The five sat around the table. Lianxin is holding a thick porcelain jug to pour wine, and the wine slurry poured into the porcelain bowl is light red and has a strong medicinal smell. Yan Dan looked at the porcelain bowl in front of her, and her eyes were straight: if she was not mistaken, this wine was realgar wine that could be smelled and tasted.
"This wine is home-brewed, and it won't be too strong. You can drink it with confidence, Miss Yan." Lian Xin said immediately when she saw her expression. The white-haired old woman who was sitting on the side also said, "We prepared all the medicinal materials at home, but the yellow wine was called from the village. Alas, we don't have a male in our family, and life is a bit difficult, so... this yellow wine You can't buy better ones, little girl, if you dislike it, don't drink it."
Yan Dan hurriedly shook his head: "Why do you dislike it? The Dragon Boat Festival is all about drinking realgar wine to ward off evil spirits." She held up the porcelain bowl tremblingly, smelling the choking realgar smell, and was about to pour her heart into her throat. Shari stretched out a hand, took the wine bowl in her hand, and drank it.
Yan Dan was stunned: "Yu Mo..."
Yu Mo said lightly, "She doesn't know how to drink, she will get drunk after a sip."
Yan Dan said blankly, "You..."
"When she's drunk, she'll just mess around, so I'll drink it for her." Yu Mo picked up the wine bowl in front of him again, and drank his head up.
Yan Dan murmured: "Two bowls, to ward off evil spirits, it's too late..."
The old woman narrowed her eyes, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out: "Little girl, this young master is so kind to you, you must keep it in your heart." Yan Dan's hand trembled, and she saw that she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a yellow croaker and put it on the Yu Mo Wanli: "Eat more while it's hot."
Yan Dan turned to look at Yu Mo, he just frowned slightly, his face remained calm. She hurriedly stretched out her chopsticks and said softly, "Master, can you give me the fish in your bowl?"
Yu Mo looked at her, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Are you too lazy to pick the thorns?" He took out the largest fish bone, and then picked out the tiny thorns, and was about to put the fish meat into her bowl, only to see that the lotus heart was already fast. He added a yellow croaker for Yan Dan, removed the skin and bones, and said a little ashamedly, "I should have picked a bigger fish, and the thorns wouldn't be so thin."
Yan Dan opened his mouth, a thousand words twisted in his throat and went down again.
"What about the biggest fish? Sis, you waited until everyone else picked out the ones that no one wanted before picking them up!"
Lian Xin's face flushed to the base of her ears, and she murmured, "You two, I'm really sorry, I, I..."
Yan Dan hurriedly said: "The smaller the fish is, the more delicious it is, but the bigger it is, it will not be so easy to taste." She tasted the fish in the bowl and smiled slightly: "It's delicious, really."
Yu Mo hesitated for a while, and when he raised his head slightly, he saw the earnest gaze of the old woman, so he had to slowly drop the chopsticks. Yan Dan watched him slowly put the fish into his mouth, and sympathy arose spontaneously.
But seeing Yu Mo slowly finish eating a fish, the old woman immediately asked, "How do you feel?" Yu Mo nodded and said, "It's delicious." The old woman stretched out her hand and added another one for him, smiling all over her face. Said: "If you think it's delicious, eat more!"
"...Cough." Yan Dan choked.
"Are you... feeling better?" Yan Dan reached out and stroked Yu Mo's back, who was retching from the side of the boat, "I made tea, why don't you drink a few sips while it's still hot to help you digest your food." They When he came out of that family, Yu Mo was still looking as usual, but he turned a corner. He immediately turned pale, staggered to the stream, stuck his fingers in his throat and vomited. .
Yu Mo grabbed her fingers and slowly exerted force. The force was so painful that it pierced into the bone marrow, and Yan Dan almost cried out in pain. The fingers are connected to the heart, being held by him like this, even with her, it's uncomfortable.
"You have a lot of cold sweat on your forehead," Yan Dan touched his forehead and wiped away the sweat with his sleeve, "Shanzhu, why don't you go inside and lie down?"
Yu Mo shook his head, unable to speak. Yan Dan thought to himself that after drinking two bowls of realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival, he also ate untouchable fish, so it would be good to be able to support him without an immediate demon transformation. She sighed, after all, one of the bowls of realgar wine was for her: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have bothered with this business at all."
Yu Mo slowly turned his head to look at her, there were faint blue-black scales appearing on his side face, and a black totem like a flame spread up on his neck. He closed his eyes, his dark eyes turned slightly red, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Are you actually embarrassed..."
Yan Dan stared at the totem on his neck, couldn't help but stretched out his fingers and touched it: "You... are a relic of the ancients, no wonder..." Yu Mo suddenly held her hand and protected her under him. This is too fast, and his movements are also very powerful, Yan Dan only feels a few drops of warm liquid splash on his cheeks, and his eyes are red. In the corner of her vision, there were also some bloodstains slowly spilling on the board.
