Outside of Time

Chapter 10: new clothes

Views:

In the March season, although the earth is getting warmer, it is still a bit cold.

If you have just come out of the restricted area, you will not feel anything about this cold, but if you have been outside for a long time, your body will still feel the slightest chill.

Especially at night, the coldness is even heavier.

As the cold wind blew, Xu Qing's figure did not stop at all, but just wrapped the leather jacket tightly around him.

He still has things to do, so he carefully shuttled through the camp in the dark.

On the way, I saw some wild dogs, baring their teeth at him, but after meeting his eyes, they seemed to notice the bloody smell on his body, and they all shut up and hid.

Xu Qing looked away from the wild dog and moved on.

When he arrived at a house in the central area, he squatted in the dark and motionless, staring at a large house in the distance.

There is an extinguished bonfire.

Xu Qing remembered that Fat Mountain, who was separated from Ma Si, went here, so he wanted to wait and see if the other party would go out at night.

The icy chill invaded the whole body, but Xu Qing's figure seemed to be petrified, standing there, not moving at all, waiting patiently.

Behind him, on the roof of a building, the seventh master and his servants also followed, looking at Xu Qing who was squatting over there, the seventh master smiled.

"Sure enough, as I expected, this little wolf cub is about to kill the rhythm."

"The old man is looking forward to it now. If this kid enters the restricted area next to him, what will he do there?" The seventh master squatted down, watching with interest, while talking to the servant beside him.

The servant smiled and squatted beside the seventh master, looking at Xu Qing in the distance.

Seeing the passage of time, and half an hour passed, Xu Qing frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and left in the dark, the whole person was like a ghost, coming and going silently.

Instead of returning to the Thunder Team's residence immediately, they circled the neighborhood.

After confirming that no one was following, Xu Qing slid into Lei Team's yard and quietly returned to his hut.

After entering, he took a deep breath and rubbed his hands, as if to dispel the cold from his body with this action.

Then he wiped the blood on his body, and then sat cross-legged on the bed with thought in his eyes.

"These scavengers need to go out from time to time, and the horses are lustful, so as long as the time is not long, no one should notice his death, and there is a high probability that Fat Shan will not be alert."

"But in order to be safe, we must kill Fat Mountain as soon as possible." Xu Qing narrowed his eyes.

Just like killing Canniu, he grew up in a slum and does not allow hidden dangers that threaten his life around him.

Killing Ma Si was because the other party robbed him of his belongings and threatened him, preparing to deal with Fat Mountain, which was also the reason.

After pondering, Xu Qing dug out Ma Si's belongings from the leather bag and checked it carefully.

Most of them are debris, and there is an iron block the size of a palm, nothing surprising, like a material.

In addition, there are more than 70 spirit coins, which is already a huge sum of money for Xu Qing.

He counted it carefully, then took out the Baidan, and after comparing his own Baidan with Ma Si, he found that these Baidan were not fresh in texture.

So he believed what the grocery store owner said in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qing took one out and swallowed it, then closed his eyes and felt silently.

Soon he felt a warm current rising in his body, and finally converged on the alienation point of his left arm, giving him a sense of comfort.

After a long while, when this feeling disappeared, Xu Qing opened his eyes and immediately looked towards his left arm, the two alienation points there were slightly lighter, and the tingling sensation was also a little less.

"It works." Xu Qing's eyes flashed with joy, and she took out the second one and swallowed it.

The same feeling continued to resurface, until it dissipated again, and his tingling disappeared with it.

There was a sense of pure spirit in the whole body, which was very comfortable, as if the flesh and blood had been washed, making Xu Qing feel that his speed and strength seemed to be stronger.

He did not continue to take the remaining Bai Dan, put it in the leather bag, closed his eyes and started to practice.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Xu Qing opened his eyes and got up to go out.

As soon as he opened the door of the house, he saw Thunder Team cross-legged in the yard, as if breathing.

Xu Qing didn't bother, she gently opened the door to the yard and closed it carefully before walking away.

Today's wind seems to be colder than last night, and it not only makes people tremble when it blows, but even those wild dogs hide in their holes and rarely go out.

Xu Qing could see the fog appearing in his breath, which brought back some bad memories in his mind when he was in the slum.

He hates the cold.

Because the cold is a catastrophe for a homeless child who sleeps and sleeps in the wind, and needs to struggle hard to survive.

Therefore, Xu Qing, who was passing by a clothing store in the cold, paused involuntarily and looked at the thick and clean clothes hanging in the store.

He felt the bulging leather bag, turned and walked in.

There were not many people in the shop, Xu Qing came in and looked at the hanging clothes seriously.

On the side of the cabinet, the store owner glanced at Xu Qing, didn't care too much, and ordered with the guy next to him.

"Go to the back and sort it out. Take out the custom-made clothes that you haven't picked up for a month, hang them up and sell them."

