Chapter 5: Chasing people on a snowy night
He put his hand on his chest and said sadly to himself: "Xiao Yun, Shiyin , I will never blame you. No matter what others say, I will not blame you, because I know that you are not wrong, all the mistakes, It was all caused by me.
Suddenly, there was a bang on the wooden door.
A man climbed in from the door. He looked like a meat ball. , The belly is as big as a drum, the whole body is crowded with fat, the whole body is stained with dirt, the hair and beard are even more messy, as if they have not taken a bath for many years, and you can smell the sour odor from a distance .
He crawled in because both of his legs had been cut off at the root.
Li Xunhuan frowned and said, "If my friend came to beg for food, he really chose the wrong time. "
" This man didn't seem to hear at all. Although he was bloated and disabled, his movements were not clumsy. He pressed his hands and rolled his body to the stove.
Li Xunhuan said in surprise: "Is it because of this golden thread? Is A here?
The man pressed his hands again and jumped onto the stove like a toad. The body was still in the big iron pot, and the golden armor was still on the body.
Li Xunhuan said coldly: "The knife in my hand is not If you can't kill anyone, if you don't stop, I'm afraid there will only be one more dead person here. "
" This man still ignored him, and took off the golden silk armor with all his hands. It seemed that it was just a golden vest, and there was nothing magical about it.
" The strange thing was that Li Xunhuan Still sitting peacefully He didn't move, and the flying knife in his hand didn't fire. He just stared at the strange man, with a look of fear in his eyes.
I saw this strange man holding the golden armor tightly with both hands, looking up to the sky and laughing: "Snipe and clam look like each other." After fighting, the fisherman gained. I didn't expect this treasure to be in my hands. "
" Li Xunhuan said coldly: "I'm still here, and the knife is still in my hand. I'm afraid it's too early for you to say this."
The weirdo jumped down again like a toad, rolled in front of Li Xunhuan, looked at Li Xunhuan and grinned, showing his yellow teeth.
He giggled and said: "Since you have the knife in your hand, why don't you kill him?" Me. Xiao Li's flying knife, it's true that once your flying knife comes out, there is absolutely no way I, a cripple, can avoid it. "
" Li Xunhuan also grinned and said, "I think you are very cute, so I can't bear to kill you." "
" The weirdo laughed a few times and said, "If you don't want to say it, I will say it for you." "
" He laughed and continued: "Others think you are not poisoned, but I know that you are poisoned. It's just that you are really calm, so others have been fooled by you." "
Li Xunhuan looked unmoved and said, "Oh. "
" The strange man said: "But you don't want me to be fooled, just because I know that the poison in the wine is colorless and tasteless. Even if your nose is sharper than a dog, you can't even think of smelling it." "
" Li Xunhuan looked at him for a long time, then smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency, you really know so clearly." "
" The weirdo smiled and said: "Of course I know very well, because I was the one who administered the poison." Whether you are poisoned or not, I can also see that you can deceive everyone in the world, but you cannot deceive me. "
Although Li Xunhuan's expression has not changed, the muscles in the corners of his eyes have been beating continuously. After a long time, he sighed and said: "The day has not ended yet, and I have encountered something unexpected. There are six or seven items. It seems that I am really lucky today. "
" The weird man said: "Don't you want to know who died at the hands of you?" "
" Li Xunhuan said: "I just wanted to ask for advice." "
" The strange man said: "Your Excellency is well-informed and knowledgeable. You should know that there are seven most despicable and shameless people in the world..."
Li Xunhuan lost his voice and said: "Seven wonderful people..."
This strange man laughed and said: " Not bad at all.These seven wonderful people are really male thieves and female prostitutes. They are especially shameless. They can't learn other martial arts, but they are the best in the world in the skills of incense and poisoning, stealing, seduction and abduction. .
Li Xunhuan looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Are you also one of the Seven Wonderful People?" "
" The strange man said: "There is another most despicable and shameless person among the seven wonderful people, and his name is..."
