Zhang Chengling felt dizzy, probably from the scorpion poison and his ears heard a thunderous rumbling from the surrounding as if it were separated by a layer of veil, audible, but somewhat different.
He turned his face to the direction of the arrow and saw two men.
The man with a small crossbow in his hand wore a navy blue robe, with long sleeves and looked smart, a wide belt was tied around his waist, and a white jade flute was beside him. He didn't look like a warrior or a scholar, but like a gentleman who was noble and respectful. At first glance, his peach-like eyes seemed to have a slight smile, but when he looked carefully, he noticed his gaze toward the last poisonous scorpion was slightly cold.
Zhang Chengling wondered stupidly, this man ... was really the best looking man he'd ever seen.
The dead corpse of the poisonous scorpion seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then like an arrow from its string flew towards the person holding the crossbow. What happened next was that the poison scorpion became a dead scorpion.
Only then did he look at the man in black who was some distance away, but appeared beside him in the blink of an eye, bent down, picked up his hand and looked at it. He reached for his several points, then he fed him a pill and said, "Swallow it, it's scorpion potion."
Zhang Chengling couldn't care about anything else, he just pulled the corner of the man's clothes hard and said, "Gu ... Xiang ... Sister ... Please help ..."
He spoke with all his might. When he spoke, it became blurred, and it was difficult for the man in the robe next to them to understand, but he still figured it out, and asked softly: "You asked us to help you to save someone? Where? "
Zhang Chengling stretched out his finger and pointed towards the direction he came, still saying: "Gu ... sister ... save ... she, save ... save ..."
The man in black looked up at his companion until the man in the robe said "Aren't you going?."
The man in black scooped the ferret from his shoulder and threw it into the man's arms. "Be careful, I'll be right back."
Then he seemed to disappear after turning around. Zhang Chengling stared blankly at the direction where his back disappeared. The man in the robe helped him sit upright, and said: "Close your eyes, don't think about anything, save your life first before thinking about anything else. "
When he woke up, the sky was completely dark, and the numbness in Zhang Chengling's body had faded along with the scorpion poison. Then he slowly sat up, for a moment, he was a little confused. He couldn't think straight till he heard the voice of the girl next to him "you're awake!"
Zhang Chengling looked back with joy at seeing Gu Xiang. the wounds on his body had been dealt with and he was sitting next to a fire to warm himself. At this time, a hand full of cocoons stretched out, and his fingers clung to Zhang Chengling's veins. After a while, he let go of him and said, "The poison has resolved."
It was the man in black who saw Zhang Chengling's eyes looking curiously. He ignored them, and leaned straight against a tree. His deep facial features from the side, looked like it was carved from stone. Zhang Chengling found that Gu Xiang's gaze at the man turned out to be full of awe, as though she was restraining the way she normally talked in front of him.
He said awkwardly, "Thank you ... Thank you for your help!"
The man in black heard that, but nodded slightly, and said , "No need." Then he stopped looking at him and turned to stare in the other direction.
Zhang Chengling followed his eyes and saw that the man in the robe holding the crossbow in the day was holding a pile of firewood, and the talented man in black had to stand up, Gu Xiang ran off first, she took the firewood from him and said: "Lord Seventh, sit! sit. I can do all these things. Why do you have to do it yourself? I am a servant for others ..."
The "Lord Seventh" showed a smile and bent, revealing a pair of peach eyes. He sat next to the man in black. The man in black didn't know where to find a very small piece of warmth. The stove was crammed into his hand, and he took off a dead leaf on his sleeve lightly. He wondered if it was his illusion but he felt that the man in black seemed to be dead in his heart but became a person with flesh-and-blood person, upon seeing the other. his eyes had so much warmth.The two did not talk much, but there was definitely a tacit understanding between them.
Lord Seventh looked at Zhang Chengling and asked, "Are you better?"
He didn't speak loudly, but it sounded very nice. Zhang Chengling didn't know why, he suddenly blushed and bowed his head nodding silently, but he couldn't help raising his eyes secretly, to see him again-He remembered that the woman who arrived at the tavern that day was extremely beautiful, but Zhang Chengling suddenly felt that compared to this man, the woman's face was like a skin on a piece of paper, artificial and thin.
Before Zhang Chengling reacted, Gu Xiang, who added firewood to the fire there, crackled and said, "He is my brother, and naturally his surname is Gu. The two of us were doing small tasks in my master's house. But my master's family encountered trouble, and the enemies were determined to kill all of us working under the master. But thanks to ... "
The man in black glanced up at her, and Gu Xiang couldn't say any more. He only stared at her with a pair of grunting eyes.
