Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 43

It was already dark when Zhao Lin sent the doctor away.

Back in the room, I saw my brother lying on the bed in a daze, with his father and mother taking care of him.

"How is my brother?"

Zhao Lin walked to the bed and touched his elder brother's forehead. He felt his hand was hot, he must have a fever.

"Your brother has strong bones and can bear it."

Father Zhao said in a muffled voice, then sighed, "How on earth did you get a beard?"

Zhao's mother also said: "Lin'er, please make it clear that my father and mother are helping you as a staff officer. If it is really impossible to sell our land, I will compensate them."

"This matter can't be settled with money..."

Zhao Lin gave a wry smile, and recounted the experience of going hunting in the mountains at the beginning of the year, being robbed, and finally killing Huzi.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were dumbfounded after hearing this. They did not expect that their youngest son, who had always been honest and never killed a chicken, would do such a big thing.

"Father, mother, I blame me for causing trouble, causing our whole family to be chased and killed by Beard." Zhao Lin said shamelessly.

Father Zhao was silent for a while, then said: "This is the end of the matter, there's no use regretting it, and besides, you did this to collect money to get your brother out. Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Lin glanced at his unconscious brother, and said, "This is safe for the time being. The yamen is across the street, and Huzi dare not make any big moves. But after a long time, there is no guarantee that they will not come to the door."

Having said that, he took a deep breath, "I'll find a way to send you away as soon as possible."

"us?"

Father Zhao was startled, and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Zhao Lin shook his head lightly, "I can't go! Beard's purpose is to catch the four of us for revenge. As long as I'm in Qinghe County, their focus will always be on me."

"But if I run away, Beard will definitely track me down. It will be very difficult for our family of four to avoid their eyeliner. Once we are blocked by them on the road, we will only be slaughtered."

"So I must stay!"

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother objected at the same time.

"No, let's go together!"

"Son, you can't handle a beard by yourself."

Zhao Lin's expression was calm, but his tone was extremely firm, "I've already thought it through. Only in this way can our family have a chance."

In order to make his parents accept his decision, he simply said: "I practice martial arts in Liuhemen, and beards can't do anything to me, but if you fall into their hands, what should I do?"

The two elders were speechless immediately.

Zhao Lin walked out of the room and asked Xiaoer to bring in some food, then pushed the door shut with a table, moved a chair, and sat at the door with an iron ax in hand.

How to survive the immediate crisis?
How did the beard find it?

All kinds of thoughts were flying around in his mind, Zhao Lin felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but close his eyes until the middle of the night...

Early the next morning, Zhao Lin opened his eyes suddenly, and saw his parents leaning on the bed, and his elder brother had already woken up.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" Zhao Lin tiptoed over and stretched out his hand to see that his brother's fever had subsided.

"Well, I'm thirsty." Zhao Shan said hoarsely.

Zhao Lin quickly poured a bowl of water and served his elder brother to drink it.

After a while, the inn gradually became bustling with noise, and Father Zhao and Mother Zhao also woke up.

"Father, mother, I'll go out for a while, you wait for me in the house."

Zhao Lin gave them the food from last night, "Eat something when you are hungry, and don't go out."

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother knew that Zhao Lin was going out to do errands, and told him to pay attention to safety.

The inn was very close to the county government office, and it was just across a street. Zhao Lin came to the county government office and stood beside the stone lion by the door.

He put himself in his shoes and thought that when he fled into the county yesterday, Hu Zi would definitely send someone to block the surrounding roads to prevent him from escaping.

Then they sent people into the city to look for him.

In such a large county, it is not easy to find someone, so I and my family are safe for the time being.

He stood in front of the county government office for nearly half an hour, but he still couldn't see Liang Song, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

He and Liang Song made an appointment to meet here. If the other party doesn't come, it probably means that something happened.

Zhao Lin wandered around anxiously, worrying about the safety of his parents in the inn on the one hand, and worried that Liang Song and Zhou Paotou would not find him when they came.

The situation is critical, and one more person will have more strength, and only by helping each other can we tide over the difficulties.

He also considered taking his family to Liuhemen to avoid disaster, but he quickly gave up this idea.

I am just an apprentice, not a formal disciple.

Beard is cruel and cunning, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he still has a family.

If you throw it directly, it is likely to bring disaster to others.

After hesitating again and again, Zhao Lin decided to continue waiting.

Finally, when the sun was about three poles high, Liang Song's figure appeared on the street, trotting over.

Zhao Lin noticed that his eyes were red and swollen, and couldn't help but feel a sinking heart. He asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Zhou Paotou?"

"My cousin is dead, and Zhou Paotou is also dead!"

Liang Song stared into his red eyes, choked up and said, "Hu Zi gouged out the hearts and livers of my cousin and Zhou Paotou, disemboweled them and hung them on the tree at the head of the village."

"what?"

Zhao Linru was struck by lightning, and the voices and smiles of the two flashed in his mind, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, "Dog Beard!"

"I'm at odds with Beard!"

Liang Song gritted his teeth, and then asked Zhao Lin with some doubts: "I have never figured it out, how did you say Huzi found us suddenly?"

"Speak from another place."

Zhao Lin took Liang Song to a secluded street corner, looked around carefully, and saw that there was no suspicious person nearby, and said, "I thought about it all night last night, and I figured out what the problem is. I still remember the arsenic and aconitum we bought before hunting." ?"

"It's poison!"

Liang Song got it right, he let out a remorseful "Aiya", stamped his feet and beat his chest.

Arsenic and Aconitum were sold in limited quantities in the medicine hall. At that time, Zhou Paotou arranged for Zhu Dachun to buy these two things, and went to several towns to buy them.

The wounds on both Xiong Wei and Hu Zi showed signs of poisoning, and Hu Zi could definitely see that. When they were looking for Xiong Wei's gallbladder in various medicine halls, they must have also found records of people buying large quantities of poison in winter.

Most of the wild animals hunted by hunters are used for meat, so few people use poison when hunting.

Huzi followed this breakthrough point and was the first to find Zhu Dachun, and the matter had a reasonable explanation.

Zhao Lin didn't have much say in the team at the time, and he only listened to it when Zhou Paotou arranged it. Now that I think about it, I ignored this important information afterwards.

Liang Song was silent for a while, and said, "Huzi will definitely not let us go, what are you going to do? Should we leave or stay?"

"I'll stay and send my family away."

Zhao Lin briefly explained the reason and asked him, "How about you, are you going?"

Liang Song had a ferocious face, and slowly shook his head, "I have already escaped once, and I don't want to escape again this time."

Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Okay, let's fight them."

He made up his mind that since he couldn't avoid it, he could only face it head on. He was a time traveler with a golden finger.
