Chapter Seventy-Four: Robbery

Yan Xigui came out of the inn, walked a hundred and ten steps on the gradually deserted street, found a tavern at random, asked for a cup of tea, and sat under the shed to drink slowly.

The rough touch of the ceramic cup stimulated his skin, and his dark eyes stared at the wooden stool opposite, and it took a long time to show a little tiredness. For a moment he didn't want to go back to the capital, where he had lived for more than twenty years, and generations of heads of the family had already made a decision before he could get tired of the bustling city.

No matter how good the imperial capital is, it can't give a family the benefits, and no matter how big the Jingshi is, it can't compare to a family of hundreds. Businessmen are profit-heavy and have always been extremely selfish. The merchants who entered Beijing from the East China Sea with great fanfare in the past have evacuated from the north of the Qi country today, and the cause and effect, if the ancestors knew about it, probably would not be so thick.

There were a few bright red lanterns hanging on the wine shed, swaying like duckweed in the howling wind, and he couldn't help but think of those young people who rode horses and swaggered in the capital. At that time, the snow and the moon, the wind and the flowers in Beijing were all extremely gentle, but now that I think about it, I am too young after all.

Fanjing was a blade, not a place where he had always thought he could be placed.

The brown porcelain cup was steaming, and he gently pressed his fingers together, and he swept away the sparks as he saw a few children at the entrance of the alley lighting a cannon battle, and sparks flickering.

His eyes were slightly condensed, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, the snow-white fox fur was not stained with dust, and the simple shed was lined with a pile of waste wood in an instant.

This flawless jade-like person is not good to look at on the street.

Suddenly, metal pierced the air sharply, and with a "thud", it was firmly nailed to the wooden pillar around his neck.

He picked up the bowl and took a small sip, then stood up unhurriedly and removed the note from the arrow.

The loud sound of firecrackers exploded in the alley, and the surrounding residents stuck their heads out of the windows, and several children laughed and scattered, leaving red confetti all over the floor.

It's the New Year.

Nanshan is not far from the village, and the rugged coachman wants to make more business after this trip, and the whip is whistling. The wheels rolled over the gravel on the muddy ground, and Su Hui felt that he didn't have to ride in the car for three days in a row.

Lin Qizhi was also a little struggling to be turned upside down, propped his arms on the seat, and restarted the topic: "Master Su, what's wrong with that patient?"

Su Hui warmed up and kept in the way, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, you just need to know that you can find someone to deliver the medicine, and pull the person back from the ghost gate, and then you can't ask it?" I think there is a problem with the medicine, and the pulse and the sores on his abdomen don't quite match, in short, it's just strange." ”

She sighed, "Speaking of which, I don't have much experience, so it makes sense that I fell into a ditch and encountered poisonous grass seeds." ”

Lin Qizhi first went to the kitchen to look at the soup boiled on the stove, and he had a lot of opinions about the amount of defeated sauce grass, and as soon as she explained, she couldn't decide:

"Then let's just leave, we won't ......"

"What if you don't leave. Su Huihui said angrily, "Who will go back to inform the pharmacy? Don't forget that there is dinner in the evening." ”

Lin Qizhi was bored, his stomach rattled, and he urged through the curtain: "Hurry up, we haven't eaten lunch, and we're hungry at this moment!"

The coachman should have been, Su Huihui also felt weak and stomach acid surged, took out the water bladder and just took a sip, the carriage shook violently, and she almost choked on the hard wood.

Lin Qizhi was no better, he barely pulled his crooked clothes, and shouted angrily outside: "What's the matter?

The cold wind poured in from the linen curtain, and Su warmed up an agitated spirit, pulling his sleeve, and a bad premonition was like a black cloud pressing down.

Lin Qizhi stopped suddenly, the whole person froze for a moment, and slowly opened the curtain, before this action was completed, the car leaned forward suddenly, and the neighing of the horses echoed on the mountain road for a long time.

The car fell to the ground, he seemed to be frozen, his body was tense, and it was blocking Su Huihui's view of looking out.

When the first arrow broke through the air and suddenly struck, she subconsciously held the medicine box in front of her head, shrank back in her seat and took a breath, lowered her body and said quickly:

"Get down!"

Su Hui Hui didn't have time to care about him, holding his head and hiding under his feet, through a thin layer of wood, there seemed to be several sharp arrows flying outside, scraping the car wall, she suddenly felt that it was not safe in the corner, maybe which arrow would break through the wall and give her a pair of piercing!

