Chapter 6: Not for Ants (Part II)
Xu Mo understood a truth a long time ago: the anger of the weak is meaningless.
He held on to the table behind him, suppressed the annoyance in his chest and chased him out, Liu Changsheng's figure was already a few hundred meters away, and he couldn't catch up with him when he was in good health at such a speed.
For a while, anger, grievance, despair, and tyranny all kinds of emotions grew from his heart in a frenzy, but he no longer controlled them, but carefully savored them, he wanted to let himself deeply remember the feeling of this moment, remember that he was obviously the injured party, and wanted to sacrifice everything that could not be exchanged for forgiveness today, and he would never allow himself to be in such a miserable situation in the future!
Ants can only pray for the charity of others, and the strong can control their own destiny!
At this moment, he had a clearer understanding of the world, and at the same time, he also deeply reflected, his performance in the past two days was too passive!
He should not only put hope in the hands of the other party, but should have the power to make the other party pay attention to it - among the hundreds of prescriptions he wrote down from Baicaoju, not all of them are used to heal diseases and injuries, and there are also poisons!
Glancing at the sinking sun, he turned and walked towards the town's shops and other caravans.
There were a lot of caravans in the town that stopped here, and he quickly collected almost all the medicinal herbs he needed, although there were still a few flavors of medicine, but they were enough.
When he returned to the inn exhausted with the medicinal herbs on his back, the guy in the store stopped him, without any enthusiasm for his usual life, and said, "There is no room in the store, you better find another place!"
Xu Mo naturally understood the root cause of this situation, and also understood that arguing with them would not have any effect, so he walked directly to the counter, bowed his hand to the shopkeeper who was pulling the abacus, and said: "The shopkeeper, I have already paid for the room in advance, and now it's too late, please be accommodating, let me stay for another night, and leave tomorrow, how about it?"
The shopkeeper didn't raise his head and said, "Yes, but at most you can only stay until tomorrow." ”
It was three to five o'clock in the morning, that is, to ask him to leave before dawn, Xu Mo arched his hand, picked up the medicinal herbs and walked to the room.
The shopkeeper looked up at his background, looking tired and weak, but for some reason, he felt as if if he didn't agree just now, as if there would be a bad result......
Xu Mo entered the room and took out the medicinal herbs he bought and put them away, among which there were a few oval-shaped dried fruit shells, which he had prepared for himself.
He first boiled it together with a few herbs to make a soup, and then boiled the soup further, and as the water vapor evaporated, he finally left behind a spoonful of half-black sticky paste.
Staring at them, he didn't think much about it, took a tenth of it, and slowly felt that the pain was still intense, but it was not so painful to endure.
The pain was relieved, and he was able to concentrate on handling other herbs, either stir-fried or boiled, and before he knew it, the third watch had passed, and with the help of the ointment, he had finally completed it, and finally collected three packets of gray and yellow granules and two packets of white powder.
All the preparations had been made, and now he didn't know what time it was, so he lay down on the bed and rested for a while, and when he took one last look, there was only a third of the ointment left.
With the help of the ointment, he was able to fall asleep, but it didn't take long to hear the man knock on the door: "It's time, it's time to go." ”
Xu Mo sighed, reached out to pick up the black ball, pushed open the door and walked out under the gaze of the guy.
There was a moon, which did not affect the road, but Xu Mo still took two torches.
Changqiao Town is built near the river, because it is too convenient to walk from the water, there are only obvious roads in the west and north directions, and the south is still barren mountains and forests, but Liu Changsheng went to the south yesterday, and he naturally had to go to the south to find a good place to prepare in advance and wait for him.
Walking in the barren mountains and forests, the role of torches is naturally needless to say.
Walking out of the town with torches, he walked along the mountain river, and after a few steps he glanced back, and a few people behind him looked around and accelerated towards this direction.
He turned around and continued walking, collecting dry wood from the side of the road as he went, lit it under a cliff at the turn, stood on the side and threw a paper bag into it, and then continued on his way.
In fact, when he left the inn, he noticed that someone was watching him from behind the window, and at that time he thought about what might happen, and now that they really chased him, he naturally would not show mercy!
