Chapter 35: Seeking Revenge for the Son

Xiao Ting couldn't make a sound, he raised his leg in a hurry, and rolled to the ground with a step, only to find that his right leg had been fractured, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel a trace of pain, thinking about it, it was probably the "credit" of the zombie poison!

Looking at the trees next to the pit, there was a carriage parked, and the cart was bloodstained and seemed to pull over the corpse.

Xiao Ting came to his senses, leaned over and desperately peeled off the loess that had been buried half a foot thick, revealing the straw mat under him.

Xiao Ting trembled and opened the mat one by one, and sure enough, in the sixth straw mat, he found the body of his mother whose throat had been cut.

Xiao Ting hugged the corpse and cried loudly, his voice was choppy and intermittent, like a ghost.

When he had enough of crying, Xiao Ting picked up the shovel that he had thrown on the edge of the pit, and buried his family's body with tears in his limp legs.

Not far away, half a wooden stake was thrown on the ground, and the flattened side was engraved with "The Tomb of the Dead of Xiao Gong's Mother and Son and His Family", and there was not even a name signed underneath.

Xiao Ting knew that the wooden card must have been done by a man, thinking that he would die of poison at any time, and it was not much different from a dead person, so he didn't change the content, picked it up and inserted it directly in front of the grave.

Tearfully worshipping the spirits of his mother and the rest of the house, Xiao Ting untied the reins of the carriage that he had been frightened and couldn't care about driving away, whipped the horse, and headed straight west.

The only thing he is praying for now is to rush to Taiyuan Mansion before he dies of poison and tell Chai Shaoning the news that Lin Zhimei is still in the world.

However, the carriage had just driven onto the road, and Xiao Ting suddenly felt a sharp pain at the door.

"How can this be?" Xiao Ting was shocked. Due to the effect of the zombie poison, he didn't feel any pain even when he was scratched by the ghost claws of the Holy Mountain Venerable last night.

If it is placed in normal times, the stiff body suddenly regains pain, which may mean that there may be a glimmer of life, but now the situation is different, if the zombie poison in the body cannot suppress the pain, he will be powerless because of the pain, in that case, how can he go to Shanxi?

When he was worried, Xiao Ting had already felt severe pain coming from his chest and lower limbs where he was scratched by the ghost claws, and the pain became stronger and stronger, and soon reached a point where he couldn't bear it.

"It must be that the strange poison on the claws of the two ghosts of the Holy Land and the Holy Mountain has been countered by the zombie poison. Xiao Ting tried to understand the reason for the incident, but to no avail, he roared, fell on his back in the carriage, and let the carriage run aimlessly along the avenue.

――――

In the Daimyo's Mansion, the old man of the golden knife, Hong Tai, gradually recovered after a few days of recuperation, but the eldest son Hong Biao died tragically, and the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man made him break his liver and intestines all the time.

The golden knife has been sent back by a group of officials who were good friends with Hong Biao in the past. The old knight originally wanted to seal the golden knife, but since it was stained with his son's blood, how could he use it again? But when he thought that the enemy was still at large, the old knight smashed his steel teeth, and he vowed to use this golden knife to cut the enemy with a thousand knives and avenge his son's hatred.

Thinking together, Hong Tai was supported by this momentum, and the pain all over his body was cured.

The second son, Hong Quan, went to Jiangnan to sell silk cloth and did not come back, so the old chivalrous man stopped by himself and wandered around the city for two consecutive nights, looking for traces of the thief.

That night, Hong Tai put on his night clothes, avoided many patrols, and once again sneaked out of the city, searching all the way through the dark forest, and unknowingly came to a small town.

It was late autumn, winter had appeared, and the cold wind was strong. The old chivalrous man tightened the clothes on his chest, and silently recited the name of his son Hong Biao in his heart: "There is a spirit under the Biao'er Spring, and you should be guided to find the enemy for your father and avenge your hatred!"

In fact, Hong Tai also knew that after such a trouble, Lu Yushan and the others would most likely not stay near the Daimyo's Mansion, and with the skills of evil anglers, even if he found him, I am afraid that it would not be much different from sending him to death. But Hong Tai is the kind of person who is fearless, and his strong hatred supports him, even if there is no hope, he will never give up.

Seeing that the night was halfway over, even the starry sky seemed to become lazy, leaving only a few faint starlight, sparsely and dimly napping outside the edge of the moonlight.

The night seemed to be about to come to naught. The old man sighed in his heart, and was about to return, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of him?

Hong Tai hid in the dark, carefully inspected the situation in front of him, and suddenly found that he had unknowingly come to the town where his friend Qin Xiaoyou lived.

At this time, the shadow spreads to the corner of the silhouette in the center of the street, as if it is alive, slowly changing its shape!

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Biao'er, avenge your father!" The old man prayed silently in his heart, reaching out for the hilt of the golden sword.

Of course, Lou Ying will not change its shape, but will change the posture of the thief hanging on it.

The thief under the eaves never thought that the projection he was exposed to the moonlight had leaked the heavenly opportunity, and the upper body was still unconscious hidden in the dark under the eaves, stretching out his hand to touch left and right in the corner of the eaves, and was just about to turn back into the building after making sure that there was nothing, when suddenly the golden wind suddenly rose next to his ears, and a cold arrow hung with the cold rays of the moonlight, and was nailed to the back of the thief with a "bang".

The thief screamed and let go from the top of the eaves, which was nearly ten feet high, to the pavement of the alley outside the wall below.

With the screams, three or four black shadows appeared in a row in the Qin Mansion building. The men were killed by arrows as soon as they first appeared. The man who fired the arrow was extremely skilled and accurate, and he was immediately frightened by the many other thieves hiding in various parts of the building.

However, the attackers had already prepared, and the rocket was launched, turning Qin Lou into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye. Anyone in the building who could not bear the pain of the fire and ran out of his hiding place died under the arrows.

Hong Tai's eyes lit up, and all that flashed in his mind was the words of the heavenly thief, and such a method was exactly the usual trick of the heavenly thief.

By the light of the raging fire, Hong Tai saw that the Qin Mansion was surrounded by men in black. These people don't know when they have come to the town, all of them are highly skilled, bold and careful, until the screams in the building gradually disappear, and the villagers who heard the news are close in front of them, and then they quickly retreat in the opposite direction of Hongtai's position along the alleys of the town in an orderly manner.

Hong Tae watched the thief leave and walked out of hiding. He wants to track down the thieves' lair and wipe out all the thieves.

However, at this moment, Hong Tai found that the black-clothed man who had been shot down in the alley suddenly moved after the thief left, with a long arrow stuck in his back, and tried to crawl forward along the alley

It turned out that the thief who originally climbed at the corner of the eaves of the Deyi Building was not weak in martial arts, but he did not die, but fell into the alley after being hit by an arrow, but thus avoided the doom of fire. This thief knew that the opponent was powerful, so he only dared to crawl to survive when all the enemies were withdrawn. But he never thought that the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch were behind, and there was actually a Hongtai hidden in secret.

Hong Tai stepped forward and grabbed the man in black on the ground, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

"Spare me!" the man in black pleaded.

"Tell me quickly, what is the purpose of your coming here?" Hong Tai was in a hurry to chase the thief, and he didn't have time to waste time with him, and the big knife was raised, directly pressing the neck of the man in black, and the sharp blade immediately pulled the thief's skin apart, and blood flowed down the neck into the collar.

The man in black showed a frightened look in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "The lord of Yuwen Mansion unfortunately died in the Daimyo's Mansion, our group of people has no leader, I heard that Qin Xiaoyou's medical skills are outstanding, and for so many years, the family has saved a lot of property-"

When Hong Tai heard this, his heart was already clear, he understood the origin of these people, no longer listened to his verbosity, threw the man in black to the ground, and stepped to chase back the heavenly thieves.

Qin Xiaoyou has practiced medicine for many years and has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth. Now Fengyuemen's sworn enemy: although the Holy Sword Villa was copied, Yang Liyuan died, the government was extremely taboo against the gangs in the rivers and lakes, and the reopening of the seventh floor of Fengyue was hindered, and the thieves under Yuwen Yijian had no hope of making a living, so they actually started the idea of Qin Xiaoyou's inheritance, and quietly came to pick up the cheap, but they were unexpectedly noticed by the thieves and suddenly retaliated.

Hong Tai didn't want to waste his energy on these fools who gave up his life for money, so he turned around to chase the thieves, but he only ran a few steps, and there was a scream behind him, and things changed again. A serpentine dart, unlike the usual dart, was nailed into the forehead of the man in black.

Late at night, where does the snake dart come from?

Hong Tai stopped to take a closer look, only to find that the man in black was crawling in the direction of pointing straight to a courtyard gate not far ahead.

Hong Tai swung his steel knife to protect his body and jumped onto the courtyard wall of the small courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, there is only one set of inner and outer rooms in the courtyard, and the door of the outer room is open, and the darkness is terrifying.

Hong Tai snorted coldly, and was just about to pounce, when a large number of footsteps sounded in the alley, and someone shouted: "Old man Hong, why are you here?"

Hongtai looked down and saw that many villagers had already poured into the alley with torches. In this group of people, there were six or seven officials of the Daimyo Mansion. The lead officer was not tall, lean and thin, with a wisp of a goatee on his swarthy face.

Hong Tai recognized it as Wu Kuai, a good friend of his son before his death and an errand boy in the Daimyo Mansion.

Listening carefully to the sound of no breathing in the small courtyard house, Hong Tai judged that the thief had fled, so he jumped off the wall and said: "Biao'er must not die in vain, how can Wu Zhutou be here?"

Wu Kuai showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and finally explained: "Old Man Hong, I can't hide it from others. This Qin Xiaoyou's identity is a bit special, and his family was killed, not just because they were involved in Xiao Ting's case. Lord Xu ordered the soldiers and horses to bring people to squat here, and it depends on how the situation develops after that? ”

"After more than ten years of acquaintance, I didn't know that my old friend had such a mysterious background. Hong Tai couldn't help but look at the snake-shaped dart lying on the forehead of the black-clothed man lying in the middle of the street, shook his head and said: "Let the jade-faced snake lady who is famous in the rivers and lakes come here to guard in person, filial piety, what kind of mission are you carrying?"

Wu was about to speak and stopped, Hong Tai waved his hand and said: "I have no intention of exploring other people's secrets, but I owe the Qin family three lives, this is an unchangeable fact." And Biao'er's revenge, I must take revenge. ”
