The rain falls in front of the eaves, the raindrops make a crackling sound on the roof, and the rainwater rolls down the eaves, just like pulling up a foggy curtain hanging out of thin air, dividing the wooden house and the outside into two worlds. , even more revealing the frightening silence in the forest.
After using the dry food, the house became quiet again.
The other party was obviously a Miao, but pretended to be a Han. Qi Ning and others were naturally wary of this group of Miao people, and the other party was obviously wary of Qi Ning and his party. Both sides had scruples, so neither made a sound. Come.
Suddenly he heard a low cry from the other side, which seemed to be very painful. Qi Ning frowned immediately, but Qi Feng had already moved closer to Qi Ning's ear and lowered his voice: "Sir, there seems to be an injured person over there."
Qi Ning nodded slightly. Although the two sides did not speak, they observed each other calmly.
Although this small wooden house in the wild is not small, it is definitely not big. Although the two groups of people live on each side, and neither side has a fire, and the room is very dark, some of the other party's movements are still vague. Able to see clearly.
The other party borrowed a bamboo tube of wine. Qining knew from the evasiveness of the person when borrowing the wine that something was abnormal. When the person returned and took a closer look, he found that there seemed to be a person lying on the wooden floor over there. But his companions were surrounding him, so they couldn't see clearly what he was like.
However, when he heard the man scream, Qining quickly understood that the man lying on the floor must have been injured. His companion was treating his wound, and the purpose of borrowing the drink was that if nothing unexpected happened, It should be to disinfect the injured with strong alcohol. This is the most basic common sense for people who travel in the world.
There is no doubt that the origins of these Miao people are obviously extraordinary.
But one more thing is worse than one less thing. The other party showed no signs of provoking me, and there was no need to provoke the other party. Anyway, it was only one night here. After dawn, everyone went their own way without interfering with each other.
"Young master, you guys need to rest first." Qi Feng whispered, "I'll guard you first."
When you go out, you must be on guard against others. When two groups of people are under the same roof, even if they are resting, they must be cautious and keep an eye out.
After a day's journey, and the journey would continue tomorrow, it was natural to keep up the energy to ensure physical strength. Qining whispered a few instructions, then leaned against the wall of the wooden house, preparing to rest. As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard footsteps Hearing the sound, he cautiously opened his eyes, only to see the same person who just borrowed the wine walking back.
Qi Feng and others were immediately alert, but the man handed the bamboo tube back and said, "Thank you very much."
Qi Feng stretched out his hand to take it, and the man said: "How many of you are doing business in Shu? If so, I have a piece of advice, please consider it."
"What?" Qi Feng remained wary.
The man said: "It's not peaceful here. Danger can appear at any time. If you believe it, leave here immediately and go as far away as possible, otherwise... I'm afraid you will be implicated."
"Oh?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you saying there is danger here? Dare I ask, where does this danger come from?"
The man didn't explain much, just said: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. It's probably not too late to leave now. If the danger really comes and you want to leave... I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." Without another word, he turned and left.
Qi Feng moved to Qi Ning and whispered: "Master, are what he said true or false?"
Qi Ning said softly: "Some of them were injured, and it should be related to the danger he mentioned, but...!" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a roar from outside, like the howl of a beast.
The rain was heavy and the roof was crackling, but the wailing sound seemed to break through the wind and rain and penetrate clearly into everyone's ears.
At this moment, several people from the group opposite stood up suddenly, holding weapons in their hands.
"What's the sound?" Li Tang trembled and got up, but Qi Feng said: "You often go to Xichuan, can't you hear what the sound is?"
Li Tang smiled bitterly and said: "I am familiar with the roads of Xichuan and the origin of medicinal materials, but I don't know everything about Xichuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mournful howl sounded again, and this time the howl seemed to be closer than before.
Qining frowned, stood up and walked quickly to the window, raised his hand to open the window panel, and a gust of cold wind blew in from the outside. He had excellent eyesight, and when he looked up, he saw a figure heading towards him in the pouring rain. I couldn't say how fast I came from the wooden house, but in a moment, I was already outside the wooden house.
At this time, Qi Feng also leaned next to Qi Ning and looked out. When he saw the person coming, his color changed and he lost his voice: "What is that?"
In the heavy rain, I saw the figure who was extremely tall, burly and majestic, but his body was hunched forward. He seemed to have no hair, but his body was covered with long hair. A huge strange horn protruded from the top of his head. He was neither a cow nor a cow. The deer looked like a giant monster, but it stood on two feet. The giant monster held a huge weapon in its hand. It was raining heavily, and it was hard to see what it was for a while.