Yu Mo didn't even frown, grabbed the short sword in his sleeve, turned around and stabbed it out.
With a loud bang, a man with black water dripped blood from his heart and fell into the Huanhua River, with layers of red blood streaking on the water. Yu Mo knelt on one knee on the bow of the boat, brushed his sleeves, and saw a cyan firework burning on the stream, and the man's body immediately turned to ashes.
Yan Dan stretched out his hand and pressed it on his back, chanting a spell in his mouth, only to see the pale light slowly faint, but Yu Mo's wound just stopped bleeding, not even a scab. For a moment, she remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival, and their sorcery was greatly damaged, and her healing spell was useless.
Yu Mo sighed lightly: "It's my fault that I didn't expect that there will be assassins coming later, let's go to the cabin."
Yan Dan responded, took out a jacket, and tore it to cover Yu Mo's wounds, while the rest of the cloth wiped off the blood on the ship's board.
Yu Mo looked at the curtain at the hatch of the ship and said softly, "Pull up the curtain a little and hang it up."
Yan Dan hung up the curtain and gently dragged the blanket over him: "Shanzhu, take a break, I will deal with it if anything happens."
Yu Mo looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "Alright."
Yan Dan sat next to him, leaning on his chin and thinking, when did they get into such a big trouble that someone would send assassins to hunt them down? After thinking about it, it was only the time I met Pei Luo and the others. Now the bloodstains have also been cleaned up, and the assassin's body has also been burned by Yu Mo. Yu Mo asked her to hang the boat curtain, but it was just an empty city plan.
She turned her head to look at Yu Mo, who was curled up in the blanket, only to feel more and more headaches. If Bailing saw that he had a wound on his back, would she miss her alive? This, it should be for sure... But the most important thing right now is to spend the Dragon Boat Festival safely first. As long as she stayed up until midnight, she would not worry about dozens of assassins coming.
After thinking for a while, Yan Dan put Yu Mo's dagger into his sleeve, then took out a wooden tub and stuffed a few pieces of clothes into it. He walked to the bow of the boat and slowly washed his clothes.
Seeing the sun slanting westwards and the dazzling sunset on the horizon, tomorrow will definitely be another sunny day. Yan Dan wringed the washed clothes, then laid them flat and straightened. As far as mortals who learn martial arts are concerned, when the two sides confront each other, they have already calculated the distance, strength, and timing of the shot. After the shot, it must be aimed at the weakness of others. But to Yan Dan, these are meaningless. She is not a mortal, and she has never practiced martial arts. No matter how she hides it, there are a lot of flaws in her body.
As soon as she put the flat clothes into the wooden basin, she felt a strong murderous aura. It's finally here! Yan Dan dodged sideways, only to hear the sound of Duo, a soft knife as thin as a cicada's wings was slashing beside her. Yan Dan reached out and held Yu Mo's dagger, hesitated for a moment, but rolled to the side. Seeing that she was dodging but not fighting back, the black-clothed assassin was timid when he wanted to come to her side, and his momentum was even stronger. The blade even flashed, and he almost hit her several times.
Yan Dan saw that the knife lost its aim again and was about to slash at the wooden basin holding the clothes. Suddenly, he had an idea and flicked his fingers at the wooden basin, and the basin turned into an iron plate in broad daylight. The assassin didn't react at all. He slashed on the iron plate with a knife. When the blade and the iron plate were connected, there was a clear sound of gold and iron. Sparks splashed around. 's lower abdomen.
Yan Dan sighed and murmured: "So why do you say that you must bring a thick-backed iron-ringed big sword for this business without capital, although it is a bit ugly..." As soon as the voice fell, the iron swishing sound changed back to a wooden basin. The Dragon Boat Festival is really unusual, and even her sorcery won't last long. She watched half of the man's body fall into the stream, moved over slowly, pushed his weapon into the stream, and pulled out the blade stuck in his lower abdomen, blood splashing on her clothes Open a little bright red. Yan Dan casually wiped his face, touched the dagger in his sleeve, and calmed down a bit.
Just based on her current strength, she can't compete with mortal men at all, and there is only one chance to sneak a sneak attack, but what if there are three or five people later
She was distressed when she saw a woodcutter approaching with a bundle of firewood tied to her back. At this time, it is not unusual for villagers to come here, but for Yan Dan, it is a wave of unresolved, wave after wave. The woodcutter approached, staring at the floating corpses in the Huanhua River and the green water that was dyed light red, his legs softened, his face pale, he lay on the ground and shook for a long time, saying, "Mom , Damn... you, you... King of the Mountain, spare your life, spare your life..."
Yan Dan snorted twice and said with a sullen face, "Do I look like a king of the mountain?"
"No, no... yes, yes, a heroine!"
Yan Dan smiled slightly: "It's not too bad." Just as she finished speaking, her face sank again, putting on the appearance of a bully: "If you want to survive, go where you want, don't shout!"
