"Poof!"
Xue Liangliang jumped like a fish into the water and jumped into the lake.
The position of entering the water is not the most standard, but it is the most suitable for him.
His legs swung continuously, and his figure immediately dived into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
No matter how complex the environment at the bottom of the lake is, it is not as dangerous as the undercurrents deep in the mouth of the Yangtze River; no matter how many dead bodies there are, they are not as eerie and treacherous as the Bai family ladies sitting at the door in Baijia Town.
This is professionalism.
Li Chaiyuan lay on the shore, looking at the starry night sky overhead.
In the young man's heart, it was not very relaxed.
Because of this crisis, almost everyone including himself, Xue Liangliang, who was not even a supernumerary, participated in the final finishing work.
In the previous waves, no one was seriously injured, but they had never been so neatly injured.
Lin Shuyou used the Demon Breaking Talisman Needle, Yin Meng's body was highly poisonous, Tan Wenbin used the ghost control technique, the moisturizing qi door was fully opened, and he lost too much blood.
It's like a wet towel, twisted hard to squeeze out the last drop of water inside, and with just a little more force, the towel will break.
Perhaps for other riverwalkers, solving the crisis by dying nine times and not a single person in the team actually died is a rare "gift".
But for Li Zhuiyuan, this kind of "goodness" under this crushing victory can be called the worst result since he left the river.
In the night sky, a bird is circling alone.
Li Chaiyuan stared at it for a long time.
He has been suspecting that the intensity of this wave is a bit too large, and it can even be said that it is a little excessive.
Now, he has further strengthened his opinion.
But if you change the perspective,
maybe
It was not this wave that exceeded the standard, but himself and his team.
Lin Shuyou, Yin Meng, Tan Wenbin and Runsheng were brought out one by one.
Xue Liangliang not only didn't look very tired, but after saving people, he also washed the mud on his body by the lake.
This endurance, this long-lasting, is indeed cultivated over a long period of time.
Everyone was moved onto the tractor by Xue Liangliang, and Li Chaiyuan was placed in the driver's seat.
"Xiaoyuan, you sit by me."
"Okay."
Xue Liangliang drove a tractor, carrying the wounded with all his weight, back to the village.
When it was just dawn, we arrived at the village.
As soon as he came to the outskirts of the Tulou after entering the village, Li Chaiyuan found that the formation he had arranged when he left had been artificially destroyed.
"Brother Liangliang, there are outsiders in the family."
Xue Liangliang was about to turn off the fire, and when he heard this, he not only immediately withdrew his hand, but also planned to drive directly through the Tulou and leave.
Li Chaiyuan: "They have already discovered us."
The boy raised his head, and the bird above his head followed the hovering until now.
This wave may not be over yet, because the real crisis has appeared again.
Sometimes, people are more dangerous than evil spirits.
But running away is meaningless.
On the mountain road, the tractor must not run as fast as a bird.
Moreover, excessive actions will force the other party to adopt extreme methods.
Xue Liangliang: "Then what should we do?"
"Let's see how it is." Li Zhuyuan turned his head to look at Xue Liangliang, "Zhuge Liang's empty city plan."
"Xiaoyuan, don't worry, I will cooperate with you well."
"Brother Liangliang."
"Huh?"
"I cooperate with you."
"Hmm...... Huh?"
"Don't be afraid, the other party is also afraid of us."
When the old woman died completely, there must have been a change in feng shui meteorology over the lake, so she sent a bird out to investigate, which shows her caution.
The formation he arranged to trap Cui Hao and Li Ren from running around was very simple and low-level, but the other party still chose to forcibly break it, which was also a sign of caution.
Because the other party can completely resolve it skillfully, and then try to keep the formation as it is as much as possible, trying not to let himself be noticed.
But the other party did not do this, completely breaking the formation, also for fear of causing misunderstandings in himself, which was considered a magnanimous move.
"Xiaoyuan, I want to ......"
"Pretend to be a master."
"How tall?"
"Brother Liangliang, you try your best."
"What if it is broken?"
