The villain is ill
Chapter 39
"Someone is here." Chu Mo said, "Master, let's go."
"En." Chi Wushang replied.
After the two left, Chen Wanrong, who was still in a daze just now, was shocked. She rubbed her arms and looked around, "Why is it suddenly so cold?"
This sudden cold reminded her of the abyss-like fear when she saw Shang Chi Wushang in the evening.
She looked around, convinced that she was the only one around, and then she felt relieved, and looked back unwillingly, "Forget it, I have no luck being an old lady."
Flying back for half a mile with lightness kung fu, Chen Wanrong met a black figure, she was so frightened that she almost screamed.
"Junior Sister, it's me, it's me!"
When a familiar voice came, Chen Wanrong took advantage of the moonlight to take a closer look, seeing that it was Chen Qingpeng, she couldn't help being angry, "It's fun for you to come out in the middle of the night to scare people?"
"Junior Sister, don't be angry. I didn't wake up at night to relieve myself. I was worried when I saw that you were not in the car. Come out and look for it. What are you doing so far in the middle of the night?"
Chen Wanrong said impatiently: "I can't sleep, I think the moonlight is good here, so why don't you just come over and have a look?"
"All right, all right, of course there is no problem. Junior sister can watch the moon wherever she wants." Chen Qingpeng coaxed, "Have you finished watching it now? If you haven't finished it, how about senior brother watching it with you for a while?"
"You have a good idea, and you want to watch the moon with this girl, heck! I'm going back." Chen Wanrong walked towards the camp without looking back.
Chen Qingpeng shook his head helplessly, and before turning around, he looked at the direction Chen Wanrong came from just now, but he didn't see anything strange, "The moonlight here is not as bright as it is on the mountain, what's there to see?"
There was nothing to say all night, and the bodyguard team packed up and set off early the next morning.
Because there are horse-drawn carts and ox carts in the same company, the speed of travel is not fast, and it took eight days to cover half of the journey.
Perhaps because of the cold reception that day and Chen Qingpeng's obstruction, Chen Wanrong seldom came to talk to Chu Mo in the past few days, but Chu Mo was happy to have a leisurely time.
As the official roads became wider and wider, a city became clearer. The rock-built city walls looked distorted under the scorching sun in late summer. The bodyguards wiped their sweat one after another and looked at the leader, Chen San, almost hugging his thigh. Said to rest.
Chen San was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Everyone has worked hard these few days, today we will go to the city to rest for the night, and we will start tomorrow."
The crowd cheered in unison.
If you get closer, you can see that the city gate is round and arched, with the word Qinyang engraved on the top.
Chu Mo had overheard this Qinyang City before when he was listening to people chatting, and they only used one word to describe it - poor.
On the one hand, the land in this city is barren, and there are no mountains, forests and water pools around. Most of the irrigation is by digging wells, but the few wells are not enough for the residents to drink, and it is too extravagant to use them for irrigation.The second is that it lives at the junction of the two countries, and wars between the two countries often occur, so it is unavoidable to be implicated in it from time to time.
Fortunately, the two countries have signed an agreement in recent years, the war has decreased, and Qinyang City has also restored peace. However, several city lords tried to develop Qinyang City, but in the end it was fruitless. Whenever there is improvement, there will always be accidents. The dead, the wounded, and the wounded cannot continue to take office.
Everyone said that this is a cursed city, so the new city lord dared not take any action in fear, and Qinyang City continued to be poor.
As the escort team approached, more and more people came in and out of the door. They were all plainly dressed peasants carrying burdens.
At this time, an old man was carrying a load, followed by a boy of six or seven years old. The boy seemed to be unable to walk, wobbled a few times, and suddenly fell down. He was so startled that he raised his hoof and was about to kick. Seeing that he was about to kick the boy, Chu Mo moved his fingers and was about to make a move when he saw a hand stretched out from the side of the boy and lifted him away.
The horse's hoof stared blankly, and soon became quiet under the comfort of the coachman.
Chen Qingpeng put the dizzy boy on the ground, "Walk carefully." Then he said to the thankful old man: "Take care of your grandson, and don't let him run around."
The old man nodded again and again, "Okay, thank you sir for saving your life. My grandson hasn't eaten for two days. He must have fainted from hunger. I'll cook for him when I get back today. Thank you sir." , "Don't kneel down and kowtow to your benefactor."
The boy seemed to be frightened, and stood there dumbfounded without moving.
"Forget it." Chen Qingpeng waved his hand, thought for a while, took out a biscuit from his arms and handed it to the boy, "Here."
The boy took the cake, glanced at it, sniffed it again, and suddenly stuffed it into his mouth and began to gobble it up, his cheeks on both sides were swollen, his eyes rolled white from choking, and he was still swallowing hard, obviously he was very hungry.
Seeing his exaggerated way of eating, everyone in the bodyguard team, who claimed to be well-informed, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.
The old man said he couldn't do it, and watched his grandson eat and swallow.
Chen Wanrong, who just got out of the car, also handed a biscuit to the old man at this time, "Old man, you can eat one too."
"Thank you, thank you girl."
Seeing the same ferocious appearance of the grandparents and grandson eating, Chu Mo frowned. Maybe others would think that they were starving, but during the years he wandered, he had come into contact with countless beggars, and not a few of them died of starvation. But even people who are about to die of starvation will definitely not be like them, eating with a vicious vigor.
Not bad, just ruthless.
