Stay alive

The Sanhu Village stands on the flat part of the Sanhu Mountain. The village almost surrounds the entire mountainside. The house looks quite new, as if it was built not long ago.

The head of the family that the bandits said seemed to have no time to see anyone, so the bandits put the newly captured 'trophy' into a wooden prison. The wooden fence was so rough that an adult man could break it open with one hand.

There was no guard outside the wooden prison, and the bandits seemed to know that the captives would not be able to escape.

The seemingly inconspicuous Sanhu Village has hundreds of strong bandits. Most of them are people who have been tortured in the face. Most of them are slaves or criminals.

"Sorry, I didn't expect to meet bandits." Xing Wu and Lin Qiannan stood facing each other.

Lin Qiannan leaned against the railing, raised his chin and said, "You didn't do it unintentionally. It has nothing to do with me whether Sanhuzhai is dangerous or not. You wasted my time."

Xing Wu made a look of embarrassment, he touched his chin, scratched the back of his head, rolled his eyes a few times, pretending to be innocent and confused.

Pretending to be like this really wronged Han Qi.Lin Qiannan said silently in his heart.

"Then let me tell you quietly," Xing Wu seemed to have made up his mind, "my father said that if I wiped out Sanhuzhai, I would be a high official when I return to the capital!"

You are the biggest official, do you still need to be an official?

Lin Qiannan did not expose him, but walked around the wooden prison, only seeing a few bandits eating meat and drinking in the distance, "The bandits finally escaped from the prison, and did not do anything vicious, why should we exterminate them?" ?”

"Why not?" Xing Wu pointed at them and said, "Although Sanhu Mountain is good, it is not suitable for cultivation. Without cultivation and labor, they eat, drink and play all day long. Their supplies are created out of thin air?"

"Maybe..." In fact, Lin Qiannan was not at all interested in whether they did anything harmful or not.

Xing Wu laughed back angrily, and stopped talking. They stayed alone for a while in silence, and the bandits who escorted them came back with "trophies"—several weeping women!

They were locked in a wooden prison not far away. The powerless women had no ability to resist except crying and begging for mercy.

"I want this woman!"

"Whatever you want! It's all for the big head to treat the disease!!"

"Have you played with the head office? Damn it, don't tell me!" the bandit said and entered the wooden prison.

The other bandits stood guard at the door, telling the other women in the same wooden prison to shut up from time to time.

All this has fallen into the eyes of Xing Wu and Lin Qiannan, no matter how angry they are, they have nothing to show for it. Their only choice now is to protect themselves wisely. Xing Wu clenched his fists and waited for the indifferent Lin Qiannan to say something out of his heart. .

Lin Qiannan didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything. He knew that he should pity those innocent people, but he was very indifferent in his heart, and he answered the sentence that it had nothing to do with him.

Xing Wu's eyes flickered darkly, taking advantage of Lin Qiannan's unpreparedness, he took out a small tube and released it towards the sky. After the beam of dim light went out, ordinary birdsong rang out from the forest.

Xing Wu said softly: "Brother Qiannan, those women may be whose wives, mothers, or daughters."

There was commotion outside the wooden prison, and pairs of feet stepped on the dusty mud floor, and the rolled up dust blinded the eyes.

"Everyone gather at the gate of the village! Someone broke into the village!" The bandits in the distance shouted loudly to the brothers who hadn't assembled yet.

The man who was holding the wind hurriedly dragged out the bandit who had just caught the woman he liked, and ran to the gate of the village in a hurry. The women comforted the woman who had not been humiliated.

Lin Qiannan turned his head and said, "There are too many poor people in the world, can you save them?"

Xing Wu took two steps forward, and retracted his hand just as he was about to touch Lin Qiannan's profile, the wry smile on his mouth was fleeting.

Lin Qiannan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, what was Lin Qiannan like before?In my memory, Lin Qiannan was very kind and righteous, but his indifference was completely different from the former him?

"To save, we have to find the right way to save." Lin Qiannan looked at the bandits who were in a hurry, "There are about 200 bandits, but there is only one head of the family, which shows that they are very united and loyal to the head. Bandits are like an army. If we are reckless, we will not be able to protect ourselves."

Xing Wu looked like he didn't understand anything, he opened his eyes and waited for Lin Qiannan's order, and Lin Qiannan closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the bandits to arrange.

In the early morning of the next day, the bandits who had been patrolling all night didn't find any movement from the group, so they relaxed, but they had no intention of torturing the women.

The three bandits sat chatting not far away, and every word fell into Lin Qiannan's ears.

"Recently, the village is very unstable. Not to mention that the head of the family is sick, there are still strangers who dare to make trouble."

"The stranger we caught yesterday will be captured and shown to the head of the house. The thin one is very handsome, and the head of the house may like it."

Lin Qiannan showed a mocking smile for no reason, but Xing Wu beside him made a movement. Xing Wu grabbed the railing with both hands and turned his back to Lin Qiannan, looking at the bandit who was muttering.

"The head of the family is sick, where is he in the mood to mess with people? It's good if the illness recovers. Didn't the person last night be caught?"

"Last night, there was a whole night of rioting, but no one was caught. I saw more than ten people and broke the gate of the village, but I couldn't find it. It's really strange!"

