Chapter 3 Chapter 2 The road ahead is unknown
Qingshui Town is not big, but it is a very special place in the Great Wilderness.
Outside Qingshui Town, from north to south, there are continuous mountains and treacherous terrain, forming a natural barrier. After Shennong Kingdom was destroyed, General Gonggong of Shennong Kingdom who refused to surrender led tens of thousands of soldiers to occupy the place east of Qingshui Town. confrontation.
Qingshui Town is bordered by Xuanyuan in the west, Gaoxin in the south, and the Gonggong Volunteer Army in the east. It is neither under the jurisdiction of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor nor Gaoxin. Therefore, Qingshui Town has gradually become a mixture of three forces, but the three forces are in control. nowhere.
In Qingshui Town, there is no kingship, no family, no rank, and no distinction between gods and demons.
As long as you have a skill, no matter if you are a god or a demon, no matter if you used to be an official or a bandit, you can swagger to survive here, and no one will ask about your past.Gradually, all kinds of people will gather here.
Because of hundreds of years of war, blood, corpses, and lives gave birth to many foundry masters and doctors. Qingshui Town's weapons and trauma medicine skills are well-known in the wilderness.
With a foundry master and a doctor, there will naturally be people who come to forge weapons and visit doctors;
When there are men, there are prostitutes; when there are women, there are clothing stores and makeup shops; when there are men and women, there are restaurants and teahouses...
I don't know whether the chicken lays the egg or the egg lays the chicken. Anyway, Qingshui Town is crowded and lively now, and it is completely unfeeling that this is the frontier of the confrontation between the two armies.
Huichuntang is a small medical clinic located in the west of Qingshui Town. Qingshui Town is a place where the strong survive. Because of the fierce competition, the medical clinic is especially difficult to open.Mazi and Chuanzi told Ye Shiqi that there were people who wanted to kick the gym, but Lao Mu was a deserter from Xuanyuan. Although he was the lowest protoss, he still had some spiritual power, which was enough to deal with ordinary people.Xiaoliu's medical skills are mediocre, and those big medical centers don't bother to grab Huichuntang's business, so Huichuntang's business is not bad, barely maintaining the livelihood of five people.
More than two years later, Shi Qi still looks thin and weak, but his strength is unexpectedly great, he can carry water, chop firewood, plant medicine, and grind medicine, especially his memory is very good.
Mazi and Chuanzi have been with Xiao Liu for more than ten years, and they still can't remember many herbs, but Shi Qi is different, no matter what kind of herb, as long as Xiao Liu explains it to him, he can remember it firmly.
Gradually, Xiao Liu took him with him wherever he went. He had great strength, a good memory, and was taciturn. He did what he was told.
In the evening, after dinner, the five of us gathered together. Under the strong request of Mazi and Chuanzi, Xiaoliu carefully counted all their money and sighed, "There are many men in Qingshui Town and few women. Find a woman to sleep with once in a while." You can buy it in a prostitute shop for a little money, but it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law who sleeps every day.
In the short term, it is more cost-effective to go to sleep with prostitutes, but in the long run, it is cheaper to marry a daughter-in-law to sleep back. "
Both Mazi and Chuanzi stared blankly at Xiaoliu, Laomu's old face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, Shiqi lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly turned up.Xiao Liu asked Mazi and Chuanzi, "Would you like to go to sleep occasionally from now on, or endure it for a few more years and wait until you save enough money to sleep every day?"
Mazi said seriously, "Sixth Brother, a wife is not meant to sleep every day."
"You spent a lot of money to marry your daughter-in-law, but you don't want to sleep with her?" Xiao Liu was about to complain.
"Of course not, I mean not just for sleeping, but for eating together, being able to talk, having company."
Xiao Liu disdains, "I eat with you, talk to you, and accompany you all the time, why do you still want to marry a wife?"
"Because my wife can sleep with me, but you can't."
"Isn't marrying a daughter-in-law just to sleep?"
Mazi lay down weakly, "Okay, let's just sleep." He grabbed Chuanzi's hand and advised, "Don't listen to Brother Six's nonsense, save money patiently, my daughter-in-law is much better than a prostitute. , not just for sleeping." Lao Mu smiled and patted Mazi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Brother Six and I will save enough money for you."
Mazi and Chuanzi went back to the house to sleep, and Shi Qi was also sent back to the house.
Lao Mu discussed with Xiao Liu, "Chuanzi can wait, but Mazi's marriage cannot be delayed.
You also know that Mazi and the girl from Butcher Gao are right. If we don’t hire again, Mazi’s daughter-in-law will fly away. I’m thinking of going to the mountains to dig some good herbs. If I’m lucky, I can dig one or two plants. Spirit grass..."
Xiao Liu waved his hands, "The mountain is the territory of Shennong soldiers, you Xuanyuan deserter, didn't you want to die when you entered the mountain? Besides, you don't know much about those flowers and plants, so I'll go."
