Section 42 Worry and Swallowing Horses
Shi Yi finally decided to agree to Zhuo Changgui's request, and now the residents of Fengcheng are officially confined to the villages near Fengcheng. For fear of the spread of the plague, ordinary people were not allowed to approach without permission.
On the premise of not conflicting with the government, the most labor-saving way to get close to the borer host is naturally to rely on personal connections. And the dart master who travels south and north cannot be insulated from the government, and Shi Yi wants to use Zhuo Changgui's relationship in Fengcheng to achieve his own goals.
As for the promised revenge, there are also prerequisites, and it is impossible for Shi Yi to let go of the matter of finding the host of the borer, and wholeheartedly help Zhuo Changgui find the enemy, so he will put the cart before the horse.
Shi Yi promised Zhuo Changgui that during his stay in Fengcheng, if Zhuo Changgui's enemies still didn't plan to let him go, Shi Yi didn't mind taking care of the other party.
In short, Shi Yi will not take the initiative to cause trouble, he only hopes to be able to find the host of the borer quickly, if the borer has been completely precipitated, it is naturally better. If the host is still alive, he will take the host with him and quickly leave the area along the Fubo River.
Now more than half a month has passed since Shi Yi killed Zhao Lingzhou and Uncle Ma's master and servant.
Shi Yi felt that at this point in time, even if the Zhao family had already known that Zhao Lingzhou was dead, and sent people here non-stop, Shi Yi was also sure that he had enough time to leave calmly.
Because the Sanwei Miao Land is far away in the uncivilized barren mountains in the extreme north of the Chu State, not to mention the distance from the Sanwei to the northern border of the Chu State, just if they want to run through the north and south of the Chu State, it will take a month to say the least, and when they arrive here, Shi Yi has already left this area, and has changed his appearance to live in seclusion and cultivate the truth, and then the Zhao family just wants to find it, and can only find a needle in a haystack.
As for how the Zhao family plans to deal with Shang Zhongmou, this person who has something to do with "Zhao Lingzhou", it is none of Shi Yi's business.
Anyway, it has always been Shang Zhongmou who wanted to take advantage of it, and he posted it up, and the other party is not a good person, so Shi Yi has no psychological burden on this.
Originally, on this trip to Fengcheng, Shi Yi intended to confirm the status of the borer host, and he didn't plan to collect it immediately. But this sudden flood completely disrupted Shi Yi's plan.
The flood will cause a great epidemic, the first to bear the brunt of the old and weak women and children, which is very likely to accelerate the death of the borer host, in case there are no pregnant women around to survive, it will mean that Shi Yi will lose the trace of the borer.
Obviously, Shi Yi couldn't watch this favorite borer slip away from under his nose, and the matter of recovering the borer had to be carried out early. It's just that this delay, I don't know how much time it will take.
Shi Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and comforted himself, maybe everything was done by himself, the Zhao family may not have noticed anything abnormal at all, and still mistook Zhao Lingzhou and Uncle Ma for a task in Rong Liu.
............
The neighing continued, and the four horses galloped on the yellow sand, raising countless sand and dust wherever the horses' hooves passed.
At that moment, one of the horses, for some unknown reason, suddenly gave up on his front hooves and fell to his head.
The rider on its back reacted very quickly, and landed smoothly on the ground in one leap.
The rider looked at the mount that had fallen to the ground and could not struggle for a long time, and did not show any superfluous expression, only to see him crouch down, grab the horse's hooves and look at it carefully.
"Huh, Brother Lingzhe, are you okay. The horses that had been traveling with him also stopped, and one of the young men jumped off the horse and asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal, but it's a pity that the horse is scrapped. Zhao Lingzhen pointed to the horse's hooves, it turned out that the hooves had fallen off at some point, and the horseshoes were almost worn bald, and now the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was no wonder that the horse suddenly lost its front hooves.
"Hehe, the young master is the young master, and the horse he rides is also very delicate. Immediately, another person suddenly interjected with a laugh.
"Ma Zhong, this time my Zhao family paid a lot of money to ask your brother for help, but I didn't come to listen to you say cool words. Besides, it was not only my Zhao family who was killed this time, but also people from your Ma family, don't you want to know who killed your brother. Zhao Lingzhen slowly stood up, stopped his somewhat impulsive companion, and calmly looked at the person who spoke before and said.
"Haha, I don't care if he lives or dies, after he switches to your Zhao family and learns what to cultivate, he won't be a member of our Sanmiao clan. Our brother came this time just for the sake of the elixir. Ma Zhong laughed as he rode his horse.
"Hehe, don't mix personal feelings, it's better, as long as you remember, it's my Zhao family who hired you. Now you know what to do. Hearing this, the rider chuckled and asked rhetorically.
"Little white face, it's trouble. Ma Zhong muttered, then turned over and dismounted, he led the horse to Zhao Lingzhe, and reluctantly handed him the reins in his hand.
Then, Ma Zhong came to the injured horse, and was about to squat down, when he heard a hurried voice, and remembered behind him: "Second brother, give it to me, give it to me, I want to ......"
"Think of a fart, Xiao Ji, you give it to me, get out and ride a good horse. Ma Zhong turned around when he heard the sound and kicked back, for this younger brother who had some intellectual problems, Ma Zhong was a little angry, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice.
Ma Ji rubbed his buttocks, which was kicked by his second brother Ma Zhong, and even so, his eyes kept staring, and the injured horse that fell to the ground was full of longing.
Ma Zhong drove away his younger brother and leaned over to look at the horse in front of him, he stroked the horse's neck tenderly, and others would think that it was a horse lover.
With Ma Zhong's caresse, the horse trembled uncontrollably, probably the animal's natural instinct told it that the man in front of him was dangerous, and the horse struggled to escape, but it was too late.
I saw Ma Zhong open his big mouth and bite the horse's neck, and suddenly blood splashed, and the horse couldn't help but struggle violently, but Ma Zhong's hands were like iron tongs, firmly fixing the horse, but in a moment, the horse completely lost its movement.
And Ma Zhong himself seemed to be incarnated as a hungry ghost in the food, and with the sound of swallowing, he sucked up the horse's blood in just a moment. After that, he began to bite and swallow the horse's corpse non-stop, and the speed at which he ate was really staggering, but with the effort of tea, one-third of the horse had been eaten by him, and only bones remained.
Ma Ji looked at his second brother Ma Zhong enviously, but because of his brother's majesty, Ma Ji followed suit and walked back to his mount.
He looked at his horses, and didn't know what he thought, his eyes suddenly couldn't take his eyes off, and his saliva flowed uncontrollably.
In the dark night, in the desert without a trace, only the horses kept screaming, accompanied by the sound of chewing and swallowing one after another, even if the two Zhao family were monks, they couldn't help but change a little.
If Shi Yi is here, he will definitely find something familiar, not the similarity between the two Zhao family and Zhao Lingzhou's eyebrows, but the same snow-bright white teeth of the Ma brothers.
