Chapter 4: Three Witch Cities
"The little brother's name is Qin Sang, follow the shopkeeper to be a buddy, this time he went out to buy goods and was caught by a group of bandits, yesterday those bandits met a mortal enemy, the little brother took advantage of the chaos to escape but got lost, and his leg was also injured, he could only drift in the river with the help of a raft, but he didn't expect to drift into the river after falling asleep, fortunately, you came to the rescue......"
Qin Sang sat on the deck, surrounded by a strong man with a sword at his waist, wrapped in an old cotton coat, regaining some warmth, and whispering his origin.
The man who got off the boat to save Qin Sang stood in front of him, this person was about forty years old, with a thin face, and he looked like a scholar. He was dressed like other strong men, with cloud boots on his feet, wearing a cyan power suit, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his posture was very upright, and he looked very capable.
After treading water for a long time, this person's whole body was still refreshed, and only the soles of his shoes were stained with water.
The other strong men respected him very much, calling him the White Boss, who should be their commander.
This kind of character can't be the water bandits of the Boat Gang Listening to their words, it looks like a guard, Qin Sang relaxed a little.
When telling the reason, Qin Sang subconsciously hid the period of meeting immortals, and when he calmed down, he realized that although this white boss was not a mortal, he was far from an immortal master who could fly with a sword.
"Jiang Xin's meeting is fate, and extending a helping hand is also a proper duty, there is no need to mention any kindness! My surname is Jiang Lan, a few years older than Qin'......s little brother, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Brother Bai."
Boss Bai's words were also a little chivalrous, he squatted down, his eyes swept over the large blood stains on Qin Sang's chest, and said with a smile: "When I saw you, you were lying motionless on the raft, I thought there was a corpse on the raft, but fortunately you sat up by yourself...... Here, I'll help you take a look at your leg injury. ”
As he spoke, Bai Jianglan put his hand on Qin Sang's calf and closed his eyes slightly.
After a while, Qin Sang suddenly felt a warm current leak out of Bai Jianglan's fingers, into his calves, and then along the blood vessels, and finally spread to his whole body, under the infiltration of that warm current, the cold and damp qi on his body was swept away.
The warm current swam around his body, and then reunited in the wounded area of his calf, and at first a tingling itch came from the painful area, and then the pain subsided by half.
Qin Sang exclaimed: "Big Brother Bai, are you a legendary immortal master, my leg is healed?"
The strong men around laughed, "Boy, you can even kill a thief, I don't know if this is true qi?" Count your kid lucky, when you meet Boss Bai, you are willing to consume your true qi to help you heal, don't you thank Boss Bai soon!"
Qin Sang's eyes flickered, and he thanked him repeatedly.
Bai Jianglan withdrew his palm, opened his eyes after calming his qi and blood, glanced at Qin Sang, and said, "It seems that you really don't understand martial arts, I'm just a martial artist, not an immortal master, and I don't have the means of an immortal master." This true qi is also called internal force, although it can help you relieve your pain, but it is difficult to heal your injuries. Your leg bones are not broken, but there are a few bone cracks, I have used internal force to dissolve the bruising of the wound, just find a Lang Zhong after getting off the boat, prescribe a few pairs of bone nourishing decoction, and within a month, you will be able to recover as before......"
"Spring Peach Girl is here!"
A soft cry interrupted Bai Jianglan's words.
Everyone was silent and dispersed to both sides, and Bai Jianglan also stood up and turned to look over.
Qin Sang was able to see at this time that the position where everyone was now was close to the stern, and there was no light in the front row of cabins, only the middle one was arranged into a flower hall, which was lit with candles, and the candlelight came out of the flower window, but the inside and outside of the flower window were covered with a veil, and the inside of the flower hall could not be seen.
At this time, the door of the flower hall was ajar, and a slender figure came over with a lantern, and when he came closer, he saw that it was a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The little girl was wearing a thin aqua green dress with a good texture, obviously unable to withstand the river breeze in the middle of the night, and her cold hands were a little shaky.
Those five big and three rough men seemed to be afraid of her, and when they saw the little girl coming over, they avoided it one after another, and saluted respectfully one by one, "I've seen Miss Chun Tao." ”
It may be their owner, Qin Sang thought secretly.
"Commander Bai, Miss asked me to ask you, why is the ship parked here?"
Chun Tao looked worried, and walked forward with a wrinkling of brows, she was a cut shorter than Bai Jianglan, trying to carry the lantern, and was about to put the lantern on Bai Jianglan's face, apricot eyes glared at Bai Jianglan, and asked with a displeased face.
Bai Jianglan clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Please Miss Chun Tao Hui Yu, just now we saw that there was a raft in distress in the center of the river, and there were still people on the raft, so we stopped the boat to rescue, and now that the person has been saved, we will start the boat." ”
Hearing this, Chun Tao glanced down at Qin Sang, lowered the lantern, and slammed it into Qin Sang's face.
Qin Sang didn't dare to slack off, straightened up, and nodded with a smirk.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth to thank him, Chun Tao snorted coldly, "Come on, throw him down for me!"
Qin Sang was taken aback, he didn't expect this pretty little girl to be so ruthless, and hurriedly looked at Bai Jianglan.
Bai Jianglan frowned slightly, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat, "Spring Peach girl, don't ......"
Chun Taoxiu's eyebrows flew up suddenly, pointing at Bai Jianglan's nose and scolding, her voice was a little sharp, "The surname is Bai! The prince asked you to escort the eldest lady, and you are so guarded? This little thief has eyebrows and rat eyes, and his body is full of blood, he is not a good person at first glance, and you dare to let him get on the boat? In case it is an assassin and disturbs the young lady, how many heads do you have!"
"Spring Peach Girl is angry," Bai Jianglan explained with a good temper, neither humble nor arrogant, "Fang Cai has already asked carefully, this Qin brother is not skilled in martial arts, he is a poor man who was plagued by bandits, he escaped by luck, and the blood on his body is all from fighting, there is no reason not to save it." Besides, Brother Qin's leg bones are injured and he is unable to walk, and with our brother watching, he will not be disturbed by Miss. ”
Seeing Bai Jianglan's insistence on saving people, Chun Tao's eyes rolled, "Isn't there two small boats towing behind this boat? Give him one and let him get out!"
Qin Sang gasped, seeing that the river was wide and boundless, the autumn tide was in full bloom, more dangerous than the Yangtze River in the previous life, the shadows of the mountains on both sides of the river were heavy, there was no light, and from time to time there were a few strange screams and beast roars, like a ghost domain.
A small boat went down the river, and I didn't know how to die.
This little girl is so ruthless!
Bai Jianglan said: "Spring Peach girl doesn't know, this place has just entered the Wuling River Jiudi Gorge, both sides are high cliffs and dangerous mountains, there are no people, fierce beasts are rampant, can only go down the river." But this Jiudi Gorge is the most rapid and dangerous place in the Wuling River, and if the boat is put down, it will capsize. It's better to let Brother Qin stay in the tail cabin, start the boat now, and cross the Jiudi Gorge early tomorrow morning, and put Brother Qin down when he arrives in Sanwu City. I'm on deck tonight to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”
