Chapter 5 The Lakeside Hut

Xu Chen led everyone, holding a few firewood knives in his hands, and walked to the northeast after leaving the Huangcheng Temple.

There is a small hill a few miles away from the Imperial City Temple, and the mountain bag is surrounded by a small bamboo forest.

"Brother Chen, what are you bringing us here for?"

Everyone followed Xu Chen to this with a puzzled and anxious look.

"Here, chop bamboo. ”

Xu Chen distributed the firewood knife in his hand and took the lead in chopping it.

Lu Hao couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around to leave after taking the firewood knife.

"Stop!" Xu Chen shouted.

"That's enough! it's my sister who was kidnapped!" Lu Hao's distorted face had a hint of madness, and he should be on the verge of exploding.

"Yingying is fine, I've been to see it. After speaking, Xu Chen bent down and continued to cut the bamboo.

Lu Hao was stunned, "What did you say?"

"Just now I went to the gate of the Du family and squatted for a long time, and found that the gate of the Du family was closed, as if something had happened. Later, a family member came out of the side door, and I quietly followed. I followed him to a thatched hut on the edge of the East Lake, I saw Yingying tied up in the house by three splashes outside, and the family went in and told him that Du Tian couldn't come tonight, and asked them to watch Yingying in the thatched hut tonight, and Du Tian would come to pick up someone tomorrow. The family put down a handful of copper coins and left. ”

Xu Chen never stopped the firewood knife in his hand when he said this.

"So, at least it's safe tonight. ”

"Why don't you rush in and just rush in?" Lu Hao said loudly to Xu Chen.

"I can't beat them. Xu Chen straightened up and looked at Lu Hao calmly.

"There are three of them, I can't beat them, let alone rescue Yingying. ”

Lu Hao was suddenly stunned, he couldn't understand why the young man in front of him would admit his incompetence so calmly. The three teenagers next to him were also speechless by Xu Chen's "indifference".

In the young hearts of young people, it doesn't matter if you can beat it or not, the most important thing is that you must go up and fight. At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the style of rangers prevailed, and although it was in this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, you could still see young people walking with swords.

In the hearts of Lu Hao and the four of them, this kind of ranger style of seeing uneven roads, drawing swords, and standing up is a model for my generation. Especially the four of them are orphans without a father or mother, and they hope that they can have a good force so that they can not be bullied.

So, at this moment, the hearts of the four of them actually had a trace of disdain for the young man in front of them who had fought with them.

Xu Chen, who was a human being, read this from their eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"If you want to rescue Yingying unscathed, just listen to me. ”

"It's not difficult to rescue Yingying, although the three gangsters guarding Yingying are tall and big, but the five of us have no chance to go together, but where should we go after saving people? Xu Chen said.

"It's a big deal to be beggars, anyway, we are orphans, and we haven't begged before. If we can't stay in Yuzhang City, we'll go somewhere else. Shi Lei was a little anxious.

"Hehe, it's okay to be a beggar, but I have a way to save Yingying without leaving home, do you want to give it a try. Xu Chen said with a smile.

Maybe it was Xu Chen's confident look, or maybe everyone was really confused and at a loss, so they chose to stay.

"Let's chop some bamboo. With that, Xu Chen took the lead in chopping again.

Everyone was busy for a while and cut down more than a dozen bamboos. Xu Chen broke the thick bamboo and braided several round shields with bamboo strips. He also sharpened the front end of the bamboo, which was thick with his arm, to make several bamboo spears. A few slightly shorter bamboos were also sharpened into short spears. Finally, the leaves in front of a thick bamboo are removed one by one, all the forks are kept, and then the back end is cut off, leaving the upper end about a zhang long.

Xu Chen threw the long bamboo in his hand to Shi Lei, "Little stone, I see that you seem to have a lot of strength, try to see if you can wield it." ”

Shi Lei looked at Xu Chen suspiciously, and then waved it whirringly. Zhang Xu's bamboo is still a little difficult to dance in Xu Chen's hands, but Shi Lei can swing it freely with one hand.

"Yes, it's a lot of strength. Xu Chen nodded.

"I have a set of formations here, called the 'Five Elements Array'," he said, and distributed the bamboo spears and shields to everyone.

"Xiaoshi stands in front, Brother Hao and I stand behind Xiaoshi, and Leather Monkey and Zhou Kang stand behind us......"

I saw the whole team, Shi Lei held Xu Maozhu in the front, Xu Chen and Lu Hao followed closely with a long bamboo spear in their hands, and at the back were Wang Tieniu and Zhou Kang who held a short spear in one hand and a bamboo shield in the other.

"Now I'm going to talk about what you should do. After the enemy rushed over, the small stone used the long bamboo in his hand to meet it, and he didn't need any moves, just dance up and down, left and right. I sharpened the forks at the front end of the bamboo, and when the enemy's clothes or flesh were hanged, Brother Hao and I stabbed him with spears. Monkey Leather and Zhou Kang were responsible for blocking the enemies rushing from the side, blocking their upper bodies with bamboo shields and stabbing their legs and feet with bamboo spears. ”

"Do you remember everything?" Xu Chen nodded when he saw everyone.

"Okay, let's rehearse a few times first. Saying that, everyone rehearsed, all boys, since childhood, they like to learn the way the general marches and fights, chasing and playing in the streets and alleys. At this moment, with such a powerful formation, even Lu Hao, who was usually calm, was a little interested.

