Chapter 322
"This symptom sounds strange. It should not be an ordinary injury. Qianze has been traveling all year round and has encountered some strange situations. Presumably, he has seen similar situations." Zhao's wife replied in a low voice.

After Li Shan heard this, he nodded suspiciously, waved his hand to the pawn, and said, "Bring Xiumu here."

The pawn retreated in response, and not long after, two servants walked into the inner room cautiously carrying a stretcher.

Mrs. Zhao leaned slightly, glanced, and saw a skinny and frail man lying on the stretcher. The man's face was purple and black, his eyes were closed, and his strange and ugly purple lips were still trembling.

Li Shan immediately stood up and walked quickly to the stretcher. Seeing Xiu Mu's painful appearance, he couldn't help feeling very sad, "How could this happen? Could it be poisoning?" "It shouldn't be poisoning. Is there any liquor?"

Zhao Qianze also came up to him. He pressed the patient's carotid artery with one hand, rolled over his black and purple eyelids, and pinched the patient, as if he was thinking.

Seeing Zhao Qianze's serious actions, Li Shan hurriedly stepped aside, fearing that it would be a disservice.

Zhao's wife turned around, turning her head away as if to avoid suspicion.Then Zhao Qianze ordered the servant to unbutton the patient's shirt, and saw that the patient's body was normal, the skin was also different from the dark purple on the face, and even the place where the soldier said he was shot was intact, without any scars.

Zhao Qianze pressed the gunshot wound again, frowned suddenly, and commanded sharply: "Look for a dagger and burn it with fire, then make a bowl of aged wine, and a stick of incense will come! Hurry up!"

Hearing Zhao Qianze's eagerness, Li Shan immediately ordered someone to fetch them one by one.

In a blink of an eye, the footsteps were flustered, the servants divided their work, and finally got together one after another.Zhao Qianze first drank a bowl of white wine with his head up, then took the joss stick, and quickly inserted the burning end firmly into the place where he pressed it before.

There was only a hissing scorching sound coming from within the flesh, and then something alive seemed to be wriggling back and forth under the skin.

Zhao Qianze saw the timing, pulled out the incense, quickly took the sharp blade and slid it down according to the wriggling shape!The skin and flesh were torn open immediately where the blade passed, and the blood in it was like a freshly dug spring, splashing all over the room in an instant.

Everyone couldn't help covering their faces to avoid the stinking blood, only Zhao Qianze didn't hide, and kept staring at the wound with scorching eyes, until a black shadow leaped out and attacked him with his bloody mouth open!
Zhao Qianze only felt the stench in front of him was overwhelming, but he didn't care too much, he used all his strength to spit out the white wine he had been holding for a long time!There was a puff, and the splashed water droplets disappeared as if they had been evaporated by the flames before reaching the black shadow.

For a while, the smog filled the air and the stench filled the nostrils. When the fog cleared, everyone took a closer look, but they couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

A thick red snake lay limp on the ground, already dead.But looking at the thickness of the Chilian bowl, it is about ten feet long, and it is probably stronger than a human when it is gathered together, it is impossible to hide in the human body.

Li Shanrao has been slaughtered for a long time, and he still can't help being frightened when he sees such evil. "This... what kind of monster is this? It can actually get into a person's chest?"

"This should be Chilian Soul, which is a kind of poisonous substance of Taoism. It is no different from ordinary snakes and insects in ordinary times. Only when Taoism reaches a certain level will it eat people and practice kung fu. It can shrink the skin and flesh of Linjia to a very small level, and it is specially designed to extract from human body. It is said that it can eat people's internal organs and swallow people's soul. Xiumu was injured in the field, and he should have been taken advantage of by this dirt. Fortunately, the time is not long, and the internal organs have not been damaged, but he was healed by it. Gun Injury. This meeting should be able to wake up."

Zhao Qianze explained while wiping the blood on his body.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xiumu, who was lying on the stretcher, groaned weakly, and slowly opened his eyes and slowly woke up.

Although his complexion was still purple, the incision on his chest miraculously healed as before, without leaving any scars.

Someone had gone to help and interrogate, and Zhao Qianze ordered someone to bring a bowl of hot soup and two bowls of white wine, and ordered them to help them drink one by one.

When the three bowls were finished, Wang Xiumu stood up unsteadily with the help of his servant.

"Brother's kindness for never giving up, Mr. Zhao's kindness for saving life, Xiumu will never forget it, and in the future, I will definitely form a grass ring and smash my body to pieces to repay the kindness of the two of you!" Wang Xiumu first bowed to Li Shan, and then turned to Zhao Qianze heavily. kowtow.

Li Shan was in a good mood, ordered someone to mix it up, gave him a seat, and said with a smile: "Why do you worship me? You can save a little life thanks to Master Zhao's treatment, and you must be filial to Master Zhao in the future!" After finishing speaking, Looking at Zhao Qianze again, he asked, "Brother, is this kid okay? Does he need to rest?"

