Hu Tian B's face darkened slightly when Hua Muling mentioned this matter. He thought for a while and whispered, "Qiniang came to me to negotiate a deal with us."
Hearing what Hu Tian B said, Xiong Ming and Hua Muling couldn't help being slightly stunned.
Xiong Ming put out the cigarette in his hand, looked at Hu Tianb and said, "Can you please stop being too pretentious? Say what you have to say. What kind of deal does Huo Qiniang want to negotiate with us?"
Hu Tian B lowered his voice and said, "Use one thing in exchange for another person."
Xiong Ming wondered: "Exchange one thing for another person? What thing? Who is the person replaced?"
Hu Tian B turned to look at Xiong Ming, then took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Ming.
Xiong Ming took a look at the photo and found that it showed an old man lying in bed. His whole body was covered with gauze, his hair was gray, and his eyebrows were very similar to Xiong Ming's.
If this man wasn't Xiong Ming's father, who else could he be?
When Xiong Ming saw that the person in the photo was actually his father who had disappeared before, he jumped up from his chair. The wound on his chest that had been sutured began to ooze blood again because of his excessive movement.
But Xiong Ming didn't care at all. He pointed at the photo and said, "Is this the person Qiniang wants to exchange with us?"
Hu Tian B nodded slightly and said, "That's right!"
Xiong Ming said loudly: "How come our old man is in their hands?"
Hu Tian B shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I asked Huo Qiniang twice, but she refused to tell me. She just kept asking me if I was willing to do this deal."
Xiong Ming was a little anxious and said loudly: "What did you say?"
Hu Tian B said: "What else can I say, of course I am willing. But..."
Xiong Ming didn't wait for Hu Tian B to finish speaking, and then asked: "Just what? When did you make trouble? Why are you always willing to say half a sentence?"
Hu Tian B said: "It's just that that place is more dangerous. I don't know if we can come back alive."
Xiong Ming rushed to say: "Grandma! We have strong winds and waves, and the boat can capsize in the ditch. Besides, I don't care about you. In order to save our old man, I am willing to go anywhere."
After Xiong Ming finished speaking, he turned to look at Hua Muling on the side and asked loudly: "How is it, fourth girl? Are you willing to go?"
Hua Muling did not speak, but lowered her head and thought for a while, looked at Hu Tian B and said, "Where is the place you mentioned? What is the thing you want to pick up?"
…
The wind blew through the cracks in the rocks with a hint of coolness, blowing on people's faces, making people feel goosebumps.
Fortunately, a few people wore enough clothes when they set off, otherwise their body temperature would have been eroded by the coldness in less than twenty minutes.
This is a natural cave behind Wanfu Tower. Hu Tianb walked at the front, and several people walked along the only path for a long time.
In about 20 minutes, several people walked through the long and narrow path and walked to a river bank.
The water in the river is very shallow, probably only reaching around the ankles, and the flow rate is not fast. It is a trickle that is no faster than a urine bubble.
No need to guess, this is probably a branch of Naihe that is too small to be considered small.
There is a big tree surrounded by four people beside the river bank. The upper part of the tree has grown out of the ground and cannot be seen here.
Only part of the trunk can be seen here, and there are some roots stuck into the rocks on the river bank.
This big tree is very strange. From a distance, it looks like two people hugging each other.
In the center of the trunk, four or five light blue flowers grew diagonally.
The flowers are big, like a basin. They open and close with the wind as if they are breathing, and they seem to be waving to people passing by.
The wind blew slowly, blowing a strange fragrance into everyone's nostrils.
Xiong Ming sniffed, pointed at the blue flower on the tree, frowned and said, "What kind of flower is that? My dear, why does it smell so good?"
Hua Muling shook her head and said, "I don't know. But..."
Before Hua Muling finished speaking, suddenly, the scenery in front of her began to sway.
Hua Muling panicked and stopped suddenly, shouting in her heart: "No! There's something wrong with that fragrance."
Hua Muling wanted to remind everyone, but before she could say anything, Hu Tian B, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and looked at them with a strange expression.
Hu Tian B had a knife in his hand at some point. He turned his wrist and swiped the knife towards Hua Muling's neck.
Hua Muling was shocked and hurriedly hid behind her.
But because everything Hua Muling saw was blurry at this time, although she dodged the knife, she couldn't stand firm on her feet, and she fell heavily to the ground with a "thump".
Xiong Ming also realized that there was something wrong with the aroma at this time, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
Xiong Ming shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, but no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail. Everything in front of him was like a mirror, looming.
Xiong Ming was anxious, raised his arms and slapped himself twice hard.
The pain made Xiong Ming temporarily sober. He looked at Hu Tian B and said loudly: "Hu Tian, what are you going to do? Are you crazy? Are you going to kill the fourth girl?"
