Chapter 3: The Boy Who Was Hunted and Slain
Liu Shuangxuan was startled, and then looked closely, and saw from a distance that under the hazy moonlight, a little sword light and sword shadow flashed in the mountains and forests, which was very dazzling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the middle of the night, there were still people fighting in a group here? Liu Shuangli sighed heavily, sat up straight, rubbed his eyes with some displeasure, and secretly annoyed: "Nasty guy, disturbing people's good dreams."
Just listening to the sound of the sword, it was getting louder and closer, and in a short time, it was less than a hundred meters away from the tree where Liu Shuangli was perched.
Liu Shuangli had already climbed high, but now it was night again, and she was not afraid that the two groups of people who were desperate for each other below would find her. Therefore, she sat peacefully on the tree, looking coldly at the two centaurs under the tree through the shaking shadows.
After just a cursory look, Liu Shuangli found that the strength of the two groups of people who were torn apart was obviously not equal. It looked like a group of powerful black-clad masked men were chasing and killing two men in power suits.
The two men who were being chased were covered in blood at this time, and when they came closer, Liu Shuangli found that one of the men was still holding a boy in his left arm, a boy who looked to be only eight or nine years old.
I saw that the man who was not holding the child was desperately blocking the front, and while struggling to block the repeated attacks of the man in black, he shouted loudly to his companion: "You go quickly, take the master away!"
When the man in his arms heard this, he did not hesitate, and after quickly blocking a sword from an enemy, he stopped fighting, and ran towards the mountain. It also happened that the direction in which the man went straight was where Liu Shuangli was hiding.
It can be seen that as soon as the man ran a few steps, he suddenly 'pounced', and his body fell heavily to the ground, and the strength of his hand was loosened, and the boy in his arms became unstable, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Liu Shuangli couldn't help jumping in his heart when he looked at it, and when he looked closely, he found that the man holding the boy had been shot in the calf of his right foot with a flying knife by the man in black who had been chasing.
As soon as the man holding the boy fell, he knew that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly used his last strength to grab the boy and throw him away, shouting loudly at the same time: "Master, we can't do it, you run by yourself, run!"
It also happens to be impartial, the place where the boy was thrown is under the big tree where Liu Shuangli is hiding.
Liu Shuangli saw it clearly, and his heart was shocked, seeing that the two men were each stabbed several times, bleeding nonstop, but they were still desperately resisting the black-clothed masked man, so for one purpose, he didn't let the black-clothed man get close to the boy.
Protecting each other so desperately, Liu Shuangli couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. Looking at the boy under the tree who was desperately protected, he saw that he was also covered in blood, but he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of the people who protected him.
But when he saw that the boy under the tree did not do what his protector had called, he immediately ran away. Instead, he slowly retreated backwards step by step, and in a moment he saw his small body shrink into the shadow of the tree.
The two men who desperately blocked the man in black couldn't stand it for long. The boy who retreated to the shade of the big tree still didn't take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he grabbed the big tree pole with one hand, clenched his fist with the other, and stared at the final fight ahead.
The two men who were protecting the boy finally couldn't resist the attack of the men in black, and after desperately putting down a few more men in black who were chasing and killing, they fell down one after the other.
At the same time as the two men in strong suits fell, the boys hiding behind the big trees had been clenching their fists in an instant. And his whole body seemed to soften at the same time as his fist was released.
Finally, a few more knives were added to the two men in the strong suit who had fallen, and seeing that the man was dead and could never move again, the man in black immediately freed his hand and began to search for the boy.
The boy who was hiding behind the boulder under the tree, watching the man in black who was chasing him come to this direction, the boy instinctively shrank behind the tree again, trembling and slowly bypassing the boulder hidden behind the tree, trying to hide himself in the night as much as possible.
But as soon as he took two steps back, he found that behind him was a bottomless slope.
Liu Shuangli, who was hiding in the tree, saw this scene clearly.
Looking at the two men in black who had opened their hands, they were exploring step by step under the big tree. And the boy under the tree was trembling with fright.
