A knife in love

Chapter 1214

Qin Lao Wu was almost killed by the sword of that man in white who was neither a human nor a ghost. Even though he was always tough, he was also a little timid at this moment.The three boatmen trembled with fright, hid aside in fear and anxiety, just wanted to escape back to the boat, as far away from Motianling as possible.So when Xiao Dong said that he had to go to the mountains to fetch wood, the four felt a little unhappy.

It's just that at this time, apart from the fire folder in Li Qiufeng's hand, there is no light at all.Therefore, even though the faces of Qin Lao Wu and the three boatmen were full of horror, Xiao Dong couldn't see them either.After he finished speaking, no one answered, only said that everyone was willing to go to the top of Motian Ridge with him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a slight "clucking" sound.His heart trembled, the long sword in his right hand lay across his chest, and he pinched a sword formula with his left hand, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.It's just that I only heard the mountain wind hunting, but no enemy made a sneak attack.

Xiao Dong was suspicious, and thought to himself, could there be some strange birds and beasts in this mountain that could make such strange noises?It's just that he listened intently, but the strange sound of "cluck" was intermittent, and it didn't seem too far away from him.Xiao Dong was even more suspicious, and couldn't help but said to Li Qiufeng: "Young Master Zhu, did you hear any strange noise?"

Li Qiufeng stretched out his hand and pulled out the long knife stuck in the ground, and said in his mouth: "Although the man in white was defeated, I think that he was not driven into the deep valley by us, but jumped into the valley to escape. I guess this man is right. The terrain of Motianling is very familiar, but we are unfamiliar with the place, so it is very easy to be plotted by this person. Fortunately, he was injured, and he is only concerned with escaping at this time, so there is no time for a sneak attack. Therefore, we might as well go to Motianling as soon as possible Go, get the wood and rush back to the pier. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we will miss our important event of going to Fusang."

Hearing that Li Qiufeng agreed with his proposition, Xiao Dong was quite satisfied, but after thinking about it, he asked him if he heard a strange sound, but this person answered something wrong, isn't it strange?Suspicions arose in his heart, and he was about to ask, but he heard Li Qiufeng say, "Fifth Brother Qin, that man in white is definitely not a ghost, but a living person. It's just that this man has strange sword skills and is a good martial artist. So It's really puzzling for a martial arts master to pretend to be a ghost on Motianling. But Brother Qin, don't worry, he's been hit by a hidden weapon, and he'll come back to stop us soon."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Even if he still has accomplices, I still have ways to deal with it. Fifth Brother Qin, don't be alarmed."

Xiao Dong felt a little unhappy, thinking to himself that I am your leader, I should be the one to say these comforting words.Although the kid surnamed Zhu is good at martial arts, he doesn't understand high and low, yet he dares to overwhelm the other, it's really abhorrent!

It's just that when he was thinking, he suddenly found that the strange sound of "cluck" had disappeared, and he was startled.At this moment, Qin Lao Wu said: "Mr. Zhu is right. With Mr. Zhu's help, even if there are evil spirits, we have nothing to fear!"

After Qin Lao Wu finished speaking, he put the machete back into its sheath and said, "Let's continue walking."

The three boatmen had just seen Li Qiufeng beating the white-clothed man away, and they thought to themselves that the real Mr. Zhu did not show his face, but fired a few hidden weapons and wounded the white-clothed man.With his help, it is expected that there will be no risk.As a result, the three of them became courageous, and when they heard what Qin Laowu said, they all spoke in agreement.

It was only at this time that Xiao Dong suddenly realized that the strange sound he heard just now was the sound made by Qin Laowu and the three boatmen when their teeth collided up and down in panic.At this time, the four of them stopped being frightened after hearing Li Qiufeng's words, and the sound of teeth clashing disappeared.Xiao Dong became more and more afraid of Li Qiufeng, thinking that Qin Laowu and others were so convinced of Li Qiufeng, if there were any accidents on the way to Fusang, people feared that these people would only follow the instructions of the kid surnamed Zhu.I have to rely on this kid for a lot of things, just be patient for a few days.But after you're done, you must not let this kid live in this world!

The people went to the top of the mountain again.The fire folder in Li Qiufeng's hand had been burning for a long time, and now only half of it was left.Qin Laowu took out the Huozhezi from his bosom and shook it brightly.It's just that he has been walking in the front just now, and although he is courageous now, he is not as fearless as before.He was afraid that another enemy would make a sneak attack, so he followed closely beside Li Qiufeng.

