Volume 1 Citygate Chapter 47 The Sneaky Shadow

The man in front looked to be in his forties, with slightly white sideburns, and although the clothes on his body were shabby, the style was worn by ordinary large families, with wide sleeves and round collar covered with coarse cloth patches, and he looked down.

The man turned left and right in the street, and walked for a quarter of an hour before he stood still in front of a thatched hut, and he rubbed his face vigorously, the expression on his face adjusted slightly, although it was still a little ugly, but it was much stronger than the appearance of the soul just lost.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

"Sir, you're back. A weak woman's voice.

"Well, Cui'er, you... Are you still uncomfortable?" the middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly.

"Master, Cui'er is already content to have you in this life, the master has scattered all his family wealth for me, and now he owes so many foreign debts, Cui'er begs the master, don't go to buy medicine for Cui'er anymore. The woman said softly, her weak voice revealing a deep sense of distress.

"Cui'er, what are you talking about, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my life now, what is this money. The man's voice finally choked up.

There was a knock on the door...

The man hurriedly wiped his tears with his cuffs, and a look of panic flashed on his face, he used to have a lot of friends, but since he couldn't repay the borrowed money, there was no more, and now there would be no one else knocking on the door except to collect debts.

"Lady, you take a break, it should be a friend. The middle-aged man said to the woman.

"Don't open the door, sir, they'll beat you again. The woman's words were anxious, with a hint of horror.

The middle-aged man couldn't afford to pay back the money, and he couldn't help it, so every time he went out and was beaten, so that the creditors would be angry, and over time, some creditors would not come.

"Hello, I'm here to deliver medicine, Elixir Hall. A young voice came.

"It's okay, you see, it's a medicine delivery, I'll open the door. The man's brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes were confused with confusion and excitement.

After a sound of footsteps, there was a "squeak", and the old yellow wooden door opened, and the middle-aged man walked out.

After the man came out, he hurriedly closed the wooden door, holding the yellowed finger bones in his hand, and turned his face to look, the expression on his face was a little stunned, he had never seen the young man in front of him, he was not from the Elixir Hall!

"My lord?" asked the middle-aged man, puzzled.

"I'm interested in this of yours, I don't know what elixir you need?" Hu Jian went straight to the point.

"Lotus purple flower, two thousand taels or one blood spirit coin and one plant, you give it to me.. Is it okay to give me 10,000 taels?" The man squeaked, he raised the price to Hu Jian, and his heart was uneasy, but this was his last thing.

"It's 10,000 taels. Hu Jian frowned, slightly surprised in his heart, this lotus purple flower is usually used to suppress a kind of invisible Yeluo worm in the body of cattle and sheep, and mosquitoes will also enter the human body through diet, which is a terminal disease that cannot be cured and can only be delayed, and he now understands why the woman's voice is so weak.

"Thank you, thank you. The man was overjoyed, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"This is 10,000 taels, you can take this money and postpone it for another 5 months, or you can let me try your wife's sepsis. Hu Jian put away the hand bones in his eyes, he heard the conversation between the two just now, and he couldn't help but feel compassion under his emotion.

"What? You can cure sepsis. There was a look of ecstasy in the man's eyes, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"Only 50% sure, if she can't be cured, she will die. Hu Jian said.

There is a method of repairing the body with Yeluo insects in the general outline of insect venom, this Yeluo insect likes to drill in the blood vessels of sheep and cattle with fishy faces, and can attract them out with foreign eggs and cow eggs, and formally collect the method of Yeluo insects, but when the insects come out, they are likely to break through the blood vessels, so the sooner the treatment is better, and if you only use lotus flowers, at most 1 year of suppression, people will still be depleted of blood, organ failure and death, so the success rate is generally only 20%, and although the woman is weak, it is not serious, it should be at most two or three months, plus Hu Jian can use star power to protect the woman's heart, the success rate can be more than 3 percent。

"But... Can we treat it later?" the man wanted to wait and take the risk.

"The later the treatment, the lower the success rate, the inability to treat after six months, and I will leave in a few days. Hu Jian said in a low voice.

"I—" the man hesitated.

"You think about it for one night, and you can come to the Guo family's courtyard to find me. Hu Jian said.

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, sir. The man hurriedly thanked him.

"If you want to treat, prepare sheep eggs, cow eggs, the fresher the better. Hu Jian nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Hu Jian, who turned around, flashed a cold glint in his eyes, a man sneakily followed behind him, it has been 2 hours since he came out of the Guo family's courtyard, if it was a coincidence on the street in front, then now that he came to this remote farmhouse, the man was still ghostly, saying that there were no ghosts, and only ghosts would believe it.

Hu Jian didn't seem to be aware of it, slowly walking in the middle of the street, getting darker and darker, getting more and more deviant, looking at a dark alley in front of him, he turned around and walked in.

Not far behind him, a short man dressed in black and even wearing a black hood on his head, leaving only two black eyes, was sneakily following Hu Jian, this man was as light as a swallow, all walking in the deepest shadows, that is, his feet were stepping on the dead branches, and he could still not make a sound.

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he faintly felt in his heart that Hu Jian had discovered himself, otherwise how could he have walked to such a remote place for no reason, but it should be impossible, he was quite confident in his tracking technique, and it was absolutely impossible for a warrior without beast sense to discover himself.

The man in black hesitated for a while, his intuition over the years still made him feel that there was a trace of danger in the weirdness, he gritted his teeth, and he decided not to continue to follow him, and was about to turn around and leave, when a slight cough suddenly came from behind him.

The man in black was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good, and with a twist step under his feet, his body suddenly shot forward two meters, looking at Hu Jian, who was standing motionless behind him, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Hu Jian's voice was cold, and his eyes were fixed on the mid-level warrior man in front of him.

This man is thin, a head shorter than ordinary people, with a black robe and black shoes, and even a hood on his head after walking out of the bustling Xichengmen Commercial Street, if it weren't for Xiaobai's naughty, unstable in the inner pocket of his clothes, and even running around in the wide robe, Hu Jian would not have noticed that this man was following him.

"Don't get me wrong, I watched my brother walk out of the Duobao Pavilion, and I couldn't help but feel a little itchy, I wanted to see if I could steal two treasures, so I followed you. The man in black took off the black hat on his head, a young man in his 20s, ordinary, the kind that can't be found in the crowd.

"Oh, that's right. Hu Jian's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of relaxation.

"I'm sorry, brother, you see I didn't steal anything, or forget it, if it really doesn't work, I invite you to go to Yanliu Lane for a drink?" The man's face tightened, as if caused by embarrassment.

"No, that's the case, forget it. Hu Jian waved his hand, a look of relief on his face.

"Thank you brother for your magnanimity, then I'll go. The man clenched his fists slightly, his heart was relieved, and he said "sorry" again and walked past Hu Jian's side, looking like he was about to leave.

The man had just walked to Hu Jian's level, and when he was side by side with Hu Jian, he was about to walk forward, when he suddenly felt a sound of breaking the air coming from behind, the speed was fast, and in the man's panic, an iron rod smashed on his waist that he just wanted to dodge.

"Click" There was a crisp bone cracking sound, the man was only a samurai intermediate strength, this strength was extremely fierce, and while he was unprepared, he directly smashed three bones in his waist, and even his spine was shattered, under the huge force, the man screamed, wow, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell out of 2 meters.

Hu Jian looked at the man in front of him, this man obviously followed him from the very beginning, although he was puzzled at the time, but he was only a normal passerby, until Duobao Pavilion came out, he still saw this man, and then he didn't look like a thief at all, he didn't get close to walking on the crowded street, where is stealing, he pretended to take a detour, taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, he directly doubled the dark energy, and beat the man down.

"You?!" The man fell to the ground, feeling the huge pain coming from his body, and his lower limbs seemed to have left his body, and his face was frightened.

"Who the hell are you?" Hu Jian's eyes were cold, and he asked directly.

"I..."
