People who can live in a harsh environment must not be ordinary people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jinghu is a place where killing people does not pay for their lives, so some people stay away, and some people come here with bad intentions.

Zhan Kaijiao led the way with Zha Tiankuo on his back, and Li En helped Xue Tao to follow behind, although the speed was not fast, the people behind did not catch up.

When they climbed a mountain range, Zhan Kaijiao immediately ordered them to stop and find a place to hide. Seeing three strong men drinking around the bonfire next to the puddle in front of him, Zha Tiankuo asked in a low voice, "Who are they?" How dare you eat and drink here? ”

Zhan Kaijiao replied in a low voice: "They are the masters here, mixed with Jianglong and his gang, these people first killed people in other places, were chased and killed by fellow people in the rivers and lakes, and fled here, a group of demons gathered here, even the imperial court can't do anything about them." ”

Li En asked, "Then don't you care about the alliance leader?" ”

Xue Tao said: "This is a special place, no one can manage it, and no one wants to take care of it." Unless the Shui family takes the lead, they will encircle and suppress them together. ”

Li En continued to ask: "Why did the Shui family take the lead in encircling and suppressing the mixed river dragon? ”

Zhan Kaijiao explained: "The Mixed River Dragon gang is the best at setting fire, and water overcomes fire, without water, you can't defeat the Mixed River Dragon, and this is the territory of the Shui people." ”

They were blocked by the gang of mixed Jianglong, so they had to find a hidden place to stop and rest, Xue Tao continued to apply crocodile oil to the burns, and Zha Tiankuo said: "This crocodile oil is quite effective in treating burns, I don't feel very painful." ”

Zhan Kaijiao said: "Let's wait for it to get dark, go around this gang of villains, and walk forward for forty or fifty miles, which is a small building in the middle of the lake, and we will go to Ruan's predecessors to avoid trouble first." ”

After dark, Zhan Kaijiao inquired about the news again, and saw these villains drunk and lying on the rocky beach and falling asleep, hurriedly signaling the brothers to follow, and when they crept past the puddle, a man suddenly sat up and shouted, "It's so hot, there are too many mosquitoes here!" ”

Another strong man said: "Soak in the water when it's hot, that's comfortable!" ”

The strong man immediately tore off his coat and jumped into the water, leaving a drum wrapped around the puddle.

Zha Tiankuo looked at the package and said in his heart: "I don't know what is in here?" ”

A strong man replied: "Early tomorrow morning, we will send this bag of money to the Shui family, the old alliance leader is hanging, and Elder Shui is in a hurry to use the money!" ”

"Elder Shui doesn't want to run for the position of alliance leader too, does he?"

"Of course, who can compare with Elder Shui?"

Cha Tiankuo pointed to the package, meaning to take this ill-gotten gain.

Zhan Kaijiao shook his head, this was tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, so he continued to hide, and waited for the gang to fall asleep before leaving.

But the villains seemed to be sober and chatted while soaking in the water.

Zha Tiankuo motioned to Li En to try to lure the group away, but Zhan Kaijiao gestured to stop him.

However, Li En was also anxious, put Xue Tao away, he quietly retreated, until he retreated to the mountain, and when he saw a stone, he turned it up vigorously and rolled down the mountain.

Sure enough, the sound of rolling stones attracted the attention of the group of people who immediately came out of the water, put on their coats, took the package, and spewed fire into the mountains.

Li En was frightened and fled after the mountain, and the nearby Zhan Kaijiao brothers also cried and lost their faces, if they were burned by the fire set by the mixed river dragon, it would be miserable.

A strong man with a knife with a bull's ear ran towards the place where the stone had fallen, and once again a flame erupted, and a spotted leopard screamed and jumped out from under the mountain and pounced on the comer.

The strong man's hand rose and fell, and the spotted leopard split in two, but his body was still twitching on the ground.

Li En secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and heard this guy shout loudly to his companion: "It's nothing, it's just a spotted leopard." ”

However, the man rushed up the mountain with a blood-dripping knife, and then pricked up his ears and searched for the place where Lee was hiding.

The three people below the mountain escaped the catastrophe, and they couldn't help but worry about Li En.

Soon they saw that Li En was caught under the armpit by this man and walked towards the waterhole, Zha Tiankuo and Xue Tao were about to go to get weapons, Zhan Kaijiao hurriedly held them down, signaling not to act rashly first.

Li En was thrown to the ground, and another strong man asked: "This kid actually dares to come alone, he is bold enough, he will be slaughtered with a knife!" ”

Mixed Jianglong stopped: "No, Elder Shui hates scholars, why don't we dress up this kid as a scholar and give it to Elder Shui to relieve his anger?" ”

"Good idea, it's no worse than money, just do it!"

Chaojianglong and his gang caught Li En and walked into the distance.

Zha Tiankuo asked the boss what to do now?

Xue Tao said: "Why don't we hurry back to the Wudang faction and ask the seniors of Wudang to save people?" ”

Zhan Kaijiao said: "No, it's too late to go back to the sect for help now, but it can't rely on our brothers alone, second brother, how is your injury?" ”

Zha Tiankuo said: "It's much better, you can walk!" ”

Zhan Kaijiao said: "Then you go back to Wudang to report to my master, and the fourth child and I are secretly following the gang of Chaojianglong, and we will leave marks along the way." ”

Zha Tiankuo nodded in response, Xue Tao treated him again, and then gave him some crocodile meat for use on the road.

Li En was thrown to the ground, opened his eyes, and found that he was in a stone house again, and the strong man who grabbed him dropped a set of clothes and said: "Boy, if you want to live, change your clothes and follow us obediently!" ”

In order to save his life, he had to do so, changed his clothes, and while washing, he took the opportunity to put the purse containing Da Huan Dan and the porcelain bottle containing camphor juice together.

He lingered in the stone house for a long time, and the strong man threw a package at him, and ordered: "Carry it well, come with me!" ”

Li En picked up the heavy package, followed the man, and walked forward.

Although he was carrying silver, this was a road to death, and the Shui family would not let go of himself. I don't know how Shui Xiuxiu is now?

At noon, the strong man was resting in the shade of the tree, taking out dry food and wine to eat and drink, Li En hurriedly looked at him, but the strong man said: "Anyway, you have to give it to the Shui family, and you don't have to waste my food anymore." ”

Li En sat down, took out the bottle of camphor juice from his arms, opened it and prepared to take it, hoping to anesthetize himself with poison.

Seeing this, the man stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and asked, "What's in the bottle?" ”

Li En hurriedly said: "It's poison!" ”

The man didn't believe it, so he put the bottle down in front of his nose and smelled it, and a strange smell poured into his nose, then he sneezed, threw it away, and said, "It's just camphor water, and it can't kill people!" ”

Li En was extremely depressed, and he couldn't die if he wanted to.

The man ate and drank heavily, then rested with his back against the trunk of the tree.

Li En stood up quietly, put down his baggage, and prepared to escape. The man said, "Don't think about running away, or I'll make you into a puppet and give it to Elder Shui." ”

It's scary to think about making a living person into a puppet. Li En had no choice but to give up the idea of escaping, and when he looked back, he saw Xue Tao, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, gesturing to him, but he couldn't understand it.

Li En picked up the camphor water bottle from the ground and secretly put it under the man's nose, the man grabbed his wrist and said without opening his eyes: "Your little trick is useless in front of Lao Tzu!" ”
