The hottest part of the day has passed, yet the sun is still poisonous, especially in the open areas of the mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nian Jiang wiped his sweat, he had been standing in this place for about a stick of incense.

The location of this fork in the road is very disgusting, it happens to be a little far away from the post station, and Nian Jiang doesn't want to go back at all. He glanced at the fork in the road, and the difficulty of choosing made him feel irritated in the bottom of his heart.

Digging out the package, the pocket, Nian Jiang only took out a handful of broken silver. "Yes," he said, putting the silver back and crouching down and scooping up a handful of stones, "wait and see which way you land." ”

Then he stood up, raised his hand with his back to the fork in the road, and threw the stone out.

"Three-two-one!" Turning around suddenly, Nian Jiang counted the small dirt pits smashed by the gravel on the ground, and decided to go to the left.

He walked over and rubbed his feet on the ground, and the small dirt pit was easily covered by the dirt. patting his pants, Nian Jiang wiped his sweat and went to the left.

I heard that there are a lot of bandits and bandits in the world of rivers and lakes, and almost every protagonist will meet them when they come out to shop, and then educate the bandits to be human beings and eliminate harm for the people. If I do, I'll deal with him a few times, and I won't believe that I can't do anything with my mouth, and then we fight......

Nian Jiang is still happily opening his mind.

However, when the sky was already dark, and Nian Jiang couldn't think of anything after squeezing his brain dry, he still didn't encounter the bandits

"......" glanced at the sky, and then looked at the dense and dark forest next to him, Nian Jiang hesitated for a while, "I heard that the store said that it is far away from the next town, should I continue to lie in the wild for a night or continue to walk?"

Walking out of this section, this legendary official road has become much more spacious, and the shadows of the trees next to it are not as scary as they looked before.

Nian Jiang thought about it and decided to continue walking.

Although the official road is relatively safe, he always feels that something will happen. Whether it was an illusion or a psychological factor, Nian Jiang didn't want to think about it anymore, and he continued to hurry after resting.

Because of the fact that he had practiced martial arts and had become a semi-poisonous person, Nian Jiang did not feel that his legs were sore, but if ordinary people kept walking for an afternoon, he would have already fallen down.

No wonder it is said that the ancient people had to go out a year and a half in advance to catch an exam, and they didn't know if they were able to study hard for more than ten years in a hurry, etc., what should those old candidates do...... Nian Jiang watched the sky gradually become dark, and thought bitterly.

"Tuk ...... Sincere...... Tu, Du" Nian Jiang turned his head sideways, and he heard a sound in the distance.

Carefully identify the sound of moving on the ground.

Ma! Nian Jiang's eyes lit up.

Wait, isn't it the ...... that will come from that side at this time? Qianmeng!

When Nian Jiang thought of this, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten something he shouldn't eat. God, I don't want to see the right path at all these days!

He thumped his waist and didn't plan to hide anywhere. His martial arts can hear distant sounds, let alone others, and dodging may be considered a sign of weakness.

The voice was close, Nian Jiang's body was shocked, and he slowly turned his head-

A group of people were riding horses with torches and rushing towards this side, and it was too dark to see the color of their clothes.

As the sound of horses' hooves became louder, the group approached Nian Jiang, and Nian Jiang was stunned for a moment when he saw their clothes clearly.

If it weren't for his colorblindness, it would be ...... Black?

Nian Jiang stuck on the side of the road like a log, and the black-clothed man and bird riding past him did not bird him, and he suddenly disappeared with dust and dirt.

Nian Jiang was pounced on by the dust and sand on the road where the horses ran, and he was bending over to cover his face and coughing in pain.

When the cough was enough, I looked forward again, and I could only see the foggy color of the fire in front of me.

These people give a share of ...... The feeling of cold silence, no one made a sound during the whole process, and even the sitting posture was very standard. Nian Jiang wiped his face and thought. He didn't notice it.

However, this kind of aura and dress should not be the righteous people seen in that nameless town, Nian Jiang saw that they were very energetic. Thinking of those righteous people, Nian Jiang inevitably thought of the poison doctor lying in the secret room.

It's a good master and apprentice, and Nian Jiang lit a wax for the poison doctor in his heart. The secret room was covered in blood when he saw the poison doctor, and since he closed the door later, it was impossible for the poison doctor to push the door open even if he was not seriously injured, and the possibility that the poison doctor was still alive when he arrived in town in the evening before the righteous path set off.

The scene of the fork in the road suddenly flashed in his mind, and Nian Jiang Xindao This group of people should have come from the fork.

Nian Jiang waited for a while and continued to walk forward.

It was not until the middle of the moon that Nian Jiang vaguely saw the shadow of a building not far in front of him.

"It's here!" Nian Jiang was overjoyed.

It was late at night, and there were no lights on in the town. Nian Jiang walked down the bleak street with a depressed face. This town is indeed much larger than the previous one, and the buildings are more sophisticated, and it looks like it is relatively wealthy.

"It's a watch!" "Bang!" The voice of the husband came not far away.

Nian Jiang stood still, he had a hunch that when the next husband arrived at this intersection, he might see him, and maybe he could solve the problem of accommodation.

Sure enough, when the sound of the watch sounded again, it was already at the intersection in front of Nian Jiang, and the husband that Nian Jiang had been thinking about finally turned a corner and appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?" the husband took the mallet and walked over and looked at Nian Jiang with a wary face.

"Well, I'm a traveling doctor, and I'm passing by here......" Nian Jiang looked embarrassed, looking innocent at the husband.

