The restored pavement was still a little soft, not very smooth, and the carriage had slowed down considerably

The middle-aged man leaning on the flatbed truck heard the sound of the wheels running over by his side and getting on the new road, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and two sharp eyes shot at the carriage driving on the edge of the deep pit. The man slapped the ground with his left hand, and a yellow wave of earth rolled up the sand and gravel on the ground and rushed to the tail of the carriage.

The sound of a few gold and stone collisions attracted the workers present and the officials of Zhifu City, and everyone's eyes turned to here, only to see more than ten rattan with the thickness of an adult's forearm drilling out of the ground behind the carriage, and the front end of the rattan had claw-like tentacles, and the members were wrapped around and grabbed the carriage, but they were broken by the colored energy like a yellow dragon, and the vines fell to the ground like a metal plate.

Several of the officials who came back to their senses rushed to the place where the vines emerged, shouting at the carriage and asking the driver to stop their horses, and a few others turned their vigilant eyes to the source of the earthy yellow air waves.

However, as if the noise had drowned out the shouts of several officials, the carriage continued to move forward, as if it had been pushed by the yellow waves, and the speed was faster.

Just as several officials rushed to the side of the deep pit, the ground suddenly exploded, and several officials who were close to him were shocked to the end, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their injuries were quite serious. The tremor of the ground explosion caused the freshly paved road to collapse, and the sand and gravel rolled into the pit. The carriage shook a few times and almost slipped into the pit.

Burst from the ground and three masked men dressed in gray leaped out. Each of the three of them has more than a dozen vines sticking out of their sleeves, like the tentacles of an octopus, transcending the prey in front of them. Like a venomous snake that smells blood, a group of snakes swarm to eat on their plates.

The middle-aged man next to the flatbed truck slapped the ground with both hands, jumped up, adjusted his body in the air, shook his hands, and shot out a thick iron chain in his hand, with crescent-shaped blades at both ends of the chain. The two blades are like two scythes for harvesting leeks, cutting off all the rattans in their reach.

The man danced with his hands, and the black rope in his hand was like two hunting dragons, dexterously preying among the snakes. When the man landed, his body squatted slightly, and his feet stepped heavily on the ground. The trembling ground seemed to be a twisting and churning snake, which had been trampled seven inches by its foot, and suddenly did not move. The falling of the sand and the crumbling of the carriage subsided. The carriage continued to brisk forward.

The man didn't stop there, he threw out his right arm, and the moonblade swept across the waist of one of the gray-clad men. The three men in gray had been busy attacking the carriage, and although they sensed that someone was getting in the way, they were not prepared to deal with it. The locked man in gray shouted angrily, and dodged to one side as he slumped into his sleeve with the short-headed vine snake.

The silver moon blade swept past where the gray-clothed man had been standing with a black python, leaving an inky cut in the air. Just as the man in gray was secretly glad that he had escaped, and was about to make a slight adjustment to turn defense into offense, he heard a muffled sound of "bang". The gray-clothed man's heart tightened, and he followed the prestige, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Just as the gray-clothed masked man was puzzled, he saw that his other two companions were looking at him with tears in their eyes, and the wail and roar of the mother beast's cubs came out of their mouths. The gray-clothed man was even more puzzled, but he suddenly felt a trace of coldness in his left shoulder, and then a burst of warmth, and when the man looked sideways at his left button, the stinging pain in his heart also rose from his left shoulder. As far as the eye could see, only the slices of the face, which were as smooth as mirrors, spurted blood like pillars.

Either because of the pain that swept through his body, or because of the fear that caught his eyes, the man in gray screamed and fell to the ground at the same time. In a daze, he saw that the ground was dark red and sticky with blood, and there was a half-clenched fist arm on the potholed pavement, which seemed to be beckoning to him, as if he was trying to push himself away from the ground, and more like the broken claws of the vines all over the ground, trying to grab the carriage that had traveled away.

The man in gray subconsciously stretched out his right hand and held it with difficulty at the break in his left shoulder, and all he could do was viscous air. He was about to fall to the ground, but he suddenly felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the ground, his arms gradually shrunk, his body gradually shrunk, and finally what caught his eye was the gray smoke and dust splashed by a familiar and unfamiliar headless one-armed gray robe body smashing on the same gray road.

