Drunken and faintly dreaming

Although he knew clearly in his heart that the enemy was close at hand, and danger was often only a moment away, Xin Zhuihu really had no choice at this moment. The baby in the basket on his back could not stay depressed for so long, and

He himself is already running out of time - it's hard to say how long he can last this time!

While Xin Zhuihu tried his best to feel the darkness on the mountain road, one foot deep and one foot shallow, he trudged forward, while he was thinking about this and that in a daze... Gradually, he began to feel sleepy involuntarily...

In this way, after walking hard on the mountain road for half a night, it was estimated that it was about three o'clock in the morning, and Xin Zhuihu finally saw the light from a lantern on a tower not far away - that was actually the light from the lantern on the edge of Soseki Town that strangled the mountain pass.

That sentry tower. Although he felt very sleepy at this time, he was also very sober in his heart: It's really strange, why is there no "little devil" jumping out to block the way along the way?

In fact, what Xin Zhuihu didn't know was that in order to show him the "kindest care", a large group of people from the Grimace Division had already arrived at Soseki Town ahead, and had been working very hard for most of the night.

Already...

Tonight in the "Night of Night" tavern, no one would have any extra thoughts at this time to pay attention to the blind old man staying alone in the corner. However, tonight this inconspicuous blind old man, he actually

But it doesn't seem "superfluous" at all, and he is definitely not alone at this time!

Every time, when someone came out of the first-class box, the blind old man listened carefully, and then plucked the erhu string to report the number of people to the people outside the wall. And the people outside the wall were waiting for him.

That person will use a string to raise and lower the small lantern hanging on the tree according to the number he heard - the number of people is the number of times the lantern is raised and lowered.

There is also a person on the watchtower in the distance, always paying attention to the situation of the small lantern on the tree here in the tavern. Every time he gets the exact message, he will whisper to his companions that they must pass by under the watchtower.

They set an ambush and cast a net along the way. If someone comes from the other side, they will grab one; if two come, they will catch a pair - basically no one will slip through the net!

These people act so carefully, and they are obviously targeting the group of people who are waiting in this small town tonight. So, who are they?

There is no doubt that the assassination attempt by the Leprous Dragon group failed this afternoon, and the news must have spread to the Grimace Division very quickly. Of course, this made the Grimace Division, who always likes to do things to perfection, unable to swallow this breath, so they quickly sent more people to the front.

To "last-hit" - this is obviously expected.

Tonight, the person sitting in the "Nightless Sky" first-class box and commanding all the "Yakhas" under his command to intercept and kill him should be a "Judge" from the Ghost Face Division. The head of this "Judge" from the Ghost Face Division is always

It was drooping on one side, as if it had never been straightened out, so the world gave him a nickname - Crooked Carp.

This crooked-headed carp, who usually likes to take credit and reward, found out that the Leprous ahead had failed, and immediately fought for the job with his boss. He was confident that with his long-standing foundation in Mangcang Mountain, he could take down a man.

The lonely old foreigner—isn’t that something that can be easily captured?

However, as time went by, the Crooked Carp began to become less and less confident! What made the little boss feel very puzzled was: one after another - three or four consecutive men were sent out. After that, the results turned out to be like nothing!

For a moment, thinking of Haikou that he had boasted about before, the judge suddenly felt on pins and needles! He understood: at the fourth watch, the two big shots in the department would arrive - how would he explain to them then? The two "big men" that the young judge is worried about are the two most famous evil stars in the Grimace Division: Red Qiu and Bai Chi.

…

Two days ago, in a cave in the Misty Gorge.

"Damn! Hateful! These bastards!" A huge fist hit the stone wall with great force, and the owner of the big fist let out a rude curse at the same time.

"Brother Hammer, don't let your anger break your body!" A young man with a big face next to him quickly spoke to comfort him.

A little man hanging on a mountain vine said quietly after hearing this: "Oh, I'm talking about Big Pie, if something like this happens, how can Brother Hammer not be angry or annoyed?"

"Hey, Brother Big Pie, since the three of us brothers became sworn brothers, have we done one or two things to uphold justice?" the little man said deliberately and pointedly.

"Hmm... it seems... I've never done it before." "Big Bread" was talking more like "Wonton" now.

"What do you mean you haven't?" The big man who smashed the stone wall had a bad temper. When he heard this sentence, he became unhappy and said bluntly: "Let's put it bluntly - it's not at all!"

"Yes, Brother Hammer has a really good memory." The little man on the mountain vine quickly took over the conversation and said down the bamboo pole: "If you ask me, the three of us should do one or two things that will make a huge difference. Things have come out! Isn’t this the right opportunity now?”

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" "Big Pie" was a little confused.

The big man who was smashing the stone wall with all his strength, although he was a rough man, he also had a bright mind. When he heard the words, he immediately reacted, and at the same time, his mind immediately emerged - the scene in the snow last winter...

Last winter, the weather was extremely cold.

That day, I had just delivered a cart of firewood to a wealthy family in the city and was rushing back. Unexpectedly, the cold and tired man unexpectedly fainted from hunger in the snow outside the south gate of Jiaxing City! It was cold at that time. The ground was freezing, and he almost froze to death in that place.

Fortunately, the road is boundless, and a carriage happened to pass by there. The kind-hearted woman in the carriage saw the big man fainting in the snow, and immediately ordered the servant to stop and give him a few sips of warm wine, and gave him some more Eat.

The big man who had recovered his strength finally escaped from this disaster. He has always been a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Afterwards, he went around to find out who the benefactor who saved his life was. But he was in a rural area amid a huge sea of ​​people. It is indeed difficult for people to find out about the wealthy families in the city.

However, just last night, he unexpectedly received news that was like a bolt from the blue! It turned out that Ni Ying, the eldest lady of Ni Mansion in the south of Jiaxing City, was the savior he had been looking for - and Ni Mansion happened to be On that day, they suffered a tragic disaster!
