A Clash of Gods

Chapter 366: Cross the river

Views:

Dandu Gu kept his companion in mind, endured the pain of the wound, and went out to check on his companion's injury. The bald head hall leader quickly came in with a bloody sword and said: "Little hero, I... I have already healed." That bastard, this will never happen again... in the future."

"Remember, this is not a place for you to do evil." Qi Ning said lightly: "With this wooden building as the center, within a radius of a hundred miles, if I see you again, you know the consequences."

The bald head hall leader hurriedly said: "We are leaving now, and we will never dare to come again." He waved his hands to signal his men to leave.

"Don't leave in a hurry." Qi Ning said: "You are misbehaving here and you don't want to make up for it? Come on, take out all the money you have. If you dare to leave a penny on you, I will kill you all."

Several people hurriedly took out all the banknotes and cash on their bodies. There were as many as a hundred taels of silver in cash, and there were also hundreds of taels of banknotes.

Qi Ning was not polite. He put the banknotes into his arms and waved to the people in Wupintang to get out. As they were about to leave, Qi Ning shouted: "If you don't take away the bodies of your own people, what are you doing here?" ?”

The few people had no choice but to take off their clothes and wrap them around the corpse, fearing that the corpse was poisonous. Then they carried the corpse out with all their hands and feet. After a while, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and the Wupintang group left in embarrassment. .

Qi Ning then dropped his sword, turned around, raised his hands to the old man of the Miao family and said, "Old man, I'm really sorry for frightening you."

The old man of the Miao family came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Young man, if it weren't for you today, it would be...!" But he didn't know what to say, and he was full of gratitude.

A Ling also said hurriedly: "Brother, thank you." Then she said to Eve: "Sister, thank you very much."

Eve said: "A-Ling, I don't know if those people will come back to take revenge. We can't stay here any longer." She glared at Qining and said, "You don't want to kill those evil people either."

"Evil people will have their own evil retribution. If they don't die in my hands, they will die somewhere else." Qining said: "Old man, take the money here first and find other places to settle it. But they should not dare to do it again." Come back, you can wait and come back later.”

The old man of the Miao family shook his head and said: "This is not our money, we cannot accept it."

Qi Ning thought to himself that the Miao family was really simple. This hundred taels of silver was not a small sum for the Miao people who lived in the mountains. He smiled and said: "Those guys made this place a mess. This is the money they compensated. The old man must accept it. That’s right, after we cross the river, we won’t have any use for the horses, so I’ll give them to you.”

The old man of the Miao family said: "You guys came here on horseback because you must have something to do. The horses can be left here for now. When you go back, if you still need a mount, I can take care of it for you."

However, Eve came over, looked at Qining, leaned closer and lowered her voice: "Who are you?"

Qi Ning was amused, thinking that both of them had been married several times, but until now neither of them knew the other's details. He also leaned close to Eve's ear and whispered: "Good sister, how could you forget that I am you?" My lover, little brother, are you going to abandon me all the time?"

Eve gritted her teeth, and at this moment, she saw Dandu Gu coming in with his companion in his arms, with a serious look on his face, and the Miao man in his arms had already passed out.

Dandu Gu looked at Qi Ning and said, "Thank you for your help today. I, Dandu Gu, will remember the life-saving grace in my heart. If I have the opportunity, I will repay you."

"Don't take it to heart." Qi Ning stepped forward and saw that the Miao man's face was pale, but fortunately he was still breathing. He was secretly glad that the bald hall master's kung fu was not perfect yet. If he had been replaced by a powerful person, that blow would have been fatal. , but although it was not fatal, the Miao man was obviously seriously injured. He asked: "How is he doing?"

Dandu Gu looked solemn and said: "He was seriously injured, and it won't kill him, but he will need to recover for a long time, and he must be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible."

The old man from the Miao family came forward and said, "I still have herbs here. You are also injured, so hurry up and stop the bleeding." He told A'ling, "A'ling, hurry up and get the herbs to treat the injury."

Dandu said: "Thank you very much."

The old man from the Miao family sighed, "It's you and we who are like this. I'm so sorry." Seeing the rain outside weakening, he said to Qining and Eve, "The rain will stop soon. I'll send you across the river right away."

Dandu Gu glanced at Qining and asked: "You want to cross the river? Where are you going? Across the river is Xishan, and over there is the Shangshui Cave Miao Village. Are you going to Shangshui Cave?"

Qi Ning didn't say anything. Seeing that Miao Han acted righteously and that he was from the Miao family, Eve didn't hide it and said, "We are going to see the Miao King."

"Oh?" Dandu Gu looked at Qining a few times, frowned and asked, "You are not a Miao, are you a Han?"

Qi Ning knew that he was wearing Miao clothes, and the people in Wupintang might not be able to tell, but as a Miao, Dandu Gu could naturally tell, and nodded: "Yes, I am from the Han family, but now I am Half Miao...!" He looked at Eve and was about to speak. Eve knew what he was going to say next, so she hastily interrupted: "He is not a bad person, he is different from other Han people."

