Chapter 53: Expectations (4)
Hu Tan finally found Shui Biqing's residence. Different from the cold silence of Bai Xian's residence just now, this small building was brightly lit and full of people, and many maidservants shuttled back and forth like ant colonies.
The only granddaughter of the owner, what a delicate figure, she was injured, and all the subordinates were so anxious that their feet did not touch the ground, and hurriedly decocted the medicine and delivered water. The anti-heart mantra is a collection of poison and curse poison in one of the harmful charms, the onset is slow and urgent, at that time Hu Tan was anxious to protect himself, the hand can really not be light, and the poison is not ordinary. Without his own rescue, it would be unimaginable with Zhaojiazhuang's wealth and the abundance of Tibetan medicine.
Embraced by several maidservants and walked into the inner room on the second floor, Hu Tan heard the little girl's sobbing cry, and his heart swelled with guilt. At that time, he was forced by the situation to attack this innocent little girl, which was actually against his heart, not to mention that Bi Jing was still kind and sympathetic to him, and the young man felt that he was too big. He hurried inside, and at a glance he saw Shui Jian circling around the bedside like a burning butt.
"Wow, little thief, you still dare to come!" As soon as Shui Jian saw him, his eyes turned red, and he swept four or five feet away, and grabbed his chest and clothes with both hands.
"I'm here to save her. Hu Tan said calmly, and the owner of Qingqing Lake House was stunned for a moment, and his hand loosened a little. Hu Tan threw his eyes into the tent, and saw Shui Biqing lying on a bright red velvet blanket crying, her clothes were lifted up, and her slender back was bare, Hu Tan saw the consequences of his hot hand on it, and more than a dozen thin green lines were tangled and entangled on the little girl's snow-white skin, horizontal and vertical, terrifying. These green threads are deeply seared under the cortex and move around like living insects. Every time the head touches, it suddenly bursts into green light. At this time, Bi Jing will suddenly arch her back and cry out in pain.
Not only is the shape of the Anti-Heart Curse Worm terrifying, but the pain it causes to the recipient is also incomparable. The curse and the poison attack at the same time, harming the mind and the body. Hu Tan saw Shui Biqing's petite face stained with tears, and he could imagine how sad she was tortured by this poisonous trick.
"Let me go, she is very uncomfortable, and the sooner she resolves it, the sooner she relieves the pain. Hu Tan whispered that he was filled with apology at this time, and Shui Jianruo beat him at this time. He will never dodge. But Shui Jian was worried about his daughter, how dare he use it again, his palm was loose and made way of the way, Hu Tan walked straight to the bed, stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Biqing's back.
The sudden cold made the little girl shiver again, and she sobbed lowly. Hu Tan no longer hesitated, muttered a mantra in his mouth, and began to draw circles on Biqing's back. The large snares are in the middle circle, and the middle sare is in the small circles. Layers of indentation. With the help of the spell, Hu Tan's fingers were like a shepherd's whip, driving all those arrogant green threads into the circle, and soon. All the curse worms were entangled in a ball, fused together, and were pressed into a small circle and could not move.
"Quit evil. Hurry away!" Hu Tan raised his finger, and the green light burst out. He was guided into the air by his hands. Hu Tan's palm did not stop, drawing a flower charm in the air. Falling behind Bi Jing again, he wrote down the evil spell in one go, and then took out the rune paper from his arms, ignited in the air, and pressed the invisible circle he had just drawn with the fire paper.
The flames turned from red to green, and then from green to red, and during this time, Biqing did not feel anything, and there was no damage to the burned area.
"Well, two more hours of rest, and she'll be able to recover. Hu Tan said with a sweaty face, the exorcism just now really took him a lot of effort.
"Biqing," Shui Jian called softly, "are you still in pain?"
The little girl didn't answer, her shoulders swayed, she was still crying, and there were signs of crying more and more. Shui Jian only said that his daughter was still in pain, and he glared at Hu Tan viciously, wanting to listen to his explanation.
Hu Tan hesitated slightly, then said in a low voice: "Uncle Shui, I offended you just now, I don't want to hurt Miss Biqing at all...... If you can't get angry, beat me up, and I'll feel better. ”
"Daddy, I don't hurt anymore. Bi Jing, who was sobbing with her head down, suddenly spoke.