They didn't seem to be eating an ordinary biscuit, but instead they seemed to be gnawing flesh and blood, ferocious and frantic.
At this moment, Chu Mo saw that the people who had just entered and exited the city in an orderly manner stopped and gathered towards this side. Their eyes seemed to be about to eat them alive in the next moment.
"What are you doing? Hurry up!" At this time, the city gate guard came over with a spear and shouted loudly: "Everyone is scattered, hurry up and enter the city, what are you all doing here?"
After the guards shouted, the gates of the city people dispersed, and the grandparents and grandchildren gradually left.The rest of the bodyguard team also noticed the city residents who gathered here earlier, and thought they were all hungry, but they didn't think much about it.
"These people are possessed."
When the escort team entered the city, Chu Mo heard Chi Wushang's voice.He thought for a while and said, "But they don't have magic energy in their bodies."
"Demonic energy is only the manifestation of the cultivation base of a demon cultivator. Ordinary people do not need demonic energy to become a demon." Chi Wushang paused for a moment, then looked at Chu Mo, "The inner demon is also a demon. If you are too persistent, you will become paranoid, paranoid If you go too far, you will fall into a demon."
Thinking of the eyes of those people just now, Chu Mo naturally knew that Chi Wushang was right, so he nodded and stopped talking.
He didn't hear Chu Mo say anything more, Chi Wushang glanced at him sideways, smiled suddenly, and asked, "Do you want to save them?"
Hearing the question, Chu Mo withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and said: "It's their own choice to become a Buddha or a demon. I am neither a saint nor a virtuous person. How can I save them?"
While talking, the bodyguard team had already entered the city, and stopped in front of an inn. Chen San called out a few times, and only the waiter came out to greet him enthusiastically, "Should I be a guest officer or stay in an inn?"
Chen San originally wanted to change the hotel, but seeing that the waiter was quite enthusiastic, and the inn was also the top specification in the city, he thought about it and replied: "Stay in the hotel, come with twenty rooms."
Hearing that it was a big deal, Xiaoer's smile became brighter, and he greeted inside, hurriedly invited a group of people in, and then told the bodyguards to park their horses in the stables in the backyard.
When the group of people entered, the shopkeeper had already come out to greet them, and kept shouting: "Vipulative guests, please come inside, please come inside."
"There are only two people in your shop?" Chen San looked around and asked.
"There is also a cook, and two waiters went out to buy." The shopkeeper has a smooth face, and his smile is particularly friendly, "Our shop is already the best inn in Qinyang City. , you also know that this city is depressed, and there are few outsiders, so you can't invite too many people. Guest officers, please rest assured, if you need anything, feel free to call, the small ones will definitely not neglect you. "
"Well, then I'll trouble the shopkeeper." Chen San was not very satisfied with this inn, but it was better than eating and sleeping outside. "Twenty rooms are the best."
The bodyguard team has 34 members in total. Chen Wanrong, as the only woman, has her own room, Chen San lives in one room alone, and the other 32 people share a room with each other. Chu Mo and Chi Wushang have another room, exactly [-] rooms. Allotment is very thoughtful.
However, the innkeeper's face froze when he heard the number, "Well, guest officer, our inn is small, and there are only four upper rooms and twelve middle rooms in total. No one lives in them now, so I can give them all to you." He patted his chest as he spoke and assured him, "Don't worry, our rooms are all cleaned and hot water is available, which will definitely make your stay comfortable."
At this time, the bodyguards also parked their cars and entered the lobby of the inn. Hearing the words, they didn't bother to make any fuss, and they all expressed that they could squeeze together.
"Is it enough?" Chi Wushang took out a piece of silver and put it on the cabinet.
"Enough is enough, there's more." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to take it over. His hand was so fast that it seemed like an afterimage was about to disappear. He quickly took out the door key from the drawer, "This is The door key, Zhu Er Er, hurry up and take the guest officials upstairs!"
Then the shopkeeper picked up the silver and took a bite, looking at the tooth marks on it and laughing.
Seeing that Chi Wushang had paid the money first, Chen San thanked him a few more words, and handed the two boarding cards to Chu Mo, "Brother Shu, here are your keys, the journey is exhausting, so I have a good rest today. "
Chu Mo only took one, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brigade Chief Chen, the two of us can live in one room. There are too many of you, and there are not enough rooms in the first place. Wouldn't it be unreasonable for us to occupy two more rooms?"
"Haha, thank Brother Shu and Hero Chi for your understanding." Chen San smiled brightly.
The bodyguards took the keys and dispersed to rest. Chen Qingpeng walked behind and muttered in a low voice: "I really don't know what Master thinks, what can you do to these two people so well?"
Chen Wanrong took the key from Chen San, and when she heard Chen Qingpeng muttering, she slapped him, "What are you mumbling about here?"
Thinking of Chen Wanrong always being honest with herself, but always smiling at Chu Mo, Chen Qingpeng felt even more uncomfortable. With a heat on his forehead, he couldn't help raising his voice, and said, "I said that these two oil bottles are not from our bodyguard team. Yes, we kindly took them with us, why should we give them two upper rooms?"
"En." Chi Wushang replied.
After the two left, Chen Wanrong, who was still in a daze just now, was shocked. She rubbed her arms and looked around, "Why is it suddenly so cold?"
This sudden cold reminded her of the abyss-like fear when she saw Shang Chi Wushang in the evening.
