Chapter 320: The Horse Thief
The leader of the horse thieves is called Zhao Dan, the word is Mingcheng, probably because he has studied private school for two years, although there is no ink in his stomach, he can only be said to be able to read and break words, but he still respects the reader and does not treat Confucianism badly.
However, the horse thief himself was already so poor that he was not badly treated, and it was just a hard piece of jerky and two dry and hard cakes every day.
Thanks to the proximity to the water source, you can cook some carved rice into a pot of broth every night, otherwise this food will be difficult for even an ordinary woman and child to satisfy, let alone an adult strong man.
It's just that it's already stretched, and with another child, it's not enough at all.
Fortunately, although the horse thieves looked ferocious and were actually ferocious, they showed superhuman endurance in the face of such a child, and some people personally milked the mare's milk and sent it.
Confucianism is called Zhao Rui, who has studied vertical and horizontal art before, and has admired Taoism for a long time.
After waking up, Zhao Rui took Li Bai to settle here.
It's not that he's willing to help the abuse, but he realized in his conversation with Zhao Mingcheng that in this boundless desert, it's really dangerous for him to take a child on the road alone.
Even if you escape this wave of horse thieves, you may not be able to escape the next wave.
It has been proven that his crappy swordsmanship is no match for even a horse thief.
And so the days passed.
In the blink of an eye, it's three years.
In the past three years, Zhao Mingcheng's gang of horse thieves has not expanded, and even lost four brothers in a conflict with the surrounding horse thief gang, so life has become more and more difficult.
And Li Bai also showed a talent beyond the imagination of ordinary people, whether it was literacy and hyphenation or arithmetic, he could quickly master it, and even followed Zhao Rui to practice rough swordsmanship for a few days, and he had a posture of being better than blue.
Zhao Mingcheng was so shocked that he jumped out and said: "Is there really someone who is born to know in the world?"
The pink-carved dolls have brought an unimaginable experience to these horse thieves who lick blood all day long, among them, whether it is the slightly more elegant Zhao Mingcheng or the rugged Ma Lao Liu, they actually hope that they can have an heir.
Although they are a group of out-and-out bad people, they have no heroes, and there are no characters who have lost their conscience, and they all like this doll in their hearts.
"Take Li Bai away. ”
One day, Zhao Mingcheng found Zhao Rui and told him.
"This kid is so smart, he is destined to do great things in the future, there is no need to mix with our group of damned robbers. ”
Zhao Rui silently accepted his suggestion, brought food and water, and picked up the little doll, which was only three years old and had curiosity in her eyes.
Before leaving, Zhao Mingcheng and a group of rough men took turns hugging Li Bai.
Especially Zhao Mingcheng, he shaved Li Bai's face fiercely with his rough beard, and said to him: "You must become a talent, you must be a master, a cheap life like us is just fluttering in the wind, maybe it will be gone one day." ”
He let go of his hand, clenched Zhao Rui's rough hand, and handed over a large bowl of mare's milk wine: "Brother, follow this road all the way to the west, and Hu'er will take you out of the desert and to the nearest Tang town." ”
"Here are two silver cakes, it's good to spend when you go back to the town, don't take them out at once, first find Hu Qing, the owner of the cloth shop in the town, to change it, so as not to attract people to covet it." ”
Zhao Mingcheng's lips squirmed for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "Promise me that you will take care of Xiaobai." ”
Zhao Rui nodded silently.
He didn't like to talk, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.
Hu'er is the name of Zhao Mingcheng's favorite horse, the divine horse is very, it is said that he snatched the heavenly horse from the Dayue clan back then, and can travel thousands of miles a day, and the treasure is usually very good.
The two silver cakes are the only "liquidity" on the current horse thief's account.
Today, Zhao Mingcheng and others did this, giving him a feeling of trust, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he feels that this group of horse thieves should be in great trouble, so it is time for him to leave.
So he stepped on his horse.
Ma Lao Liu, who looked at him the most unpleasantly on weekdays, shouted: "If you kid can't take care of my eldest nephew, Lao Tzu won't let you go!"
Zhao Rui nodded, his expression was wooden, and then he instigated his war horse and ran towards the west.
In the same place, Zhao Mingcheng laughed and said: "Brothers, you and I have left with peace of mind, today we should die here, but even if we die, we must let the Black Mountain thieves know that my good men in Banliangpo are by no means a piece of fat in their mouths to be chewed." ”
"Hahaha, that's right, even if we die, we have to break their two big teeth!"
A bunch of horse thieves are laughing fiercely at the moment.
In the distance, smoke and dust were already billowing in.
The horse thieves of the Black Mountain Thieves quickly gathered around the gate of the stockade, without any politeness, and with the wave of the leader's hand, they immediately swarmed up.
Zhao Rui stopped on the hillside, looking at the oasis full of smoke and dust at the bottom of the mountain, his expression was still wooden, but his eyes gradually became red, he clenched his fists, and warned himself over and over again, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
After a long time, he jumped back on his horse and left without looking back.
In his eyes, bean-sized tears rolled down his rough face.
Three days later......
The three desert wolves were far behind, and in the land where the demon seed existed, although these wolves had also mutated to a certain extent due to the influence of the power of the demon path, they had already fallen from the top of the food chain.
If it weren't for the terrible taste of their meat, they would have turned from predators to predators.
But even so, they are still good hunters.
At this moment, they had already smelled the strong dying aura on Zhao Rui's body, and these creatures who were good at gnawing at carrion were even better at chasing death than the vultures in the sky.
The war horse was lost.
Zhao Rui was also seriously injured.
They didn't run into a horse thief, but they ran into a strangely shaped demon seed.
If it weren't for the fact that the last demon seed stiffened for a moment, he wouldn't have had a chance to leave, but even so, the divine horse named "Hu'er" was still dragged away by the demon seed and feasted on it.
The wolves' patience wore out, saliva dripping from their mouths, and greed in their green eyes.
Just as a wolf lowered its body, ready to attack.
The child, who was only three or four years old, suddenly opened his eyes, and his black and white eyes were full of murderous intent, and in an instant, it seemed that a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared, and between heaven and earth, the wind and clouds changed color.
The three desert wolves wailed, a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts, their fur exploded instantly, and they fell to the ground trembling.
It wasn't until Zhao Rui's figure gradually moved away that he dared to run away with his tail between his legs, and that posture was almost like two halts.
Li Bai, who was hiding in the sea of baby knowledge, couldn't help but think of the sentence "The wolf's feet are fluttering, the eyes of the wolf are blurred, the wolf walks on the ground, who instigates who is the dog." ”
Hahaha hiccup –
Covering his mouth, he almost laughed out of a pig cry.
Li Bai continued to go back to sleep, hiding his merit and fame.
Zhao Rui didn't realize what was happening at all, his steps were still staggering, a long cut was cut in front of his placket, and he hugged the baby in his hand tightly, as if hugging the world.
Be sure to get out of this desert.
With Zhao Mingcheng and the belief of the gang of horse thieves, let Li Bai live.
Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light.
