Chapter 10: Someone Holds a Bow in the Woods
As the saying goes, he who pretends to be asleep cannot be awakened.
So after Lao Qu said those words, Shen Xiaojia did not open his eyes, but turned over and lay on the ground in a more comfortable position, snoring like thunder.
"You don't snore when you sleep," Lao Qu rolled his eyes at Shen Xiaojia and weighed the wine jar in his hand, "I'll count to three. If you don't get up, you don't have to get up... three, two..."
Shen Xiaojia immediately sat up and said urgently, "Stop it! Why do everyone like to count when threatening others? What kind of bad habit is this..." He spat on the ground with a mouthful of blood, "Didn't you see that I was injured?"
You can't let me lie down quietly for a while? If you smash that jar, I will die before Mo Chunfeng!"
"Time is tight, the task is heavy, now is not the time for you to lie down..." Lao Qu walked slowly towards Shen Xiaojia, took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it over, "Golden Sore Medicine, stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, treasured for ten years, the effect is
Wonderful."
"Ten years? The shelf life has long passed..." Shen Xiaojia took the golden sore medicine, opened the bottle cap, sniffed it gently, twisted his eyebrows together, and said with a green face, "It stinks! This stuff is really powerful
If you apply it to the wound, it won't cause sores?"
"What's the shelf life? How many times have I warned you... Don't say those weird things? Why don't you listen..." Lao Qu scratched his head, "This medicine is just like wine. The older it is, the more flavorful it is. It's normal.
.Furthermore, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease, but effective medicine is not easy for people to accept."
Shen Xiaojia applied the golden sore medicine on the wound with hesitation, and suddenly thought of an interesting question, tilted his head and asked, "Hey! Laoqu, if you said this medicine fails, is it a good medicine to save people, or is it fatal?
poison?"
Lao Qu was startled for a moment, then scratched his forehead and said, "How can the medicine fail? It's just like the water in this pool, there is no expiration date..."
"Who said water has no expiration date?" Shen Xiaojia interrupted Lao Qu and pointed at the small porcelain bottle in his hand. "Water will not expire in the pool, but it will have an expiration date when it is put in the bottle. We have a saying there.
Nature Porter's business is in the business of putting water into bottles."
"It's all my fault," Lao Qu said with a heartbroken look, beating his chest, "I should have fished you out of the Spring River earlier, but you were so confused that you always talked nonsense. This is happening all over the world.
It’s water, no idiot would do the business of selling water without fear of losing all his pants.”
"Don't believe it, he has become one of the top ten richest people in the world by relying on this business..." Shen Xiaojia paused for a moment, looked at the dozens of wounds where blood scabs were gradually condensing, and secretly praised, half of them were left.
Putting the golden sore medicine into his arms, he stared at Lao Qu with a playful expression, "I've long seen that you old boy is not simple, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be very not simple. That willow leaf flying knife just now was really amazing!
Let’s talk, it’s time for a showdown.”
"Oh? How did you see it?"
"Of course you can see it with your eyes... Even though you pretend to be just like an ordinary person, the way you walk still betrays you. Habits are terrible things that can reveal a person's true face inadvertently...
Your footsteps are very light, lighter than the spring breeze."
"I'm a waiter, so it's normal for me to walk briskly."
"It's different. Your briskness is the briskness of running around in the world...so I always stare at your back, guessing what kind of person you are, and guessing when you will tell me your own story."
"Curiosity killed the cat... Xiao Jia, sometimes you can live longer by pretending to be confused."
"I thought we were friends. I thought you were the first and most important friend I met in this world. I thought we could talk about anything."
"There will be a day when there will be nothing to say without saying anything... In fact, we are enemies. I killed your father, I also killed your mother, and in the end I even almost killed you." Lao Qu hesitated.
He had a messy beard, but he couldn't straighten it out. A look of pain flashed through his eyes, "I threw you into the Spring River. I wanted to drown you so that your family could be reunited..."
Shen Xiaojia's eyes narrowed slightly, "So...what you said to the woman in Yanyulou earlier is true? Do we really have a hatred as deep as the ocean?"
"of course it's true."
"Then it's true that you said you wanted to kill me?"
"Of course it's true. I raised you for ten years and killed you for ten years."
Instead of staying away from the old song immediately, Shen Xiaojia interestingly moved his buttocks closer, "Then why am I still alive?"
"You're lucky, but you will die soon," Lao Qu pretended to be sad, pointed at his nose, and choked, "I killed you."
Shen Xiaojia's face suddenly burst into laughter, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, it's so interesting... I now have some doubts that I am the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and all the monsters and monsters want to come and kill him."
"You are not bald, how could you be the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi... Moreover, the cow ghost and snake god have not arrived yet, so it is still unknown whether they will come to kill you."
"Are there really ghosts and monsters? Where do they rank? The fourth and eighth ones have already appeared. Could it be that the top ten on the emperor's killer list are all here to kill me?"
"Since noon yesterday, many people have come to Moon City. Some I know, some I don't know. As for how many people there are, I can't count them clearly... But before I came here, Shi Shi was sitting in Zuiyue Tower.