Lao Mu pondered and said: "The Gonggong army has strict discipline and never kills innocent people indiscriminately; ordinary civilians are not afraid of encountering Shennong soldiers, but the military adviser Xiang Liu is not easy to get along with. It is rumored that he is a nine-headed monster born with nine lives. , nicknamed Nine Lives, and his methods are very ruthless."
Xiao Liu smiled, "I'm not here to spy on the military, but to dig some spiritual grass. No matter how ruthless he is, he must abide by military discipline. Besides, it's impossible for me to meet such a big man as the military adviser Xiang Liu."
Lao Mu thought that this was indeed the case. He had fought half his life in battle, not to mention Nine Lives Xiangliu, and he had never seen an officer several levels lower than Nine Lives.
He felt relieved, and told Xiao Liu to be careful, to go wherever he could, and never to enter places that were not allowed.If you can't dig out the spiritual grass, you can find a way when you come back.
Xiaoliu was afraid that Mazi and Chuanzi would stop him, so he didn't tell them. After getting ready, he set off before dawn.
Humming a ditty, gnawing on the chicken paws, Xiao Liu suddenly felt something was wrong as he was walking. Looking back, Shi Qi followed him soundlessly.
Xiao Liu waved his hand, "Why did you come out with me? I'm going to dig herbs in the mountains, you should hurry back."
After finishing speaking, he walked forward, not thinking that Shi Qi did not leave, but still followed him.Xiao Liu crossed his hips and raised his voice: "Hey, I told you to go back, didn't you hear?"
Shi Qi stood quietly, lowered his eyes, and expressed his persistence in silence.
Perhaps because of pity from the beginning, Xiao Liu easily softened his heart and asked, "Are you Shennong's deserter?"
Seventeen shook his head.
"Are you Xuanyuan's soldier?"
Seventeen shook his head.
"Are you Gao Xin's spy?"
Seventeen shook his head.
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Then you can go into the mountain, follow along."
Shi Qi took the basket on Xiao Liu's back and put it on his back, holding Xiao Liu's small bamboo basket for snacks in his hand.
Xiao Liu finished eating a chicken paw, Shi Qi silently handed over the small bamboo basket, Xiao Liu took another duck neck, and just as he was about to rub his hand on his clothes after eating the duck neck, a clean handkerchief was handed to him. Xiao Liu chuckled and wiped his hands.Shi Qi handed him a gourd, Xiao Liu took a sip of the plum wine and hiccupped, feeling that the little days were so damn pleasant!The two walked briskly for a day, and they had already entered the mountain in the evening.
Xiao Liu found a sheltered place close to the water source to rest, sprinkled a circle with medicinal powder, and said to Shi Qi: "There are many monsters in the mountains, don't go out of this circle at night. I'll fetch water, and you go to collect some dry firewood. Come back before dark."
After Xiaoliu fetched water, he picked some wild mushrooms and onions. When he went back, he saw that Shiqi hadn't come back yet, and was about to look for him. Shiqi came back with a pile of firewood on his back and a pheasant in his hand.
Xiao Liu smiled happily: "You light a fire, and I'll cook something delicious for you."
Xiao Liu cleaned up the pheasant, stuffed wild mushrooms and wild onions into the pheasant's stomach, spread salt, sprinkled some plum wine, wrapped the whole pheasant with big leaves, sealed it in yellow mud, and buried it in the ground. Under the campfire.
Xiao Liu swiftly set up a simple stone stove, and cooked wild mushroom and pheasant offal soup in the pottery he brought.
Shi Qi silently watched him busy, Xiao Liu stirred the soup with a wooden spoon, and said with a smile: "I have been in the mountains for several years, and I have eaten everything that I can eat, follow me in the mountains, and protect you Good food!"
Counting that the time was up, Xiao Liu pulled out the hard-burned mud, and threw it hard, the soil cracked and gave off a tangy aroma, Xiao Liu divided the mountain pheasant into three parts, wrapped one part and put it in the back basket, A slightly larger portion was given to Shi Qi, "You must finish eating, you are too thin." Xiao Liu gnawed on his own portion, and looked at Shi Qi while eating, Shi Qi was still the same, every move was elegant and noble, as if Sitting in front of the best food table, savoring the most exquisite banquet.Xiao Liu sighed sadly, "Seventeen, you will leave sooner or later."
Seventeen looked up at him, "No, yes."
Xiao Liu smiled, and after drinking the mushroom soup, he rushed to the stream to wash his hands and rinse his mouth.
In the morning, when Xiao Liu woke up, Shi Qi had already lit a fire and boiled hot water.Xiao Liu chopped the pheasants left over from last night into pieces, put them into hot water to cook soup, took a piece of flatbread from the back basket, and half of Seventeen and the others ate it with the hot soup, put out the bonfire, keep climbing.
Xiao Liu and Shi Qi walked all the way to search for herbs. He didn't pick common herbs, only the uncommon ones, he would carefully pick them off and put them in the back basket.
After walking for three days in a row, they had already entered the deep mountains.
Xiao Liu squatted on the ground, staring at a small lump of animal excrement, frowning slightly, as if there was something difficult to decide.Seventeen carried all their belongings on their backs and looked at him silently.
