Chapter 40: A New Partner
"What! You want to bring the white girl! I don't promise, I don't agree!" Yu Feiyan almost jumped out of her chair in anger when she heard the news.
"Little sister, you listen to the eldest brother, don't worry. Yu Rong was a good man on the side.
"Feiyan, the white girl's background is pitiful, besides, the old Bai seniors are admired and died innocently and tragically, my generation is chivalrous, shouldn't I do something for him. Yu Zhong said earnestly.
"Big brother, I know you have a point, but I just hate her, huh. Yu Feiyan said nonsense.
"Okay, in fact, the white girl is also very kind, it's nothing more than being able to eat a little, her mouth can say a little, Feiyan, you have a lot, don't worry about her." Yu Rong said.
"Well, if you both say that, I won't care, as long as she doesn't get angry with me, I won't embarrass her. The two of them talked about each other, and finally persuaded Yu Feiyan.
The next morning. The three of them prepared fast horses and dry food, and then set off to the city gate to meet with Baili.
"Hey, there are so many novelties, I sent them back to my father like this, it's a pity, I didn't leave one or two pieces. Yu Feiyan sighed a pity, early in the morning, Yu Zhong entrusted the innkeeper with the gifts sent by several shopkeepers to the Yu family's branch in Jingzhou.
"Little sister, let's walk the rivers and lakes, with too much luggage and inconvenience, besides, don't you also say that you want to take it back for the uncle, so that he will forgive you for the mistake of sneaking out. Haha," Yu Rong said in the back.
Yu Feiyan glared at him, so frightened that Yu Rong stuck out his tongue in the back.
"Big brother, look ahead, is that a white girl?" Yu Rong said suddenly, pointing ahead.
Yu Zhong looked around, only to see a heroic girl standing on a horse at the city gate, sure enough, it was white glass, she was dressed in plain clothes, combed a man's bun, and carried a three-foot long sword.
Yu Rong's eyes couldn't help but straighten, and he praised continuously, and suddenly his head was hit.
"Hmph, stinky man, haven't you ever seen a woman?" Yu Feiyan said with an angry look at Yu Rong.
"You can't beat big brother, so don't always be angry with me. Yu Rong innocently touched the beaten head.
The three of them quickly arrived at the gate of the city.
"White girl, this outfit today is really surprising. Yu Zhong greeted Bai Li.
"Brother Yu, I think it's convenient to move, so let's go. Bai Li's face turned red and said shyly.
"Hmph, I didn't see him all night, and I became Brother Yu. Feiyan muttered to herself behind her.
"Hey, little sister, why do you always eat the vinegar of the eldest brother, you were like this when Miss Jin was in the past, you and the eldest brother are brothers and sisters. Yu Rong didn't know what to do, and he was talking a lot next to him.
"With your mouth, hum, I just can't get used to it. No, don't you say a word, and no one will treat you as dumb. Feiyan scolded Yu Rong.
Yu Zhong looked back at the two enemies, smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go." ”
"Drive!" four people and four horses, all the way away.
When the sun was shining and the weather was hot, they found a place to rest under a shady tree by the river.
"White girl, come and sit down and drink saliva, are you worried about anything this way?" Yu Zhong asked as he handed Bai Li a pot of water.
"Thank you, Brother Yu, since I grew up, it was the first time I went out of Jingzhou City, and I was a little nervous. Bai Li took the kettle and took a big sip.
"Don't think about it so much, everything is still with us. Yu Zhong said.
"Well, I believe in Brother Yu. Bai Li nodded heavily.
Yu Rong and Feiyan sat not far behind them.
"Look at the eldest brother and the white girl, they are more compatible. Yu Rong looked at Yu Zhong and Bai Li's backs enviously and said.
"Where's the match, hum!" Yu Feiyan said as she sat down while holding her waist.
"Hehe, talented and beautiful. What's wrong with you, little sister?" asked Yu Rong.
"My butt hurts when I ride a horse, and my eldest brother doesn't care about me, so I know the white girl. Yu Feiyan said with a grin.
"Hey, that's easy, I'll rub it for you. Yu Rong said that he was about to start rubbing it.
"you, ahhh
"Brother Yu, how far is it from Tiger Roaring Heights?" Bai Li asked.
"There are more than 100 miles from Jingzhou to Tiger Roaring Heights, the weather is so hot, the horses' feet can't be too fast, we can't catch up today, we will find a place to rest for the night, and we can arrive tomorrow." Yu Zhong said.
"Brother Yu, it is said in the rivers and lakes that you are strong in martial arts, and the number one master in the Southern Han Dynasty, Cao Taiwei, has been defeated by your sword, can you tell me about it?" Bai Li asked curiously.
"Hahaha, no, it's okay, I'm embarrassed for you to say that. Yu Zhong touched the back of his head embarrassedly and smiled.