Zhao Qianze just took the wet towel brought by the servant and was about to wipe his face. Hearing this, his face darkened, and he replied seriously: "Although there is no wound on the body, the poisonous gas in the body is far from dissipating. You must rest for at least a month, or you will be in a hurry if something happens. If you move, you will definitely attack your heart with poisonous gas, and you may be in danger of your life!"

"So serious?" Li Shan pondered.I thought that Wang Xiumu would recover so quickly, and he would be able to work normally in at most three to five days, but there was an important matter that Wang Xiumu himself had to handle.If he was allowed to rest this month, it would be a big trouble.

"Brother! Xiumu is fine! Just rest for three to five days. No one can take care of my stall. Don't ruin the big business of the brothers!" Wang Xiumu struggled to stand up and begged urgently.

"Is there anything you have to do? It's not worse to die beforehand!" Zhao Qianze threw the blood-stained towel back into the basin heavily, with a displeased expression on his face.

"Brother said yes, otherwise you would have saved your life for nothing." Although Li Shankou reprimanded Wang Xiumu, the boss was unhappy in his heart!

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern, but big brother, the responsibility on Xiumu's shoulders is Xiumu's lifeblood! This business is dangerous, but just in case, it will be the life of our brood of brothers! Xiumu's life is fate Brothers, it’s fate!" After turning over, Xiu Mu fell to his knees, his hoarse voice filled with tears.

Li Shan looked at Wang Xiumu on the ground and said in embarrassment: "Forget it, taking your responsibility is probably the same as killing you."

The development of the matter was somewhat beyond Zhao's wife's expectations. Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, she couldn't help being a little anxious, and then coughed vigorously and gave Zhao Qianze a look.

Zhao Qianze acted as if he hadn't seen it, turned around and went to the front to join Wang Xiumu, shook his head helplessly, and said: "After all, they are my brother's people, and the loyalty in this area is really commendable, but we still need to remember not to drink water for seven days. Do not eat, the three meals are the same as today, one bowl of hot soup, two bowls of wine. You also need to remember that no matter if it is a big thing, don’t get angry and don’t run fast.”

"It's really bothering the elder brother. Later, the elder brother will change his clothes, and Yunfeng will take care of the elder brother!"

"Drink another day, and then I will never get drunk with you. It's just that your sister-in-law may not be able to take it anymore. I'll accompany her back to her room to rest."

"It doesn't matter, sister-in-law is here for the first time, if there is something wrong, sister-in-law can just say, this time the matter is over, Qian Ze will definitely send brother and sister-in-law back to their hometown to take care of those bastards!" Li Shan explained to the servant in detail After a while, he and Wang Xiumu sent the Zhao couple back to the arranged room.

Zhao Qianze washed up, and went to bed early after eating with his wife.

Zhao Qianze lay sideways on the bed, took his wife into his arms and gently caressed her thin back, his voice was so soft that only two people could hear it clearly: "Wen Ying, I only care about arranging many things this way, and I have neglected you too, Have you stopped coughing up blood?"

Mrs. Zhao's original surname was Zhu, and her small characters were Wen Ying. Although she looked healthy, she suffered from hemoptysis all the year round.Fortunately, the husband and wife love each other deeply. After marriage, Zhao Qianze has been taking good care of her, and she has suffered a lot less.

If it was normal, Zhu Wenying would definitely return the same warmth, but at this moment, doubts abounded in her heart, and she didn't care about her body at all. She raised her head and whispered in Zhao Qianze's ear: "It's not that Shuo wants to take the opportunity to replace you. Wang Xiumu? Why didn't you say a word?"

"Be obedient, although Yunfeng didn't show it on the surface today, I can see that he still doesn't trust us. We have known about his black fire business for a long time, but he kept it secret when the servant urgently mentioned it. He didn't dare to talk about any details. If he continues to get rid of Wang Xiumu, he will only be suspicious if he directly speaks out to help. At that time, he will only say that there are other brothers who can do it, and we will be frozen in place, without any chance of turning around." Zhao Qianze said slowly. Slowly speaking, he also recognized his wife's prudence in his heart.

Although the doors and windows here are locked, it is difficult to guarantee that the partition has ears. The two of them, the husband and wife, go deep into the plot alone, and if they are not careful, they will lead to death. Therefore, we must speak lightly and plan carefully.

