Chapter 53 Longtan Tiger's Lair

The grass movement is slightly larger, attracting the nearby bandits to see, but the cold wind is cold, the grass is rippling, and there is a sound of rustling everywhere, and there are many bandits, and they will not be named when they go down the mountain to rob, so until the team returns to the village, no one finds that they have lost people.

Shen Laibao waited for the thieves to leave, and then dragged the fool to the bottom, tied his hands and feet with ropes, and twisted them so firmly that even if his hands could be reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, he would not be able to break free from the knot. This set of knotting techniques is taught by veterans who come to the school for training, not to mention tying people, even tying tigers is practical.

The plate looked at him with a nimble hand, frowned and asked, "Are you a hunter?" ”

Shen Laibao said with a smile, "Your brother Bao is an immortal." ”

...... "He really didn't want to talk to him anymore."

Shen Laibao tied him up, and patted the plate on the shoulder, "You go up and lie on your stomach to watch the wind, if a thief turns back, call me." ”

The plate immediately climbed up, lay down on the haystack and looked at it, and picked up the grass around him, and covered himself with tall grass. Shen Laibao took a look, although he was arrogant, he was still very careful and bold in his work.

When everything was ready, he went to pinch the unconscious fool.

It was a good idea to pinch people, and in a moment the thieves woke up with a glare, gasping for air as if fleeing from a nightmare. When he saw Shen Laibao and realized that he had been tied strongly, he was immediately frightened, and before he could scream, a sharp knife was against his neck.

Shen Laibao smiled, "Do you want to live?" ”

The thief swallowed with difficulty, and saw that he was just a teenager and his figure was not strong, so he turned to glare, "Your knife is leisurely, don't hurt me." If you kill me, our boss won't let you go. I'm from Huya Village! ”

Shen Laibao's face changed, and he threw the dagger in his face, so that the thief almost didn't roll his eyes and fainted again, "You say it again." ”

"I ......"

"Huh?"

The thief suddenly cried, "Young man, spare your life!" ”

Shen Laibao poked his forehead with the handle of the knife, "Tell me honestly, how many people are there in Huya Village, what is the terrain, what is the situation, and how many masters are there." I have already caught one of your accomplices yesterday, and if what you say is not in the slightest match with what he said, I will cut off a finger of any of you when I find out that any of you lied. ”

The thief sobbed and looked at him, refusing to speak. It wasn't until Shen Laibao threw a knife in his face again that he opened his mouth tremblingly.

The plate lay on top for a long time, half ear to the top, half ear to the bottom. He looked at Shen Laibao from time to time, and felt that this person was upright, but he did things like a ruffian and a hooligan, and he was not a righteous man and a gentleman at all. Where can a gentleman be so threatening, incredible.

"Plates."

He came back to his senses and slipped down, "What are you doing?" ”

Shen Laibao tore off the thief's clothes hissedly, crumpled them into a ball and stuffed them into his mouth, and tied him into the thorns, so that he would be punished by needles if he moved slightly, and he was not afraid of him running. After doing this, he took out another dagger from his body and put it in his hand, "You guard him." ”

"Hmm." The plate clenched the dagger, and when he saw that he was going up, he immediately pulled him down, "You arrested someone not only to ask him about the dog's tooth, but also to trap me, you go alone?" ”

Shen Laibao said, "Of course not. ”

The plate sneered.

Shen Laibao, who was seen through at a glance, had no choice but to say, "Good, wait for me here, it's too dangerous there." ”

"Then can I help if I go, if I become a drag, I'll watch people here."

"I can't."

"You're lying."

"......" Shen Laibao suddenly realized that it was not that his acting skills were not good enough, but that he was adamant that he would not take him at all, so even if he became Oscar Noble, it was useless, "It's dangerous." ”

"I know."

Shen Laibao was on a high place, looking at the little boy standing there looking up at him, and was silent for a long time before stretching out his hand, "Let's go." ”

The plate glanced at him and walked straight up.

