Chapter 57: It's all under control
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and in just twenty hours, there were already seven groups of gangsters from the Evil Tiger Cottage coming down from the mountain road.
Naturally, all of these unlucky people were killed, and the next few batches of bandits simply became the target of Xu Daoyun's archery practice, and they all died without turning a blind eye.
Xu Daoyun's purse became more and more bulging, and so far a total of 112 taels of silver have been looted, plus two copper coins.
At noon, Pei Xiuhua rode from the west.
Gao Taiping didn't wait for him to get off the horse and asked, "But the evil tiger cottage has begun to break through?"
Pei Xiuhua jumped off the horse and said, "In the past two days, we have strangled many bandits who came down the mountain, and I am here to deliver the news for the Three Heroes Jun Huaiming." The Evil Tiger Cottage must have been aware of and prevented, and everyone must be up to deal with it, especially to shoot the birds and sparrows of Sanshen Mountain in time to prevent them from asking for help. If the thieves are too strong to resist, they need to shoot the cloud-piercing arrows immediately and ask for help, and we will be the first to arrive. ”
Gao Taiping nodded and said, "Well, there are Lao Pei Sixia, please tell Sanxia and let him relax." ”
Pei Xiuhua bowed his hand, turned over on his horse, and turned west.
As expected by Tongjun Huaiming, on the evening of the second day, the Evil Tiger Cottage really began to break through to the bottom of the mountain, and the situation of the other four mountain roads is not known for the time being, and there are more than 30 gangs of people breaking through on Xu Daoyun's mountain road alone.
Fortunately, Gao Taiping and others had already set up traps and ambushes, so it was easy for more than 30 bandits to come and go.
Xu Daoyun looted more than 60 taels of silver that night, and also seized a bow and more than 30 arrows.
It's a pity that the bow weighs only 300 catties, but fortunately, the material is high-quality and the workmanship is fine, which is just right for hand training.
The next day, the next hour, in the early hours of the morning.
The bandits launched a breakthrough again, and this time there were only more than 20 people who broke through, but each of them was good and guarded, and the trap ambush did not play much role.
Xu Daoyun and Gao Taiping each hid in one place, opened their bows and shot three or five thieves in succession.
However, the forest was full of trees and obstacles, and the bandits were running extremely fast, and they were approaching in an instant.
The enemy approached, Xu Daoyun was unfamiliar with his bow and arrows, so he had to summon Chong and Jian to fight forward.
Huang Yanyao and others also jumped out of the bushes and trunks, fighting with the bandits.
Gao Taiping jumped back, shot down a thief with lightning arrows, stepped on the trunk of the tree and jumped up to the treetops, condescendingly, and fired a series of bows and arrows.
These bandits were entangled with Xu Daoyun and the others, and there was no way to distract him, and Gao Taiping's arrows were extremely fast, and he shot down six or seven in an instant.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the thieves were timid, shouted and fled in all directions.
The enemy was weak, and Xu Daoyun and others took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Gao Taiping's eyes were as sharp as an eagle in the trees, and he would never let go of a bandit, and he shot arrows extremely fast, killing all the fleeing bandits.
Xu Daoyun scavenged some broken silver and walked back, and suddenly his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he saw the eyelids of the thief lying behind Huang Yanyao moving slightly, and suddenly jumped up, and pulled out a short knife from his waist and stabbed her in the back of the neck!
Li Wenjuan glared and shouted: "Yan Yao, hide!"
Huang Yanyao hurriedly turned around, only to see a hideous and vicious face and a short knife rapidly dilated in her pupils, she didn't have time to dodge at all, she watched the broken blade stab towards her neck, and subconsciously closed her eyes.
Shout!
Burst!
The long-awaited pain did not come for a long time, Huang Yanyao opened his eyes, only to see that the hideous and vicious face had a stiff expression, a feather arrow on his forehead, and the short knife in his hand had fallen to the ground.
Huang Yanyao turned around and saw Xu Daoyun holding a bow in his right hand and half-raising his left hand, this arrow was actually shot by him.
She had mixed feelings in her heart, and was about to open her mouth to thank her, but Xu Daoyun took two steps forward, took out a money bag from the evil man, and said with a smile: "The cunning guys are very smart, there are at least twenty taels of silver here, it seems that he is a good kind of mix in the cottage." ”
Li Wenjuan hurriedly ran to Huang Yanyao's side and asked, "Yanyao, how is it, are you not injured?"
Huang Yanyao was shocked, his face turned pale, and he reluctantly smiled: "Sister Wenjuan, I'm fine." ”
Li Wenjuan said: "Thanks to Xu Daoyun for coming to the rescue, thank you quickly." ”
Huang Yanyao was about to thank him, but Xu Daoyun waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't be so polite, everyone is a friend, and it is right to help." ”
As he spoke, he stepped on the evil man's neck with one foot, pulled out the feather arrow with his left hand, wiped it on the evil man's clothes, and said with a smile: "Use one less than one, you can't waste it." ”
Gao Taiping fell from the tree, walked over and said with a smile: "Good apprentice, the movements are quite neat." ”
"Hehe, it's the master who teaches it well. ”
Xu Daoyun looted more than 20 taels of silver from the Evil Tiger Cottage Gang, and obtained more than 300 taels of silver, plus a total of more than 500 taels before.
Although he is the third young master of the Xu family in Quwo County, he has never seen more than five hundred taels of silver, and he doesn't know what he can do. However, he knew that with this silver, at least he would no longer have to worry about wealth, rice, oil and salt in the future, and he could go to restaurants and restaurants to eat when he was hungry, which was really convenient.
Fortunately, Xu Daoyun has a Qiankun bag, otherwise the five hundred taels of silver are too cumbersome to put on his body, let alone fighting with people, and walking is too much of an obstacle.
......
Sanshen Mountain, Evil Tiger Cottage.
In a ventilated pavilion on all sides, there were five people with gloomy faces, and the man on the first seat was named Xue Batian, tall and majestic, wearing a brown robe, yellow skin, and blazing eyes, not angry and arrogant.
He rubbed the armrest of the wooden chair with his left hand and said: "Three masters, you have always been resourceful and calculating, this time my cottage is facing the difficulty of life and death, do you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
The name of the third master is Huang Kui, dressed in a plain robe, wearing a black soft hat, born white, quite tall, and dressed like a literati.
He was originally a scholar and full of ambitions, but unfortunately he failed to succeed in many attempts, so he was resentful, abandoned literature and martial arts, and was willing to fall, and went to the three gods to become a leader, and he still lived all day long, happy and happy.
Huang Kui picked up the teacup, touched his lips slightly, and said: "They blocked our way down the mountain and set up many ambushes, obviously trying to cut off the water source and trap us in the village. ”
Xue Batian asked, "Then do you have a way to deal with it?"
Huang Kui said: "They have been prepared for a long time, our brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and it is really a good strategy to force down the mountain. At this time, close the village, save food and water, immediately fly pigeons to pass the book, and ask for help with a lot of money before retreating from the enemy. ”
Xue Batian lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Now there is only this way to choose, those guys will definitely open their mouths at every turn." ”
Huang Kui said: "Money is something outside the body, try to survive this catastrophe first, the coming days will be long, and we have time to get it back." ”
