Chapter 48: Ambush
The weather is sunny, the sun is shining but not strong, and it is exceptionally warm in this dry and cold season.
Li Mubai and Murong Qing rode side by side, the two left the town early in the morning, and now it was almost noon, the horses were tired, and they planned to find a place to rest.
"Do you see there's a tea shed in front?" Murong Qing asked, pointing uncertainly.
Li Mubai gathered his eyes and looked at it carefully: "It should be right, it just so happens that we will go there to rest and let the horses rest for a while." ”
"Good!"
The tea shed is not big, with four small tables, and the overall look is very simple.
Li Mubai and Murong Qing got off their horses, tied their horses to the pillars, and walked into the tea shed, Li Mubai said, "Boss, do you have anything to eat?"
It's already noon, Li Mubai plans to solve the lunch too, although the system space is filled with food, but Murong Qing is next to him, it's not good for him to conjure things out of thin air, right?
"Guest, we have peanuts, fried soybeans, and wine here, and if you want to fill your stomach, we also have steamed buns and noodles here. ”
The boss was a man who looked to be in his fifties, with a somewhat rickety figure, very short, skin like tree bark, and no flesh on his face.
Li Mubai turned his head and asked Murong Qing, "What do you want to eat?"
"Then let's have a bowl of noodles!"
I drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, which would have been digested a long time ago, and I just ate a bowl of noodles to fill my stomach.
"Boss, let's have two bowls of noodles!"
"Wait, officer!"
Li Mubai and the two found an empty table and sat down, and then looked at the other guests.
On Li Mubai's left are a young couple in their twenties and a little boy of five or six years old, while in front of him are two plainly dressed farmers, and diagonally opposite are two men with swords and swords, dressed as Jianghu people.
After two glances, Li Mubai lost interest, but Murong Qing stared at the young couple.
Li Mubai lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you always staring at others?"
Murong Qing came back to her senses and was a little excited, but she still consciously lowered her voice: "Those two people are not simple, I feel a trace of danger in them. ”
Li Mubai didn't doubt Murong Qing's judgment, so he looked at the two of them intently and found some things that he hadn't noticed before, such as the man's hand, only by using a certain weapon for a long time would the fair-skinned and slender hand be covered with calluses. And if the woman's hand is looked at carefully, there will be a feeling of blue and black, but it is not obvious, and if you don't pay attention, you will ignore it.
"You don't want to challenge others, do you?" Li Mubai retracted his gaze and warned, "People still have children around them, and neither of them is easy to mess with, in case you are regarded as an enemy, mixed doubles, I won't help!"
"I didn't say I was going to challenge, besides, how do you know people won't accept my challenge?"
“......”
Girl, you've exposed your purpose!
Li Mubai didn't bother to pay attention to her, picked up the noodles on the table, and began to eat.
The noodles are just ordinary Yangchun noodles, but Li Mubai is sure that this Yangchun noodles are the best Yangchun noodles he has ever tasted, and he eats them very deliciously.
Seeing that Li Mubai ignored her, Murong Qing was not angry, but she didn't stare at the couple anymore, and ate noodles with peace of mind.
"Are you quite laid-back?" a burly, bald head walked into the tea shed and walked straight towards the young couple.
The man in the couple raised his head, looked at the bald head, and said in a cold tone: "You guys are really ghostly, I can see you everywhere you go!"
The bald man was not ashamed, but laughed: "It's over, as long as you hand over that thing, I will let you go immediately!
"Are you so confident, aren't you afraid that we will slaughter you?" the young man's voice was not good, but his body did not move.
"Since I dare to come, I naturally won't be unprepared, haven't you noticed it too? Otherwise, with your methods, you would have done it a long time ago, where would you be verbose with me here!"
"Really?"
A sword light suddenly lit up, and the target was a bald head.
"Ding"
The bald man retreated, stood at the door of the tea shed with a knife, and smiled: "I have long guessed that you will suddenly attack, since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame me for being polite!"
With the bald man's heavy drinking, the three sides of the tea shed suddenly fell outward, and more than a dozen black-clothed people were revealed, looking at the family of three with a fierce look in their eyes, and they raised their knives to kill them.
The young man did not retreat to his wife's side, but ran to the bald man's side, and a series of sword lights shrouded the bald man,
The heart finally landed.
"I lost this time!" Li Mubai said calmly, if Murong Qing immediately fired another sword qi, he would definitely die.
Murong Qing shook his head: "It's me who lost, after using that move, I have no power to attack, and now my hands and feet are a little weak! It seems that I have to get used to this feeling of depleted sword qi." ”
Li Mubai was clear, just like him before, after Murong Qing shot out that sword qi, it was like the whole person was hollowed out, and he had also experienced this feeling.
"Can you still go?" asked Li Mubai.
"It's okay, I'm not going to be able to walk. ”
But soon a new problem came to them.
Li Mubai looked at the not-so-high wall in front of him: "Can you still climb over it now?"
"I didn't ...... Issue. Murong Qing's confidence was a little lacking, before the change, she naturally turned over every second, but now, she raised her leg with some difficulty, not knowing if she could directly hit it......
Observing Murong Qing's hesitant expression, Li Mubai knew that her previous words were just hard mouths.
"Why don't you rest for a while, after all, you must be tired after the competition just now, right?"
Hearing this, Murong Qing nodded hurriedly, such a good step, of course, you have to go down, do you have to experience the experience of being in the restaurant that day?
The two chose a relatively clean place to sit down, and for a while, the two didn't know what to say, so they fell silent.
This kind of quietness made Li Mubai feel a little uncomfortable, and he said without words: "Where do you live?"
"Fortune Inn, but I don't have any money on me now...... Murong Qing's words gradually became weak, she knew that Li Mubai had already noticed that she had no money on her, but she was still a little embarrassed.
"So you don't have a place to live now?"
Murong Qing bit her lower lip and nodded silently.
"Alas, then you can go back with me later?" After getting along, Li Mubai still has a good impression of this nervous girl, and he doesn't mind helping her.
"Really, thank you!" Murong Qing was overjoyed, is a penny a "hero", please pay attention to this one who has never gone so far to read the latest chapter