After practicing a few times, Xu Chen saw that everyone was proficient, so he took them to the thatched hut by the East Lake.

"When the next fight starts, you must remember that the formation cannot be messed up! "Although everyone has seen blood in a fight, this is the first time to go into battle after all, Xu Chen did not forget to instruct.

After walking for a while, the people came to the hut. After waiting quietly in the grass next to him for a while, he found that a qiē was normal. Xu Chen led everyone to touch it quietly.

"Damn! I was going to follow the boss to the kiln after finishing my work tonight, but I didn't think that Du Dashao would not come today, and the brothers would feed the mosquitoes here tonight. One of the thugs in the hut spat thick phlegm.

"Stop yelling, isn't it just one night? How many times have you been nagging. ”

"Hey, do you think we want to play with the little girl tonight?" said the gangster just now with a lewd face.

When Lu Hao, who was outside the house, heard this, he immediately straightened up.

"Don't get excited, let's lean over slowly. Xu Chen grabbed him.

"Fuck off your sister, I'm not interested in such a yellow-haired girl, I want to have no breasts, I want an ass without an ass. ”

"Okay, the boss specially explained that he couldn't do anything to this girl. There are rules, and since the boss has collected the money, we must abide by the rules. A man who seemed to be taking the lead said.

Hearing this, the first thug lowered his head stupidly.

At this time, Xu Chen and the others had already touched the hut.

"Who!" said the man who had taken the lead, as if he had heard something, and stood up in shock, and opened the door to come out.

"Oops! It's been discovered!" Xu Chen was also taken aback, and then shouted, "Array!"

The crowd hurriedly formed a formation and went up to meet them.

"Look out for this girl in the house! I'll go out and deal with them!" said the man who took the lead, seeing only a few young men coming, to the other two thugs.

Dahan untied the package he was carrying, pulled out a steel knife from it, and strode out of the house.

"Where did the unwanted boy dare to come and tease grandpa's tiger power!" shouted the big man.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the momentum of the steel knife wielded in Dahan's hand, and when Dahan saw this scene, he immediately smiled contemptuously.

"Don't panic, keep in formation!He's only one person, Yingying is still inside waiting for us to save him!" Xu Chen hurriedly shouted.

Xu is last sentence made the big guy temporarily suppress his fear, and the formation slowly stepped forward.

"It turns out that you are just those little beggars, who are not afraid of death, let the horses come. ”

The big man raised his knife and cut down, Shi Lei quickly used the long bamboo to meet it, the strength of this knife was really great, breaking the front end of the long bamboo, and a crack of more than a foot appeared on the bamboo, fortunately, the big man's steel knife was also stuck by the long bamboo. The big man shook hard, intending to pull out the steel knife, and Shi Lei hugged Changzhu tightly and fought with him.

"Good opportunity!" Xu Chen and Lu Hao saw the opportunity and stabbed the bamboo spear in their hands towards the big man who was restrained.

Dahan's other hand only held the spear stabbed by Lu Hao, and Xu Chen's spear pierced deep into Dahan's abdomen. The big man wailed.

Xu Chen and Lu Hao hurriedly exerted their strength again, but the big man couldn't stand it, and after taking a few steps back, he fell headlong.

The two thugs in the house were stunned for a moment when they saw their head being knocked down by several teenagers so lightly. But thinking that Lei Lao Wu would definitely not spare them after going back, he hurriedly rushed out.

When Leather Monkey and Zhou Kang saw the two thugs rushing out of the hut, they greeted them.

With a bamboo shield in his left hand, he slammed into the thug, and with his right hand, he stabbed the thug's bare thigh with a short spear, and two more wails rang out. The two thugs immediately clutched their legs and fell.

Seeing this, the leather monkey Zhou Kang was well versed in the essence of street fighting, and they stabbed the gangsters in the abdomen twice while they were sick, and blood flowed for a while.

After taking care of the two gangsters, the two quickly turned around and walked towards Xu Chen and them.

The big man with the knife seemed to have some strength, and the three of them couldn't take him for a while. However, Xu Chen and Lu Hao resisted to the death, and Dahan never got up.

After the two new forces joined, four long and short spears beckoned to the big man together, and the big man had to let go of the hand holding the knife.

From the moment Dahan's steel knife was stuck and he didn't let go decisively, Dahan's defeat was doomed.

After a while, the big man also completely collapsed and could not move.

Seeing this, Lu Hao immediately rushed into the house and untied Lu Ying.

The little girl, who had never cried, was crying loudly in her brother's arms at this time.

"Don't be afraid, brother is here to save you!" Lu Hao hugged Lu Ying, stroked Lu Ying's hair, and comforted.

……

Xu Chen found a rope in the house and tied up a few people outside the house.

Lu Ying cried for a while and then stopped her tears.

Lu Hao looked at the bruises on his sister's hands, thinking about his mother's instructions when she was dying, remorse, and self-blame all turned into anger against a few gangsters.

Lu Hao picked up the big man's steel knife and walked in front of a few gangsters, raised the knife and slashed.

Seeing this, Xu Chen immediately blocked it with the spear in his hand, and with a "click", the bamboo spear broke in response.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chen hit Lu Hao with his shoulder, knocked Lu Hao away from a few gangsters, and snatched the knife from Lu Hao's hand.

"What are you going to do, do you want to startle the snake?" Xu Chen shouted.