Xiao Liu thought for a while, then stood up and said, "You wait for me here, I'm going to find something by myself."
Seventeen didn't nod.
Xiao Liu leaves, so does he.
Xiao Liu glared at him, "You said you would listen to me, if you don't, I won't let you go."
Shi Qi stared at him silently, a ray of sunlight leaking from the treetops clearly showed the scars on his temples, and there was a touch of sadness in his eyes.
Xiao Liu's heart softened, and he took two steps closer, wanting to pull Shi Qi's arm, but remembering that he still resisted physical touch, so he only grabbed his sleeve, "Shi Qi is the most obedient, obedient and capable, I I won't want you.
I won't let you go, not because it's dangerous, but because that ghost thing is too smart, a little smell will scare it away, and it will flee thousands of miles away.
It can only be approached by rubbing its feces on the body.Not enough feces, so I have to go alone.You wait for me here, if I can't catch it, I will come back immediately. Xiao Liu tilted his head, looked at Shi Qi with a smile, and Shi Qi finally nodded.
Xiao Liu grabbed the feces on the ground, deliberately walked a few steps away, carefully applied it on the exposed skin, and said to Seventeen while applying it: "Is it a little disgusting?
You have never seen it in the environment where you were born and raised!In fact, it’s not that dirty, many good medicinal materials are animal feces, Moon Moon Sha is also the feces of hares, white lilac is the feces of sparrows, Wulingzhi is the feces of flying squirrels..."
As soon as Xiao Liu raised his head, Shi Qi was standing beside him. Xiao Liu was stunned, forgetting what he wanted to say next.Shi Qi straightened Xiao Liu's sleeves and whispered, "Be careful!"
Xiao Liu said with a big smile: "I have been alone in the mountains for many years. When I was hungry, I even stole and ate the eggs laid by the thousand-year-old snake demon. Ferocious birds and beasts are really nothing to me." Dangerous, to be honest, no one is afraid of any ferocious monster..." Xiao Liu put on his belt and waved his hands smartly, "I'm leaving." "I, wait for you." Seventeen stood under the tree straight.
No one in this world can wait for someone for a lifetime, Xiao Liu smiled indifferently, and disappeared into the bushes with a jump.
The thing Xiaoliu wants to catch is called a raccoon cat. It is shaped like a civet cat and has a long white fur tail. Keeping it by your side can make people forget their sorrows.The little thing has no offensive power, but it is very alert and flexible, and it is cunning and timid by nature. As long as it senses a little danger, it will run away and it is difficult to catch.However, Xiao Liu naturally has a way to deal with it.I like to listen to the singing of young girls. If there is a sad girl singing, I will be attracted by the singing, and I can't help but get close to her, trying to make the girl forget the sadness.Xiao Liu chose a suitable place and set up a trap.
He jumped into the spring, washed the feces off his body, climbed onto the rocks, and sat down with his knees wrapped around him.The stone was warmed by the sun, and Xiao Liu sang softly while combing her hair in the sun:
A king is like a concubine on the water, a concubine is like a lotus in the wind
Meet and miss
You are like a cloud in the sky
concubine like the moon in the cloud
fall in love
fall in love
Jun Ruo Mountain Tree
concubine like a vine on a tree
accompany each other
accompany each other
You are like a bird in the sky
Concubines are like fish in water
forget each other
forget each other
...
The singing is melodious and haunting, and I was attracted by the singing. I was very timid at first, and hid cautiously in the dark. When it felt no danger, it couldn't resist its worry-free nature and couldn't help but reveal its body. , chirping chirp.
Xiao Liu stared at it while tucking her hair into a bun.It stares at the big round eyes, and it is naive and really cute. While tweeting, it flicks its big white tail, turns somersaults from time to time, kicks its calves, pats itself on the chest with its little paws, and makes all kinds of funny things. look, make him laugh.
Xiao Liu sighed, and waved his hand to disarm the trap, "Little fool, you go, I won't arrest you to exchange money."
Ju Ju looked at Xiao Liu suspiciously, suddenly, a sharp wind whizzed down, and a golden crowned eagle with white feathers grabbed at him, and there was nowhere to hide, so he jumped into Xiao Liu's arms with all his might.
The white-feathered golden-crowned eagle stood proudly, staring at Xiao Liu, as if telling him: Grandpa wants to eat it!If you don't want to die, just go away!Xiao Liu could feel that although the white-feathered golden-crowned eagle hadn't yet cultivated into a human form, it must already be able to understand human language.
He sighed, and saluted, "Master Diao, it's not that I want to offend you. You should know that 朏朏 is very difficult to catch. If I hadn't lured it out first, Master Diao might not be able to eat it even if he wanted to."
The white-feathered golden-crowned eagle flapped its wings, and a large rock was smashed into pieces by it, with a murderous aura rushing toward its face.
Xiao Liu didn't dare to retreat, and running away would often trigger a fatal attack from a wild beast. Although this eagle could think, its wild nature definitely remained unchanged.