"It doesn't matter, just die together."
Xue Liangliang turned off the tractor, sat in the driver's seat, and kept taking deep breaths.
I thought I was just a "guide", and I was already very involved in the finishing work, but I didn't expect that after the matter reached the later stage, I would still have such an important role.
"Xiaoyuan, I'm ready."
"Hmm."
Li Chaiyuan is very confident in Xue Liangliang.
In the same scene, Tan Wenbin can also pretend, and he will pretend better, but his ingenuity will be very heavy.
Xue Liangliang is different, he himself has that unique temperament.
Not only on the road of work, he was loved and promoted by the leaders, but also recognized by the Bai family in life.
Even Li Chaiyuan, every time he was involved in Xue Liangliang's affairs, he would willingly help run errands, and even help them mediate marital conflicts.
Xue Liangliang picked up Li Zhuiyuan and pushed open the door.
In the courtyard, there was a pair of men and women wearing Miao clothes.
Li Chaiyuan saw the totem pattern between the other party's cuffs at a glance.
The Miao Fang inheritance is ancient, and the Miao Gu inheritance is also divided into many factions, most of the factions just look a little scary in their methods, but they are all relatively peaceful, it is inevitable that there will be extreme factions.
The patterns of these two people's clothes indicated that they were the famous corpse Gu sect in Miao Territory.
Although they used the unique spices in the mountains to cover up the smell of corpses on their bodies, this fragrance was also recorded by Wei Zhengdao in "Jianghu Chronicles of Monsters", which can be regarded as a stereotypical characteristic under concealment.
Wei Zhengdao also introduced the techniques of the Miao Jiang Corpse Gu Sect in detail in the book, and after using a large list of negative adjectives to criticize, he finally said: It's very interesting.
In the Central Plains, these two people are authentic cultivators.
Even if it was placed in Miao Jiang, if the people in the village practiced their Gu techniques or had interactions with them, the nearby Miao villages would unite and attack them in groups.
On the edge of the roof, there was a young woman in a floral dress, her feet dangling underneath, wearing underwear, and she would not be exposed.
Next to the woman, there were several birds flying around her, very close to her.
At the staircase on the second floor, there was a middle-aged strong man with his arms crossed, leaning on a pillar.
The strong man's pores are enlarged, his muscles are strong, and the muscles of the whole body are pulled during breathing.
The two corpse Gu sects downstairs were obviously not the same group as those upstairs, although they were in the same earthen building, they were carrying out equal vigilance.
At this time, a door on the second floor was pushed open, and an old man came out, holding a pipe in his hand, his face full of red light.
As if hearing the sound of the Tulou gate being pushed open, he came out to check the situation, and with just one glance, the old man's face immediately changed drastically.
The old man recognized Li Chaiyuan, and Li Zhuiyuan also recognized him.
Old man Tian.
Since he is here, it means that Zhao Yi is here.
"Master, young master!"
Old man Tian didn't care about smoking, so he immediately turned around and walked into the house.
Li Chaiyuan knew that he was acting.
That bird was released by the girl on the roof, and that girl should be Zhao Yi's subordinate.
So, they have long known that they are here.
Next, Zhao Yi will be invited to perform.
Zhao Yi came out.
His mood changes are complex and gradual.
But Li Chaiyuan is a natural performing artist, and he just commented on his performance at the age of eight, so Zhao Yi's acting skills are a bit exaggerated.
"Brother Yuan."
Zhao Yi hurriedly went downstairs.
The two corpse Gu sect personnel sitting in the courtyard suddenly became a little solemn.
In their opinion, although they have few people, they can be regarded as evenly matched, but the other party suddenly comes with foreign aid, and the situation is difficult to control.
Zhao Yi came to Li Chaiyuan.
Li Chaiyuan gently patted Xue Liangliang's shoulder.
Xue Liangliang turned to Zhao Yi and shook the boy on his back, this was to hand over the wounded.
Zhao Yi naturally stretched out his hand and picked up Li Chaiyuan on his back.
"Are you injured?"
"Well, I lost too much blood and lost my strength."
