The man kneeling there had visible knife wounds on his body.
When he saw Qi Lin and his group, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then quickly dimmed.
"Brother, it's only natural for us to help each other when we're out and about. How about I bandage you first?"
Qi Lin came to his senses and saw that his godfather and godmother did not object, so he made a suggestion.
The man slowly turned over and lay flat on the ground. He glanced at the person who came and then shook his head with all his strength, saying, "Don't bother. It's useless."
He was stabbed in the vitals and lost too much blood, hanging on by a thread.
Now that he saw someone coming, the man relaxed and his whole body became limp and powerless, like a puddle of water.
Jiang Yuzhu stepped forward to check the man's injuries and shook her head at Qi Lin.
It’s not that she didn’t want to save him, but it was too late. The man was already dying.
"Brother, we just met by chance. I know I shouldn't say these things, but I... have something on my mind."
The man lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his chest.
Qi Lin asked hurriedly, "Are you going to take off your clothes?"
"There is a secret pocket inside the shirt, and inside is three thousand taels of silver."
This silver was not robbed and was the man's last fortune.
He spoke haltingly, but the group understood the general idea.
The man's name is Song Laoshi, and he and Song Xiaomei depend on each other for survival.
Because they grew up without parents, the Song brothers and sisters had a hard life.
In order to earn more money, Song Laoshi went to a martial arts school to learn martial arts for a few years, and then joined the escort team as a bodyguard.
Because of his good skills, Song Laoshi got the opportunity and went on a life-or-death escort mission. He didn't care about life or death, as he could make a lot of money if he survived.
"I've agreed with my younger sister that this will be my last time as a life-or-death escort. I'll earn money to marry a wife, and from now on, I'll switch to small business."
Song Laoshi realized that he was about to die and showed a look of regret.
"When I came back from escorting, I found that my younger sister was not at home. I asked the neighbors, and they said that my younger sister had gone out of town to look for me with a package."
The money was hidden very secretly at home. If it was true as the neighbor said, Song Xiaomei would definitely take the money with her.
In the money jar, there is also a red hairband that my parents bought for my younger sister before they passed away.
After becoming suspicious, Song Laoshi quietly inquired about the news, and then learned that his younger sister was deceived by a neighbor couple to work, but was actually sold!
Song Laoshi went to Sishui City just to rescue his younger sister.
On the way, he encountered two groups of people fighting and was inexplicably involved.
Song Laoshi died with his eyes open because he had not yet fulfilled his wish.
"Don't worry, half of this money will be your reward, and we'll pass the rest on to Song Xiaomei."
Jiang Yuzhu saw Song Laoshi's wish and spoke first.
Song Laoshi forced a smile, revealing the corners of his mouth. He wanted to say something but couldn't. His pupils dilated infinitely, and finally his neck drooped weakly.
Qi Lin looked very uncomfortable, and felt the silver bills in his hand were heavy. He handed over the silver and asked, "Godmother, do we really want to get involved in this trivial matter?"
Sympathy aside, Qi Lin wanted to make a promise in a fit of rage, but considering his own abilities, he didn't dare to respond.
"Agree first, and then we'll see what happens."
Jiang Yuzhu just didn't want Song Laoshi to have any regrets and self-blame before he closed his eyes.
The purpose of this trip is to find Jiang Huaiqing.
Jiang Yuzhu had a clear purpose, but she guessed that Xie Zhao would not stand idly by.
After hearing this, Qi Lin nodded repeatedly: "Godmother, you are simply the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Yes, whether he can be rescued is another matter, at least we should send Song Laoshi away first.
Qi Lin had been to Sishui City many times and knew a little about it. There was a lot of trading of women between the barbarians and the border towns.
The women of Da Qi have charming figures and are very popular with the barbarians.
In order to make money, some black people tried every means to abduct women from Da Qi and sell them in Si Shui City.
The two countries went to war and the city gates were closed. Without channels, it would be difficult to return to the border town even if you escape from the devil's lair.
In the end, it is likely that it will be repeatedly resold by the barbarians and die miserably.
After Jiang Yuzhu and Qi Lin communicated, they finally confirmed that they had the same opinion.
Xie Zhao dealt with Song Laoshi's body and separated Jiang Yuzhu and Qi Lin without leaving any trace. His words were a little colder: "The point is, there are two groups fighting in front."
Song Laoshi, who went to look for his relatives, was killed for no reason, not to mention the others.
The safest way is to walk slowly and wait for the group to come out of the tunnel first.
"The disadvantage is that the gang is likely to lie in ambush near the tunnel entrance and kill us again."
After Xie Zhao finished speaking, Qi Lin couldn't help but become more nervous.
He had walked through the tunnel several times before, and it was never as dangerous as this one.
"Before there was no war, peace brought wealth. But now it's different. If we take advantage of the situation and kill a few people, will the prefect of the border town care?"
Jiang Yuzhu saw through the desperado's mind, so don't blame her for robbing him.
After discussion, the three people not only did not stop, but instead quickened their pace.
Every few steps, there were injured people lying on the roadside.
Unlike Song Laoshi, these people have fierce eyes.
Seeing the packages piled on the cart, no one dared to move and reluctantly gave up the middle path.
Qi Lin noticed something was wrong, but wisely didn't go forward to ask questions. He was worried that the other party would take advantage of his unpreparedness to hurt him and bite him back, so it was better to stay away.
As night fell, they were getting closer and closer to the exit of the tunnel.
There was a faint glow of fire ahead, but no sound.
With every step he took, Qi Lin's heart was beating fast and he was so nervous that his face trembled slightly.
When we got closer, we saw more than a dozen tall men standing in front of us, almost blocking the entrance to the tunnel. These men had deep brows and eyes, and were obviously not from Da Qi.
"Barbarian!"
The visitor had bad intentions, and Qi Lin felt a little regretful.
It would be better to gather the injured along the way, at least they can work together to fight against the barbarians.
Now there are three of us against more than a dozen people. With our godmother here, we should have a chance of winning, right?
The leading barbarian saw Jiang Yuzhu, looked her up and down, and said to his brothers behind him in barbarian language: "Although she is a little old, she has a good figure!"
Jiang Yuzhu didn't understand, so she leaned over to Xie Zhao and asked, "What did these people say? Why do I feel like they're talking about me?"
Looking at this look, I always feel that there is nothing good to say.
Xie Zhao held Jiang Yuzhu's hand soothingly and spoke calmly, "They say that Madam is the peerless beauty of the Great Qi."
"real?"
Jiang Yuzhu touched her cheek. Although she looked a little older, she was indeed very beautiful.
On the other side, Qi Lin understood and gave a thumbs up in his heart. He thought that his godfather conquered his godmother with his body, but it turned out to be sweet talk!
Even though godfather doesn’t talk much, every word he says is profound!
"This auntie is so old, but she's just playing for the sake of novelty and excitement!"
Another barbarian showed a mischievous look and said.
Xie Zhao continued translating, "They praised the lady's skin as white as snow, saying it was unheard of to see such a woman among the barbarians."
Next, the barbarian mocked Xie Zhao and Qi Lin for being as small as chickens, and Qi Lin cursed back in fluent barbarian language.
Then, he turned to Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Godmother, the barbarians insist on recognizing you as their aunt, but I don't want to be associated with these scum!"
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