Huo Huan's paws tightly grasped Xiao Liu's clothes, and he shrank his body hard, reducing his sense of existence.Xiao Liu held it with one hand, and gently poured the ammunition powder out with the other, looking at the white-feathered golden-crowned eagle with both eyes, he was very sincere, humble and harmless, "Master Diao has a heroic appearance, an extraordinary figure, and amazing wings. The king, the overlord of the sky, the little one really admires it...but I'm sorry, I can't let you eat it today."
The white-feathered golden-crowned eagle wanted to kill the brat in front of him, but it only felt dizzy and weak. It felt very similar to drinking strong alcohol that time, but it obviously didn't drink... Shaking left and right, the eagle fell limply to the ground.
Xiao Liu was about to escape when a voice came from the tree, "Maoqiu, I've told you many times that people are cunning, will you remember it this time?"
A man in white clothes and white hair sat gracefully on a protruding branch, looking at the white-feathered golden-crowned eagle gleefully.
Xiao Liu sighed inwardly, the real trouble is coming!He threw the 朏朏 hard into the bushes, and with the dexterity of the 朏朏, it should be able to escape.
Unexpectedly, he rolled over, with his head facing the man, lying on all fours, his body shaking constantly, but he didn't even have the courage to escape.If you don't run away, I will run away!
Xiao Liu threw a pack of medicinal powder at the man in white, and ran away, but the man in white blocked him.
Xiao Liu took another pack of medicine. The man in white frowned, flicked his clothes, and said sadly, "If you keep throwing these crap around and dirty my clothes, I'll chop off your hands."
Xiao Liu stopped fighting immediately, the other party's cultivation was advanced, poison and drug were useless, and he obviously couldn't beat him, there was nothing he could do, only - knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xiao Liu fell to his knees with a plop, snot and tears, "Master, the young one is a little doctor in Qingshui Town, he came to the mountain just to get some spiritual herbs and sell some money, the two brothers are waiting to marry a wife..." The man stroked the white-feathered golden crown eagle, "The antidote."
Xiao Liu hurriedly crawled over on his knees, offering the antidote with both hands.
The man fed the antidote to the eagle, and then he looked down at Xiao Liu, "My mount eats hundreds of thousands of poisonous snakes, not hundreds of thousands. Even the medicine made by the Xuanyuan court doctor can't do anything to it. I really didn't expect Qing Shui How amazing are the little doctors in the town."
Xiao Liu felt cold, and swore to the sky: "The blind cat catches the dead mouse.
The small one is not deceiving, it is a small doctor who specializes in women's infertility, Qingshui Town West Riverside Huichun Hall, adults can have wives and concubines infertility..." A small group of soldiers ran over and asked the man respectfully Salute, "My lord. "
The man kicked Xiao Liu in front of them, "Tied up!"
"Yes!" The two soldiers immediately bound Xiao Liu tightly with finger-thin tendons.
On the contrary, Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief. This is the Shennong Volunteer Army. Although General Gonggong was called a rebel by the Yellow Emperor, his military discipline is strict and he has never disturbed the people for hundreds of years.
Xiao Liu knew that everything he said was true, and they would release him if they found out, but this man was very dangerous... Xiao Liu peeked at the man in white, and the man looked at Diao with concern.
The antidote is real, and the white-feathered golden-crowned eagle will soon resume its action, but the idiot is still lying on the ground trembling, Xiao Liu smiled, "Please let the idiot go."
The man didn't seem to hear, just stroking Diao'er's back.The golden eagle shuddered its feathers, stood up, and flew onto the body of the scorpion, tearing the scorpion with its sharp claws.
"Squeak—" The scream just started, and then disappeared in a hurry.
Xiao Liu lowered his eyes, and the blood-stained white hair fell on his shoes with the wind.
The man waited for the eagle to finish eating, and then took the people back to the camp.
Xiao Liu tightly closed his eyes, and resolutely refused to look at it. Based on the voices he heard, he guessed that it was a small camp, and it should be a temporary camp.
Xiao Liu was thrown to the ground, and the man's voice slid into his ears coldly, "Elaborate ears are often more powerful than eyes."
Xiao Liu opened his eyes. From his perspective, he could only see the man's waist. "I have been in Qingshui Town for more than 20 years, and I will know if it is true or not."
The man ignored him, changed his outer robe, and sat in front of the case to deal with official documents. At this moment, Xiao Liu could see his appearance clearly.
The white hair is like a cloud, not tied up in a bun, and a jasper forehead wipes the white hair neatly behind the head, hanging down naturally, the facial features are handsome and strange, and the whole person is also clean and tidy.
At this time, he held the official document in his hand, with contempt in the corners of his brows and eyes, showing a stern look.Sensing Xiao Liu's eyes looking at him, he smiled and looked at Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu shuddered and immediately closed his eyes.He had seen this kind of gaze in the eyes of a famous demon in the wilderness when he was young, and it could only be honed by stepping on the heads of countless corpses.
Xiao Liu guessed his identity, the legendary handsome murderous nine-headed monster—Xiang Liu with nine lives.
