The fat man's face suddenly became strange, "Little brother, are you going to take this path?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry, I can't afford to take some risks. ”

"Well, little brother, don't blame me for saying frustrating words, I don't completely listen to rumors, I have walked that path, there are too many weird, and that incident has happened again in the past two years, and people who want to cut corners can only enter and exit, which is absolutely true. If you think about it, if you weren't in a hurry, it wouldn't be worth the risk. The fat man reminded him very seriously, and he didn't lie about it.

But Pan Lao beside him changed his complexion greatly, he half-leaned back and began to cough violently, which immediately pulled the broken ribs, and suddenly he couldn't stop baring his teeth.

Li Tianchou watched coldly, did not pay attention to the other party, but smiled and said to the middle-aged fat man: "Thank you for the reminder, but I am really in a hurry, so I don't need to persuade again." Of course, if you don't want to, I can't force it, so I can take the trouble to take us to the entrance of the path, which can be regarded as a great help to me. ”

"Where is this? I Gongsan is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if the benefactor insists on going, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you on this trip. ”

Fat Gongsan's words were categorical and very righteous, which made Li Tianchou feel interesting, such people are either true and righteous, or they have bad intentions to play, but now is not the time to screen, there are opportunities along the way, and it is also lively to have such two not simple people around. He didn't pretend to excuse himself, but nodded and asked again about the distance of the path.

"It's not far, less than twenty miles. I went all the way down this ravine, turned left when I reached the depression, and then turned right after walking half a mile, and I went all the way to the forest, but I am afraid that the entrance is not easy to find, after all, no one has walked for a long time. ”

"It doesn't matter, just know the general direction, and it's almost time to rest now. I'll fix Lao Pan's bones, and we'll hit the road right away. The fat man was sharp, and Li Tianchou was also happy, and he stood up as he spoke, but soon fell to the ground again.

Gong San was not surprised by Li Tianchou's sudden strange behavior, because he also noticed the abnormality, and quickly turned over and squatted, hiding behind the rock.

A very slight abnormal sound came from above the ravine, on the slope where Li Tianchou and the three of them had just fallen. Although the sound is erratic, it is by no means a natural mountain wind or any other movement, like a person or an animal trampling in the mud and trying to suppress it.

The situation is not good, it seems that the location of the three people hiding has been exposed, and the other party, whether it is a human or an animal, is trying to approach them very patiently. What's worse is that the person who came was condescending, which was very unfavorable to Li Tianchou and the others.

Li Tianchou gestured to the fat man, and the two of them moved Pan Lao towards the bottom of the mountain rock, trying to avoid the angle of the other party's overlook, and then threw the firewood knife to Gong San, and explained, "Stay here and don't move, I'll go around and take a look." He burrowed into a bush not far away.

This move, Li Tianchou undoubtedly handed over his back to Gong San, which seemed to be a helpless move, but he was not worried, in the case that the danger was not lifted, the other party would never dare to hurt people, and he could also use this sudden situation to secretly observe this person.

Li Tianchou had no sense of trust in Gong San, and only had a few hours of contact, and he felt more and more mysterious about this person. On the way to run, he deliberately avoided talking to the other party, and he didn't even ask about Gongsan's origin. And Gong San seems to be rough, in fact, he is very good at observing words and feelings, and he rarely takes the initiative to speak, let alone asks Li Tianchou about the identity of the two, and the three of them have walked dozens of miles together It is a tacit understanding, which is a very strange phenomenon.

The most abnormal performance is Pan Lao, since he was rescued from the iron cage by Li Tianchou, he has basically become mute, except for the pain of the wound and can't help humming, it is difficult to open his mouth to speak.

Lao Pan's mentality at the moment, Li Tianchou knows best, from a hunter to a prey, and then from a prey to a waste, such a shitty thing is very disturbing. But in this case, the former prey did not do anything to him, and did not abandon him when he became a waste, what does this mean? The old man could not think through it, and did not dare to speak rashly.

In addition, Lao Pan seemed to be very curious about Mercury San, and the strange eyes that looked at each other had an indescribable taste, and Li Tianchou even suspected that the two knew each other before, but the interesting thing was that this situation could not be captured on Gong San's face at all.

The sounds on the hillside are not as frequent and dense as before, perhaps the other party is aware of something and is more cautious, or maybe they want to hide their whereabouts by the sound of the mountain wind and the swaying of plants. Based on this alone, Li Tianchou judged that the other party was a human, not an animal, or more likely to be the pursuers of the armed group in the valley.

About ten meters to the left of the bushes is the bottom of the slope, and there is no shelter in this distance, so you have to turn around and take a farther detour if you want to touch it without noticing. Li Tianchou tried several times but couldn't judge the number of the other party by hearing, so he had to decide to take a detour, being at a disadvantage in position, and then waiting for the other party stupidly, completely losing the initiative, this is not his style.

