Chapter 100: Betrayal
Lu Qi carried the burden full of True Yang Grass and walked on an eight-lane wide street, looking for Anren Lane, where Li Tu and the big boss were hiding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The afterglow of the setting sun adds a bit of poetry to this green brick and green tile, loft-lined street. Walking along this street all the way, after asking several people along the way, Lu Qicai finally found the legendary Anren Lane.
However, as soon as I walked into Anren Lane, it was like entering another world. The scene that was still full of traffic and the shouts of the vendors disappeared all at once. The alleys were empty, every house was closed, and there was no one on the road. In the afterglow of the setting sun, this deserted alley looks more and more desolate.
A cool breeze blew, rolling up the leaves on the ground and making a rustling sound. But such a sound is even more bleak compared to the noisy street more than ten meters away.
It seems that it is really as Zhang Yuan said, since King An Yi came here, the people of Jiangzhou City have regarded this place as a forbidden place and have hid far away. Looking at the magnificent mansion at the end of the alley, Lu Qi shook his head, turned around and walked to the hiding place of the big boss.
Knock knock!
Lu Qi knocked on the door three times first, and the people inside opened the door for him. The one who opened the door was a little boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, staring at Lu Qi and asking with some fear, "Big brother, who are you looking for?"
Lu Qi didn't expect this to be the case, and he didn't know where Li Tu found the child to guard the door. He had no choice but to reply: "Is there a middle-aged uncle named Li Tu who lives here, I am here to find him." ”
"You came to Uncle Li. The little boy looked Lu Qi's burly figure up and down: "So you are Brother Huzi, then you come in!" After speaking, he opened the door and let Lu Qi walk in. Then the boy ran towards a room directly opposite the door.
Lu Qi shook his head, sure enough, he was still a child, and he silently closed the door. It was a courtyard house with a courtyard layout, and there were four or five children chasing and playing in the courtyard. Lu Qi was still a little confused for a while, and he didn't know where Li Tu found these children, whether they were abducted!
At this time, a deep voice came from the opposite room: "Is Huzi coming?
As soon as Lu Qi heard it, he knew that this was Li Tu's voice. He didn't hesitate at the moment, smiled at the children playing in the yard, and walked into the room.
As soon as you enter the door, a wave of heat hits your face. made Lu Qi feel as if he had entered a bathhouse in his previous life, and he felt like a sauna. When I walked in again, I saw the big boss sitting in a big wooden barrel with red fruits, and it was steaming hot. I don't know why the whole person of the big boss is shivering, as if it is very cold. Sitting in hot water, it gives the impression of falling into an ice cave. Lu Qi was about to walk in and have a look, but saw that on the other side of the room, Li Tu walked over carrying two wooden barrels that were still steaming outside.
"Huzi, take a hand!" Li Tu lifted the wooden barrel in his hand, which looked very heavy.
Lu Qi hurriedly stepped forward and helped him carry one. As soon as I got started, it was really a little heavy, about fifty or sixty pounds. The barrel contained some black goo, and a strong smell of herbs wafted out of it. Lu Qi saw that Li Tu just poured the contents of the wooden barrel directly into the big wooden barrel where the big boss was bathing, and he also poured the things in his hand into it.
"Is this a medicinal bath?" Lu Qi looked at Li Tu suspiciously.
Li Tu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "That's right, this is what the big boss ordered before, saying that doing so can suppress the flow of cold poison." ”
As soon as he mentioned the cold poison, Lu Qi immediately took off the burden on his body and handed it to Li Tu: "Uncle Li, this is the True Yang Grass, it's not enough, I'll go back and get it!"
Taking over the burden, Li Tu hurriedly opened it and took a look: "Sure enough, it's the real yang grass! Huzi, there is you! Now the big boss is saved, you come with me!" As he said that, he took the barrel and ran to the other side of the room. Lu Qi hurriedly followed, but he didn't expect that this small room didn't look very big from the outside, but there was a hole inside. Lu Qi followed Li Tu through a small door and walked into a hut. I saw that there were three cauldrons set up inside, and they were steaming out.
"Huzi, divide the True Yang Grass into three parts, put it in the cauldron and boil, and add it all to the big boss in a while. Li Tu walked to the corner of the hut, took a large bag of charcoal, and began to add it under the cauldron.
"Don't you need to take it internally?" Lu Qi was a little puzzled, in his opinion, the effect of taking it internally was obviously faster.
