Entering the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 25: Reverse Scale
The climate of the desert is like a woman's temper, it changes at a moment's notice.
During the day, the skin can be sunburned.
At night, the skin can be broken by freezing.
The temperature difference is huge.
It was night, and a large bonfire was lit on the empty sand in the center of the town. Many townspeople were talking and laughing loudly around the bonfire, which was very lively.
Seeing this, Su Wangting and his party left the inn and came over.
After all, it's much warmer next to a campfire than in a cold room.
Except for the poisonous man.
Because this guy actually found a singer in this remote place. At this time, he was drinking a small drink with drunken eyes and staring at the woman who was playing and singing with a silly smile on his face.
After Murong Yunxiu inquired about it, he realized that making bonfires was not a common thing. It was only a custom for major festivals or happy events.
Tonight's bonfire is to celebrate that a girl from a family in the town is about to marry far away.
The host family had prepared wine and food by the bonfire early and invited the people in the town to gather around the bonfire. The girl to be married, dressed in wedding clothes, thanked the villagers who came forward to congratulate her one by one.
A girl from a desert family can marry to the east, which means that she can bid farewell to this desolate and cruel living environment. Of course, it is a happy event worthy of celebration.
What's more, this time I will marry in Maozhou, Jiangnan, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Mu Shilan stood outside the crowd, looking at the girl's bright red wedding dress from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so nice..."
Murong Yunxiu laughed when he heard this and said jokingly: "Are you jealous? I tell you, you are really addicted to this marriage thing."
Mu Shilan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Su Wangting, who knew his past, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think too much, you will also have this day."
When Mu Shilan heard this, she trembled all over, and immediately changed from the sadness on her face to a sneer. She cupped her hands at Murong Yunxiu and said, "It depends on Miss Murong whether she can succeed or not."
Hearing this, Murong Yunxiu was so angry that she grabbed Mu Shilan's ears and slapped his mouth while shouting: "Still saying it! Still saying it! Still saying it!! Nothing but this happens every day.
That’s all, I’m so annoyed by you!!”
"Ah yo, ah yo, ah yo...beating...beating is kissing, scolding is love, I understand!! Ah yo..."
"You still said!!!"
At the time of the excitement, more than ten camels were seen heading straight towards the crowd from the entrance of the town. The men on the camels covered their mouths and noses with black cloth, and each had a half-moon scimitar hanging on his waist.
In an instant, the noisy crowd fell silent.
Only the occasional crackle of firewood could be heard from the campfire.
The people who were talking and laughing loudly a moment ago did not dare to move at this time. They looked at the camels that were circling the crowd with frightened eyes.
When Su Wangting and the other three were wondering, they saw a woman not far away covering her child's mouth and softly shouted: "Shh! The Feisha Gang is here. If you don't want to be taken away, just be good and don't make trouble!"
Su Wangting and Mu Shilan looked at each other after hearing this.
"Let's take a look first and then talk." Su Wangting said softly.
Mu Shilan nodded slightly and stared nervously at the frightened and trembling woman in the wedding dress.
At this time, the dozen or so camels stopped circling the crowd. Several men jumped off the camels and went straight to the wine and food. They grabbed the stew and ate it as if no one was watching.
"Why are you all gathered together? What's the happy event today?" At this time, a burly man who seemed to be the leader was still riding on a tall camel, looking around at everyone.
A shriveled old man took two shaky steps forward and paid homage to the burly man: "My granddaughter is going to get married soon, so I will serve some food and wine tonight to thank the folks for taking care of my little girl over the years.
"
The burly man said oh and asked, "Which one is your granddaughter?"
The old man looked back at the girl in a bright red wedding dress.
"Come closer." The burly man hooked his fingers at the woman in wedding clothes. "It's too dark to see clearly. Come to the bonfire and let me see what it looks like."
The woman in the wedding dress turned pale, with tears in her eyes. She just pursed her lips and shook her head.
Although all the villagers were worried, no one dared to act rashly.
The burly man snorted, pointed at the old man and said, "Hurry up, don't mess with me. I'm so impatient that I'll whip this old guy's neck off!"
Although the woman in the wedding dress pursed her lips tightly, she still cried loudly and walked forward while crying.
After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, the burly man's face showed a lewd smile: "Oh, tsk, tsk, tsk... I didn't expect that this little appearance is quite charming."
"Sir...Sir, please be noble and let us go..." the woman in wedding clothes begged with a trembling voice.
The burly man jumped off the camel, pinched the chin of the wedding woman, and said with a evil smile: "Little beauty, where are you going to marry?"
"Go back...back to uncle, Jiangnan Maozhou..."
"I think your marriage is not good." The burly man smacked his lips and shook his head repeatedly, "I think it's better to forget about marrying so far away. It just so happens that the boss of our Feisha Gang wants to take a concubine, so he might as well come with us
Let’s go!”