After walking for another stick of incense, everyone suddenly felt that there seemed to be a hazy light in front of them, and they stopped in unison.After everyone looked up, they realized that they had reached the flat place on the top of the mountain.There is no hillside in front of them anymore, and the night sky appears above everyone's heads.It's just that it was a gloomy night, the light was extremely dark, and the sky looked hazy, just a very gloomy gray shadow.

Everyone stopped and looked around.At this time, the mountain wind became more and more violent, and a dozen or so uneven hilltops could be seen in the shadows.Qin Lao Wu held up the fire fold, and said in his mouth: "I heard from those people that the top of the mountain is the place where the red errands in Dongliao County go, and the wood, bricks and tiles purchased by Wang Yuanwai must be piled here."

Holding the long sword in his left hand, Xiao Dong glanced to the left and right sides, trying to see where the wood and bricks were placed.It's just that the surrounding area is too dark to see anything.So he said in a deep voice: "Everyone search separately, if you find the wood, you must immediately warn everyone."

Qin Laowu and Li Qiufeng had no objection, and the three boatmen were a little scared when they heard that this was the execution ground for murder.Therefore, when they searched separately, the three of them stayed close together, for fear that they would encounter ghosts alone, which would be very bad.

After a while, Qin Laowu suddenly heard shouting happily: "Here it is!"

Everyone hurriedly searched for the sound and gathered around, only to see a black shadow with ups and downs on the north side of the top of the mountain.The tall ones are more than two feet high, and the short ones are five or six feet tall.Qin Laowu stood under the shadow, holding the Huozhang high up.After everyone gathered around him, Qin Lao Wu said: "So much wood and bricks will cost at least 8000-[-] taels of silver. This king is so generous, it is really admirable."

With the light of the fire folder in Qin Laowu's hand, Xiao Dong saw that large and small logs were neatly stacked in front of him, and there were thousands of them at a glance.There are more bricks, tiles and stones, all piled up next to the wood.Xiao Dong was both surprised and delighted, and said to Qin Lao Wu: "Brother Qin, do you have any suitable wood?"

Qin Lao Wu chuckled and said, "With so much wood, let alone one mast, it's no problem to make ten or twenty masts!"

Only then did Xiao Dong feel relieved, and said to Qin Lao Wu: "Then what are we waiting for? Please, Brother Qin, find a suitable piece of wood quickly, and then we will rush back to the pier."

Qin Lao Wu agreed, and called the three boatmen over, and the four searched carefully beside the pile of logs. After only half a stick of incense, the four of them found two logs.Qin Laowu laughed and said: "These two pieces of wood are high-quality wood, much better than the mast on our ship. Let's take it to the ship, and then find a carpenter to make it into a mast. There is an extra mast on the ship , if there is any damage, it can be replaced at any time, and there will be no worries."

Qin Laowu said while working together with three boatmen to take out the two logs from the pile of logs.Each of these two pieces of wood is more than two feet long, Qin Laowu scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Master Xiao, these two pieces of wood are not light, and it will take a lot of strength to carry them back to the boat." If I had known this, I would have called the other two brothers..."

Before Qin Lao Wu finished speaking, Xiao Dong hurriedly said: "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, you must carry the wood down immediately. The four of you have worked so hard, as long as you get the wood on the boat, I will give each of you 20 taels of silver!"

Qin Laowu's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that he would earn another 20 taels of silver, not to mention carrying these two logs on board, even two more logs would be no problem.He turned his head and said to the three boatmen: "Have you heard Master Xiao's words? Let's do it now."

The three boatmen were extremely happy when they heard that Xiao Dong wanted to give 20 taels of silver.They have been sailing with Qin Laowu for many years, and it is common to move goods.Although these two pieces of wood are heavy and long, it takes a lot of effort to carry them.But it is not difficult for the three of them.So Qin Laowu gave an order, and the three boatmen used the prepared ropes to wrap the two ends of the wood. Qin Laowu also stepped forward to help. After a while, the two logs were tied together, and the four were divided Two groups, grab the front end and the tail end of the two logs respectively.Qin Laowu said "Get up", and the four of them lifted the wood steadily and carried it on their shoulders without much effort.Seeing this situation, Xiao Dong finally felt relieved, and said: "Let's go down the mountain now."