Shui Jian's heart was wide.
"I'm almost done. She said with a crying voice.
"Hu Tan," Bi Jing still didn't raise her head, Hu Tan heard her bite her lip and speak, and her heart darkened, "I didn't treat you badly, but you ...... You ......" she paused suddenly, her shoulders jerking violently again, but the little girl was clearly suppressing her emotions and did not let the cry erupt. Hu Tan heard the blame in her words, and felt sad for a while.
After a long time, Bi Jing sobbed and gradually quieted down.
"I know, you're here to save your aunt...... Really?" her voice trembled, as if hopeful. Hu Tan whispered, "Yes, I was also forced to ......"
"I don't blame you. Bi Jing said quickly. Hu Tan looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect this little girl with jade leaves and golden branches to be so sensible and tolerant. He also used poison to sympathizers, making her suffer so much, he would not be surprised if Shui Biqing wanted to scold him, or even beat him, but the little girl's forgiveness caught him off guard.
"You didn't mean to hurt me, and I don't blame you. Bi Jing finally raised her face, her bangs were wet with tears, and they formed locks and locks, but her snow-white face under the black hair was still a piece of luxury. Hu Tan nodded silently, looked at her, and saw that grievances gradually surged into Biqing's two eyes, "Bang!" A large tear rolled down onto the quilt again.
Half an hour later, Hu Tan came back from Biqing, and his heart was still full of self-blame. Shui Jian didn't beat him again, and Bi Jing didn't blame him anymore, but the little girl felt aggrieved in the end, and cried in front of him, so that Hu Tan couldn't sit down anymore, so she panicked and found an excuse to quickly escape back.
"If only he would have beaten me. Hu Tan thought to himself, full of taste. For teenagers, physical pain is much better than inner guilt. "Forget it, don't think about it, it's already happened, and it's useless to think about it. I've been out for so long, my aunt should be worried. Hu Tan pushed the door and walked into the room, but when he entered the eyes, he saw a bald strong man like an iron tower sitting with his back to the door, talking to Qin Su.
"Brother Hu is back. When Lei Hong saw Hu Tan enter the door, he hurriedly stood up and said.
"Uncle Ray, why are you here?"
"I'm here to inform you that someone wants to do you badly. ”
"Who's going to be bad for me?" Hu Tan asked. He closed the door. This result had been expected by him, but he just didn't expect it to come so quickly. Lei Hong informed him of the deliberations of the heads of the next room. "You'd better think of a way, it's better to get out of here. I see they've all lost their composure. So many people agreed to imprison you. ”
"Thoughts?" Hu Tan smiled bitterly in his heart, so many people are dissatisfied with themselves, what is the magic method that can make everyone change their opinions? If they can't eliminate their resentment, then any method can only cure the symptoms. He groaned slightly, but secretly looked at Lei Hong, as he had observed before, Lei Hong was not a person who cared about the city, it seemed that he came to tell him the news, it was really out of enthusiasm. The teenager didn't expect it. In a storm in Zhaojiazhuang, he will gain the friendship of this strong man.
As for leaving Zhaojiazhuang, this was originally the thief's plan. However, after hearing Lei Hong say this, he had some concerns.
"I'm afraid that the timing is not right, so many people are thinking about dealing with me, and if we go out rashly, I'm afraid it's going to be bad. ”
Lei Hong was stunned for a moment, and came to his senses: "Yes, I live in the village now, and Uncle Ling Fei is watching them." They don't dare to use force yet, and when you go out, they will have no scruples. ”
Hu Tan nodded slightly and glanced at his aunt. Seeing Qin Su's dazed look, he obviously had no idea in his heart. He bit his lip and slowly fell into deep thought. A moment later. His brow furrowed suddenly.
"No, we still have to go!" Hu Tan said.
Lei Hong looked at him a little inexplicably. I don't know what he thought of, why he suddenly wanted to leave again.
The boy bowed his head in contemplation. He didn't speak for a long time. After a moment, he suddenly turned his face and asked Lei Daring: "Uncle Lei, do you have anything else to do here?"
