Thanks: Brother 08a for the reward, thank you Xia Tian.

It was raining heavily, and a carriage was driving on the muddy official road. The driver was lean and sinister, and he was none other than the rogue leader 'Ma Qi' from Dingtong County.

In the carriage, 'Huang Shaohong' was lying there motionless with his eyes closed, breathing vaguely and blushing fiercely, as if he had a fever. 'Qimuge' on the side had a worried look on his face. He dipped his handkerchief in water and kept talking.

Wipe it on his forehead and neck.

The shepherd dog 'Awang' lay aside, quietly guarding the two owners.

‘click’

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbling thunder, and the earth seemed to tremble under the thunder.

'Ma Qi' shivered, and then sneezed twice in succession. Although the carriage had an eaves, it could only cover his head and face under the heavy downpour, and his body had already been hit by the rain.

wet.

Rubbing his nose, ‘Ma Qi’ glanced at a few unknown corpses being eaten by wild dogs beside the official road, and sighed with an unbearable look on his face:

"Hey, these evil Xianbei barbarians!"

Then he asked worriedly into the carriage:

"Mother, how is the master?"

‘Qimuge’ said worriedly in the carriage:

"It's still the same, but it's very hot now. By the way... you..."

'Ma Qi' said quickly: "The younger one is called Ma Qi, you can call me Xiao Qi, Lao Qi is fine, but the mistress said you, Lao Qi can't afford it!"

‘Qimuge’ continued without comment:

"Brother Ma, if I can't find the doctor again, I'm afraid my brother will be in danger!"

‘Ma Qi’ looked bitter:

"Mother, all the villages and towns we passed along the way were slaughtered by the Xianbei barbarians from Tuyuhun. Those who survived may have fled without knowing where to go. If we want to find a doctor to treat our master, we may have to go to Gongzhou.

!”

After he finished speaking, he explained:

"But don't worry, mistress, we are still dozens of miles away from Gongzhou at most. I'll hurry up the horse and we should be able to reach Gongzhou before night!"

After he said this, Qimuge in the carriage spoke again: "Thank you so much, Brother Ma!"

Ma Qi said quickly:

"I can't afford to thank you, this is what Lao Qi should do!"

After he finished speaking, he whipped the horse in front with his riding whip. The horse was in pain and ran hard, and the speed of the carriage immediately increased.

After walking for another hour,

‘clang’

When a wheel passed through the water on the road, it suddenly sank, and then the carriage suddenly tilted, and the entire carriage fell to the ground. The horses in front also neighed and fell to the ground.

This ancient official road was originally a local road. It is normal for it to become uneven over time.

If you usually see potholes on the road, you can just drive around them, but it is raining heavily and the road is waterlogged, making it difficult to see. Now a wheel is stuck in a low-lying depression on the road.

"Ouch..."

'Ma Qi' and 'Qimuge' in the carriage both exclaimed in surprise, while Nga Wang jumped out of the carriage and shouted twice at the carriage, as if he was worried about the safety of his owner.

Fortunately, the car only leaned on the ground and did not fall over. ‘Ma Qi’ quickly asked:

"Mother, are you okay?"

'Qimuge' is a child of the grassland. He grew up on a horse since he was a child. He is not so weak and he immediately said:

"It's okay, but is the wheel stuck in a pit? Can we still go on?"

This carriage was 'borrowed' by 'Xiao Shouye' from a large family in 'Dingtong County'. The quality is quite good. It was not damaged this time and should be fine on the road.

'Ma Qi' checked it out and just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the horse lying on the ground neighing quietly and not getting up. He stepped forward and took a look, with a bitter look on his face:

"Mother, the frame of the carriage is fine. One of the horse's legs is broken, but it can't walk anymore!"

As soon as the car curtain was lifted, Qimu's pretty face was revealed, with an anxious look on his face:

"But my eldest brother still wants to go to Gongzhou to see the doctor, what should I do?"

'Ma Qi''s pair of rat eyes suddenly flashed with perseverance:

"Mistress, don't worry. This place is only a few dozen miles away from Gongzhou. Lao Qi can just carry the master on his back!"

'Qi Muge' was petite, and 'Ma Qi' was short and lean. They were both short in stature. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to help 'Huang Shaohong', a muscular man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, to the back.

on the person's back.

In the past, even if ‘Ma Qi’ could carry ‘Huang Shaohong’ on its back, it would definitely not be able to go very far.

