Qin Xiao sweated on his vest and smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, you...are you awake?"
"Are you looking for someone else?" the madman said: "I want to find my knife, you help me find the knife. Do you know where the world is?"
"I...I don't know." Qin Xiao said helplessly.
The lunatic breathed, and the stench was overwhelming: "You don't know? Then why did you leave?" He seemed to understand something, and said: "Don't you want to help me? You promise a lot of money, and you must never repent. It turns out that you don't mean what you said.
Those who believe." When he said the last few words, his tone became serious.
Qin Xiao had never met such a difficult person, so he could only say: "Master, I misunderstood, I'm not leaving. I just don't have anything to eat in the cave, so I want to find something to eat. Master, I must be hungry too, right?"
His steps were like flying, even faster than a fast horse. Qin Xiao thought that he was about to leave on horseback just now. Even if he was not discovered immediately, with the speed of this old guy, he might be able to catch up with him on foot.
After a while, the old madman finally stopped. Only then did Qin Xiao realize that the old guy had unknowingly led him to a pasture. There was a sheepfold in front of him and there were dozens of sheep inside.
The old lunatic put Qin Xiao down and ran over without talking nonsense. The sheep inside were frightened and many sheep began to bleat. Five or six herdsmen rushed out from several nearby tents.
, someone was holding a spear in his hand, someone was already holding a bow and arrow, and someone was heard shouting loudly. Qin Xiao couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could guess that they were just shouting that someone was stealing a sheep.
"Are you hungry?" The madman was a little disappointed and said, "It seems that you really don't know where the world is." He got off the horse lightly and pulled Qin Xiao off the horse with one hand. Before he landed, Qin Xiao had already been pulled away.
Carrying it on his shoulders, Qin Xiao was horrified, and the madman ran away like the wind.
Qin Xiao could only hear the whistling of the wind in his ears, and in the night, he had no idea where the old madman was taking him.
But the old madman's speed made Qin Xiao truly know what it means to be a master.
Fortunately, the old madman didn't pay attention to the herdsmen at all. He had already caught a sheep, jumped out of the sheepfold, and ran to Qin Xiao. He held the sheep with one hand and pulled Qin Xiao to his shoulder with the other hand.
wind.
Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind, Qin Xiao turned around and saw several herdsmen already chasing their horses.
The old madman actually looked back, and when he saw someone chasing him from behind, he burst into laughter. He seemed to think that being chased was a very interesting thing, and the speed was faster. Qin Xiao still felt the wind whistling in his ears. Originally,
The sound of horse hooves from behind could still be heard, but after a while, the sound became quieter and quieter. When I turned back, not only were the shepherds invisible in the night, but I couldn't even hear the sound of horse hooves.
However, seeing how well prepared these herdsmen were, and the old lunatic who had just become familiar with the road, it was natural that this would not be his first offense.
This old madman must be around sixty years old at least, and he is probably a master of the Great Heaven Realm. Such a person came to steal a sheep. If Qin Xiao had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to believe that such a person would do such a thing.
The herdsmen rushed towards the sheepfold, and Qin Xiao was worried. He was afraid that the old madman would kill people. These herdsmen were ordinary people. If someone stole livestock, they would naturally want to stop and arrest them. The old madman had a weird temperament and was ruthless in his actions.
Not to mention these five or six herdsmen, even if a dozen more come, I'm afraid they won't be enough for the old lunatic to kill.
The old madman sat down, pointed at the sheep, and said, "Eat meat when you're hungry." Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't move, he stepped forward and grabbed a sheep's leg, and pulled hard, causing blood to splash everywhere.
Shengsheng pulled off a lamb leg and handed it to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao looked at the bloody sheep leg, opened his eyes wide, looked at the old madman, then looked at the sheep, and asked: "How to eat this...?"
What he meant was that the leg of lamb had not been roasted yet, how could it be eaten?
Qin Xiao had previously thought that this old madman could be faster than a horse, but now it was absolutely true.
Back in the cave, the old madman put down Qin Xiao and the sheep. The fire was almost extinguished. The old madman quickly
After adding fuel to the fire, Qin Xiao looked at the sheep and found that it had long since lost its breath.
Qin Xiao couldn't eat the mutton raw even if he was beaten to death. He forced a smile and said: "Uncle, I... I eat differently from you. You eat first, and I... I will handle it myself."
The old madman didn't waste any time, and bit into a few more pieces of meat, then threw down the leg of lamb, sat back in his seat, and remained silent.
Qin Xiao smelled the smell of blood, and thought of the old madman who looked like he was wearing hair and drinking blood, and his body felt cold. He really didn't know what kind of past this man had, and he had such a living habit.
The old madman misunderstood, thinking that Qin Xiao would not eat the leg of lamb, so he tore open the outer sheepskin to reveal the mutton inside, and took a bite. His gray beard was immediately stained red with blood. He chewed it with relish and handed the leg of lamb to him.
Qin Xiao, who saw him eating raw mutton, felt sick to his stomach and almost vomited.
He never expected that this old madman would eat raw mutton like a wild beast.
Seeing the strange look on Qin Xiao's face, the old madman tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
For now, it's better to be safe, just follow the old guy's hair and look for an opportunity to escape later.
The corpses were dragged out of the cave. Qin Xiao searched the corpses and found his own fish intestine thorns. In addition, he also found some banknotes from these people, but the amount was not large.
