The woman was immediately frightened. She didn't even notice that there was someone else here. The level of cultivation between her and Fan Datou was obvious.
Gu Shengchao held the dart in his palm and asked: "Why should I go out?"
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Fan Datou praised and sighed: "Why go out? Why bother to come to this wilderness and suffer when you are staying at home."
The woman said loudly: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He is a flower picker. He robbed people's girls and I found him and he is trapped here. He is seriously injured now. You can kill him as long as you go over." Follow the path.”
Gu Shengchao slowly came to Fan Datou's side. Fan Datou was a little flustered. He managed to smile and said: "Little brother, you and I have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the recent days. Don't fall into the little bitch's trap."
"Brother, this flower picker has done many evil things. Killing him is to eliminate harm for the people. Don't listen to his sophistry." the woman advised.
Gu Shengchao threw away the darts in his hand, shook his head and said: "I killed someone today, and I will not kill anyone again. Besides, whether to kill or not, everyone will die sooner or later, so why bother about this moment." He said after a day. I have experienced too many changes in my life, and I am confused and don’t know where to go.
Fan Datou immediately felt relieved, "My little brother's words are right. If there is a fate, I, Fan Datou, will definitely repay you generously in the future."
The woman was anxious, "Brother, if you don't want to kill someone, you can call someone to help. Let's catch this flower-picking thief together. We must not let him do evil again."
Gu Shengchao thought of Zhao Yinhu's many disciples who were unjust and unjust, and couldn't help but snorted: "Calling someone? Can you be sure that others are really doing it for your own good and won't have any second thoughts?"
"How could you be like this? If you don't help, you are always acting weird." The woman was angry and accused.
Gu Shengchao ignored them and slowly left alone.
"Hey, hey, are you really not going to help? This man is a flower picker. Can you bear to see a girl like me being bullied by him?" The woman was anxious. She knew that she had just shot Fan Da in the head, and her ankle bones were broken. , the two of them wasting their time like this, and it must be themselves who suffered in the end.
Gu Shengchao's parents were killed when he was a child, and he was forced to wander around the world since he was a child. He experienced many hardships and setbacks. The woman's words just now touched his compassionate heart. He stopped and asked, "How can I help you?"
"If you don't kill him, take me away from here to avoid being insulted by him in the future. I have money, and I will be grateful when I get home." The woman did not cover up her words at the critical moment, fearing that Gu Shengchao would really leave.
Gu Shengchao hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "To be honest, my Dantian has been damaged and the injuries are serious. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
Fan Datou laughed loudly, and couldn't help but groan a few times as he touched the wound, "Shuang Kuang, I respect you as a man. Let's do it this way. There was a cart by the road not far back. Just now, the farmer passed by and was scared by the two of us. Come on, Yinshi has just arrived and she shouldn't be lost. She is a delicate little lady, and I can't bear to sleep in this cemetery on a cold night. You go over and push the little lady away, and I, Fan Datou, will never embarrass you."
Gu Shengchao used the faint starlight to look for the past, and there was a wheelbarrow lying down on the roadside not far away. He pushed and helped the woman to lie on her side in the car. The woman was unwilling to be hurt and pleaded: "Brother, push me over. I can't kill him but I will slap him a few times."
"There are wolves here, save your energy to deal with them!" Gu Shengchao pushed the wheelbarrow and left the cemetery.
Fan Datou said with a playful smile: "I'll see you later, little brother." He spoke louder, and he couldn't help but groan due to the severe pain caused by the wound.
There were wolves in the night, so Gu Shengchao didn't dare to delay. He walked along the road and came to a town at dawn. The town was not big, and the villagers who went to the market in the morning had already set up stalls and started operating. They were a little surprised to see Gu Shengchao and the two of them.
One is lame, and the other has blood on his chest and skirt. How can he not make people suspicious?
The woman lied that they were a couple, and when she was returning to her parents' home at night, she was attacked by a wild wolf. Her husband was bitten and she fell down and broke her leg. The woman was sincere and everyone believed her. The woman was generous and bought Gu Shengchao a new blouse. The two of them had breakfast on the roadside and asked about a doctor nearby. Gu Shengchao pushed the woman over and asked the doctor to fix the bones with a stick.
Gu Shengchao was penniless, but fortunately the woman did not lie to him and had an unknown amount of silver with her.
Knowing that Gu Shengchao was exhausted, the woman found a guest room at an inn to rest before continuing on the road the next day.
Gu Shengchao pushed the woman forward slowly, and the two exchanged names while chatting. It turns out that the woman's name is Ding Ying, and she is a disciple of Qixingya Sect. She went down the mountain to do something on the orders of her master. When she saw Fan Datou in the suburbs, he wanted to do something wrong to a little girl. The sheep almost fell into the tiger's mouth. Gu Shengchao also briefly told the story of how he avenged his father. Ding Ying was filled with tears after hearing this, and said with relief:
"Brother, if you don't mind, just stay with me at Qixing Cliff! Qixing Cliff is rich in tea, especially Qixing Cold Tea, which is the most valuable. However, the sect stipulates that men are not allowed to go up the mountain, so from planting to picking, it is all done by our girl's family. Stay here It's possible that you can do some chores at the teahouse down the mountain. When I go back and report it to the master, maybe she can help you settle down."
Gu Shengchao thanked me and said: "Thanks to the girl's care, when I assassinated my enemy, I did not intend to leave alive. I had already made preparations for death. I was lucky to escape by chance. Unfortunately, my Dantian was damaged and I could no longer practice kung fu. I had no choice but to take one step and see. One step."
