Chapter 80 Smell of Blood
At night, at 10 p.m.
After everyone had eaten their fill, they all made their own beds on the floor next to their own fires.
Everyone was tired after a long day, and as soon as they lay down, some of them started snoring.
Shen Changan looked sideways at Xu Zhiyi next to him and saw her raising her hands to count the stars?
"Madam? You can't sleep?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi turned sideways to Shen Changan and whispered, “A family next to us is competing in snoring, it’s a little noisy.”
After hearing this, Shen Changan reached out and covered Xu Zhiyi's ears. When he realized what was happening, he was also shocked. How come his hands were one step ahead of his brain!!!
But he still blushed and said softly: "My wife, I will cover your ears for you, you go to sleep!"
Xu Zhiyi: “…” Is this considered teasing her? I’m a little moved!!!
The two of them just looked at each other until Xu Zhiyi felt his eyes were tired! He closed his eyes, and after a while, he actually fell asleep.
Shen Changan saw Xu Zhiyi fall asleep, and then he closed his eyes and went to sleep with peace of mind.
Sure enough, after a while, Xu Zhiyi next to him put his hand on Shen Changan's face again.
Shen Changan, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes and carefully took his hand away, but after a while, Xu Zhiyi put it back. In the end, Shen Changan simply put her hand on his arm and let his wife sleep with her arm around his.
After maintaining this posture for a short while, Xu Zhiyi turned sideways to Su's side and also put one hand on Su's face, but Su was sleeping so soundly that he was completely unaware.
Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi from the side and smiled helplessly, his smile full of doting.
the next day.
After getting up and having breakfast, we started another half-day journey.
Today we have to pass through a mountain road, which goes directly through the woods. After we enter the woods, the further we go, the stronger the smell of blood.
The village chief raised his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Everyone stop, something is wrong in the forest."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li confirmed: "It is the smell of blood, very strong."
Mrs. Hu: "The smell of blood? Could it be that there are giant insects in there that eat people?"
Xu Zhiyi looked at the head of the village and asked, "Uncle Lin, do we have any other way besides this one?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "This is the only way, unless we go around the mountain."
Lin Yu: "Dad, why don't we take a detour?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the village looked around and saw that everyone was carrying a cart with things. If they went around the mountain, everyone would have to abandon the cart. Besides, Shen Dalang had an inconvenient leg, and the journey would be very difficult without a cart.
"Well, everyone, take a rest here for a while, I'll go ahead and explore the way."
When the Lin clan members heard that the head of the village was going to explore the way ahead, they all said:
"Uncle San, let us young men explore the way. You stay here with everyone and wait for our good news."
"Yes! Uncle San, if we encounter any danger, we can run and never let the danger catch up with us."
Lin Yu also agreed: "Dad, we go, you stay"
The village head saw that everyone was vying to go on the adventure and waved his hand to refuse.
Finally, Lin Yu and several young men from the tribe went to explore the way. Xu Zhiyi persuaded the three of his own family members, and after a while, the three of them agreed to let Xu Zhiyi go with them.
Xu Zhiyi's idea was that if there was really any danger ahead, she could use the space to help. If it was really a last resort, she could buy them some time to escape. After they escaped successfully, she could flash into the space and hide first.
After walking for about five minutes, they saw dozens of corpses on the ground.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the bodies on their bodies. The blood on their faces was still bright, which showed that they had died not long ago. And looking at the uniform clothes they were wearing, they were the assassins mentioned on TV, dressed in black.
Lin Yu looked at the corpses on the ground and frowned: "They are not civilians fleeing famine, they are assassins"
Then he looked around and saw nothing was wrong before saying, "It should be fine. The people who killed them have probably left long ago. I'll go back and inform them that they can leave. You can wait here."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi pointed at the body beside Lin Yu, then looked at the guys from the Lin clan and said, "Don't just stand there! Look around on them. If they have silver, they can't use it now, so let's take advantage of it!"
As he said that, he squatted down and started touching the corpse.
Upon hearing this, several people and Lin Yu also hurriedly started looking. After searching more than a dozen people, they actually found more than 20 taels of silver from these people. On average, each person could get 4 or 5 taels of silver.
Xu Zhiyi also received nearly six taels of silver in total.
After Lin Yu put away the silver, he happily walked back to notify everyone to come over.
When the village head brought everyone over, they saw the pile of corpses and subconsciously tried to stay as far away from them as possible.
After this setback, everything went smoothly afterwards.
Everyone has been circling this mountain road. As long as they get around these mountains and see the official road, they will be very close to the next city!
We walked for two hours (four hours) before we stopped to rest and make lunch.
After stopping, the first thing Xu Zhiyi did was to pull Shen Wuyou to the woods to change his medicine.
After I applied the medicine to him, I suddenly felt a little pain in my stomach and had to find a place to squat.
"Wuyou, you go back first"
Shen Wuyou heard this and looked at Xu Zhiyi curiously: “What’s wrong?”
Xu Zhiyi covered her stomach with one hand and motioned him to leave with the other hand: "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, I need to find a place to relieve it."
Shen Wuyou blushed when she heard this, and turned around shyly: "Wife, don't run too far! Just find a bush nearby that can block you, I'll wait for you here, if there is anything, just shout it out"
Xu Zhiyi nodded, then covered her stomach and quickly ran to a nearby tall bush to squat down.
After an incense stick of time, Xu Zhiyi stood up with a sense of relief.
Just as I was about to leave, there seemed to be movement in the grass next to me.
Is there prey inside???
Just as I was about to bend down and take a cautious look, a weak voice rang out.
"Save...me"
Xu Zhiyi exploded when he heard this!
She just squatted beside me and took a shit!!!
She even thought of finding a bush where she could squat down as safe as possible.
"cough……"
But after hearing a painful sound coming from the grass, Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment, then carefully went over and pulled away the grass. He saw a woman lying in the grass covered in blood with a dagger stuck in her back.
