Relief

The woods on both sides of the post road do not grow naturally, and there are traces of artificial logging everywhere. If you are lucky, you may find a supervisor's hut to spend the night.

"One more night," Wu Li said, "the fourth child will be here."

It turned out that he wrote to Qiongshan last night to inform them to send the fourth child.

Yueguanshan was very excited when he heard it: "Hey, the fourth child! Is it flying over from the soles of the feet again? I admire him the most in the middle school, and I have the opportunity to compete again!"

Wu Li said: "Do you admire a mentally handicapped most??"

Yueguan Mountain folded his palms together: "Amitabha, the six roots are pure, and only then can one obtain the Dao."

"...Okay, okay." Wu Li surrendered.Losing the horse, the walking speed is very slow, and I don't know if I can find a place to stay before dark, but the two people gag all the way, which is very interesting, but it is not a torment.

After walking forward at a constant speed for about an hour or two, Wu Li couldn't move anymore, with half of his body weight on Yue Guan Shan's body, he was half dragged and half hugged to move.

"Xiao Wu, are you... okay?" Wu Li panted.

"No problem, no problem." Xie Zhi said humbly, I am a person who has practiced martial arts after all, so my physique is better than yours no matter what.While raising his hand to wipe away the blood beads hanging on the eyelashes blocking his sight, there seemed to be a wound on his forehead.

Wu Li's tone was full of panic: "Bloody blood! Second child, show him quickly!"

Yue Guanshan also said: "Wow, Brother Xie, you are out of shape."

Feng Zhichang spread his palm flat on the side of his head, Xie Zhixu took out a mangosteen from the fruit pocket hanging beside the wheelchair, with a wrong thumb and middle finger, broke it in half and put it in his palm.

"You still order him to peel the mangosteen for you?!" Wu Li said angrily.

Feng Zhichang glanced at him and motioned Xie Zhixu to change to a loquat.

"..." Wu Li said, "Without a conscience, ah, without a conscience, Xiao Wu's blood is almost drained!"

—what a fuss.

Feng Zhi often reached into his sleeve pocket and fumbled.Xie Zhixu then said to Wu Li: "Second senior brother said you made a fuss, there are many blood vessels on your head, if you make a small cut, blood will flow all over your face, it's really nothing."

He used to practice martial arts with his father, and he often stumbled and stumbled. He knew what kind of injury was not enough and what kind of injury should cause vigilance.Feng Zhichang took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve—he seemed to carry many bottles and jars with him—and poured a ball of turpentine-smelling wound medicine into his palm, and pulled Xie Zhixu's neckline down with one hand. Pull, and slapped the ointment on the wound on his forehead with one hand like a talisman.

——All right.

Xie Zhixu smiled and said, "It's fine."

Wu Li looked at the two of them, and found that he was a little meddling, lying on the half of Yueguan Mountain, seemingly complaining but not complaining: "Brother Guan Shan, it's lucky to have you, otherwise I would be alone!"

When Xie Zhixu was a little dizzy, the woods finally met, the hillside sloped down, and a hundred acres of fertile fields were paved. The green seedlings stretched out with the wind, and the waves flooded the people on the ridges of the fields. At the end of the road, behind the faintly visible city wall.

A firewood house was found on the slope. It was used by villagers to cut firewood temporarily for storage. No one lived in it. There was a copper lock in front of the door. Yueguanshan wanted to break it with brute force, but was stopped by Wuli, and he took out the harvest to make a bamboo tube. pointing at the front keyhole, Wu Li wrapped his fingers around his sleeves and touched the side keyhole, as if he had pulled an invisible silk thread, and stirred it on both sides. Rubbing, listening with ears, and noticing the slight bounce of the guard, he stopped his hand and the copper lock fell off.

"That's all right." Wu Li picked up the brass lock and shook it in his hand.

Yue Guanshan was dumbfounded, looking ignorant.

There are no windows in the firewood room, and the pile of firewood is like a mountain. Because woodcutters often come in and out, and they are frequently used and replaced, there is no moisture or musty smell.

While Xiangwan was having dinner with the villagers, Wu wanted to go to ask for some hot food, and Yueguanshan wanted to go with him, so he was ordered to stay in the woodshed.

"why?"

Wu Li said: "Two people are enough, Xiao Wu and I are together, you are good at martial arts, stay and pay attention to the movement in the forest, Zhou Jackal will definitely not let it go."

Although there was no reaction on Yueguan Mountain, Xie Zhixu felt that he was a little unhappy, and when he walked along the field ridge to the farmhouse with Wu Li, he asked, "Does Young Master Yue not like Second Senior Brother too much?"

Wu Li said: "It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't know how to get along with him. He's a mute and has facial paralysis. You can't get any response when you talk to him. Yue Guanshan's temperament is like being noisy and not quiet. How do you make him familiar with the second child?" stand up."

"Then you leave them alone."

"You have to think about it in the long run," Wu Li replied, "If Zhou Jackal is chasing after him, and Yueguan Mountain wants to go with us, we can't keep the two of them separated, and when they encounter a crisis, just stand by and watch each other."

Xie Zhixu couldn't understand.

"But according to what you say, they don't have the same personality at all."

"Look at it, Yueguan Mountain is actually quite admiring, otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way from Liangzhou to challenge the Central Plains masters. What the second brother showed today is enough to scare him."

Wu Li smiled slyly.

In the firewood room, Yue Guanshan wanted to use local materials to make a fire for lighting, but because of the sweltering heat in early summer, Feng Zhichang stopped him. He accidentally found a skylight on the roof. When he opened the window, the orange-red sunset just fell in, a bright beam of light, and Not burning.

