The only qi trainer

After walking for a few days, the sky was gloomy, the wind swept across the sky and the earth, pushing the black clouds forward, and soon it was dark and dense, as if it was about to fall, and the sky flashed and thundered from time to time...

"It's going to rain heavily! It seems that we need to find a place to take shelter."

Li Yuanying looked up at the sky, and the violent electric snake twisted and twisted, piercing the sky and illuminating all directions.

"Drive! Drive!"

Hurriedly driving the skinny old horse forward, after another two miles, Li Yuanying suddenly found an abandoned family courtyard.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, more than half of the houses had collapsed, and the roof of the remaining house had holes, so it probably wouldn't last long.

Li Yuanying didn't care about so much, it would be nice to live in some!

Quickly tied the horse to the wooden pile next to the half-collapsed thatched hut at the corner outside the courtyard, Li Yuanying built a wooden frame on the roof of the house, and put the coffin on the frame. According to folk customs, the coffin is forbidden to fall to the ground before it is buried again. of.

After preparing everything, another quarter of an hour later, after a red lightning flash, the rain finally came.

The heavy rain poured down, and the bean-sized water droplets fell on the ground, crackling on the leaves, and the old horse shrank his body into the half-collapsed thatched hut, and soon the rainwater gathered into a river.

The house where Li Yuanying lived was also flooded, and the big hole in the center of the house kept pouring rainwater, and some of it quickly flowed out along the ditches scoured on the ground of the house.

"Quick! There is a yard in front of you, hurry up and shelter from the rain!"

"Move things in first, hurry up!, hurry up!"

……

Urgent shouts and heavy footsteps woke up Li Yuanying!

someone is coming!

In the rain, eight or nine people were wearing bamboo hats, one by one carrying baskets covered with black canvas, and entered the yard in an orderly manner under the command of an old man.

They moved the baskets they picked into the house to shelter from the rain, because the dark clouds were thick, the rain was heavy, and the sky was gloomy and dim. If you didn't pay attention to observation, you couldn't find Li Yuanying who was resting in the corner.

"These baskets look heavy!"

Li Yuanying stared at the big man who kept entering the house, feeling a little curious.

These baskets are not too big. If it is grain, it will not be so heavy at all, and it can bend the shoulder pole abnormally, unless the things you pick are very dense.

Li Yuanying immediately thought of gold and silver, these are valuable items.

Soon, these people used local materials in the ruins of the collapsed houses, dismembered the wood that made up the roof, and lit a bonfire inside the house.

These people gathered around the bonfire to keep warm, and they were silent the whole time. They didn't notice Li Yuanying who was in the corner at all. In addition, there was a coffin blocking their view, which made it even more difficult to find.

"Let's rest, everyone. I'll watch the night. The rain will stop tomorrow. Let's go immediately!"

Among the crowd, a rather muscular old man with gray beard and hair suddenly said while looking at the rain outside the door.

Hearing the old man's words, the eight big men were not humble, and one by one they dragged their heavy steps to rest by the rainless wall.

The wind blew through the leaky house, making a whining sound, and a flash of lightning flashed across, winning a brief light.

A big man with his back against the wall took advantage of the short-lived light to glance at the baskets he was carrying, and suddenly saw a figure in the corner of the wall. This figure was extremely scary under the light of lightning!

Li Yuanying's position was very concealed, covered by the coffin, so he couldn't find it while standing, and he had to squat down to see it from the gap in the bracket.

The big man suddenly saw a figure leaning against the corner of the wall, plus this barren courtyard, and what he was doing!Subconsciously, he thought it was a ghost, his hairs stood on end, his body stiffened, almost limp on the ground.

Then he realized that the figure in front of him was a person!Not a ghost!

The big man felt that he was being humiliated, so he jumped up and pointed at Li Yuanying angrily, saying:

"Who are you, pretending to be a ghost here!"

Hearing that there was something abnormal, everyone who had just sat down was startled and jumped up one after another with solemn expressions. By the light of the fire, they could barely see a vague figure in the corner of the wall that the man was pointing at.

"It doesn't make sense for you to wait. I came here first, but you waited later, and now it's my fault!"

