Chapter 10: Nine arrows in a row, killing people with traps
Li Che held the spirit infant statue in his hands, his eyes flickering.
Since the other party was targeting him and took out the evil spirit baby wooden carving as a mark, Li Che naturally did not dare to gamble. If he went out to work and the other party forced his way into the earthen house and took action, he would regret it.
"The safest place... is of course the wood carving shop!"
"I am now a woodcarving master and have my own workshop. I can let Xixi and Xiaoya stay in my workshop..."
"Well, stable and safe!"
After making the decision to play it safe, Li Che woke his wife Zhang Ya up.
"Ms. sir, you were too tormented last night. You must have been holding it in for a long time..." Zhang Ya's pretty face was slightly red, and she looked at Li Che with eyes that could squeeze out water.
Li Che smiled and rubbed his wife's disheveled hair.
"Madam, please clean up, take Xixi with you, and go to the wood carving shop together... accompany me to work these two days."
Li Che said.
Zhang Ya was suddenly startled. Go to the wood carving shop to work together?
"Ms. sir, today is your first day of work as a wood carver... Wouldn't it be a bad idea for me and Xixi to go together? Will it make the shopkeeper unhappy?"
Li Che shook his head: "No, the workshop is the woodcarver's private space, and family members are allowed to stay there. I will explain it to the shopkeeper."
After hearing this, Zhang Ya stopped saying anything and started packing her things, taking Xixi with her, who was dancing and playing with her eyes open on the bed.
After wrapping Xixi tightly, the family braved the wind and snow and set out for Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop.
Li Che protected his wife and daughter as the cold wind roared in. He tightened his wife's cotton clothes tightly to cover Xixi to prevent the cold wind from hitting her.
At the same time, Li Che glanced around with his peripheral vision, feeling very vigilant.
Zhang Ya's heart suddenly trembled when she saw her husband like this. She knew something must have happened, but Li Che didn't say anything, so she stopped asking, but she also felt worried silently in her heart.
The couple and their children walked through the wind and snow and set foot on the long bluestone street covered with snow.
"The Holy Spirit teaches, cleanses the dust, reincarnates without worries..."
"You have to have superior wisdom without teaching..."
The tinkling sounds resounded, the bells clashed, the drums rang, and the Lingying Cult members came from a distance in a bewildering sequence.
On the raised altar, a wooden statue of a spiritual infant with three heads and six arms became increasingly sinister in the gust of incense smoke.
Li Che even vaguely felt that the eyes of the wooden sculpture of the Lingying Dharma Master were specifically looking in the direction of their family, with blurred vision, staring at him all the time, making him feel like a thorn in the back!
"Ms. sir..." Zhang Ya looked at the queue of Master Lingying, her face obviously a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Don't look, just go straight."
Li Che patted his wife, put his arm around her slender shoulders, and walked straight towards the wood carving shop.
However, Li Che inexplicably felt the cold wind blowing behind him, as if a figure had been following their family.
Crisis is like thick ink soaking into a pond, starting to fade away little by little until it blackens the entire pond.
Fortunately, we soon arrived at Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop.
The moment he stepped into the wood carving shop, Li Che felt his body relax. He looked back into the distance, his eyes narrowed, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow flashing around the corner.
"Lei Chunlan?"
Li Che's chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't help but feel murderous thoughts.
"Ache?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Chen Dabao was holding a gourd and drinking. He saw Li Che and Zhang Ya and Xixi beside him.
This battle... made him stunned for a moment, but Old Chen was an old man, and when he thought about what Li Che said before about Master Lingying eyeing his daughter, he knew better.
"Come in first."
Lao Chen looked solemn and asked Li Che to take his wife and daughter into the shop.
Li Che arranged Zhang Ya to his workshop and came to see Lao Chen.
Lao Chen drank gourd wine and glanced at Li Che: "Are you being targeted?"
Li Che nodded and took out the wooden sculpture of the Spiritual Infant that appeared at the door of his house last night.
The moment he saw the Lingying wood carving, Lao Chen's expression became solemn and he stopped drinking: "You did the right thing. It is only safe to bring your wife and daughter to the wood carving shop. Your house... is no longer safe."
"Dharma Master Lingying, Dharma Master Lingying... If you give this wooden carving, it means that Lingying teaches your daughter to evaluate... that she is a Lingying!"
Old Chen took the wood carving with an extremely solemn expression.
Li Che's expression also couldn't help but change.
"They should have been keeping an eye on your family. Did this 'three-headed and six-armed spiritual infant statue' only appear last night?"
"It seems that they know that you have become Xu Ji's wood carver, and know that you will definitely move into Xu Ji's compound, so..."
Li Che looked ugly: "Are they going to strike first?"
"Yes, you were lucky enough to be steady enough to take over your wife and daughter..." Old Chen clenched his five fingers, and the Lingying wood carving was instantly covered with cracks and shattered into pieces with a clicking sound.
"You said someone was following you? Is it the midwife who killed many babies?"
"Maybe, I didn't see it clearly...can't be sure."
"For the sake of you and me becoming harmonious and friendly neighbors... I'll take you on a trip to see if it's the brainwashed midwife..."
Lao Chen took a sip of strong old wine, narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Li Che couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
He knew that the reason why Lao Chen's attitude changed was because of his wood carving talent, which could make wood carvings very meaningful. This kind of talent... seems to be more important than imagined!
Li Che placed his wife and daughter in the workshop and told Zhang Yamo not to run around. Lao Chen asked an old master to help him keep an eye on things, and then left the shop with Li Che.