"Doctor Lin!" she raised her eyes and saw that Lin Qizhi was still there, and she wanted to kick him out, "What are you doing?

The whistle sounded, and the arrows stopped. The person who released the arrows did not know what he was doing, and this small rain of arrows was just a temptation, and did not shoot into the car from the front. Su Huihui's heart jumped to his throat, are there still mountain bandits here on the 29th of the lunar month? Or are they killers sent by other organizations? If they are the members of the bandits, do they deliberately leave hostages to slaughter them before robbing money? Is it possible that the killers will also be caught alive? They are not too old, this is too dedicated!

The rain for three consecutive days made the ground potholed, and the frightened old horse desperately tried to pull the wheels out of the cracks in the stones, and the rope was stretched several times to break, Su Huihui imagined several possibilities in the shaky narrow space, and did not dare to speak, put his hand into the medicine box and followed a few pocket medicine bottles, and stayed where he was.

The surroundings were strangely quiet, and the cold wind could be faintly heard swirling in the valley. Her mind turned quickly, no matter what the identity of the people outside, it was definitely not easy to get along, she didn't shoot or take a big knife into battle at the beginning, she must have to check what was in the bag! Listening to the whistle just now seemed to be quite far away, so at this time, is there still a chance to run away from the horse?

She regretted a little that she had refused the herdsmen's kindness to teach her to ride horses on the grassland, but she thought that even if she could ride, she would not be willing to take this risk.

Lin Qizhi kept gritting his teeth, there was indeed no one within a hundred steps of him, but the arrow shot from the cliff in front of him, and there were many people in ambush there...... He's just an ordinary doctor, with no longevity and a very low status, and he doesn't want to be here with his life!

His face turned pale, and he turned back nervously, not meeting those eyes, and his heart couldn't help but rejoice for a moment.

Su Huihui waited for a long time and didn't hear a response, he was angry, and was just about to raise his head and speak again, but he pounced on him with lightning speed, and pulled down the medicine box she used as a shield on her head with a rough movement, which was not at all like the usual submissiveness.

She knew what he was going to do with a snap of her fingers.

The whistle sounded twice, Lin Qizhi trembled, trembled his hands, dug out the bloodshot hook knife from the cotton cloth, climbed back to the wheel, held the knife to lure the fairy, grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse's back, stabbed the horse with all his might, and the brown horse spread its hooves and rushed madly towards the mountain road.

He moved very quickly in a hurry, even if Su Huihui had no intention of stopping him, he was extremely disgusted with this kind of villain behavior in his heart, if she could go back, he would definitely let Wu Xin kick him out of the pharmacy! If he could escape, it would be fateful, but he didn't care about the ambush people, could he chase and kill him? Timid and reckless, he knew that he would not bring anyone to help!

Fallen leaves slid off the roof of the car, Su Huihui first stuffed the only hairpin on his head into his arms, and laboriously climbed out of the car that landed on the side, with several dry leaves on his head. Fortunately, the winter clothes were thick, and it didn't hurt to rub a few feet on the stones, and now she was alone, unless the group of people who released the cold arrows all ran after a worthless doctor, she could still fly away with her wings - the opposite is true, the other party is in her normal mind, and she has no wings.

Su Huihui stood up patting the weeds and dust all over his body, coughed and gasped a few times while holding on to the stump, threw the money bag tied around his waist far away, and took off the handbag and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Barren mountains and mountains, the nearest village is only a two-pillar incense drive away, she was left hungry and left halfway, and a group of people were waiting in the dark.

I really can't carry it anymore.

Su Huihui looked around and saw the coachman lying in a pool of blood, with a thin arrow stuck high in his back, and found that he seemed to be too calm at the right time. People who are accustomed to protection will lack a kind of tension in the face of danger, and naturally lack the conditions to be wise in a hurry, and she feels that one day she will be planted on such a fatal chronic child.

She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and several black figures swept down the cliff like birds, and galloped at a very fast speed with the light of the knife.

The Assassins came quickly.

Su Huihui leaned his back against the wheel, staring at the man in black who was gradually approaching, his mind had gone through the terrain, and his heart was numb. At the end of the mountain road, screams and horses erupted, her pupils shrunk, and the bottle in her hand almost shattered.

Is Lin Qizhi, who fled half a cup of tea, still alive? After all, he is an acquaintance she has worked with for several months, and if this group of people is coming for her, then he who was called by himself is really innocent!

