.
"Young Master, we can go over, please sit down!" Gu Meng's voice sounded, and the carriage began to move again.
"I didn't think those people were bandits. Looking at their appearance, they should also go to the 'Heavenly Fire Cliff', but with that kind of strength, how far can they go?" Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled faintly.
"Scared the old woman to death. As I said, the road is not smooth, and sure enough, something happened. The old man patted his chest with a palpitating look.
"Rest assured, sitting in the carriage, no one can do anything to you?" Fimisha smiled and comforted.
"I'm glad I met you guys!" the old man sighed. And reached out and shook the little granddaughter beside him to show comfort.
After the trouble of those bandits just now, the whole mountain road was much quieter. There are also few pedestrians along the way.
"In order to thank the two of you for your kindness, the old woman has some wild fruits grown at home, I hope the two of you don't dislike them!"
As he spoke, the old man took out some bright red fruits from his baggage and handed them to Dongfang Xiuzhe and Fimisha very enthusiastically.
Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't reach out to take it, still thinking deeply, as if he had a lot of questions waiting for him to think about.
Fimisha had no appetite and wanted to shirk it, but the old man threw a pair of "please don't dislike it" eyes.
"Eat it, sister, it's very sweet, you must not have eaten it before!" said the little girl, looking very innocent, and snatched one from the old man's hand, put it in her mouth, and chewed it.
The wheels are on the mountain road, and there is a sound of "rolling and rolling", and from time to time some birds and beasts will come from the valley.
Fimisha looked down at the fresh fruit in her hand, which was as red as the sunset about to set in the evening, giving people infinite reverie.
It was indeed a fruit she had never seen before, and seeing the little girl eating it with relish, she couldn't help but want to taste it, but hesitated.
"Don't worry, these old women have been washed many times!" said the old man suddenly.
Fimisha looked up and explained, "I just like it a little bit, it's not that it's dirty. ”
After that, he was ready to put it in his mouth.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came out of Dongfang Xiuzhe's mouth: "Fimisha, you don't want to know what kind of fruit this is?"
"What kind of fruit is this?" Fimisha looked curiously at Dongfang Xiuzhe, who was a little unkind.
"This fruit is called 'Hundred Steps Broken Intestine Fruit', which is highly toxic and is often used to prepare 'Seven Steps Broken Intestine Umbrella' and 'Wounded Intestine Invasion Pill'...... Although with your physique, coupled with the effect of 'transforming demons', you will not be poisoned, but your fighting spirit will definitely be suppressed, and it will be difficult to expel the poison in a short period of time!" Dongfang Xiuzhe's voice did not carry a trace of emotion.
Fimisa's eyes widened, staring at the fruit in her hand in disbelief.
"This son, you are really joking, I am just an ordinary wild fruit grown at home, how can it be poisonous, didn't my little granddaughter eat it just now?" the old man hurriedly defended.
Dongfang Xiuzhe sneered at the corner of his mouth, and a cold light appeared in his eyes: "Don't play this scene anymore, although the two of you hide it well and cooperate very tacitly, but you chose the wrong target!" (To be continued!)
