It was the seventeenth day of the first lunar month when Ruan Xianbei left the Yayoi sect, and it is now March.
And their journey back was not so smooth. People kept following or attacking them along the way. It was easy to deal with her alone, but she still had to take care of Xi'er and her daughter. Although Lan Zhao had broken through to the Earthly Mysterious Realm, there were too few of them to have much effect.
At this moment, Xi'er suddenly showed some strange behavior, and then she was not allowed to summon Ruan Yan for help, otherwise she would never be able to go back.
Ruan Xianbei swept out with his sword and knocked down several more people. His tail that lingered like a fly was annoying to death!
Ruan Yan rushed out and sent a team of people out. Miyou and Ge Biao came to meet Ruan Xianbei.
The killer knife, the poisonous scorpion woman, the double-faced ghost... plus a few ordinary subordinates in the Qi refining realm.
Because Ge Nian particularly liked Ruan Xianbei, Ge Biao was somewhat convinced of the saint. His murderous knife had not killed anyone for a long time. After knowing the situation, he boldly said to Ruan Xianbei: "Haha! The saint goes first. , feel free to leave this to us! Let my sword fight these little ones for a while! Little bastards, here I come, Uncle Ge!"
These people didn't kill Ruan Xianbei. Ruan Xianbei didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't kill them, so they were a little restrained in the fight. Those people thought she was easy to deal with, but Ge Biao and the others were different.
The killing knife will definitely draw blood, and the moves are powerful and powerful!
The poisonous scorpion woman can use poisonous gas with every wave of her hand, while the two-faced ghost can assassinate two people together, thus turning the situation around immediately.
"Thank you, seniors!" Ruan Xianbei thanked her without saying anything. As long as they stopped her, she would wait for a while before talking.
She dropped back into the carriage, took the reins and told the horse to run faster.
Xi'er has become manic recently, losing self-awareness for longer and longer, and not eating much. Xi'er's mother can only hold her and cry. Xi'er is afraid of hurting her mother and gradually calms down. But after a while, she would start to become manic again. Lan Zhao gave her a sedative medicine, and Ruan Xianbei's Xiaoqing detoxified her, but the effect was not as good as Sang Zhu, so he could only tie her up temporarily and put a handkerchief in her mouth. , afraid that she would hurt herself when she lost consciousness.
The fight made those who followed her miserable. These were all stragglers in the world. They were on a probing mission, not a life-or-death mission. Some of them retreated when they saw something bad going on.
And when some people saw these once-famous masters taking advantage of them, they accidentally committed their lives here.
There were also people who hid in the dark and did not take action, waiting for an opportunity, but they were really unlucky. A few people did not leave immediately as expected but carefully cleaned up the surroundings again, and these people had to escape.
"It's really troublesome." The scorpion girl said lazily, "Why are there so many things going on lately?"
Ge Biao sneered and said with some disdain: "I'm afraid someone will blame us again. It's sanctimonious."
The two-faced ghost chuckled, and the two of them spoke at the same time: "We have been blamed for a lot of things over the years. I really want to tear off their faces to see what they look like underneath. What will they do without us?" Maintain superficial friendship?"
"Okay, okay, let's go back." Miyou quickly interrupted them. He couldn't stand the way the two men talked at the same time, and he always felt uncomfortable in his ears.
While they were cleaning up the surrounding area, others were cleaning up the corpses, moving very neatly.
Yayoi religion.
The first thing Ruan Xianbei did when he returned to the church was to go find Lao Jin with Xi'er in his arms and ask Yun Cai to settle Xi'er's mother. Yun Zhi followed her.
Only then did she realize that she had never known Xi'er Niang's name.
"My name is Qianniang, Qianli's Qian." Qianniang said.
"This is Yun Cai. If you need anything, call her. Xi'er is in critical condition. I'll take her for treatment first."
"Thank you, Miss Ruan." Qianniang also knew that she couldn't help. Lan Zhao gave her several medicines along the way, and her health was obviously much better. At least she was not out of breath after walking two steps.
She also saw Xi'er's abnormality and the power of Ruan Xianbei and Lan Zhao. Although she didn't understand, she also knew that it seemed that
It's a common illness. If they can't do anything, then Xi'er is probably really hopeless.
She held back tears and watched them leave, and Yun Cai took her to a guest room to stay.
As soon as Yun Zhi Yuncai knew that Ruan Xianbei was coming back, she started busy inside and outside. The already clean and tidy house was cleaned by them again, and the dishes to be cooked in the small kitchen were also checked.
But before they had time to be happy, they saw Ruan Xianbei rushing back with an anxious look. The two of them also realized that there might be an emergency and immediately got to work.
Qianniang looked at this guest room and felt that this house could be compared with the richest family in the village. She had never lived in such a good house and was at a loss. She was afraid that she would dirty it.
"Madam, the saint asked us to get you a set of clothes. We will sleep in the open air along the way. Do you want to take a bath or eat first?" Yun Cai asked politely.
