The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The moon was bright in the sky, and a carriage was slowly moving along the empty mountain road.

Lu Shi lay comfortably on the soft couch in the car, one hand lazily supporting his head, while the other hand slowly picked up a date and gently put it into his mouth to chew. His movements were calm and leisurely, as if time was not urgent for him.

A strand of hair gently fell in front of his forehead, swaying slightly with the bumps of the car. The car was filled with a faint scent of grass and woods, mixed with the sweet scent of dates, forming a unique flavor. His slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of weariness.

"Walk slowly, it's uncomfortable."

The coachman outside the carriage, the monkey system, rolled his eyes silently.

“Excuse me, my ancestors. It was you who said the remaining distance to Beijing was not far and asked me to hurry so that I could get into the city before dark. But you made a lot of requests along the way and wasted so much time.

I finally found a small road to save time. As long as we keep the same speed, we can get there before the city gate closes. But you caused trouble again.

Now, the city gates are almost closed and we are still on the road. We might have to sleep outdoors in the mountains tonight!"

"Why not?"

Lu Shi yawned, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. "I haven't experienced staying in the mountains in the past few months. This is quite new."

"I beg you, shut up!" The Monkey System said gritting its teeth, and then quickened its pace.

Fine……

Lu Shidong moved and found a comfortable position, then closed his eyes under the malicious shaking of the monkey system.

Perhaps realizing that they really couldn't make it into the city, the monkey system slowly slowed down after a while.

As the speed slowed down, the carriage gradually became stable. It found a suitable place to stop, and the wheels rolled on the ground, making a slight friction sound.

The monkey system jumped lightly from the horse's back, walked quietly into the carriage, found a comfortable position on Lu Shi's body, lay down quietly, and closed his eyes.

Lu Shi opened his eyes and glanced at it, then raised his hand and lifted the small blanket on his body to cover it.

The night on the mountain was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects and birds. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the carriage parked beneath the tree was completely lost in the darkness.

……

A young girl was running desperately in the moonlight in the dark night. She could not see the road ahead nor the direction she had chosen, but she kept running with courage and perseverance.

Her heavy breathing and stumbling steps betrayed the girl's exhaustion. However, she seemed unable to shake off the 'beast' behind her. From not far away came a furious roar.

"What on earth are you doing? There are so many of you and you let a little girl run away!"

"She had drugs on her that knocked out a lot of our brothers, so she ran away," a younger brother among the many strong men retorted in a low voice.

The burly man in the lead looked even more ferocious. "That's because you're clueless. Otherwise, how could you have fallen for our trick? You're a bunch of idiots!"

The younger brother lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything back. He could only roll his eyes at him in his heart. If he really had a brain, he wouldn't have become a bandit.

"Hurry up and go find it! We've been searching for so long and still haven't found it. How much longer are you going to delay?

Where else can she go in this mountain? Besides, she is a delicate young lady, so she can’t run far.”

The strong man was afraid that they were not doing their best and slowed down his tone. "Do you know how much money we can get from this order?"

"A full one thousand taels!"

The younger brothers widened their eyes.

"Besides, that Miss Jiao is obviously not a simple person. If we go to her family to ask for more, then we..."

"We're rich!" The younger brothers were all excited and started to act separately without the strong man urging them.

Xiao Muyu was so angry that she was shaking all over after hearing the conversation between these people. She couldn't imagine how desperate her parents would be if those people succeeded.

But she seemed to have no strength left. She used all the drugs she had 'stolen' from her cousin, but unfortunately it didn't delay the attack long enough.

She had been running for more than a quarter of an hour, and the criminals didn't know the direction she was running in but were able to track her. It seemed that her luck was not very good.

After using up her last bit of strength, she collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, her legs going limp.

The sound of the fall was heard by the younger brothers who came over not far away. Their eyes lit up, as if they saw a mountain of gold waiting for them not far away.

"Boss, here, come quickly!"

Excited voices echoed through the mountains. Seeing figures approaching her, Xiao Muyu closed her eyes in despair. If a little woman like her, who had escaped before, were caught again, she would soon face hell. However, she didn't even have the strength to commit suicide...

Xiao Muyu was caught again, and the bandits laughed wildly.

The leading burly man shouted again, "Keep it together, someone might find this place by now."

"Boss, you are too cautious. The place we are looking for is so remote, how could we find this place so quickly?"

"It's always better to be careful."

The brothers had no choice but to shut up.

"What a pity, it's too late..."

The soft whisper echoed in everyone's ears like a ghost. The sudden interruption startled everyone.

"I've been woken up."

A tall man appeared in the dim moonlight. His figure was elongated by the moonlight, and the emotions in his eyes could not be clearly seen. The atmosphere around him was cold and solemn.

Only then did everyone realize that there was a carriage hidden in the shadows that they had not noticed before, and the people in the carriage had not missed their conversation from beginning to end.

The sturdy man's eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.

This person cannot be kept!

"You are such a fool! If you had stayed quietly in the carriage, you might have escaped, but you chose to commit suicide. So I will grant your wish."

Although it was a bit strange to meet someone in the mountains, the strong man did not take the seemingly frail young man seriously.

He ordered his brothers, "Quick battle, quick decision."

However, as his younger brothers rushed forward with knives in hand, the image of blood splattering everywhere in the strong man's mind did not appear. Instead, his younger brothers suddenly fell down one by one, with black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Poison?" The strong man was horrified. He only thought that this man did not seem to be a martial arts master, but he ignored the fact that he was a master of poison.

The strong man regretted offending such a powerful figure, but there was no turning back. With all his subordinates killed, he turned around and fled, not caring about the "golden bowl" lying on the ground.

That person might have a lot of poison on him, so he definitely can't beat him. Now he can only escape.

Where there is life, there is hope!

However, he still didn't expect that Lu Shi was not only good at using poison, so when Lu Shi easily caught up with him, his plan failed.

Lu Shi raised his hand and gently scratched the man, who fell heavily to the ground. Blood was pouring out of the cut on his neck. His eyes bulged out in shock, and before he died, he was still in disbelief for his mistake.

When Lu Shi saw the blood-soaked ground under his feet, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. He threw away the blood-stained leaves in his hand, and returned to the carriage in the blink of an eye.

When her consciousness became blurred, Xiao Muyu stared at the carriage in the dark, as if she wanted to remember the face of the person in the carriage through the layers of obstructions. However, in this late night, she was destined to be disappointed.

In the end, she could only close her eyes unwillingly and fall into a coma.
