The hunters began to rest, and Dugu Zhishui was responsible for cleaning up the grounds. He gathered the corpses of Han Li and the others together, and placed the corpses of the demon fox neatly together. After doing this, he returned to Gu Boqing and sat down, one hand casually resting on his shoulder, and a stream of pure spiritual power flowed into Gu Boqing's body along his palm.

Gu Boqing's pale face gradually improved, but Dugu Zhishui's face was a little dignified, he underestimated Gu Boqing's injury, in addition to excessive blood loss, Gu Boqing's chest was hit hard, hurting his heart.

"I need to go collect some medicine as soon as possible," Dugu Zhishui thought. He stood up, patted his buttocks, looked around for some dry wood, and took some phosphorus powder out of the ring. He piled the carcasses of the hunters on a dry pyre and sprinkled them evenly with phosphorus powder. After doing this, another half an hour passed.

The captain of the hunter, who was pranayama, was awakened by the movement made by Dugu Zhishui, and asked puzzledly, "Little brother, what are you going to do?"

Dugu Zhishui smiled: "Help you destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, isn't this exactly what you want." ”

The Captain of the Hunter's expression froze, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, his voice was cold, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you mean? Could it be that you think we killed these people?"

"Little brother, don't talk nonsense. One of the hunters spoke menacingly and stood up to grab his knife.

"Well, you said it yourself, I didn't say anything. Dugu Zhishui raised his hands, "It should be almost recovered, it's not easy to drag on for an hour." ”

"So you know everything. The captain of the hunter sneered, "It's no wonder that you're looking for your own death." ”

"Giving you an hour is just to prepare this pile of firewood for you, and your corpses rotting here will pollute the land. ”

"Boy, you are looking for death!" One hunter took the lead in the storm, swinging a knife and slashing Dugu Zhishui's head, while at the same time, another hunter swung his knife from the other side, and the two cooperated with each other to attack Dugu Zhishui.

Dugu didn't blink his eyes, only to see his hands move slightly, but in the next second, he had firmly pinched the two broadswords that were slashing at him. The hunters' pupils narrowed, and they tried to withdraw their broadswords, but the blades seemed to be stuck in stone. Dugu Zhishui exerted a slight force, and the two blades broke in response, and the broken blades turned into flowing arrows and instantly cut through the throats of the two. The two hunters who attacked fell in unison, their eyes wide open and their mouths foaming blood. The captain of the hunter was horrified, he took a step back, but did not choose to run away, and in his eyes, the young man who was walking unhurriedly towards him had changed from a lamb to the slaughter into a big bad wolf with a mouth full of fangs.

The captain of the hunter forced himself to calm down, and said as calmly as possible: "I didn't expect you to be the one who hides the deepest. It's just that I'm curious, what is the purpose of you following us?"

"Purpose?" Dugu smiled, "Of course it's to earn a bounty." ”

The captain of the hunter squeezed out a stiff smile, "If it's for the bounty, why are you still fighting us?"

"Hmm...... That's a good question," Dugu Zhishui thought for a while, "Eating people has a short mouth, and there is always something to be returned." ”

The corners of the Hunter Captain's mouth twitched, "How about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

"I'll give you ten times the bounty and let me live. ”

Dugu Zhishui shook his head, "I don't like trouble the most, let you go back, I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life in the future." With that, he held out a hand.

The hunter captain's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong again?"

"I'll tell you a secret!"

Dugu Zhishui tilted his head and asked, "It's very valuable?"

"It's worth a lot of money! I'm telling you, you let me live!"

Say. ”

"The demon fox here is not a mortal species, this three-tailed white fox's spiritual power can be compared to humans, and there are even signs of surpassing humans. I saw a few cubs earlier, and if I can catch those cubs, they will definitely sell for a sky-high price. ”

"It's a pity I'm not interested in them. ”

"You, if you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid of the retaliation of the Archer Hunter Guild!"

Dugu Zhishui's eyes were cold, and his palms swung out a white spiritual power with lightning speed, and the captain of the hunter couldn't avoid it, just hit the center lung, vomited blood and fell to the ground and died.

......

It was midday, and the light through the grid in the window cast bright spots on the side of the bed. The sun is shining outside the window, and there are insects and birds singing one after another, and the ears are endless.

Gu Boqing woke up from a coma, he stared blankly at the ceiling, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses and find that he was not dead. He tried to sit up, but felt weakness all over his body, and at the same time, there was a dull pain in his chest. He tried several times without success, and could only lie quietly helplessly. He looked at the furnishings in the room and found that he was still in the valley, and he couldn't help but wonder. For a moment, he felt that everything he had experienced before might just be a nightmare, and when he woke up, everything was gone, but the pain in his chest and his paralyzed body kept reminding him that it was not a dream. Unspeakable remorse and pain gradually welled up in his heart, and he closed his eyes, his brow furrowed tightly, and he could see the small bag bulging at the edge of his cheek because of the clenching of his teeth.