"Then what should we do now? You can't replace Wang Xiumu, so you can't personally escort the props to go to the island with Li Shan. It would be too risky to operate any more. Then Wang Xiumu is Li Shan's closest confidant, and he can't escape with every move." Li Shan's eyes! Qian Ze, let's let go this time, I don't want you to have any mistakes, I can't live without you, and the child in my womb can't live without a father." The more Zhu Wenying said, the more sad she became, and she hugged her hands tightly Watching her husband whimper. "

Zhao Qianze wiped away tears for his wife, and said firmly: "It will be fine, believe me, if I can get away, I will not attack my brother, but at this stage, there is no other choice." Although he is confident in his mouth, he is also It was gloomy and not fully sure.

three days later

Layers of dark clouds piled on the vast sea, reflecting the blue sea water in the past into a piece of cold dead gray, so dark and gloomy that it made people feel breathless. Come more often.If experienced fishermen read it, they would definitely feel fear, because it means that a big storm will soon come.

No one wants to go to sea at this time.Wang Xiumu had a red-purple sickly face, thinking depressedly.He was leaning on the railing of the boat, leaning slightly, as if he was very tired.Suddenly there was a gust of sea breeze, cold and salty, his face darkened suddenly, and he immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Full horsepower! Go forward with full rudder!"

All the people on the boat immediately mustered up their energy, and they returned to their positions and operated quickly.A leisurely man stood out among the panicked crowd.He was not in a hurry, walking towards Wang Xiumu at a leisurely pace.

"Xiu Mu, you're still sick, don't get angry."

Wang Xiumu followed the sound and looked, only to see Li Shan in black armor walking towards him with a smile.Quickly let go of the fence, gave a respectful salute, and said: "Let the big brother worry about it, the little brother is not angry, big brother don't worry!"

"Not in a hurry? His voice is hoarse." Li Shan chuckled, walked to the front, stood proudly upright with one hand holding his sword, looked at the intersection of sea and sky, subconsciously suppressed his smile, and said: "This wind is not good! Landing on the island at noon, there will be no mistakes, right?"

"It shouldn't matter. When the wind and waves rise according to the speed, we should go to the island anyway!"

"How is the cargo stored?"

"It's all very safe. It's just that there are a lot of leather-like things in the goods sent by Mr. Zhao. I didn't see them in the list before?" Wang Xiumu's feet seemed to be a little weak, and he helped the railing to see that they were more stable.

"Oh, I said before that we would use this birthday celebration to show off our style, and let Mr. Zhao prepare some unique top-notch goods. The quantity is not much, so that the gang of Japanese pirates will also open their eyes and focus on whetting their appetites. I think that's it. Now, is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"Surprisingly? It's much thinner and softer than ordinary leather. It seems really rare. In addition, besides the usual grain, there are also some fine flour, which seems to have been specially transported from the north. Master Zhao's thoughts are naturally good." "Wang Xiumu said, breathing more and more heavily, it was obvious that he couldn't hold on anymore.

Li Shan heard the clue, stepped forward to help, smiled and said: "You are unwell, and you are always so thin, even Mr. Zhao, who has never been able to hold back his shoulders or lift his hands, and only knows how to read, is much taller and stronger than you, but Don't save me food, I should eat and sleep."

Wang Xiumu straightened his body in fear, not daring to make Li Shan condescend, he chuckled: "How can you compare with a man of great fortune like Master Zhao? It's just that although I know people well this time, after all, the money and goods involved are extremely huge. Remind brothers to be alert at all times, never leave your body with a knife or a gun."

Seeing Wang Xiumu's grateful and conscientious expression, Li Shan was very satisfied, so he withdrew his hand and nodded, "This time it's not like usual, I have to ask my brothers to play up their spirits, and you have to keep an eye on all those things. Even Mr. Zhao can't relax, lest there will be any mistakes in the middle, and you should also pay attention not to get tired."

Wang Xiumu responded again and again, and only after Li Shan turned back to the warehouse did he slowly follow behind.Although Li Shan has been a pirate, he has fame after all, and his behavior is not like ordinary rough men, he always has the air of a Confucian general.Therefore, Wang Xiumu always dare not get too close, let alone be too distant.

At the end of noon, this big black ship with hidden weapons everywhere finally docked safely before the storm arrived.It was on a deserted island, and as far as the eye could see, the shore was full of jagged and strange rocks, while the island was a dense forest, as if no one had ever landed on it.

Wang Xiumu walked to the bow first, took out a small colorful conch from his arms, and blew it towards the direction of the island.

The sound was intermittent, neither a melody nor a trumpet, and the whimpering was very desolate.

As soon as the sound of the conch horn stopped, a bunch of torches flashed out of the woods, followed by a second bunch, and a third bunch, which were connected into pieces in a blink of an eye. There were about dozens of torches, and they were very bright.Those who held the torches were all young and strong men. Although their clothes were not uniform, their shapes and styles clearly belonged to foreign nations.

The leader wears a long sword at his waist, the hilt is carved from ivory, and the silver-inlaid scabbard is inlaid with ivory cloud-shaped patterns, and among the undulating cloud patterns are rare gemstones of various colors.The man's broad chest was slightly raised, and he strode forward leading a group of soldiers towards the black boat.
