Chapter 19 Horror Night
Chapter 19 Horror Night
"Brother Li, let's go inside and talk!"
Li Zhen nodded and followed Xiao Xia into the house. Li Zhen got straight to the point: "Someone will come to take care of you tonight!"
Xiao Xia was startled, "Who?"
"Liu Erhu, or more accurately, Xiao Jiangu. You received a huge reward, and Xiao Jiangu was very jealous. So he arranged for Liu Erhu to come and take care of you at night and steal your Tiger and Leopard Pills."
Xiao Xia frowned. Didn't Liu Erhu go to Qingcheng Mountain to deliver a letter? Why was he still in Jiangdu?
"Brother Li, are you sure it's Liu Erhu? I heard he has gone to Bashu."
Li Zhen shook his head. "He has always been in Jiangdu and has never left. I saw him this morning."
Xiao Xia was silent for a while, then asked, "Why did Brother Li help me?"
Li Zhen said calmly, "Xiao Jiangu relies on me to support him. He is arrogant and domineering in the Warrior Academy. There are many people who don't like him. I can only tell you this much."
Li Zhen walked to the door and turned back to say, "Don't hide. You can't hide on the fifteenth day. Go find Zhang Jue. Only if you catch him on the spot will he not dare to touch you again."
After saying that, Li Zhen walked away.
Xiao Xia ran to the martial arts gym again, and Zhang Jue's door was still locked.
Xiao Xia thought of looking for the head of the family again, but he rejected the idea as soon as it came to his mind.
Li Zhen is right, you can avoid the first day, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth.
Since Liu Erhu is determined to kill him, he might as well take this opportunity to kill Liu Erhu.
Wu San is also a level 2 warrior, so he didn't fall into his own hands, did he?
As long as you think carefully and make proper arrangements, you can still kill the opponent, not to mention that you know a little about swordsmanship.
Xiao Xia steeled his heart and threw one punch to prevent a hundred punches from coming. If he wanted to survive in troubled times, how could he not be ruthless?
Xiao Xia turned around and returned to his dormitory.
As the night deepened, the noisy warrior compound gradually quieted down. A tall black shadow crossed the high wall like a ghost and rushed towards the courtyard where Xiao Xia lived.
At this time, Xiao Xia was hiding under the bed, holding a dagger in his hand, his palms were full of sweat. He had been hiding under the bed for almost an hour, but no figure appeared.
He didn't know what time it was. Maybe Liu Erhu might not come today, and Li Zhen's information might not be reliable!
Xiao Xia secretly groaned in his heart. If he didn't come for a few days, would he have to sleep under the bed for a few days?
Xiao Xia was filled with regret but had no choice. At this moment, he suddenly heard a "crack!" sound coming from the yard. Someone stepped on the small branches he had scattered beforehand.
Xiao Xia's whole body suddenly tensed up, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He heard another subtle "click!" sound, which was the sound of cutting the window bolt. Xiao Xia secretly said that it was not good. How could it come in from the front yard? He had always thought that it would come in from the back window.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow rolled forward and jumped into the room. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the bed. His speed was so fast that the black shadow swung his knife at the head of the sleeping person without hesitation.
Xiao Xia was so excited that his scalp exploded. This was completely different from movie and TV scripts. In the scripts, the villains all died because they talked too much, but in reality, Liu Erhu in front of him didn't say a word and directly killed himself with a knife.
At the same moment when the opponent was slashing at the head of the bed, Xiao Xia also saw a pair of feet in front of him. The opportunity came, he gritted his teeth, swung the sharp dagger and slashed at the ankle.
"puff!"
The man in black slashed the neck of the person on the bed with a knife, but the sound was wrong, it was the sound of chopping melons.
The man in black suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap, but it was too late to run away.
There was a sound of "crackling!" and a piercing pain came from under his feet. "Ah!" The man in black screamed in pain and stepped back, almost falling down. He realized that his left foot was gone.
In extreme fear, the man in black jumped on one leg and rushed to the rear window, but he stepped on a disc and heard a "click!" metal collision sound. The intense pain in his right foot made the man in black lose control of his body, hit his head against the wall, fell heavily to the ground, and fainted immediately, with the knife also falling to the ground.
At the same time, Xiao Xia swung his dagger under the bed and cut a rope. A large net fell from the sky and covered the man in black.
He installed large nets to catch thieves above the front and back windows, spending ten strings of money on them. He tied them under the bed with ropes. As long as he saw the right moment and cut the ropes, the net would fall.
The intense pain made the man in black faint for an instant and then woke up again. He reached out to grab the knife, but unexpectedly, he found a pile of ropes instead.
Xiao Xia was quick and stretched out his hand to grab the handle of the knife on the ground and threw it far away. The long knife rolled away with a clang.
The man in black was Wang Huiming. He failed to kill Xiao Xia and was seriously injured.
Only then did he see Xiao Xia under the bed. Wang Huiming had excellent eyesight and he was stunned to see that the other person was actually a teenager.
Suddenly, Wang Huiming felt a sharp pain in his leg, which made him tremble all over. However, he forced himself to hold it back and did not scream out.
