[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

The place where they camped was the belly of a cliff.The mountain wall is slightly concave, and there is a little shelter from the rain on the top, and there is a small piece of open flat land next to it.

The direction facing the mountain wall is the road they came from, and there is a large forest that is divided into two halves by the mountain road.

The people of the caravan formed a semicircle around the carts loaded with goods, and the carriage belonging to Bao Cong was parked in the corner next to them, just covering a gap.

Because the line of sight is blocked and the sky is dark, Bao Cong can't really see outside.But out of instinct, he still put away the things in his hands.

Qingwen was sitting next to him, seeing his serious expression, she asked softly, "Master, what's the matter?"

Wu Hui, Chen Ping, and Qingshuang who were nearby also looked at Bao Cong.

"It's okay, I'll go over and have a look." Saying that, Bao Cong stood up, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards the night watchman.

Wu Hui and Chen Ping looked at each other, and said, "Look at something." They also hurriedly stood up and followed.

The caravan guarded the night with two people. They were both sitting by the campfire, whispering something, laughing from time to time, and drinking a sip of wine.

Bao Cong went over, smiled at them, and smelled: "Do you two feel that something is wrong?"

The two watchmen glanced at each other, then looked around, smiled and said to Bao Cong: "There is nothing wrong, young master, you should go to bed early, and you have to get up early tomorrow to hurry!"

They said this on their lips, but they were contemptuous in their hearts: After all, it is your son, as timid as a mouse, but he just slept in the open air in the mountains and forests for one night, so frightened.

After Bao Cong heard this, he was worried, instead he turned and walked towards the outside of the delivery truck.

Wu Hui followed closely, and asked in a low voice, "Third Master, do you think there's something wrong?"

Bao Cong said: "I just think it's a bit too quiet, there are no insects or birds."

Wu Hui listened carefully for a while, but she didn't hear any cry, so she said, "It's a bit strange, it's so quiet."

However, he couldn't tell what was so strange. He looked back at the night watchman of the caravan, saw that they were still chatting and drinking by the campfire, and even smiled at him. After many years in the rivers and lakes, I haven't seen any nervous look.

So, Wu Hui persuaded Baocong: "They didn't say anything wrong, so they should be fine, right? Let's go to bed earlier, I think sister Qingwen is so tired that she dozed off."

Although Qingwen was traveling in a carriage, she had been on the road for several days and had to serve Baocong. She got up early and went to bed late, so she was really tired.

Although Bao Cong has doubts in his heart, he has no experience of sleeping in the wild, so he can only comfort himself that he is supercilious.

He nodded, and was about to go back to rest beside the carriage, when he suddenly heard someone screaming from the other side of the mountain wall!

"There are snakes! There are snakes!"

"Quick! Get up! There's a snake!"

One person screamed, and soon woke up the others, and everyone looked at the mountain wall in the darkness.

I saw a thick black shadow, fast winding along the mountain wall, rushing towards their resting place.And behind the snake, a nimble figure was running and jumping, holding a sword, chasing and stabbing at the snake's tail!

Seeing the snake rushing towards her, Qingwen screamed in fright, stood up and nearly fell down!

Qingshuang quickly supported her from behind, strangled her waist, half hugged her, and retreated to the carriage to hide.

Chen Ping had already pulled out the sword that he wore close to his body, and ran nervously to Bao Cong to protect it.

"Third Master, what should we do?" Chen Ping asked nervously.

"Oh, what a big snake!" Wu Hui exclaimed, grabbed Bao Cong tightly, and dragged him back: "Third Master, let's run quickly!"

Looking at the size and length of the big snake, it would be difficult for even twenty people in the caravan to deal with it together. They can't wait here to be eaten by the snake!

Bao Cong remained calm, grabbed Wu Hui, stood not far from the campsite, and said, "Don't worry, look at the man fighting the snake, he seems to be very good at martial arts, the snake may not be able to hurt us. "

The snake chaser was fighting with the snake with a sword, and several bodyguards of the caravan were around to help surround the big snake.The big snake struggled between the camps, a little less flexible because of the surrounding cart cargo.

The bonfire in the camp had long been scattered by the snakes, and the flaming branches were scattered everywhere, falling on the cargo, and the oilcloth covering the cargo was burned.

The owner of the caravan hurriedly asked his servants to take off the burning tarpaulins, throw them on the ground, and stamped out the fire with his feet.

Fortunately, there was not much fire, and the servants quickly extinguished the fire. They all held big knives and gathered around their master. A group of people hid and hid, walking around the big snake.

Qingwen hid behind the carriage, and because she was worried about Baocong, she poked her head out from time to time to check the situation.While watching the direction of the big snake nervously, Qingshuang saw Qingwen poking her head out, so she stretched out her hand and pushed her back to the back of the carriage.

Qingwen felt a little dissatisfied, but at this time the situation was urgent, so she didn't bother to say anything, she just pursed her lips tightly, trying to check Baocong's situation from the gap in the carriage.

Bao Cong was being protected by Wu Hui and Chen Ping, hiding behind a cart.He wanted to go up and have a look, but considering his strength, he felt that it was better to stay honest.