"Go from the back!" But he heard a voice from among the group of Miao people: "I'll stay and resist." As he said this, a burly Miao man held a big knife in his hand and was about to open the door and rush out.
"No, you are no match for him." At this time, a woman's voice unexpectedly sounded: "You guys leave from the back door immediately, and Ya Gan and I stay."
Qi Ning was greatly surprised. He turned around and looked over. At this time, he saw a woman walking over. This woman was tall and tall. Although her skin color was not fair, it was by no means black. It was a bronze color and she looked very healthy. On her arms, Afterwards, she held a long knife upside down. The blade was cold and contrasted with her eyebrows that looked like a distant mountain. There was a sense of heroism in her beauty.
This woman looks to be about twenty-three or four years old. Her appearance is different from that of Han women, but she is definitely a beauty. Qining has seen many beauties, but beauty full of ethnic customs like this is rare. But compared with the heroic appearance she exuded, her delicate face and slender figure did not seem so impressive. The dark room seemed to be lit up by her piercing eyes, suddenly becoming bright.
Qi Ning was surprised. Seeing the Miao people's reaction, he immediately understood that the monsters appearing outside must be targeting these Miao people.
"You guys should leave quickly." The woman turned her head and glanced at Qining. "If you want to survive, it depends on whether you have that kind of luck."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she heard the giant monster let out another mournful cry. He swung the huge weapon in his hand and rushed towards the door of the wooden house. This time, the speed was not slow. Everyone in the house was not ready to leave. There was a loud "boom", and the door of the wooden house was knocked in by the giant monster.
Sawdust flew into the air, and everyone dodged.
"Let's go!" The big Miao man named Ya Gan roared, raised the big knife in his hand, and struck the giant monster hard. The giant monster had already raised its arm, regardless of what Ya Gan was holding. The knife came towards him, and he just waved his arm, and the huge weapon in his hand was thrown towards Ya Gan.
Qi Ning's complexion suddenly changed at this time. He had excellent eyesight, but he could already see clearly what kind of monster this was. It was clearly a tall man with a height of nine feet, gnarled muscles, and all kinds of scars all over his body. He was carrying a huge iron tool like a long boulder. There was no fine workmanship. It was just a huge piece of pig iron. It was wide at the front and narrow at the back. The handle was slightly narrower. But such a fierce man didn't need it in his hands. What kind of magical weapon only needs such a piece of pig iron, and it is already of little power.
When the Miao people saw the giant man coming in, they knew they couldn't escape for a while, so they didn't hesitate. The three Miao people rushed up with weapons drawn, and they all waved to the giant man. The weapons made a loud noise amidst the sound of wind and rain.
Qi Feng and others also drew their weapons and protected Qi Ning. They were all surprised when they saw such a strange giant.
The giant man was extremely powerful. As he swung the pig iron in his hand, a strong wind blew. For a while, Yagan and the others were unable to get close at all. They could only dodge while looking for opportunities.
Both the Miao people and Qining knew clearly that the giant man's moves were not very clever, or even a move. Every time he made a move, he relied on his extraordinary strength to swing the pig iron. Although there was no routine at all, But the threat is huge. If you are hit by this pig iron, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
"Yifu, take Aqi and leave quickly." Yagan shouted loudly: "We stay...!" Before he could finish speaking, the giant man swung the iron at him again. Yagan hurriedly backed away, and the iron swept across the ground. The floor of this wooden house was made of wooden boards, and a crackling sound was heard, and a hole was opened in the floor by pig iron.
"Sir, what should we do?" Qi Feng saw the giant man's destructive power and frowned, "Do you want to help them?"
"We know nothing about their grievances." Qining said solemnly: "Don't interfere in other people's grievances easily. Let's leave here."
Qi Feng and others said so. Li Tang was also following Qi Ning at this time. While the giant man was fighting with Ya Gan and others, Qi Feng and others held weapons in their hands and slowly approached the gate. Wanting to take the opportunity to leave, they When I went there, I heard a scream, and then a figure flew straight over and landed heavily at the feet of Qi Feng and others.
Several people glanced at it, feeling horrified.
What was seen was a Miao man who landed on the ground. The chest and skull became abrupt planes, so that the eyes and nose could be clearly recognized, but the flat thing was not called a face at all.
Red-black blood, mixed with yellow human ointment and milky-white slurry, slowly overflowed from the corpse. Perhaps when the body was hit by the pig iron in the hand of the giant man, the moment the body exploded, it was hit by the huge man again. The power stagnated into a very stable state, so the overflowing body fluids flowed extremely slowly, and the smell of fat and blood mixed with it made people feel sick.
The giant man killed one person and let out a howl. The entire wooden house was trembling and shaking amidst the roar, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
