Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 16: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
Iron Bone Village Hall, six people are present.
Lin Pan looked around, the ninth was not there, the fourth was injured and did not wake up, the third was killed by his benefactor, he was seriously ill and had not recovered, his body was slumped back on the chair, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
He simply closed his eyes and was silent, he had just listened to the brothers gossip for a while, and now he just wanted to take a good look at what had happened during his coma.
"Big brother. ”
Lin Wen was the first to break the silence, but Lin Pan waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
He placed his palm on the table in front of him, his index finger kept clicking on the table, and everyone sat quietly for a moment before they heard him ask in a slightly thin voice, "Did the poisoner catch it?"
Lin Pan opened his eyes and looked at everyone present, only to see that they all lowered their heads.
He continued: "The ninth brother went out to rob the caravan, who agreed?"
Lao Balin Town sat at the end and replied, "Big brother, Lao Jiu invited himself to do this. ”
The second Lin Wen followed and said, "Big brother, I agreed." You were poisoned and didn't wake up at the time, you need nine turns of Youyan Grass, and you are in a hurry, if you want to blame me, blame me. ”
"Hey......"
Lin Pan patted his head and said, "This matter is indeed because the brothers started to save me, and I am the most responsible." Don't blame the second brother. ”
He continued: "Why hasn't the ninth brother come back yet, and how many people has he brought?"
"Big brother, this is exactly what I suspect, the ninth brother brought thirty or forty people, and it stands to reason that he should have returned to the village a long time ago. ”
Lin Wen hesitated and said, "Unless ......"
"Unless what?" asked Linpan.
Lin Wen looked at his eldest brother Lin Pan seriously, and said slowly word by word: "Either he is the one who poisoned you and ran away, or he is dead." ”
"If you go down the trade route, you will meet this caravan today......"
The meaning hidden in Lin Wen's words, under the fear in the hearts of everyone present, they also heard it clearly, but no matter what the result was, they couldn't speak, so they were all looking at their eldest brother, waiting for him to make a decision.
Lin Pan's brows furrowed into two small hills, he shook his head and said: "Although the ninth brother is perverse and stubborn, he will never be that kind of person, as for you saying that it was done by Engong's caravan, there is no evidence for this." ”
Things are actually infinitely close to the truth, but Lin Pan has always been a person who values rules and righteousness, and if there is no evidence, it cannot be said that someone else did it, not to mention that the other party woke him up.
"Big brother, I don't think it's the caravan outside. ”
Lao Balin Town opened his mouth and said: "My second brother and I have had more contact with them, and if Mu Qing's strength wants to leave, dozens of us will not be able to stop him this morning, let alone escort them back to the village, so it shouldn't be their hand on Lao Jiu." ”
After all, in these years, who is not an enemy is very red when they see each other, either you die or I die, and if you want to act, it is too cheap.
"Well, the eighth brother is right. ”
Lin Pan shook his head, the ninth brother couldn't figure it out for the time being, he continued to ask everyone present, "Who can explain the matter of the fourth brother to me clearly?"
When he asked the question, he was visibly angry.
Although the third Lin Zhun was killed, this incident shows that the village is unreasonable, if he can cut the grass and eradicate the roots in one go, then when he didn't ask, the key is that people have this strength, then he can't ignore it.
The scene was quiet again, and seeing that everyone didn't answer, Lin Pan set his eyes on Lin Wen.
Lin Wen made a bitter face and said, "Big brother, I also know very little about the fourth brother, and the situation I know has just been said outside, and I haven't hidden it." ”
"How did the fourth brother know that I had been killed?"
Lin Pan scratched his chin as if he was talking to himself.
"Well, eldest brother, I think I can arrest the deputy of the fourth brother and ask him well. ”
Lin Wen came up with an idea, just after everyone returned to the stockade, the deputy didn't know where to hide.
"Well, go get that guy for me. ”
Lin Pan stood up with the table and said, "Let's treat the injured brother first, and take my time after I recover from my injuries." ”
"Uh... Belch... You ......"
Cao Mo looked indifferently at the two people who had collapsed to the ground in front of him, one was the minion who had just been called Lin Tian by him to come to him, and the other was Lin Tian's deputy, he hadn't died immediately, and he was still trying to say something.
"Damn, grandpa finally knows why Lin Xing's kid died without a trace, it turns out that there is such a big variable hidden in the caravan. ”
Half a moment later, Cao Mo sprinkled corrosive powder on the two dead corpses while frowning and thinking about what to do next.
The battle outside the stockade just now, he hid in the shadows, and he watched it all the time.
Originally, the appearance of Xiaochan, a girl with five-grade strength, was enough for him to pay attention to, and he regarded it as a larger variable in his plan, but the real variable was the person who had a relationship with him in the village.
"Ki Qing !!"
Cao Mo gritted her teeth and screamed the man's name in her heart.
He has been in Sipin for many years, and judging from his vicious eyes, Mu Qing's strength exposed when he rescued people outside the village is indeed several times higher than him, and it is not something he can fight hard.
But his plan was blocked by this person twice and three times, and he really couldn't swallow this breath as the ninth on the assassin's word list.
"Damn, when this task is completed, I have to call that Liu family kid to increase the price of Lao Tzu!"
Cao Mo was ruthless, and he decided to gamble again.