There are particles floating in the air, Feng Zhichang occupies a corner, with bottles and cans beside him, I don’t know what to adjust, Yueguan Mountain is in another corner, he has nothing to do, so he has to doze off.After sleeping for a while, a danger signal suddenly came from somewhere in the house. Yueguan Mountain Nest did not move in the black fur, and opened one eyelid half asleep and half awake—it was a black scaled snake, winding on the dusty ground. Wandering around, when Yue Guanshan opened his eyes, the snake raised its head spiritually, its yellow-brown vertical pupils were sharp and thin.

Yueguan Mountain: "..."

Feng Zhichang didn't realize it, and took out a handful of grass from his sleeve pocket. It was picked by Xie Zhixu in the forest on the way, and it seemed to be a suitable herb, ready to be ground.The black scaled snake spat out the snake letter and bared its fangs, causing Yue Guan Shan's ears to stand up in shock.

"There is a snake!" Yueguan said, he thought it was the kind of cauliflower snake that is common in the fields and forests beside the village.The little prince didn't know that a non-poisonous cauliflower snake wouldn't look so black and shiny.

Feng Zhichang didn't respond, he lowered his hand and made a move, the black scaled snake immediately gave up looking at Yueguanshan, swam along Feng Zhichang's drooping arm into his sleeve and disappeared.

"..." Yueguan Shan said, "Oh, is it your snake?"

Feng Zhichang glanced at him lightly, planted the herb in his hand on the thick wooden trunk leaning against the wall, and it took root instantly, and grew vigorously for a few inches, and a bunch of small pink-purple bell-shaped flowers bloomed. Aries fresh for sores.

This move completely shocked Yueguanshan. He opened his mouth wide and watched Fengzhichang pick off the grass leaves and mash them into mud, he was speechless for a moment.

"Uh...Second Senior Brother is a medical student?"

Feng Zhi often ignored him.

"Still poison?" Without waiting for a response, Yue Guanshan asked and answered again, "The family of doctors and poisoners, well, I understand. I understand. There is a corpse society in the north, and they are also very poisonous. My old man has always wanted to invite their elders to visit Qing, poison theory is better than martial arts, one person can be worth a thousand troops."

Feng Zhichang finally gave him a straight look, and half of his lips twitched inexplicably.

"Excellent," Yue Guanshan gave a thumbs up, "I won't compare with poison, and I don't know how. You people in Qiongshan are all geniuses."

He took the initiative to get up, walked to a pile of utensils and sat down: "Do you need help?" Chang handed tools to Feng Zhichang, and the two cooperated quietly.

The woods have been very quiet, and it is almost night. No one in the village stays in the forest, and no one hears deliberately hidden footsteps among the fallen leaves and dead branches.

When the smell of food wafted in from outside the door, Feng knew that Chang's bottles and jars had been put away, and only a plate of paste ointment made from white sheep was left in his hand.

Wu Li and Xie Zhixu opened the door and came in, each holding a lunch box in their hands.

Yue Guanshan rushed forward immediately: "There is something to eat!"

In the middle of the firewood room, an open space was cleared, the lunch box was opened, and the hot aroma of cooking filled the room.

"It's good luck," Wu Li said with satisfaction, "I met a good family."

Xie Zhixu pushed Feng Zhichang to eat, but was pulled by his collar and sat down on the ground. Feng Zhichang pushed his shoulders and turned his back, uncovering the torn cloth on his back.

The pain-relieving effect of the little five snakes had passed, and the wound was affected. Xie Zhixu gasped and did not ask any questions, waiting for Fengzhi to often apply the ointment on the wound.

The ointment was cold, neither of them spoke, only the sound of Wu Li and Yue Guan Shan setting the table and chopsticks in the room.A strange feeling arose in Xie Zhixu's heart in vain. He always thought that martial arts among Qiongshan senior brothers were the most delicate in thought, but Feng Zhi often just didn't bother to express them, and even gave Xie Zhixu a gentle illusion when he applied the medicine.

The last time he was poisoned by the ashes of Emperor Nanping Zhang, Feng Zhi was always by his side, chatting with him with the help of Tong Gensheng, to help him relieve the panic of having no perception.

--turn around.

Feng Zhichang finished taking the medicine, patted Xie Zhixu on the shoulder and back, and then painted his neck.

This is so close, the skin on the neck can almost feel Feng Zhichang's soft breathing, Xie Zhixu froze his head and did not dare to move, still Feng Zhichang Shi's actions, his eyes slowly looked down from the sharp nose bridge in front of him shift.Red lips, white collarbone hidden by the placket.

Xie Zhixu turned his eyes suddenly, and asked in a strange way: "Is it better for me or Liuliu?"

Feng Zhichang paused, glanced at him, then took off a translucent yellow tablet on his forehead that was used to coagulate and stop bleeding, and threw it into the fire just raised by Wu Li.

"Are you so nice to Liu Liu?" Xie Zhixu asked stubbornly.

This time, not only Feng Zhichang, but also Wu Li cast an inexplicable glance.

Feng Zhichang wiped a few hands on his forehead indiscriminately, pulled up Xie Zhixu's sleeve to wipe off his hands, and said mockingly:

——Liu Liu called me my second elder brother.

The implication is that there is a difference between closeness and sparseness.

Liu Liu called everyone a brother, she wished to call us a senior brother, but the husband would not accept her.Thank you for humbly saying, I can too.

"Second brother." Xie Zhixu said immediately.

Wu Li covered his face with his sleeve in a horrible way.

Feng Zhichang's facial expression was completely out of control, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, he raised his hand several times and put it down again, looking like he really wanted to kill Xie Zhixu on the spot.

—Go and eat.
