Chapter 33: Really Noisy
He turned his head to look at her, a chill rising in his heart. "Don't scare me. There are no ghosts in the world. My master told me that a long time ago."
As fear accumulates, people's fear will slowly turn into anger, "Who the hell is outside?"
Yuan Jianlu kicked open the door of the dilapidated house and saw that the outside had turned into a forest of fiery maple leaves.
Deep in the forest, the maple leaves are even more vivid and brilliant like clouds.
Yuan Jianlu whispered, "Don't come out yet, watch her inside."
"Okay." The two reached an agreement.
Yuan Jianlu walked forward and saw an old man with his back to him in the forest. He had gray hair and a turban on his head. He looked like a scholar and was wearing a crane cloak.
There was no one on the boat who looked like him. Yuan Jianlu knew he was from the island and said sorry, "I'm sorry to bother you, senior, as I'm just passing by."
He turned around and Yuan Jianlu was surprised. This man was not an old man. He had white hair and a youthful face. His eyes were as clear as a young man's and his skin was not loose. He was only about twenty years old.
There was a yellow cow next to him with a snake-skin whip hanging on its horns.
Yuan Jianlu had just spoken, but he ignored him.
He sensed a strong murderous aura and slowly tightened the sword in his hand.
The man in front of him gently stretched out his hand, and an extremely thin silk thread flew out from his sleeve, entered through the window, wrapped around the hilt of the sword, and pulled back his sword.
Everything was so fast, his silver thread was fast, and his sword was even faster, so fast that it was unbelievable.
Yuan Jianlu rushed to block it, but heard a crisp clang. The opponent's sword tip just touched the spine of his sword, and Yuan Jianlu's sword cracked.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
I could no longer hold the sword in my hand.
Yuan Jianlu has traveled to many places and met countless masters, but he has never heard of this man's name. It can be seen that he has such profound internal strength and a youthful appearance despite his white hair. He must be a master rarely seen in the world for a hundred years.
He remained calm in the face of danger, lowered his body, and then fell to his knees on the ground.
At this time, he raised his head and said, "I am sorry for being so rude. I beg you to spare my life, senior."
He didn't even look at him, sheathed his sword, and walked forward.
Yuan Jianlu said something bad and stood up to block him. "What are you going to do, Senior?"
He knew that even if he lost his life, he would not be able to defeat the man in front of him. The two girls were still in the woodshed. It would be okay for him to escape, but leaving them behind would really leave them with no way out. Besides, Jiaoran was poisoned by the snake because she saved him. No matter how shameless he was, he could not go ungrateful again and again.
"Senior, you can kill me if you want, but there are two people inside. One of them only has mediocre martial arts, and the other is so sick that he is powerless and unconscious due to poisoning. Please spare me."
He turned around slowly and said, "I know."
The white-haired man walked in, and Mei Wan'er immediately stood in front of Jiaoran, "Who are you?"
"No outsiders are allowed to enter this island. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed," he said.
Yuan Jianlu stabbed him from behind with a sword. The man waved his hand and the sword in his hand flew out like lightning, piercing Yuan Jianlu's shoulder, forcing him back several steps and nailing him to the door.
At this moment, Mei Wan'er took advantage of the situation with her left hand to pull out a handful of firewood, danced it like a sword, and slashed at the man with a powerful move.
Unexpectedly, before the wood touched him, a cold light flew out from the man's sleeve.
Silk threads suddenly wrapped around her wrist like rain, and the silver threads twisted her wrist so hard that it bled profusely.
Even Yuan Jianlu plus a hundred Mei Wan'ers seemed no match for him.
He walked towards Jiaoran, who was under the firewood pile, and examined her neck. "When was she poisoned?"
"It's been an hour." Mei Wan'er had a hunch that he didn't come here to kill people.
He felt Jiaoran's pulse on her wrist and said, "My cinnabar tears are extremely poisonous. Although I didn't bite her, her scales touched her flesh. Within a stick of incense, the poison would have penetrated into her bones."
Yuan Jianlu was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to pull it out when the man stopped him. "If you pull out the sword now, you will bleed to death."
When Yuan heard this, he didn't dare to move.
Mei Wan'er asked, "If that's the case, is there any antidote?"
The man said, "There is no antidote. There is no cure."
Mei Wan'er felt a chill in her heart, "Can I just watch her die?"
He stood up, and with a flick of the silk thread, he retracted the sword as fast as lightning. Yuan Jianlu screamed in pain. With a "chi" sound, the sword pierced his shoulder again, still in the same position. Blood splattered, and he pulled it out suddenly again. After this ordeal, Yuan Jianlu didn't even have the strength to stand.
He was about to raise his hand again, but Mei Wan'er had already hurriedly walked in front of Yuan Jianlu and stopped him.
"It's too noisy for him. I just want him to be quiet." He said.
He tossed out a packet of powder from his sleeve pocket and said, "It can stop the bleeding. Give it to him."
Mei Wan'er hurriedly caught it and said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
Yuan Jianlu didn't dare to use it, "Who knows what he's up to?"
Mei Wan'er thought, if he wanted to kill him, he would have done it just now, why did he wait until now? Yuan Jianlu must have lost his judgment because he was in so much pain.
She took a half step forward, sprinkled the powder on Yuan's wound with her backhand, and whispered, "He has great ability and a bad temper, so just bear with it."
Along the way, everything is difficult to endure and everything must be endured.
He took Jiaoran's wrist, looked at the place where her old wound had not yet healed for a while, then changed his hand and cut her other wrist.
"What are you doing!" Mei Wan'er was shocked.
He sighed, "Keep your voices down. It's been a while since anyone has been as noisy as you guys."
She was the first person in so many years who had been poisoned by a snake but hadn't had the poison enter her bloodstream. It was strange. Cinnabar Tears and the other little dragons had been trained by their tribesmen for hundreds of years to be extremely toxic and would kill anyone who came into contact with them, but her body was slowly eliminating the toxin.
He bent down and picked up Jiaoran by the waist. He moved so fast that he almost turned into a shadow and walked out the door.
Yuan Jianlu wanted to chase after him, but he had just been seriously injured and had no strength left.
Mei Wan'er picked up Yuan Jianlu's sword on the ground and flew over to stab it. He moved his feet lightly, and the sword missed by a few inches, not even touching the corner of his clothes.
Mei Wan'er saw Jiaoran was about to be taken away and hurriedly said, "I am her sister. If you want to take my sister away, you must give a reason."
After hearing this, he asked, "Really?"
"Of course I'm not lying to you. This is my brother, and that is my sister. We escaped from the river bandits by jumping into the water. If you take my sister away, how are we going to explain to our parents when my brother and I return home? This sister of mine is the youngest and weakest. Please let us go, sir." Mei Wan'er lied without blinking.
He thought for a moment and said, "I just wanted to see what was different about her from ordinary people. I didn't mean to kill her."
Mei Wan'er said, "My sister is timid. If you want to take her away, take us with you so that we can look after each other. As long as you keep us, Xiaolu and I are willing to serve you until our death."
Yuan Jianlu really didn't want her to take advantage of him. He bit his tongue off and asked her to call him sister, so he reluctantly replied, "Yes, yes, my sister is right."