"That's ......" The husband looked him up and down, and then said to the intersection where he came, "At this point in time, only Lu Laojiu's shop is still open over there, you can go quickly." ”

"Thank you, thank you. After Nian Jiang thanked him, he ran in the direction that the husband pointed out.

Turning the corner, I saw a candle light coming from a door.

Nian Jiang was overjoyed and ran faster. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Nianjiang, the whole person was not good.

A group of people dressed in black contracted the entire inn, and the hall was full of seats for four people at a table. They sat in a standard position, with their backs straight and their hands on the stools on either side, and there were only a few empty bowls on the table, and their movements were almost carved out of a mold. A dead silence permeated the small inn.

Hearing Nian Jiang's footsteps, everyone turned their heads to look at him in unison.

Nian Jiang has already stepped in with one foot, and he is not going to enter this time.

"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a knock on his back, and Nian Jiang didn't react for a while and staggered a few steps forward.

"I said, if you want to enter, what will you do in the way. Nian Jiang turned around, and a man holding the wine jar was looking at him with a smile.

Only one of the two doors of the inn was opened, and Nian Jiang stood there without moving, which naturally blocked his way. He squeezed Nian Jiang and walked in, and said to the group of black-clothed people: "Brothers are drinking!"

Hearing this, one of the people sitting at the table by the door stood up and walked over to take the wine from the man's hand.

The man's hand was empty, and he turned sideways, followed by two men in black holding several cans of wine. All the people at the table got up, borrowed wine, and began to pour table by table.

A bunch of people sat in front of them, each with an expression on their faces that you owe me money, well, actually expressionless. Several black-clothed people poured wine along the way, and the sound of "swish" wine was extremely strange in this dead and silent lobby.

Nian Jiang's whole body froze. He looked over the counter and saw no one else.

"Well, my brothers like to drink the most, don't be surprised by the little brothers. The man stroked his beard and smiled, then pointed to the curtain next to the counter, "The shopkeeper should be inside, if you want to stay in the hotel, go there and find it." ”

"Thank you, brother. Nian Jiang said cautiously, and then subconsciously took a breath and walked around a few tables.

Before he could walk over, the shopkeeper who heard the sound opened the curtain and walked out, he tried to put on a smiling expression to greet Nian Jiang, and said as he walked: "Guest officer, please come with me." ”

Walking up the stairs, when I turned the corner and couldn't see the shadow of the group of people downstairs, the shopkeeper's smile broke through.

"Guest, this is the room, what more orders do you need?" the shopkeeper asked, pushing open the door of a guest room.

“...... Boiled some bath water. Nian Jiang thought about it and said.

"Okay, right away. The shopkeeper said with a wrinkled face.

Seeing this, Nian Jiang asked, "Does the shopkeeper know the following...... What kind of people are they, the atmosphere is weird and terrifying. ”

"It's not," the shopkeeper looked worried, "just now the little old man wanted to doze off for a while, but he didn't expect those masters to come in, and he sat there without any orders, but he scared the little old man to death." ”

Then the shopkeeper and Nian Jiang blew a few more words and went down the stairs on the other side, and the shopkeeper and Nian Jiang explained that the staircase led to the backyard, and Nian Jiang could come down to him if he needed anything.

Nian Jiang took a few pieces of broken silver and stuffed it into him, and his wrinkled old face relaxed a lot.

Nian Jiang waited in the room for a while, and there was a knock on the door.

Deeply influenced by Chu Ying, Nian Jiang asked who opened the door after getting the answer from the shopkeeper this time.

The shopkeeper was a young and strong man, he came in with two buckets of water, and poured the water into the bathtub before going out.

Nian Jiang stopped him, stuffed a few pennies into him, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, this is Beikou Town?"

"Yes, guest officer, you can tell me if you need to do something. The little brother happily stuffed the copper coin into his pocket, and the anger of being disturbed when he had just fallen asleep was completely gone.

"Is there a pharmacy or a grocery store here?" asked Nian Jiang.

"Alas, don't worry, guest officer, although our town is small, it has all kinds of organs! The shopkeeper patted his chest and said.

"Well, that's good," Nian Jiang took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to him, "I need a larger medicine box and two sets of clothes, you can buy me some dry food." Thanks a lot. ”

"No thanks, no thanks. The shopkeeper shook the silver and responded with a smile.

Early the next morning, shortly after Nian Jiang woke up, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, and then handed Nian Jiang what he wanted.

Nian Jiang took the things and said briskly: "You don't have to give the rest of the silver, you can keep it." ”

"Yo, thank you officer!" the shopkeeper left with a smile.

Holding something and walking to the bed, Nian Jiang picked up the package, patted the medicine box and said, "I'm sorry for you, haha, I finally have a medicine box, now I'm like a doctor." ”

He sat down, turned the box over, and looked at it.

The box is about one foot long and four inches wide, and there are some patterns engraved around the box, but the carving is rough, and it looks okay from a distance. There are strips of cloth fixed at both ends of the box, and Nian Jiang picked it up and looked at it and felt that he could carry it on his back.

Nian Jiang estimated, and after the cloth wiped the medicine box clean, he unwrapped the package with a smile and sorted everything inside neatly and put it in the medicine box.

After it was cleaned up, Nian Jiang looked at the cloth that contained the things and how it was not as pleasing to the eye as the box. Rushing away with his arms before, the cloth was dirty and had been broken in a few places, so Nian Jiang picked up the cloth and rolled it and threw it on the ground.