The other two gray-clothed men who came back to their senses squeezed out a hoarse roar with bloody breath in their throats, and one of them shook his arms vigorously, and more than ten hideous vines spread out from his cuffs again, but the rattans between the two sleeves were intertwined and intertwined, turning into two giant pythons that could sometimes have heads and went straight to the man holding the black chain.

At the same time, the other man lowered his hands to the ground, and the vines in his sleeves burrowed into the earth, like a dozen giant earthworms devouring the dirt in front of him and hitting his opponent's arms.

The man with the chain had no fear on his face, and he threw the chain at one end into the air, while the moon blade at the other end plunged directly into the ground.

An earthy yellow giant crab suddenly appeared on the ground under the man's feet, wielding a double crow that flashed like a crescent moon to meet the earthworm that broke through the ground. The chain in mid-air turned into the long tail of the giant crab, and the yin hook stabbed at the python. The giant turtle and the insect body collided violently, and the crab tail and the python head were entangled and bitten each other.

The smoke and dust were everywhere, and no one fled in horror, some of them were closer to the war dogs on both sides, and they didn't vomit and breathe until their mouths and noses were stuffed with fishy mud, and they ran in the direction of Fucheng with pale faces. Several officials also came back to their senses and hurriedly rushed back to the city to ask for help in order to escape the danger here.

By the time the smoke and dust slowly cleared, the venue was empty. Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward to investigate.

When a young official rushed back to Fucheng to send a letter for help, he was the most active because of fear, and was by several other colleagues and treated him for a while. At this moment, the young official has regained some sense, and feels that he has to show a shame in Thailand before, and thinks that he should save some face at this time. The vanity and strength of the young man made him much more courageous.

The young man took a deep breath, squinted at the older officials who were standing further back than him, his head raised slightly, and a loud but short cold snort came from his nostrils, and he strode towards the place where the four of them had fought before.

Several officials behind him wanted to make a statement to remind this stunned young man that the young man was famous for his extreme importance of face in the yamen. It's just that a few people glanced at each other, thinking of the disdain and contempt for him, so they dismissed the plan to remind him with kind words, and planned to make this kid suffer, or show a foreign appearance, and learn some lessons. In the future, it is good to learn from these seniors in the industry and ask for advice, and the attitude should be more respectful, and the seniors are not really afraid and timid, but they are experienced, and they have long expected that there is still danger there.

Thinking like this, the young official had already arrived at the previous battlefield. From a distance, the crowd saw the young man looking down to see something, and occasionally crouching down to examine something closely. It's just that the unexpected or expected of a few people did not happen, and a few people did not know whether to breathe a sigh of relief for their young companions or to be disappointed that the young people were safe and sound.

The young servant stood in place for a long time, but he did not come back to explain the situation of this place to the people, nor did he show them that there was no danger in the place, so that everyone could go with confidence. Everyone looked curiously and anxiously at the motionless young back.

After a while, someone whispered "not good" to remind several other people, and everyone was about to step forward to check, but saw the young man suddenly bend over and twitch.

Several other brave workers didn't care so much and rushed towards the young man. It was only when he got closer that he noticed that the young man was bending over with his arms on his knees, vomiting.

Everyone was puzzled and had already come to the side of the young officer, and their eyes swept around, all of them were vulgar old men, and there were even a few people who leaned over and vomited. The few remaining people who were forced to pretend to be calm covered their mouths with their hands, trying to forcibly swallow the sour water that rushed up their throats, but they still couldn't suppress the boiling sensation in their throats, and they also lowered their heads and opened their mouths to break through the filth. Only then did the people present understand what the ninety-nine essence of the previous year was in order.

"This death is too miserable, isn't it? Did people do it?" said a middle-aged official who had also served as a servant when he was young, wiping the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, it should be a human being, there will be no demons in broad daylight, right?" the young official stammered in reply.

The ground in front of him was littered with countless pieces of minced meat of almost the same size, each about the size of a baby's fist, the four sides were cut flat and smooth, and the bones between the flesh and skin were sliced like white porcelain.

"It should have been the worker who did it. Another official with a disillusioned face said, searching for something everywhere.