Xiao Liu's hands and feet were bound and he couldn't move. After a long time, his whole body ached. When he stayed up late at night, a soldier came in with food, and Xiang Liu ate slowly.
Xiao Liu was thirsty and hungry, looking at Xiang Liu's appearance, it was obvious that he would not feed him, so Xiao Liu could only try to divert his attention.
He thought, Shi Qi must be looking for him now, but it is impossible to find him here, and he will probably return to the town.After eating and drinking, Xiang Liu lazily lay on the couch after washing, leafily flipping through a silk book.
A soldier was playing a report outside, and the personal guard came in and presented a jade slip to Xiang Liu, and quickly retreated.
After Xiang Liu looked at it, he stared at Xiao Liu, meditating silently.
Xiao Liu guessed that the jade slip just now must be news about him, and tried to make himself smile honestly, "My lord, everything the villain said is true, and there are relatives at home who are looking forward to the villain's return."
Xiang Liu said coldly, "I only trust my own judgment. Who are you?"
Xiao Liu almost rolled his eyes, "I'm Wen Xiaoliu, the doctor of Huichun Hall."
Xiang Liu stared at him, tapped his finger on the edge of the couch, Xiao Liu couldn't help trembling, it was the instinctive fear of death that a creature feels.
Xiao Liu knew very well that Xiang Liu didn't have the patience to explore his suspiciousness, and Xiang Liu only wanted to solve the problem in the simplest and most effective way, and that would be his fate.
The moment the murderous intent came, Xiao Liu rolled over, and while dodging, he said quickly: "My lord, I am really Wen Xiaoliu.
Maybe I am not just Wen Xiaoliu, but I have never harbored any malice towards General Gonggong’s rebel army, I do not belong to Xuanyuan, I do not lose to Gao Xin, nor do I belong to Shennong, I am just..."
Xiao Liu was silent, he also wanted to ask himself, who am I?
He tried his best to raise his head so that all his expressions were in Xiangliu's sight, "I'm just an abandoned person, I can't protect myself, I have no one to depend on, and I have nowhere to go, so I chose to work in Qingshui Town. Wen Xiaoliu.
If adults allow, I hope I can be Wen Xiaoliu for the rest of my life. "Xiang Liu looked at him indifferently, Xiao Liu didn't dare to move, cold sweat rolled down his forehead one by one, there was moisture in his eyes, and the shell that hadn't been torn apart for decades was forcibly torn open.
After a while, Xiang Liu said lightly, "If you want to live, use it for me!"
Xiao Liu remained silent.
Xiang Liu turned off the lights, "I'll give you a night to think about it."
Xiao Liu opened his eyes, dazed.
In the early morning, Xiang Liu asked while getting dressed, "Have you figured it out yet?"
Xiao Liu said wearily, "I'm still thinking about it, I'm so thirsty, I need to drink some water first." Xiang Liu smiled coldly, and went out of the room, "Bring him out."
Two soldiers dragged Xiao Liu out.
Xiang Liu said lightly, "Whiplashes, twenty!"
The whipping punishment of the army can beat the most cunning monster soldiers into fear, one can imagine the pain, and the executioner under Jiu Mingxiang Liu has amazing arm strength, once beat a thousand-year-old monster soldier to death with 120 lashes .The whip as thick as an ox's tail came down cracklingly, and Xiao Liu screamed wildly: "Think it over, think it over..."
After twenty lashes, Xiang Liu looked at Xiao Liu and asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"
Xiao Liu panted and said, "Think it over, the villain is willing, there are only three conditions."
"Flogging, twenty!"
The whip crackled again, and Xiao Liu hissed, "Two conditions, two conditions, one condition..."
After twenty lashes, Xiao Liu's entire back was covered in blood, and his whole body was convulsed with pain.
Xiang Liu looked at Xiao Liu indifferently, and asked, "Are there any conditions?"
Xiaoliu's face was covered with sweat, his mouth was full of blood, and he couldn't finish his sentence, "You...kill me, and I...also...on one condition." Xiang Liu twitched the corner of his lips and smiled coldly ,"Say!"
"I, I... will not leave Qingshui Town." Xiaoliu understood very well that Xiang Liu liked his ability to use poison. As long as he did not leave Qingshui Town, Xiang Liu would not be able to send him to poison Xuanyuan's generals, nor would it be possible. To blackmail the nobles of Gaoxin.Xiang Liu obviously also understood Xiao Liu's intentions, and stared at Xiao Liu expressionlessly.
Xiao Liu, who has always been very timid and afraid of death, did not back down this time, and looked back at Xiang Liu, saying that if you don't agree to this condition, you can beat me to death!After a while, Xiang Liu said, "Okay!"
Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately collapsed.
Xiao Liu was carried into the house by two soldiers. The military physician skillfully tore open his clothes and applied medicine to his back. Xiang Liu stood at the entrance of the tent and watched coldly.Xiao Liu lay prone on the wooden board, letting the doctor meekly manipulate him.After the medicine was delivered, everyone withdrew. Xiang Liu said to Xiao Liu, "Help me prepare the medicine I want. You can stay in Qingshui Town to be your little doctor at ordinary times, but when I call, you must obey." "Okay, but it's not that I can match what the adults want."