When the wedding woman heard this, she burst into tears and knelt down, kowtowed and begged.
The burly man laughed a few times and shouted to his men who were eating meat: "You bitch, you can eat whatever you want!! Why don't you get a rope and tie up this little beauty and present it to the boss!!"
After hearing this, several of his subordinates laughed and wiped their oiled hands, then took off a bundle of hemp rope from the camel.
"Third master, do we, the first master, like this girl? Why don't you give us some rewards?" One of his men grabbed the hair of the woman in wedding dress and put a rope around her neck.
The burly man laughed and scolded: "You are so fucking anxious. If the boss doesn't like it, I will try it first! When I have had enough fun, it will be your turn, hahaha..."
The men who were tying up the man laughed loudly and claimed yes, rubbing their hands back and forth on the woman's body from time to time with a lewd smile on their face.
At this time, the woman in the wedding dress was hopeless. She stopped crying and allowed the two oily hands to caress her. She was like a rabbit that had been grabbed by the neck by a wild wolf and had given up its struggle.
But the old man had already knocked out his head and bled, roaring loudly and pleading for help.
But how could everyone in the Feisha Gang pay attention to him?
Just call the sky, but the sky will not respond.
Call the earth, but the earth does not work.
At this time, the wedding woman suddenly raised her head and gritted her teeth and said: "Little girl, I dare not disobey you Feisha Gang. It's just that I lost my parents when I was a child. It was my grandfather who raised me up. You can kidnap me."
, but at least I have to keep some money, and it won’t be in vain for my grandfather’s hard work all these years.”
The man who tied up the man laughed a few times, then pulled out the scimitar from his waist and put it on the old man's neck: "What a filial beauty. Why don't I kill this old guy now so that you won't have to worry about it?"
Isn’t it good?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man felt a gust of wind pass by.
"Crack."
An object fell at his feet.
"what?"
The man took a closer look and saw that it was an arm holding a scimitar!!
The man's eyes narrowed sharply and he looked at his right hand.
But where is his right hand?
It has been cut off from the shoulder!!!
A figure appeared behind him at some point.
Mu Shilan!!
While the crowd screamed, the man also passed out due to excessive blood loss.
Su Wangting, who was outside the crowd, raised his lips.
He had already predicted that Mu Shilan would definitely take action.
It was his life's regret that he could not marry his late wife. How could he just watch the woman who was about to get married be abducted by thieves?
The scene before him was almost like touching his reverse scale!!
The burly man was stunned at this time.
Looking at the unsheathed sword at Mu Shilan's waist, he was not sure how his arm was cut off.
"You...who are you!!"
Mu Shilan suppressed the anger in her chest, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"You killed my men? Do you know the consequences of offending our Feisha Gang!!" The burly man roared again.
As soon as the roar ended, the scattered Feisha Gang members immediately gathered together and surrounded Mu Shilan and the grandparents.
Mu Shilan did not answer, but bent down and slowly and methodically untied the ropes on the woman in the wedding dress.
Supporting the woman in the wedding dress, Mu Shilan lightly dusted her wedding dress and said softly: "Girl, you have to take care of your wedding dress. It would be a pity if it gets dirty. Go back and go back to your grandfather.
Go home and prepare to get married with peace of mind."
The poor grandfather and grandson supported each other and looked at the Feisha Gang surrounding them with horror on their faces.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't think well."
As he spoke, Mu Shilan walked towards the Feisha Gang and said coldly: "Get out of the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Feisha Gang men in front of him rolled their eyes and fell down.
Mu Shilan was startled when he saw this.
He didn't take action!
But he soon understood what was going on, because he found that the two men who fell to the ground had a silver needle stuck in the back of their heads!
Mu Shilan looked at Murong Yunxiu outside the crowd and said with a smile: "You really can't help it anymore?"
Murong Yunxiu shouted: "Stop talking nonsense!! Save people quickly!!"
Mu Shilan clasped her fists: "I obey my lady's instructions!"
"call out!"
There was a flash of silver light.
Mu Shilan's fingertips caught a flying needle.
"Hey, madam, are you planning to murder your husband?"
"Who is your wife?! Don't you dare try again!" Murong Yunxiu took out a row of flying needles from his arms.
Mu Shilan smiled and waved her hands: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid! Spare your life!"
After saying that, Mu Shilan's face darkened, and her eyes swept towards the Feisha Gang beside her like sharp knives: "If anyone stops me again, I will die."
No one dared to respond.
Mu Shilan took out a silver note from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the woman in wedding dress: "Hurry and help the old man go back. Use these silver coins to prepare some decent dowry."