"Behold the clothes of this corpse must have belonged to the two men in gray. The worker must have left. ”

"Good guy, it's not been a few days since the three Sipo Wuxiu fought in Zhifu City, and there were so many dead and wounded. In case it is a backer with a background, we will be blamed in the future. ”

"Who of you know that worker just now?" the middle-aged official shouted at the worker behind him, "Do any of you know the previous worker?

The workers, who had been so frightened that they had retreated far away, were talking to each other, as if they were not too impressed by the man they had been working with for a few days.

Just as everyone was whispering, a middle-aged man with a beard said vaguely, "I remember seeing the man just now when I was registering for work, and I remember that he seemed to say that his surname was Jin." ”

"Damn, this road hasn't been repaired and most of it has been destroyed, I don't know how long it will drag on. A servant looked at the devastated pavement. Not only were the deep potholes not filled, but more roads were destroyed by the previous fighting. Hearing the words of the officials, the craftsmen tried their best to restrain themselves from showing an expression of bitterness and hatred, worrying about the country and the people, so as not to betray the ecstasy in their hearts. For them, the next few days' wages are probably enough to cover the family's expenses for a year. More than a dozen people have their own thoughts and clean up the mess in front of them.

The door of the carriage, which had been driving on the official road for a long time, was opened, and a young man wearing a black felt hat poked his head out of the carriage and patted the driver on the shoulder and said, "I was about to vomit from the bump just now." You go to rest in the carriage, and I will catch the train. ”

"You are such a lazy person who would take the initiative to catch the car, I'm afraid that Brother Jiang Yu will drive you out, right?" The driver took off the hat on his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with yellow muscles and thin muscles.

"The guy who helped us just now seems to be familiar. I can't remember where I've seen it. The young man in the black felt hat walked out of the carriage and sat next to the middle-aged man in a green shirt, "It's still good outside air, and the smell of medicine in the carriage alone suffocates me." ”

Yun Xuelan, who had already put on a middle-aged man's face, buckled the hat in his hand on Ding Ye's black felt hat, "That person just now, the twenty-ninth year of the New Year almost buried you with the broken temple, it's really a noble person who forgets things." ”

Ding Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something: "It's clear that you don't even have a pair of pants left after you were beaten." But isn't he going to kill us? How could he come to save us? What about the other three?"

"He, he should owe Brother Jiang a life. So come and return the favor. Saying that, Yun Xuelan looked at the carriage with bricks. The black-clothed young man in the car was sitting cross-legged and cultivating with his eyes closed. The dark cold air around his body made the air in the young man's feet condense into frost. It's just that the cold is blocked by the prohibition of the carriage, and no one outside the carriage can detect it.

The young man did not speak, but said in his heart: "I am not the only one who left my hand that day. Yun Xuelan, who was driving, also nodded lightly when she heard this.

"Owe Bing Cube a life?" Ding Ye took off the hat on his head and put it on Yun Xuelan's head again, "Your face is too ugly, it's better to cover it, don't affect the mood of the young master during the New Year." ”

Yun Xuelan lowered the brim of her hat, but answered Ding Ye's question, "I didn't expect this person to be quite interesting." The Fu family turned out to be such an interesting person. ”

"Your brain is stupid by your thunder charm, right? He's going to kill you, you say he's interesting. ”

"But today he also saved us. Yun Xuelan shook the reins in her hand, "I should see you again in the future." ”

On the official road, there are horse's hoof prints and ruts of different shades. A middle-aged man in a coarse cloth robe walked slowly along the trail left by the carriage and horse. He looked at the black dots in the west and muttered to himself, "A good Yunyin Mountain Villa, a good Yun Xuelan, but the Fu family's hearts are too much stronger than their peers who have no one in the sky." Rumors are rumors after all, and seeing is still believing. ”

Yun Xuelan, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly sneezed, and the young man smiled slightly, "New year, new weather, the fifth day of the new year." ”

Chapter 59

The restored pavement was still a little soft, not very smooth, and the carriage had slowed down considerably

The middle-aged man leaning on the flatbed truck heard the sound of the wheels running over by his side and getting on the new road, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and two sharp eyes shot at the carriage driving on the edge of the deep pit.