“…… You really aren't cute at all on the plate. ”

"Don't call me plates."

"What about buns?"

The plate bared his teeth at him, almost cursing.

was just deliberately teased by him, and his nervous heart seemed to calm down a lot. Climb up the mountain trail quickly, and the one under your feet slips and almost rolls off. Fortunately, Shen Laibao grabbed him and was patted on the head again, "Plate, you be careful." ”

The plate was silent for a long time before he raised his eyes to look at him, "Can you really rescue my grandfather?" ”

Shen Laibao lowered his eyebrows and said steadily, "Hmm." ”

Every step of the way, you can't go wrong. He wants to rescue his father, rescue the Shen family, and the little boy's grandfather.

&&&&&

Huya Village is located in the valley, built on the mountainside, there are boulders along the way, people walk in the valley, like ants, as long as the people above are ambushed, it is not easy to pass from here.

Typical easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack terrain.

Shen Laibao and the plate entered the valley and looked up, and as soon as the night fell, the snow piled up on the rocks reflected the white light, and they could see it even more clearly.

The two did not go to the main road, fearing that someone would guard it, so they walked instead from the remote path in the back mountain.

It is a harsh winter, the poisonous snake has hibernated, and there are generally no poisonous insects, which is safer than walking this road on a hot summer night. Shen Laibao occasionally cut off the thorns that blocked the road with a dagger, and sometimes looked behind to confirm that the plate was still there.

His steps were not slow, and the plate could follow closely behind, and I could see that his face and hands were scratched, and I could not see him cry out in pain.

When he was almost halfway up the mountain, he could see the firelight in the distance, so Shen Laibao slowed down and lightened his steps, his body bent slightly, "It should be almost to the village." ”

The plate was short, didn't bend over, and was about the same height as him, "What next?" ”

Shen Laibao didn't answer, and continued to walk forward, and the plate followed patiently. Until he saw the stockade, he didn't stop, and he couldn't help but make the plate frightened. Looking up, there was clearly a guard on the high platform where the stockade looked at the wind.

But he was not afraid at all, and squatted on the ground holding the branch he had just broken. As soon as the guard turned around, he took a small step forward. As soon as the guard turned this way, he stopped again, like a rabbit.

What's even worse is that I have to pretend to be a rabbit with him!

Shen Laibao cautiously walked outside the high wall made of tall wood and lay on his stomach. The plate was also backed by Takagi, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the voice was as thin as a mosquito's wings, "What now?" ”

Shen Laibao's eyes were crooked, "Look at the front of us, there are so many hay and dry branches, just order some for them to roast the village." ”

The plate looked at him suspiciously, "You want to set fire to the mountain?" Once the wildfire is lit, your father and my grandfather, who are still tied up in the stockade, will be affected. ”

"The bandit is not stupid, look at your feet, what is the difference between it and two feet in front of you."

The plate looked down and looked at it for a while before he realized that the snow two feet away was different from the snow under his feet. Under the snow two feet away, there is dry grass exposed, and leaves can be seen. But there was no snow under his feet, and the snow was not thick. He lifted his foot and used his shoes to puff up the snow, and he understood by lifting seven or eight inches of ground.

"The grass here has been bulldozed."

"The technical word is fire barrier." Shen Laibao looked under the tall wood when he was squatting forward just now, "Even if there is fire around, it is difficult to cross the line." It seems that the bandits have lived in the mountains for a long time, otherwise they would not know so much about the mountains. ”

"Then how do you know, oh, you're really an Orion."

"It's mentioned in the book."

"Which book?"

Shen Laibao looked at him, "Five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation." ”

"What the hell is this?"

How can a little kid who has not received hellish training on the eve of the college entrance examination know that Shen Laibao patted him on the head, "You still don't want to know well, cherish your childhood." ”

The plate slapped his hand away, "So what the hell is going to do now?" ”

Because they always spoke in their voices, their voices were a little hoarse. Shen Laibao was still not in a hurry, and when he saw that the moon was already shining, he said, "Wait, wait, when they fall asleep, you will set fire here, and I will take the opportunity to sneak into the cottage and find the prison." ”

"Do you really believe the bandit?"