The two of them chatted, but they didn't notice that a dark shadow was winding down from the tree, slowly swimming towards them. Suddenly, there was a "silky" sound. The black shadow leaped to its feet and rushed towards Yu Zhong like lightning.
"Brother Yu!" Bai Li exclaimed in surprise and pushed Yu Zhong away.
"White girl!" Yu Zhong got up and looked closely, only to see that a tan snake had bitten Bai Li's shoulder, and the snake body was wrapped around her arm.
Seeing this, Yu Rong was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Yu Zhong. I saw him step forward with an arrow, holding down the snake's head with one hand, and pinching the snake's three inches with the other hand.
The golden light flashed, and Yu Heavy raised his sword and fell, and the snake had been broken into seventeen or eighteen sections. This poisonous snake bites, once bitten it, it will never let go, until the venom is injected, even if the snake body is cut off, the snake's head will still remain in the wound, so it must be attacked three or seven inches to have an effect. These three inches are the most vulnerable part of the vertebrae, and the seven inches are the heart of the snake.
Yu Zhong immediately held Bai Li, looked down at the snake head on the ground, his heart tightened, and three words came out of his mouth: "Five-step snake." "This five-step snake is extremely venomous, and it is precisely because people who are bitten often die of poison before they can walk five steps, so it gets its name.
"Bai girl, are you okay?" Yu Feiyan saw that Bai Li was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save Yu Chong, and her hostility towards her disappeared, and asked eagerly.
At this time, Bai Li was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, his eyes were blurred, and he might faint at any time. Yu Zhongyi tore open the fabric of the white glass wound, only to see that the wound had begun to turn black, and the venom had obviously invaded the skin.
"Yu Rong, sword, my sword has slashed the viper, and it is no longer usable. Yu Zhong took the sword handed over by Yu Rong, cut the skin of the wound, first squeezed out the black poisonous blood, then forced the remaining poison out with internal force, and then brought water to clean the wound.
"Feiyan, come and help me help the white girl. After a while, he jumped down with a few small blue fruits, put them in his mouth and chewed them, put them on the white glass wound, and bandaged them with strips of cloth.
"Big brother, what is this?" asked Yu Rong.
"This is a barb, it is a herb that specializes in antidote to snake venom, I was naughty when I was a child, I often went to catch snakes with my second uncle, and once I was bitten by a snake, and my second uncle used this to detoxify me. Yu Zhong replied.
After a long while, Bai Li's face finally slowly regained its blood color, and it seemed that it was fine. Everyone exhaled.
"Brother Yu, are you okay. The first thing Bai Li did when he came to his senses was to care about whether Yu Zhong was okay.
"I'm fine, White Girl, I don't even know how to thank you, if something happens to you, I'm afraid I won't forgive myself in my life. Yu Zhong said guiltily.
"White girl, thank you for saving my eldest brother, my previous bad attitude was all my fault. Yu Feiyan also changed her attitude towards Bai Li.
"It's okay, Miss Feiyan, you and Brother Yu are a family, how can I blame you, not to mention that I also have something wrong. Bai Li said softly, obviously not fully recovered.
"White girl, I have exhausted your residual poison, I saved people just now, and destroyed your sleeves, how offensive, I hope that Bai Girl will forgive me. Yu Zhong said apologetically.
"Brother Yu, I want to thank you for saving your life. Bai Li said.
"White girl, you can rest for a while, and when you recover some strength, we will go on the road again, and we will find a town as soon as possible to rest for the night." Yu Zhong said.
In the evening, Yu Zhong and the others came to a small village, and everyone rode into the village, only to see that the people in the village looked at them with strange eyes and avoided them.
"Big brother, have you noticed, all you see on the road when you enter the village are women. Yu Rong leaned over Yu Zhong and whispered.
"I also noticed that there were old and weak women and children all the way, but the villagers didn't know why they were avoiding us. Yu Zhong replied in a low voice.
At this time, I saw a village woman on the side of the road, staring at them, and did not avoid them in fear like other villagers, Yu Zhong immediately dismounted, stepped forward to salute, and asked, "This eldest sister, what is wrong in the village, why are the villagers avoiding us one after another." ”
"They must have thought that you were here to catch the strong men again, so they avoided it, there are no men in my family anymore, and there is nothing to be afraid of. The village woman said.
"Sister, you misunderstood, we were just passing by, and our companion was bitten by a poisonous snake, so we wanted to go into the village and spend the night. Yu Zhong said.
The village woman looked at the white glass behind her, and saw that she was bandaging her wounds, and her face was weak, as if she was indeed injured, so she said: "Then you can come to my house, my house is just me and my daughter, and you can also use the spare room." ”
"Thank you, big sister. Everyone thanked each other.
Yu Zhong helped the weak Bai Li to get off the horse and walked into the house together.
