Li Bochen's face heated up, and he immediately realized it was a joke. This witch is actually joking and seems to be in a good mood. His heart lit up and he said, "Have you finished what you did in Zhangcheng?"
Li Qiuhu smiled, not knowing what he was laughing at. Then he tilted his head and twisted his hair while looking at him as if no one else was watching: "Thanks to you, it's done. There was a sudden thunder light in Zhangshan Mountain last night, and people in the city came here to look for Sui Zi'ang, so we've done it. Oh. , Don’t worry, I didn’t hurt anyone.”
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't know what Li Qiuhu was doing here. Are you here to find yourself? See if anything happened to you in Zhangshan? It doesn't look like either. While she was hesitating, she suddenly saw a flash of scales in the water behind her, which actually looked like the dragon body that the female mermaid had transformed into yesterday. Then a large bubble popped up in the water, and a shiny section suddenly popped out.
It was obviously the reflection of iron, but Li Qiuhu didn't seem to notice it. Li Bochen was shocked and immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
Fei Shen pounced on him. He originally thought there was some kind of assassin lurking in the water. Since the weapon appeared first, it must have launched a desperate attack. He saw that the direction was facing Li Qiuhu, secretly thinking that it might be the pursuers from Zhangcheng.
But after drinking like this and rushing out with a knife, Li Qiuhu still didn't react. Li Bochen felt something was wrong, but the person in the water had jumped out - it was a dragon man with a three-pronged iron crown on his head and a dragon tail. The weapon he thought just now was the iron fork on the top of the dragon man's head.
The dragon man was also surprised when he saw him coming. He had a three-pronged steel prong in his hand. He straightened up and immediately came to stab Li Bochen in the heart. Li Bochen had never fought with a dragon, but he had certainly seen fish. A medium-sized fish exerts all its strength, and ordinary people may not be able to hold it. With such a long tail rolled up behind the dragon man, it must be extremely powerful. He has no weapons at his disposal, so he knows that fighting head-on is not an option. , and immediately dodged to the side.
A second dragon man jumped out of the water, also holding a steel fork, and stabbed his left shoulder again. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and reach out to grab one of the steel forks. He was able to grasp it quickly due to his poor eyesight, but the Jiao Man was incredibly strong, and his left arm was injured just yesterday. He only stopped his movement when he felt his arm heat up, and suddenly lost all strength.
Fortunately, I had borrowed my strength at this time and simply pulled back the steel fork. The three forks suddenly penetrated into the mud near the lake, and almost half of them were inserted.
Only then did Li Qiuhu say: "Hai Qing Hai Hong, he is one of our own."
The two dragon men said "Hey" together and stopped immediately. Li Bochen also stood down, feeling that his left arm was shaking badly. Li Qiuhu still smiled and said: "Ha, you are very strong. It seems that Hai Qinghai Hong is stronger than you."
It turned out that she didn't speak on purpose just now.
The two dragon men both wore iron crowns on their heads and were naked from the waist up. They looked very similar, resembling human twins. After hearing what Li Qiuhu said, the man who appeared earlier said, "Miss, is he the Li Bochen that Mr. Li mentioned?"
Another said: "Gong Li said he has supernatural powers, but I think he is not as good as me. I almost stabbed him through."
Li Qiuhu was still smiling and was about to speak when another person emerged from the lake and said, "Hu'er, Hai Qing Hai Hong, stop making trouble."
Li Boxen took a look and saw that it was Li Ding. He was wearing a shark skin suit and his head was wrapped, leaving only his face exposed, which looked quite funny. Two dragon men supported him. Li Ding wiped the water from his face and walked ashore. He cupped his hands to Li Bochen and said, "General Li, I didn't expect you to be still alive."
Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, then looked into the lake again before saying, "...Mr. Li? What are you doing in the lake?"
But the next moment he suddenly realized what was probably going on. When I went to Tao's house that day, I first heard a "dong" sound in the courtyard, as if something had fallen into the well. Sui Ziang said yesterday that the reason why there is a warm water waterfall on this mountain is because there is a warm current at the foot of the mountain that leads directly to the city.
Is the well in Li's house connected to the warm water underground? Was it the Jiao Man in the well that day? He found it unbelievable and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, did you sneak into the warm water from that well and come out here?"
Li Ding was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "General Li is indeed both wise and brave, that's right. But it is absolutely impossible for someone to swim all the way out of the warm water for nearly an hour. But with Hai Qing Hai Hong, it will be faster There are more. There are also cavities in the underground warm water channels. Just hold your breath for more than ten minutes and take a few more breaths, and it will be fine."
It turns out that they had already arranged their escape route... No wonder they were in no rush to leave Zhangcheng that day. Li Bochen smiled in his heart and said that he was a bit pretentious - it was just a chance encounter. Li Ding and others were not here specifically to see how he was doing.
At this time, Li Ding glanced at his left arm and frowned: "Your hand."
Li Boxen looked down and saw blood forming a line, flowing from his fingertips to the ground. He thought his hand was stained with lake water on the steel fork, so he reached out and tapped the acupuncture point on his left shoulder.
Li Qiuhu also groaned: "So you're injured. Well, it's my fault. I shouldn't tease you."
She reached out and touched her arms and took out a vial: "Come on."
She wants to give herself medicine to heal her injuries? It's really informal. But Li Boxen only smiled: "No need."
I can have some friendship with people like Li Ding, but it's just that we each get what we need, and we are not the same person. Healing something like this...he didn't think it was appropriate.
But Li Ding smiled: "Your injury must be because of what happened yesterday. I think the injury is quite serious. If it is not handled well, it will inevitably leave consequences. This is the secret medicine I prepared myself, and it has miraculous effects - it was a pretext that everything happened last night." Your light, don’t be polite.”
When it came to this point, Li Boxen thought about it and said: "Okay."
His left arm was originally wrapped in Ye Chengchou's clothing material, but after the blood soaked through and dried, it turned into a hard shell. But the wound that had just collapsed has softened again. He used Yao Hou to slowly open the bandage, tearing it off layer by layer, and saw four hideous wounds.
Yesterday the bones were still visible, but today they are mostly healed. But even so, it still looked numb, and even he couldn't help but take a breath inwardly.
The expressions of the four people changed when they saw the injury. The dragon man who had just been caught by him stood in the water and shouted: "My dear, how come you are not dead after being injured like this?"
Then he said: "Ah, you just used this arm to catch my fork... Well, I am indeed not as strong as you. I didn't expect that there is someone as strong as you among people."
Li Ding frowned and said, "Hai Hong!"
Then he looked at Li Boxen's arms: "I watched these two grow up. They just developed reverse scales and speak freely. Don't be offended by General Li."
Jiao people usually live up to 200 years old, and they do not reach adulthood until they are about thirty years old. Judging from the age of people in this world, he is only sixteen years old. No wonder he speaks in this tone. However, Li Bochen felt that Hai Hong's temper was quite to his liking, so he smiled and said, "It won't be a problem."
Li Qiuhu didn't say anything at this time. He took off the wax seal on the bottle and pulled out the stopper. He applied a little green plaster with his fingers and applied it to the wound. Each of his wounds is as wide as a finger, like a snake, and I am afraid that even if the entire bottle is used up, it won't be able to cover even one wound.
But after applying this little bit to the wound, Li Boxen immediately felt a sense of coolness, and the pain in his arm also subsided. Then it felt like it was being wrapped tightly by a bandage, and I just felt that the wound was shrinking on its own. When he took a look, he realized that it was not an illusion—the wound was actually slowly closing up.
Li Qiuhu ordered the other three dishes, then corked the bottle again, and said: "Order again in a while. Did you kill Mr. Zhangshan?"
She stopped laughing now and spoke in a calm tone. But his eyes kept glancing back and forth at the wound, not knowing what he was thinking. Li Bochen told everything he could about what happened yesterday.
What happened yesterday was thrilling, but he felt there was no need to show off in front of these people, so he explained it clearly in just a few words. Even so, the two Jiao people were still amazed when they heard it, and Li Ding and Li Qiuhu seemed to be in a daze.
Seeing them like this, Li Bochen couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart - Li Ding didn't expect that he could really kill Ye Chengchou. That's probably why I'm so polite to myself today.
After he finished speaking, Li Ding said softly: "General Li is really amazing... This Zhangshanjun is really an infatuated woman. She only sighs when she meets someone unkind. However, what are the general's plans for the future? He should leave the Sui Dynasty. You’re in the country, do you have somewhere to go?”
The last person to ask him this question was Tao Wenbao. Li Bochen didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he said: "I can't leave for now, I have to go back to Zhangcheng."
Li Ding was stunned: "Go back to Zhangcheng?"
At this time, Li Qiuhu removed the stopper and gave him some medicine. Li Bochen said: "Ye Yinghong and the Tao family are in the hands of Kongminghui. I have to rescue them."
After he said this, Li Ding and Li Qiuhu looked at each other, seemingly even more surprised than they were after hearing what happened on the mountain yesterday. Li Bochen knew that Li Ding was probably going to say something like "General Li is brave" and "Going here is no different than taking death", so he added: "Mr. Li, there is no need to persuade me. These people are alive because of me." I have no reason to be alone in my worries."
Li Ding pondered for a while and said with a wry smile: "Oh, it seems I did something wrong."
Li Boxen said: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
"That day on Wujing Mountain, there should not have been any discord between the general and me."
After hearing what he said, Li Boxen was a little surprised. He should have said that because of the Wu Jing Mountain incident, there was a grudge between them, and it was no longer possible to be honest and trustworthy, and it was difficult to be friends or companions. If you say this because you value yourself, it is indeed a high praise. However, these words are more or less intimate... Since the last time they met, Li Ding's attitude towards him has always been very good, and he seems to be trying to win over him. It stands to reason that when they work with Lord Linxi, there are many talented people around them, and there is no shortage of talents like themselves. But he had no intention of getting involved with Li Ding, so he just smiled.
Li Qiuhu applied medicine to him for the second time and put away the medicine bottle. Li Ding thought for a while and said, "General, wait a moment."
Then he turned around, walked a dozen steps, and disappeared into the mist. Li Bochen didn't know what he was going to do, but Li Qiuhu stared at him and said, "So your lover is not Ye Yinghong, but Tao Chunxi?"
In fact, after what Ye Chengchou said last night, Li Bochen looked away from his relationship with Tao Chunxi and smiled: "No."
Li Qiuhu stopped talking, frowned and went to twist her hair again. The two dragon men also stood in the water and looked at him. Hai Hong said: "I said, are you really not afraid of death? Even Li Gong doesn't dare to stay in the city!"
If Li Ding asked him this, he would just smile. But his impression of Hai Hong was not bad, and he had just received someone else's medicine. He couldn't just throw away and leave, and he didn't know what Li Ding was going to do or when he would come back. Li Bochen thought about it and said, "Actually, with Chu Hai Somewhat similar.”
Jiaoren was stunned for a moment: "Going to sea?"
"Yes. Going to sea. People who have never seen the sea must be very scared when they go to sea for the first time, thinking that they will die due to strong winds and waves. But after a few times or a few years, I have seen all kinds of wind and waves. Although I still know that there is danger, I still know that there is danger. I’m not that afraid anymore. Things like life and death are similar. I’ve experienced more. Although I’m not afraid of death, I won’t be afraid of it either.”
Hai Hong thought for a while and frowned. Hai Qing, who had been silent for the whole time, paused with a steel fork in the water: "Oh, I understand. But there is one thing I don't understand - not being afraid of death is one thing, but I heard what you just said, you and those people Our friendship with them is not very deep, so if we really lose our lives for them and can’t save them, is it worth it?”
Li Bochen smiled: "This is somewhat similar to writing a book."
Hai Qing asked: "What book?"
"It's just writing a book. Some people write a book and hope to write every section and chapter without leaving any regrets. If a section is skipped hastily because of something, I always feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Comfortable. I think this is almost the same in people's lives. Doing or not doing certain things will leave people with regrets and guilt. When you think about it later, you will always feel that this life is not satisfactory."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to do everything with a clear conscience - naturally, you won't seek death in vain - but even if you really die while doing things, when you think about your life, you will feel that you are impeccable. Although it is short, it is very complete. Otherwise... the grass and trees will do nothing for a lifetime. What is the difference between humans and grass and trees?"
Hai Qing thought for a while: "I didn't understand the first thing, but I did understand the second part. When I was a child, I used clam beads to wear necklaces, and I used black beads. But those things are hard to find. I wear one when I find one. I don't like to use them. Beads of other colors are sandwiched inside. As a result, I have only worn nine of them so far - I can't find good ones, so I would rather wait. Haihong has worn many beads in a mixed manner, but she still envies me this one. "
Li Bochen smiled and said: "Yes, that's almost the truth."
Hai Qing sighed: "You are such an interesting person. It makes me want to go rescue people with you. But Mr. Li will definitely not allow it."
Li Qiuhu snorted, as if he wanted to say something. But then Li Ding walked back through the fog with a knife in his hand.