Lei Hong said, "I? I'm fine. I came here to see the lantern lighting ceremony of the Shushan faction, and now that I have finished watching it, I will leave to go back in the next two days. ”
"Well," Hu Tan nodded, "Since Uncle Lei is fine, how about you come with us?"
Lei Daring suddenly understood what he meant, laughed, and said happily: "Hey! It's not the same if you leave early or late! That's it, I'll go with you!"
Hu Tan grinned: "That's great! With a good man like you, you are not afraid of a villain." ”
Because Hu Tan suddenly thought that there are many people in Zhaojiazhuang who are dissatisfied with themselves, which is an out-and-out fact. With Ling Fei in town right now, of course he and his aunt have nothing to do. But it was impossible for Ling Fei to live in Zhaojiazhuang for a year and a half, what should he do when the time came? Can he still hide in Zhaojiazhuang?
From the different colors on the faces of the servants who brought in the ginseng soup just now, you can imagine what Zhao Jiazhuang thinks of him now.
Rather than being thrown into the street with blank eyes and then chased and intercepted by an angry crowd, it is better to leave now and flee while everyone is worried and have no time to separate, and there should be fewer people looking for trouble.
With an enthusiastic Lei bold escort, the two of them can leave the Lund Mansion safely.
In the next room, the heads of the house were arguing.
Now there are more than 30 people in the room, and the leaders of more than 20 gangs are divided into two factions, one is the old and serious leaders such as Ling Fei, Hongyuan, and Zhang, and the other is the gang leader led by Jiang Chao who insists on luring out Hu Buwei with tricks. The Central Plains hero did not come out, he just vaguely said that he thought that the idea of drawing out Hu Buwei was correct, and he was a figure of Jiang Chao's faction.
The situation of Ling Fei and the others was very bad. As the shouts of the Gu poison victims outside became more and more tragic, the disciples of Zhaojiazhuang continued to report the news that Qunhao's condition continued to deteriorate, so that many leaders who had not made up their minds joined Jiang Chao's camp. Nine of the eleven leaders who returned to the latter joined Jiang Chao's faction, and they had seen the tragic situation after the outbreak of the Hao Gu poison with their own eyes, and they were all extremely afraid.
At this time, Jiang Chao spoke in high spirits: "The amount is not a gentleman, and it is not a husband who is not poisonous, this sentence is no longer suitable for use here! We are giving gentlemen courtesy to gentlemen, and using villain tricks for villains!"
Ling Fei grimaced and did not speak.
A head of the sect who was anxious about the pain of his disciples said loudly: "Let's make a decision quickly, everyone! After arguing for so long, there is still no conclusion? According to me, Master Jiang's proposal is really good, how can there be so many good things in the world that can have the best of both worlds! We want him to work happily against the traitorous and evil people. On the one hand, he is trapped in a chivalrous reputation, how can it be so easy!"
"Amitabha. Hiroshi shook his head silently.
"It's not just a matter of reputation. The chapter says, "All the people in this room are highly respected. If today's things are spread out, they will become a common practice in the future, and everyone will relax their standards, so that in the name of great good, they will not be afraid of small evils, and have you ever thought about what the consequences of this will be? If you are doing great good today, you can do small evils, and you can do medium evil in the next day, and then you will be able to do evil in the next day? Not to mention the magnitude of good and evil. What I see is different from what I see to others. The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and the words of the predecessors are worthy of vigilance. ”
"Dao Chief, this is too much to worry about, how can it be so terrible. A later leader's voice was louder than Lu Xiang's fist, and in two sentences, the room was buzzing, "We are not ignorant people, and we naturally don't do this to others." The Holy Hand Little Green Dragon has a bad record, if everyone knows that we are doing harm for the people. I don't know how relieving it is. At the end of last month, this thief also robbed a group of merchants in Linhe Town, Yingtianfu, killed more than a dozen people and ran away. We treat him so politely and righteously, and people don't appreciate it at all. It's still doing evil everywhere, and it's free!"
"Huh, where did you get this news from, is it true or not?"
He only said that he had changed his appearance in disguise, and no one knew him. Coincidentally, there was a disciple of Feng Mingshan who escorted the merchants at that time. I saw him once seven years ago, but secretly recognized him......"