"Hmm."

"Why?"

"Because he looks scared of death." Shen Laibao sued him at the beginning that he had also arrested another person, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would cut off his fingers. And this kind of person who only seeks money is willing to give his life to his accomplices, and he is generally afraid to give it all up. And from what he knew now, the bandit wasn't lying, and he wasn't even right about how high the tall wooden fence was.

The plate didn't know the deep meaning, and thought that he was really judging by the face of a person, so he chuckled lightly, hugged the padded jacket tightly and waited for the night.

Shen Laibao had a beacon tower above his head, but the two of them were close to the wooden wall, and the beacon tower was not placed on the wooden wall, and it was half a zhang apart, so even if they looked up and looked down, the place where they were standing was a blind spot.

"Plates, when you light a fire here, run away, don't make too much noise, don't let them catch it. When they heard that they were far away, they went down the mountain and waited for us. Shen Laibao was afraid that he would screw it again, so he said, "Your task is to light a fire in front of the door, and I will do the rest." ”

"How?"

"Give me a token of yours, a token that your grandfather and your guards recognize."

The plate thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then tore off the jade ring around his waist, "Don't break it, this is ...... My mother's relics. ”

Shen Laibao solemnly said hello and carefully put it in his arms. After a while, he said, "Why didn't you ask me the reason this time?" ”

Panzi clasped his hands to his chest, closed his eyes and muttered, "Although I don't think you are a gentleman, but your chess seems to be quite convincing, so I don't bother to ask." ”

It's not easy to make a tsundere boaster, Shen Laibao feels that the plate is a little twisted, and he can still judge clearly in front of right and wrong, so he won't do things according to his own preferences. He also hugged his chest like him, chatting with him like a brother, "Plate, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will also teach you a five-year college entrance examination and a three-year simulation, you are so smart, you must be able to learn happily like Xiaohua." ”

"Who's Flora?"

"My next-door neighbor's daughter." Shen Laibao thought of Hua Ling, and thought of the pickled plums she gave herself. It's sweet and sour, and a little salty, ah...... Thinking of it, she said, "Xiaohua is an optimistic and laughing little girl, by the way, the same age as you." ”

"Is she as smart as I am?"

Shen Laibao said leisurely, "Xiaohua is smarter than me, so do you think she is as smart as you?" ”

The plate glanced at it, but said nothing.

The two muttered and talked about the conversation, like the return of a tired bird in the mountains and forests, and the movement did not reach it.

After waiting for about an hour, Shen Laibao began to warm up, pulled the plate together to stretch his muscles, and after a while, he said, "Go and set the fire, be careful, I'll take a detour." ”

With that, he took off his padded jacket, revealing a plain and even somewhat dirty suit. At first, he didn't know why he went to the shop to buy old clothes, but now he knows that he wants to sneak into the bandits' den. He grabbed the branch and took two steps, then looked back at him, "You have to be careful, too. ”

Shen Laibao smiled, and walked away against the wall without looking back.

In just half a moment, I saw a fire in the distance. He watched the fire grow over there, and he didn't see the plate running away, and he didn't know if he had gone the other way.

The firelight was quickly discovered in the dark night, and the people on the high platform shouted below, and the quiet cottage suddenly boiled, and in a moment, more than ten people rushed out one after another to put out the fire.

Shen Laibao pretended to be relieved with his back, and when he saw everyone rushing over, he shivered and tied his pants, and walked while tying them, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

The night was unknown and the situation was in a hurry, and the man did not look closely at who it was, but when he saw that he was dressed like a person from the stockade, he said, "The water is gone, and we must hurry to put out the fire." ”

Shen Laibao was suddenly shocked, "I'll go back and carry the bucket!" ”

"Go."