The woodcutter shivered and crawled on the ground for a while, and said with a sad face, "Female, female hero, the little one can't crawl..."
Yan Dan sighed. Just now, at the juncture of life and death, she was able to support her with one breath, but now she has let out her breath, and she has no strength to stand up. At this moment, I am still too busy to take care of myself, how can I have the time to care about the life and death of this mortal? She slowly calmed down and thought about countermeasures, and suddenly saw a black figure coming along the Huanhua Stream. The man walked slowly, with a wonderful rhythm between his steps. He saw the corpse floating on the stream, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't stop, walking slowly to the front of the boat.
Yan Dan couldn't help but think, looking at that person's movement skills, he must be more capable than the previous one, and he was more cautious. If he played some clever tricks, he would definitely be exposed. However, this kind of person is cautious and cautious, I am afraid that the suspicion is too serious. She smiled slightly at the black-robed assassin, and her face became even more beautiful in an instant.
The assassin was stunned and took two steps back. Yan Dan sat on the boat and looked at him without blinking: "I'm no longer your opponent, can you give me a treat?" The man was even more shocked, stepped forward cautiously, and suddenly The sword slid across her arm, then jerked back. Yan Dan snorted, and reached out to cover the wound, but blood continued to seep from between her fingers. The assassin saw that she still did not move. Knowing that she was really not his opponent, he stepped forward with confidence: "Do you want me to give you a treat?"
Yan Dan bit her lip and glanced into the cabin: "I'm lowly capable, and I can't be half as good as my son. If you want to deal with me, just one finger is enough."
"Wouldn't it be better if I used you to force your son out?"
Yan Dan hurriedly said, "My son is ill, otherwise why would you be so arrogant?" She covered her mouth in a panic.
"Sick? Well, I'll give you a treat!" The tip of the sword stabbed towards Yan Dan's heart, only to see her suddenly pounce. This sword fell in the air, but she was already close at hand, and it was impossible to turn the long sword over and hurt her. Yan Dan pulled out his dagger and stabbed the man's chest with a puff. She thought it would take a lot of force, but she didn't expect Yu Mo's sword to be extremely sharp, and it pierced several points at once.
Yan Dan gasped for breath, and before he had time to push the assassin away, he suddenly heard a cold wind blowing from the back of his head. As soon as she turned around, she was almost crushed under the corpse. Yan Dan looked at the blade of the sword that pierced into his belly in disbelief, and slowly looked up along the blade, the woodcutter was looking at her with a smile: "You really have no skill, but you can kill me. The two companions are amazing." He retracted his long sword, wiped the blood on the edge of the sword with his sleeve, and turned to lift the curtain outside the cabin.
He was about to bend over and walk in, when suddenly his back felt cold, followed by a sharp pain slowly overflowing his body. He turned his head and saw Yan Dan struggling to stand up, his arms slightly raised, and the dagger in his hand had been thrown. The man was self-supporting, rushed in front of her, raised his long sword and was about to slash at her.
Yan Dan raised her wrist, her pale green sleeve slipped down to her elbow, and a stream of blood was dripping from her thin white arm. Lifting the arm of the corpse on the boat: "You stabbed here with that sword just now."
Yan Dan's tone was flat: "You want to know why I see that you and those two assassins are in the same group, and you are still the leader?" She looked directly at each other, and said slowly: "There is no malicious person approaching. When it comes to others, you won't be so careful. If you don't have the intention of harming others, if you are just an ordinary woodcutter, how can you be wary of me?"
The man couldn't help but murmured: "So..." As soon as he spoke, he let out a breath, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground. As soon as he fell, Yan Dan immediately coughed again and again, and it took a while to recover, muttering: "It's obvious that I'm almost out of breath, and I have to hold my breath to talk to him, cough... cough, damn... "
The setting sun finally slowly set, and the cool evening wind came blowing with damp water vapor. Yan Dan stretched slightly, and began to feel that the magic on her body was slowly returning. She raised her wrist, first used a spell to heal the wound, then changed the blood-stained coat on her body, pushed the two corpses into Huanhua Stream, and brought a basin of water to wipe off the blood on the boat.
She packed everything in front of her, knelt on the side of the boat, looked at the three corpses floating on the stream, folded her hands together, and said softly: "Let those who are dull and innocent, stay away from ignorance and darkness, do not grow greed, and do not suffer from greed. The sound and dust are bound..." The water of Huanhua Stream was turbulent, and the white kangaroos bloomed slowly, and the fragrance was elegant.
"Let the dangerous road be calm and not doomed... The six roots will disappear." She released her tightly closed palms, and saw that the large lotus flowers were slowly withering again, and a pale halo opened on the Huanhua River, with the three The corpses turned to dust together.
Yan Dan leaned on the side of the boat and looked at it, and couldn't help but say, "I used to think this spell was difficult to read and useless, but now it looks surprisingly good..."