"If you don't deserve it, I'll trade your body for it."
"Eh?" Xiao Liu didn't expect Xiang Liu to be so masculine, so he said cautiously: "My lord is beautiful, it's not that I don't want to serve you, it's just..."
The corners of Xiang Liu's lips turned up, half a smile, and he stretched out his toes, and stepped on the heaviest wound on Xiao Liu's back slowly and hard, blood gushed out, and Xiao Liu's body twitched in pain.
"If you can't match it once, use a part of your body in exchange. The first time, useless ears, after two times, just the nose, the nose is cut off, it's just ugly..."
Xiang Liu rubbed his feet vigorously, "Don't worry. I won't chop off your hands, they need medicine." Xiao Liu chattered his teeth in pain, "Small, small... I understand."
Xiang Liu withdrew his feet, carefully wiped off the blood stains on Xiao Liu's clothes, and said flatly, "You are a loach, you are slippery, and you will get a lot of mud if you are not careful, but what am I?" Temper, you should inquire carefully."
Xiao Liu sneered: "You don't need to inquire about it."
The sound of weapons colliding came, "My lord, someone broke into the barracks."
Xiang Liu walked out quickly, and the noise disappeared in an instant.Xiao Liu heard a sergeant ask: "Who are you? Entering the Shennong barracks privately, what are you talking about?" A hoarse voice: "Ye Shiqi, Xiao Liu."
It's seventeen!He actually found it? !Xiao Liu stumbled out and yelled anxiously: "Master Xiang Liu, don't hurt him, he is my servant, he came to look for me."
Shi Qi rushed towards Xiao Liu, his spiritual power was unexpected, and he even opened up all the soldiers who blocked him.
But this is a well-trained elite soldier. After knocking down two, he was able to get four more. Xiao Liu yelled: "Seventeen, don't do it, be obedient!"
Shi Qi stopped, surrounded by soldiers, staring at him angrily.Shi Qi didn't look at them, but only stared at Xiang Liu: "I, I want to take Xiao Liu away."
With a flattering face, Xiao Liu pleaded, "My lord! The little one is already yours!" The words... made all the soldiers present shudder.
Xiang Liu frowned, and finally raised his hand.The soldier stepped aside, and Shi Qifei flew up to Xiao Liu, half hugged and half supported him, and gently stroked his back with his palm.
Maybe it was a psychological effect, but Xiao Liu actually felt a little less pain.Shi Qi squatted down, "Go home."
Xiao Liu lay on his back, smiled obsequiously at Xiang Liu and said, "My lord, I'm going back."
Xiang Liu stared at Shi Qi and sized him up, little Liu was anxious, and covered Shi Qi's face with his hands childishly: "Don't play tricks on him, he belongs to me."
Xiang Liu was stunned for a moment, the corners of his lips turned up, and he immediately pressed them together again. He coughed slightly: "It has been verified that you are a commoner in Qingshui Town. You have no ill intentions towards our Shennong volunteer army. Now let you go back."
Xiao Liu could only put on a face and say, "Caomin thank you sir. After Caomin returns, I will definitely publicize your benevolence."
The soldiers dispersed, Shiqi carried Xiaoliu on his back, and left quickly.
He couldn't hear the voice behind him, so Xiao Liu said weakly, "Seventeen, I'm thirsty."
Shi Qi gently put him down and gave him the gourd filled with water. Xiao Liu drank a few big gulps and heaved a sigh of relief, "Let's go quickly, that Xiang Liu has a weird mind, and it will be a disaster if he backs out."
Shi Qi squatted down, Xiao Liu remembered his rejection and aversion to physical touch, but now there was no other way, Xiao Liu carefully lay on his back, "I'm sorry, I know you don't want to carry someone.
You just imagine that I am a stone, but the stone does not make a sound...there imagine that I am a pig, a pig that can speak human language, by the way, do you hate pigs?Or imagine me as a..."
Seventeen's voice came in a low voice, "I just imagined it was you, and I'd like to... carry you on my back."
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "That's okay, just imagine that I'm a me." After finishing speaking, he realized what he had said, laughed dryly, stopped halfway through the laugh, and groaned, " Seventeen, my back hurts a lot, you can talk to me for a while." "Yeah."
"Seventeen, how did you find it?"
"There are traces, which can be checked."
"Oh, you are very good at tracking, did you learn it before?" Xiao Liu remembered that he definitely didn't want to recall the past, "I'm sorry, if you don't want to answer, don't answer." "Seventeen, that Xiangliu is very insidious, be careful when you see him in the future A little. If he finds out that you have something he can use, he will definitely hit your mind." "Yeah."
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
How will we live in the future..." Seventeen stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Xiao Liu, his lips touched Xiao Liu's forehead, and the warm breath brushed Xiao Liu's face, Seventeen immediately moved away stiffly, " Don't... be afraid. "
Maybe it was because Xiang Liu had just been tortured, maybe it was because the hard shell was torn open and the seams hadn't been closed yet. Xiao Liu was very greedy for the support at hand. He leaned against Shi Qi's shoulder with his eyes closed and his cheek against his. He rubbed his neck like a kitten, "I'm not afraid of him, I don't believe that there is no poison in the world that can poison him, and the day I prepare the poison, I will..."
