After crying for a while, Xiao Ning knelt down in front of the old doctor Fan Zhenbang and said: "Old sir, please think of a way to save my uncle, please." As he said that, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Fan Zhenbang quickly helped him up, shook his head and said, "My child, it's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I really can't. In this case, I'll show you a clear path."
Fan Zhenbang coughed and saw Xiao Ning nodding his head, and then said: "Twenty miles to the west, there is a village called Dongjialing. There is a doctor in the village, also named Dong. It is said that his grandfather once served as an imperial doctor in the previous dynasty. According to the skills passed down from our family, he has the best medical skills from all over the country. Go and ask him to come over and have a look. If he can't cure it, then no one can."
"Thank you sir, I'll go right away." After hearing this, Xiao Ning bowed his head and turned around to leave.
"Come back, come back." Doctor Fan raised his hand to stop him again, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a prescription under the moonlight.
"Don't worry, go and get the medicine for this prescription first. I'll watch your uncle take it here, and it will stabilize him for a while. Doctor Dong was busy during the day, but you went there at this time today, but he was resting. Come on, if you invite him like this, you won't be able to get him immediately, and this will also prevent further mishaps."
Xiao Ning thanked him and took the prescription, and Fan Zhenbang pointed him to the nearest Zhendian before letting him go.
After traveling north for more than ten miles, I saw Zhendian, which Fan Langzhong mentioned. At this moment, most of the people in the town had turned off their lights. Before Xiao Ning could ride to the town's entrance, he suddenly felt like someone was guarding the town's entrance.
This time Xiao Shaoxia was cautious and did not ride straight into the town. Instead, he tied the horse in the woods beside the road and used his Qinggong skills to slip into the town from one side.
By this time, there were few lights in the town. He found a pharmacy in the dark. He didn't dare to knock on the door. He just climbed over the wall into the yard, pried open the pharmacy door, and compared the prescription with the name marked on the medicine cabinet. Not caring about the weight, I grabbed the straw paper on the cabinet and randomly wrapped some of it, tied it up and left.
After leaving the courtyard, I flew to my room and was rushing out of the town. Suddenly I felt like an inn beside me. There was a room with lights still on. At this time, a person at the door was about to go inside. I saw a vague figure from behind, which seemed to besieging Yu Fangzhou during the day. man of.
Xiao Ning was in a hurry this time. He didn't bring a weapon with him, so he didn't dare to take action. I thought that if the thief was resting in the town, I would just take a peek or two before leaving.
So I was not in a hurry to leave the town. I flew under the eaves and saw a "pearl inverted roller blind". I hung my body upside down with my legs hooked on the roof beam, licked the broken window lattice paper and looked inside.
There were two people in the room at the moment. The one who came in was thin and withered. He was placing wine and meat on the table. A big man was sitting not far away, but it was the man who had used the steel whip during the day.
At this moment, I heard the thin man say: "Boss Tang, come and have a drink together."
The big man came to the table, stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth. He sneered and said, "What are you doing here at night?"
"Isn't this just to have a few drinks with you, Mr. Tang?"
"Bullshit, if you have something to say or fart, get out of here." The big man glanced at him and said coldly.
"Boss Tang," the man was not annoyed at being scolded, and continued to serve wine and dishes, "do you think it's worth it for us to hook up with several brothers to intercept the man named Yu this time?"
"It's up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not. You have to sacrifice your life for money, not to mention those of us who are licking blood with our knife heads. Who can say where we will die?"
"Tsk," the thin man sneered, "Forget about selling your life for money. The reason why we came to help Mr. Tan and Mr. Tan this time is because they have had many connections with Fanbang Wulin in recent years. Look at us. Whoever helps people in the Central Plains is not a street rat, so I can only rely on the two of them to recommend me. It is better to go to a foreign country to work as a thug than to live in darkness in the Central Plains."
"Sigh," the big man also put down his wine bowl, "Yes, we can't survive in the Central Plains. Either our enemies are too tough or they are wanted by the government. None of these people can save fuel. This time the Tan family called us together and just said I went to meet the masters of the Fan Gang, but I didn’t know there was such a thing.”
