Chapter 40: The second half of the night
"Hmm? What's the mess?" Frowning slightly Li Huowang walked into the forest where the fool stayed.
As soon as he walked into the forest, Li HuoWang's pupils suddenly shrunk, only to see the fool followed by the old beggar just now was squatting in front of a small earth bag, puffing and puffing to eat something.
The top of the small earth bag also placed a few yellow paper, with a stone firmly pressed.
Li Huowang suppressed his anger and rushed over and kicked the fool down, "Get up! You dare to eat the things for the grave! Are you tired of living? Didn't I say not to talk to this beggar!"
The fool crawled up aggressively. "I didn't .... Didn't... Didn't talk to him."
"Kneel down! Hurry up and kowtow to apologize!" Li Huowang ordered sternly.
After seeing the fool kowtow heavily to the grave bag a few times, Li Huowang reached out and pulled him up stiffly.
There was everything in this hellhole, he didn't dare to bet on it, if he didn't handle it well he'd be in trouble right away.
"Clang" sound, Li Huowang pulled out the long sword behind him, pointing directly at the old beggar's nose. Cold eyes said: "I don't care what purpose you have, stay away from my people! Otherwise don't blame me for not being polite!"
After saying that without waiting for that person to reply, Li Huowang pulled the fool and turned around to leave.
"I'm not a beggar, I'm a monk." The man muttered in a low voice and continued to squat there eating the dead man's tribute.
Getting back on the road, the group continued on their way, Li Huowang's expression a little grave as he began to instruct the others. "Don't sleep so much the last few nights, something might be about to happen."
Although the fool had already kowtowed and admitted his mistake, but God knows what the temperament of the thing in that grave is like, he didn't dare to bet on it.
Hearing Li Huowang say this, the others immediately understood what was going on and nodded gently.
As the sun set and night fell, the people on the road went into the roadside forest to gather wood for the fire.
Around the two donkey carts, Li Huowang built a bonfire and had the others go into the forest to cut enough firewood.
There was no moon today, and the surrounding area was dark, the branches of the trees swayed with the breeze, as if there were countless things hidden inside, peering at the people around the fire.
As time passed, the surrounding gradually quieted down, everyone else fell asleep.
But Li Huowang did not sleep, quiet as if waiting for something.
In addition to the forest around him, his heart had to be divided most of the way to that old beggar.
If that thing came to the door, it must be on him first.
It would be better if it came, and it also just so happened that he could also take this opportunity to come and see what was going on with this guy.
Under the long wait, the first half of the night just passed came to the second half of the night, came to the most sleepy that time.
"Li... Senior brother ah, that place... Just now is not a face ah? Said the dog-warrior who was on watch together with a hint of trembling in his voice.
Li Huowang quickly looked over, yet he saw nothing in the darkness.
"Are you sure?" He inquired in a very low voice.
Dogua swallowed hard. "Not sure, maybe ..... Maybe I'm just blinking."
"Don't talk, be quiet." Li Huowang pretended to stare at the bonfire in front of him, skimming over with his afterglow.
After waiting quietly for a while, under the faint illumination of the firelight, he saw an ugly face slowly reveal itself from the darkness, with a cruel smile on its face.
But what made Li Huowang's scalp feel numb was that more heads slowly emerged from behind this head. A streak of white light appeared and disappeared underneath the head.
"Wait, white light?" Li Huowang stood up violently, grabbed a piece of firewood lit in the campfire and threw it over. "Stand still! What are you people!"
Li Huowang's shout was like a thunderbolt in the quiet environment, waking up everyone else in their sleep.
When the tumbling firewood was thrown under those heads, and after seeing that those heads had feet and shadows, Li Huowang immediately understood that these people were alive.
Not only did Li Huowang see them, but the others did as well, and also saw the machetes in their hands. "The ringing horses are coming! Run!!!"
This terrified cry caused the crowd to instantly explode. All of them picked up their fine things on their backs and scattered as birds and beasts.
"Damn it! Discovered! Quickly bring the horses over!!!" Soon the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and these robbers chased after the roadwalkers with their swords.
"Quickly run towards the forest! Their horses can't run in the forest!!!"
Hearing the old beggar shouting like this, the others rushed away from the main road and rushed into the surrounding woods.
They were running, but those with donkey carts like Li Huowang couldn't run, it was impossible for a donkey to outrun a horse.
Hearing the sound of hoofbeats from behind, Li Huowang quickly stood still and turned back, and found a high horse carrying a bearded robber to cut toward an old woman.
"Can't hide!" Li Huo Wang quickly pulled out a pill and stuffed it directly into his mouth, a heat instantly surged throughout his body.
Just at the time when Li HuoWang's feet were on the ground, he rushed towards that bandit.
That old beggar suddenly rushed out from the side and pushed away the fallen old woman.
Gao Deqiu on the horse looked at the old beggar in front of him, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, he didn't even raise his sword, he pulled the reins in his hand, and the hoofs of the horse underneath him were raised high, and stepped straight towards that person.
His face showed a cruel smile, looking forward to the next bloody scene, he usually as a loud horse, in addition to playing with women is also this hobby.
However, at the very next moment, he saw a silhouette rushing out from the front, a fist smashing heavily on the horse's head.
"Touch!" Accompanied by the horse's neighing, the horse that was charging forward was hardened and changed its direction, falling towards the right side.
Gao De Qiu, who was falling towards the ground, could do nothing but look at the deflated horse's head with his eyes growing wider and wider.
The next moment, with a muffled sound, his head and his horse ended up in the same place.
Seeing that their fellow bandits were being attacked, the other bandits put their fingers in their mouths and blew whistles to come over to help.
However, Li Huowang, who had eaten the elixir made by Danyangzi, immediately made them realize that they had messed with someone they dared not mess with.
Muffled sounds kept resounding on the dimly lit dirt road, and after folding several people, these bandits hurriedly panicked and left.
"Retreat quickly! The point is hard! It might be someone from the Supervisory Heavenly Division!"
Li Huowang, whose fist was covered in blood, stood there, panting heavily.
He turned around and looked at the old beggar behind him, after that just now, he himself could conclude that this guy was not a tiger, he was a pig.
Under Li Huowang's gaze, that old beggar stood up and walked to a man who was hacked to death by bandits kneeling in front of him with his hands folded and whispering something.
As Li Huo Wang leaned over, he heard what the man was chanting.
"Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha ......"
A not-so-standard pronunciation of Amitabha Buddha was recited over and over again.
After reciting it a few dozen times, the old beggar walked to the side of the forest and began to dig the ground with his hands.