Xiao Liu made a vicious look of crushing everything with his hands. "Seventeen, when you go back, don't say anything, don't let Lao Mu and the others know that Lao Mu and Shennong have fought for half their lives, and they are quite afraid of the devil, Xiang Liu.
In fact, I told you in vain, right?Mazi and Chuanzi have been trying to trick you, but I see that over the past year, they have even confessed how many moles they have on their bodies, but they don't know anything about you..."
Shi Qi's footsteps slowed down, Xiao Liu patted his chest reassuringly, "I know, you are Shi Qi, I hope you can be Shi Qi for the rest of your life, but I know it's impossible. But you haven't left every day, every day It's Seventeen, listen to me..." "Yes."
"You must only listen to me!"
"Ok."
Xiao Liu was as happy as a mouse stealing oil, felt the pain on his back subsided, lay on Shi Qi's back, and gradually fell asleep.
Because of the injury on his back, Xiao Liu didn't want to go back immediately, so he instructed Shi Qi to find a cave to rest and recuperate.
Shi Qi made a comfortable straw couch for Xiao Liu as much as possible, and temporarily regarded the cave as his home, and the two of them seemed to be living the life of hunters in the mountains.
Every day, Shi Qi would go out to hunt some small game and come back.When Shi Qi came back, Xiao Liu moved his mouth, he started to cook together.Shi Qi had obviously never done such a job before, he was clumsy and kept making mistakes, Xiao Liu laughed out loud.But Shi Qi is too smart, and he has done well a few times, which made Xiao Liu lose a lot of fun.
The years in the mountains are very lonely, and those who cannot move are even more lonely.Xiao Liu grabbed Shi Qi and talked with him, talking about everything, from all over the world, from mountains to seas, a delicious dish, a sunset in a certain valley... Shi Qi listened quietly.
Xiao Liu occasionally felt uneasy, "Am I talking too much? I lived alone for more than 20 years. At that time, I got a strange disease. I didn't dare to see people and kept wandering around.
At first I didn’t want to talk, but as time went by, one day when I was in the mountains, I realized that I had forgotten the name of the fruit, and suddenly I was very scared. In fact, I didn’t even know what I was afraid of.
But after that, I started to force myself to speak. The most powerful thing I ever did was to catch a monkey and talk to him for a whole day. The monkey couldn’t take it anymore and hit its head on a rock to kill itself..."
Xiao Liu laughed out loud, Shi Qi stared at him.
Every other day, to take medicine, Xiao Liu undressed generously, turning his naked back to Shi Qi.
Xiao Liu couldn't see Shi Qi's expression, so he teased, "I've already seen your whole body, you can only see my back, is it a loss?" Shi Qi didn't say anything, Xiao Liu chuckled.
Xiao Liu's injury was serious, Shi Qi thought that the two of them would stay in the mountains for a month or two, but he didn't expect Xiao Liu to be able to walk on crutches in less than ten days.After two more days of raising her, Xiao Liu decided to go home.
When Xiao Liu was packing up the herbs, he found two plants, "Did you pick these?"
Shi Qi nodded, "I saw it when I was hunting, you mentioned it." During these days, I got along with Xiao Liu day and night, and under Xiao Liu's ravages, he spoke much smoother than before.Xiaoliu was ecstatic and wanted to hug Shiqiqin, "It's great, Mazi and Chuanzi have a daughter-in-law."
Shiqi squatted down, trying to carry Xiaoliu on his back.
Xiao Liu backed away, "No need, I'll go by myself." Before, he was helpless, but now that he can go by himself, how can he take someone's polite wishes seriously?Shi Qi stood up silently and followed behind Xiao Liu.
When the two returned to Qingshui Town, Lao Mu waved a wooden spoon and asked, "Why did you walk for so long? I didn't tell you that you can't go where you shouldn't go?"
Xiao Liu smiled and showed him the herbs he picked, "Of course I didn't go! Shi Qi is not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and accidentally walked into a maze, so I was delayed for a few days. Didn't I come back safely?"
Seeing Zhichu, Lao Mu was overjoyed, hurriedly took the herbal medicine, and put it away carefully.
Xiao Liu winked at Shi Qi, hummed a ditty, and went back to his room.
A month later, under Lao Mu's help, Mazi got married with Chuntao, the daughter of the butcher Gao's family.
Everything is back to normal.Everyday life is still the same as the day before, calm to boring, boring to boring, boring to safe, safe to happy.
Except, occasionally, a small white-feathered vulture would fly to Xiao Liu, bringing something and taking something away.
Xiao Liu always leaves a way out when making medicine for Xiangliu. For example, the poison is very poisonous, and it definitely meets his tricky requirements, but it may have a special color or a special smell. In short, it is impossible to use it to poison those surrounded by poison. Protect the big shot.