While we are discussing. The crowd heard the sound of footsteps outside, and another man came in.
"Oh, everyone's here, it's so lively. Hu Tan said with a smile as soon as he entered the door, and then Qin Su and Lei Hong also lifted the curtain and walked in. The mad Zen master's senior disciple had a smile on his face, his eyes swirling on Hu Tan's face with interest, while Qin Su had another strange look, and his pretty face looked a little pale under the lamp.
"Looks like I'm here at the right time, what are you talking about?"
No one spoke, and all the heads of the thieves either looked at each other or bowed their heads. Everyone was discussing how to deal with his father, but this little ghost appeared here at this moment, which made everyone feel quite uncomfortable.
"Oh! I'm not overthinking myself again, so many leading people, of course, discussing a great matter, of course I am not qualified to listen. Hu Tan smiled, unimpressed. "Daoist Ling Fei, uncles and seniors, I am here to say goodbye to you, now that I have eaten, and the Divine Talisman has been given to you, my aunt and I have nothing to do here, so we have to leave. ”
"Huh, you're leaving?" everyone looked at each other in amazement. Those who understood all glared at Lei Daring, knowing that it was this fat man who passed the message to the thief. But Lei Daring's face became extremely thick at this time, and he didn't realize the eyes of more than a dozen pairs of knives.
"You can't leave yet!" blurted out one of the bosses in a hurry.
"Why can't you go?" Hu Tan asked in surprise, "Is there anything else to do with this senior?"
How could that person admit it directly, he was dumb for a moment, and finally found a reason: "It's not true, but your injuries haven't recovered yet, why do you have to recuperate in the village for a few days, you left in such a hurry, let outsiders know, but you have to blame Zhaojiazhuang for not treating customers well." ”
Hu Tan smiled: "Oh, this is still a lot of worry for you, thank you very much, but I have nothing to do." Walking a hundred and eighty miles is not in the way. ”
"It's so late at night, it's still snowing, how can there be any reason to leave at this time? You just have to leave, and you have to wait until tomorrow dawn, right?" another head of the house blocked.
Hu Tan said: "Jianghu people take the four seas as their home, live and go, how can there be so many good picks, they have to accept their fate when they catch up, alas, they are born to work hard, there is no way." ”
Jiang Chao grimaced and kept looking at Hu Tan. This little ghost is full of nonsense, and when he fights with these masters, he is like a lightweight, and everyone in this room is afraid that they are not his opponents, so he can't say it, so he has to pick out Ming and stop it.
"You can't go. Jiang Chao said coldly. "The talisman you handed in is useless, and now that it's like this, do you want to leave?"
Everyone saw that Jiang Chao had made his words clear, and several leaders who were still preparing to make up nonsense to stop Hu Tan suddenly stopped.
"Oh, then this master wants to ask the master for sin. Seeing that Jiang Chao was serious, Hu Tan also smiled and spoke seriously. "Whether the filiking talisman has any effect or not, that's not what I said. Now that something has gone wrong, you're going to put all the blame on me?"
Jiang Chao said: "Everything has a beginning and an end, since you have contracted this matter, of course you must follow the matter to the end." Flee halfway. Sort of what's going on. ”
Hu Tan laughed and said, "There is a beginning and an end? I remember when you begged me. It's not that I want to heal you, it's just that I want to hand over charms. Whether the talisman has any effect or not, I don't know beforehand. ”
Jiang Chao was speechless, and he stared at Hu Tan angrily. At this moment, Ling Fei, who had been silent, sighed softly and said to Hu Tan: "Brother Xiaohu, since you insist on leaving, let's go." The Shushan faction and Zhaojiazhuang have encountered too many things today, and they have not been able to entertain the guests well, so they can only invite you Haihan. ”
"Dao Chief!" everyone was shocked. Ling Fei waved his hand. Wen Yan said: "Don't blame everyone for treating you like this, in fact, everyone here is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, but today's special situation has made everyone confused." He looked at Hu Tan and said, "The rivers and lakes are easy to give rise to right and wrong, so when you walk in the future, be more careful." Don't get into trouble you shouldn't be in trouble because you're young and vigorous. ”
Hu Tan didn't expect that the first head of the family had become so upright, and his previous dissatisfaction with him suddenly dropped by half. He thanked Ling Fei: "Thank you for your teachings. I can't help much today, and I'm a little ashamed to talk about it. ”
With Ling Fei and a few people coming forward, Jiang Chao and the others were in a hurry. Nor can it be done in person. I could only watch as the head of Shushan called Song Bitu and asked him to accompany Hu Tan out. Lei Daring then said goodbye to Ling Fei and the others, and then turned to leave.
