Zhou Li's eyes widened in horror. Just as he was about to struggle, a sharp pain came from his neck. The next moment, his eyes were completely dark.
"ah!"
Seeing Zhou Li fall softly to the ground, Zhou Shi screamed in fright. Just as he shouted, he found that his mouth had been blocked by a hand, and no sound could be made.
"You must be the one spying on me during the day!"
Sun Shu looked down at Zhou Shi, covered Zhou Shi's mouth with one hand, pinched Zhou Shi's neck with the other, and held him in front of him.
Zhou Shi's eyes instantly filled with tears. He kicked hard with his feet, but he couldn't break away at all. He could only watch Sun Shu's cheek getting closer and closer to him.
"No matter what decision you make, you have to pay a price, do you understand? Jie Jie Jie!"
Sun Shu suddenly laughed inexplicably, and the hand holding Zhou Shi's neck began to shrink. Zhou Shi's eyes stared out involuntarily. The next moment, blood mist filled the entire dilapidated courtyard.
"The price...the Zhang family..."
Sun Shu muttered to himself, let go of his hands, and Zhou Shi's body fell to the ground.
Outside the courtyard wall, a small figure was witnessing everything that happened in front of him through a hole in the wall.
Zhao Qi covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from screaming.
Every day, Zhao Qi looks through this hole and looks at the next door. Sometimes there is no one in the courtyard, and Zhao Qi can still watch with interest.
But today, Zhao Qi regretted it, he saw the murder.
Zhao Qi's teeth kept chattering, but he didn't dare to make any sound. He knew that as long as he made a sound, the murderer would come and kill him.
Zhao Qi stared at Sun Shu and watched Sun Shu leave the courtyard.
Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the hand that was desperately covering his mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the hole again. An eyeball was looking at Zhao Qi.
"ah!"
Zhao Qi screamed and backed away desperately.
"It turns out that there is a little mouse hiding here..."
…
Beicheng Medical Clinic.
In the alchemy room, Chen Fei's techniques kept changing, and a medicinal fragrance filled the air from the alchemy furnace.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the entire alchemy furnace shook, and the aroma of the medicine instantly turned into a burnt smell.
Chen Fei frowned slightly, opened the stove cover, looked at the blackened medicine residue inside, and shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know which medicinal ingredient is missing, but it's been stuck here."
Chen Fei scratched his hair, cleaned the alchemy furnace, and recalled the details of the alchemy process just now. Suddenly, there was some noise outside.
Chen Fei stood up and walked out when he saw a handyman talking excitedly.
"Manager Chen."
Liu Jun was also on the side. When he saw Chen Fei, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"What's going on here?"
"Something happened to this handyman's family. It seems that a family member was killed. Now he is begging us, hoping that the hospital can advance some wages to him."
Chen Fei glanced at the handyman. Cai Qing's face and obvious malnutrition suggested that he must have been found among the refugees.
"Give this money to him and it will be my own."
Chen Fei took out a few taels of silver, then turned and left. This is probably the only thing Chen Fei can do about this kind of thing. As for giving more, I'm afraid the handyman won't be able to keep the money.
Chen Fei walked a few steps, and heard the grateful voice of the handyman from behind. Chen Fei waved his hand and returned to the alchemy room.
Putting aside what had just happened, Chen Fei continued to study the Qingling Pill.
An hour later, Chen Fei rubbed his head with a headache, but it had little effect. But this is normal. After all, it is extremely difficult to deduce the medicinal materials from the finished elixir.
However, Chen Fei is somewhat enjoying it, and the overall progress is now good. If he continues to work hard, Chen Fei is confident that he can restore the formula of Qingling Pill.
Chen Fei picked up the long sword beside him and began to use it in the alchemy room.
Chen Fei's life is like this now. Apart from cultivating his inner strength every day, he spends the rest of his time either on swordsmanship or alchemy.
This kind of squeezing method with almost no rest time not only did not make Chen Fei fall down, but instead kept him in high spirits every day.
Time passed little by little, and another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Within ten days, Pingyin County was not peaceful, and outside Pingyin County, there was already a storm.
The imperial army that suppressed the rebels was defeated. At this moment, the defense line is shrinking and retreating step by step.
The momentum of the rebels naturally increased, and they pressed on the imperial army step by step, gradually encroaching on them. Not only that, rebels also appeared in several counties and towns. With the help of internal and external cooperation, the scale of the rebels became larger and larger.
In Pingyin County, another member of the direct lineage of the Zhang family died. But the Zhang family's control over Sun Shu's whereabouts became more and more precise. Once, they even surrendered, but later Sun Shu escaped.
Chen Fei himself has integrated his sword skills into the fourth set.
[Skill: Fire Pattern Sword (Perfection 7124/10000)]
Compared with the original Green Mountain Sword, the power of the current Fire Pattern Sword has increased by at least 70%.
Just like Jian Liang back then, Chen Fei could compete with him with his current swordsmanship. If the Fire Pattern Sword is elevated to the realm of Dzogchen, although it cannot kill, it is enough to defeat Jian Liang.
With a set of swordsmanship, you can fight across levels. From this, you can see how excellent this set of swordsmanship is. Compared with the inheritance of the aristocratic families in Pingyin County, Chen Fei's sword skills are no less impressive.
In the lobby of the hospital.
Chen Fei was chatting with a doctor, discussing the medicinal properties of some medicinal materials. The Qingling Pill has been stuck in one place for a long time. Talking to the doctor about its properties can sometimes give Chen Fei some more ideas.
While chatting happily, Zhang Yuezhen appeared in the medical clinic.
"All nursing staff, follow me. Chen Fei, you follow too!"
Zhang Yuezhen shouted, saw Chen Fei in the lobby, thought for a moment, and called Chen Fei up. He is more or less at the level of skin training. Compared with those doctors who are powerless, Chen Fei can be regarded as a helper.
Chen Fei's expression moved slightly, he thought for a moment, and followed.
Within a moment, all the nurses in the hospital were present. Zhang Yuezhen waved her right hand and rushed forward without any explanation.
The others didn't know why, but they followed behind.
Chen Fei ran in the middle and back of the crowd. In a short time, everyone left Pingyin County and came to a mountain forest. A figure was standing there, walking around anxiously. When he saw Zhang Yuezhen, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Sun Shu is still over there?" Zhang Yuezhen asked nervously.
"He's still there, and he's indeed injured, but we have to deal with it quickly, otherwise others will come soon if they get the news." Zhang Qiang shook the money bag handed over by Zhang Yuezhen and said with a smile.
"It's just Sun Shu, I will remember this favor!"
"I'll go back and wait for your good news!" Zhang Qiang said with cupped hands.
Zhang Yuezhen laughed loudly and rushed forward past Zhang Qiang. The guards at the rear suddenly realized that they had found Sun Shu. Now Zhang Yuezhen wants to take the lead and get rid of the recent worries of the Zhang family.
