I thought it would be easy to find for a while, but I didn't expect to go down the mountain along the road, and saw a village of about a dozen families not far away.

Perhaps it was late at night, with the moon shining through the windows, the village was dark and silent, and the villagers must have rested.

Fu Shiyu didn't want to disturb others, and planned to come back tomorrow, when he suddenly saw a house in front of him with lights still on.

"Is anyone there?" Fu Shiyu stepped forward and called out.

The closed wooden door creaked open.

"who?"

A big man dressed in gray and brown came out from the door, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, he looked like a simple and kind-hearted hunter.

After he looked Fu Shiyu up and down, his eyes were a little wary, "Who are you?"

After Fu Shiyu saluted, he said gently: "Xiaosheng went to Beijing to join his clan. He passed by this place. When he saw someone here, he wanted to stay overnight."

The Orion frowned and hesitated.

Fu Shiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaosheng won't live in vain."

"No no no."

Orion hurriedly waved his hands when he heard this, and said loudly, "You don't need money."

"If you don't mind the little brother, just stay here."

After saying that, he stood aside and opened the door to let Fu Shiyu into the room.

"Thank you bro."

After Fu Shiyu thanked him, he lifted his foot and stepped across the threshold.

The square earthen house is made of loess, with wooden cantilevered beams and green tiles on the roof. There are not many decorations in the house. There is a low wooden table in the middle, and farm tools for hunting in the fields are piled up in the corner.

After Fu Shiyu entered the house, Orion closed the door, turned around and greeted warmly: "Little brother, please sit down."

As if hearing the movement outside, a woman in a blue cross-neck and narrow-sleeved shirt walked out of the back room. When she saw Fu Shiyu standing by the table, she froze for a moment, and then panic flashed quickly in her eyes.

Orion glared at her, and roared fiercely: "Go and pour some hot tea!"

"... "

The woman's face was slightly pale, just as she was about to go in, Fu Shiyu raised her hand and called out, "Don't bother."

"Xiaosheng already feels guilty for disturbing late at night."

Orion ignored it and still shouted at the woman: "Go!"

"..." The woman remained silent, and not long after, she brought out a pot of brewed coarse tea and put it on the table.

"You go to rest first, I'll have a word with this little brother." Orion glanced at the woman, and began to urge again in a deep voice.

"En." The woman responded like a mosquito, turned around and went back to the back room.

Orion poured a cup of hot tea for Fu Shiyu, and said with a simple and honest smile, "I only have crude tea and fresh water here, so I can't bring you anything good to entertain you, brother."

Seeing Orion staring at him intently, Fu Shiyu's eyes gradually darkened, and after saying something, he took a sip of tea.

Only then did Orion look away again, and asked curiously, "What's your name, little brother? Where is he from?"

"Miangui's surname is Fu, from Nanyang."

"Nanyang?" Orion's eyes were startled, "I'm afraid it will take some time to get here."

"To tell you the truth, brother, I've been on my way for a month." Fu Shiyu said with a faint smile, "I thought I could go directly to the capital today, but something delayed me on the way."

Orion nodded, "I heard that there are horse thieves nearby, and the little brother doesn't seem to be a person who knows martial arts, so it's better to be careful."

"Brother is right." Fu Shiyu's eyes seemed to be filled with subtle light and shadow, and he looked at Orion with a slight smile, "Xiaosheng, a scholar, was indeed afraid of the horse thief, so he wanted to find a place to stay."

Orion laughed heartily when he heard that, patted him on the shoulder kindly, and said in relief: "Don't worry, I don't have horse thieves here, even if there are, your elder brother can drive them out."

"Thank you bro."

Fu Shiyu smiled leisurely, although his face was warm, but there was a sense of alienation in his eyes that was neither far nor near.

The two chatted back and forth, seeing that it was getting late, Orion stood up from the bench, "Little brother has to go on the road tomorrow, let's rest early."

After finishing speaking, thinking of something, he said with apology in his eyes: "My place is small, and there is another room that was used by my old father before he passed away. If the little brother dislikes it, there is also a woodshed. I will clean it up for you. "

"Don't bother, big brother." Fu Shiyu said with a smile, "I'm very grateful that Xiaosheng has a place to live."

Orion laughed twice.

"You don't need to see outside, little brother, then I will lead you there now."

Orion took Fu Shiyu to the corner room, then went in and lit the coal lamp on the table.

"Then I won't disturb the little brother's rest. I'll sleep next door. Call me again if you need something."

Fu Shiyu nodded. After seeing Orion go out, he looked up and down the room, and his gaze slowly settled on the open window not far away.

After a while, he unpacked his bag and sat on the bed covered with thick mattresses. He was about to take off his coat to rest when he suddenly felt something sticky under the pillow. It looked like it was stained with sugar.

Fu Shiyu lowered his eyelashes, pondered for a moment, then slowly removed his shoes and socks, and got into the somewhat cold bedding.

After a day's journey, my whole body was tired and sore, and after a while, I fell asleep.

"Han Lang, stop doing stupid things." The woman in the next room sat on the couch sobbing, "Let's find a place to live a good life."

The honest and honest Orion had changed his face at this moment, his brows were gloomy, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"A woman's opinion." He sneered, and said disdainfully, "Where can I live a good life without money."

The woman wanted to say something, but Orion gave her a cold look, her face turned pale with fright, and she immediately fell silent.