"That's right, the Tan family's two pieces of goods are nothing. It's just nonsense to say that the enemy's martial arts is only slightly better than the two of them together. I think that Yu's martial arts is more than ten times higher than the two of them. At this moment, he is still being guarded. At the entrance of the town, at the pharmacy, they are waiting for someone to come and treat their injuries. I think they have already run away." The thin man raised his hand and said.
The big man who asked the question nodded, and suddenly frowned, "No, I saw this Yu Fangzhou on Jiangnan Road more than ten years ago. He didn't have such a high level of skill, so why has he made so much progress in the past few years?"
"He's from a good background. Hey, let's not talk about it." The thin man suddenly said sneakily, "Boss Tang, which master do you think the two of the Tan family have accepted this time?"
"It's nothing more than the Shenyin Sect and the Iron Sage. A few years ago, there was news that the 'Four Saints' Secret Treasure Map' had reappeared in Jiangling. I heard that someone from the Shenyin Sect went south, but there was no news later. Some time ago The 'Bald Immortal' Yue Changhai has not appeared for a long time, and there is chaos in the sect. Recently, I heard that he has appeared again, reorganizing the teaching affairs, and ordering people from the martial arts world in the north to come and pay homage. I am afraid it is the Shenyin Sect who comes this time."
"Are you asking about the 'Four Saints Secret Treasure Map'?"
"It's possible. Hey, why are you talking about this? Can we count on that thing? We can take it but we can't spend it."
"That's right, by the way, Boss Tang, I heard that you also got a treasure a few years ago. How about showing it to open your eyes?" The thin man's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What is it?" The big man said warily when he heard this, "What kind of treasure is there?"
"Boss Tang, don't be so stingy. Just let me open my eyes, brother, and I don't want you." The thin man said with a sneer on his face.
"No, no," the big man threw down his wine bowl, stood up and chased the thin man out, "Let's go, let's go, I'm going to bed."
At this moment, the thin man was being pushed away, and he was shouting: "Boss Tang, can you please stop being so stingy? Yes, yes, yes, please don't push me. I can't leave by myself."
Pushing the thin man out of the door and watching him go away, Mr. Tang turned around and went back to the house, muttering: "If I had known you would do nothing good if you came here, you would just do some dirty business, how could you still do it?" Do you have good intentions?"
I turned around and listened carefully for a while. I felt that no one was around, so I pulled out a leather bag from the package. It was about a foot long and three fingers wide. I weighed it in my hand. After thinking about it, I reached out and hid it under the pillow. , and then lay down with his clothes on.
Seeing that there was nothing more to pry about, Xiao Ning went to the bedroom again, jumped out of the town like a civet cat, beat the horse and returned to the mountain village.
When they arrived at Old Man Fan's house, everyone was still waiting there. The old man, Fan Zhenbang, went to cook some medicine. Xiao Ning couldn't sleep for a while, so he said hello to Fan Lin and rode to Dongjialing.
As soon as he left the village, Xiao Ning was worried about the people in the inn again. He thought it was too early to go to Dongjialing at this time, why don't I go and have a look. If it goes smoothly, he would vent his anger on Uncle Yu first. So he turned his horse around, took his bow and knife and rushed towards the town again.
The third watch of this torment was over, and they were seeing the entrance of the town ahead. Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front. Xiao Ning secretly thought, coming out of the town at this time, it could be a group of thieves. At this moment, he didn't want to face the visitor, so he rode his horse into the forest beside the road.
When I was young, I saw a horse riding from the official road. I watched carefully under the moonlight. It was the thin man who had been drinking in the room just now. I saw that he was walking in a hurry.
When the enemy saw him, he was extremely jealous. Seeing that there was no one around him, how could Xiao Ning let him pass? Now he was holding his bow and arrow in the shadows, watching the person coming. When the person passed in front of him, he just shot an arrow straight out. Go to his back.