"What if the person who ordered the clothes comes back?" The man seemed to be new and hesitated for a while.

"Come back? People disappear from time to time in the camp. Some die in the restricted area, and some disappear inexplicably. The only ones who can come back are ghosts, hurry up."

The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently, and the guy hurried to the back hall.

Soon, before Xu Qing had chosen the clothes, the man came out with a lot of clothes. After hanging them up, Xu Qing saw a dark suede coat at a glance.

It was the clothes that others ordered but could never come back to pick up.

After a stick of incense, when Xu Qing walked out of the shop, he was wearing that dark suede fur coat.

The clothes were cold and not heavy, and they were much warmer than Xu Qing's previous clothes.

Only because he is thin and small, he looks like a coat on his body, which is very incongruous.

But Xu Qing was very happy, and he carefully avoided some dirty places on the road.

When he was about to look for Fat Mountain, he noticed outside the camp, there were cluttered noises, and at the same time, many of the scavengers in the camp came out, looking forward to approaching the direction of the sound.

Xu Qing also looked up.

Gradually, he saw that under the sunlight, a convoy of more than ten carriages was heading here in a mighty manner.

2kxs.la

The people sitting on it, even the guards, were all dressed in extremely bright clothes, with ruddy complexions, brighter eyes, and most of them had amazing spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies.

As for what was in the carriage, Xu Qing couldn't see it, but he could guess that it must be a very distinguished person.

Xu Qing had heard from Team Lei about such a convoy, and it seemed that they would often come to the camp, either to trade, or to purchase the buckeye for refining Baidan.

The figure of Fat Shan also appeared in the crowd. After attracting Xu Qing's attention, he no longer paid attention to the team, but narrowed his eyes, stared at Fat Shan, and began to follow.

It's just that maybe it was the arrival of the convoy. The camp was very lively all day, and a market was formed. Xu Qing never found a chance.

Until late at night, he watched Fat Shan return to the big house again, so he put away the dagger in his sleeve and turned to leave.

Although he didn't have a chance to make a move that day, Xu Qing was very patient. After returning to the hut, he meditated and practiced wearing newly bought clothes, even when he was sleeping.

It was only after dawn again that he, who was about to go out looking for opportunities, took off the tucked-over coat with love and put on his ragged leather jacket.

Looking at the new clothes, Xu Qing felt that she was a little reckless yesterday.

At this moment, wearing a tattered leather jacket, Xu Qing was walking in the camp, passing by a crowded market. His eyes seemed to be looking at the convoy's station, but he was actually looking for Fat Shan.

In the distance, the seventh master sighed and sat on the roof with his servants. His eyes swept across the convoy, and then he looked at Xu Qing, and asked the servants beside him casually.

"Did you send the post to Master Bai?"

"Seventh Master, it has been sent, but Master Bai said that he has been ill recently..."

"Baojiu? He's a doctor, he's... Hey, I remember that this kid wore a new dress yesterday, why did he change it back today?" As the seventh master was talking, he noticed Xu Qing's clothes and was surprised.

When the seventh master was puzzled, Xu Qing was in the crowd, and his peripheral vision locked on Fat Shan.

In this way, under the lock of Xu Qing's peripheral vision, the whole day passed.

As the night approached, Fat Mountain, who was going to walk back to the house, changed direction for some unknown reason, and actually walked towards the outer ring area in this night.

It's relatively isolated there.

"Found me?" Xu Qing frowned, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes gradually became colder.

He didn't follow, but looked around, until he was sure that the other party was only going alone, he went around a direction, sneaked in the dark, and Fat Mountain reached the outer ring ahead of time.

Make sure that there is no ambush here, the coldness in his eyes is thicker, and it is hidden in the dark.

At this moment, Fat Shan also came to this area, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Little brat, I noticed someone was following you yesterday, come out, this place is very biased and suitable for dealing with your corpse, if you dare not come out, I won't be alone next time, even if the Thunder Team protects you, our blood shadow It will cost you the same."

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and the other party's words were all about it, and there was no need to hide it, so he walked out of the dark.

"Ma Si didn't go out secretly, but you killed him, but he underestimated you." Fat Shan grinned and looked at Xu Qing who walked out.

"But it doesn't matter, I've been disliked by him for a long time. If you don't kill him, I also plan to kill him next time when I go out, so I have to thank you. I don't care if he lives or dies, but there is something in his leather bag. It should be with you."

Fat Shan looked at Xu Qing's waist pocket with greed in his eyes. Before Xu Qing could answer, his body swayed, and his chubby and round body exploded at a speed that surpassed the second layer of Qi Condensation.

The spiritual energy fluctuations on the body were also much stronger at this moment, and even a layer of magic air flow was formed outside the body, driving the cold wind, and the whole person was like an ice ball, hitting Xu Qing.

