The cold voice was like a ghost.
A chill instantly rushed from the soles of my feet to my forehead.
Isn’t this even dead?
Bai Song gritted his teeth, gripped the handle of the knife hard, and used all his strength to thrust the knife into the strong man's waist.
But the muscles on this strong man's body were as if they were made of iron. He could only enter half an inch, and could not go any further.
How could this kill him?
Bai Song was sweating like rain. His thoughts were usually very fast, but at this moment, his mind seemed to be short-circuited and all was blank.
"careful!"
Niu Da suddenly shouted.
Bai Song trembled all over, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
They saw that the strong man had loosened Niu Da's collar, turned around, and hit Bai Song's abdomen with his elbow.
Bai Song immediately let go of the handle of the knife and clasped his hands on his abdomen to protect it.
Bai Song knew that this man was extremely powerful, and he was afraid that his arms would be broken if he resisted, so he blocked him with his elbows and simply did not make any resistance, following his strange force and flying backwards.
At this moment, Bai Song finally realized what it meant to be lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai!
A strange force came over him, and he seemed to be unable to feel the weight of his body. He flew out as lightly as a feather, and he could almost see his body tearing open the rain curtain.
I don’t know how far I flew, but I felt like my whole body was hitting the ground like a mountain, and I couldn’t get up.
"Cough cough cough..."
After a violent cough, Bai Song felt that his mouth was full of fishy sweetness. He wiped his mouth and saw nothing but blood. His thoughts became erratic, as if he had fallen into a dream.
In the haze, Bai Song vaguely heard Niu Da's voice shouting: "Run! Run... run!"
Apart from the sound of rain, there seemed to be only the roar of cattle between heaven and earth, which was a little monotonous and a little tragic.
Bai Song's vision gradually blurred, and he felt that his consciousness was drifting away.
"Don't sleep! Don't sleep! Can't sleep!"
In his thoughts, Bai Song kept reminding himself, and even slapped himself hard, and his blurred eyes finally focused.
He saw the gangsters running away. One of them was knocked over by a stone thrown by the strong man and fell into the rain. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
But fortunately, most people left and ran away.
Maybe this is the blessing among misfortunes?
Bai Song lay on the ground and smiled miserably, and squeezed out three words: "Ahem... I'm so wasted..."
As a time traveler, maybe only this kind of self-deprecating ridicule can make myself a little more decent, right?
If a time traveler has such a difficult life in this world, what kind of life will those poor people face?
In the cold rain, Bai Song was a little tired, and suddenly felt that there was nothing good about ancient times.
If nothing had happened, I would still be the elegant graduate tutor, enjoying a good life, and I would never encounter such a bloody and life-or-death situation in my life.
If he died like this, it would be a kind of relief...
Suddenly, a figure ran past, and the man cried: "Brother Niu!"
The desperate cry instantly woke up the confused Bai Song. Bai Song was startled and knew that it was Cai He. He saw a small foot at hand, and Bai Song grabbed her.
Plop.
Caihe fell to the ground, but still cried and wanted to rush forward.
"Ahem..."
Bai Song was so excited that he coughed again and coughed up blood.
But after he vomited the blood that was blocking his heart, he felt better. When he looked up, his pupils shrank.
Behind the layers of rain, Niu Da let out a shrill scream. The rain was crimson and blood filled the sky.
As the strong man laughed wildly, one of the arms of the man in the distance who was supposed to be strong was torn off!
The severed arm was thrown away casually, drew an arc in the rain curtain, and fell silently in front of Bai Song.
"Ah...Brother Niu!" The woman on the ground screamed even more sharply, kicking Bai Song desperately with both feet.
Bai Song froze on the ground, looking at a severed arm in front of him, almost forgetting about his injury.
"Go quickly! Go quickly..."
There are only repetitive and monotonous words in the rain curtain.
Bai Song listened to the sound getting further and further away. Niu Da dragged his body and ran in the opposite direction, while the strong man chased behind him.
"Brother Niu..."
Caihe cried hoarsely and struggled to get up.
Bai Song gritted his teeth, his veins twitching. He looked at the arm in front of him and quickly picked it up.
Thinking about the slight hint of discouragement before, Bai Song was extremely ashamed!
When you come here, you are no longer alone. You will not be one person in life, and you will not be one person in death!
relief?
Once here, there is no way to escape!
Bai Song braced himself, got up from the rain, put the big broken arm in his arms, and pressed Caihe tightly in his arms with his other hand.
"Let's go! We can't let Niu Da fight for nothing!"
"Master Bai, Brother Niu will die...wuwuwu..."
"So we must live even more! Live to avenge him!"
"Can we really still take revenge?"
"Yes! It must be possible!"
…
It was a long rainy night, and every minute and every second was suffering.
The Wei River did not burst its banks after all, and the rain washed away all traces.
The governor returned with various official missions. On the way, he inevitably visited and expressed condolences at the people's homes.
This night, the governor won a lot of good reputation.
By early morning, the heavy rain had finally subsided.
Under the dim light of the early morning, there was a small oil umbrella under the banyan tree. At the end of the long street was the carriage in which Mr. Zheng Zhai was traveling, disappearing from sight in the distance.