The three black-clothed men were close in front of them, all dressed as mountain bandits.

She threw out the silver knife she had found temporarily, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want money or do you want the Great Qi Tai Hospital to sentence this person?"

The leader was fierce and vicious, quite like a robber leader, with a huge black mole on the side of his nose, squinting at the mung bean eyes and slowly raising the knife.

Su Hui warmed up and said: "The silver is all in the money bag, under the tree over there." ”

A cold light flashed in the leader's eyes, and the two people on the left and right stepped forward with knives and began to search his body expressionlessly. Su Huihui endured the churning stomach acid, and stood there without saying a word, filling the wooden stake, his brown eyes coldly reflecting the faces of the three of them.

One person shook his head, the leader made a gesture of taking away, and the other person had to be ordered to go to the root of the tree and pick up her money bag, Su Huihui saw that even if he relaxed a lot, he didn't dare to take it lightly - it should be a real mountain bandit, but it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't take her away as a hostage if they took the money!

She cautiously spoke, "You are ......"

The leader's eyes rolled, and the shiny knife fell to the side of her neck, and the cold touch made her shiver, and she couldn't calm down.

The thief-eyed mountain bandit under his hand spoke a few words in the local language, but Su Huihui couldn't understand a word, only to see the hesitation in the leader's eyes disappear, and the ice-like killing intent suddenly burst out in the air. Her whole body stiffened and she couldn't move, and her eardrums throbbed so violently that her eyes blackened.

She doesn't want to die yet, there are still many people she hasn't seen, and there are so many things she hasn't done!

The vial in her hand popped open the lid, and the strong pungent smell suddenly filled the air, and she saw the sword light for the last time, and then she didn't know anything.

Several robbers hobbled to the stone and quickly covered their mouths and noses, but they were still one step too slow. The man who had spoken before had fallen to the ground unconscious, and the muscles on the leader's face twitched for a long time, and he was about to slash down with great strength to kill him, but at this moment, a rapid whistle rose from the cliff.

He looked back, and several round heads fell straight down the cliff like gravel, and fell to the mud ground, red, white, and white in chaos.

"Boss! Yes...... It's the brothers who are guarding in the back!

"Fuck it!"

The leader scolded, and immediately took the hostage and ran in the opposite direction of the mountain road, and the other carried his accomplices and followed closely, and dozens of arrows behind him shot fiercely with the power of thunder, and there was a great tendency to catch turtles in the urn. The leader grinned, remembering the rules he had agreed with the people before, and slammed his fist on the mountain rock, his eyes gloomy.

A few arrows flew, he twisted his waist disapprovingly, the five big and three thick men were surprisingly flexible, three or four arrows were shot in the air, and when he was proud, he heard his subordinates exclaiming, turned around to block a light fluttering arrow, and swept behind him contemptuously, but his expression was suddenly solemn.

The subordinate carrying his companion was pierced through the rock by an arrow, and a large bloody hole was exposed in his shoulder, but he was not injured. He was born in Orion, and he has been walking in the mountains and forests for many years, and he is also an expert in using arrows, and his strength is accurate, and he can see at a glance that the enemy that emerges from behind his back is not simple!

He was busy turning his mind around when he suddenly felt a chill in his thighs, and looked down to see an arrow piercing through the flesh. The severe pain made him care about the hostage in his hand, and when he wanted to put it on his back as a shield, another arrow flew at him, and he let go of his hand "ah", and his feet slipped and fell heavily into the grass.

However, even if he fell, he couldn't let go of his hand, because the arrow penetrated through the muscles and bones, and it would hurt to move his arm for the slightest bit. The leader was hit by two arrows in his body, neither of which was fatal, and probably knew the intention of the archer, so he hurriedly threw the knife away, lay on the ground and no longer fled, and even felt that the unconscious hostages lying on the ground were a little terrible.

I should have asked when I took over this business before!

On the cliff, Yan Xugui collected the crude bow and arrows he had collected, and looked at it from a distance for a while before slowly returning to the shadows under the trees.

Chang Suiyu reported: "Master Su is okay for the time being, why doesn't Gongzi chase the person behind the scenes?"

He tightened the collar of the fox fur, and his voice could not hear any emotion, and it looked unprovoked cold in the wind:

"It's okay, I'm afraid that even if we catch up, we won't go back to the city smoothly. ”
