Chapter 114: Chapter 05: Desperate Survival
Many things in life are not achieved overnight, and they are destined to experience all kinds of ups and downs, and the more seemingly simple things are, sometimes they are more difficult to do. The key to the success or failure of a thing lies in how determined a person is, there is no one who has achieved nothing, only those who are unwilling to work hard.
In a ruined temple that seems to have been abandoned for a long time, there are two people standing in the lobby, one of them standing in front of the incense table with his hands behind his back, as if he is praying for something to the idol in front of him that has not been enshrined for a long time, and as if he is laughing, mocking this so-called god who has no one to worship but has nothing to do.
At this time, the sky was just bright, and although the faint morning light shone through the dilapidated windows, it was still impossible to see the man's face, and he did not know who it was, but it was certain that this man was more noble than the man standing behind him, because the man standing behind him at this time had his head bowed, his face was slightly pale, and his hands that had nowhere to put him looked a little frightened.
"Believe it?" asked the man with his hands behind his back in a low voice, not turning, his eyes still resting on the idol, as if the motionless idol was more intriguing than the living man behind him.
The man standing in the back frowned when he heard the question, and said in a trembling voice: "Was... They searched for it..."When he answered, he looked up from time to time to observe the reaction of the person in front of him, as if he was afraid of being blamed, and the appearance of the thief's eyebrows had betrayed the panic in his heart at the moment.
Hearing his answer, the man in front of him twisted his head suddenly, glared at him fiercely with his peripheral vision, and his hands behind his back were tightly clasped together, hesitated for a while, and finally held back the anger in his heart, took a long breath, and asked again: "What about the person who rescued you?" This time, he wanted to hear something that would make him happy, but obviously he was disappointed.
When the thief-eyed man heard the question, he swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly, "Elimination... disappeared..."When he said this, his lips trembled even more, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, I don't know if it was because he was afraid of the majesty of the person in front of him or because he remembered something unbearable.
Hearing his answer, the person in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? None of the people in Fengyue Valley are his opponents? This is impossible!"
The thief-eyed man said cautiously: "No, there are indeed masters in the valley, but they didn't kill the boy after they fought out the two top masters, and they almost lost their lives, and in the end they only beat the boy to a serious injury, if it wasn't for the mysterious old man who killed him halfway, it is estimated that the young man and the master in the valley would have died together." ”
"Badly wounded, you can't even kill a seriously wounded person, and let him slip out from under your nose?!" shouted the man with his hands behind his back, and the anger in his heart burned again.
The thief-eyed man hurriedly lowered his head and said softly: "It's the subordinate's carelessness, he is so powerful, I haven't found a chance to kill with one blow, I didn't expect him to lie that he wanted to rest, but he slipped away inexplicably while I was asleep, as if he knew that I was going to kill him, but rest assured, with his injuries, it is estimated that he died before he got out of the dense forest." As he said these words, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva in succession, observing the reaction of the person in front of him.
The man with his hands on his back was silent, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, his fists clenched tighter, and the atmosphere in the temple suddenly froze, appearing a trace of solemnity.
After a long time, the man with his hands sighed, and finally chose to accept such an ending, and at this point, he had nothing to do.
After a while, the man finally spoke, and said slowly: "Send someone to find it, you have to see people alive, and you have to see corpses when you die, if you can't find him before dark, it means that he is dead, take people to leave quickly, don't let the people of Fengyue Valley find out." ”
"Yes. The thief-eyed man nodded heavily, let out a long breath, and turned and walked out, as if he did not want to stay for a moment.
The man with his hands behind his back sighed, looked at the motionless idol in front of him, and said lightly: "Blood Knife Heartless, it seems that I still underestimate you, I hope you will stay in that forest forever, otherwise I will kill you with my own hands in the future!"
When the thief-eyed man walked out of the broken temple, he took a long breath again and stretched his waist, but his face no longer had the thief-eyed and annoying face just now, but became serious, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer, and he made a few gestures to the secret, and set off again towards the mountains and forests in the distance......
The barking of dogs outside the house seemed to have stopped, and a few human chuckles were heard. The man lying on the bed struggled to get up, but he couldn't muster up any strength, as if he had touched some wound or something, and couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, his face showed a look of pain, and he shook his drowsy head, hoping to remember something.
A scarred, blood-stained man staggered briskly through the forest, looking back from time to time, as if he were watching for something.
Due to the excessive range of movements, several wounds on his chest and shoulders were affected, and the blood that had originally coagulated flowed out again, but he did not choose to stop, still gritted his teeth and walked forward, but his pale face as white as snow looked very bad, indicating that he had no more blood to flow.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a chaotic footsteps not far behind me, the speed was fast, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
The scarred man was stunned for a moment, and desperately increased his speed, ignoring the little blood left that kept flowing out of his body, and looked back frequently as he walked, hoping that the footsteps would be farther away from him, or change direction, but no, the sound was getting closer and closer, almost in front of him.
Suddenly, the scarred man stumbled, feeling as if he had stepped on cotton, and then the whole person was planted, and then there was no trace.
It turned out that the man did not notice that there was a cliff in front of him, and under the cliff was a river with no end in sight, and the rushing river would not favor the already dying man who had fallen from the cliff, and quickly washed the man away and rushed downstream in the unknown direction. The man struggled a few times, then stopped moving, and followed the river, all the way down......