Wang Huiming reached out and touched a trap. He suddenly remembered that this was the wild boar trap he had bought. He had originally intended to put it in the well, but he left in a hurry and forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, he was caught in the trap. He was immediately scared out of his wits. This was a steel trap for wild boars! Wouldn't that mean his right leg would be gone?
That’s right, his right calf bone was also crushed and both legs were completely broken.
He quickly touched his left leg and found it was severed at the ankle, with blood gushing out like a fountain.
Wang Huiming hurriedly wanted to take off his clothes and bandage him. Xiao Xia thought he was going to struggle, so he kicked the broken leg that was blocking his way away. He rolled over and got out from under the bed, only to feel the ground was sticky and wet. He immediately realized that this should be the blood spurting out of the broken leg.
Xiao Xia grabbed the rope without thinking and pulled hard. The net tightened instantly, binding Wang Huiming tightly and making him unable to move.
Wang Huiming screamed in pain and cursed: "You little bastard, bandage me up quickly, the blood is about to flow out." "That sound is wrong!"
Xiao Xia recognized that this was not Liu Erhu's voice, so he quickly pulled out a tinderbox and threw it in the air, and the tinderbox started burning.
The room lit up immediately.
Xiao Xia was startled and saw the room was full of blood. A big man in black was huddled in the corner. He was bald and the scarf on his face had fallen off, but the shadow just covered his face.
Xiao Xia moved the fire lighter closer and his eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that the person in the net was not Liu Erhu, but a square-faced monk.
Xiao Xia suddenly recognized that the person on the Internet was Wang Huiming, whom he had met once before.
Xiao Xia's mind was in a mess. What was going on? Wasn't it Liu Erhu who wanted to kill him? How did it become Wang Huiming?
"Hurry...quickly give me the hemostatic medicine!" Wang Huiming's voice began to weaken.
Xiao Xia reacted quickly. He had already guessed that there might be two groups of people trying to kill him tonight. He was preparing to deal with Liu Erhu, but unexpectedly, he took care of Wang Huiming by mistake.
"You must be Monk Wang!"
Xiao Xia sneered, "When you killed me, you didn't show any mercy at all, right!"
"Young man, I admit defeat. Please bandage my wound for me!"
Xiao Xia simply lit the oil lamp, and saw that a millstone-sized animal trap had tightly clamped his right calf. His left calf was covered in blood and flesh, and blood was still gushing out. The blood on the ground was almost forming a small river.
Xiao Xia quickly tore open the bed sheet to bandage him, but suddenly found a half-broken dagger in his arms. He stepped back in shock and shouted, "Throw the dagger out!"
This sentence reminded Wang Huiming. He pulled out a sharp dagger and prepared to cut the rope, but he found that he had no strength at all.
"I'm dying!"
Wang Huiming knew clearly that he had lost too much blood and would not survive this time.
He threw the dagger away with all his strength, felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Xiao Xia picked up the dagger from his body and threw it far away, then bandaged his wound.
Wang Huiming felt his life slipping away quickly. He took a breath and said weakly, "Wu Shaoan told you that I was going to come?"
Xiao Xia said nothing, sprinkled him with hemostatic medicine, bandaged the wound, stood up and said, "I'll go call someone to find the master of the family!"
"Young man, please wait a moment, please!"
Xiao Xia stopped and walked back, "I'll go find a doctor to save you!"
"It's too late, please listen to me!"
Xiao Xia walked up to him and squatted down, "You brought this upon yourself, don't blame me!"
"I don't... I don't blame you. Let me make a deal with you. I'll tell you where the tea set is, and you do me a favor."
It turned out that the tea set was still there. Xiao Xia was overjoyed and nodded, "You say!"
Wang Huiming slowly took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Xia with difficulty.
Xiao Xia took the cloth bag and felt that the things inside were very soft.
"It's me... my hair. I'm not... not Wang Huiming. I killed him. I'm... impersonating him."
This news really shocked Xiao Xia. This person was not Wang Huiming. Then who was this person?
"There's...a name and address in the bag. Give it to...my brother."
Xiao Xia felt that he was about to die, and asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is the tea set?"
"In...in Wu Shaoan's hands."
The other party's voice became weaker and weaker. Wang Huiming used up his last bit of strength to grab Xiao Xia's sleeve and said, "Please, send my... my beard back home!"
Xiao Xia's heart softened and she nodded, "I promise you!"
The light in Wang Huiming's eyes dimmed, and he sighed softly, "I never thought that I, Shan Xiongying, who had been rampant in the Central Plains, would die at the hands of a young man. It's God's will!"
Wang Huiming's hands dropped down, his head tilted, and he took his last breath.
Xiao Xia sat on the ground, trembling all over. What should he do now? He had killed someone, really killed someone. Maybe he didn't kill Wu San, but he really did kill Wang Huiming.
Xiao Xia stuffed the cloth bag under the quilt, slowly stood up, and blew out the light with a "whoosh!"
His original plan was to find someone to inform the owner of the house, but at this moment he changed his mind. He couldn't tell anyone and had to drag this man out and bury him immediately.
As soon as he turned around, the door opened with a bang, and a man rushed in from outside with a long sword in hand like lightning.