Both of them put on bamboo hats to resist the wind and snow.
After leaving the shop, Old Chen threw a cloak to Li Che, wrapped it himself, and tied the wine gourd around his waist.
Came to the corner of the alley.
But all I saw was a "spiritual infant statue with three heads and six arms" placed on the snow at the corner of the alley.
"Oh, you are so courageous. You dare to put a mark in front of Xu Ji's shop... Do you really think that Xu Ji is made of clay?"
Old Chen narrowed his eyes and stamped his foot. As his energy and blood surged, the Lingying wooden sculpture instantly exploded into pieces.
Wow!
at the same time. A black figure in the distance seemed to be frightened, and walked away quickly on the snow.
"Found it." Old Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Che.
"Follow up slowly and pay attention to safety."
After speaking, Lao Chen's exposed skin was as red as fire, his body relaxed, and his muscles tensed, making a sound like a bowstring.
The snow under his feet instantly melted into water, and a wave of scorching heat rushed towards his face. With one step, it was like a red-hot iron being thrown out quickly, smashing into the flying snow in the sky and chasing the fleeing black figure.
Seeing Lao Chen ejected away in an instant, Li Che was slightly shocked.
Grinding skin and opening tendons, tempering bones and exchanging blood... I don't know what level Lao Chen has reached, and Lao Chen's inner strength is also extremely good.
Exhaling a breath of hot air in the wind and snow, Li Che pressed down the sleeve crossbow hidden in his sleeve, his face as cold as water.
We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves missing...
Thinking of the lovely Xixi being targeted by these villains, Li Che felt intense rage in his heart.
If you want to mess with my daughter, I...
Kill you!
…
…
Li Che stepped on the bluestone road and quickly caught up with him.
From a distance, I saw Lao Chen leaning against the wall at the corner of the alley, holding a gourd and sipping wine.
In the alley behind him, a black figure huddled on the ground, blood dyeing the white snow red.
"It's not the midwife, she's just a skilled practitioner who worshiped the Lingying Cult and became a believer."
When Lao Chen saw Li Che coming, he said calmly.
Li Che's heart suddenly sank and he was a little disappointed.
It's not Lei Chunlan... it's a real pity.
The big man had dark skin and had a toughness that had been exposed to the weather, but at the moment he was extremely sluggish, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he fell to the ground, breathing hot air and coughing up blood.
It was obvious that he was beaten severely by Lao Chen without even taking a few blows, and his injuries were severe.
After Lao Chen drank, he felt as comfortable as smoking afterward.
Li Che stared at the big man with his head buried in the snow, clenched into fists, his eyes extremely cold.
"Where is Lei Chunlan?"
Li Che asked in a hoarse voice.
"I...I don't...don't know..."
The big man buried his head and hummed back.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Che kicked him hard on the head, knocking the big man's head hard on the snow-covered bluestone floor, making a muffled sound.
Li Che kicked him several times in succession. The big man gritted his teeth and just groaned, without wailing or making a sound.
Old Chen looked at it lightly, half-smiling but not smiling.
After a while, the two of them walked silently on the long street, Lao Chen holding his hands behind his back, leisurely.
Li Che, who was on the side, looked at Chen Dabao: "Old Chen, you go back to the shop first, and I'll buy a catty of pig head meat and two taels of rice wine to thank you..."
When Old Chen heard this, he immediately grinned: "You're welcome, go ahead, go ahead, I want the marinade shop in the west of the city."
Li Che smiled, responded, and ran into the wind and snow.
Old Chen looked at Li Che's disappearing back, smacked his lips, picked up the gourd, pulled out the sieve, and took a sip.
"This boy... is a good father."
"However, if you have never practiced martial arts, killing a skinned martial artist... is not easy to kill."
…
…
In the alley.
The snow was flying and scattered, and it was bone-chilling.
The strong smell of blood filled the air, and the dark-skinned man who had been severely beaten by Lao Chen staggered up from the ground, bending down and holding on to the wall...
Lao Chen was too strong, but as he had just polished his skin, he had no power to resist.
As for Li Che's kicks, for a big man in the skin-grinding realm, they were not painful at all, just a little humiliating.
"None of the spiritual infants targeted by the Dharma Master can escape... not even Xu Ji can be saved..."
The big man groaned and gasped.
suddenly.
His waist suddenly stiffened as he looked at it, and the light at the entrance of the alley was obscured by the shadows of people.
He raised his head with difficulty, only to see a slender figure wearing a bamboo hat blocking the alley.
And the figure wearing a hat raised his arms.
call out!
It was accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air and penetrated the flying snow.
puff!
It seemed like something exploded...
The big black-skinned man felt a stinging pain coming from his eyes. A wooden crossbow arrow, packed with strong power, penetrated his eyeballs, and blood instantly blurred his vision.
He howled miserably, and the pain instantly burned his nerves!
Like an enraged tiger, it roared angrily and was about to pounce on the person who was shooting secret arrows at the entrance of the alley and tear him apart!
Wearing a bamboo hat, Li Che looked at the charging black man with indifference. Along with the whistling sound, another crossbow arrow burst out.
One arrow after another, all the hair went into the eyes!
Dermabrasion is indeed rough and thick...but can you still polish off your eyeballs?
Shoot all the nine arrows in the first wave of the sleeve crossbow.
Until the big black man fell to his knees on the ground, his head was stuck like a hedgehog, he died completely, and there was no movement.
Li Che shook out his sleeves, hid the sleeve crossbow with an expressionless expression, turned around and put down his hat...
Walking towards the braised pork shop in the west of the city.
