It was a dilapidated straw house, and the wind creaked through its wooden door.
Little Ke walked in leading Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird. A dimly lit room can only be illuminated by sunlight entering through doors and windows.
"Uncle Jiu! Uncle Jiu!" Little Ke called out.
A hunchback old man walked slowly with his cane, his wrinkled face covered with weather scars, and his narrowed eyes looked extremely old.
"Brat, what a big idea is yelling so loud, this old man's ears have no trouble hearing." Uncle Jiu scolded Little Ke, his murky eyes leading to Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird who were standing beside Little Ke.
"Hey, Uncle Jiu, I'm in a hurry to find you." Little Ke honestly held his head.
"These two kids are?" Uncle Jiu asked.
Little Ke immediately explained, "Uncle Jiu, these two children are very pitiful. They followed their families to run their businesses, as a result they met bandits halfway through, the people had been scattered, and both were chaotic and arrived at our village. Uncle Jiu you have to help these two kids ah."
While on the way, Shen Yanxiao found a worthy reason for her and Vermilion Bird's appearance. Little Ke trusted him very much and said this to Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu looked at the two fragile children in front of him. He paused for a moment before sighing softly.
"What a pity for the children. You two find a seat and I'll go prepare some food for you. It's late too. There is nowhere else but our village near here. Let's wait if your loved ones will come, otherwise, I'll try to send you back tomorrow. "
Shen Yanxiao was somewhat surprised by Uncle Jiu's words. Little Ke didn't say much about Uncle Jiu along the way. He was not only the village chief, but also the only doctor in this village. Shen Yanxiao thought that the other party would be rather ingenious. But now it seemed like he was as simple as the other villagers.
No other questions at all. Just by Little Ke's words, the old man believed in the origin of the two of them, and had no intention of asking any further.
If Shen Yanxiao did not know that the Cave Wolves Charge Army Corps had an accident in this village, then it would be very difficult for her to associate the people in this village with the word danger.
"Hey, I already let Old Ba get food for these two kids a while ago. Uncle Jiu, you know, these two little kids are skinny, they must have suffered a lot all along ..." Little Ke was very worried as he opened his mouth.
"Naturally it's not easy to find these things at such a young age." Uncle Jiu responded.
Little Ke said with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, now that you're here, why don't you see the wound on my back as well? I've been itching a lot lately."
Uncle Jiu nodded.
Little Ke took off his clothes, revealing a strong upper body.
On that red-colored back, a huge ferocious wound appeared in Shen Yanxiao's line of sight.
The wound was so big that it almost covered Little Ke's entire back. Despite the scab, it was still shocking.
Uncle Jiu inspected Little Ke and said to the stunned Shen Yanxiao by the side, "Does that scare you? Little Ke accidentally fell down a moment ago, rubbing the skin on his back. If you feel afraid, you can sit here for a while while Come with me Little Ke, I will give you another medicine that will make you fine after a while.”
After he spoke, Uncle Jiu brought Little Ke to the room on the other side.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the backs of the two people, her clear eyes deepening as a trace of suspicion emerged from them.
Fall down and then rub his skin?
Such an explanation, if it was an ordinary child, maybe they could fool them, but Shen Yanxiao was very sure, Little Ke's wound on his back was not at all due to a fall, but rather because of a fall, it was a wound caused by fire magic.
Seeing how his wound healed, it must have happened half a month ago.
The time when the Cave Wolves Pay Army Corps was attacked, and the time when Little Ke's injuries occurred almost simultaneously.
Shen Yanxiao was convinced that Little Ke's injury on her back was caused by the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps.
But Uncle Jiu actually said that Little Ke's injury was just an accident?
When he saw Little Ke's injuries, he felt a bit strange. While Uncle Jiu was explaining about it, Shen Yanxiao quietly observed Little Ke's expression. Little Ke looked the same, but when Uncle Jiu said he accidentally fell, he only revealed a hint of embarrassment, as if what Uncle Jiu said was true.
Little Ke's mind was very simple, even if he was just pretending, it was impossible for him.
That is, he also believed that the wound was because he accidentally fell?
Such a suspicious situation, Shen Yanxiao could not help but have her brows furrowed slightly.
Little Ke did not look like he was lying, but it was highly unlikely that his guess as to where the wound was coming from was wrong.
There must be something in this situation that he could not think of.
While Shen Yanxiao was pondering over various things, and before Little Ke could call to eat, Uncle Ba came carrying five or six big fat radishes.