Chirping......

The hidden door was suddenly pushed open a crack, and a shadow and a narrow band of light were cast into the room, and the outlines of the two furry ears could be clearly seen. The little flower fox probed its brain and walked in from outside, it walked to Gu Boqing's bed, Gu Boqing was looking at it quietly, and a smile appeared on his face. For him, being able to see the little fox alive and well was already his biggest surprise at the moment. When the little flower fox saw Gu Boqing wake up, he suddenly let out a cheerful whining sound, and his ass twisted like a puppy that had not seen its owner for a long time. Gu Boqing stretched out one hand with great effort, and hooked his fingers with his palm facing up. The little flower fox jumped on the bed, stretched out his tongue and licked his cheek a few times, Gu Boqing let it leave a face full of saliva, he smiled wordlessly, and the bitterness in his mouth was indescribable.

The door was pushed open again, this time wider. Dugu Zhishui walked into the room with a bowl of medicine, and saw that Gu Boqing had woken up, and said with a smile: "You have a big life, I thought you wouldn't wake up." He handed the bowl to Gu Boqing, "Come by yourself, okay?"

Gu Boqing tried to raise an arm, he carefully took the bowl, but unexpectedly, his hand slipped, and the medicine bowl fell out of his hand. Dugu Zhishui was mentally prepared, and stretched out his right hand to catch the medicine bowl like lightning. He shook his head and said helplessly: "If you are a beauty, it would be fine, but you are a big man, I have been serving you for five days, and now I finally wait for you to wake up, and I even have to feed you medicine." ”

Gu Boqing smiled awkwardly, Dugu Zhishui handed the medicine to his mouth, he pursed his lips, opened his mouth and drank it in one go. Dugu Zhishui was a little anxious, Gu Boqing was almost choked, he coughed a few times, and felt a terrible pain in his chest. Dugu Zhishui didn't pay much attention, he reached out to touch the little flower fox, but it dodged it very nimbly. Dugu Zhishui grabbed the air with one hand, and said angrily: "You little thing who doesn't know what to do, if it weren't for me, maybe you would have become a young lady's pet by someone in the palm of your hand and ravaged by someone." You're not a big girl, what's wrong with touching it. With that, he leaned down to catch it again.

The little fox whined and scurried around the house, just not touching Dugu Zhishui. Dugu Zhishui's efforts were unsuccessful, so he had to snort coldly, "You are as hateful as another little bastard." What's the big deal, I won't touch it in the future. ”

Gu Boqing looked at the little fox's liveliness, thinking that its mother had just passed away, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, "It's really young and doesn't know what it's like to be sad......."

"What's the sigh for?" Dugu Zhishui rolled his eyes, "I don't know if it's just right to be sad, don't you have to look like it's going to die like you." ”

"You saved me?"

"Nonsense, who else but me is so kind. ”

"Why save me?"

"You're as boring as those dead ghosts. Dugu Zhishui sneered, "Why? Because I want to save it, it's that simple." ”

“......”

"That's right. As if he suddenly remembered something, Dugu Zhishui said seriously: "Although I saved you on a whim, my life was picked up by me, so you have to thank me." ”

"Oh, thank you then. ”

"......" Dugu Zhishui was expressionless, "This is the end?"

"Or else?"

"My bounty was blown for you, plus I saved your life, and I was tired and tired of serving you for several days, so I have to give me some thanks. ”

"How much do you want?"

Dugu Zhishui thought for a while and said, "How can I ...... Well...... 10,000 taels of gold. ”

Gu Boqing was silent for a while, and replied weakly: "I don't have that much money. ”

"And how many do you have?"

"I don't have any money. ”

Dugu Zhishui was angry, "Then you still want to hire me a few days ago?"

"I could trade something else. ”

"What's that?"

"My paintings. ”

"Your paintings are valuable?"

Gu Boqing's pale face seemed to turn red, "A painting can be sold for one or two pieces of silver." ”

“......”

"Believe me, my paintings will sell for sky-high prices in the future. ”

"Hehe", Dugu Zhishui sneered, "Don't fix those useless things, do you have any other valuable objects?"

"Our family has lived in seclusion here for many years, and the gold, silver, yellow and white things are of no use to us. ”

"Your ancestor is so famous, didn't he leave you some valuable things?" Speaking of this, Dugu Zhishui suddenly remembered something, and said with bad intentions: "For example...... Your "Illustrated Book of Women in the World"?"

"No, cough ......" seemed to poke Gu Boqing's sore spot, Gu Boqing was excited and coughed violently.

"Gotta get it, don't get excited, I don't want your heirlooms, okay?" But you've got to show me, it's not too much, is it?"

"Yes. ”

"Also, given your inability to pay your debts. Since I saved you, then your life is mine for the time being, and from now on you have to listen to me, work hard to make money by painting, and strive to regain your freedom as soon as possible!"

“......”