He already knew that Lin Pan was rescued by Mu Qing, but he didn't think that Mu Qing's pharmacological level was superb, in order to win the trust of everyone in the village, he had already said the prescription for detoxification, presumably the little cub of Mu Qing also knew, but it was just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and there happened to be nine turns of Youyan Grass!
There is a method of poisoning in the poison chapter of the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture", he has never used it, he made up his mind to give this precious first time to Mu Qing and them, he doesn't believe that the other party has such good luck to be able to get rid of this poison.
In an open space outside the Iron Bone Village, Liu Weirui pulled up her sleeves and took the initiative to wipe the sweat that was about to fall from Mu Qing's forehead.
Mu Qing's eyes were wide open at this time, and he was concentrating on stitching up Li Si's wounds, and Liu Weirui could only fight.
Fortunately, Li Si's life was great, and when Lin Tian's arrow came, he turned sideways, and was not directly shot through the heart, but only through his shoulder blades, so he didn't have to worry about his life.
The caravan was almost planted in the hands of the bandits in the Iron Bone Village in the past two days, and now only thirteen of the twenty-four guards have survived, and only the six who have just stood to protect Liu Weirui are still combative.
Fortunately, because it was the guards who were under fire from the beginning, the horsemen in the caravan were at most slightly injured, and there were no casualties.
Liu Weirui arranged for the groom to help the wounded, while trying to suppress her bad mood.
The dead guards had been following her for a few years, and she was already approachable, and on weekdays everyone was more like brothers and sisters than superiors and subordinates.
The grief and anger accumulated in her chest from their successive deaths were about to overwhelm her reason, but the cold and cruel reality told her that she was not qualified to fight with each other now, and if she wanted the caravan to pass through the pass set by the Iron Bone Village, she had to continue to endure.
Even if she has Mu Qing, she can't protect everyone after all.
"Brother Muqing, you can rest first. ”
Liu Weirui wiped the sweat from Mu Qing's cheeks again, and said apologetically.
Mu Qing first hugged Xiaochan to the front to medicate and bandage the torn wound on her back, and then immediately went to Li Si to get an arrow to suture the wound.
"Whew~"
Mu Qingchang let out a long breath of turbidity, stood up and twisted his neck, and said to Liu Weirui with a little apology: "Speaking of which, it was because I thought it was too simple before, there was no problem with acting, but the bandits never talked about faith, but they made the caravan suffer again." ”
Liu Weirui's eyes were misty, and she said softly: "Brother Mu Qing can't say that, I originally asked you to do this, but we dragged you down." ”
When she was in the cave halfway up the mountain, Mu Qing once asked her if she needed to kill the people who came up, Liu Weirui felt that it was not a way to kill a group of people, so she and Mu Qing set a plan to save people and pass the card, but it turned out that her plan was still too idealistic and overestimated the character of the bandits.
"It's useless to do more analysis. ”
Mu Qing sighed and looked around at the injured guards: "Let's save them first, but we seem to lack some medicine." ”
"I'm going to get the list of goods I bought this time to see if there's anything I need. ”
Liu Weirui competently took out the purchase list from the mezzanine of a carriage, although there are dozens of medicinal materials this time, but there are thousands of medicines in this world, and it is not impossible that those who can cure diseases may not be in this purchase this time.
"It is mainly for treating external injuries, replenishing blood qi, and dispelling poisons, you can find them all and show them to me. ”
Mu Qing didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went to treat the others.
However, a few quarters of an hour later, Mu Qing's side was busy, and the gate of the Iron Bone Village opened again, which made him have to be vigilant.
Looking back, there are more than a dozen people from the Iron Bone Village this time, led by Lin Wen, the second master of the Iron Bone Village, an old acquaintance, who walked close and stood still, arched his hand, and said to Mu Qing: "Brother Mu Qing, I apologize to you first." My eldest brother's old illness has not been cured, so I have to disturb you, I see that the daily needs of your caravan are not very sufficient, so I brought two carts. ”
When Mu Qing heard this, he looked behind Lin Wen, there were indeed two people pushing wooden carts full of dry food and water bladders on the road, Mu Qing knew that a large part of the reason why the caravan was in a hurry to go to Stone City through the Iron Bone Village was that the daily supplies needed to be replenished, he nodded, did not postpone, and returned the salute with his left hand: "Thank you!"
Lin Wen saw that Mu Qing accepted the things that were given, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Mu Qing was powerful, since the eldest brother didn't go to investigate whether the ninth brother had anything to do with them, then he was also happy to form a good fate.
"Brother Mu Qing is polite, we don't know each other, I know that you have excellent medical skills, but I am afraid that there is a shortage of manpower to treat these wounded, so I brought the old doctor in the village to help, hoping to repay some of our apologies. ”
"Mu Qing Gongzi, his medical skills are superb at a young age, and the old man can only help the owner of the village to continue his life these days. ”
Cao Mo spoke up first, indicating his identity as a physician.
Mu Qing saw this person in the village when he went to treat Lin Pan, when Cao Mo was standing outside a pharmacy, which matched the identity of an old doctor.
He thought for a moment in his heart, and felt that the rest that needed to be treated were some external injuries, and it would be excellent to have one more person to help, so he didn't postpone it, and said directly: "The old gentleman praised it falsely, so thank you for helping." ”