"I want to wait for my daughter, okay..." She grabbed the corner of her clothes and said softly. Even the maids here were dressed as beautifully as ladies.
Qianniang's voice was so low that Yuncai thought she had scared her, and Yuncai also lowered her voice and said, "But the Holy Lady said she didn't know how long she would have to go. Miss Lanzhao just told us to boil some medicine for you, saying that this medicine should be taken after meals."
Seeing that Qian Niang was silent, Yun Cai asked, "How about you eat first, madam? We can take a bath together when sister Xi'er comes back."
"Okay." Qianniang agreed obediently. The host had already made arrangements. It would seem a bit hypocritical if she persisted. Yuncai responded and prepared to go to work. At the end, she added, "Girl, don't... ...Don’t call me madam, just call me Qianniang.”
"Yes, Qianniang, please take a rest for a while." Yuncai saw that she was hesitant to speak and said, "We will tell you if there is any news from the Saint."
Qianniang nodded blankly, focusing on Xi'er.
...
"Lao Jin! Lao Jin!"
As we all know, Elder Jin is a contemporary poison research fanatic and a social phobia patient. In order to avoid being found by the saint, he is even willing to trade his little treasure for time to practice in isolation, and Ruan Xianbei also knows his Character Yiyan did not torture him.
Yun Zhi had already knocked on Elder Jin's door half a step ahead of them, saying that the saint had something urgent to do with life and it was very urgent to see her. Elder Jin thought that he hadn't seen anyone for more than half a year, so he wanted to see what the matter was, so When Ruan Xianbei arrived, the door was already open.
"Saint, please stop shouting and come in."
Elder Jin's yard is filled with strange bottles and cans, and they smell strange. People who don't know it might think they are doing something wrong. No wonder he lives alone in the mountains.
Several people entered the main room. It was dark inside in broad daylight. Just when Ruan Xianbei was about to wake up, a door to the secret room opened automatically, glowing with a faint light.
Yun Zhi didn't like this atmosphere, so she took a step back and said, "Saint, I'll be waiting for you outside. If you need anything, call me."
"Okay." Ruan Xianbei nodded. She also felt that this was not a place for people to live. "I'm really convinced."
She just took a look at the corners of the house, which were covered with cobwebs. If now was not the time to talk about this, she would definitely tell Lao Jin why this house looked like a haunted house.
"Saint." Elder Jin looked reluctant to see this saint. He just wanted to concentrate on studying his poison skills and didn't want to see anyone.
"If I didn't come to you unless it was an emergency, please see how this little girl is doing. Xiaoqing can't cure her poison."
There was a bed made of stone in the secret room, but it had been polished smooth and flat. Ruan Xianbei placed the unconscious Xi'er on it.
Xiao Qing was Elder Jin’s favorite work. In order to avoid being harassed by the saint, Elder Jin reluctantly gave up his love to Xiao Qing. After hearing that Xiao Qing couldn’t cure the poison, he became energetic and asked with glowing eyes. : "Where where?"
As the saying goes, there is no separation between medicine and poison. He checked Xi'er's pulse and other conditions and said, "If you can't tell, let's bleed first."
Lan Zhao handed him a knife and a small bowl from the workbench next to him. He took it and slashed Xi'er's wrist. As soon as he received enough blood, a strange scene appeared.
.
The blood in the wound actually flowed slower and slower, and it tended to heal slowly on its own.
Elder Jin became even more excited. He pulled Ruan Xianbei and asked, "Saint girl, come and see, what is going on? Where did you get this little girl?"
Ruan Xianbei also felt strange, and then he had time to tell him what happened in Ansui Village. When Elder Jin heard this, he frowned at first, then nodded, and then turned around a few times and muttered.
"Wonderful, really wonderful! Why don't you bring some back?"
"What are you bringing? Are you bringing mutated corpses? What if you get infected?" Seeing his possessed look, Ruan Xianbei poured cold water on him and said, "Lao Jin, don't even think about it. If you dare to take human bodies, As an experiment, I will throw you into the Ten Thousand Poison Cave right now to feed the worms."
Elder Jin chuckled and denied, "How could I do such a sinful thing?"
"It better be."
Then again, Elder Jin observed Xi'er's blood, poured part of it into a small bottle, shook it, put the bottle down and wanted to observe Xi'er's body again.
"Elder Jin, you are a little girl after all. Let me come and see."
Seeing him lift up Xi'er's sleeves, Lan Zhao said, although doctors don't distinguish between men and women, patients still have to.
"This is the direct disciple of Mrs. Qingjun of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley." Ruan Xianbei blocked Elder Jin before he could speak.
"Girls are trouble." Elder Jin pouted and then stepped aside to let Lan Zhao do the work. "Look carefully and see if there are any changes in her skin."
He was observing Xi'er's blood.
Suddenly he said something that shocked Ruan Xianbei: "Saint, I think something is wrong. They did not take the medicine. The medicine should have entered their bodies in some way."
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."
