Chapter 44: Determination
Uncle Shi hurriedly instructed the others to speed up the search, for fear of receiving bad news one step too late.
The task of the man in black on the other side is Shi Lou's life, and he will not give up until he sees Shi Lou's corpse.
When he got rid of those annoying low-level demon beasts and rushed to the bamboo forest, he didn't see a human figure.
After scanning the bottom of the water with his divine sense, he found that there was nothing unusual, and the residual aura around him was not strong, and the man in black subconsciously continued to pursue forward.
Just missed the idle route, delaying her escape for a lot of time.
No matter how strong Shi Xian is, this body is too weak, and after a day of hard work, he finally couldn't help but close his eyes.
As for what will happen to the bamboo raft drifting, let's talk about it when she wakes up, she really can't hold on......
I closed my eyes in a daze, my brain was all struck, and Shi Xian didn't even bother to move a finger, so he fell asleep so tired and sweet.
Shi Xian was awakened by the vibration of the bamboo raft hitting the land.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Shi Xian's brain had not yet come to his senses, and his body hurriedly faced the Quartet with a vigilant posture.
After a few seconds, due to the impact of the current constantly hitting the shore, Shi Xian finally came back to his senses.
Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that she was really lucky, she didn't encounter any accidents along the way, and just slid down the stream to a small wild pond.
The surroundings look inhabited, because there is a small house with lights on, although there are only a few scattered grass houses around, each grass house is far away, but it also means that there are people here, and it may not be far from Hongcheng.
The area of the pond is not large, but it relies on the stream to live the water, because the width of the bamboo raft is relatively wide, and it cannot pass through the other side of the pond, so it is stuck in the middle, and the water constantly wants to wash it down, but it can't shake it for half a minute, just swaying back and forth.
Looking at the grass hut with a faint light, it was the middle of the night, and at this time the average hunter or farmer had already fallen into a deep sleep.
But why is the light on in that thatched hut?
Shi Xian looked at Shi Lou, who was not in a good state, it was not easy to find a way to move her to the bamboo raft before, but now her physical strength has been consumed for most of it, and her body is also very sore and weak, and she wants to move Shi Lou off the bamboo raft, but I am afraid that it is impossible, so she needs help!
Getting up cautiously, Shi Xian looked around vigilantly, and then covered Shi Lou's body with clothes, and then stuck the previous arrows on the shore to fix the bamboo raft, so as not to wait for Shi Xian to swim to the middle of the pond when Shi Xian came back, and then she went to cry to whom.
When he took the first step on the gentle land, he almost didn't fall on the ground, his legs were soft like noodles, and he couldn't lift his strength at all.
Shi Xian didn't plan to go directly into the grass house, the side she was facing now happened to be a window, and she walked along the road, using the only remaining aura to hide her breath, Shi Xian easily hid next to the window and eavesdropped with her short body.
Although she knew that this was an immoral act, and it was very likely that she would hear something unspeakable, she comforted herself with the urgency of complying with the matter.
Now is not the time to care about that bullshit etiquette, it matters to save your life!
"Brother Li, if you take a step closer, I'll die for you!"
A plain-clothed woman with a delicate appearance and good facial features was holding a pair of broken scissors in her hand, the force in her hand was not light, and the blade of the tip of the knife pierced the delicate skin, and there was faint red blood flowing out of it.
A small face was full of anger and fear, and tears kept flowing, but it did not look ugly at all, but there was a pitiful and weak beauty.
"Juan Niang, why are you suffering?
Brother Li, I'm also for your good, the night is long, and no one is there to accompany you. I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I came to you as soon as I came back from Hongcheng.
Don't you want to know the news of your husband? I went to Hongcheng today and really got some useful news, do you want to hear it?"
A stout man stood opposite the woman with some caution, but the expression on his face was full of ridicule and banter, the lustful wolf-like tiger in his eyes was overflowing, and an inexplicable confidence filled his rough face.
Shi Xian leaned on the edge of the window and looked secretly: It turned out that this was going to be an indecent woman in the middle of the night?
Looking at his little arms, calves and scarred palms, Shi Xian chose to be silent.
What else can she do to save others now, and her legs are weak when she walks.
This woman named Juan Niang is also hard, and she didn't dare to relax the scissors against her neck in her hand, and her beautiful eyes stared nervously at Brother Li opposite, for fear that he would take the opportunity to snatch his scissors.
"Huh!
My husband has not returned for a long time, and I am indeed worried about whether he has an accident, but if you want me to be insulted by you, you will die of this heart!
It's a shame that my husband and I have respected you all these years and treated you like a big brother, who knew that you were so wolf-hearted and filthy, and you were ......."
Juan Niang couldn't continue, both shame and resentment, tears couldn't stop flowing down, looking at the endless night, I don't know when a white light will appear, and her husband doesn't know when he will come back, and a kind of despair spreads in her heart.
She didn't dare to imagine that if she hadn't forgotten the time to sew clothes for this husband today, and she had been hunting with her husband for many years, she was quite vigilant, but she was afraid that she would be succeeded by this beast.
But even so, she is just a woman with more strength, how can she compare to Brother Li, who is at the first level of qi refining.
Juan Niang only felt that the world was spinning, begging in her heart to have someone to help her, she couldn't fight against this disgusting man opposite, where was her husband?
The man approached step by step, and Juan Niang was forced to retreat until there was no way to retreat and hit the cold and hard wall.
When he held the scissors, he was still trembling slightly, and his eyes did not dare to take his eyes off the man, and he watched his every movement vigilantly.
Brother Li also seemed to be aware of Juanniang's panic, as long as he made a slight move, he could scare her half to death, and his heart became more and more complacent, and the green light in his eyes became more and more abundant.
Seeing an opportunity, a green vine suddenly came out of his hand, and he suddenly tied Juan Niang's hand holding the scissors, just pulled it lightly, and pulled Juan Niang in front of him, and then snatched the scissors down.