The total amount was only two to three hundred taels of silver. Qin Xiao naturally smiled and accepted it. As for the weapons on these people, he would naturally not move.
But one of them was wearing an oil paper bag, which contained some barbecue condiments. In addition to salt, there were sesame paste, cumin and chili powder, and even a small bottle of butter.
Although the cave is not narrow, the corpses of King An and others are still inside, and with the addition of a sheep, it seems quite crowded. Moreover, the smell of human and sheep blood permeates the cave, which is really disgusting.
Qin Xiao looked at the old madman and knew that he would not leave for a while. If the old guy didn't leave, he would definitely not be able to get away for the time being.
There are always corpses in this cave, which always makes people uncomfortable. He immediately dragged out the corpses of King An and others one by one. He dragged the corpses out, but the old madman ignored him. Qin Xiao tried to escape several times,
But he knew that the old madman was like a ghost, and he could explain it once before. If he found out that he was trying to escape secretly again, he might really annoy the old guy, and he couldn't reason with the old guy. He was angry and angry.
It is quite possible to slap yourself to death.
Qin Xiao's back felt cold when he looked at him, he hurriedly handed over the leg of lamb and said
: "Uncle, how about... you try it?"
The old madman was not polite. He reached out and took the leg of lamb, looking left and right, as if he saw something new and strange. Qin Xiao became more and more surprised, thinking to himself, had this person never eaten roasted leg of lamb?
Qin Xiao returned to the cave. He was really hungry at this time, but naturally he would not eat mutton raw. He cut off a sheep leg with a fish intestine thorn, removed the fur, took the big knife used by the assassin before, and skewered the lamb leg.
The blade of the knife was put on the fire and roasted.
After a while, I saw that the lamb was almost roasted. I sprinkled the seasonings and poured some butter on it. After a while, a leg of lamb was roasted and turned yellow, and the aroma was full of aroma.
At this moment, I saw the old madman suddenly turned around, sniffed with his nose straight up, suddenly stared at the leg of lamb on the knife, and slowly came closer. His eyes were like those of a wild beast seeing its prey.
The old madman looked satisfied and said to Qin Xiao: "It's delicious. You are a good person. It's very good." He pulled off another leg of lamb from the sheep and handed it to Qin Xiao. Then he pointed towards the fire. Qin Xiao naturally understood.
This old guy obviously wanted me to bake another one for him.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Qin Xiao had no choice but to do the same thing and bake another one. The old madman sat on the side and watched Qin Xiao grill the meat. The roast was not ready yet, so he wanted to reach out for it several times. Qin Xiao tried to persuade him, but the old madman refused.
Being obedient, after Qin Xiao handed it over after it was baked, the old madman immediately grabbed it and devoured it.
At this time, under the firelight, his appearance became clearer. Although his face was obscured by a beard, his appearance and outline were very similar to those of the Wutuo people, but he could speak the Central Plains dialect very smoothly.
The old madman stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of barbecue, put it into his mouth, and tasted it first. Soon his brows showed a look of joy, and he started choking on the devoured meat.
In the blink of an eye, there was a leg of lamb, except for the bones, there was no piece of meat left.
He cut half of the leg himself, roasted it and ate it, thinking about how to get out.
Why not lie to him that the world is in Xiling, let him follow you back to Xiling, and then find a way to escape after arriving in Xiling?
But if you think about it carefully, if you get to Xiling and can't get rid of this old madman, and you still can't find the knife he wants, he will definitely feel that you have deceived him, and the consequences will be really unimaginable.
Qin Xiao saw this and thought that this guy's appetite was really astonishing. If it were him, he would be full with half a leg of lamb, but this guy just ate two legs of lamb.
Fortunately, after finishing the two roasted lamb legs, the old madman finally had enough and said to Qin Xiao, "I'll eat it tomorrow." He turned around and continued to sit cross-legged and meditate.
Qin Xiao thought to himself, do you really think that I am a cook? After eating today, will you help you bake tomorrow?
Qin Xiao asked in surprise: "Who? You are so powerful in martial arts, how can you be defeated by others?" His body suddenly shook, he looked at the Blood Demon Knife on the ground and asked: "You mean, this knife...
Is this knife really yours?"
"It was mine a long time ago." The old madman said seriously: "But I lost, so naturally the broken sword can no longer be used, so I just threw it away and forgot where it was thrown. Only today did I know that it was stolen. It was stolen from me.
Knife, damn it."
This time, the old madman reacted. He turned around, tilted his head, and thought for a while, with a sad look on his eyebrows: "I don't remember, it seems like yesterday? And it seems... a long, long time ago."
, it’s been so long that I can’t remember it. I only remember that after I was defeated by him, he said that I had a knife in my hand, but it was not a real knife, it was just a broken knife. The broken knife... The broken knife is different from the real knife.
Very far, only by finding the real Heavenly Sword can we fight him again, and only by finding the real Heavenly Sword can we defeat him."
He was really afraid of this old madman to his core.
"Uncle, how long have you been looking for a knife?" The cave was silent and dull, and Qin Xiao finally couldn't help but ask.
His words were a little confusing, but at least he could make people understand his meaning.
"You...are you the Blood Demon Ancestor Zheng Qianqiu?" Qin Xiao opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