"I have the best medicine to replenish qi and blood here."
"Give me food."
"Let's go."
Zhao Yi carried Li Chaiyuan to the second floor, and on the way upstairs, he deliberately glanced back at Xue Liangliang standing at the door downstairs.
There was a room that had been cleaned separately, and there were two mattresses inside, one should belong to Zhao Yi and the other to Old Man Tian.
Zhao Yi placed the boy on his mattress.
Old man Tian came over and asked with great concern: "Are you okay?"
Li Zhuiyuan asked rhetorically: "Do you think I'm okay now?"
Old man Tian showed a pale face.
Zhao Yi pushed Old Man Tian away and said to him: "Go get our Qi Recovery Pill."
"Hey, good young master."
Old man Tian took out a jade bottle from his bag and delivered it over.
Zhao Yi opened the cork and poured a pill out of it.
As soon as this pill came out, it immediately emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
Zhao Yi handed the pill to the young man's mouth, and the young man opened his mouth.
"No." Zhao Yi put away the pill and handed it to Old Man Tian, "My brother Yuan is too weak now, and the medicinal properties of this medicine are too great, and it is easy to be weak and not replenished.
"Okay, young master."
Old man Tian took the pill and left the room.
Just below, Xue Liangliang pointed to Xu Ming, a strong man standing on the second floor: "Hey, what are you doing standing stupidly, come down and help me carry the wounded up.
Xu Ming frowned, as if he didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeing Old Man Tian come out, Xu Ming looked over at him with inquiring eyes.
Old man Tian nodded to him.
Xu Ming walked down and moved the four seriously injured people who were all in a coma from the tractor to another bedroom on the second floor.
Xue Liangliang walked to the side of Old Man Tian who was decocting medicine on the second floor and patted him on the shoulder: "Old man, do you understand medical skills?"
Old man Tian smiled a little awkwardly and said, "I'm just dissolving the pill."
"Humble."
"It's really immodest, my medical skills are very shallow."
"Then you can help me take care of all four of them, no matter how shallow you are, you will still be a little better, I don't understand at all, saving people is not my strength."
"Of course, we are all old acquaintances and have a relationship, so we will do this without your instructions."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
After throwing everyone on the second floor, Xue Liangliang walked downstairs alone.
Old man Tian looked at Xue Liangliang's back, his eyes showing contemplation.
The rest of the people, they had all seen them at the stone table Zhao's house at the beginning, but the one in front of them was the first time they had seen each other.
He seems to be on the other team, but judging by his performance, he doesn't look like it.
At the same time, the inexplicable sense of affinity that arises when contacting the other party makes him feel flustered.
Xue Liangliang walked up to the two corpse Gu sect disciples, sat down very casually, and stretched out his hand to open the pot in front of them, which was cooking meat porridge.
"I'm hungry."
The two Corpse Gu Sect disciples just looked at him and did not say a word.
"Can you share a bowl of hot porridge with me, after soaking in water for so long, I want to eat something hot."
The two looked at each other.
This is the first time someone has dared to come and eat their food.
If you want to say that he is a layman and doesn't understand anything, that's understandable, but if this person and the people on the second floor obviously know each other, they can't be outsiders.
Moreover, Zhao Yi's group had already made them very afraid, but just now, he directly commanded Zhao Yi's group.
As for the group of unconscious and wounded who were brought in earlier...... He should have saved it alone.
"You can eat it."
"Thank you."
Xue Liangliang served himself a large bowl.
"Well, do you have chopsticks?"
The woman took out a pair of chopsticks from her cuffs, the chopsticks were gray, and looked at Xue Liangliang with a smile.
Xue Liangliang reached out to take it without hesitation, stirred the meat porridge in the bowl, and ate it directly.
Regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, he has no choice.
However, the taste of this porridge is really good.
Xue Liangliang asked: "What kind of meat is this, so delicious."
The man was about to answer, but was interrupted by Xue Liangliang himself:
"Forget it, when I didn't ask, I didn't want to affect my appetite."
"Do you want to drink?" The woman asked.