" Li Xunhuan said: "Miao Langjun Huafeng. "
" The weirdo laughed and said: "I'm wrong, his full name is 'Black-hearted Miao Langjun'. This man is uneducated and has no skills. He doesn't even dare to pick flowers. He can only seduce good women to cheat money and sex. But if When it comes to poisoning skills, sometimes even the Five Poisons Bliss boy is inferior to him. "
" Li Xunhuan said: "Your Excellency, you know this person very well." "
" The weirdo said with a smile: "Of course I know this person very well, because I am him and he is me." "
" Li Xunhuan took a long breath, and then he was really stunned.
" Hua Feng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, are you weird? How could Mr. Miaolang be such a big meatball? "
The picture comes from the Internet
Li Xunhuan sighed: "If someone like you can seduce good women, those women will be blind." "
" Flower Bee said: "You are wrong again. Not only are the people I seduced not blind, but everyone's eyes are very beautiful. It's just that if a person has his legs cut off and is locked in a cellar, he will only be fed once a day." A bowl of unsalted lard with rice. Even if he was originally Pan An, he would turn into a meatball in a few years. "
" Li Xunhuan frowned and said, "Could this be the murder of the 'Purple Faced Erlang' and his wife?" "
" Huafeng pondered for a long time and said with a smile: "He just told you a story. Now I will tell you one too, but my story is more interesting and interesting than his." "
Li Xunhuan said: "Oh. "
" Huafeng said: "I was unlucky that year. I was so confused that I seduced my bearded wife. What was even more unlucky was that I even got a child out of her, so she had to run away from me." "
" Li Xunhuan said in surprise: "It turns out that the person Zi Mian Erlang was talking about is you, and he is the one who takes the blame for you." "
" Huafeng said: "He only made one mistake." "
Li Xunhuan said: "Oh. "
" Huafeng said: "I did not kidnap the jewelry she brought out. Even if I thought so, it would not work, because this woman is smarter than a ghost, and I have no chance to do it." "
" He sighed, and continued: "But the bearded man had already noticed the matter at that time, and was following it very urgently. I am the most timid person, so I wanted to find someone to take the blame for me, so I asked Little Rose to seduce Zi Mian. Erlang, she initially refused, saying his face was not white, but I finally convinced her. "
" Li Xunhuan said: "It turns out that you two are colluding."
Huafeng said: "If I had simply used the trick and walked away, it would have been fine. But the jewels Little Rose brought out from Big Beard were really quite a lot, and I couldn't bear to part with them, so I made an appointment with her." , when this matter calms down a little, I will come to her again and kick the purple-faced Erlang away. "
" He sighed again, and then continued: "But I forgot that there is no unchanging woman in the world. She and the purple-faced Erlang lived together day and night, and actually fell in love with each other. When I came to see her again, the two of them actually started to fight together." , knocked me down, and cut off two of my legs, making me suffer for more than ten years.
Li Xunhuan frowned and said, "Why didn't she just kill you?" "
" Huafeng smiled bitterly and said, "If I understood a woman's heart, I wouldn't be like this." "
" This time he sighed longer, and continued: "I used to think that I knew women very well, so I had this kind of retribution. If a man thinks that he knows women, he deserves it no matter what he suffers." "
" Li Xunhuan also sighed and said, "This story is indeed much more interesting than the one just now." "
" Flower Bee said: "The most interesting thing you haven't heard yet." "
Li Xunhuan said: "Oh."
" Huafeng said: "You have been poisoned by me. Not only will you be unable to use your strength, but you will also die within three hours. So I will never kill you now. I will let you sit here and slowly enjoy waiting for death." taste. "
" Li Xunhuan said calmly: "That's not necessary. I have enjoyed the feeling of waiting to die many times." "
" Huafeng said with a ferocious smile: "But I can guarantee that this will definitely be the last time." "
" Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "In that case, please do as you please, but... it's windy and snowy outside, with ice and snow everywhere. How can you go far if you are like this?" "
" Huafeng said: "Don't worry about it. People without legs can also ride horses. I have heard the horses neighing outside, and they are very energetic. They must be some good horses." "
" He laughed and climbed out, waving his hands and saying with a smile: "Bye, bye." "
" Li Xunhuan also smiled and said: "Walk slowly, slowly. I'm sorry that I can't send you far away. I'm really sorry." "
There was a lot of horse traffic outside, and the sound of hooves gradually faded away.
