An Moxue thought about leaving after the New Year. The weather was getting colder day by day, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier. If she didn't go into the mountains soon, it would be even more difficult. If the snow was too heavy, it would also be difficult to check.
After catching that tomb raiding gang, I've always wanted to go deep into the mountains to take a good look, but I've been delayed by one thing or another, and I still haven't been able to go.
An Moxue calculated the time, but was worried about unforeseen complications, so she went to Village Chief Guo and told him about her desire to go deep into the mountains to cultivate. Village Chief Guo did not agree immediately, saying that it was too dangerous in the dead of winter and that he needed to discuss it with Old Ma.
Village Chief Guo didn't agree immediately, but An Moxue wasn't annoyed. She simply told him to come back tomorrow for news.
Actually, there's not much work to do in the dead of winter. An Moxue could sneak into the mountains without telling anyone, and not everyone would necessarily know. But she was afraid that Village Chief Guo and Old Ma would worry and make things difficult for them, so she decided to tell them first.
That evening, An Moxue prepared medicine in her space as usual. She wanted to prepare more medicine during this period, just in case, as well as some food that could be stored for a while, for future use.
Suddenly, she heard the cries of two little ones, grabbed a flashlight, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the two little ones rushed straight to the gate, with An Moxue following closely behind.
Shining the flashlight directly at the gate, one could see a person on the tripping post at the gate, and another person trying to pull the person who had tripped over the tripping post away from it.
The two little ones rushed over and started biting at the two men, but they were all punched away by the two men.
The two men were not flustered at all when they saw An Moxue come out. By the time An Moxue got to them, the person who had been tripped had already stood up. It was obvious that one of his legs was injured and his cotton pants were soaked with blood.
Seeing this, An Moxue felt much relieved and said to the two little ones, "Babies, I'm leaving the injured one to you two."
After saying that, she began to attack the other person, her punches fierce and powerful. The man opposite her was also a master of ancient martial arts. The two exchanged blows, with An Moxue only gaining a slight advantage. She knew that if she only fought with her fists, it would take some time to defeat her opponent.
On such a cold day, An Moxue didn't want to stay outside for long. Taking advantage of the other person's inattention, she threw a handful of medicine powder, and then turned around and threw a handful at the other person as well.
As darkness fell, the other party only mistook it for snow foam raised during the fight. An Moxue was very satisfied with this improvement in the drug; it was colorless and odorless, making it less likely to attract the other party's attention.
An Moxue counted the time, estimating that the medicine was about to take effect.
After a few more rounds, the man angrily questioned, "Did you just use something on me?"
At this point, both sides had stopped moving. The two men looked weak and powerless, while the two little ones glared at them menacingly, occasionally letting out a few "woof woof" sounds as a warning.
An Moxue thought to herself, "Why should I tell you? Am I sick? I'll answer your question."
The other person was also furious, shouting, "This is despicable behavior! Your victory is not honorable!"
An Moxue thought to herself, "Where did this hypocrite come from? You're allowed to sneak into my house, but I'm not allowed to use my medication."
But this time, the improved version of the bone-corroding and tendon-severing powder seems to have a decent effect. Thank you to our ancestors for leaving us this precious prescription.
I was careless before, thinking that I wouldn't need these things in peacetime, and only chose to study what interested me. I only started to study these things after I came into this world and discovered that they were dangerous.
"You woman, your despicable behavior is not that of a martial artist. You are shameless!"
"You shameless scoundrel, if you're so capable, prove it with your real skills!"
The two people were shouting wildly, but An Moxue remained silent, letting the drug take effect. With two loud bangs, the two people collapsed to the ground, unable to even stand.
An Moxue glanced at her watch, noted the time, and wondered if she could make further improvements in the future.
Walking up to the two people, An Moxue quickly put a pill into one person's mouth, then closed his mouth, patted his back, and only let go when she saw him swallow the pill involuntarily. She then did the same to the other person. After feeding him the pill, she glanced at her watch.
Then he grabbed a handful of snow from the nearby garden and rubbed it repeatedly three times before stopping.
The two men were furious and about to curse when An Moxue spoke up: "Tell me, who are you? Where did you come from? Who sent you? What are you doing here?" Her voice was soft and gentle, unlike An Moxue's usual tone.
The two of them didn't curse or say a word, but glared at An Moxue with some resentment.
An Moxue glanced down at the time again, and after a while, she spoke again: "Tell me, who are you?" Her voice was still light and gentle, but with a hint of seduction.
“I am Tang Shan, and he is Tang Hai,” said the man with the injured leg. The other man didn’t speak, but his expression was also somewhat blank, and there was struggle in his eyes.
"Where did it come from?"
"Nakagawa."
"Who sent you?"
"Master of the family."
"What are you doing here?"
"Capture An Moxue and find the item."
What are you looking for?
"I don't know. The head of the family only said to take it back if it looks special."
"What is the head of the family called?"
"Ah!!!" The man screamed a few times before fainting.
The other man, brought back to his senses by his mad shouting, roared, "What kind of medicine did you give us?"
An Moxue was too lazy to pay attention to him. Seeing that he was already awake, there was no need to ask any more questions. The effect of this True Word Pill was not very satisfactory and needed to be improved!
She took out silver needles and pricked the two men with them. The man could only open his mouth but couldn't speak. He looked at An Moxue in horror.
An Moxue closed the courtyard gate, set up the tripping stake, dragged him and threw him into the cellar, then threw the other one in as well, closed the cellar lid, went inside, washed her hands, and went to sleep.
The next morning, after An Moxue finished her martial arts practice and tidied up, she went down to the cellar. Looking at the two men's contorted faces, she took their hands, checked their pulses, and then took out silver needles and pricked each of them a few times. She said, "Now you can talk. How is it? Is there anything you want to say? Think it over before you speak!"
Hearing her gentle words, the two men felt their scalps tingle. How could someone so young have so many tricks up her sleeve!
At this time, they had no idea that they would be crippled from now on, with their tendons and veins severed, unable to take care of themselves, and their bones extremely fragile, breaking with the slightest touch, and suffering from constant, bone-deep pain every day.
Seeing that the two were not speaking, An Moxue did not force them, and said, "It's okay, you don't have to say anything. Think about it carefully!"
Before the two could react, she gave them a few more injections and then quickly left the cellar.
After watching An Moxue leave, the two wanted to talk, but found themselves speechless again, looking at each other with surprise and uncertainty.
In the dim light, they couldn't even see each other's faces clearly, and they couldn't move. Any movement would only intensify the pain, and the two of them couldn't communicate at all.
The panic among them is intensifying.