The big snake seemed to have been injured long ago. Under the siege of the strange swordsman and several bodyguards, it was stabbed in several places, and its strength has gradually weakened.

Seeing this scene, several bodyguards were overjoyed in their hearts, just as they missed something, they saw the big snake suddenly leaped vigorously, rushed out of the encirclement of several people, and rushed towards Baocong's carriage!

"Qingwen be careful!" Bao Cong shouted anxiously.

Although Qingwen and Qingshuang were blocked by a carriage, the big snake was four to five meters long, how could they resist it!

Everyone exclaimed and looked around, only to see the big snake slammed into the carriage with a bang, and the carriage was hit so hard that the whole carriage turned backwards!

The horse pulling the cart was pulled by the reins, screamed and struggled, dragging the cart half a meter abruptly.

"Qingwen! Qingshuang!" Bao Cong didn't care about the danger, and rushed over to check the situation.

"Dangerous, third master!" Wu Hui and Chen Ping yelled, protecting Bao Cong, and rushed over.

The big snake was knocked to the ground, struggled, and was about to get up again, when the swordsman rushed up and kicked it fiercely, then raised his sword and stabbed the big snake seven inches hard, nailing it firmly to the ground.

The big snake struggled a few times, and finally died completely.Several bodyguards gathered around to inspect, exclaiming again and again, there is such a big snake in this place, it has never been seen before, it is really a strange thing for decades.

Seeing that the big snake was dead, the owner of the caravan asked his servants to check on Baocong and the others.After all, Bao Cong gave some money, if his people were injured, it means that the caravan did not fulfill its duty of protection, and it would be ugly.

Baocong was supporting Qingwen to check, Qingwen panicked, sat up and patted the dust on her body, wiped the cold sweat off her face, only felt a slight soreness in her ankles.

"Third Master, I'm fine, I'm not injured." Qingwen rubbed her ankle, feeling a little numb, probably because she was nervous just now and stood stiffly.

"It's fine!" Bao Cong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to see the pretty little girl really get hurt.

Wu Hui and Chen Ping were supporting Qingshuang to observe, Qingshuang gritted her teeth and supported her right arm, her face turned pale from the pain.

Wu Hui inspected it for a while, then said to Bao Cong: "Third Master, Qingshuang's arm was injured!"

It turned out that just now when Qingshuang saw the carriage being hit by him, she quickly put her arms around Qingwen and dodged it, but the action was too impatient, and the two of them fell directly to the ground.He was protecting Qingwen, Qingwen's whole body was on his arm, and his arm hit the ground and hurt.

Bao Cong frowned and asked, "You may be able to see how he is hurt?"

After a hundred days of injury, if Qingshuang had a broken bone or something, he would have to take care of it for a long time.Besides, in the middle of the night, there was no doctor to see the injury, and Qingshuang's arm could not be healed in time, what should I do if it is serious!

Baocong was very anxious, and Qingwen was also very worried. Unexpectedly, in order to protect herself, Qingshuang hurt her arm.

Although the night was dark, with only a few scattered torches on the ground to illuminate it, Qingwen could vaguely see blood on Qingshuang's arms and sleeves!

"What, what can I do!" Qingwen was so anxious that she wanted to cry!

A few people were worried and anxious, the strange swordsman came over and said: "Is someone injured? I know some medical skills, let me have a look."

After hearing this, Baocong and the others hurried out of the way and let the man inspect Qingshuang's injury.

The man grabbed Qingshuang's right arm, pressed his acupuncture points with his fingers, and the wound gradually stopped bleeding.

"Is there a clean cloth?" the man asked.

"Yes." Qingwen quickly found a piece of clean cotton cloth from the overturned carriage, and tore it into strips according to the man's instructions.

"His arm is slightly broken, but it shouldn't be serious. I want to help him fix it. When you arrive in the town tomorrow, you can find a doctor to show him." The man washed Shuang's wound with water and wrapped it with a cloth strip , Then, he found another straight branch, and fixed Qingshuang's arm with cloth strips.

After hearing this, Bao Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him again and again, and said, "It's really luck, if you weren't here, I would have suffered a great crime!"

The man heard this, and was about to say something with a smile. When he saw Baocong clearly through the newly lit bonfire, he exclaimed, "Baoyu? Why are you here?"

Baoyu?

Bao Cong instantly understood that the person in front of him had made a mistake.So he smiled and explained: "This elder brother recognizes Baoyu? I'm not Baoyu, I'm his younger brother Baocong."

"Ah! Bao Cong!" The man was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, patted Bao Cong on the shoulder affectionately and said, "You brothers and I are destined to meet you in this kind of place!"

Bao Cong also smiled, and asked curiously: "What is the honorable name of the eldest brother?"

The man said: "We haven't seen each other. It's strange that you don't know me. But you can know me today. My name is Liu Xianglian. Have you heard of it from Baoyu?"

Liu Xianglian!

That's right, knowing Baoyu, and being able to appear in the mountains and forests far away from the capital, there is only Liu Xianglian who comes and goes without a trace...
