Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 34 Blood and Flowers (7) The First Taste of Wine

Xia Ming walked up to Dahan and stretched out his hand as a matter of course.

"What.." Dahan subconsciously touched the wooden box in his arms.

"Bring it, take it. ”

With killing people and goods, the rivers and lakes are necessary. Such good things, Xia Ming will not take them in vain.

He reached out and grabbed the wooden box, but the big man didn't let go, Xia Ming pulled it and dragged the wooden box over.

"I won't care about you. Mu Siyu said lightly, "Do bad things." ”

"This is called retribution for evil. Although Xia Ming said this, he immediately stayed away from the man.

Although the man heard the girl say this, he still did not act rashly.

Xia Ming said, "You finally spoke." ”

Mu Siyu stared at him and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

Xia Ming said: "Of course I know, otherwise it wouldn't be embarrassing for me to say into the air, 'Where is the master here, please show up', and even those children laughed at me, afraid that they would take me for a fool." ”

Mu Shiyu pouted, "You are." ”

Mu Siyu asked, "How do you know that there is something wrong with the meat in this pot?" ”

"At first I really didn't know, but then I noticed that they all looked at their bowls when they fell. Xia Ming pointed to the guys lying on the table except for the guys.

"Fluke. Mu Shiyu asked, "That old woman, how do you know that she has a problem?" ”

Xia Ming smiled: "When I was disobedient when I was a child, adults always used Chestnut Mother-in-law to scare me. So, the first time I saw the old woman, I was wary of her. ”

Mu Shiyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "That mother-in-law is really unlucky. So you take the old woman's chestnuts, and her accomplices have to appear. ”

Xia Ming shrugged and said, "How can I be so powerful." ”

He said, "I took the old woman's chestnuts just as a deal to buy and sell with her. He took my money, and it was fair for me to take her a chestnut. ”

"The old woman chose to leave because she saw me coming, because she had to make sure that everyone ate her chestnuts. But that big brother .." Xia Ming pointed to the big man on the ground and said, "He didn't know it, he had already lurked aside, and when he heard the voice of the old woman, he rushed up." Then I pushed the boat down. ”

"You are a scheming man. Mu Shiyu frowned and said.

"No matter how scheming a person is, he can't compare with the entire 'rivers and lakes', I just kept an eye out for them to see their lies, if you weren't there, I would have to eat this meat even if I didn't eat it, and I had to help count the money. ”

Xia Ming sighed, he walked to the big bowl on the small stove, and suddenly smiled: "But this wine, you have to drink it if you don't drink it." ”

Xia Ming felt as if he had swallowed the flames in his throat, his face turned red as if he had been peeked at by the girl in the bath, and he couldn't drink it anymore, but he pretended to be very arrogant and said, "Do you want to have a bowl too." ”

If you have drunk the wine of the rivers and lakes, you are the people of the rivers and lakes.

"You'd better not.." Mu Siyu was about to say a thing or two, and then Xia Ming staggered and fell on top of a big guy.

"Hey.." She anxiously picked up Xia Ming and shook it a few times, but there was really no movement.

Her eyes were cold, and she looked at the big man who was still walking on the side.

Dahan only felt a chill all over, and then looked at Xia Ming, who was unconscious, and was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, ".. This.. This.. Girl, it's none of my business... I saw that this little brother was new to the rivers and lakes, he didn't know spirits, and he couldn't drink alcohol."

Mu Siyu gritted his teeth and snorted, and carried Xia Ming back like a chicken.

The big man breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the quaint wooden box that had fallen on the ground, he secretly looked back, and after making sure that the girl had not returned, he carefully picked up the wooden box.

In the spacious attic, Xia Ming lay comfortably on the soft cushions.

"What's wrong with Brother Ming?" asked Zhang Monkey.

The girl frowned, and the monkey flew away.

The conductor didn't know where to get two large skewers of bacon back, a jar of old wine, and he didn't skimp, and he came out of the whole restaurant in the carriage, and everyone had a share. I just sent people to call the young man over again and again, but there was no response. The old man didn't think much about it, so he thought that this kid was not happy, you must know that meat is a very precious food in the territory.

Zhang Monkey came back and told everyone that Brother Ming was busy with more important things. Then he pushed the cups and changed the lamps with everyone, and the chopsticks flexibly shuttled on the dining table. Until they were slightly drunk, the old man of the train snatched their cups and said, "Why do young people drink so much, one or two cups are enough, next time I will get some strong, and I promise that you will all lie down as soon as you drink." Then he walked away with the jar in his arms under the jealous gaze of the crowd.

At night, the train rumbles through the barren wilderness, and the temperature drops considerably. The old man of the train dozed off against the door, and the red-hot charcoal fire in the fireroom glowed red.

Xia Ming slept more and more soundly, his nose let out a humming pig cry, and suddenly he seemed to show a smile, and muttered, ".. Snow.. Snow..."

Mu Siyu moved, she walked to the window, the transparent glass was suddenly covered with a thin layer of white mist, wiped away the white mist, with the help of the dim firelight, she quietly looked into the night. The barren field was silent, and countless scenes quickly receded, and the mountains in the distance ran towards her, and there was a brilliant light on the mountainside, and there was a large town on the scale. It is about to be close to the center of the territory, which is the relatively prosperous part of the territory.

Occasionally, a few snowflakes fell, and the cold was like an iceberg pressing down from the sky. For a long time to come, severe cold will become the norm, and in some areas, hunger will also become the norm.

————

Central of the territory. The main city of Yangdu.

