In the middle of the night, thick clouds gathered in the sky and it rained heavily. At first it was raindrops as big as beans, then they turned into graupel and then into snow. It was freezing overnight, and the cold wind whistled at the entrance of the cave like someone crying.
When the sky was slightly light, Li Bochen walked out of the stone room and saw Sui Zi'ang leaning against the stone stove, unconscious from the cold. He hurriedly squatted down and checked his breathing. Fortunately, he was still alive. He had deceived Ye Chengchou all night, coaxing him into telling him several ways to deal with Xu Cheng, the leader of the Zhangcheng Conference, and refining the Yin soldiers according to the plan. Unknowingly, he had forgotten about Shi Daoli.
It would be troublesome if it really froze to death.
He went outside the cave to chop some firewood, lit the fire again with the embers in the stove, and asked Sui Zi'ang to roast it for a while. I touched his forehead again and it was no longer hot. The body tempered by the Qi-nourishing realm is indeed different from ordinary people. This injury that could kill ordinary people was actually carried away like this.
He ate some snow and smoked horse meat, washed his face, and patted Sui Ziang awake. I don't know if it was because of the calamity of life and death he experienced last night. Although Sui Zi'ang's face was still full of resentment and resentment and he didn't say a word, he did not refuse food. After eating a full kilogram of snow, he burped, stared at Li Bochen for a while, and said, "You must kill me, right?"
Li Bochen was silent for a while and then said: "If there are no accidents, yes."
Sui Ziang smiled coldly: "What accident?"
"For example, you suddenly realize your conscience, repent, and never do any bad things again. But I think this is unlikely."
Sui Ziang smiled again, not knowing what he was thinking. But today he seems to be a completely different person than he was a few days ago, and Li Boxen can understand. When a person is pampered, his appearance is fierce and his heart is weak, but if he has experienced life and death without being completely defeated, he will indeed undergo such a transformation.
"Li Bochen, there's something I don't understand. Why do you have to meddle in other people's business and cause trouble?"
Li Boxen thought for a while: "You mean, why don't I abandon you and leave Zhangshan now instead of saving people and taking your life?"
He glanced outside the cave and saw that the sky was not yet fully bright, so he sat down by the stove and said, "Do you know how many people have died in my hands?"
Sui Ziang sneered: "What, you think I'm afraid? I'm like this now, there's nothing to be afraid of. You are really a bloody massacre, so what?"
Li Bochen shook his head: "As of today, I have only taken the lives of seven people in total. Three of them were when I was in Wuliang City. Two people wanted to be deserters and ran to Lotus Mountain in the middle of the night and were discovered by their ten generals. The two men killed him. After catching them, I personally beheaded them. This was done in accordance with military law."
"The other one is also in Wuliang City, on Beiyuan. One of my soldiers was disemboweled by a monster, but he couldn't die for a while. He begged me to give him a good time, so I did it."
"The other one was in Li's house. I fell into the trap and killed him by mistake."
"There are three more, two of them want to kill me, I protect myself. The other one is Ye Chengchou, I also want to protect myself."
"I don't like killing, let alone indiscriminate killing." Li Bochen looked at Sui Ziang and said, "There's one thing I don't understand either. You brought a Jiao man to Zhangshan Mountain yesterday and took her life, and then you want to take mine. Life, but now you feel that I want to kill you because I am nosy - why? Because your surname is Sui? I already said it when we were in Congyunxuan, you look at other people like insects on the ground, maybe in the eyes of others, The same to you."
Sui Ziang was stunned for a long time, sneered, and moved his mouth, but didn't say anything. After a while, he said: "It's ridiculous."
Li Bochen nodded, loosened the rope for him and asked him to move his body a little, then tied him up so that he could not move like last night, walked out of the cave and jumped off the stone platform.
The snow was falling more and more heavily, but there was no wind. He wondered if the vision was caused by Zhang Shanjun's death. Looking towards the main peak of Zhangshan Mountain again, I found that the peak had disappeared.
He came out today with the intention of lying in ambush on the road into the mountain to see if the people from the government office would reply. But after staring at the disappeared main peak for a while, he turned around and walked over there first. He couldn't explain why, but he thought he wanted to see what the place looked like now, how powerful the thunder punishment was, and he also wanted to pay homage to Zhang Shanjun.
When he got near the main peak, he realized that this place was more tragic than he thought. The top of the mountain was gone, and the nearby trees fell outward in pieces. The ground seemed to have been swept, making it smooth and smooth. The ground and fallen trees were covered with snow. When he pushed aside the snow, he found that the trees had turned into black coal.
The original mountain peak has now become a large lake. Although it is much colder than usual today and there is still snow falling, the water mist on the lake is transpiring, evaporating all the snow along the coast. The lake water had no place to go, so it flowed out of the mountain, and actually divided into many high and low waterfalls.
In a few years, this place will become a wonder in Zhang City, but no one will remember what happened.
He walked forward for a while, and his vision was not as clear as when he was further away. The mist in the big lake became thicker as we got closer. Gradually, we couldn't see clearly even a dozen steps away, and our feet were covered with wet soil, almost covering our boots. It would be troublesome to be ambushed in a place like this, so he sighed and planned to leave.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of water.
He immediately squatted down against a charcoal tree and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
He was now twenty steps away from the lake. Because the main peak had been blasted into a valley, he was a little condescending. Judging from the sound, it must have been more than twenty steps away, but it couldn't be seen clearly through the fog. Suspecting that he was someone sent by the Fu Zhi Yamen, he pulled out Yao Hou, lowered himself down, and walked slowly towards the lake.
After walking three or four steps, I heard the sound of water again. It didn't sound like there was something in the water, but like someone hitting the water. The sound was quite loud, not like fish. Looking again at this time, I finally saw a hazy human figure in the mist, as if taking a bath. Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, wondering who would come here to take a bath at this time? Could it be the person who delivered the letter?
Just when he thought of this, the man in the water suddenly jumped up and jumped to the shore. Li Boxen's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to raise his knife when he suddenly saw the man's appearance clearly——
It's Li Qiuhu.
She was a Rakshasa, and her clothes were thin. I also wore a smart outfit today, but it was soaked by the water and my curves were exposed. He was stunned for a moment, wondering in his mind, was she taking a bath here? I just wanted to turn around subconsciously. But another thought came to my mind - who would take a shower with clothes on? What is she doing here again?
Li Qiuhu seemed to be shocked when he saw him. But he calmed down before him, and he smiled after a moment of confusion: "Oh, brother said you are a hero, but do you also do things like peeking at other people's baths?"
