Sun Xiaomei's face darkened slightly, but she recovered immediately: "Monk Shi, I admit that you are very brave and have the courage to fight to the death. However, your life and death does not depend on you, but on Wu Zhao. At least, he and Ye Jin don't want you to die, right?"
I said in a deep voice: "Madam Sun, don't forget that there is a saying in this world: the net is broken and the fish is dead."
Sun Xiaomei was silent for a moment before she said, "I promise to give you some of the people. We will both stop fighting and do our own thing. We will only talk about the rules of martial arts and not use other means. Whoever has the last laugh will depend on their own ability. What do you think?"
"Okay!" It's not that I don't want to continue to seize the initiative, but in order to enter Miao territory as soon as possible, I don't have time to compete with the other party for every inch. It is enough to achieve the current level.
Lu Xiaoying suddenly said, "Wait a minute! When we got off the train, I think we said that someone must kneel, right? This is our additional condition."
Sun Xiaomei said coldly: "Wu Zhao has already agreed to reconcile, aren't you afraid of complications?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Lu Xiaoying said with a smile, "What I need to remind you is that every minute you delay is a waste of Sun Yifan's time, and the Sun family's assets will probably be reduced exponentially."
Sun Xiaomei said in a deep voice: "Jingwen, kneel down!"
Xie Jingwen looked at Sun Xiaomei with a pale face for a while, then he knelt down reluctantly: "Please forgive me."
Ye Jin waved his hand impatiently: "That's right. The handover will be at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go!"
Sun Xiaomei had probably never experienced this kind of attitude before, and her face turned pale with anger, but Ye Jin didn't even look at her. Sun Xiaomei was silent for a long time before she stood up and hit me three times in a row, saying coldly: "Let's go!"
Xie Jingwen quickly got up from the ground, but Xiao Yang stood there motionless. Sun Xiaomei said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yang, what are you doing?"
"Brother Yang?" Xie Jingwen touched him lightly, but Xiao Yang fell to the ground with a "thump", and black blood flowed out of his seven orifices. Xie Jingwen was shocked: "Brother Yang is dead! Is he poisoned?"
Xiao Yang did die suddenly from poisoning, but who poisoned him
Several of us looked at Monk Shi at the same time. He was the only person Xiao Yang had come into contact with since he came in.
Monk Shi spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I won't poison you."
I also know that Monk Shi would not poison someone. If he had the ability to kill a poison master silently, he would not have been tortured to death by the poison.
"Let's go!" Sun Xiaomei snorted coldly, left Xiao Yang's body behind and walked away.
None of us dared to touch Xiao Yang's body, so we could only let him lie on the ground. It was not until the next morning that we found a fire hook, dragged the body outside and burned it.
We had just cremated Xiao Yang's body when Sun Xiaomei and three other girls came over and said, "I'll leave these three to you."
I said in a deep voice: "Why are there no men?"
Sun Xiaomei smiled and said, "It seems that our agreement didn't mention whether it was a boy or a girl, right?"
Ye Jin said sternly: "How dare you cheat?"
Sun Xiaomei smiled and said, "I didn't. Everything was done according to the rules. What right do you have to accuse me of cheating? Of course, if you insist, you can also go to a respected old man of the art of martial arts for arbitration."
"You..." Ye Jin was so angry that he was fuming, but he had no other choice. We had already high-fived yesterday and swore an oath, which was equivalent to forming a contract between warlocks. As long as Sun Xiaomei followed the contract, we could not cancel the agreement.
I stopped Ye Jin and said, "No need to say more. Put them down and let them go."
Sun Xiaomei waved to the three girls and said, "From now on, you are Wu Zhao's employers. He will be responsible for your life and death. Don't worry, Wu Zhao is still a very good sorcerer. What happened on the train will not happen again. Just follow him."
The three girls' faces were already pale, and after hearing what she said, they turned even paler. They looked at Sun Xiaomei eagerly, hoping that she would change her mind. But Sun Xiaomei didn't even look at them, and left with her people.
I also knew that if I told them more now, the three girls would not easily believe me, but if I said nothing, it would be equally difficult to gain their trust. I hesitated for a while before speaking: "Three of you, don't be afraid. We will do our best to ensure your safety. All you have to do is follow us closely and tell us about the places you have visited during your travels."
One of the girls whispered, "When we travel, we follow Jiang Yan and his friends during the day. At night, they go out to play, sometimes without us."
"Asshole!" Ye Jin was so angry that he punched the wall hard, "I should have thought of this earlier!"
These girls don't look like ladies from a rich family. They are just playmates brought by Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan certainly won't take them with him when he goes out to have fun at night. However, the most likely time for trouble to happen is when they go out alone.
