"Senior...what do you mean by that?" It took a long time for Ruan Xianbei to find her voice. Even she herself didn't realize that her voice was trembling when she spoke.
Old man Tiankui scratched his head irritably and said vaguely: "Oh, I've already told you that I don't know, I can't pry into the way of heaven anymore."
"The way of heaven?" Ruan Xianbei wanted to ask again, but old man Tiankui had already stood up and left, cursing.
Old man Tiankui seemed to have some mental problems. He didn't know how long he had been living here. I don't know whether the words coming out of his mouth are true or false, but his martial arts are very powerful, and judging from his cultivation level, there is no need to tell lies again.
To sum up, she may really only have three days left to live.
No one is not afraid of death. It is precisely because of his fear of death that Ruan Xianbei devoted himself to avenging himself and his brother and changing this ending.
But now she was suddenly told that she only had a few years to live. Even if she was not killed, she would not be able to escape the fate of death from poison. Could it be that no matter how hard she tried, she would only end up with a be? What can she do to break the situation? What does old man Tiankui mean by spying on the way of heaven? Does he know something?
If the world she is currently in is treated as a game and divided into main lines and branch lines, then the cliff falling incident may have triggered a certain branch line, and Old Man Tiankui is a special n. Logically speaking, Special N must be very important in the game. Every choice may be related to the final outcome. Since there is a bad ending, there will be a good ending. On the bright side, at least the choice is still in her hands. inside.
I don't know when old man Tiankui will come back next time. After he left, Ruan Xianbei's brain was filled with messy thoughts. There were dense clues and paths in his mind, which kept getting messy.
She eventually fell asleep due to overuse of her brain. When she woke up again, she had a low fever, and her head was hurting badly.
Ruan Xianbei: I am really speechless...
The punishment for being a scumbag? Will you get a fever if you don't use your brain for too long?
Shen Xuan covered her forehead with a water-soaked handkerchief. Her voice became hoarse again and she was very thirsty.
Before she opened her mouth, Shen Xuan brought water and carefully fed her to drink.
After drinking water, at least his throat felt better. Ruan Xianbei said to Shen Xuan, "Thank you."
Shen Xuan looked calm: "No, you have been talking nonsense, why should I die, don't want to die, who should I kill, and so on?"
Ruan Xianbei was silent, squeezed out two tears pitifully, thought for a while and said to Shen Xuan: "The old man said that I am seriously poisoned and will die soon."
Shen Xuan frowned upon hearing this: "Why?"
Ruan Xianbei told him what had just happened, and did not forget to describe how pitiful he was.
Shen Xuan's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. After listening to Old Man Tiankui's words, coupled with his advanced cultivation and his enthusiastic attitude towards Ruan Xianbei's blood-taking, the possibility of deceiving others was greatly reduced.
Shen Xuan asked: "Do you know how you were poisoned?"
"I don't know if I lost my memory of my childhood. Could it be that time..."
"When you were a child? When was it exactly?"
"All my memories from before about twelve years ago are gone. I try to recall but I get a headache when I think about it."
Twelve years ago... The only major event that happened twelve years ago was the massive invasion of the Demon Cult. Was she also involved in this battle back then?
"But I vaguely remember that there was a very big and bright moon." Ruan Xianbei talked for a long time before finally telling his dream. Everyone is adding firewood to the flames!
"In a valley, flames were blazing, there were shouts of killing everywhere, there were corpses and a lot of blood. There was a man carrying me on his back, leading me and my elder brother to escape. I couldn't see the man's face clearly. When he was about to turn around...he was dead." Ruan Xianbei was a little annoyed, "I really can't remember it. If I can dream about him again, I will definitely ask him a few questions."
Shen Xuan hummed,
Somehow I found her trying to remember something cute.
"have a rest."
"Rest again? I feel like I've been in a coma."
Shen Xuan chuckled lightly, leaned against the wall and sat next to her and said, "Get better soon so we can go out together. There must be a lot of trouble outside."
Also, Ruan Xianbei closed her eyes. Although the true energy in her body was functioning normally, it was still weak. Alas, she could not lie here as a mummy in her limited life.
Shen Xuan closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was asleep or not, but Ruan Xianbei fell asleep again after a while.
In the past few days, Shen Xuan looked everywhere underground. The gap where they fell had disappeared. There was no trace of it being filled. This position could not be man-made, but even the gap more than half a meter wide was actually there. It's like it never happened.
