I saw Xiong Ming and the other three running past me not far away. I was so excited that I almost screamed.
At that moment, I no longer bothered with that damn piece of cloth.
Jumping on my feet, I turned around and chased them in the direction they disappeared.
The corner was only about ten meters away from me. I lowered my body and ran forward, and in a short time I rounded the corner.
But what I never expected was that what was waiting for me was not the warm embrace from Xiong Ming and the others. On the contrary, the moment I turned around, I suddenly felt the wind of a fist hitting my face.
Just hearing a "hoo" sound, a fist the size of a sandbag was already in front of me.
I was so shocked that I almost peed.
However, fortunately, I am a practitioner. Seeing the fist coming towards me, I immediately turned my body and tilted my head, and the fist almost hit my cheek.
One punch missed, and the guy opposite obviously didn't intend to give me a chance to breathe. He swayed from side to side, and his two fists hit my face and chest like raindrops.
I was very embarrassed by this sneak attack. After a few rounds, I was punched several times by the guy hiding in the dark. Especially the punch on my stomach almost knocked out my overnight meal. .
I endured the sour water in my stomach, arched my body, and dodged the guy's straight punch. Then, I kicked off my back feet, turned my waist, rounded my arms, and aimed at the guy's ribs. Hit it.
The guy who ambushed me obviously didn't expect that I would still have the strength to fight back after taking so many punches from him. He was immediately stunned.
It was this moment of confusion that gave me an excellent opportunity.
I first hit the guy's ribs with a punch, and then I raised my left hand and hit the guy's cheek with a swinging fist.
The touch between the bones on the top of the fist and the guy's cheekbones made me feel excited at this moment.
The big black figure in front of me was shaken by my two punches, but just when I was about to pursue the victory, a person suddenly appeared behind me.
I was shocked and secretly shouted: "No! Someone is attacking!"
But before I could finish these words, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. The next second, the sound of some broken pottery came to my ears.
Then, and then, a strong feeling of dizziness came over me, accompanied by severe twitching in my stomach. Then I felt that my vision went dark, my chest tightened, and I didn't know anything at all.
… …
Darkness is a very special existence in this world.
Some people don't like it very much, because most of these people are afraid of the dark. In their hearts, the invisible and intangible things are the most terrifying.
But some people are extremely dependent on it, because most of these people can only wander around the world when darkness falls.
The house was dark and it was raining outside.
Big drops of rain hit the glass and windowsill, making a "plop, plop, plop" sound.
There are no special ornaments or furniture in the room, except for a bed and a chair.
Lying on the bed alone, he seemed to be awakened by the sound of rain outside the window, frowning and slowly opening his eyes.
This man is very old, with gray hair, and a beard growing under his lips. At first glance, this man seems to be somewhat connected to Xiong Ming.
The old man looked as if he had been seriously injured, with bandages all over his body. However, due to the man's severe injuries, the blood in many places had seeped through the gauze, so his whole body looked blood-stained at this time.
He was lying on the bed, looking very weak, and it took a lot of strength to barely move his mouth.
However, his lips were chapped and turned white. It was obvious that he had not drank water for a long time. With just a slight movement, a bloody gash suddenly opened, and a wisp of donated blood flowed into his mouth along the corner of his mouth.
But the old man didn't care. He tried his best to lick his lips with his tongue, but it was of no use at all.
After licking his lips twice, the old man said with all his strength: "Water...water...is there any water..."
Before the old man finished speaking, a man slowly stood up from the chair.
This is a woman, a very beautiful woman, who looks a bit like Qiu Shuzhen at first glance.
This woman was in her forties, not even fifty. She was wearing a dark blue cheongsam, which accentuated her curvy figure.
The woman held a silver pot in her hand, walked slowly to the old man's bed, stretched out her hand, raised the old man's head slightly, and pointed the spout at the old man's mouth.
When the old man saw the water, his eyes suddenly glowed.
But what the old man never expected was that what flowed out of the silver pot in the woman's hand was not water, but wine.
Wine is still the strongest kind of liquor.
The old man drank too quickly and choked on his trachea, and he suddenly started coughing non-stop.
The old man coughed violently, and his whole body bowed involuntarily, like a shrimp wrapped in gauze.
Due to excessive force, many wounds that had healed on the old man's body burst open again. Large areas of blood seeped out from the wounds, dyeing the white sheets red through the gauze.
The old man was in great pain, but the woman made no move to help him.
