The Mountain Leopard pushed aside the weeds in front of him and moved out of the cave while holding on to the stone wall.
"I didn't expect that this secret passage would actually come in handy."
The sun was so bright that he couldn't keep his eyes open.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead and leaned against the entrance of the cave to relax for a while, and his eyes gradually became able to see clearly.
Looking around, seeing no one near or far, he staggered towards the northwest.
The right arm was numb and numb. From the chest to the thigh, it was burning like oil, and it was twitching from time to time.
Every step I took, I felt excruciating pain.
But he didn't dare to stop or stay in the cave. It was still too close to Fuli Valley. As long as hundreds of people searched the mountain, they could easily find him.
And just now he saw a few pieces of fresh excrement in the cave. Judging from the shape and size of the excrement, there must be beasts nearby.
The village fell apart, and the situation was difficult...
Zhuanshan Bao snorted coldly in his heart, "It doesn't matter, as long as I have a breath, I will have a chance to turn over!"
I have taken ginseng king, and my body is filled with vitality. My body will soon get better, and my broken arm will be restored to its original state.
Fortunately, he was cunning enough to arrange his escape route in advance, otherwise his fate would have been sealed.
It's just a pity that the foundation of more than 20 years was ruined by that kid!
Thinking of this, Zhuanshan Leopard gritted his teeth.
This account will have to be settled sooner or later!
…
Zhao Lin left the Diaoshe and returned to the meeting hall again.
The bandits on the mountain were already in chaos. Some said that the leader was dead and suggested that they break up and go down the mountain to escape for their lives.
Some people said that there was no body of the big boss in the meeting hall, so he must have gone out to move reinforcements, and he would come back sooner or later to restore the reputation of the village.
Because of different opinions, several small leaders each attracted a group of people, quarreled with each other, and even fought.
Zhao Lin had no time to pay attention to these mobs. He would beat them to death with an iron ruler when they met on the road, and he didn't bother to chase those who escaped.
The chair in the meeting hall smelled of a leopard, as well as a mink and myself.
After absorbing the scent-smelling mink's spirit, it can easily capture various scents in the air.
The feeling is so magical that it can’t even be described in words.
For example, when the human eye sees something, it can immediately tell whether the colors are red, orange, yellow and blue, or black, white, purple and blue.
Now Zhao Lin's sense of smell is the same. No matter how faint the smell is, he can recognize it at once, just like looking at the lines on the palm of your hand.
There were a few drops of fresh blood on the ground. Zhao Lin walked over, dipped his fingertips in it, put it to his nose and smelled it.
"Very good, I remember it!"
…
Zhuanshan Leopard was lying on the kang, with splints tied to his arms and hung in front of his chest with a thick hemp rope. There were circles and circles of cloth wrapped around his chest and abdomen, exuding a strong smell of herbs.
There was still a burning pain in my body, but there was a hint of tingling in the pain, indicating that the wound was healing.
This is good.
As long as your body recovers and you rely on your own abilities, where can you go in the world?
But when I think about losing to a young man less than twenty years old, I feel extremely unwilling.
He still can't understand why Zhao Lin was fine after being hit by a poisonous needle.
It’s just that he can advance rapidly in martial arts, but he’s immune to all kinds of poisons?
There are too many mysteries about this kid...
Zhuanshan Leopard licked his lips. He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being and instead looked at the thatched hut he was in.
The room was small, with old walls and mottled walls. There was nothing else in the room except tables, chairs and benches.
These few belongings are quite old, and they look older than me.
There were only a dozen households in the village, which he discovered accidentally on his way to escape.
It was located in a remote place and was relatively safe. Since he couldn't walk anymore, he knocked on the door of a house.
At first, Zhuanshan Leopard was worried about being recognized. After all, his appearance was well-known in Baekdu Mountain, and even those who had never seen him had heard of him.
Fortunately, there was only a woman in her thirties in this household. There was no man around, and she didn't look like a knowledgeable person.
Because he was worried about revealing his identity, he threw away his iron-toothed sword and burqa on the road. He only wore his undershirt and didn't have time to shave except for his beard. His appearance was completely different from that of the former bandit leader.
He told the woman that he had encountered a ferocious beast in the mountains and was seriously injured. The woman was not suspicious and helped him bandage his wounds and settled down at home to recuperate.
"Brother, are you awake?" A plain-looking woman dressed as a peasant woman came in carrying a pottery bowl.
"You're hungry, drink some rice soup."
"Thank you, sister!"
The Zuanshan Leopard grinned with a simple and honest smile on his face, and struggled to reach out to take the bowl.
"Drink slowly, it's hot."
The woman helped Zhuanshan Leopard up and sat down without hesitation, and placed the pottery bowl directly in his hand.
There is little water in the clear soup in the bowl, so thin that you can see the silhouette of a person.
Normally, Zuanshan Leopard wouldn't even look at it, but now he felt his saliva surge and his Adam's apple moved.
Take a sip, sweet and fragrant.
"This porridge is so delicious, it smells like flowers!"
Zhuanshan Leopard sighed sincerely.
"Then drink more, and I'll serve it again after you finish."
A smile appeared on the woman's face, "By the way, brother, which village are you from?"
"From Sanjia Village."
Zhuanshan Bao casually mentioned the name of a place far away from here, and then remembered that Sanjia Village was Zhao Lin's hometown.
"Are you a hunter or a farmer?" the woman asked again.
"Farming, occasionally going into the mountains to collect medicine or something."
Zhuan Shan Bao glanced outside the door and asked, "Who is in my sister's house?"
The woman lowered her head and said, "There is a ten-year-old boy who works as an apprentice at a carpenter's house over the mountain."
"Where's the man?"
"Two years ago, I was arrested by Huzi to raise horses. There has been no news. I don't know whether he is dead or alive."
The woman sighed, "The beard is really nothing!"
Zhuanshan Bao's hand holding the bowl trembled, and a fierce light flashed across his eyes.
When the woman saw that he was silent, she asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Zhuanshan Leopard said unnaturally, "You orphans and widowed mothers are not living a very easy life, right?"
The woman nodded and said, "Who says otherwise? This year is a good year, but it's a pity that there is no man in the family. I am too busy as a woman, and the land is all barren."
"My family is pretty good. There used to be more than a hundred families in the village. Some moved away and some moved to seek relatives because of their troubles. We are the only ones left who can't leave."
Zhuanshan Bao felt inexplicably irritable, drank up the porridge in a few mouthfuls, handed it over and said: "Excuse me, sister, please fill up another bowl."
"Okay." The woman took the bowl and left.
Zhuanshanbao stared at the woman's waist and swallowed.
He rarely gets close to women on weekdays. At this time, he was injured and was not out of danger, but for some reason, a desire arose in his heart.
Although the woman in front of me was rough and clumsy, she could barely see through it.
"You can't stay here for long. Give it another hour to regain some strength and deal with her before leaving. Just to vent your anger!"
After a while, the woman brought another bowl of rice soup.
