Chapter 323 Conflict escalates
Change later.
Qinghe City is a small town in the north of Lingchu State. It is about thirty miles away from the town. The mountain road is narrow and difficult to walk. It was not until noon that Ye Mu had walked halfway.
Just as he was about to drink some water to rest, the grass and trees beside him swayed, and three people jumped out, without saying a word, surrounded him with a mighty look.
"unlucky!"
Ye Mu cursed inwardly that the three people in front of him, one thin man, one pockmarked man and the other exposed man, all deliberately showed their ferocious spirits, and they were the rascals nearby.
These people cannot endure hardships and rely on some strength to bully ordinary people. He has heard others say it, but he did not expect to meet them today.
"Boy, don't want to be beaten, hurry up and hand over the money you have."
The leader was a man with a black face with a flesh-faced face, holding his thick arms and looking at him with a sneer.
Ye Mu clenched his fists and felt uncomfortable being bullied, but the situation was stronger than others. He could only hand over his burden and said frustratedly: "A few uncles, these are the cakes and copper coins."
The black-faced man was a little disbelief. When he opened it, his face turned darker. He was so angry that he threw the bag on the ground, stepped on it, and cursed, "He is a fucking poor man again."
On the left was a pockmark, looking at the sesame cake on the ground with some distress, "Boss, what should I do? Or just eat this sesame cake? Don't get dirty."
The thin man on the other side also nodded, "Boss, we didn't eat at noon."
After the two said this, the black-faced man became even more evil. Looking at the thin Ye Mu in front of him, he felt inexplicably disliked him, and raised his leg and kicked him.
"You're not rich!"
Ye Mu was kicked to the ground, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, cramped in his abdomen, and cold sweats were bursting. He never expected that he was so honest and obedient, and he was still beaten, but the reason was that he had no money!
In an instant, Ye Mu's eyes turned red. He could tolerate others robbing him of money, but he couldn't stand being beaten because he had no money. He suddenly became very angry, hating the three scoundrels and their weakness and disbelief.
"What? Not happy? I'm not happy. I'm in a bad mood today, I just want to beat you up, and you're unlucky."
The black-faced man rubbed his fists, his eyes were fierce, and he was about to continue greeting Ye Mu's face.
Whoosh!
At this time, a green light suddenly shot out from Ye Mu's waist, as fast as lightning.
The black-faced man felt his hands hurt, and then there was a black spread there, and then he was dizzy and stared so scared that he widened his eyes.
"Viol snake!"
He hurriedly looked at a small blue snake that was falling in front of Ye Mu, sticking out his tongue at him.
"Brother, why is there black air on your face?" Mazi noticed something was wrong recently, pointed at the black-faced man, and said in a little fear.
"I..." The black-faced man fell to the ground as soon as he said a word.
"Boy, do you dare to kill someone?" The thin man took two steps back, fierce and weak on the inside.
Ye Mu was also a little confused and looked at the green snake. When did it become poisonous? Isn’t it okay to bite himself last time?
"Let's go and report to the official." Mazi whispered, trying to stay away from this snake, it's too dangerous to stay here.
But Ye Mu also heard this, and his eyes chilled: "Little snake, bite them to death!"
His face was a little distorted. If he was reported to the official, he would die. It would be better to kill two of them.
Whoosh!
After hearing this, the little snake rushed out directly.
"ah……"
Two screams rang out almost at the same time. This time they were even worse than the strong man and fell to the ground after a few breaths.
Seeing the three dead, Ye Mu's head was a little blank. He gritted his teeth and got up, found something from the three of them, and then hurriedly left the scene with his own baggage.
Ye Mu ran for several miles with his wounds before hiding exhausted beside a stream.
At this time, his whole body was still trembling. Although he did not kill anyone, the three people died because of him, especially the person he called Xiaoshe to kill, which made him very uneasy.
"I didn't do anything about this deep mountain and forest. I probably can't find out that it was me..."
After comforting himself, Ye Mu calmed down, drank full water by the stream, washed his face, and finally suppressed his fear with the help of the cool stream.
"Hiss! That guy is so strong."
After calming down, Ye Mu felt a lot of pain in his abdomen. This pain made his guilt of killing people weaken a lot.
"I was forced to feel guilty about it too."
Ye Mu murmured, and recalling the powerlessness and humiliation at that time, he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"If I don't have the strength, I will be bullied wherever I go." Ye Mu gritted his teeth, and his thoughts about becoming an official were dispersed a little, and he hoped that no one would dare to bully him like those heroes.
But soon, Ye Mu looked dizzy and sighed.
"Oh, no matter whether you are an official or a martial arts practitioner, you have no skills. I am a beggar and have no background. What should I do..."
Seeing the burden of a lot of stuff stuffed in his hand, Ye Mu temporarily put his worries behind his head and began to clean up.
He first looked at the money, but not much, only one hundred articles, which was pretty good.
A piece of dried beef that is as big as a fist, finally has some meat to eat.
And a wrinkled book?
Ye Mu opened it and saw that it was a martial art called Zhenshan Fist.
"The name is so awesome? It's not fake."
He looked at a few pages and curled his lips. It was indeed very ordinary boxing, but the name sounded great.
"Forget it, at least there are some moves, practice should help you strengthen your body."
Ye Mu smiled helplessly, picked up the dried beef, and slowly ate it with the water in the gourd.
I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Even though the beef was salty and dry, Ye Mu still found it very delicious and swallowed it all soon.
Wiping his mouth, Ye Mu only then remembered the little snake that helped him a lot, and looked down at his waist. It was empty.
"When did it disappear?" Ye Mu was a little disappointed, afraid that this only partner would leave him.
Suddenly, the green grass next to it moved slightly, and the little snake came out, holding a herb in its mouth.
When Ye Mu saw the little snake coming back, he smiled and was a little surprised to see the red herb beside its mouth.
"This is the Blood Spirit Grass!"
He has collected herbs all year round and naturally knew a lot of herbs. This Blood Spirit Herb replenishes blood and heals the wounds, and has a strong effect. It can be listed as the top medicinal herbs he knows, worth dozens of taels of silver. Even he has only seen it elsewhere, but he did not expect that this little blue snake could find it.
Ye Mu was excited. He would not have to worry about eating and drinking after selling the herb.
After being excited, his eyes were a little wet and his heart was touched. He wandered alone for several years, no one cared about him. Unexpectedly, a snake would look for healing herbs for him.
The little snake placed the blood spirit grass in front of Ye Mu and stuck out his tongue. He could understand that this was seeking credit.
"I did a good job, but remember, I must listen to me, don't run around or bite people in the future, do you know?" Ye Mu said seriously.