Seeing that it went on like this, either the boy was caught by this group of men in black, or his feet were trembling and rolling down the slope.
In this way, they will surely die.
Liu Shuangli couldn't bear to look at it. As soon as she gritted her teeth, she pressed her toes lightly, and unleashed the light skill of the swallow to pick up water, and slid silently behind the boy along the thick tree pole in an instant. Then he grabbed his mouth with his left hand, and hugged the boy's body with his right hand at the same time. Then with a tap of his toes, he immediately held the boy in his arms and silently jumped back to the leafy tree.
The soldiers were dangerous, and at the moment when Liu Shuangli carried the boy to the big tree, the black-clothed masked man who searched for him followed the bloodstains to the big rock where the boy had just hidden.
It's so dangerous!
The moon drifted out of the clouds, and the hill brightened again.
Although there was a shadow of a tree, the black-clothed man who searched for it still saw the remaining blood stains on the boulder hidden behind the shadow of the big tree at a glance.
Such fresh traces of blood can be seen as a boy's stay.
A whistle called, and several other men in black who had searched elsewhere were summoned to the boulder.
All the black-clothed men who were chasing and killing gathered under the big tree, looking at the bloodstained boulder and muttering and discussing.
There was blood on the rocks, but there was no blood on the poles, and the wounded boy could no longer climb the tree.
So, it is impossible in the tree.
Where can the boy flee in the dark?
One of the men in black stepped forward curiously and looked behind the boulder. But as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly stepped into the air, and his body immediately fell down. Fortunately, the companion who followed him reached forward in time at that moment and grabbed him. Only then did the men in black realize that behind the boulder was an extremely slope. When the probe looked closely, it was found that there were many rocks on the slope, which was extremely dangerous.
The black-clothed masked man looked at the blood stains on the boulder, and then looked at the dangerous cliff behind the stone. They didn't believe that the little boy they were chasing and killing, who was wounded, dared to crawl down.
So, they ignored the slope and, after muttering, dispersed and searched for the left and right sides of the boulder.
However, after searching around the boulder, I searched dozens of zhang away, but there was no trace of blood left, and no fresh footprints and any other traces were found.
The black-clothed masked people were puzzled, and after searching for a while, they had to turn back to the bloodstained boulders, and muttered again. They looked at the steep slope that stretched down behind the stone.
I can't find any ropes, and the only thing I can think of now is this slope. They had to make a guess: the boy was forced to climb down the slope in desperation in order to escape for his life.
At this moment, the bright moon in the sky was already slanting to the west, and half of the hill was hidden behind the moonlight.
The black-clothed masked man looked at the slope and cursed on his lips.
The slope was facing the moonlight, and some of them almost fell because they couldn't see the road ahead? Looking at such a steep slope, it is extremely difficult to climb in the daytime, let alone in the backlit night? If you are not careful, you can easily slide down the cliff and then break your bones.
But although it was very dangerous, in order to chase and kill this inevitable boy, several black-clothed masked men began to climb down the slope in the dark.
In this way, five or six of the dozen or so black-clothed masked men who came after him climbed down the slope to continue the pursuit. The remaining seven or eight were either cleaning up the scene, or carefully searching the ropes around them, or turning around and going back to report the situation.
Finally, they all stayed away from the big tree where Liu Shuangli was hiding.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the black-clothed man who was left to clean up the scene finally finished cleaning up and turned to leave. The willow on the tree let out a long breath and let go of the palm that had been pressed against the boy's mouth. At the same time, the right hand holding the boy's waist also eased his strength.
As soon as the boy who was chased and killed loosened, he immediately turned his head, stared at Liu Shuangli with a pair of black eyes as thick as ink, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Liu Shuangli was stunned, his bright eyes glared back at the boy, and he replied angrily: "I am the one who just saved your life." ”
The boy's sharp eyes looked Liu Shuangli up and down vigilantly, and it took a long time before he uttered a sentence: "Thank you, you saved me!"