When the arrow came out, Xiao Ning quickly dismounted his horse, and Fang Chulin shook his hand and shot the dart straight to the side of the neck.
In fact, the man had vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side, but he didn't see anyone so far, so he was already more careful. Then he suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings, and knew that someone was ambushing him, so he quickly ducked sideways. He was about to say "Who is it?", but Xiao Ning was too close to him. The arrow only made him happy, but it penetrated diagonally from the right chest.
Before the words came out, he turned into a scream, but he only screamed half a cry before Xiao Ning blocked his throat with a dart and fell off the horse.
At this time, Xiao Ning also drew his sword and dismounted. Seeing that the other party was already dead, he let out a long sigh. At this time, he was afraid that a group of thieves would come and expose the target, so he dragged the dead body and tried to bury it in the forest. Unexpectedly, as soon as the body was moved, something fell out of his arms. Looking through the moonlight, he saw that it was not the thing that the whipman had hidden under his pillow.
Only then did Xiao Ning understand why the other party was on the road in a hurry in the middle of the night. It turned out that he had stolen the big man's treasure and didn't want to get entangled with him, so he escaped overnight.
After burying the body, I opened the skin bag and took a closer look. It turned out to be a sheathed dagger, about eight inches long. When viewed under the moonlight, it was completely light green. On the handle were three ancient Chinese characters "Zang Feng Lu". When it comes out of the sheath, the blade and the handle are as if they are one piece, as if they were carved from a single piece of sapphire. The blade is about two fingers wide. Reflecting the moonlight, a circle of green mist covers half an inch around the dagger, making people feel chilled for a moment. , Xiao Ning took it and gently whittled the weapon left by the thin man. The long sword of fine steel seemed to be able to blow hair. There was only the sound of cutting paper in his ears. It was a magic weapon.
Xiao Ning was happy to see it and tied it under his arm. When he saw that the thin man's horse had not escaped, he took the reins with him and walked towards the town again.
When he was approaching the town, he still went into the woods to get the horses. Regardless of whether there was anyone at the town entrance, he still used his Qinggong to go around the town from the side.
It felt like he was not far from the inn. Xiao Ning was lying on a room and was about to identify something. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind blowing from behind. This really shocked him. When he dodged, he was still a little slower and was caught by This palm grazed the left arm. At this time, he did not dare to cry out in pain, but turned around in a muffled voice and fought with the man. It was difficult to see clearly in the dark night. The two of them fought with each other with fierce moves. Now that he was in the enemy's cave, he also He didn't dare to quarrel with the opponent, and for a while he used the Eagle Claw Kung Fu and the Arm-Through Fist in a desperate posture, forcing the opponent to panic. He took the opportunity to secretly shoot a dart, and now he heard the opponent's "Ah "With a sound, the man fell down the room with his hands on his throat.
At this moment, he also knew that his traces had been exposed, and he did not dare to stop any longer, nor did he dare to go straight to the place where the horse was hidden, so he had to spread his body and rush into the woods on the left side of the town.
The figure here was moving, and someone from the inn in front was heard shouting: "Who is it!" Several figures had already rushed out, and two people were rushing towards the town entrance. In an instant, a group of people arrived at the place where the incident occurred. They were surrounding the fallen man and were making trouble for themselves. Some brave people had already followed Xiao Ning. Some people in the field also raised darts and recognized Yu Fangzhou who had rescued him during the day. The young man used it, and some people even complained about the ambush at the entrance of the town. They didn't find anyone entering the town. The fish in the net escaped again, and it was difficult to stop the noise for a while.
In the forest on the edge of the town, Xiao Ning hid for nearly an hour before getting rid of his pursuers. At this time, he quietly came to the horse, untied the rope and mounted the horse. After galloping for five or six miles, he breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly thought that he had been reckless after all. This time Since their traces were revealed, the thieves must have known that the two of them were hiding nearby, but they still don't know what happened next.
At this time, there was no other choice but to rub his arm with one hand, identify the road ahead, and drive the horse towards Dongjialing.