Li Xunhuan sat there quietly, looking at the wine pot on the table.
One pot of wine was empty, but there was still wine in the other one.
Li Xunhuan picked up the wine The jug sniffed, took another sip, and murmured: "It is indeed colorless and tasteless. This gentleman is really good at poisoning. "
" He took another big sip, closed his eyes and said, "This wine is indeed good. Drinking one cup is also death, drinking a pot is also death. Why don't I drink more, so as not to waste such a good wine." "
" He actually drank the whole pot of poisonous wine. He murmured again: "Li Xunhuan, Li Xunhuan, you should have died long ago, so why not die." But at least you can't die in the kitchen with these dead people. "
So he struggled to stand up and staggered out.
The hoofprints on the snow were crisscrossed and he headed straight to the southeast.
He came and took out the uncarved figure from his arms.
The figure was slightly outline, and a pair of eyes seemed to be staring at Li Xunhuan. There seemed to be a hint of melancholy in the corners of his eyebrows.
Li Xunhuan smiled sadly and said. : "Why are you looking at me? I'm just a hopeless prodigal and an alcoholic. You were right to marry Xiaoyun. It was only me who was wrong. "
He worked hard to carve, trying to complete the portrait.
But his hands were unstable and had no strength. The sharp knife could not even carve wood.
The weather was dark, the sky was low, and it was snowing again.
Li Xunhuan lay on the snow and kept coughing. Every cough seemed to be a call.
"The sound of poetry, the sound of poetry..." Can you hear the sound of poetry?
"As long as I find a person whose legs are cut off and look like meatballs within two hours, I might still have a chance of survival. For there must be an antidote for the poisoner. "
" This was the last word that Li Xunhuan could say.
The big man Qiu Ran used almost every ounce of his potential. Tears had condensed into ice particles under his eyes, and the cold wind blew in his face, like a knife. .
Suddenly, a scream came from the cold wind.
The big man's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment, then ran with all his strength in the direction of the scream. He first found a horse lying upside down outside the snow-covered pine forest.
He ran into the pine forest, and his whole body suddenly froze. Hard.
He finally found Miaolang Jun Huafeng, but what he found was Huafeng's body.
Huafeng's body had become like a thorn, and his body was covered with all kinds of hidden weapons, including darts and . There are sleeve arrows, there are Silver needle, five-pointed bead, poisonous tribulus ...
Qiu Ran couldn't help but show sadness on his face. This man's experience was so miserable. His legs were sawed off and he was imprisoned like a pig. For more than ten years, in the end he was still regarded as a living target.
But when he thought that if this person died, Li Xunhuan would also die with him, Qiu Ran's sadness immediately turned into grief and anger, and he shouted: "That's the person."
He still held on to the hope of just in case. , I hope that the person who died is not the person Li Xunhuan is looking for, but Li Xunhuan sighed and said: "It can't be wrong."
Qiu Ran gritted his teeth, took off his fur coat, and spread it under the tree. Support Li Xunhuan again Sitting down, he forced a smile and said: "The antidote may be on him. It will save trouble if he dies. I will go and find it."
Li Xunhuan also forced a smile and said: "Be careful, most hidden weapons are poisonous, so don't use them." Cut his hand. "
The picture comes from the Internet
He himself is dead in Russia, but he still thinks about the safety of others.
The big man Qiuran felt a surge of blood in his chest. He reluctantly swallowed the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and rushed to Huafeng's body.
I saw him squatting there, searching in a hurry, but after a while, his hands stopped, but he could not stand up for a long time.
Li Xunhuan said: "No."
The big man Qiu Ran had a lump in his throat and was speechless.
Li Xunhuan smiled faintly and said: "I knew a long time ago that I would never have such good luck. He has been imprisoned for more than ten years, how could he still have the antidote on him."
The big man Qiuran clenched his fists. Hitting his head and muttering : "If I knew who killed him, there would be hope. Maybe his antidote was taken away by that person."
Li Xunhuan closed his eyes, with a look of loneliness on his face, and said, "Maybe, yes. Maybe not..."
Qiuran said: "But the hidden weapons he possesses are very common. Everyone in the world can use these hidden weapons. Although the five-pointed bead is used by outsiders, it has become popular in recent years."
