As soon as I finished speaking, He Zhi burst into laughter.
She bit her lower lip slightly and nodded vigorously!
This smile made me a little distracted again, and I immediately closed my eyes to cover up my gaffe.
After a while, He Zhi left my arms, carefully checked my injury, and applied some herbs on the wound.
Then, she told me seriously about Jiang Pan's injury.
Although Jiang Pan's life is safe at the moment, his injuries are too serious and it's hard to say when he will wake up.
We definitely can't stay in the wilderness for too long. We must either return to Honghe Town or find a town to avoid emergencies.
As for the horse guarantee money, He Fei said that he was very lucky and his right leg must have been crippled, but he would not survive.
After a pause, He Zhi asked me again how to deal with the horse guarantee money?
After all, the corpse exorcist had already made enemies with us yesterday. If we help his brother, will we create trouble?
He Zhi's words also made me feel hesitant.
After all, I have never been in contact with Ma Baojin, and Ma Baojin has never been sober. I should not take my anger out on him.
"Well, let's leave first and take him with us. When he wakes up, we can put him down and explain to him clearly that he was abandoned by his brothers and was rescued by us."
I definitely can't kill people for no reason, but if I don't make it clear to Ma Baojin, Ma Baojin might also hate us in the future and make enemies out of nowhere.
He Zhi nodded, and Huang Qi next to him patted his thigh and said, "Mr. Li is brilliant!"
Afterwards, we all got on the carriage, with Huang Qi driving the carriage, and slowly left Guanshan Town.
Before leaving, I subconsciously looked back at the town road.
Two low mountains blocked my view. I couldn't see Guanshan Town further behind, let alone the Dujiegui Mountain Range. I didn't know what it had become.
But there is still a faint feeling of depression in my heart.
When brothers Ma Kuan and Ma Baojin came up, I always felt that Ma Han was following...
The gossip tiger's head mirror melted... I'm afraid he was not killed...
If it's like what I guessed, I'm afraid Guanshan Town will be in trouble.
However, now I am powerless and don’t even dare to go back and look.
Now that we are far away, the feeling of depression in my heart has finally eased a bit.
I observed Jiang Pan's face, and the red and black colors on his mountain roots had disappeared.
Despite being burned at the stake and robbed, Jiang Pan still did not escape, and was even injured before going down the mountain.
But now it looks like my life is safe, so I feel relieved.
He Zhi's mountain forest also returned to normal. She was not near mountains or water, so she completely avoided damage.
Because we were afraid that bumps would aggravate Jiang Pan's injuries, Huang Qixuan's path was very smooth, and we were traveling too slowly.
Huang Qi said that at this rate, it would take us four to five days to return to Honghe Town.
Around the evening of the first day, Ma Baojin woke up first.
He looked particularly painful and asked us where Ma Kuan was?
We were not near a town yet, and I couldn't put Ma Baojin down, so I simply told him about Ma Kuan leaving him behind.
After listening to this, Ma Baojin's face turned pale.
I also calmly told the truth about our conflict with Ma Kuan.
I told Ma Baojin that neither Jiang Pan nor I were evil people, otherwise we would not have saved them in this situation.
Let’s explain the whole story to him first. If he wants to be our enemy in the future, we won’t be able to stop him, but justice is in the heart.
Ma Baojin was stunned and said nothing.
He kept staring at his broken leg, his body shaking slightly.
I didn't say anything else.
Later, when the carriage stopped to rest, Ma Baojin asked us if we could help him split a cane.
I took He Pheasant's guillotine knife, cut down a tree on the side of the road, and made a simple wooden crutch for Ma Baojin.
Ma Baojin was holding the wooden cane with a very ironic and desolate expression.
He whispered that he would not be our enemy in the future. In fact, he had always known his brother's intentions, and he had expected such a thing to happen.
However, he couldn't persuade Ma Kuan anymore, and he didn't even dare to go to Ma Kuan again.
After a pause, Ma Baojin said that he was afraid of being killed by Ma Kuan.
Ma Baojin's desolate and dejected appearance actually made me feel a little bit more compassionate.
Huang Qi was on one side, with a look of sympathy on his face.
He sighed and said that in this world, whether he is a nephew or a brother, it is always more realistic. In the face of interests, where is the family affection?
I knew that Huang Qi was thinking of Xu Baipi.
While I was making a bonfire and heating dry food, I asked Ma Baojin what his plan was.
Ma Baojin told me that now his leg is disabled and he has to avoid Ma Kuan. He can only find a place to hide his name and pick up his wife and son.
He does have a cousin in Kaiyang Province, which is far away from southwest Guizhou. There are more mountains and forests there and there are many yizhuang. He can go to join his cousin.
From now on, I will no longer be able to do this job as a corpse hunter, but I can still work as a corpse guard in the yizhuang and make a living.
I do admire Ma Baojin's open-minded temperament. His endurance is not small. He has suffered from the pain of a broken leg and has not said a word until now.
Ma Baojin asked us to find a town and let him go.
I didn't refuse and asked He Zhi to give him some medicine.
At this time, thinking back to what Ma Baojin said about Kaiyang, I remembered that Grandma He told me that Luo Yinpo's son was in the provincial capital of Kaiyang.
And there is a great Yin-Yang man in that place who is not inferior to my master, Jiang Yihong!
Kaiyang, I will go there sooner or later.
When it got dark, we were not in a hurry to continue on our way, but rested in the wild for the night.
Early the next morning, Huang Qi drove the carriage to the nearest town.
Ma Baojin held the wooden crutch and left alone.
He Zhi went to the pharmacy to get medicine, Huang Qi also replenished a lot of dry food and water, and then we continued on the road.
At noon the next day, Jiang Pan finally woke up.
I briefly told Jiang Pan what happened.
He sighed and said that he would have to come back to Guanshan Town to take a look after his injury recovered.
I nodded and saw that Jiang Pan seemed to be fine, so I handed the copper ruler to Jiang Pan.
Jiang Pan reluctantly sat up, holding the copper ruler in trance for a moment, with a look of regret in his eyes.
He whispered: "I never expected that taking this ruler would actually allow you to use the Bagua Tiger Head Mirror. Among Mr. Yin Yang's artifacts, there are not many Bagua Mirrors, so the treasure was destroyed."
"If I remember correctly...Did the compass fall apart?!"
As he spoke, Jiang Pan's eyes showed even more heartache and strong self-blame and annoyance.
"If my father knew about this, I'm afraid he would never sleep in peace. I was reckless and not fully prepared. I shouldn't have let you take risks together!"
Jiang Pan suddenly raised his hand, about to slap himself.