"Ha, you two must be hungry, right? You eat this radish first to fill your stomach while taking water; you eat first while I do that." Uncle Ba laughed as he put the items on the table.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and picked up the radish while looking at the honest Old Ba. Smiling he said, "Thank you, Uncle Old Ba."
Old Ba chuckled and scratched his head somewhat embarrassed.
There were no children in their village, so they were very concerned about these two immature little lives.
"What thanks, don't mention it. Where are Little Ke and Uncle Jiu?" Old Ba asked after not seeing Little Ke's figure.
Shen Yanxiao's eyes moved, slowly gnawing on the radish in her mouth, she said, "Uncle Jiu brought little uncle over to apply medicine for him. Uncle Old Ba, uncle's back injury to the scary, must have been very painful."
Old Ba laughed and said, "Oh, what about the injury? It was also because Little Ke was stupid, taking a walk in the middle of the night only to accidentally fall, and end up with such a thing. Only the skin is broken, no problem. It just looks terrible to people but don't be afraid ah."
"No problem, ai, you kids like to make a fuss. Take a look, this old uncle's arm isn't broken even if there's a big wound." In order to prove that Little Ke's wound was no big deal, Old Ba directly rolled up his sleeves and exposed the wound on his left arm to Shen Yanxiao.
The puncture wound on half of the arm hung on Old Ba's large arm.
"Uncle Old Ba, what happened to you?" Shen Yanxiao asked.
Old Ba smiled and replied, "Oh, I don't sleep well at night. I fell down and the rock on the ground scratched it a little. You see I'm fine, it's really nothing!"
Stone scratches…
Shen Yanxiao silently frowned. It was clearly a puncture wound that was not caused by a swordsman but rather a knight. Although the wound is about
to heal now, it can be concluded from the wound that the puncture at that time was really deep so that the bones were clearly visible.
It was impossible for a normal person to take it out of a rock.
First
at a glance, one could tell that Little Ke and Old Ba's wounds were the work of the Witch and Swordsman, but the two of them still received two such absurd things.
and vile excuses?
Really too weird ah.
"Uncle Old Ba, you and Uncle Ke were injured at night?" To get more information, Shen Yanxiao pretended to be smart and opened her mouth.
Old Ba nodded and without hiding anything he said, “Yes ah, it all happened at night. Not only us, many people in our village were injured, but they
nor is it a serious injury. Uncle Jiu said since we are close to the grave, the negative atmosphere here is thick, and there will be ghosts
which causes problems at night, so this situation will usually occur. Fortunately, nothing serious, and we're used to it. ” Old Ba chuckled, he didn't do it
think something's wrong.
However, Shen Yanxiao felt even stranger as she listened.
Old Ba did not lie. But for the villagers who were collectively injured at night, there really was something wrong with this. And Shen Yanxiao was very clear
that the villagers were wounded not because of the ghosts that caused the trouble, but because of the fight
the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps.
The question is, why do the villagers here seem to not remember him at all?
And that terrible wound seemed to be nothing in their eyes. If it was someone else, they would be bedridden and weak, and not
it had been as lively as Little Ke and Old Ba. If not for the injuries to the two men, Shen Yanxiao could hardly believe that they were indeed like that
Injured.
Shen Yanxiao was confused, a speck of dust fell in front of her nose.
Before he could react, Old Ba suddenly jumped up, stretched out his hand, and quickly raised Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird, then new
back to the door.
The next second, a large piece of straw fell from the roof and fell where they were standing before.
“Ai, I said Uncle Jiu, you have to fix this house, when are you going to fix this,
ah." Old Ba looked at the falling straw, his eyes seemed accustomed
this scene, and his mouth also casually said something.
Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird were currently being dragged by both hands, as easy as dragging two pieces of tofu instead
two guys.
Even if an adult man wanted to react in such a short amount of time, and drag the two of them away, it was most likely impossible to drag the two along.
get into the air in an exaggerated way.
Shen Yanxiao was even more surprised that Old Ba's quick movements were in no way inferior to someone with an Intermediate profession.
However, he did not feel a glimmer of dou qi and magic in Old Ba's body.
'Some villagers have great power ...' Du Lang's words echoed in Shen Yanxiao's mind. Shen Yanxiao slightly narrowed her eyes.
It seemed that everything Du Lang said was true.
But, what exactly was hidden in this barren village? What makes everything look so strange?
Unexplained riots, unknown villagers, the great power of Old Ba, as well as unbelievable reasons for the injuries of the villagers…