"Which hole are you from?" Dandu Gu stared at Eve.

After listening to Dandu Gu's repeated questions, Eve was still a little wary and said, "This is not important."

Dandu Gu naturally knew that Eve didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask further questions. He just said, "King Damiao is old, and he doesn't meet everyone. I only hope that you can really meet him during your trip to Xishan." Without saying much, he said to the old man of the Miao family: "Bacha was seriously injured and cannot cross the river. He must rest here. Is there a place to lie down?"

The old man of the Miao family said hurriedly: "It's upstairs." He led Dandu Gu upstairs.

After a while, the old man from the Miao family came downstairs. The rain outside had stopped. As expected by the old man from the Miao family, it was just a heavy rain.

Eve was anxious to go to see the Miao King. When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, she wanted to cross the river. The old man of the Miao family also saw Eve's anxiety and said, "We are going to cross the river now. You can get on the boat with me."

Without delay, the two of them left the wooden building and arrived at the riverside. The old man of the Miao family neatly untied the rope, jumped on the boat, and summoned the two of them to board.

Although the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the waves on the river were still quite undulating. Fortunately, the old man from the Miao family had excellent boating skills, so it didn't take long to cross the river by ferry.

Approaching the other side, the old man of the Miao family said: "Don't worry, I will take care of the horses for you over there. No matter how long it takes, you can take them away when you come back."

"Old man, thank you very much." Qi Ning took another banknote from his arms. This banknote was not his, so it was not a pity. He handed it over. The old man of the Miao family shrank back and waved his hand hurriedly. : "No, no."

Qi Ning didn't say much, put the banknote into the arms of the old man from the Miao family, took Eve's hand, and jumped to the shore. The old man from the Miao family hurriedly said: "When will you come back? I'll come over often and wait for you to come back." Pick you up."

"If we haven't come here tomorrow, there's no need to wait." Eve said.

The old man from the Miao family hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Young Master, when you get to Xishan, be more careful. It's best... it's best not to let others know that you are from the Han family."

"Why is this?" Qining frowned.

The old man of the Miao family said: "Actually, nothing happened before, but since the end of last year, the Xishan Miao Village has been very careful with the Han family. As long as a Han family comes near Xishan, the Miao villagers will keep an eye on them. Anyway... alas , anyway, you should be more careful, but with Miss Eve, they won't make things too difficult for you." He didn't say much, just nodded slightly at Qining, turned around and left in the boat.

Qining was thoughtful, Eve said from the side: "Actually... Actually, you don't have to go. Why don't you wait for me here, I...!"

"You can't give up all the time." Qining said with a smile: "You want to leave me and run away alone? That's not possible. Such a beautiful lady, I can't let you run away like this."

Eve was angry and funny, but she also knew that Qining cared about her, but she still had a trace of doubt in her heart, and asked: "Tell me, who are you? Don't joke. Do you dare to promise that you will go to Miao with me?" The village has no... no other purpose?"

Qi Ning frowned and said, "Do you think I am using you to get close to the Damiao King?"

"I...!" Eve heard the displeasure in Qining's tone and knew that her suspicion made Qining dissatisfied. She sighed: "I have thought about it, but... But I don't think you are a bad person."

Qi Ning laughed and said: "Do you know that our Han family has a saying, which is that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. It doesn't matter whether I am a good person or a bad person. What is important is that even if I am a bad person, you must be a bad person. Daughter-in-law, follow the bad guys and do bad things." After a pause, he said: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards the Miao family. You will know who I am sooner or later. Before that, I am your dearest lover and little brother. , and you overestimate me too much, even if I am really good at both civil and military affairs, if I have any ill intentions towards the Miao family or even the Miao King, I would not dare to go deep into the dragon's pond and tiger's den alone, wouldn't that be asking for death?"

Eve knew in her heart that what Qin Ning said was true. When she saw Qin Ning's sincere smile, she also knew that she had wrongly blamed him, and said: "Yes... it's my fault. I'm suspicious. Don't take it to heart."

Qi Ning chuckled, moved closer, and said, "It's really your fault. You can't even trust your lover, your little brother. How should I punish you?"

"Punish me?"

Qi Ning said sternly: "Yes, I am a practical person. It is not enough to admit my mistakes verbally. I must take practical actions."

"What... what practical action?"

Qining leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice: "If things are completed smoothly, let's find a place to try out the position you were unwilling to do last night. If you haven't tried it before, you don't know that some positions are very enjoyable. , I guarantee you will be in ecstasy... Ah, you... you stepped on my foot... the most poisonous woman has a heart, you... you are so cruel...!"

Eve blushed and said bitterly: "I'd better trample you to death for a bad guy like you. If you talk nonsense next time, I'll trample you even harder." She turned around, stepped out with two slender legs, and headed towards the rolling stream. The mountain walked away quickly.