Hearing what this man said, Li Yuanying rolled his eyes and said sarcastically.

I became more and more sure that these people had ghosts in their hearts!The things picked in those baskets are unusual and definitely worth a lot!Otherwise, you won't get nervous and make a fuss about a little thing!

"What are you talking about!...I..."

The big man could hear Li Yuanying's sarcasm, and he was about to step forward with his fists clenched.

Seeing that the big man was about to step forward, the old man on one side kept thinking in his heart, and heaven and man were at war.

someone!Will a person be exposed, will he be a spy, will he be killed or not?

The goods transported this time are too precious, if someone finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!

In just an instant, the old man came up with the answer in his mind.

do not kill!

Killing people is not the best method. Originally, neither the whereabouts nor the belongings were exposed. Once the murder is done, if there are outsiders, it will be difficult to explain, and it will only increase the twists and turns!

"stop!"

The old man on the side yelled angrily, and the big man stopped immediately after hearing it, with an angry expression on his face, but he had to stop because of the old man's order.

Seeing the big man stop, the old man apologized, bowed his hands and apologized:

"This is my nephew, he is reckless, I will apologize to you on his behalf!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled the big man's clothes and settled down to the other side to rest.

Because of Li Yuanying's presence, these big men were very close to each other, and some of them had good sightlines, so they could spot Li Yuanying's anomalies immediately.

Li Yuanying could also tell that there were four people in sight, and no matter what happened to these people, one of them always opened his eyes.

"Zuzu, it's interesting! Even passers-by who meet by chance have to be so on guard, it seems that they are really careful!"

Li Yuanying shook his head. Although he was very curious, he didn't want to cause trouble. Once it was punctured, he might be killed.

Even though these people are as fragile as paper people in Li Yuanying's eyes, if there is no need to kill such things, it is better to seldom do such things. Li Yuanying thinks that he is not a murderous maniac.

Out of Li Yuanying's sight, a big man gently touched the leading old man with his leg, put his palm on his leg, made a beheading motion, and at the same time asked the old man if he wanted to do it.

Seeing the signal from the big man beside him, the old man naturally understood the big man's consciousness, so he shook his head indistinctly. After the big man received the signal, he stopped moving, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and rested.

The torrential rain gradually subsided, pattering down in the air, and after a while, a figure came from a distance.

The sound of hurried footsteps seemed out of place in the pure rain.

someone is coming!

The old man kept his promise of vigil, and quickly touched his companions to remind him. Soon, all nine people in his party woke up and looked out the door with squinted eyes.

"There's a fire in the house!"

The visitor wiped the water from his face, with a happy expression on his face, and hurriedly stepped into the door.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a big hole in the roof on the left side of the house, the rain was swaying, a fire was piled up in the right back of the room, a group of people leaned against the wall, and nearly twenty baskets were densely piled together.

"It's you!"

Seeing a familiar group of people, this person shouted excitedly, stepped forward quickly, bowed and saluted:

"Everyone, we meet again!"

"It's you! Scholar, go get some clothes and warm yourself by the fire to keep out the cold, don't catch a cold and catch the wind and chill!"

The old man got up to help take off the scholar's bookcase and clothes, wrung them dry, and hung them beside the fire to dry.

The young scholar thanked him again and again with a grateful expression on his face. He did not expect that the other party would be so enthusiastic after just meeting him once.

Li Yuanying looked at the yellow-faced scholar with a circle of fluff on his mouth. He knew that he must not be too old, and there were fringes on his clothes. He knew that this should be a poor scholar. What's more, there are so many attendants on the trip, how could it be possible to drive alone on a rainy night.

"How did these two groups know each other?"

Li Yuanying was puzzled, the difference in the attitudes of these burdensome men towards him and the scholar was too obvious!

Shaking his head, Li Yuanying didn't want to think too much, but they were just passers-by, and they would each go to one side tomorrow, maybe they would never meet again in this lifetime.

There was nothing to say all night, everyone fell into a deep sleep, only the old man squinted his eyes and kept scanning, looking out of the courtyard with a solemn expression.