Li Xunhuan said: "Yeah."
Qiuran, a big man, said: "His body is hit by With so many hidden weapons, it was obviously not the work of one person. "
" Li Xunhuan said: "Yes."
, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
The big man Qiu Ran was still banging his hands, suddenly jumped up, and said happily: "I know who did it."
Li Xunhuan said: "Oh."
The big man Qiu Ran ran up to Li Xun Huan and said: "The person who did it was just one person. He was the one who made these thirteen hidden weapons."
Li Xun Huan said: "Oh."
However, the big man said: "Any one of the thirteen hidden weapons in his possession can kill him, but that man insists on nailing all thirteen hidden weapons to his body to satisfy himself. Such a cruel and vicious madman, There is a second one in the world, "
h." tml0 Li Xunhuan sighed and said: "Yes, there is only one, that is the Thousand-Handed Rakshasa. Mr. Miaolang will still die in the hands of a woman in the end.", No one else can unleash thirteen kinds of hidden weapons at the same time..."
" He suddenly stopped speaking, stared at Li Xunhuan, and said, "You have already seen it."
" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Xunhuan's mouth. He said: "What's the use of seeing it? The Thousand-Handed Rakshasa's whereabouts have disappeared, and we don't know where it has gone. We can't find it anyway."
Qiu Ran Dahan said clearly: "We must find it no matter what. He..."
Li Xunhuan shook his head and said: "There's no need to look for it. You just need to find some wine for me to drink and let me die. I am already very grateful to you. I am very tired now... very tired. I just want to have a good rest." ."
. The big man Qiu Ran knelt down, tears finally bursting out of his eyes, and said loudly: "Master, I know you are very tired. In these years, you have never been happy for a day. Sadness and sorrow are indeed worse than anything else. Everything can easily make people feel tired."
" He suddenly held Li Xunhuan's shoulders tightly and said loudly: "But Master, you must not die. You must cheer up. If you die inexplicably like this, you will be burdened with the reputation of a prodigal and a drunkard after your death." The master will not rest in peace even under Jiuquan.
Li Xunhuan closed his eyes tightly, the tears in the corners of his eyes had condensed into ice beads.
But he still had a smile on his lips and said: "There is nothing wrong with being a prodigal or a drunkard. They are better than those hypocrites and fake Taoists Much better, isn't it? "
" Qiu Ran's face was filled with tears and he hissed: "But...but Master, you are supposed to be the most accomplished person in the world. No one can compare with your benefits. Why do you have to give up on yourself and hurt yourself like this?" Is it worth it for the woman Lin Shiyin ? "
" Li Xunhuan's eyes suddenly shone with light, and he said angrily: "Shut up." You actually called her name. "
" The tall man lowered his head and said sadly: "Yes." "
" Li Xunhuan stared at him for a long time, then closed his eyes and sighed: "Okay, if you want to find it, let's go find it. But the world is vast and we don't have much time left. Where do you want to find it?" "
" The tall man Qiuran jumped up, showed his face and said: "The Emperor is worthy of his hard work, we will definitely find it." "
He was about to carry Li Xunhuan on his back. Suddenly, a piece of snow fell from the tree and fell on him. He flicked it casually and suddenly found that there were blood flowers on the snow...
on dead branches , there is someone...
A dead woman.
She was stuffed into a tree branch, her whole body was frozen, and a short spear was inserted into her plump chest, and she was nailed to the tree.
Li Xunhuan and the others only noticed the corpse of the flower bee on the snow, and did not notice her at all. The big man Qiuran raised his arms and pounced on her like a hawk.
They saw that her face was covered with knots. With one The layer of frost seemed to be transparent, making it impossible to tell her age at all. They could only tell that she was a very beautiful woman when she was alive.
Li Xunhuan smiled miserably and said, "We have found her, I'm afraid. Let’s hope that Huangtian pays off his hard work. "
" Qiu Ran clenched his fists and said bitterly: "Although Thousand-Handed Rakshasa is vicious, why did he strip her naked after killing her..."