This place is like an independent space. It is very large inside. The caves are connected to each other. There is water and food, but there is no way to contact the outside world. He doesn't even know where the food and herbs for the old man Tiankui come from without light. Come.
The only thing that is certain is that old man Tiankui seems to be unable to go out for some reason. When old man Tiankui is doing his own thing, he always talks about sending them away quickly. He rarely mentions the situation outside. He asked senior why are you here? Here, old man Tiankui also pretended to be crazy and did not answer.
Shen Xuan thought, then they could only rely on old man Tiankui to get out. He didn't know why Ruan Xianbei suddenly had a fever. When old man Tiankui asked him to come, his eyes seemed to be evasive, and he seemed to be hiding something.
Ruan Xianbei suddenly let out a cry, as if he had dreamed of something.
I fell asleep so quickly.
She opened her eyes and saw the moon and the valley that she had not seen for a long time. She turned her head and someone fell down one step away from her. The man's eyes were wide open as if he could not believe that he would die like this.
The person who killed the man was wearing the same clothes as him. Before that, they seemed to be friends, or at least from the same school.
With the sound of explosions, fires shot into the sky and smoke filled the air. The flames burned half of the sky red, turning the night into daytime.
'where is she?
Finally she saw herself in the firelight, lying on the man's back. This time she heard her childish voice asking: "Uncle, will we die?"
"No." The man replied in a deep voice, and turned around to give Ruan Yan a hand as he almost fell.
"Uncle, thank you. We haven't seen the moon outside for a long time." She said softly, looking lonely.
"You can watch it every day from now on." The man answered her with a smile.
"Uncle, my name is Ruan Xianbei, what's your name?" she asked innocently.
The man smiled and did not answer her. The next second the scene was spinning and the scene changed. Ruan Xianbei didn't know what happened and only saw the man lying in a pool of blood.
"You all have to survive..."
She was held in the arms of others and cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. She cried heartbreakingly and asked him: "Don't die! Don't leave me! I don't know your name yet!"
"Don't be afraid..." The man vomited blood and smiled hard at her, "My name is Shen... Zhuo..." t.
Shen Zhuo what?
"Shen——" She woke up from her dream and tried to sit up, but she couldn't move. The feeling of confinement and powerlessness in her body brought her back to reality.
"What?" Shen Xuan also opened her eyes and looked at her.
"I just dreamed! I dreamed!" Ruan Xianbei suddenly became a little excited, and for some reason big tears fell down the corners of his eyes.
She sobbed quietly, waiting for her sudden emotional breakdown to subside.
"The uncle who saved me is called Shen Zhuo... I can't hear the last word clearly."
Shen Xuan was suddenly startled. He read out the name: "Shen Zhuoran."
"Shen Zhuoran? Shen Zhuoran...yes, this is it!" Ruan Xianbei looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?
? "
"He...is my father."
"My parents both died in the battle twelve years ago."
"Is this really the case..."
Was the uncle who saved her the father of Shen Xuan? Did Shen Xuan's father die because he saved her? Ruan Xianbei lay crying as if he wanted no money, and everything was silent for a while.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"No need to be sorry, what does it have to do with you? My father, did he say anything else?" Shen Xuan shook her head. They were both too young. How could she be blamed for the death of her parents? It was still her fault. Those people from the demonic sect.
"Uncle Shen said that you all should live well."
You must live well. You only have one life. No matter what happens, don't give up your life casually.
Just do whatever you want, bloom bright flowers, as long as you are happy.
"Oh! Why are you crying like this!"
The two of them were immersed in sadness when old man Tiankui walked in with a bowl of medicine.
"Young girl drank this, why did you get a fever? Fever can be fatal! Isn't it because I, Tiankui, want your blood that you got a fever? That's good, that's good... drink this quickly, and you'll be fine after drinking it. Okay, that Taoist priest, come and feed her."
Old man Tiankui handed the bowl of sticky poison-like medicine to Shen Xuan. He would never do this in his life!
Seeing Shen Xuan looking at the medicine in the bowl, he blew his beard and glared: "What are you looking at? This is my hard work! If I didn't feel a little guilty, I wouldn't take this out!"
After talking to Shen Xuan, he said to Ruan Xianbei: "Don't be afraid, baby girl. I believe I can definitely develop an antidote to save you before you die! You can't die before that. Drink quickly. It's important to save your life." .”
Under the enthusiastic gaze of old man Tiankui, Ruan Xianbei finally took the first sip of medicine.
After taking this sip, she almost spit it out. The taste was weird and the tip of her tongue was numb. This bowl of something was really too bitter! ! !
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
