Chapter 353 Broken Knife owes him several seven-story pagodas
You don't have to think about it at all, just listening to people talk about it will automatically make the picture appear in your mind.
How could ordinary people stand that kind of scene? For a moment, retching sounds were heard from every corner.
"Do you think it's because of the old man that the group of people were trapped in there?" someone asked.
"It's hard to say. In the past few months, only their group has entered the Shu Road... No, after they entered, many people followed them in! Hiss, could it be that they were really murdered and robbed?"
"You're talking like you really saw it. It's not certain who died. Those weren't ordinary people."
"Why are you talking about this for no reason? It's scary, isn't it? Let's talk about something else!"
The topic changed quickly.
The man drinking tea turned around and looked out the window.
The raindrops are like threads, fine and dense, falling lightly, and making soft rustling sounds when they hit the eaves and window frames.
The edge of the dining table by the window was wet by the raindrops that came in slantingly, leaving a small patch of moisture.
The hand placed on that side can also feel the coolness of autumn.
"Master, there is a letter." The man in black who had just walked in from outside the inn took off the hat on his head, shook off the rain, put it aside, and wiped the water stains on his hands with his clothes before taking out the letter he had just received from his arms and handing it to the man.
The man nodded, and without avoiding the eyes and ears, he unfolded the secret letter rolled into a stick.
"They've already passed the Dongpu and Nansang defense lines and are heading for Tianfeng Mountain." Folding the letter and putting it away, the man spoke softly and calmly, his face expressionless. "Send a message to Lü Man. Don't stop them. Let them pass."
The people around him who were chatting enthusiastically could not hear what he was saying at all, and did not dare to look at him easily.
In fact, it was because his aura was so noble that ordinary people naturally felt fear in their hearts.
"It has been raining for several days, making the Shu Road even more difficult to travel. Even if no one stops them, it will take a lot of effort to reach Tianfeng Mountain. Master, please go in now—"
"No rush. I'm only here to watch the fun. Su Jiuni isn't that easy to deal with. And that guy named Bai Yu is her advisor. Let's wait until their purpose becomes clear before we make any decisions."
"yes."
Although the rain these days is not heavy, it is intermittent and the mountain roads are particularly slippery after being soaked in mud.
Even though he had some kung fu skills, he was still covered in mud spots and mud marks after walking all the way, which made him look embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Tianfeng Mountain was right in front of them, and with no one to stop them, Tianbao didn't move forward.
We found a cave nearby to take shelter from the rain and rest.
The old man built a fire at the entrance of the cave to dry his clothes, cursing, "So they call it a great country? Bullshit! They're charging all the way here and you didn't even try to stop them. What's the difference between this and abandoning the city and fleeing? I'll write a few big words on them later, and next time I see them, I'll just stick them on their flags!"
"Grandpa Du, what do you want to write?"
"You cowards!"
Bai Yu sat on the ground leaning against the mountain wall, the corner of his mouth curled up. "Alright, this is something you should do, Grandpa Du. Make those cowards face up to their own status. They always wave the flag of a great power to act superior, which is really annoying, isn't it?"
"You're right, I just look down on those who look down on me. Run away if you want, escape if you want, but you act like I'm letting you in to see what you can do, Tui! Come back and fight me if you dare!"
The three big countries that came all had Dogecoin and other things.
It would have been fine if they had just run away early, but they even took out all the things in the tent!
Still can't catch up with Yun Qin's generosity.
Grandpa has gained nothing since he passed through Mingyue Gorge!
The three brothers of the Su family took the hay they got from Tianbao, spread a layer of it on the ground, and lay down with some dry clothes.
Su Wu kicked off his muddy shoes and lay down on the hay, exhausted. "The road to Shu is difficult, harder than climbing to heaven. My feet are almost blistered. Call me when it's time to eat. I'm going to sleep first."
"How can you be so spoiled at such a young age? Get up and cook!" Su An was also tired. He occupied a place on the hay and kicked Su Wu.
He didn't move at all and actually started snoring.
Su Wen, "How disgraceful! Boss, if this happens when I fall asleep, don't touch me, let me sleep."
Su An, "Okay, okay, brother is going to humiliate Siwen now, let's talk after dinner."
Su Wen, “…”
On the other side of the cave, the two little girls, Xiaomai Sui and Bing'er, had already fallen asleep unconscious.
Tianbao put two thin shirts on them, got up and went to the entrance of the cave, squatting with the old man to listen to the rain and barbecue.
"Tianbao, roast a chicken for me too," Bai Yu weakly crawled to her side, raised his pretty face and looked eagerly, "Sprinkle some spices on it."
The poisonous old man's triangular eyes drooped. "Grandpa roasted you? Sprinkled with spices? You look so tender, the taste should be right."
"Tsk, Grandpa Du, you think we're just kids, can you just scare us with a simple word? How about you grill one for me? You're an expert at grilling meat!"
"Huh, do you really need to praise Grandpa's craftsmanship? That's a skill the old man has cultivated over decades!"
"You've been eating barbecue every day for decades?"
"Not only that, when I was young, I wandered around and stayed in a dilapidated temple on a mountain for half a year. Grandpa almost ate all the birds and animals on that mountain to extinction."
"And then?"
"Then the hunter down the mountain got angry and ran to the dilapidated temple to set traps for me, treating me like a wild animal. Fuck him!"
"And then?"
"Then Grandpa will go somewhere else to catch rabbits and hunt birds. If I'm not welcome here, I'll find another place that will! Traveling around the world, I can go anywhere."
When Bai Yu and Tian Bao heard this, a strange smile appeared on their lips.
Therefore, the old man's bad reputation was only spread among his enemies who had truly offended him.
It's not about killing innocent people.
The medicine he used most often was some laxatives and itching powder. When he wanted to scare people, he would make them develop pustules and boils, and the boils would heal naturally after the poison dissipated.
Probably the biggest problem is that when I see good medicinal herbs, I want them all.
"Grandpa Du, I rarely hear you talk about the past. How did you get to know Uncle Duan Dao?" Tian Bao asked casually, as he was in the mood to chat.
When talking about this, the old man's face flashed a little unnatural, "...that's how we met."
Bai Yu leaned forward, eagerly seeking relief, "What?"
The old man slapped his head away with one hand, stiffened his neck and yelled, "I have too many enemies. They knew I usually like to stay in the dilapidated temple and set an ambush in advance, hoping to kill me. But Broken Knife saved my life. What else do you have to ask?"
"So it was Uncle Broken Blade who saved you. No wonder you two stayed together afterwards."
"I forced him to stay with me afterwards." He no longer felt ashamed after saying the shameful thing. Du Buqin twirled the dry branch in his hand, flipping the rabbit on the fork. His eyes were a little hazy as he recalled the past. "Back then, Du Dao looked lifeless, as if he had suffered more injustice than the old man. You all know that Grandpa Du will never forget his grudges and repay his kindness. I saw that he looked like he was going to commit suicide at any moment. Tsk, how soft-hearted I was! So I followed him."
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Duan Dao owes him several seven-story pagodas.
