Chapter 103 Ambush
It is the second day now, and we are resting on the way.
Li Qi is taking the time to practice in a small scale, which does not consume too much physical energy, but can slowly digest some water vapor, and at the same time he also divides his attention to reading.
Shen Shuibi is bullying the squirrel.
She is digging the squirrel hole.
The squirrel next to her dares not to be angry.
The main reason is that she suddenly fell in love with nuts yesterday, and it seems that she likes the fragrance of nuts very much, because Li Qi told her the meaning of the people who eat melon seeds, so she got interested.
But there are no melon seeds here, only acorns and pine cones in the snow-covered White Snake Mountain.
Where are there more acorns and pine cones?
Easy to say, of course it is in the pine tree hole.
So, she did something unforgivable.
That is to rob the squirrel.
She succeeded, and after a fierce fight, the squirrel lost.
Baji, baji, baji, she sat under the tree chewing the winter food that the squirrel had worked hard to collect, and her expression looked very relishing, very cute.
Unfortunately, the squirrel didn't think so.
But nature is so cruel. In this competition among small herbivores, the rabbit won a great victory.
Good thing, good thing.
Apart from these episodes, Li Qi was not going to rest. After daily exercise, he continued on his journey.
The journey was still peaceful. After all, there were only two people on the road, and one of them was a master.
Not only could they not see any goods to rob, but they would also provoke masters. Few people with brains would do this.
Robbery also depends on the person's dish. Just like when a wolf pack is dispatched, it must be fast, accurate and ruthless. Even if it misses, it cannot hurt itself too much.
Although the wolf pack walks in the mountains and forests, it is majestic and not afraid of tigers, but it dare not attack casually, because after being injured, others will miss you, and the situation will be more serious.
In this way, large caravans are more suitable targets. They can rob one or two cars and run away, with little loss and gains.
Facing two people who are alone and have the power to fight back, it is like a hedgehog, with no meat and many thorns, which the wolf pack does not like to eat.
So, after a safe journey and traveling overnight, they returned to Shewei County the next night.
Li Qi thought about it and decided to go back quickly to prepare some food for Lao Ma, and then set off quickly.
Although he didn't know whether the county magistrate knew about it, it was not good to keep him.
County magistrate, what a high-ranking official.
According to Li Qi's current understanding, the scope of a county is at least a thousand miles, which is almost enough for a province in the previous world.
Although he is called the county magistrate, he actually has the power of a high-ranking official. There are tens of millions of people in the county town. Counting the surrounding villages and various scattered mountain villages, the population must be tens of millions.
The county magistrate should be the secretary.
It is better to have less trouble than more. Although running away one day earlier will prevent Lao Ma from getting fat, it can avoid possible troubles. Overall, it is still profitable.
At worst, go to the next county town to get fat again.
At Lao Ma's speed, he can reach the next county town in one day.
Li Qi made up his mind, returned to the city, and then ran to the door of the inn without stopping.
"Shopkeeper, check out." Li Qi knocked on the door, went in, and said straightforwardly, not intending to say much.
"Okay guest, should the money you prepaid for the stable and feed be converted into money for you, or directly sent to you in private?" The shopkeeper did not say much, but checked out very straightforwardly.
It has been a long time since the tenants stayed for seven days, and it is normal to check out. They have been prepared for it.
Besides, this is the shopkeeper's personal order, saying that the requirements of this gentleman should be met as much as possible, and never offend him.
Although I don't know why the shopkeeper said this, there must be a reason.
The accountant and the waiter quickly checked the bill, wrote down the specific expenses on paper, and showed it to Li Qi.
Li Qi calculated it and confirmed that it was correct. Then he should pay the money and check it. Then the groom led the horse and handed it to Li Qi.
Li Qi didn't say much, got on the horse and prepared to leave.
The old horse was still reluctant.
I guess life has been too good recently.
"Okay, it's been a week, what else do you want? You're naughty, right?" Li Qi kicked the old horse lightly and scolded with a smile.
"Week? What's that?" Shen Shuibi heard a term she didn't know and asked curiously.
"Uh... nothing, it means seven days." Li Qi casually passed it off.
"Oh..." Shen Shuibi nodded thoughtfully, and I don't know what she understood.
Pulling the old horse out of the stable and onto the street.
Li Qi, as always, hung the backpack, carried Shen Shuibi on the horse, and then climbed on the horse himself.
Ready to run!
But before the horse's hooves sounded, the old horse suddenly froze all over, and made a posture that could run wildly at any time, but did not move.
Shen Shuibi also immediately became alert and pulled the corner of Li Qi's clothes: "There is a sound, Li Qi."
Li Qi held the knife in one hand and the willow branch tied around his waist with the other hand: "What direction? I can't feel anything."
There is no way, in terms of perception, except for the progress bar, there is really nothing worth praising.
"It's a ghost, and it's a ghost that deliberately hides its body. It's four steps in front of us." Shen Shuibi immediately reported in a low voice.
Li Qi was relieved when he heard it was a ghost.
It's a bit uneasy to hit someone.
It's a sure thing to hit a ghost.
Since Shen Shuibi had figured out the direction, Li Qi pretended not to notice and urged Lao Ma to walk forward a few steps.
Then, he suddenly pulled out a willow branch and whipped it forward!
With a snap, a wail resounded all around.
Ghosts were running around in pain, and the yin energy was overflowing!
Now, Li Qi, who had opened the perspective of looking at the qi, also saw a ghost.
With fangs and claws, green face and fangs, the whole body was not only full of yin energy, but also evil energy!
This is not an ordinary ghost, but a fierce ghost!
It has transformed into a five-element thing, and can hurt and eat people.
Li Qi certainly won't leave a way out. Since the sneak attack has been successful, he will whip it again.
The second whip was attached with the spirit of Shentu Yulei.
The ninth-grade fierce ghost can be whipped to death with two whips.
The willow branch given by Dazhu himself is an overwhelming advantage for the people below.
But this whip did not hit.
This ghost was suddenly enveloped by some strange power, and flew backwards. It didn't seem like it was flying by itself, but rather it was tied up with a rope and pulled back forcibly.
Li Qi looked in the direction where the ghost was flying back.
But he saw an old man in a brocade robe holding a jade box in his hand. It was this jade box that took the evil ghost away.
The old man who suddenly appeared looked at Li Qi and said, "Young man, why are you so cruel? You just want to kill my ghost slave here just because you took a look?"