The paper bag he threw in was a "ghost killer" that Baicaoju used to deal with some large animals, and he saw with his own eyes that the poisonous smoke produced by a packet of medicinal powder killed a rock python more than ten meters long, although the one he made was missing a few medicinal herbs, but it was not something that ordinary people could stand it!
Soon after he left, three men came after him, and when they saw the fire, they all had a look of surprise and greed in their eyes, and then they gathered around him.
As they got closer, they saw that there was no one behind the fire, but they smelled a special fragrance in their noses, and then before they knew it, their breathing became heavier and heavier, and then the person in front fell to the ground with his neck clutched.
The people on both sides were startled at the same time, turned around and ran, but after running a few steps, it became more and more difficult to breathe, one of them continued to run forward, while the other short, small-eyed man held on to a tree, stuffed a few pills into his mouth, and then covered his neck and shouted: "I see you! Quickly hand over the antidote, otherwise Lord Liu will not let you go!"
He screamed several times, from a threat to a pleading, but there was no answer, and by this time the man who was running in front had fallen to the ground, and he was slowly silent after a burst of wild gasping......
At this time, it was early in the morning, there was silence around, and Xu Mo could naturally hear the shouts behind him, but he just counted as he walked, and he didn't stop until he counted until twenty, so he judged the power and onset time of the "ghost hand" medicine after a few less medicines, and then there was no more-even if there was no attitude factor shown by Liu Changsheng, in this wilderness, any kindness to them was irresponsible for his own life.
At dawn, he came to a hillside overgrown with pine trees.
The terrain here is high, not far from Changqiao Town, if Liu Changsheng comes back, he will definitely be able to see it, so after searching around, he leaned under a pine tree, took out dry food, and prepared to wait while eating.
The headache was still intense, so that he had no appetite, especially after the effect of the ointment passed, the pain was even more unbearable, he couldn't help but want to continue to take the medicine, but the ointment was not much, and he didn't want to be controlled by the ointment, so he broke the food into the size of a bean, and ate it little by little, the taste can only be described as painful!
Waiting in such a severe pain was naturally even more difficult, he stretched out his hand to the ointment several times, and forced himself to hold back, until he saw Liu Changsheng's figure from a distance, he was liberated, and quickly took out a little more ointment and took it.
According to Liu Changsheng's route and the surrounding terrain, Xu Mo walked down for a distance, and then waited for the other party to turn out of the boulder in front of him, he stood up and arched his hand, and greeted him from afar: "Lord Liu!"
Liu Changsheng pondered gloomily on his face, his clothes were torn in a few places, and there were a few blood stains, he saw and recognized Xu Mo at a glance, and couldn't help but be furious, in his eyes, the number of people like ants caused him trouble, it was damned!
Xu Mo immediately noticed the other party's inadequacy, but he must cure his headache this time, so he bowed again and saluted: "Lord Liu, I am willing to dedicate all my net worth and five hundred taels of silver to my lord, I hope my lord can forgive me and relieve my pain!"
Liu Changsheng frowned, five hundred taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, like his Yulu, it is only a dozen taels of silver a month, these people are enough for the expenses of an ordinary family for a year, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Mo seriously, and asked indifferently: "Where is your house?"
If he had a deeper understanding of the surrounding forces, Xu Mo would definitely take this opportunity to pull the tiger skin on his body to increase the weight of the negotiation, but he went all the way, at most he listened to Xu Wangcai talk about some gossip in the market, and understood a little bit of fur, the other party, as the head catcher of Fucheng, is a professional, and it is not a wise choice to borrow from others, so he simply replied: "I am from Qing'an County." ”
He is also a little familiar with Qing'an County, if you ask carefully, you can also use the name of Xie Yuanwai, but this is not the key to the problem, the key is how to let the other party cure his headache, so he once again arched his hand and said: "Lord Liu, you are a powerful person in the Yuan Realm, I am just an ordinary person, please also ask you to spare this experience, if you have other requirements, I will definitely find a way to do it in the future!"
Qing'an County is the most remote county, Liu Changsheng thought about it a little and found that there were no forces in it that needed to be scrupulous, at this time, after listening to Xu Mo, he looked up, only to see Xu Mo standing opposite with a headache, but he always felt that something was wrong.
He quickly recalled how many times he had met, and suddenly understood that when Xu Mo faced him, although he was respectful on his face, he did not have the kind of awe in his bones that ordinary people saw!
Moreover, the headache that made Xu Mo painful was caused by the exercises he realized from a few fragments of the pages, since he realized this exercise, once the opponent whose skill was lower than him was hit, he would collapse in a short time, and there were few who lasted three days, if he remembered correctly, Xu Mo had been holding out for two days, and he was just an ordinary person who was obviously not in good health, and he dared to find him twice after he refused......
This kind of perseverance and temperament can't help but make him jealous!
As a catcher, he is naturally well-informed, and he has seen many people with similar personalities finally trample the original oppressor under their feet, and his actions naturally offended Xu Mo fiercely!
But why give them the opportunity to grow?
His heart was cold, and he instantly became murderous!
"Okay!"
He replied indifferently, staring at Xu Mo and walking over with his feet raised.
Hearing his answer, Xu Mo was overjoyed at first, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Liu, for your magnanimity!"
Then he saw that Liu Changsheng's expression and movements obviously felt inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "Wait-" He took a deep breath, looked at the other party and said, "Lord Liu, we have no grievances, you are really willing to forgive you, right?"
"You deserve it!"
Walking within ten meters, this distance has been completely ignored for Liu Changsheng, Xu Mo's life and death are completely under his control!
He lifted the chains in his hands.
Xu Mo sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and the mirage of the Starry Sky Divine Mountain once again emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He would rather endure hellish pain and humiliation than use the mirage ability again, because the feeling and consequences of using the mirage last time made him worry that there would be more serious consequences if he used it again, and even his body might not be able to withstand the consumption of the mirage and die directly!
But since he couldn't avoid it, he also gave it a go!
Maybe he feels that this time may be the last time to use the ability of the mirage, he suddenly has some yearning and nostalgia for the starry sky and the sacred mountain in the mirage, which is full of vitality and vitality, if he can live there, his overdrawn life body may slowly make up for it, and the pain on his body can also be washed away by the starlight full of vitality, right?
With that yearning and nostalgia, Xu Mo slowly opened his eyes, and then there was a pain in his chest, and a burst of heat spurted out of his throat, he quickly covered it with his hand, and blood flowed out from between his fingers.
Glancing at Liu Changsheng, who was standing a few steps away, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his mouth, then pulled out a knife and walked to his side step by step.
The knife, with a cold light, slashed again.
To Xu Mo's surprise, the extremely sharp knife he sharpened failed to cut through the skin on the other party's neck, and moreover, Liu Changsheng's face burst out with green tendons, and his eyelids trembled, as if he was about to struggle out!
Is this the martial artist of the fourth layer of the Earth Yuan Realm?
Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out a paper bag from his arms, and then pressed it on the other party's mouth and nose - this time it was not the "ghost hand", but the "thousand silk hand", in addition to the use of the method, he was also worried about poisoning himself, and the thousand silk hand is different, although it is a poison against beasts, the effect is to make them fall asleep.
As soon as he inhaled Qiansi's hand, Liu Changsheng's eyelids loosened, and he quickly stopped struggling.
Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but the action just now made his abdomen cramp again, and it seemed that he was about to vomit blood again, and he felt that his strength was losing rapidly.
Thinking that a knife can't cut through the other party's skin, can't you kill the other party?
No, Liu Changsheng must die! His only chance of life is that the other party has to die!
He looked at Liu Changsheng's eyes and ears, and finally fixed on his ears - even if he could train his skin to be extremely tough, there were some places where he might not be able to practice!
A cloud in the sky blocked the sun, darkening this side of the pine forest.
After a while, Xu Mo covered his mouth and stumbled out of the pine forest, and behind him, Liu Changsheng opened his eyes, and blood hurt from his ears, nose, and mouth.