"Could it be someone sent by the court?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! How much silver in vain does our village hand over to the prefect every month?! Besides, we generally don't commit crimes, and when we commit crimes, our hands and feet are clean. The prefect helps us suppress the news. Maybe the higher-ups don't know that there is a Sanhu Fortress!"

Lin Qiannan had almost heard it, and stood beside Xing Wu and shouted to those people: "Hello!"

The thieves have no self-cultivation and don't mind what others call them. After they looked at each other, a bald head patted their buttocks and walked towards the wooden prison.

"What are you doing?!" the bald head exclaimed.

"My dear brother and I are healers, and we go around for doctors. There are secret recipes in our ancestors, and many people have been saved. You take us to meet the head of the family. If you can cure the illness of the head of the family, you will let us go. If you can't cure it Well, if you want to kill or cut it up to your disposal, how about it?" Lin Qiannan smiled and said to the bald head.

With a bald head and a hesitant face, he looked at Lin Qiannan for a while, and then at the stern Xing Wu for a while, and couldn't believe his words for a while.

Lin Qiannan said again: "You must have used many methods, and it won't do anything if you try it. If the cure is cured, the credit will be entirely yours, as long as you let us go!"

The bald head spat, touched the top of the blue head, "You guys wait here!" The bald head ran to discuss with the brothers.

Xing Wu was surprised and said, "Brother Qiannan, do you know how to heal illnesses?"

Lin Qiannan suppressed his voice, "Fake, I don't know how to heal patients, but if I don't, I'm afraid those girls will lose their lives!"

Xing Wu hugged Lin Qiannan happily, his tall body bent and buried into his shoulder, "Qiannan, you haven't changed, that's great..."

In fact, whether Lin Qiannan makes a move, Xing Wu will save people, even if it means revealing his identity.Lin Qiannan was still unwilling to confront Han Qi frankly, and he hadn't figured out the purpose of Han Qi's trip yet.

Lin Qiannan pretended not to hear clearly, pushed him away and said, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Xing Wu was a little disappointed when he pushed him away, "If you need my help, just tell me."

The other two probably went to report, and the bald head came alone, his eyes turned back and forth between the two, as if making a choice, and finally chose Xing Wu, who had always been cold to him.

"You, come with me to meet the master!" The bald head pointed at Xing Wu, and then said to Lin Qiannan, "You stay here!"

A bald head is still smart, taking away one person and keeping the other, the double guarantee is difficult to cause trouble.

"Okay," Lin Qiannan said to Xing Wu, "Speak well to the master, don't speak impulsively, remember, I'm here." His words were to remind Xing Wu not to be impulsive, there is nothing he can do if he stays here go out.

There was a flash of light in Xing Wu's eyes, and he nodded vigorously.

Lin Qiannan had no choice but to wait in the prison, but after a while, the bald head came to take him to see the head of the family.

The bald head's expression was cryptic, with the intention of probing, but he didn't say anything. He just took him into a two-story bamboo house. The first floor of the bamboo house was covered with rich herbs, and the second floor was covered with curtains. The walls were covered with weird oaths, and the bald head told him to go in by himself.

Lin Qiannan opened layers of curtains and saw a bed covered in red gauze, and the people inside were breathing heavily but intermittently.

Xing Wu stood beside him with downcast eyes.

"You... are you a quack doctor?" The voice of the person in the red gauze sounded like a rusty iron sword rubbing against the ground, very hoarse and rough.

Lin Qiannan walked around in a circle, and after finding out the layout of the house, he said, "Yes, can I feel the pulse of the head?"

The person inside the red gauze paused for a while, and coughed earth-shatteringly, as if there was something stuck in his chest that needed to be removed. He said viciously: "Damn, you doctors and warlocks only know how to torment me! This room is full of people. The bullshit is useless! My illness is getting worse instead!"

"In my humble opinion, they have regarded you as a ghost, and this formation is to expel ghosts rather than cure diseases." Lin Qiannan laughed.

Xing Wu and Lin Qiannan looked at each other inadvertently, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha, so I killed them all!"

The smiles of the two froze at the same time, Lin Qiannan frowned at Xing Wu, Xing Wu moved his mouth to "play by ear", Lin Qiannan nodded.

"Go and look at the window on the left!"

Lin Qiannan hesitated for a moment, and moved to the window together with Xing Wu, only took a look, and then looked away.

"Do you see it?!"

"I saw it."

On the muddy floor outside the window were scattered limbs and broken arms!Among the white bones, there are two ferocious long-mansled wild boars gnawing and turning over the bloody soil.

"Give me a good cure. If it's cured, please eat fresh wild boar. If it's not cured...you are the fodder for wild boars!"

Xing Wu looked "worried", and whispered to Lin Qiannan, "What if it can't be cured? We have to die for love together."

"Martyrdom?" Lin Qiannan didn't understand why he used this word.

"I didn't expect there to be a man as a couple. He said that you and him are husband and wife. This is the first time I have met a couple like you. It's strange!" The head's laughter accompanied by coughing gradually lifted the red veil.

Xing Wu just took a look at the master, then covered Lin Qiannan's mouth and nose.

The author has something to say:

Cough, cough, I'm probably the one in charge, coughing non-stop