Without waiting for the woman to refuse, Mu Shilan pushed the grandfather and grandson out of the encirclement.
"Who are you?! Why are you going against our Feisha Gang!!" The burly man roared again.
Mu Shilan turned around, with a ferocious smile on her face, and walked towards the burly man step by step: "Feisha Gang, right? Good, that's really good! How dare you ruin a marriage in front of me, that's good."
The burly man swallowed, slowly pulled out his scimitar and held it across his chest: "You...what do you want!!"
"Those who destroy family relationships will die."
Before he finished speaking, the burly man felt a gust of wind blowing towards him!
The burly man suddenly felt his chest tremble. He looked down and saw a thin hole pierced through the scimitar guarding his chest!
But it wasn't just the blade that was pierced.
And the chest behind the blade!!
The sword is not unsheathed, but the chest has been pierced!!
"you……"
The burly man covered his chest and took two steps back.
"Soon, you didn't see clearly, did you?" Mu Shilan said with a cruel smile.
"What on earth are you..." The burly man began to vomit blood from his mouth.
The three-foot green sword was slowly unsheathed, and Mu Shilan said in a deep voice: "Did you see it clearly this time? You will die under this sword."
After finishing speaking, a cold light flashed.
A head falls to the ground!
Then, the headless and burly body collapsed.
Mu Shilan shook off the blood on his sword, turned around, and walked towards the Feisha Gang.
His eyes were already red.
The long sword in his hand is turning into a mad sword!
"No... no, Su Qing, you won't be snatched away. You won't go anywhere. Let's worship right now..." Mu Shilan muttered something.
Everyone in the Feisha Gang had frightened faces and retreated one after another.
"No... Suqing... you won't die. I promise you, we will get married right now..."
The cold light flashed again!
All three members of the Feisha Gang were found dead in different places!!
Upon seeing this, the remaining few people threw away their scimitars, shouted and ran away.
But where could they escape?
Mu Shilan had appeared in front of them like a ghost.
"Master, please spare my life!!!" These people cried and knelt down, kowtowed and begged.
But Mu Shilan just kept smiling, still mumbling to himself, and his fair face was already splattered with blood drops, and he looked terrible.
"It would be nice to give me Suqing..."
"brush!"
Another head fell to the ground!
Wherever they dared to move, they all fell to the ground and shivered, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Why do you want to take away my Suqing!!!"
"brush!"
The ground was bright red.
"Why!!!"
The cold light flashed again!
But the tip of the sword stopped above the Tianling Gai of a Feisha Gang man and did not stab him.
A slender hand with five fingers grasped Mu Shilan's wrist.
Su Wangting.
Those red eyes slowly looked at Su Wangting beside him: "Are you going to stop me? Are you going to stop me from saving Su Qing?"
"clam down!!!"
With a roar, a terrifying wave of air burst out from Su Wangting's body!
The Feisha Gang members who were lying on the ground felt their chests feel tight due to the wave of energy, and two of them even vomited blood from their mouths.
Mu Shilan trembled all over as she woke up from a dream.
"Su...Brother Su?"
Su Wangting took the long sword from his hand and put it back into the scabbard on his waist.
At this time, Murong Yunxiu ran over and looked into those red eyes, shocked.
Su Wangting said in a deep voice: "If you can comfort yourself through killing, then you have greatly disappointed me."
Mu Shilan lowered his head: "I made you laugh. I... couldn't control myself."
"Have you forgotten what I said? If you don't want to become a mad sword, you have to find your own scabbard!"
Mu Shilan gritted his teeth and nodded.
Murong Yunxiu covered her mouth and asked in a low voice: "Could the Su Qing in your mouth just now be yours..."
Su Wangting immediately pulled her and interrupted her inappropriate question.
Mu Shilan smiled bitterly, and there were two lines of blood and tears in his red eyes.
"Miss Murong, can I ask you a favor from now on?"
Murong Yunxiu was startled when he heard this: "Say."
Mu Shilan took off his long sword and put it into her hand.
"What are you?" Murong Yunxiu was shocked.
"No matter what happens from now on, if you don't nod, I will never draw my sword!"
"you……"
Mu Shilan clasped her fists: "Please."
Murong Yunxiu stared blankly at the long sword in his hand and murmured: "You drew the sword when I told you to?"
"Exactly."
"What will you do if I'm no longer by your side?"
Mu Shilan said loudly: "Then take the sword away. I will never use a sword again for the rest of my life!!"
Seeing that Murong Yunxiu was at a loss, Su Wangting said with a smile: "Haha, it is enviable to others that such a master's sword can obey your orders. Besides, when walking in the rivers and lakes, you can have a bodyguard with you, why not
Why? You should have a kind heart and just help him."
After pressing her red lips tightly in silence for a long while, Murong Yunxiu nodded slightly.