He is not at the second level of Qi Condensation, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy at this moment has already reached the third level.

It was also because of this, and in addition to peeking at something in the horse's four leather bags, that he went out alone.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. It was the first time he had a head-to-head battle with a cultivator, especially since the airflow outside the opponent's body was obviously transformed by spiritual energy, but he believed in his own strength and speed.

So at the moment when the other party arrived, Xu Qing rushed out, and the speed of the explosion with all his strength almost left some scars on his figure.

In the blink of an eye, he avoided Fat Shan's body. While Fat Shan was obviously stunned, Xu Qing had already reached behind him, and when he raised his right hand, he exploded with all his strength and threw a punch.

This was the first time that Xu Qing had used all of his combat power. The punch directly caused a bang, and when he landed behind Fat Shan, there was a bang.

Fat Shan trembled violently, the barrier formed by the airflow outside his body shattered inch by inch, his internal organs rolled, and when blood spurted out, Xu Qing's eyes were full of murderous intent.

When the right hand was raised, the iron sign appeared, and in a flash, his body passed by Fat Shan's staggering back side, and the iron sign was about to pierce Fat Shan's head.

But in the next instant, Xu Qing's complexion changed slightly, and his body quickly retreated.

Just as he stepped back, Fat Shan's eyes showed a sinister glow.

Two black lines suddenly emerged from his ears, one after the other with a sharp whistling, and went straight to Xu Qing's face.

The two black lines were black winged centipedes, which were extremely fast. As they were about to approach, the daggers drawn by Xu Qing's left hand cut them off one by one.

The last one, when it was cut off, was less than seven inches away from Xu Qing's eyes.

This dangerous scene made Xu Qing's eyes more murderous, and rushed again.

With the help of Xu Qing's previous retreat, the tumbling of the five internal organs in Fat Shan's body also recovered a little.

At this moment, his chubby body quickly retreated, his hands even lifted up, his face instantly flushed red, and he sprayed a poisonous mist directly towards Xu Qing.

The fog rolled over a large area, and it quickly rolled towards Xu Qing. There was a sizzling sound on the ground wherever it passed, showing that the poison was strong.

After doing this, Fat Shan's face was pale, his belly became smaller, and he went backwards again, his eyes were both ruthless and heartfelt.

Xu Qing's strength was beyond his expectations.

He didn't expect that with his condensed Qi three layers and a poison attack, he was almost killed by the opponent.

And this poisonous mist is his trump card. If he still can't help the other party, he must shout to make the other party jealous.

If he just shouted, it would be very difficult for him to obtain the item of Ma Si.

In fact, he still has a forbidden object here that he has not used. This object has great side effects, but he still took it out. It was an amber.

Hesitating in his heart, he looked at the area where Xu Qing was filled with fog.

But at the moment he looked, the mist rolled away towards the surrounding Meng Lie, and the figure of Xu Qing rushed out in an instant.

The speed was so fast that Fat Shan's eyes froze, and his heart throbbed. Just as his right hand was about to crush amber, he had to shout in his mouth, but it was too late.

A jet-black iron stick, with incomparable sharpness, arrived in an instant, like a broken bamboo, pierced through its head in an instant, blood splashed out, and landed on Xu Qing's body beside him.

Fat Shan's body froze. He wanted to turn his head but couldn't. The corpse fell down slowly, motionless.

Without going to see Fat Shan's body, Xu Qing panted and looked around vigilantly.

This place is remote, and after making sure that it did not attract attention, he quickly approached Fat Shan's body and took the other party's leather bag.

He was about to stab him with his fangs, but Xu Qing noticed that Fat Shan seemed to be holding something in his right hand, so he opened his fingers and saw a piece of amber that had been mostly shattered.

This thing looks normal, nothing out of the ordinary, except that it has a scorpion tail sealed inside.

Xu Qing took it away carefully, made the corpse in the same way, and left quickly after the corpse turned into blood.

As he walked, he wiped the blood from his body and disappeared into the night.

The seventh master and his servants walked out of the darkness at this moment.

Looking at the place where Xu Qing disappeared, the seventh master seemed not to care much about the battle between Xu Qing and Fat Shan just now, but after thinking about it, he showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I see. That kid didn't wear new clothes because he was afraid of getting blood. He was so poor and worried about his clothes."

The servants on the side also sighed in relief.

All day, the seventh master has been thinking about why that kid doesn't wear new clothes, and now he finally has the answer, so he doesn't have to think about the reason every time he hears it.

Although it is an update of two chapters, it is actually a big chapter. This chapter is almost 4500 words long, and the next chapter is nearly 4000 words.

In fact, it can be divided into 3 chapters, but I don't think that is necessary, it will destroy the integrity of the chapters.

I hope that my sincerity can be felt by everyone, thank you brothers and sisters for your support.