Shen Laibao pulled his legs and ran to the gate of the cottage, shouting as he ran, "It's water, it's water, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

Hearing that the water was gone, people from the cottage went out one after another, Shen Laibao ran inside while shouting, deeply impressed by his acting skills, he hadn't messed with Xiaohua in vain all these years!

Even if he had simulated what the stupid thief said in his mind hundreds of times, what he had heard was not as good as seeing it with his own eyes, so Shen Laibao still stumbled a little. can only use the natural pause to guide the way to the fire, and act all the way, and finally reach the next destination.

- Granary.

It's not terrible to have a fire in the backyard, but it's terrible to have a fire in the granary. The granary is said to be a warehouse next door, which is a very, very terrible thing for a bandit.

Taking it out of chaos is one of the twelve tricky methods proposed by Sun Tzu, Shen Laibao never cares whether the method is despicable or not, as long as it does not harm others and works, there is nothing that cannot be used.

He took out a handful of hay from his sleeve, lit it with a fire breaker, and set it at the gate.

"Hey! What are you doing? ”

A sharp sound sounded behind him, and he paused, and when he turned his head, two men walked out of the warehouse, holding long guns.

Shen Laibao asked, "Just the two of you?" ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"It looks like it's just the two of you." Shen Laibao took two steps forward suddenly, held the opponent's wooden gun with his left and right hands, and pulled it back hard.

The two of them were unexpected, and their bodies staggered forward. Before I could see it clearly, I saw a fist fly and hit him the kidney. The two of them had weak legs, and their eyes were as black as ink splashing their eyes, and they fainted.

Shen Laibao poked the two of them with a long gun, and he was really dizzy. Then he went to the door of the granary, threw the wooden gun into it, and burned it as firewood. At this moment, the fire had started, and as soon as the cold wind blew, the fire jumped up the wooden door almost instantly, and burned crackling.

Shen Laibao immediately went to close the courtyard door and climbed out of the wall by himself.

It seems that the fire in the back mountain has alarmed the people in the village just now, and the number of people walking in the village has increased significantly at this time. Shen Laibao ran around with a shouting and drinking like them, taking advantage of the chaos.

When he got to a carriage, he suddenly turned around and went into the back, which led to the stone prison, but the road didn't seem to work, it was too narrow.

But now the direction of going to the front of the prison is really eye-catching, and it is easy for people to notice that something is wrong if it is too long.

Who designed the aisle of the house, it is not easy to breed bacteria if it is not ventilated and can not pass people, and it is not easy to breed bacteria when it is moved to the left for ventilation and lighting!

While complaining to the person who built the house, Shen Laibao held the back foot of the house against the crack in the wall that was only half an arm's width from the house, and the wall crack under his feet was only a palm wide, so he could only walk on it.

With this alone, he decided that he would never become fat in the future, and that he would be fit all his life, and it would be easier for him to escape.

After a long time of walking on all fours, and gradually the pain came, Shen Laibao remembered that he had rolled down the hillside, and he hadn't looked at his injuries seriously. Now that it hurts so much, it must have hurt my bones.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and his face turned pale, and when he crossed the crack in the half-human-high wall and returned to the ground, he felt his legs tremble. He leaned against the wall for a while, relieved of the pain a little, and ran in the direction of the prison.

Seeing that there were torches and garrisons over there, he was glad that he hadn't looked away, and had taken a fancy to a thief who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and the information he confided was simply accurate.

"The water is gone, the warehouse granary is water!"

Shen Laibao shouted and ran over, and the person guarding was nervous, "How big is the fire, has anyone gone to put out the fire?" I just saw a fire in the back mountain, is someone making trouble? ”

"I don't know, Daddy Bear asked me to call you, I have to go to the warehouse to put out the fire, otherwise the boss will have to chop me up."

The four of them looked at each other, who is Daddy Bear? They hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to follow or not, and suddenly they heard the young man shouting, "The fire is big again, and all the money is going to be burned, how can we survive this winter?" ”

Hearing that there was no money to eat, several people picked up the bucket and ran outside.