She only talked nonsense, and Lord Seventh didn't mind it, but continued with a cheerful look: "You all have injuries on your body. We should have taken you to an inn, but this little girl said that someone was hunting you in the city. It is not safe. We can stay here for a night, and leave again tomorrow morning. Do you two have anywhere else to go? "
His voice was soft and not too low, like he was coaxing two small children. Zhang Chengling listened and suddenly felt sad. Thinking back, he really had nowhere else could go? His father died early, and his whole family was dead. Right now, no matter whether they were good or bad , they all wanted to catch him. He was like a bird frightened by a bow. His wings are almost folded, but the world is so big that he can't find a foothold. His eyes were are red and he remained silent.
Thinking of Cao Weining, Zhang Chengling cleverly added: "There is also Cao, and some weirdos who have taken him away."
Gu Xiang immediately cast him an icy look warning Zhang Chengling, a little idiot, not to talk so easily. But Zhang Chengling was in a daze, distressed and could not catch it, then he heard Lord Seventh asking: "What kind of weird people? "
Zhang Chengling said honestly: "A dwarf and a giant, and a pair of old husband and wife who were all dressed up."
Gu Xiang rolled her eyes and stared up at the starry sky, he couldn't wait to strangle Zhang Chengling and make him faint again.
Lord Seventh didn't seem to be familiar with these people in Wulin, s he only hesitated and asked, "Who are they?"
The man in black, who only listened to one side, said: "The landlord Feng Xiaofeng and the mountain slaves then the ones all dressed up are probably ... Red Lady and Green willow "
He stared at Zhang Chengling as if with electricity, and said coldly: "Although it's not a good thing, he can still be conceited and never mix with those poisonous scorpions. Why would he try to kill you?"
Zhang Chengling was swept away by his gaze, he felt as if he had blocked an icy stone in his chest, and then he froze.
Lord Seventh laughed, and said, "Little poison, don't scare the children." The man in black, after hearing the words, really lowered his eyes honestly, and the Shaman was settled, so he stopped paying attention to them.
Lord Seventh stared at Gu Xiang who was restless, then turned to Zhang Chengling, and suddenly asked, "Child, I ask you, is your master surnamed Zhou?"
Gu Xiang was afraid that Zhang Chengling would say something, so she hurriedly rushed and said, "Well, his master not surnamed 'Tang', and he is a wretched and lecherous old man!"
But Zhang Chengling frowned and said to in righteous manner: "My master is not a wretched and lecherous old man, you are saying bullshit!"
Gu Xiang's ten fingers were eager to move, and strangle him quickly.
Lord Seventh shook his head and laughed out loud: "Where is such an old-fashioned little girl? Okay, we are not bad people either. In the end, Master Zhou was a good friend of mine in the past."
Gu Xiang's eyes rolled around and she asked, "What do you say? You know his master? what is his master's name and how does he look like?"
Qiye said: "His last name is Zhou, his given name is ..."
Suddenly he paused, he narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then thought to himself, Zhou Zishu was a man good at hiding his head and showing his tail, so he would definitely not use his real name. What else would he use?
He couldn't figure out whether Zhou Zishu would change his name to "Zhou Yun" or "Zhou Su". He said that because of that person's temperament, there were only few names he would.
Gu Xiang really bluffed him and said dubiously: "Well? Zhou Xu still has a brother?"
She had known Zhou Zishu for quite a while. Even after hearing Wen Kexing say that he might be a senior figure in the skylight, she still felt he was mysterious. She didn't know where he came from, or his martial arts. She never heard of his brother.
Another thought, looking at the two in front her the one in blue was hard to figure out, but the man in black waa really a rare master, if her master was here, it would be hard to discover who was stronger. With their strength, It would be so easy to pinch them like two bugs so she didn't think that there was any need to lie.
Lord Seventh saw the two little kids, then lowered his eyes as he looked at the rising fire, and laughed silently.
So on the second day, Gu Xiang took Zhang Chengling and walked with the two men all the way, carefully avoiding the eyes of others. Lord Seventh took the two of them to a silver house. A man with a face like dough, greeted them immediately and respectfully called "Master" and "Shaman".
Lord Seventh settled the two of them, ordered a snack and ate with them, then sat aside, and played against the man in black with interest, thus spending away his time. At noon, the big master of Yinzhuang Suddenly came in and said to Lord Seventh, "Zhou Gongzi has already arrived, and is waiting to meet you."
Lord Seventh threw the chess piece aside and stood up and smiled. He put Su Bai's hand back into his sleeve, and commanded: "One of the four great things in life is when one is back in his hometown. Let's go in quickly."