Thousands of people gathered in a huge square, and it snowed heavily.

The soldiers barricaded the people under the viewing platform, and twelve masked apostles held flaming torches and turned their backs to a torture platform made of firewood.

There was a cross on the torture table, and a child under the age of ten was firmly trapped on it. This kid has no face, the audience is silent, looking at the faceless child in fear // Damn, I won't be blocked, right?

In the hearts of the people, they have tacitly regarded him as a traitor to mankind, an apostle of the devil.

The child was crying, but it didn't make a bitter sound. By now, he had forgotten what pain was, he was just scared, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes, which were full of distance, and left him alone in a place where no one was.

His eyes were sour from crying, some of the flesh on his face melted, and tears became thick blood stains on his neck.

"Execution!"

An old man in the white robe of the apostle proclaimed loudly.

Following the old man's order, the twelve masked apostles turned their backs to the crowd. Their mouths read at the same time: "O merciful spirit, purify all filth with fire." ”

They threw matches into the torture table, and the fire encircled the children. The apostles began to circle around the torture platform, reciting some unintelligible words with the old man.

Just as the people were quietly watching the torture platform being burned, a man in black jumped out of the crowd, stepped on the shoulders of the crowd and jumped onto the viewing platform, followed by kicking over the two apostles, cutting straight into the fire and leaving from the other side of the torture platform.

The old man was shocked and hurriedly caught him, and the crowd suddenly rioted out of control.

As the apostles, the guards crowded in the direction the man had left, a man in ordinary attire walked into the blazing torture table without anyone noticing.

A quiet street with the windows still open and the kettle in the room open.

The man came in silently and gently laid down the child, who had no face and was now in a state of fainting.

"Teacher. The man saluted respectfully.

The man who doesn't know his age and is called a teacher, let's call him an old man for the time being. The old man looked at the fainting child on the ground, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the knife." ”

The man hesitated, but finally handed his sword.

"Good knives. The old man seemed to be deliberate, and he seemed to praise from the heart.

He took off his shirt. ”

The man did so and turned the child's back to the old man.

The old man slashed at the child's vest, and the moment the flesh and skin opened, a tentacle similar to a centipede came out of it.

Seeing this scene, the man couldn't help but take a step back.

The old man picked the tip of his knife and cut the parasitic monster into three sections.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's just pure parasiticism, and there shouldn't be any infectious alien worms at this point in time." ”

The old man said, "Time is running out, you should go back quickly." Don't let others doubt you. ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

"One more thing. The old man took out a book from his sleeve, the title of the book [Wind and Snow Sword], and said: "This is the information of the Wind and Snow Swordsman, in the future, he will be you, and you will be him." ”

"Teacher.. I.." The man was silent and said, ". . . No one can be a predecessor. ”

"Of course, you can't be a senior in the wind and snow, at most you can only be impersonated. The old man laughed.

The man looked up, "Thank you, teacher." ”

The room was quiet again, and the old man bent his back slightly, picked up a broom and cleaned the floor, and it was strange that the seemingly sticky blood had turned into red dust after passing through his hands.

"Snow, it's back. ”

In a crowded civilian room, the man in black, who had just rushed into the execution table, stood up from a wooden table, opened the door, and a very beautiful girl stood in the wind and snow.

The man behind followed and carried the child into the house.

"He just passed out in a coma. Snow had to be reminded, "Don't wake him up, his breath is weak." ”

"This kid is the last clue about 'night', and he must not be allowed to have any accidents. The man in black said that he was covered with the smell of stinking smoke and that he had just come out of the group of apostles.

"Now all the gates of the main city are blocked, although we have a special password to pass. But in order not to attract attention, we might as well sneak out in the dark. Find a place to stay in the village near the main city, and set off when the day comes. He said.

"We can't stay here for too long. Another neutral and clear voice said, "Although the central capital is large, it is well organized. We rob the sinners of the spiritual apostles, and we are afraid that we will not be punished. Big brother, I have to say, this is the most daring move you have ever made in your life. ”

Xun said: "It was the snow that reminded me. Without further ado, leave the child in the care of Natsuki Akane, and let's go now. ”

A shadow stood up in the darkness and asked, "Where are we going after we get out?"

Xun said: "Let's see if we can ask for some night's whereabouts from this child, if it is not, we will go to Sanan." In addition, Master told me to beware of the ghosts of the resurgence of the territory, and he guessed that they were probably responsible. ”

"Ghosts?" said Akane Jiu, "I heard that they have been dead for hundreds of years. ”

"Who's who, where?" said an old voice outside the door.

"Oh no, let's go. Xun shouted.

The door slammed into pieces with the force of a huge palm.

The four figures jumped out at the same moment, and after finding the broken back, he also shot out with a palm in the face of the ushering palm power. The palm force collides, looking for a numb right hand, and at the same time, the body retreats with the help of palm power. Retreating out of the window, Xun jumped out like a nocturnal beast.

The apostle's knights rushed into the narrow house, and the old man waved his hand and said, "He can still escape if he is hit by me, and his strength is definitely not weak, so don't rush up and die." ”

The captain of the apostle's knights said, "Then how to explain to the archbishop." ”

The old man pondered for a while, and said, "Let's just say that it is the comrades of the 'night', they are very organized, and it is very likely that they are the ghosts of the resurrection." ”

After saying that, he jumped out of the window alone, and the snowflakes fell silently, and the night was silent. The old man sniffed the remaining smell of fire in the air and walked slowly on the snow.