Xiaoliu thought that after a long time, Xiang Liu would make trouble for him, but Xiang Liu didn't have any requirements for "color, aroma, and taste", as long as the toxicity met his requirements, he would accept them all.
Relying on his scattered medical and poison skills, Xiao Liu speculates that Xiang Liu's exercises are special because of his special physique.
After thinking this through, Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and began to find ways to make the poison unpalatable.
A year later, Lao Mu held a simple and lively wedding ceremony for Mazi and Chuntao.
Mazi is a product of war—an orphan, when he was begging, he firmly believed that his fate was a certain winter day, the sun was shining on the side of the road, his body was eaten by wild dogs, and the wild dogs howled happily while eating. Same fate as most orphans.
However, Xiao Liu and Lao Mu changed his fate.
Xiao Liu and Lao Mu are not humans.When Mazi was seven or eight years old, he was picked up by Xiaoliu. Over ten years later, Mazi grew into a man of eight feet. Now Xiaoliu looks younger than Mazi, but Mazi thinks that Xiaoliu and Lao Mu are his elders.
In front of all the guests, he led Chuntao to kneel down, and firmly kowtowed three times to Xiao Liu and Lao Mu.老木激动地偷偷擦眼泪，小六也难得的一脸严肃，对麻子嘱咐：“和春桃多多睡觉，早生孩子。”
麻子本来还想再说几句掏心窝的话，可一听小六掏心窝的话，他不敢说了，如果让春桃知道娶她就是为了能天天睡觉，比娼妓省钱，这媳妇肯定要跑。
他拉着春桃，赶紧逃了。
小六嘿嘿地贼笑，十七好笑地看着小六。老木迎来送往，小六没什么事，坐在院子一角，专心致志地啃鸡腿。
串子突然冲了过来，结结巴巴地说：“有……有贵客。”
拖着他往外走。相柳一袭白衣，站在回春堂门口，长身玉立，纤尘不染，就好像一朵白莲花，还是被雨水洗刷了三天三夜的，干净得让所有人都想回家去洗澡。
老木身子不好意思接他的贺礼，双手使劲地在衣服上擦着，生怕一点汗就脏了人家。
小六嘿嘿笑着走了过去，随手把啃完的鸡腿扔到地上，两只油腻腻的手从相柳手中接过贺礼，还不怕死地在他手上蹭蹭。
相柳笑意不变，只是实现扫向小六身后的串子，小六立即收敛了。小六把贺礼递给串子，对相柳躬着腰，谄媚地说：“请屋里坐。”
相柳坐下，不知是敬还是怕，他身周三丈内无人敢接近。
十七默默地坐在了小六身旁，小六看了他一眼，唇角不禁上弯，成了一弯月牙，眼睛也变成了两枚小月牙。小六问相柳：“你要的药，我都给你配好了，应该没有差错吧？”
相柳微笑，“你做得很好，所以我来送份贺礼。”
小六无语，你来是提醒我现在不仅是三个人质了，还多了一个。
院子里，一群年轻人在戏弄麻子和春桃，时不时爆发出大笑声。
小孩子们吃着果子，跑出跑进，老木和屠户高几个老头边吃菜边说笑。
相柳看着世俗的热闹，不屑又不解地问：“等他们都死时，你只怕依旧是现在的样子，有意思吗？”
小六说：“我怕寂寞，寻不到长久的相依，短暂的相伴也是好的。”
相柳看小六，小六殷勤地给他倒酒，“既然来了，就喝杯喜酒吧，我自个儿酿的。”
相柳喝了一杯后，淡淡地说：“除了酒中下的毒之外，无一可取之处。”
小六关切地问：“你中毒了吗？”
相柳轻蔑地看着小六，小六颓然。
相柳问：“你很想毒死我吗？”
小六诚实地说：“我又不是轩辕的士兵，你我之间现在还没有生死之仇，我只是想抽你百八十鞭子。”“你这辈子就别做梦了。”相柳又喝了一杯酒，飘然而去。
小六气闷地对十七说：“我迟早能找到他的死穴，毒不倒他，我就倒着走。”
十七眼中有微微的笑意，小六看到他这超脱万物的样子，恨不能双手狠狠揉捏他一番，忍不住倒了一杯毒酒给他，“喝了！”十七接过，一仰脖子，喝下。
小六愣了，“有毒的。”
十七眼中的笑意未消散，身子却软软地倒了下来。
小六手忙脚乱地给他解毒，嘴里骂：“你个傻子！”心中却泛起一点点说不清道不明的涟漪。
麻子的婚宴之后，九命相柳偶尔回来回春堂的小院坐坐，喝几杯小六斟给他的酒，吃几片小六做的点心。
走时，他总是面不改色心不跳。相柳这种嗜好不把小六放在眼里的态度激怒了小六。
小六入医术此行时，一开始就是歪路，目的是为了要人命，而不是救人命。
相柳把他的毒药当糖豆子吃，让他反思后，决定沉下心思好好钻研如何害人，继续在歪路上前进，目的就是迟早毒倒那个魔头！