Orion leaned closer to the wall, listened carefully to the movement in the next room, and whispered: "Although Nanyang is far away from the capital, its terrain is rich and there are many merchants. A lot of trouble."

The woman's face was pale, and her tone trembled slightly, "The money we have now is enough to go to the countryside to live."

"What do you know!" Orion scolded coldly, "Don't tell me you haven't had enough of your poor life?"

"We took his expenses and started a small business in the capital. We don't have to worry about food or drink. This is what we call life."

After finishing speaking, Orion didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore, turned around and left the house, and ordered: "Stay in the house and don't come out. I will call you after I finish my business."

Seeing the woman sitting on the couch in a panic, her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, Orion's eyes softened, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"I promise you, this is the last time."

"En." The woman nodded absent-mindedly.

Seeing that her face was soothed, Orion paced out of the room. Hearing the silence in the next room, he guessed that the sweat medicine in the cup of tea had worked.

After waiting at the door for a few breaths, he gently pushed open the door of Fu Shiyu's room and walked in without a sound.

There was no light in the room, a hill bulged on the bed, and there was a folded robe beside it.

Orion approached slowly, and saw that Fu Shiyu was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. He was relieved and caught a glimpse of the luggage placed in the innermost part of the bed. , an uncontrollable look of joy appeared on his face, and just as he was about to take it out, a sharp, heart-piercing pain suddenly came from his waist.

"what!!!"

Orion suddenly let out a deafening scream, resounding through the dead of night, the woman next door was alarmed and ran over staggeringly.

When she saw Orion covering his waist and falling to the ground with blood on his hands, she first screamed in shock, and then knelt down on the ground pale and powerless like loose sand.

Fu Shiyu lifted the quilt and sat up, as if he hadn't seen the tragedy on the ground, he put on his robe, shoes and socks slowly, and after finishing everything in a leisurely manner, he bent down and squatted beside the sweating Orion, and wrote lightly: "Don't worry, I won't die."

Xu didn't rest well, his face was bloodless, a few strands of black hair hung down on his plain white neck, and his eyes were dark and cold.

Fu Shiyu with this appearance was like an evil ghost who came up from the underworld to lock his soul. Orion, who had always been courageous and bold, suddenly shuddered with horror.

His pupils were slightly dilated, and he begged for mercy intermittently: "Great... hero, spare me..."

The woman not far away hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging again and again, "Please! Please let my husband go."

Fu Shiyu remained silent. He understood the severity of his strikes and knew which parts were not fatal. Moreover, the wrist bones of his body seemed to have been seriously injured before, so he couldn't use much strength, so the dagger didn't penetrate deep at all, and it didn't hurt the vitals.The Orion was caught off guard by the attack, and seeing the bubbling wound, he was frightened out of his wits and lost his mind.

Since the last time the temple was destroyed, he always carried a light and handy dagger with him in case of emergencies, but he didn't expect to catch up with it now.

"Answer me obediently, and I will save you after answering." Fu Shiyu said lightly, "I am the doctor."

Orion looked stunned. After a while, he hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground and begged: "Doctor, help me, I don't want to die yet."

Seeing that the woman was also kowtowing, Fu Shiyu impatiently raised his hand and frowned slightly, "Where are you hiding this family?"

Orion's face froze, and he said blankly, "What... what?"

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Fu Shiyu was not annoyed, as if he was chatting with someone, "The longer the delay, I can't guarantee that I can save you."

When he knocked on the door, let alone it was the time of Hai, and ordinary people had already rested. The time for this hunter to knock on the door was too short, presumably because he heard the footsteps waiting at the door ahead of time, and when the woman came out, the expression appeared on her face. It was obviously not the embarrassment and shyness that one should have when seeing a stranger, but the fear and panic of being bumped into something.

Later, Orion led him to this room, saying that his deceased father lived in it, but the room was kept very clean, and the stain under the pillow was indeed sugar stains. Master Li found out, so he hurriedly hid the food under the pillow, and finally there was the bead flower on the window that he had forgotten to put away.

Obviously, a young girl should live in this house.

When the Orion heard Fu Shiyu's words, his face instantly became anxious, and the words from his mouth rolled out like spitting out beans.

"I said I said it, I said it all."

"Doctor, come here with your ears."

Fu Shiyu frowned, wondering if this man was up to some kind of trick, just leaning forward slightly, Orion, who had been crying all the time, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes, took advantage of his unpreparedness, pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed him in the back of the head.

!!!

Fu Shiyu's pupils constricted, but it was too late to hide at this time, so he could only turn his body to avoid the vital point.At the critical moment, the sharp cold light of the blade flashed in his pupils, but the expected severe pain did not hit him. He raised his eyes a little, but before he could see the situation clearly, the scalding and smelly liquid suddenly splashed all over his face.

"... "

He held his breath, raised his hand to wipe his face little by little, and then opened his eyes unhurriedly.

Orion's astonished expression was reflected in his eyes. He held his dagger high and froze in the air. A long sword reflecting snow light pierced straight through his neck. The cold and sharp point pointed at Fu Shiyu's brow.

After a while, the Orion fell to the ground, staring angrily, looking like he was dying.

The woman at the door was already frightened, she sat on the ground with blank eyes.

Fu Shiyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked behind the woman.

After midnight, everything was silent, and the silver-white moonlight spilled into the house through the broken window, forming a clear dividing line with the outside.The man hid silently in the darkness, with broad shoulders and a tall and straight figure. Although his facial features were blurred, the cold light in his eyes was still daunting.