Nibbling the sweet potatoes she brought herself."
"Sweet potato?" Shen Xiaojia suddenly thought of the old lady who collided with him last night, frowned and said, "She could kill me last night, why didn't she do it?"
Lao Qu sighed, "There are rules everywhere in this world. Everyone lives under the rules. Killers also have their own rules. At least you have to determine the target before taking action. It's not easy to kill indiscriminately. If
If you kill the wrong person, you have to kill again. How tiring it is! Oh, by the way, let me remind you, stay away from that sweet potato seller, Grandma Ji. Those traps you set in the woodshed have tricked her.
The disciple of her also let the fighting chicken she raised be scalded with boiling water to remove all its hair, turning it into a naked chicken. This is considered a bridge!"
"This is a bit rogue! They broke into my residence privately and jumped into my trap. How can they put the blame on me?" Shen Xiaojia said with a frown, "They are still a master after all, but they are too small-minded!"
"But you don't have to worry too much. Xiaozhi, who is ranked fourth, is guarding you. Grandma won't really do anything to you. At most, she will pluck all the hair on your body."
"Don't you know that that little girl's desire to marry me is a lie, but that she wants to make fun of me is the real thing?"
"Really? I really don't know about this, I shouldn't... Your Shen family is kind to her grandfather. Even if Xiaozhi wants to find someone to make up for it, she won't find you."
"Are there not enough ungrateful stories in the book? Besides, I am the only one left in the family now, and all adolescent children are rebellious. Even if her grandfather misses his old friendship, she will be a killer without feelings." Shen Xiaojia sighed softly.
, drooping his head listlessly, his eyes lowered and said, "Old Qu, there is a question that I have been thinking about for a long time but I still can't figure it out... I'm just a catcher, not an emperor sitting on the dragon's throne, why do you all think so?
Are you going to kill me?"
"Because your surname is Shen, the person who sat on the Dragon Throne before was also surnamed Shen."
"There are so many people with the surname Shen in the world, why does it have to be me?"
"You were born in the first year of Yongding. When you were eight years old, the Xuanwumen mutiny occurred in Kyoto. Today, I kicked the founding emperor off the throne and changed the name to Tianqi. And in that year, someone
I picked up a stone tablet from the river, with a few lines of characters engraved on it: "rituals and music have collapsed, Daqing must be destroyed, and the one who destroys the celebration is the Black and White Shen family". Then someone sent me a high-level pursuit in the rivers and lakes.
Ling, there is another condition that I cannot refuse..."
Shen Xiaojia scratched his half-black and half-white hair and said with a wry smile, "So just because of my hair, you think I am the one who plotted to usurp the throne? That's ridiculous. I will shave my head when I go back."
Let’s see what else you have to say.”
"What's yours is yours. Even if you shave your head, it will still grow back. This is fate..." Lao Qu exhaled a long breath, "I've said what needs to be said, it's time to get down to business.
.”
Shen Xiaojia raised his head, looked directly into Lao Qu's eyes, and sneered, "Are you going to kill me now?"
"I have to kill you, otherwise it will be too late..." Lao Qu didn't look into Shen Xiaojia's eyes, not because he didn't dare, but because someone more attractive to him appeared at this moment. Although he didn't see that person,
He knew that the man had already arrived, and stared into the depths of the woods with a solemn expression, and said softly, "The grass in the dark forest is frightened by the wind, and someone is drawing his bow in the forest to take your life!"
Shen Xiaojia rolled his eyes and immediately understood Lao Qu's intention, and said anxiously, "Lao Qu, where are you ranked? No... No matter how high you are ranked, you can't hit that bow! Think again, don't risk your life.
It's easy to kill someone."
"Thank you for your concern. I cherish my life and nothing will happen to me."
"I'm talking about my life! I know that I can only live if I die now... But after I die, you must not hit me on the head! If you use your life to win the lives of both of us, in the end,
It's very possible that both of us will actually die!"
"I know... if you die, we will just compete. If you live, that is fighting for your life!" Lao Qu cleared his throat, slammed the wine jar on Shen Xiaojia's head, and said with a chuckle, "
So, please feel free to die!"
Shen Xiaojia's face twitched a few times, his eyes went dark, he slowly lay down, and uttered his last words with resentful eyes, "This method is too cruel!"
Lao Qu looked at the broken wine jar and blinked in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, it's the first time after all... I used too much force..." He squatted down and stretched out his index and middle fingers to touch Shen Xiaojia's body.
He clicked on a few acupuncture points, looked at Shen Xiaojia's face with soft eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Sleep peacefully and have a beautiful daydream... Who said no one can beat the number one person? I
I’ve beaten him before! I’m so scared of him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound broke through the air, and several birds flying in the sky suddenly stopped flapping their wings and fell straight to the ground.
Lao Qu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again. The aura on his body suddenly changed, and he became filled with evil spirits, making people feel indescribable palpitations and depression. His greasy robe was fluttering in the wind, coldly.