Sun Xiaomei has given us three useless people, and we have to divide our energy to protect their safety.
Ye Jin was so angry that he blurted out, "They are useless and are only a burden to keep around. Just send them back!"
“No! Please don’t…” The girl who spoke burst into tears immediately, “The one surnamed Sun said that she won’t wait for us. If Mr. Wu doesn’t take us in, we can only go back and wait to die.”
I took a deep breath and said, "Just follow me. We have to face it together, whether it's a blessing or a curse."
When Ye Jin saw the three girls crying, his heart softened and he went to pack his things without saying a word. When we were about to get close to Fenghuang County, we discovered a problem - the three girls didn't know the way.
Actually, think about it, few people will look at the scenery along the way when traveling. They are either chatting or sleeping. Who would deliberately remember where they have been? The only thing the three girls could remember was that they did not enter the county town at that time, but bypassed the county town and went directly to a Miao village under the arrangement of a tour guide. But none of them remembered how to get to the village.
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lu Xiaoying, try to figure out where we should go."
Calculating the direction is actually a kind of gambling. For example, Lu Xiaoying calculated that our life force is in the east, but she couldn't figure out what exactly is our life force. What can bring us life force may be a person, a book, or even a stone.
Neither I nor Lu Xiaoying have the ability to see the thing directly, so we can only rely on guessing. If we guess right, we may find a glimmer of hope; if we guess wrong, we will just watch the opportunity slip away before our eyes.
None of us can tell how high the probability is, so we can only rely on luck. This is why we repeatedly want to compete with Sun Xiaomei for resources.
Not long after Lu Xiaoying activated the Heaven-Defying Hand, he pointed to the southwest and said, "Go that way."
Ye Jin, who was driving, was stunned: "There's not even a road over there, where do you want me to look for it?"
Lu Xiaoying said coldly: "We have to go even if there is no way out. That is the only chance of survival."
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Ye Jin stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto the mountain beside the road.
The front is just like what Ye Jin said, there is nothing but weeds and bushes, not even a narrow path. It is obvious that no one has passed by for many years, and the car can only move forward little by little by pressing the bushes...
Not long after Ye Jin drove the car out, I suddenly heard a muffled "bang" sound from under the wheel. Ye Jin slapped the steering wheel: "It's a flat tire! I'm going to get out..."
Before Ye Jin finished speaking, I heard a buzzing sound coming from under the car, and the next moment, swarms of wild bees swarmed out from under the car.
"Close the window!" I was so frightened that I tried to roll up the window desperately, but it wouldn't close. Lu Xiaoying rushed over from behind with my backpack and blocked the window, which was enough to block the wild bees outside.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a scream from behind - a girl was stung on the hand by a wild bee because she was a step slower. The back of her hand suddenly became swollen, and she was covering the wound and crying loudly.
Lu Xiaoying held onto the backpack tightly and said, "Wu Zhao, go over and take a look. I'll hold it here. Ye Jin, drive back quickly!"
"The car won't start!" When Ye Jin yelled anxiously, I had already rushed to the girl.
A red bump the size of a steamed bun had already swollen on her wrist, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. I pinched her wrist, cut her skin with a dagger, sucked out the blood with my mouth, and spat the poisonous blood on the ground, but the girl's wound didn't get better at all, and even the skin around her turned dark red.
After I sucked in several mouthfuls of poisonous blood, the girl actually fainted.
"Where's the antidote? Who has it?" I was so anxious that I was sweating all over. Ye Jin was also busy helping me apply medicine on the girl's wound. It was not until Ye Jin gave the girl two sips of medicinal wine that her breathing became more even.
Ye Jin supported the girl and said, "No, my medicine is just a common one and it can't suppress the bee venom. We have to take her to see a doctor immediately."
When I turned around and looked outside, wild bees, about the length of a finger, had already densely covered the entire car window. We could hardly see what was happening outside. What was even worse was that a large number of wild bees were still desperately biting at Lu Xiaoying's backpack that was blocking the window. Once the backpack was bitten by them, tens of thousands of wild bees would rush in, and at that time, we would not be able to escape even if we wanted to.
I have heard before that there are wild bees that build their nests on the ground. The largest hive can weigh up to thirty or forty kilograms. These wild bees are also extremely ferocious. Once disturbed, they will swarm out of the nest and will not stop until they sting the opponent to death.
Ye Jin must have crushed the beehive while driving, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many wild bees.
Shi Heshang, who was lying on the back seat, said weakly: "Hold on, as long as we hold on until night, the wild bees will fly away and we will be fine."
One girl cried out, "But Xu Shitong can't hold on any longer!"