From the backyard to the front yard. Nearly a hundred zhang away, it was really a Shura road. All I heard along the way was a tragic cry of pain, and Hu Tan was mentally tough. I can't help but change color on my face.
When he was in the backyard, Hu Tan heard that Qunhao had a lot of opinions about him, and he was going to argue loudly when he came out, saying that it was not he who thought that the Divine Talisman could cure Gu, and they blamed the wrong person. But along the way, I saw hundreds of high rollers sitting in the snow and weeping, their clothes and hair covered with snow and had no time to pay attention, and the wounded wailed, relatives and friends mourned, and the rest of the people were full of sorrow.
Although the injuries of the heroes did not come from him, since everyone had high hopes for the Tranquility Rune, the little boy felt that he was not an unrelated person. It's really sad to live up to everyone's expectations.
No one would have imagined that when Hu Tan made up nonsense about his father's story before, Hu Buwei's fictional self-shame would really ripple in the young man's heart at this moment.
The three of them silently walked up to the snow and walked south out of the village. Lei Hong saw that Hu Tan was silent, so he didn't ask where Hu Tan was.
Song Bitu stopped when he arrived at the gate of the village, only smiled and waved his hand, and said goodbye to Hu Tan.
The wind and snow shouted, and the long and short shouts and cries in the village.
It's already at the turn of the day, the snow is falling late at night, the cold is pressing, and it should be the time for everyone to sleep peacefully. But this long street is actually bright and bright, and people can be seen wandering in frightened clothes everywhere. They were all close neighbors who were frightened by Zhaojiazhuang's misfortune.
Misfortune is passable.
For a full quarter of an hour, Hu Tan was silent. Lei Hong was also depressed and couldn't talk about it. The three of them braved the snow and walked forward, and after turning two streets, the sound of wind and snow was so loud that they couldn't hear the terrible cry behind them.
"Brother Hu, where are you going next?" asked Lei Hong.
Hu Tan turned his head and asked Qin Su, "Auntie, where are we going?"
Jade Girl Feng abandoned his brother and did not answer. From the beginning of her trip to the village just now, she looked like she was preoccupied, as if she had never heard of the things around her.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now, let's talk about it when we get out of town. Hu Tan was used to seeing Qin Su like this, so he was no longer surprised, and said simply. "The world is so big, can't you find a place to live!"
The wind was so heavy that the ground was blown into high and low snow mounds, and the three of them seemed to be covered by a dense white veil in front of them, and the scenery was almost invisible two feet away. And everywhere you look, whether it is a house or a wall, a grass or a ditch, it is all covered by a vast color.
There was a soft clatter in front of me, and it seemed that some people were walking briskly through the snow. The three of them were so caught up in the dense snow that they could barely open their eyes, and they had to look forward with their hands.
Not long after, three horses burst into sight with white gas, and the three of them hurriedly avoided the side.
It turned out that it was not a person, it was a horse, Hu Tan thought to himself, it was strange that the road was running so fast.
The snow was too thick, and the horses could not walk as easily as they did on flat ground. During the time when the two groups of people staggered by, it was enough for Hu Tan to see the appearance of the passengers on the horse. Two living people, one dead man, are young men in their twenties. Hu Tan saw the corpse lying on the horse's back, stiff as wood and stone, apparently dead for a long time, and the two riders had a long time to trek with ice ballast on their beards and purple lips.
"Quick, a few blocks away!"
After galloping past Hu Tan and the others, a passenger said so.
"Drive, drive!" The whip sounded, and the two men with frightened expressions suddenly disappeared into the wind and snow. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
