Bai Mantang looked at the people around him, and then looked up at the sky, only to see that on the western canopy, the thick and colorful slanting sun was sinking into the top of the mountain little by little;

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the tired bird dragged its tired body back to its nest;

The breeze, wrapped in the smell of green grass peculiar to the mountains, blew from a distance, and passed them without pause, and hurried farther away;

The earth receded from the heat of the day and began to cool down little by little. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He picked up a stone that had not yet dissipated and sat down, no wonder there were rumors in the team, seeing that the sun was about to go down, and the people who went out had not yet returned, it was inevitable that it was a little bottomless.

However, he has been in business for so many years, even if he has not traveled thousands of miles, he can be regarded as reading countless people, the sincerity in the young man's eyebrows and the frankness in his eyes are not like the kind of person who deceives people.

Although they had known each other for less than ten minutes, his keen gaze did not detect even the slightest hint of cunning in the young man's face.

Then believe him once for the time being, and think of other ways if you can't do it. At the moment, there really is no other way to think of it.

"Everyone, don't talk about it, just wait." He commanded in the tone of the supreme leader of a caravan.

The chatter grew quieter, but a dark cloud hung over everyone's faces.

Just as people were immersed in confusion and confusion, suddenly someone shouted, "Look, they're back." ”

The discussion ceased abruptly, and then the eyes of the people began to search everywhere, and when a few men covered with artemisia grass and joy in their eyes stood before them, they knew that hope had once again come to them.

"Finally found it." The young man was a little excited and brandished the Aomine Sword in his hand, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"That road is really hard to find, if it weren't for that boy who went to catch pheasants and accidentally discovered the mountain road hidden behind the rocks, I'm afraid we wouldn't have come back by now." One of the soldiers spoke excitedly.

"What, what? At this juncture, are you still in the mood to catch pheasants? Bai Mantang couldn't cry or laugh, thinking to himself, after all, he is still a child, and this playful heart can be seen everywhere. However, since you have found a way to save your life, let's hurry up and let everyone get on the road early, it seems that it is an inn that can't reach the border before dark. But it's better to arrive a little later than to stay in this hellish place.

"Everyone packed up and got ready to cross the mountain." Bai Mantang shouted as he tore open his throat. "Also, I must emphasize that this road has not been walked for a long time, and the dangers along the way can be imagined."

"You must be vigilant, take your weapons, protect yourself and your cargo, and try to avoid speaking loudly. If the team is broken up in any situation, call for help in bird language. ”

"Now everyone has something to eat, and we'll leave in twenty minutes." After Bai Mantang finished speaking, he turned to the servant just now and said, "Prepare food and water for this young master, I think he must be hungry now." ”

Qing Xuan thought to himself, even if you have a conscience, if you don't give me food and drink, my internal organs will have to make trouble......

Twenty minutes later

Qing Xuan rode a horse and walked side by side with Bai Mantang in front, and the team carrying the goods followed closely behind.

Everyone followed one another, silently moving forward.

Needless to say, the potholes and uneven mountain roads alone are enough to make people worry, plus the mountains are wooded and the sun has set, making the already dark woods even darker.

Everyone walked deep and shallow, and encountered that treacherous place, with a cliff on one side and an abyss on the other, and if you were not careful, you would fall down and fall to pieces.

It was really dangerous to walk this mountain road in the dark, and Bai Mantang had to order the team to light the torches, which were wrapped in pine oil and crackled in the air, and the smoke was wrapped in the scent of pine and spread in the wilderness and forest.

In the trees, the frightened birds flapped their wings and flew from here deep into the woods.

In the dark corner, a pair of bright eyes watched the huge team.

The team moved forward in silence, hearing each other's heartbeats and footsteps, and the occasional birdsong, and the world was as quiet as a grave.

Suddenly, a beast rushed into the ranks. It has white markings, a tail like a whip, and a face like a cat, and a large "king" on its forehead.

It only heard its long roar, and its eyes like brass bells swooped down on a horse carrying goods.

The horses were frightened and immediately scattered and fled, although everyone was always on guard against accidents, but when the tiger suddenly came and was about to plunder its prey indiscriminately, especially when the frightened horses no longer obeyed their commands, this really surprised everyone, including Bai Mantang.

"Quick, grab the reins, don't let those horses run away." After Bai Mantang reacted, he immediately issued an order.

And the accompanying warriors had already jumped up in front of the white tiger before he gave the order, and they were armed with weapons in their hands, and they confronted each other with the tiger.

The tiger was reluctant to say to the boss: "Lao Tzu has been hungry for several days, this time there is finally prey sent to the door by himself, why don't you let Lao Tzu eat, do you want to watch Lao Tzu starve to death?" ”

"Well, since you humans are so conscienceless, then don't blame me for not being affectionate and can't eat horse meat, so I can taste human flesh."

"Hehe, boy, let the horse come, who's afraid of whom." Thinking to himself, the tiger put on a fighting stance.

A young man in his twenties was in a stalemate, and he went up with a golden-backed machete and slashed.

The tiger jumped and dodged, then turned around and swept it with his tail, and the warrior could not dodge, and the tiger's steel whip-like tail swept over his shoulder, and a bloody purlin immediately appeared on his shoulder.

"Ah," the young man screamed, and ducked aside. When everyone looked at each other, they looked at each other, and the rest of the people waited together to cut down the tiger with sharp weapons.

When this uninvited guest attacked the team, Qing Xuan was walking in front of the group, holding a torch and leading the way for the team while keeping an eye on the surrounding terrain.

When he heard that a tiger was coming, he turned his horse's head and was about to pass. was immediately stopped by Bai Mantang, and he was not allowed to pass no matter what.

"Sir, I'd better go over and have a look."

"There are so many brave warriors there, you don't have to go there. To deal with just one tiger, a few of them are enough.

We're going to wait here, and when we kill the tiger, we'll have to get the scattered horses back." Hopefully they didn't go far. ”

The human tiger fought for dozens of rounds, and both sides were exhausted.

The tiger saw that the other party was outnumbered, and his own strength was weak, even if he fought hard, he couldn't take any advantage, and if he didn't get it, he would take his life, so it was better to go for the plan.

Continue to add more in the evening.