However, he had entrusted Huang Shaohong to him. After practicing it every day for more than two months, the strength in his waist and legs has really increased a lot, and it is not too strenuous to carry his master on his back.

In this way, 'Ma Qi' carried 'Huang Shaohong' on his back and strode forward in the rain, while 'Qimuge' covered Ailang's head and face with both hands, fearing that he would be exposed to the wind and cold during his injury, and 'Awang'

'Following behind the hostess, sneezing from time to time and shaking off the rainwater from her body.

The wooden grid protected Huang Shaohong from the rain, but the two small hands together were not as big as his face, so how could they cover the rain. In just a few moments, the three of them and the dog were soaked by the heavy rain like a drowned rat.

How miserable.

'Ma Qi' stepped forward and walked against the wind and rain for more than an hour. The heavy rain finally stopped, but before he could be happy, he heard 'Awang' behind 'Qimuge' suddenly bark twice.

Then he quickly rushed to several people.

‘Ma Qi’ was a little puzzled, but ‘Qimuge’ knew his own shepherd dog and said anxiously:

"Brother Ma, there must be a wild beast!"

'Woo'

Before 'Qimuge' finished speaking, the grass on the roadside shook, and dozens of wild dogs rushed out.

These wild dogs blocked their way, and they all pursed their lips and let out low growls, as if they were about to attack.

The same goes for 'Awang', but his target is his own kind, and he makes a low growl, seeming to warn these wild dogs to get away quickly.

‘Awang’ is a prairie Ao dog. It is larger in size. With its intimidation, the group of wild dogs did not dare to come forward.

Among the dogs, a slightly larger wild dog with ferocious eyes took a few steps forward and also let out a threatening growl.

'Ma Qi' glanced at a few white bones on the roadside, and couldn't help but scream in his heart. He looked at the red eyes of those wild dogs, and thought of the scene where wild dogs had eaten human corpses before. He didn't know that these wild dogs were obviously also

He has eaten human flesh.

Just when he was worried, he didn't expect that 'Awang' would take the initiative to attack.

I saw 'Awang' bow his body, dash forward suddenly, bite the neck of the leader of the wild dog in one bite, and start tearing him apart desperately.

When the other wild dogs saw him, they immediately attacked Awang.

'Awang' seemed to have a lot of experience in fighting between the same kind. He quickly let go of the wild dog that was bitten by it, and then pounced with his two front paws to push away the other wild dog that had bitten him, and spread his arms.

The big mouth started biting left and right, making the wild dogs timid for a while and not daring to get close.

'Qimuge' took out a dagger from his arms and stepped forward fiercely to fight with 'Awang'.

'Ma Qi' said quickly: "Mother, come here and help the master, I will deal with these bastards!"

As he spoke, he put down the 'Huang Shaohong' on his back, and the dagger of 'Qimuge' also slashed towards the nearest wild dog.

Although 'Awang' was good at fighting, there were too many wild dogs. Soon he and 'Ma Qi' were bitten and bruised all over their bodies by the 'wild dogs'.

It was difficult for ‘Qimuge’ to hold ‘Huang Shaohong’ on his shoulders. At this time, Gan Qian was so anxious that he had no choice but to shout loudly:

"Help, is there anyone, please help us!"

‘Whoosh’

An arrow shot through the air and pierced the body of a wild dog.

Immediately afterwards, several more feather arrows were fired. Except for two that missed the target and hit the ground, the others killed and wounded several wild dogs.

A roar sounded in the distance, and a dozen men in rags appeared on the official road behind them.

When those wild dogs saw more people, they immediately became timid and turned around to run away. However, the dozen or so men quickly chased after them. They ran faster than the wild dogs. They shot and slashed repeatedly, killing the wild dogs.

Put them all to the ground.

Judging from the way these people chase dogs, they have obviously practiced kung fu.

After these people killed the dogs, they tied them together with ropes and put one on their shoulders. Then they walked back happily, saying as they walked:

"This time I finally have some meat to eat!"

'Ma Qi' was bitten by the 'wild dog' in more than a dozen places at this time, and was dripping with blood. He was a little unsteady, shaking his body and holding his fists:

"On behalf of my master, I would like to thank you all for your life-saving grace. Please also ask me your benefactor's name. I will definitely thank you very much in the future!"

One of the leaders was a strong man, who was two meters tall, with big arms and a round waist, and a face full of flesh. He waved his hand and said with a smile:
