Seeing Xue Yuran wake up, Zhao Xue said happily: "You're awake. How are you? It's nothing serious."
Xue Yuran's face was pale and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. Even though he was ill, he was still as calm as Guanyin without any waves.
He closed his eyes and replied calmly: "It's nothing, I just feel sore all over my body, I have no strength, and I can't move. I seem to have caught a cold, how could this happen?"
Zhao Xue smiled and said: "It's all because of Luofan's bad idea. I had to give you cold water and had to change the water several times. It's good that you didn't freeze to death."
Xue Yuran understood in her heart and said: "Oh! It's appropriate to deal with it this way. The poison is too powerful and must be removed with cold water, otherwise I will get the root of the disease. Luo Fan is thinking about me. Second sister, why don't you see the Ji family? "
Zhao Xue whispered: "Shh! Don't mention it! I don't know if you are lucky or if your life is too bad. You can't get married. Ji Changkong, the boy of the Ji family, massacred more than 700 lives in Prison Wolf Village and committed many crimes. , has become a public enemy in the martial arts world. The Ji family has become a mess. While dealing with the investigation by the Wucheng Divine Guards, they also have to give gifts to people in the world who come to attend the wedding. "
Xue Yuran sighed: "That's it. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. It's true that everything in the world is destined by God, and everything is determined by the heart."
Zhao Xue: "Hey, don't think about it. Just rest peacefully. There is no need to worry about it in the future. Luofan said that Hong Menglang was poisoned by him and became an eunuch in the future. He will never cause trouble to you again. Brother, they will go back to Flag City to handle official business first, leaving me to look after you!"
"Luofan! What a smart man."
Xue Yuran whispered and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Xuewu sighed to himself: "He is smart! But he is too cruel and weird. But he may be the noble person in your life, he can always save you in time. Speaking of which, if he does not have such a character, I am afraid he is the only one in the world. A man who can match you in intelligence. Sometimes, being smart is a kind of hardship."
On the other side, in the river last night, Hong Menglang's dream was shattered. He was hit by five or six poisonous darts from Luofan on his lower back and fled into the water. Taking advantage of the good water quality, I managed to swim to the riverside despite the pain of serious injuries and poisonous hair.
The water in the river was freezing cold, and Hong Menglang was poisoned and had no energy to keep out the cold. In addition to his thin body, he was shivering in the night wind and his lips were pale. Swim to the shore, hold on to the sand with both hands, and try to get up. But there was a sharp pain in his back. The pain made him scream repeatedly and he fell around in the water, like a giant turtle that couldn't turn over!
After struggling more than a dozen times, I still couldn't stand up. Only then did Hong Menglang realize that Luofan's poison had probably penetrated into his spinal cord. I could only endure the pain, gritted my teeth, and crawled to the shore like a bug, cursing constantly: "Damn it! This Luofan actually poisoned Xue Yuran. This method is too damn poisonous! Wait! I’m healed, but I swear I won’t be a human unless I kill your whole family!”
At this time, people shouting and shouting came from both sides of the river, and many torches were seen chasing them from a distance. He knew in his heart that these people were definitely coming to hunt him down. Hong Menglang thought that his coat was wet and heavy, and he was afraid of leaving water marks on the ground when wearing it. So he took off his coat, wrapped himself in stones, threw them into the river, and then quickly climbed towards the woods on the shore.
Afraid of the pursuers, Hong Menglang crawled forward desperately on the grass and gravel, regardless of his injuries. In this way, we climbed for an hour. Only when he saw the hidden vegetation a few miles away from the riverside did he dare to stop and take a breath.
Lying in the bushes, my limbs were cold and numb, and my back was in sharp pain. Hong Menglang raised his hands, but saw that there were more than a dozen blood blisters on his palms! I think that I am famous in the world of Hong Meng Lang, and I always come and go with ease. No matter it is a prince's mansion or a wealthy mansion, I always come and go with ease. Now, it is so miserable. Even my beautiful skin, which was maintained like jade, was ruined to pieces and was unsightly! It can only be like a bereaved dog, hiding in the dark, moldy trees and waiting to die! For a moment, I felt sad and shed tears, feeling sorry for myself and feeling sad.
Hiding in the woods, Hong Menglang was half-conscious from exhaustion and did not dare to let down his guard all night.
The sky was dawning, and the forest was foggy and gray. An old farmer was walking on the path in the distance. The old farmer, wearing linen clothes full of holes, walked over in high spirits, with his back hunched and carrying a hoe.
Hearing the footsteps coming from afar, Hong Menglang woke up from his sleep and lay down in the grass to look around carefully. Seeing that he was an honest farmer, he struggled and rushed out. He cried and begged: "Uncle! Help! Help! Uncle, please save my life."
When the old farmer saw someone calling for help, he trotted over with a hoe on his shoulder.
When he came closer, he saw a young man wearing a white brocade shirt, lying on the ground with his back covered in blood. The old farmer put down his hoe, squatted down to check, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Oh, how come you are so injured, young master? Did you meet a bad guy?"
Hong Menglang pretended to be kind and cried: "Uncle, my family is in your city. I came to Jianguan with my servants to do business on my father's order. Unfortunately, I met several bandits by the river last night. They killed them. My servants robbed me of my goods and clothes. I jumped into the river desperately to escape. Uncle, please save me from here, I will be rewarded heavily."
The old farmer sighed: "Hey! In this world! I can't even live a single day. Don't worry, if you meet me, I will definitely save you. Come, I will carry you back to my house first, and then I will find a doctor to treat your injuries!"
The old farmer did not doubt Hong Menglang's identity, so he enthusiastically carried him on his back, holding a hoe, and hurried back.
It was still dark, and there was no one around. Hong Menglang was relieved. The old farmer carried Hong Menglang on his back and walked two miles in one breath, arriving at a very dilapidated village filled with low earthen houses.
And this old man's home is actually just two low earth houses, not much bigger than the Earth Temple. Half of the earthen wall outside the house also collapsed. In Hong Menglang's opinion, even his doghouse is a thousand times better than this place where people live.
The old man put Hong Menglang on the bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Sir, you look like a kid from a rich family. You have a lot of skin and flesh on your body. It's not difficult for me to carry you on my back. I'll do it now." Go to the city to contact the police and find a doctor to treat you. You can rest assured and rest."
Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Hong Menglang hurriedly lay down beside the bed and shouted: "Uncle, don't leave yet. I still have something to say to you."
The old man stopped: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Hong Menglang looked around and saw that there were really only four walls in this room. Except for some pots and broken baskets, there was nothing worth a penny. He asked out of curiosity: "Uncle, are you the only one in your family? Where are your wife and children?"
The old man smiled: "Sir, we are fighting and killing all day long these days. We are no bigger businessmen than you. We live by farming and collecting coarse grains. Most of the grains are robbed by the Jianghu people to use as some kind of protection money. Like Farmers like us who have no money and don’t dare to kill, it’s good if we don’t starve to death. There is no rice to feed our family.”
Hong Menglang took out some banknotes from his arms, held them up and said, "Uncle, come here. I have some money hidden here! Let me thank you for saving my life."
When the old man saw the banknote, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey! No money! No money! My old man saves people without asking for money! Although we are poor, we also know the principle of helping others without expecting anything in return. I I'll report you to the official. Just lie down and rest until I come back."
Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Hongmenglang hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Uncle! Wait. I am seriously ill, so I have to hire a doctor. I also need to buy some tonics. Only with money can you hire a doctor."
The old man stopped, touched his head, and said with a silly smile: "That's right. If you don't have money, you can't hire a doctor. That's okay. The old man will take your money and hire a doctor for you. I'll pay you back every penny of the remaining money." for you."
The old man walked to Hong Menglang and reached out to receive the banknote. At this moment, Hong Menglang had a poisonous look in his eyes, grabbed the old man's hand and pulled him closer! There was a flash of silver light, and a bright dagger plunged straight into the old man's neck!
Immediately, blood spattered several feet. The old man fell to the ground, one hand tightly covering the bleeding wound, the other hand tremblingly pointing at Hong Menglang, his mouth wide open but no sound came out! His eyes were fixed on Hong Menglang, full of confusion! It swam on the ground for a moment, and then stopped struggling after the blood drained away.
Hong Menglang killed the old man with one move and lay on the bedside, breathing heavily! Looking at the dead old man, he sneered and said: "I'm sorry. Either you die or I die. However, seeing that you are not doing well, death is a good thing. When I recover from my injury, I will give it to you. If you spend more paper money, you can become a rich man in the underworld!"
After killing the old farmer, Hong Menglang wrapped his body in linen and pushed it under the bed. He climbed outside the door again, locked the door from the outside, and climbed into the house through the window. In this way, neighbors and police officers will think that the owner of the house is not at home and will not go in to check. After handling everything carefully, Hong Menglang recovered from his injuries at the farmer's house with peace of mind.