Shen Laibao, who was hidden behind the horses outside the courtyard, waited for the four to leave, and immediately came out and ran to the prison. This look was dumbfounded, he thought that this trapped people was a wooden door, only the lock was iron, so he deliberately used it as a thing on his body, and most of the money was used to buy this dagger that can sharpen iron, who would have thought that the whole door was iron, and the lock was still fine iron!

He had no choice but to take the dagger and "gurgle" twice, but it didn't break, but the dagger was missing two teeth.

"Noble? Is Noble you? ”

Shen Laibao's heart beat almost instantly, like a person who has come back from the dead, it was his father's voice. He had never felt his voice so kind, "Daddy? ”

The voice inside suddenly cried, and instantly turned into angry scolding, "What are you doing here, why don't you run home, why are you coming to the thief's den?" ”

"Save you." Shen Laibao replied calmly, thinking about how to open this door, "It's strange, that fool obviously said that this is an ordinary lock for a wooden door, how can the dagger keep chopping." ”

“…… Noble ...... It's my father's fault, after they found out who your father was, they immediately changed the locks, saying that they caught a big fat sheep and couldn't let me run away. ”

Shen Laibao's face is full of black lines, Dad, you are worthy of being a little expert in the pit! This character doesn't collapse!

Father Shen wanted to cry without tears, "Noble, run away." ”

Of course, Shen Laibao couldn't listen, and took the dagger to "cluck" and chop, and as a result, he knocked out seven more dog teeth. He knocked and said, "Is there a plate of grandfather in it?" ”

There was no one to answer, and just as he wondered if his grandfather was not there, an old man suddenly said, "I am." ”

"That's good, he's fine, now he's waiting for you to go home at the bottom of the mountain."

The old man said unexpectedly, "Now at the bottom of the mountain?" That's just on the mountain? ”

"Yes, I didn't allow him to take risks, but he wanted to come with him, saying that he wanted to save you from the mountain."

The old man was silent for a long time and did not answer.

Shen Laibao confirmed that his grandfather was there, and he felt a little relieved, at least he was safe. He wrung his eyebrows and pondered, and suddenly thought of the horse tied to the outside of the yard, and immediately took off his belt, tied it to three iron posts, and tied it firmly with ropes. Then he ran and led four horses, tied ropes around them, and then slapped the horses' backs.

The force of the blow on the body was not small, and the horse was frightened and ran forward, dragging the iron gate away almost instantly. With a bang, he left with the horse, but the courtyard gate was too small to pass through together, so he stopped when he ran to the wall gate, and spun around in the courtyard uneasily.

Shen Laibao didn't wait for the dust to stop, he walked inside, walked seven or eight steps, and saw the real prison, fortunately, this door was a wooden door, and the lock was just ordinary iron, and he was cut off five times with a dog-toothed dagger.

Father Shen always stood at the door and looked at him, looking sadly at the wounds on his son's face and hands, there were so many things that could be seen, and the places he didn't see were only afraid of more. He never dreamed that his son would come to save him, and once upon a time, his son, who always smirked at him, had become a man who stood up to the sky and took responsibility.

Shen Laibao looked at the people in the prison, not to mention that there were fifty or sixty people. It's just a very wide cave, with a large hinterland but a small exit, and it's really a good place to be a cage.

As soon as the lock was opened, the people inside were about to rush out, but they were stopped by Shen Laibao Suse, "Most of you are injured, even if there are many people, they can't compete with the bandits with weapons outside, if you rush out, you will only be beaten back to the dungeon." ”

"And what do you think it should be?"

The voice was like a plate grandfather, Shen Laibao looked at it, it was really an old man. The old man had a little blood on his clothes, but his expression was majestic, his beard was white, but he didn't have the slightest bit of decadence, and he was even more energetic than the haggard middle-aged young man here. He said, "Even if you can't lure the king to capture the thief, it will weaken the power of the bandits." ”

Grandpa Plate asked, "How to weaken?" ”

"Please enter the urn!"