As for how to deal with Mercury Three on the front, whether he can calm down and withstand it, Li Tianchou has no time to care about it for the time being. There was a light tremor of the bushes, and a figure sprang out quickly, without any sound except for a slight strong wind, and in the blink of an eye it swept past the rocks where Gong San and the others were hiding, and burrowed into the dense jungle behind them.

Li Tianchou's movements were extremely fast, and Gong San noticed that the vegetation behind him was shaking, but it was only a half-breath, and everything was silent, as if nothing had happened. He even suspected that his eyes were glazed, but his intuition told him that Li Tianchou had left quickly.

This surprised Gong San, he didn't expect this young man to be so agile, he didn't show the slightest appearance on the way to escape just now, even if he was supporting Old Man Pan all the way, he only thought that the other party was young and vigorous, and his physical strength was outstanding. But now it seems that it is far from so simple, the second son has just behaved like a ferocious predator in the wild, calm, cunning, skillful and energetic.

Perhaps approaching the target, the trackers began to show their fangs, and several figures appeared on the slope one after another, although most of them only showed a small half of their bodies, which also made Gong San gasp, it turned out to be the group of militants in the valley, a total of nine people, each fully armed, and they found the secret passage that they thought was very hidden.

Ever since Gong San was accidentally caught in the valley, he had been observing the number of these armed men, not counting pure production laborers, about fifty people, barely a reinforced platoon, known as a company to the outside world.

The gang belonged to the notorious General Noban, and were relatively well armed with light weapons, but lacked ammunition, and no lethal heavy weapons were found. Although they and General Noban ostensibly belong to Yang Shixun's forces, they are actually more grouped with the two neighboring private armies, forming a separate system.

The gang under Noban is relatively low-level in the Shan Special Zone, where large and small forces are intricately mixed, and they are mainly active at the junction of the Third and Fourth Special Zones, and their main livelihood is to grow and sell tobacco. As for the murder of people and goods, it is not uncommon.

This accidental capsizing of the boat, and Li Tianchou and the three of them easily escaped, naturally they were very angry, and in order to hunt down the three of them, they used the strength of a whole squad at once, which is understandable.

In the current state, in the eyes of the pursuers, the fugitives hiding behind the mountain rocks naturally have no way out, and the question is how to capture all the other party at the cost of zero casualties, which requires some brains.

Because they had just observed that the figure sitting beside the mountain rock suddenly disappeared, and there was only one explanation, and the other party must have discovered something and hid it. And they knew that last night the chief's gun was lost along with *, and if the other dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, things would be very bad.

The leader of the pursuers was called Kun Lang, and he decided to confuse the fugitives with shouts first, and at the same time quietly divided his troops down the slope to outflank him, and in order to prevent accidents, he also arranged for a soldier with good marksmanship to lie on the top of the slope in the best position and act as a sniper at any time.

Kun Lang's voice is hoarse, but the speed of speech is not fast, and it still has some charm when it echoes in the mountains. Gong San could naturally understand the content of the shout, but he pretended to be dumb for the time being, on the one hand, he didn't know where Li Tianchou had moved, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay as much time as possible in silence.

The same content was shouted three times in a row, Kun Lang was a little angry, if he hadn't seen that the outflanked soldiers were still some distance away, he would have had a seizure. After pouring a large mouthful of water, Kun Lang wiped his mouth and planned to continue shouting, when suddenly the other party's voice came from behind the mountain rock below, speaking Chinese, but Kun Lang could probably understand, "I don't understand your words, can I speak Chinese?"

Kun Lang, who could not hear or speak Chinese, was suddenly stuck, and he gestured to order the soldiers going downhill to speed up, and then stretched out his hand to summon the people around him and asked who could speak Chinese, but to his disappointment, no one could.

Kun Lang's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed fiercely, although he was not comparable to the irregular army, but he gathered in the Wuthering Mountains and forests all the year round, and he was engaged in the business of losing his head at any time, and he had participated in many firefights, and he was still very experienced in skirmishes in the jungle.

He suspected that the other party was deliberately delaying time, and even more suspected that the three fugitives were not all hiding behind the rocks, otherwise it would be pointless to do so. It would be a threat if one of the outlaws was hiding somewhere with a gun, and although he had a wide field of vision, and as far as the eye could see, Kun Lang had not noticed anything abnormal, but the possibility increased greatly in his mind.

Kun Lang immediately ordered two soldiers to support the people who were outflanking downhill to speed up the capture, and ordered two soldiers to find a suitable place to ambush along the way to prevent a sneak attack on their backs. As a result, there are only three people left in front of the fugitive, including himself.