Xue Liangliang shook his head: "Drinking is easy to make mistakes."
Woman: "The wine I brewed has a very low degree and is not intoxicating."
"Then I can try it."
The woman put her hands on her lap, and with her third hand, she reached out from her clothes, carrying a gourd, and delivered it to Xue Liangliang.
This hand was extremely pale, with obvious corpse spots, yellow mud embedded in the nails, like a piece of ice, and a little white gas.
Xue Liangliang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, took the gourd with his left hand, grabbed the hand with his right hand, spread out his palm, looked at the lines, and then followed the trend along his wrist to his arm and touched it.
"Oh, no, why isn't it even warmth at all?"
His reaction made the man sit up straight.
The woman looked puzzled: "Warm?"
Xue Liangliang pulled out the gourd stopper and took a sip of the wine inside, it was sweet and a little greasy, but in the mountains in winter, this is very suitable for drinking.
"At least it has to be a little warm, like a living person."
The woman asked rhetorically: "Can a dead person become alive?"
Xue Liangliang: "Is it difficult?"
The woman shook her head: "I don't know how to do it."
Xue Liangliang: "Think about it yourself."
After thinking about it, the woman made a guess: "Live limb grafting?"
He tried his best to restrain himself from revealing his filling, but the more he restrained himself at this time, the more he couldn't hold back.
"Ahem...... Ahem ......"
In order to avoid being seen by the other party, he covered his mouth, raised his head, and coughed.
The woman also looked up at the sky, which was a taboo that could not be known by heaven.
She immediately stood up, bowed to Xue Liangliang, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your guidance, I don't know how to thank you?"
Xue Liangliang finished coughing, put down the gourd, picked up the remaining half bowl of porridge under his feet, and said:
"It's all in the wine and in the porridge."
The woman looked at the man, and the man also looked at the woman, and the two of them already felt that sitting was not suitable for them.
The man crossed his hands in front of him and asked: "Don't you know the identities of the two of us?"
Xue Liangliang: "Guess I know?"
The man asked again: "Since you know the identities of the two of us, why do you need to give me some guidance and help me?"
Xue Liangliang pondered for a moment and said:
"To look at problems, we must not only look at the surface, but also look at problems from the perspective of development, especially when looking at regional issues, we must respect objective reasons such as history, geography, and customs, and cannot be killed with one pole. On the basis of in-depth understanding, we should guide them in order to form a joint force in the future."
Is there a religion or class?
The two of them tensed up again.
After Xue Liangliang finished this bowl of porridge, the woman got up and took the initiative to take the bowl and helped Xue Liangliang continue to make porridge, while the man bent down to add firewood.
The second bowl of porridge was eaten quickly, and Xue Liangliang began to wait for the poison to occur.
If the porridge is poisonous, he will definitely die.
Looking around, I didn't know what to say, but I couldn't be cold.
Seeing that the man and woman were squatting by the bonfire at this time, he asked: "Why don't you sit?"
The man and woman looked at each other and replied:
"I've been sitting for a long time."
"The stone is hard."
"Indeed." Xue Liang nodded highlights, simply moved his buttocks, sat on the ground, and after getting closer to the fire, the heat was more comfortable on his body, "By the way, are you two a couple?"
The woman lowered her head.
The man said: "We can't get married."
Xue Liangliang: "Why?"
The woman lifted her hair: "Only people can get married."
Xue Liangliang shook his head, casually picked up a small piece of wood and threw it into the bonfire:
"The pattern is small."
The man looked stunned, and the woman looked surprised.
Xue Liangliang thought of her and said: "Even if you are not human, you can get married."
Hearing this, the man and woman breathed rapidly at the same time.
Xue Liangliang thought of his unborn child and said:
"Not only can you get married, but you can also get pregnant and have children."
Lying requires acting, and the truth does not need to be interpreted.
Only those who have truly experienced it can reveal such a real emotional texture.
As soon as Xue Liangliang finished speaking here, the two of them turned around at the same time and faced Xue Liangliang in a half-kneeling position:
"Please also ask the seniors to teach us."