Li Xunhuan sighed: "This one The clothes she wore were too valuable. "
" Qiu Ran's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, it is said that the Thousand-Armed Rakshasa wears the most important clothes. The clothes she wears are all made of gold threads and decorated with pearls and jade." "
" Li Xunhuan smiled bitterly and said: " If the deer antlers had no velvet, if the antelope had no horns, it would not die at the hands of hunters." "
" Qiu Ran Dahan said: "But this man killed her because of the golden silk armor. He got such a rare martial arts treasure as the golden silk armor and refused to let go of a piece of clothing. Such a greedy person is the only one in the world." There won't be a second one. "
" Li Xunhuan said: "Yes, there is only one..."
This time, the big man rushed over and said: "He reached into the coffin, demanding money..."
Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "You can pull it up again." Look at this short spear. "
This short spear is extremely finely made and is inlaid with jade.
Li Xunhuan said: "Shi Yaoxian regards money as his life. After killing someone, he would even strip off his clothes. He would be willing to keep such a valuable short spear. ?. "
" Qiu Ran frowned and said: "There are not many people in the world who use such luxurious weapons. Could it be that the prodigal son Pan Xiaoan left behind." "
" Li Xunhuan said: "That's right at all. This is what they both moved at the same time." "
" Qiuran said: "One of these two people loves money as much as life, and the other spends money like water. They are completely different from each other, so how could they get together."
Li Xunhuan said with a smile: "Young Master Pan is famous for his extravagant style. He has to pay attention to everything in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Shi Yao will follow him first. Not only will he eat and drink for free, but he can also follow Uncle Chongchong. This How could Shi Yaoxian not do something cheap?"
" Qiu Ran clapped his hands and said, "This is easy to handle. In such a cold weather, Young Master Pan will never sit on a horse and suffer the cold, let alone walk. He must ride in a car, as long as If we take a car, we can catch up. "As expected, rutted horseshoes can still be faintly discerned on the snow outside the forest. There are eight feet between the wheels. They are obviously riding in a very spacious car.
Although this kind of car is comfortable, it does not go too fast.
The big man Qiu Ran was refreshed and ran as fast as he could. This time it was much easier for him to track him. He only had to walk along the road, because the eight-foot-wide cart would definitely It was impossible to take the remote path.
At this time, the sky had darkened, and there was no one on the road.
The big man Qiu Ran cast his body and walked for a while. Although he was carrying a person on his back, he still walked very lightly. Jian, no one would have thought that a person with such Qinggong would become a slave, and a person with such a masterful Qinggong would never be an unknown person in the world.
After running for a while, he suddenly found that the snow on the road ahead was as smooth as a mirror, and no one had walked on it for at least two or three hours.
How could the big car be missing?
The big man was stunned for a long time. He turned back again. This time he walked slower and paid special attention. After turning back half a mile, he walked back. He found that the track of the cart turned into a fork in the road.
He didn't pay attention to this fork in the road, because there were thick trees on both sides of the road, and it was obviously leading to the tomb of a wealthy family.
He really didn't expect it. Turning into this tomb road leads to a dead end.
This is indeed a dead end.
The cart stopped in front of the huge stone mausoleum. The horse pulling the cart had disappeared, and three big men wearing sheepskin coats also fell dead on the snow.
In the cart lay a man wearing a heavy fur coat with a pale face. Although he is about forty years old, he is a middle-aged man with a clean beard.
Just look at what he is wearing on his hand. With that valuable jade-spotted finger, we knew that this person must be Young Master Pan, the prodigal son of Jin Yu Tang.
Next to him were the bodies of two young girls, who, like Young Master Pan, were also treated as such. The fatal point was hit with a heavy hand, but the three people beside the car were injured in the internal organs and died.
Who did this?
The big man Qiu Ran frowned and said: "Could it be Shi Yaoxian..."
On the ice and snow, my two hands are still holding tightly Li Xunhuan suddenly sighed: " It doesn't matter if a person is a prostitute or not, but he must not make the wrong friends, otherwise he will inevitably end up like Mr. Pan, who dies without knowing who did it. "
" Qiu Ran said: "Master, you...did you say that he was killed by Shi Yaoxian?"
