"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy and went to buy meat, the son-in-law wouldn't have met with an accident!" Fang grabbed his hair, his eyes bloodshot as he spoke with extreme self-blame.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is to find the son-in-law." A man dressed in coarse clothing patted his shoulder and instructed the people beside him, "Since the worker from the carriage shop last saw the son-in-law at the foot of the mountain, let's follow the road up the mountain and look. Something might have really happened. Perhaps we'll meet the son-in-law halfway."
"Brother Xu is right." Another man hurriedly added, "Perhaps the son-in-law suddenly remembered that there was something he had to do when he went up the mountain and returned to the prefectural city. How about this, you guys look along the road first. While the city gates are not closed, I'll go to Ruyi Square and the county yamen to take a look. If there's news of the son-in-law, I'll come back to inform you immediately. "
These men were the ones who had worked by Li Yi's side in the beginning. From Fang's anxious expression and words, they could guess what had happened. At this moment, three to five people discussed for a moment and hurriedly left the stockade village. They followed the mountain road and looked all the way down.
Fang's eyes became even more bloodshot. After looking back at a certain courtyard, he rushed down the mountain.
"Second Miss, Miss will definitely find the son-in-law …" Night had completely fallen. A figure stood at the doorway and looked down the mountain as she murmured.
She didn't hear the second miss's reply. When she turned her head again, a fine horse rushed out of the courtyard and crossed the threshold. Under the bright moonlight, the figure of the woman on the horse quickly disappeared from her sight.
… …
"A scholar doesn't lie. I said I'll wait for you here, so I'll wait for you here."
Wu Ying watched as the scholar walked in front of him, pointed at his nose, and said such words. A mocking expression appeared on his face.
This scholar must have really studied so much that he had become stupid. He was delusional enough to use such words to deceive him … Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a buzzing sound suddenly came to his ears. Then, a strong sense of life and death suddenly came.
A black speck of light shot out of the scholar's sleeve and rapidly enlarged in his eyes.
Wu Ying's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it. However, the reason why Li Yi had walked so close to him just now was so that he wouldn't have time to react. The last thing Wu Ying saw was an expanse of blood red.
Ah!
A shrill voice suddenly came out from the shack. Wu Ying held the arrow in his eye with one of his hands. His facial features were all twisted together, and the expression on his face was hideous and terrifying.
The improved sleeve crossbow made by Uncle Han couldn't be fired consecutively, and Li Yi didn't think he could finish off Wu Ying in one go. After hearing the sound of the crossbow, he lifted the waist knife under his feet into his hand and stabbed forward.
Puff!
It was the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh.
Wu Ying held the hidden dart in his eye with one hand and tightly gripped the blade with the other. Blood dripped down. Li Yi's blade was finally blocked by him.
"You deserve to die!"
He suddenly raised his hand. Li Yi's hand shook, and the waist knife in his hand flew out. Wu Ying hit his abdomen with a backhand palm. Li Yi only felt like being hit by a fierce beast. He spat out blood from his mouth and hit the wood of the shack. The pain in his abdomen was unbearable, as if his internal organs were displaced.
After hitting Li Yi with one palm, Wu Ying had already rushed over again in the next moment.
"Watch the arrow!"
Li Yi suddenly raised his sleeve.
The previous arrow was still stuck in Wu Ying's eye. Seeing this, his expression changed. His whole body flipped in the air strangely and fell heavily to the side, dodging.
He didn't hear the sound of the bowstring.
Li Yi's forehead was full of cold sweat. He covered his abdomen, leaned against the shack, and sat up with difficulty. He waved his hand at Wu Ying and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding you."
"You're kidding me!"
The expression on Wu Ying's face became more ferocious. He picked up the long knife beside him and walked step by step towards Li Yi.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."
According to his original plan, after forcing the Ruyi Dew's formula from the scholar's mouth, he would immediately kill him, regardless of whether he was a county officer or not. From then on, he would escape thousands of miles away and let him roam freely between heaven and earth.
Not only would he get his revenge, but with the Ruyi Dew's formula, no matter where he went, he would not be short of money. At that time, he could have as many women as he wanted. Why would he still think about Liu Ruyi!
However, he didn't expect that the other party was just a weak scholar who could kill him with one hand. Naturally, he let down his guard — and then he failed miserably.
Who would have thought that this scholar could shoot arrows from his sleeve?
If he didn't look down on him and checked carefully, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
It was too late to say all this now. The sharp pain had caused his consciousness to become a little fuzzy. That eye might not be able to stay. No matter how regretful he was at this time, it would be of no use. Once he had forced the formula out of him, he would definitely try thousands of punishments on him to take revenge for this arrow!
After taking two steps, Wu Ying's legs suddenly went soft and he knelt on the ground.
"It's finally working …"
Li Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, Wu Ying's hand no longer had the strength to hold the knife, and his body fell straight down.
"You …" Wave after wave of strong tiredness hit his mind. Relying on a tenacious willpower, he spoke with difficulty.
"I put poison on the arrow …"
Li Yi slowly moved to his side, picked up the waist knife beside him, and placed it on his neck.
"Brother Wu, goodbye." Wu Ying held the knife handle and wiped it gently. His remaining eye suddenly opened wide.
"Don't worry, I will burn the formula of Ruyi dew for you when I get back. I hope there are no transmigrators in the hell of this world."
After saying this, Li Yi seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body, and his whole body went limp next to Wu Ying.
Thanks to Uncle Han's craftsmanship, thanks to the powerful knockout drug used by Daniu and his wife, and thanks to the formula of the floral water, Wu Ying didn't use the knife at the beginning …
There was a tingling sensation on his thigh. When he reached out to touch it, it was sticky. He was afraid that it was stung by a branch just now. There was also a big hole in his clothes. He sat up with his hands, tore off a strip of cloth, and made a simple bandage. Only then did he turn to look at Wu Ying.
This guy was simply a psychopath.
On the first day after transmigrating, he was taken back to the village. Was this his fault?
Just for such a small matter, did he have to risk his life?
Damn it, did he still care about the law?
Even martial arts masters would die if their necks were slit. A dead martial arts master, even if he didn't care about the law, would not be so terrifying.
However, it would be disgusting.
One of Wu Ying's eyes was pierced by a sleeve arrow, and it was already soaked in blood. The other eye was wide open, as if it was about to burst out of its socket. His throat was cut, and blood flowed on the ground …
Vomit!
As a person of two lives, it was the first time that Li Yi saw such a scene.
In particular, all of this was done by him. When his life was hanging by a thread just now, he didn't feel anything, but now he couldn't bear it. Li Yi turned his head and retched on the spot.
At this time, under the cold moonlight, on the path leading to the shack, a few strong figures were approaching.