Li Tu took a long-handled birther and dialed the charcoal fire in the shelf: "No, the big boss has a miracle skill, and the medicinal bath quenching body is absorbed faster." I have added the potion four times to the big wooden barrel just now, you can see, it won't be long before the potion I just added will be diluted. ”
"There is also such an exercise, this is really good kung fu! After learning it, you will no longer feel bitter about taking medicine!" As he spoke, Lu Qi threw the True Yang Grass into the three cauldrons. After doing all this, the two of them finally rested.
Sitting on the ground, Lu Qi looked at Li Tu and said the question in his heart: "Uncle Li, what's the matter with those children outside? You didn't kidnap them there, right? Now the big boss's injury is critical, don't mess with the government!"
Li Tu scolded with a smile: "Fuck you kid, your Uncle Li is not such a bastard." Besides, even if your Uncle Li wants to abduct them, he will also abduct a few big girls with yellow flowers, and these little ghosts can sell them for a few dollars! These are all homeless little beggars in the city. I live here with the big boss, I don't know each other well, and it's not convenient to go out, and the big boss is injured, how can I rest assured that he is here alone. So I gathered all these little devils, and they helped me buy charcoal and food, and I took care of their food and shelter. When the big boss's injury is healed, I will ask if there is anyone willing to go with me, take it back to the cottage to be a little minion or something, and if you don't want to, give some money, just thank them for helping me, we don't owe each other. ”
"I didn't expect Uncle Li to be very moral to these children!"
"What a child, an adult. Huzi, Uncle Li will teach you again, there is no age difference when walking the rivers and lakes, don't look at some little ghosts who are young, but they have more flowers. You are a person who is easy to suffer, children, women, men full of benevolence and morality, you must be cautious when you meet these three kinds of people on the rivers and lakes. The first two look weak, but they can still survive in the rivers and lakes, which shows that they are not simple, so you have to be careful. The last one, you have to be more careful, because your Uncle Li has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and the people he has seen who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are all insidious villains who have tricks behind them, so you have to be careful. ”
Lu Qi nodded, but he didn't really care much in his heart. After a while, the herbs in the three cauldrons were boiled into whirring. The two of them strained the paste in the cauldron, put the mushy juice in two wooden barrels, and poured it into the large wooden barrel where the big boss bathed.
As Li Tu said, the big master had practiced a kind of miraculous skill, and when Lu Qi and the others went to pour the potion again, the black potion in the big wooden barrel just now had become a little transparent at this time. After pouring the potion, the two stood aside and looked at the big boss quietly, according to what Li Tu said, so many medicinal materials were enough for the big boss to temporarily suppress the injury. Although it is necessary to continue the medicinal bath for a period of time, after absorbing these potions, you don't need to soak in this large wooden barrel every day.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them looked at the big boss quietly, only to see that the water in the big wooden barrel was getting clearer and clearer, and the big boss's body slowly stopped shaking, and his face became more and more ruddy. Thinking that it should be almost over, Lu Qi was about to step forward to take a look.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the wooden barrel where the big boss was sitting was directly torn, and the juice with a strong smell of herbs spilled all over the room. The big boss stood up slowly in the midst of the ruins. Looking at the big boss with a naked fruit body in a pile of broken wooden boards, and his bumpy tendon meat.
Lu Qi couldn't help but burst out in his heart: "Terminator!"
"How does the big boss feel?" Li Tu handed over the towels and clothes that had been prepared long ago.
"It's okay, let's keep the injury down for the time being. I've heard it all, this time thanks to Hu'er for finding the True Yang Grass. By the way, Hu'er, where did you find the True Yang Grass?" said the big boss as he got dressed.
"I ......"
Before Lu Qi finished speaking, he saw a child running in in a panic.
"Uncle Li, the brother who came last time is here again, and he has brought a lot of people!
When Lu Qi heard that it was not good, could it be that the gang of men in black arrested Zhang Yuan and interrogated the address of the big boss. He leaned on the corner of the window and secretly looked out, it was already dark at this time, and Lu Qi didn't see it very really, only to see that the courtyard was full of black shadows, a young man holding a torch, standing diligently beside an old man with gray temples, pointing to the room where Lu Qi was and not knowing what he was talking about. Lu Qi took a closer look at this person who was Zhang Yuan! There was a arrest, this was obviously a refuge with those men in black!