She just stood by the bed and watched quietly. Seeing the old man's painful look, a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
After a long time, the old man finally stopped slowly and stopped coughing.
After the old man breathed a long sigh of relief, he turned his head and looked at the woman standing in front of his bed. With great effort, he slowly said: "You...who are you? What...where is this place?" ?”
The woman looked at the old man on the bed, smiled slightly, and said, "My surname is Huo, and I am the seventh among the sisters. You can call me Qiniang, or you can call me Qimei. As for where is this place...?"
Huo Qiniang turned her head and looked out the window, smiled, and said slowly after a while: "As for where this place is? It depends on whether you can guess it, Mr. Xiong."
After saying that, Huo Qiniang stopped looking at the old man named Xiong on the bed, turned around and left.
Only the old man was left helplessly whispering angrily: "You... what do you want to do by arresting me? What... do you want to do? Do you know who I am? Do you want to make enemies of the entire Xiabamen? ?"
The old man's words made Huo Qiniang slowly stop. She turned around slowly, a cold murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
However, that cruel killing intention disappeared in an instant, and the next second, Huo Qiniang returned to her smiling face.
Huo Qiniang said with a smile: "Xiabamen! Hahaha, what a Xiabamen! A group of rabble-rousers got together and really took themselves seriously. Sixty years ago you were lucky enough to beat us once, then what do you think? Do you think you will win this time?"
After hearing Huo Qiniang's words, Mr. Xiong couldn't help but be shocked, and lost his voice: "What? Sixty...sixty years ago...? You...who are you?"
Huo Qiniang smiled and said, "Hey! It looks like you are really old! It has only been more than sixty years, and you don't remember me."
Mr. Xiong was stunned for a long time, and finally blurted out, "You are... you are... that girl..."
Huo Qiniang smiled and said, "It seems you haven't forgotten it yet!"
Mr. Xiong looked at Huo Qiniang in shock, opened his mouth and said, "Impossible! Impossible! How come you haven't changed at all after so many years? And shouldn't you... shouldn't be locked up in that place?"
Huo Qiniang smiled and did not answer Mr. Xiong's words. Instead, she looked out the window and said four words that no one could understand: "Disasters among people are the most mysterious. If you look at the four together, the earth will be affected." Injure the six animals, and beware of thieves in the guest land."
After saying this, Huo Qiniang sighed deeply, and then continued: "I haven't seen rain for a long time, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see real rain again..."
After finishing speaking, Huo Qiniang turned around and walked out of the room, leaving only Mr. Xiong with a look of astonishment.
Then, there was a "crash" sound, and Huo Qiniang locked the door from the outside.
Mr. Xiong was lying alone on the bed, blood flowing out through the gauze, but he didn't care at all. He just repeated the four sentences Huo Qiniang had just said, "The most mysterious disasters among people are the four. If you look at one place multiplied by the four positions, six animals will be harmed by the earth, and thieves will need to beware of thieves if you are a guest. Beware of... disasters are the most mysterious among people. If you look at the four places together, the six animals will be harmed by the earth, and the thieves will be guarded against by the land that is a guest..."
Mr. Xiong repeated these four sentences over and over again, as if he was possessed by a demon. However, at this time, he had already fallen into the deep pool of memories.
What happened sixty years ago?
Who is this woman named Huo Qiniang?
Nobody knows!
Perhaps, at this moment, even Mr. Xiong himself, who personally experienced the incident sixty years ago, does not know what happened.
The rain is still falling.
The ticking dripping on the windows also dripped on people's hearts, taking away the last trace of warmth in people's hearts.
… …
Cold, very cold.
I don’t know how long it took, but I woke up from the cold.
After regaining consciousness, I turned over and sat up from the ground, and found that I was in a humid room.
Water drops fell from the ceiling like raindrops, hitting the ground, hitting my body and face.
Although my clothes are made of waterproof fabric, it is more or less the same as a drowned rat at this time.
The miner's lamp was not on my head, but was placed on the side in a higher position. It acted as a spotlight for a while, illuminating most of the small room.
I sat up straight and looked around, and found three people sitting not far from me.
A man, a woman, and a child lying in the woman's arms.
Fortunately, these three people were none other than Xiong Ming, Hua Muling and Xiao Niya.
Seeing them sitting opposite me, I couldn't help but cheer up and asked loudly: "Why is it you? Are you okay? I said Dali Xiong, how is the poison on your kid? Is it cured? Now? how do you feel?"