Recalling the last bits of memory in his mind, the man on the bed frowned, he really couldn't remember how he got here, and where he was, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The pain in his body stimulated his nerves, and he had no choice but to lie down honestly on the bed again. At this moment, a figure appeared in his mind, a girl dressed in white and as beautiful as a fairy, looking into the distance, looking forward to it.
Suddenly, with a "squeak", the door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure walked in, seeing that the person on the bed had woken up, his face showed surprise, and he hurriedly rushed over, and said with a smile: "You finally woke up, do you know how long you have been asleep?"
The person on the bed looked at the figure who came in suspiciously, trying to remember if he knew the strange but familiar person in front of him, but he couldn't remember anything, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you? What is this place?"
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said again, "Don't you know me?" ”
The person on the bed stared at the familiar person in front of him for a long time, and finally gave up, shook his head, and said slowly: "I really can't remember." ”
There was a smile on the corner of the man's mouth, but there was a sense of gratitude on his face, and he pursed his lips and said, "Gusu City, I, the beggar who begs along the street!"
The person on the bed suddenly realized, looked at the person in front of him in surprise, looked up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you dumb?" He finally remembered this passer-by who originally thought he was just passing by, but he didn't expect to meet again, and then he remembered Gusu City, and everything that happened in Gusu City, remembered the shopkeeper who died tragically, and remembered Uncle Zhong.
That's right, this person is the heartless who was seriously injured and fought his way out of the Wind Moon Valley. And the person in front of him was the beggar whom Wuxin had met in Gusu City, and Wuxin gave the beggar all the money he had in his body at that time.
It's really a trick, I thought it was just an insignificant passing, but I didn't expect to save Wuxin who fell into the cliff by chance today.
"Beggar" smiled and said with emotion: "That's right, thank you for this, if it weren't for the money that Engong gave me, I'm afraid I would have starved to death in an unknown place, I took your money to see Langzhong, Langzhong said that I was only because I had been starving for a long time, and my body had lost its due ability, so I became unable to speak, and then after I was cured, I took the rest of the money to start selling animal skins, and traveled to many places, and finally chose to settle here, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet Engong." As she spoke, tears flowed down her face, and her gratitude was palpable.
After listening to the words of the "beggar", Wuxin suddenly fell silent, and felt a little emotion in his heart, but he didn't expect that a good deed that he didn't pay too much attention to in the past finally bore good fruit, so that the person who originally gave him grace became his life-saving benefactor.
This may be fate, just like saving Dongfang Xian's wife and children from the man in red, and allowing himself to leave Fengyue Valley alive, all of this seems to be luck, but in fact, it is in response to the old saying, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
"By the way, Engong, why are you here, why are you so seriously injured?" The "beggar" wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked suspiciously, in his impression, it seemed that the Engong in front of him was always inseparable from fighting and killing.
Wuxin smiled and looked at the wound on his body that had been cleaned and treated, although it was simple, but fortunately there was no mold infection. I didn't expect the "beggar" to learn how to deal with wounds, probably because he started the trade of hunting to obtain animal skins, and also learned to treat wounds simply, but this was enough for Wuxin.
"I came out of Fengyue Valley, in order to save someone, by the way, did you find any suspicious people nearby?" Wuxin said and frowned, I don't know how long I have been sleeping, if I am found, I will definitely not be pleased, and it will also affect the "beggar".
The "beggar" waved his hand and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, there is no figure in a hundred miles here, I found you in the river on the way up the mountain to hunt, I have never heard of any Fengyue Valley here, I don't know how big this mountain is, it probably stretches for hundreds of miles, it seems that you must have drifted far in the river, you were dying when I found you, your injuries were very serious, counting the day I rescued you, you have slept for five days." ”
After the "beggar" finished speaking, he felt a little incredible, originally he thought that Wuxin was hopeless, just to express Wuxin's kindness to himself and helped Wuxin simply treat the wound, but he didn't expect Wuxin to miraculously come back to life.
Wuxin heard that he had slept for five days in a row, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, it seems that this time is indeed the closest to death, and it is also the strongest opponent he has encountered since he stepped into the rivers and lakes, and he can't help but be surprised by the strength of Fengyue Valley, if someone hadn't come out in time to stop it, I'm afraid that he would have died in the valley now.
At this time, he once again remembered Ruyi who was far away in the capital, and his departure had been delayed for too long, and it was estimated that Ruyi was already worried. But the way I look now, I can't even stand up, how can I rush back.
Originally, the Seven Sages King had already killed the person who Wuxin had spent, plus the roe head rat-eyed person who was suspicious in his heart wanted to be unfavorable to him, and the people of Fengyue Valley treated these two people unusually, Wuxin was now unsure of what kind of person the Seven Sages King was, and what secrets were there.
But I don't have time to think about these questions, the most important thing now is to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise Ruyi and Nangong Chu may be in danger.
After another two days, Wuxin was finally able to get out of bed and walk around, so it was time for him to leave, although the "beggar" kept dissuading him, worried that Yiwuxin's current body was likely to encounter any more danger. But he had no intention of leaving, because he couldn't delay any longer, and staying for a second longer would add a little more danger to Ruyi and Nangong Chu, who were far away in the capital.
So, Wuxin said goodbye to the "beggar" and embarked on the journey back to Beijing, although the road was far away, but Wuxin's feet were extremely firm, because compared with his own body, the concern in his heart made him toss and turn.
The only pity is that in the end, I forgot to ask the name of the "beggar" who met again. Maybe this is a kind of indescribable fate, you don't have to ask the source, you don't have to ask the way you came from, you just do what you have no regrets and no faults, you don't ask for anything in return, but you will see you again in the end......