Li Xunhuan said: "Look at how peaceful his face is. It's obvious that he was accidentally hit on his fatal spot while he was enjoying the blessing in the arms of a beautiful woman. He and Shi Yaoxian were the only ones in the car. Besides Shi Yaoxian, who else could do it?" .
The big man said: "But..."
Li Xunhuan said: "But except for him, everyone else had a look of horror on their faces. It was obvious that they didn't believe that Shi Yaoxian was capable of such cruelty until he died, especially when he was about to die." These two women might have had an affair with Shi Yaoxian before they were alive, let alone believe that Shi Yaoxian would kill them. "
" He sighed, shook his head and said: "This person values profit over beauty, but he doesn't understand that beauty is much more lovely than gold.""
" Qiu Ran Dahan said: "It is said that Shi Yaoxian's fingering skills are second to none in Shanxi. He originally had the reputation of 'chasing souls with one finger'. This indeed seems to be his hand, but..."
Li Xunhuan suddenly He added: "I don't know how long it has been since Shi Yaoxian treated Young Master Pan as his enemy. This time Young Master Pan wants golden silk armor. Shi Yaoxian is soft-spoken. He can't say no, but the golden silk armor is really tempting. People, Shi Yao had a dark heart, so he simply decided to get rid of it once and for all, and committed a murderous attack. "
Qiu Ran's words had been interrupted twice. This time he waited for a long time until Li Xunhuan stopped talking, and then he said: "But Shi Yaoxian is dead now.
Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "Those who kill are always killed. When Shi Yaoxian killed someone, there might be a nosy person watching on the tomb. Maybe after Shi Yaoxian discovered him, he wanted to kill him too." In order to silence him, he failed to kill someone, but was killed instead. "
" Qiu Ran frowned and said, "Shi Yaoxian is not good at martial arts. Who killed him?" "
" He walked up the stone steps in front of the mausoleum and found that Shi Yaoxian had no other injuries on his body, only an extra hole in his throat. "
" It was a hole pierced by a sword that was not sharp.
Li Xunhuan leaned on the shoulder of the big man Qiu Ran. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Then they exhaled a long breath together. A smile seemed to appear on the corners of their mouths and said in unison: "So it's him."
The big man Qiu Ran smiled and said: " Master Fei's sword is faster than flying, so it's no wonder that Shi Yaoxian couldn't resist it."
Li Xunhuan closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, it's really good. He got the golden silk armor and got it right. It seems that the Plum Blossom Thief is about to be unlucky."
Qiuran said: "Let's go find Master Fei. He will definitely not go far."
" Li Xunhuan said with a smile: "What's the point of looking for him?"
" The big man said: "The antidote..."
Li Xunhuan said: "There really is an antidote on Huafeng's body. It was really searched for by Thousand-Handed Rakshasa and kidnapped by Shi Yaoxian. Then, it must still be on Shi Yaoxian's body now. Ah Fei will never take other people's things in vain. He just He took away the golden silk armor, but he thought it should be mine."
Qiu Ran looked at the pearls worn by the two girls, and then looked at Young Master Pan. The huge emerald-spotted finger on his hand sighed: "Yes, even if there is money everywhere, Master Fei will not take a penny."
Li Xunhuan said: "So, if the antidote is not on Shi Yaoxian, it is useless for us to look for Ah Fei. "
" Qiu Ran's fingers trembled and he began to search Shi Yaoxian's body. He was really nervous because this was his last glimmer of hope. "
" The big man Qiu Ran moved all the corpses down and helped Li Xunhuan get into the carriage.
" On the wall of the carriage, there were actually two lines of words drawn with the tip of a sword: "I avenged you and I rode away from you. horse. "
" Li Xunhuan laughed and said, "I originally concluded that it might be him, but now I can conclude that he is the only one who would not even take advantage of a dead person." "
" He smiled and said: "This child is really cute, he only hates me..."
He didn't finish the sentence, but Qiu Ran already knew what he wanted to say, and the antidote didn't lie with Shi Yaoxian. On his body.
He just wanted to see him again. This cute young man is gone.
The big man seems to be unable to hold on any longer and is about to collapse.
Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "You don't have to feel bad for me. Death is not as scary as you think. Now I am the only one." Apart from the lack of strength in my body, my heart was so calm that I just wanted to drink a glass of wine. "