……
On the second floor, Xu Ming no longer crossed his arms or leaned against the pillar, but looked at the three people in the yard below with a very serious gaze.
Sun Yan on the roof no longer shook her legs, and even let the birds and birds around her leave slightly, staring down.
These two people from the Corpse Gu Sect were the clues of this wave of their team, the legendary saintess of Miao Xin in history they were investigating was from this faction.
Although they were not afraid of these two people, they never let their guard down on them.
Old man Tian also watched the scene below, and after serving a bowl of medicinal juice, he carefully carried it into the room.
The two corpse Gu sect people downstairs did not know the identity of the young man's group, but Zhao Yi's group knew.
No matter how much the Dragon King family declines, it is also the Dragon King family, and the two families are one, even if the population is sparse, what remains is not easy to provoke.
For example, the last time, his young master apologized in front of him, and he didn't dare to be vague, and he didn't even dare to ask his family to intercede.
"Master, the medicine is ready."
"Well, give it to me."
Old man Tian wanted to lean over and whisper to Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi raised his hand: "To be honest, my brother Yuan is not an outsider."
Zhao Yi: This stupid old man, have you forgotten that this guy has excellent ears, no matter how softly you whisper to me, it is like playing with a loudspeaker in this young man's ear.
Old man Tian was entangled with an old face, he didn't know how to say it, and in the end, he could only hold back a sentence:
"I'm afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, do you want to bring me some sugar cubes?"
Zhao Yi glanced at him and said again: "Just now you want to say something, just say it, don't hide it."
Old man Tian received a clear order and spoke: "The person who brought them in seems to be very unusual, the two people from the Corpse Gu Sect have already knelt in front of him."
"Oh, I know." Zhao Yi waved his hand.
Old man Tian left the house while wiping his sweat.
Zhao Yi picked up the spoon and fed Li Chaiyuan the medicine, and Li Chaiyuan drank it very cooperatively.
After finishing his drink, Li Zhuiyuan smiled.
He remembered the scene where Ah Li fed himself medicine.
Every morning, Ah Li would bring Aunt Liu's fried medicine, come to the bedside to feed herself, and accidentally poured the whole bowl of medicine on his head.
"Brother Yuan, what are you laughing at?"
"I remembered some happy things in the past."
"Do you remember the person who gave you medicine?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Yi stood up, walked to the basin, washed his hands, picked up the towel and wiped it while walking back.
"When I came over, I heard a cry for help from the tulou, so I owed my hand and broke the formation.
When Li Chaiyuan heard this, he nodded.
Zhao Yi deliberately let them go, and he should have followed them and found the Zhao Jun Temple on the mountain, and also found the stone tablet that was empty after cracking.
"Brother Yuan, it was my negligence, I really didn't expect that you would arrange such a simple formation, but if the formation is more complicated, I don't dare to break it directly."
"Hmm."
"But Brother Yuan, I really admire you, I followed the clues and rushed here, but I was still one step late.
As a result, I can only applaud you, Brother Yuan.
Not only did I not drink the soup, but I also had to be anxious about the next wave."
Li Chaiyuan looked at Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi also looked at Li Chaiyuan.
Immediately, Zhao Yi squatted down, brought his face closer, and said to Li Chaiyuan:
"The Corpse Gu Sect likes to hunt strange corpses, although there is a master but there is no mountain gate, and it is normal for them to compete with each other and kill each other.
Without the mountain gate, there are no worries, they are a group of madmen, they dare to do anything, and they are not afraid of anything.
Brother Yuan, you said that if I take Renren with me and leave them alone, what will they do?
No matter what they do, it has nothing to do with me."
Saying that, Zhao Yi brought his face closer, almost leaned into Li Chaiyuan's ear, and whispered:
"I bet on the one below, I'm just pretending to be a master."
Li Chaiyuan's expression was still calm, and he said lightly:
"Buy and leave, you only have one chance to bet."
———
Don't panic, there is still a chapter during the day to make up for today's word count.
(End of this chapter)