Hu Tian B ignored Xiong Ming, but took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured a small light green pill from it, and threw it into his mouth.
After swallowing the small pill, Hu Tian B looked up at Xiong Ming and said with a strange smile: "Crazy? How is that possible? I have never been so sober."
Xiong Ming said loudly: "Are you so fucking awake and still wielding a knife against your own people?"
Hu Tian B smiled strangely: "You asked me before, but I didn't answer. Qiniang, what is it you want to get? To tell you the truth..."
Hu Tian B paused deliberately when he said this. He fiddled with the knife in his hand, his expression was like a hunter looking at his prey, with a hint of teasing and excitement in his eyes.
After a while, Hu Tian B smiled strangely and said, "To tell you the truth, what Qiniang wants is nothing else but your two lives."
Hu Tian B turned his head to Xiao Niya and said with a smile: "As for you..."
Hu Tian B's devil-like eyes made Xiao Niya shake involuntarily, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and from time to time, one or two words came out of her mouth that were incomprehensible.
Hu Tian B didn't pay attention to what Xiao Niya said, he just looked at her weird smile, and after a long time, he said word by word: "As for you... don't worry, you are still useful to me, so, I won’t take your life just yet.”
After saying this, Hu Tian B turned his head and looked at Hua Muling and Xiong Ming and said, "Tell me! Which of you two wants to die first? Is it your decision? Or should I arrange it?"
Xiong Ming shouted loudly: "Hu Tian, are you really crazy?"
Hu Tian B frowned slightly and said, "Hey! You are really noisy! In this case, I will send you on your way first!"
As he spoke, Hu Tian B turned his wrist, and the knife made a beautiful knife flower in his hand.
Then, Hu Tian B moved his wrist forward, and the knife plunged straight into Xiong Ming's chest.
Xiong Ming was shocked and hurriedly dodged sideways, but unfortunately, Xiong Ming's movements were slow at this time. Although Hu Tian B's blow failed to hit his vitals, it also made a big gash on his chest.
Blood spurted out almost instantly, and the clothes on his chest suddenly turned dark red.
Xiong Ming was in pain and retreated.
But Hu Tian B obviously didn't intend to give Xiong Ming a chance to breathe. After the successful blow, he turned his wrist one after another, aiming at Xiong Ming's throat, shoulders, and abdomen, and struck three blows in succession.
Xiong Ming gritted his teeth and managed to dodge the first two blows, but at this moment he couldn't dodge the last one, the knife that stabbed his abdomen.
Seeing this, Xiong Ming immediately closed his eyes and secretly shouted in his heart, "I have confessed here today!"
In this flash of lightning, something suddenly flew out of the darkness and hit Hu Tian B's body without any bias.
This sudden change shocked Hu Tian B. The knife in his hand lost its accuracy in an instant, and the blade struck Xiong Ming's belly.
Although Xiong Ming was overjoyed to have survived the catastrophe, his legs softened and he sat on the ground with a thump.
Hu Tian B missed the target and immediately became furious and shouted: "Grandma, who ruined my good deeds?"
Hu Tian B shouted three times in a row, but no one answered.
In desperation, Hu Tian B turned his head and looked at the ground, and found that the thing that just hit him was actually a human head.
I saw that man's head staring with eyes like a cow, with a look of horror on his face. If it wasn't the eldest young master of the Li family who was so high and mighty before, who could it be?
Who would have thought that the once famous young master of the Li family would end up like this.
Perhaps, even in his dreams, he would never have thought that he would die in such a dark and humid underground; and he would never have thought that his head would be thrown around like a ball.
Hu Tian B looked at the head of the eldest young master of the Li family on the ground, feeling extremely angry. He muttered a curse, then raised his foot and kicked the head of the eldest young master of the Li family far away.
But what Hu Tian B didn't expect at all was that when he turned around, Xiong Ming, Hua Muling, and Xiao Niya who were lying on the ground had disappeared.
… …
After saying this, Xiong Ming took a deep breath and murmured after a while: "This is what happened... You girl, now you know what all this is about!"
I looked at Xiong Ming, then turned to look at Hua Muling, and asked, "But, how did you get here?"
Just as Xiong Ming was about to speak, Hua Muling suddenly said, "We don't know either."
I asked in surprise: "You don't know either? How can you say this?"
Hua Muling said: "A few of us fainted at the time. Now that we think about it, it was probably those weird blue flowers that were to blame. And when we woke up, the three of us were already in this underground ancient castle. , and then, we saw you..."
Hua Muling paused after saying this, and her eyes scanned behind me for a long time.
Surprised, I turned around and looked behind me, but there was nothing there, just darkness.
I turned back and asked, "Fourth girl, what are you looking at?"
Hua Muling frowned and said, "It seems like someone ran over somewhere."
