The night was dark and there was no moon or starlight.
The canopy of trees covered with branches and leaves seemed to pull down the dark night sky.
Xia Hourong sneezed and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Wenbao, Wenbao, where are you..."
No reply came.
Xia Hourong just stood up and was about to stick his head out to take a look.
"Bandits!"
"A bandit is coming!"
"...."
Suddenly there was a loud shout and the sound of horse hooves.
"Bandits!?"
"Run!"
"A bandit is coming, everyone, run away."
Xia Hourong was startled, suddenly came to his senses, reached out and patted his chubby face.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow hit the wooden plank of the carriage, making a buzzing sound.
Xia Hourong's face was pale and his heart was beating fast.
Why doesn't the carriage move?
He stuck his head out in fear and saw no one else on the carriage.
The people around him had already fled.
There were torches dancing in the darkness, and a bandit took the lead, rushing forward and slashing with his sword.
Xia Hourong rolled on the spot in a panic, narrowly avoiding the knife.
In the distance, a large group of bandits riding fast horses were approaching quickly, with no way to escape.
"Puff..."
There were two muffled sounds in the darkness.
Two bandits covered their eyes and fell from their horses.
A fast horse galloped over and picked up Xia Hourong from the ground.
Logically speaking, Xia Hourong's size weighed at least 200 kilograms, but immediately the man grabbed it with one hand, as if he was carrying a chicken.
A fire bomb was fired.
"Bang!!"
A fire lit up in the dark night, followed by a loud bang.
The horses of the bandits were frightened, and their frightened sounds were like a strong hurricane roaring past. Two unlucky horse thieves were thrown out directly by the horses.
"Senior Brother Li..."
Xia Hourong was in shock.
After a while, Li Changshou rode his horse to throw away the bandits and stopped by a stream.
The horse snorted and lowered his head to drink water.
Li Changshou got off his horse, but he was not worried that the bandits would catch up.
Xia Hourong lay on his horse, breathing heavily. The ups and downs in his life were so sudden.
If you had a weak heart, you would probably be scared to death right now.
A moment ago, I was immersed in the dream of going home.
The next second, the bandits came.
Seeing that he was about to be killed by the sword.
Suddenly, I was rescued again...
After a while, Xia Hourong touched his little heart.
"Senior Brother Li, why are you here? Didn't you leave?"
Li Changshou pulled the carriage out from the bushes, "I have been following you."
"Then have you seen Wen Bao? He is my cousin. The bandits are here, and he doesn't know where he is."
Xia Hourong looked anxious. He was not sure whether Wen Bao ran away or was caught by the bandits.
In the end, it's still your own fault.
If it weren't for him, Wenbao and the others would have set off the day before.
I'm afraid I won't encounter bandits.
If something happened to Wen Bao, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Li Changshou checked the medicinal materials on the carriage without raising his head, "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Xia Hourong looked confused.
"You can't tell that your cousin secretly contacted the bandits and wanted your life."
Li Changshou's tone was very calm, but to Xia Hourong's ears, it was like a thunder in his ears.
"No...impossible! Senior brother, what are you talking about?
Wenbao is my relative. We grew up together since childhood.
How could he want to harm me! You must have misunderstood. "
Li Changshou said calmly, "Think about the situation in your family and who would be most beneficial if you died.
Then think about how you were deceived into Donghua Taoist Temple, and finally think about why everyone ran away as promised when the bandits came..."
Xia Hourong stood there blankly. His father passed away five years ago, and his mother has always supported the family business.
If he died, his family would be devoured and wiped out.
Or just get kicked out of the house.
He always wanted to go out and have a look, but his mother wouldn't let him.
It was his second uncle who secretly helped him escape, and then he was captured by the old Taoist and taken to Donghua Taoist Temple.
I also thought of all the weird behaviors of Wen Bao when I met him...
Xia Hourong took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt a chill down his spine.
He couldn't describe the specific feeling at this time.
But suddenly I felt that everything had been subverted, and I seemed to have been deceived by the whole world.
He sat slumped on the ground, his pupils staring at the boss, and his chest heaving.
Then, he suddenly stood up again and clenched his fists.
"me....."
Li Changshou suddenly said, "Someone once taught me a saying, in this world, you should never be dominated by your own emotions.
Otherwise, you will not be able to make decisions before taking action, and you will often lose your life because of this. "
Xia Hourong bit his lip and waited for a few more breaths.
He sat down again, as if he had accepted this fact.
"You should have had enough sleep in the car. Let's leave overnight." Li Changshou hitched the horse to the rail again.
...........
The morning breeze blew slightly, and crystal clear dewdrops slid down the leaves.
The sky is white with fish belly.
Xia Hourong yawned greatly. He spoke less along the way and was no longer as lively as before.
His stomach growled, and an object was thrown to him from Li Changshou's hand.
Xia Hourong looked down and saw two cold sesame cakes.
"You know medicine. After taking it, help me see if I did it right."
Li Changshou handed him the medicinal wine Calabash with centipede in his waist.
Xia Hourong held the sesame cake in one hand and opened the medicinal wine gourd in the other.
He put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then squinted his eyes to make a judgment.
"Senior brother, you have too many Tianmingzi."
"Then what should we do, dump it and start again?"
"No, just add some Bai Qing. Bai Qing and Tian Mingzi can just neutralize it."
In terms of pharmacology, Li Changshou was far inferior to Xia Hourong, who had studied medicine since childhood.
The carriage was swaying on the uninhabited and rugged mountain road, as if it would fall apart in the next second.
"Senior brother, Wenbao said he gave you money, why are you back again?" Xia Hourong suddenly asked.
"I came back when I found something was wrong." Li Changshou said lightly.
"I mean you don't need to come back and wade through this muddy water again." Xia Hourong scratched his head, "Senior brother, is it because you really regard me as a friend? We can be regarded as life-and-death friends, right?"
Li Changshou said: "After receiving the money, we have to do things for others. As escorts, we have to be trustworthy.
Don't trust any friends these days, not even family members. "
".....oh...."