The girl under the little umbrella looked tired, but was dressed delicately and beautifully. She was groggy and forced herself to be energetic, looking in the opposite direction of the carriage, her mouth slightly open in a dreamy manner.
This girl knows that the young man often comes from here.
The girl waited for two hours, from dawn to... to...
The girl looked at the gloomy sky and didn't know what time it was.
In the front house, the maid Dongxiang ran over holding an umbrella: "Miss, it's better not to wait... That boy won't come."
Adou was still looking in that direction without making any movement, his face was calm and firm at the same time. He just pinched the tender flesh of his little finger holding the umbrella from time to time, obviously thinking something in his mind.
"Don't worry, it rained heavily last night, maybe something happened."
"Even if something happens, you can go back and wait. Why should Miss..."
"I agreed with Mr. Bai to meet under this banyan tree. If Mr. Bai comes back now, he might think that I haven't come out to greet him. Wasn't the wait was in vain?"
"It's Chenshi, I don't know how long it's been! That young man has a slippery tone and no real appearance. It's not worth waiting for him."
"Okay, okay! You go back and wait here. When it's time to go back, you should go back."
It was rare that the young lady would get impatient sometimes, so Dongxiang couldn't say anything after seeing this, so she had no choice but to throw away her hand and go back to the yard.
As soon as Dongxiang left, Adou, who was under the umbrella, was looking in the direction he had been looking at for a long time. Suddenly his eyes widened and someone suddenly appeared in the empty rain street.
From a distance, I couldn't see clearly, but the figure was similar to the young master I thought of.
It's just that the rain curtain is still there, why didn't the man hold an umbrella, and he was holding on to the wall step by step when he came all the way.
Zheng Qihua felt something was wrong, so she quickly got up and ran towards the person.
As the distance got closer, the figure became clearer and clearer. Wasn't that the person he had been waiting for for a long time?
But judging from the other party's state, something is obviously wrong.
Adou was anxious and ran forward quickly. After identifying his identity, he shouted impatiently: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Song looked extremely embarrassed in the rain. He dragged his breath and walked step by step until he saw the girl running towards him. Then he smiled miserably: "Miss Adou... Xiaosheng is late."
After a sound, he drained all his strength, and his body went limp and fell towards the girl in front of him.
Adou was startled, lost his umbrella, opened his hands, took Bai Song into his arms, and shouted repeatedly: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai..."
Bai Song half-squinted his eyes and looked listless, with a trace of blood coming out of the corner of his mouth and staining Adou's sleeves.
Seeing the blood, Adou trembled in fright and almost fell down.
"Mr. Bai, what happened?"
When asked again, Bai Song had no response.
Adou's eyes were wet, and without thinking too much, he dragged Bai Song towards his home.
While walking, I didn’t forget to shout to my house: “Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!”
Not long after, several servants came to the Zheng residence and helped the young lady take Bai Song to the guest room in the mansion to lie down.
Dongxiang came over after hearing the news and was shocked when she saw Mr. Bai on the bed.
Miss Zheng frowned: "Quick, go and ask the doctor."
"No... no need!"
Mr. Bai, who had been silent until now, suddenly struggled to speak.
Zheng Qihua hurriedly turned around and squatted beside the bed: "Mr. Bai, are you okay? Don't scare me..."
"Ahem..." Bai Song coughed lightly, "It doesn't matter, I just want a few slices of dried ginseng."
"Quick, go to the warehouse and get the best dried ginseng."
After holding a piece of dried ginseng in his mouth, Bai Song's energy and blood improved slightly.
Zheng Qihua dismissed all the servants and left himself alone in the guest room. He asked Dongxiang, the girl next to him, to wipe the dirt on Mr. Bai's body with a hot towel.
"I've disturbed the house today, so I should go and thank the master and his wife."
"Mr. Bai, don't move. Now I am the only one who makes the decision in the family."
"Where is Mr. Zheng?"
"I went to my master's house to do some business. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back today."
"Where's the mistress?"
"My mother...went away early..."
"..."
"Mr. Bai, what happened to you?"
"No... nothing?" Bai Song looked troubled.
This expression clearly revealed something unspeakable, and Zheng Qihua became more and more anxious: "Mr. Bai, if you can trust this little girl, tell me what happened. Although the little girl has no ability, the Zheng family is by no means ordinary in Jixian, and she will definitely uphold justice for the young master. .”
"It has nothing to do with others. It's all my own fault."
"..." Zheng Qihua was even more puzzled. He looked at Dongxiang and whispered, "Dongxiang, please avoid it first."
"Miss……"
Zheng Qihua's expression was serious and he did not wait for any rebuttal.
Dong Xiang had to leave.
"Mr. Bai, can you say it now?"
Bai Song found it difficult to do anything, so he whispered: "I passed by a gambling house and owed gambling debts. I ran out of money and couldn't pay back, so I was beaten..."
"Sir, you...you...how can you contract the gambling disease?"
"Adou, it's my fault that I failed to live up to your expectations. You...you...must look down on a gambler like me, right? I...I don't have the face to see you again. I just remember our date yesterday and don't miss the girl." I am considered a dishonest person. Today, I have come to give you an explanation, please let me go and stop talking to a rotten person like me."