The two of them were not moving very fast, chatting as they walked. Gu Shengchao has been wandering around the world since he was a child, and Ding Ying was amazed when he talked about the customs and customs of various places. Ding Ying seemed to be traveling far away for the first time, and she knew very little about the grievances and worldly ways of the world.
Ding Ying's bone was broken, and it was impossible to recover even after a short period of time after being corrected by the doctor. The injured area was in severe pain even with the slightest exertion. The ancient sage suffered internal injuries, but as long as he didn't forcefully try to use his true energy, he was no different from ordinary people. The stone on the back of the head was a skin injury, which healed within a few days and was not serious. Fortunately, he was strong and strong, so even when Ding Ying was lying on the unicycle, it was not very difficult for her to push.
At first, Gu Shengchao was worried that the government would draw shadows and patterns in the towns he passed through to catch him, but there was no movement for many days. It was probably because the people did not complain to the officials, and the government was too lazy to care about the affairs in the world, and no one reported the case. Just turn a blind eye.
The two traveled for more than 30 days and passed a prosperous town. Ding Ying became excited, "Brother Gu, look, the city in the distance is called Luo Ya Bay. Every year in mid-March, countless strange black birds will fly in and usually stay. For several days, the blackbird can cover the entire sky. It is named because it looks like a crow. Going eastward along the river under the city, there are some lively towns along the way. Our tea from Qixingya is basically delivered by boat Go to both sides of the river. After passing Luoyao Bay and walking along the valley, we will reach Qixing Cliff in more than ten days."
"With so many birds flying around, it must be spectacular, right?" Gu Shengchao suddenly remembered a question and asked: "If I remember correctly, today is March 12th, and the blackbirds should be coming soon."
"Really?" Ding Ying was surprised, "It's not easy to come out, so let's stay here temporarily and see the strange black bird covering the entire city."
The terrain of Luoya Bay is flat, with a river passing through the city and surrounded by mountains. It is shaped like a giant bowl, with Luoya Bay just at the lowest point in the center of the bowl. Because there are rivers crisscrossing the city, there are no walls around the city.
The two of them entered the city and found that there were few pedestrians on the streets. The few they met occasionally were in a hurry. After asking a few inns along the street, she found out that all the guest rooms were full and there was no spare room. She finally found an inn that had the last room left, but when she asked the price, Ding Ying was in trouble. It was ridiculously expensive. Staying for just one night was equivalent to The cost is usually eight or nine days.
"Let's go, we have enough money to spend all the way back." Ding Ying thought it was expensive and urged Gu Shengchao to push her on the way.
The two were about to leave, but the shopkeeper reminded: "I advise you to stay. No one knows when the black bird will come. I'm afraid that no matter how much money you spend, you won't be able to find a place by then."
Ding Ying didn't believe it: "Can small birds be as ferocious as tigers and leopards? Do they have extra wings or do they have mouths full of teeth? Don't scare us."
"Little girl, don't be so harsh. If you regret it, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it anymore." The shopkeeper looked at the two people leaving and shook his head regretfully.
Gu Shengchao pushed Ding Ying on the way, and asked several inns where they still had no guest rooms. Some inns had even closed their doors and no longer accepted guests.
"Luoya Bay, Luoya Bay, the birds are coming and covering the sky; my father is shouting, my mother is shouting, and every house is closing its doors." Ding Ying looked at the empty streets and recited a Tong Yao poem casually.
Gu Shengchao asked: "What do you mean?"
Ding Ying shook her head: "I don't know either. Anyway, I have long forgotten the children's songs I learned while playing with my friends when I was a child. I suddenly remembered them and recited them just now."
"Every house has its doors closed." Gu Shengchao repeated in a low voice. He observed the houses along the way, and sure enough, every house had their doors closed.
It seemed that the wind was blowing, but there was no sign of the wind blowing. There was just a strange sound coming, like the sound of wind but unexplainable and mysterious. Gu Shengchao realized the seriousness of the problem and discussed with Ding Ying: "Otherwise, we should go back and make do for one night. It seems that this situation is not good."
The deserted streets and strange noises also made Ding Ying tremble, and inexplicable fear surged into her heart. She nodded in agreement.
The wind really picked up, and the treetops nearby shook violently without warning, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and rushing toward the two of them.
"Wow...wow..."
Several strange black birds flew over their heads.
Ten, fifty, a hundred...
Flocks of blackbirds appeared densely in the sky, and the clear afternoon sky began to darken. More blackbirds flew past at low altitude. The too dense flock of blackbirds was unable to dodge, and from time to time they collided with the two of them, causing heart-wrenching pain. Gu Shengchao's shoulder was even scratched, and blood seeped out.
The incident happened so suddenly that it was too late for the two of them to return to the inn. Seeing that the corner next to her was slightly concave, Gu Shengchao pushed Ding Ying and ran over, picked her up and put her against the wall, then turned the wheelbarrow upside down to protect the two of them at the corner.
It was dark when it was dark, and I couldn't see anything. I could only hear countless black birds flapping their wings at the same time, making a whining sound, driving the cyclone to roll up, and the wind howling.
The blackbird hit the wheelbarrow, and Gu Shengchao almost lost his grip several times. He held on tightly to prevent the wheelbarrow from being swept away by the numerous blackbirds. Ding Ying also understood the urgency of the matter. She helped hold the wheelbarrow, and the two of them guarded this small safe harbor together.
