As the appointed day approaches, the speed of the dart team is getting faster and faster, and they are nervous all the way, as long as the goods are delivered, they can relax and take a short rest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old dart master planned to rush to Changdang Lake tomorrow, so the dart team could only rush overnight and rush towards Changdang Lake.

The speed of the night rush can not be too fast, because the probability of accidents at night is the greatest, as long as you arrive at Changdang Lake tomorrow, it is already considered to be the boundary of the Autumn Cold Villa, and no one dares to come to grab the goods at that time.

Therefore, this night is particularly important, the old dart master walked around the team, so that everyone cheered up, as long as today, their mission will be completed.

After walking around, the old dart master suddenly remembered a person, and after thinking about it, he didn't see Fan Xiaochai's figure, so he asked, "Qing'an, have you seen Fan Xiaochai?" ”

Wang Qing'an, who was originally a little sleepy, immediately became energetic, his eyes widened, and he said in a crisp voice: "No, but she always follows behind the team, saying that she is afraid of any danger." ”

The old dart master nodded, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a wail from the front of the group.

The wailing was not called out by people, but by the horses pulling the goods, and when the old dart master heard the wailing, his heart shook violently, and he immediately became vigilant.

"Qing'an, you come with me to see what's going on in front of you." The old dart master said hurriedly.

Looking at the figure of the old dart master leaving in a hurry, Wang Qing'an paused, quickly jumped down from the carriage, and chased towards the front of the team.

It was past the wee hours of the morning, the most tired and the most lax time of the day, and only the torches were lit in the night, and the faint light looked like ghosts in the wilderness from a distance.

"What's wrong?"

Before the old dart master could reach the front of the group, he opened his throat and shouted.

Hearing the old man's inquiry, someone in the darkness immediately replied: "The horse is not leaving, I don't know who removed the horseshoe." ”

"Captain, come and see, this horse's hooves have already been ground out of blood, no wonder it's not gone."

The old dart master's heart tightened suddenly, and he raised his head to look at a person.

A middle-aged man standing on the side saw the old dart master's reproachful eyes, and immediately spoke: "Dart chief, don't you know me yet?" I checked before I left the station, and there was nothing wrong with it! ”

The old man waved his hand to signal the man not to get excited, but his brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Qing'an, inform everyone, let everyone from now on, immediately enter the highest alert state." The old dart master turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and continued: "I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but after all, the matter is up to you, and now there is a chance to make up for it, you hurry up and get rid of the horses in the team, we are in a hurry overnight, and this place cannot be stayed." ”

Wang Qingan nodded, turned around and just wanted to leave to pass on the news, when he heard a shout from the back of the team.

"Dart chief, there is a situation, come and take a look!"

The old dart master involuntarily put his hand closest to the saber, and then hurried towards the back of the group.

"What are you arguing about?!" The old dart master lowered his voice and shouted, "Have you forgotten what you were taught on weekdays? Don't panic, don't panic! One by one, what the hell is going on? ”

A man of a somewhat junior grade stood up and said, "Captain, these horses are all strained, and they can't walk at all." ”

Without waiting for the old dart master to say anything, the middle-aged man from before immediately walked up to the horse and squatted down.

"How?" The old dart master asked.

"Dart chief, it's Croton." The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Someone is poisoning." ”

Wang Qing'an narrowed his eyes and said, "No, it's not poisoning, if they do, I'm afraid these horses won't survive for a long time, all they want to do is let us stay here." ”

"Not good!" The old dart master said, "Get someone to check the hydration bag!" Just go! ”

The people around them immediately began to rummage through the water bags, but what they didn't expect was that at some point, their water bags were all broken, and there was not a drop of water in them.

Wang Qingan frowned, thinking about what the old dart master had discovered, so he became so flustered.

"Listen, everybody, now gather all the goods together," said the old dart master to the opening below, "and everyone do not walk back and forth, and try to breathe as little as possible." ”

After receiving the order of the old dart master, although most people did not know what the old dart master's intentions were, they still got busy.

Wang Qing'an followed the old dart master, and when he saw that he had a little free, he asked softly, "Dart chief, what happened?" ”

The old dart master raised his head, looked into the dense forest in the distance, and replied, "Qing'an, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Wang Qing'an didn't know what the old dart master meant, so he could only reply: "This place is close to Changdang Lake, it should be regarded as the junction of Yuzhou and Jizhou, the place where the three don't care, right?" ”

"Ahh

The old dart master let out a long sigh and said, "That's right, look at the woods in the distance—"

Wang Qing'an looked at the old dart master's direction, in front of them was a large dense forest, that was originally the direction they were going to, behind the dense forest was Changdang Lake, and when they arrived at Changdang Lake, there were residents, they were basically safe, the old dart master's original idea Wang Qingan also understood, but what he couldn't figure out now was why he had to stop now.

Although the horses could not move forward, with the help of these people, they could carry the goods on their backs, and besides, the horse incident obviously showed that someone was working on the idea of the goods, and if they stayed here now, wouldn't it give those people a chance to take advantage of?

"If I hadn't walked this road in my early years, I wouldn't have known the secrets of that forest." The old dart master said, "The forest we are in now is not very dense, and when you get to the dense forest in front, you will find that the forest is full of miasma. ”

"Miasma?" Wang Qingan frowned.

The old dart master's expression was a little solemn, he seemed to be recalling something, and after a long time he slowly spoke: "Many years ago, I was just a hairy boy, it was my first time to dart, but I didn't expect that something happened the first time, the entire dart team except me all died, and the escorted goods were also robbed. ”

Wang Qing'an's eyes widened, and he quietly listened to the old dart master's narration.

"I always feel that ah, although so many years have passed, but my brothers still haven't left, they are waiting for me in front, in the dense forest in front, I can't come, they won't close their eyes."
