Chapter 9: Captured
Ah Cuo saw five or six people coming towards him together, and Ming Ming was still too busy to take care of himself. With a ruthless heart, he turned the knife in his hand upside down, put it against his neck, and shouted coldly: "Stop me!" ”
The minions were stunned and stopped. Cai Wanglai looked at this side in his busy schedule, and immediately shouted: "Don't let her hurt herself!" It's not fun to die! ”
Ming Lang took advantage of the gap to slash out, forced Cai Wanglai back, and ran towards Ah Cuo by himself. Everyone thought that he was going to rescue Ah Cuo, but unexpectedly, his body changed halfway, and he rushed diagonally in the direction of Shi Guan Station, and his cross arm firmly clamped his neck, and the machete was pointed at the temple.
This time it was unexpected, it was too late for the minions to be saved, and by the time Cai Wanglai arrived panting, the situation on the field had changed. Ah Cuo and the dog had retreated to Minglang's side, Ah Cuo and Minglang were standing back to back, and there were blood stains on the dog's fur, I don't know if it was his own or the two minions. The two of them looked angrily at the mountain bandits. Minglang was covered in blood, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Let us go, or I will kill this old man!" ”
Cai Wanglai smiled coldly and said, "The little doll is good, but the abacus is not good." Giving up a teacher for a smart lady in the village, this account is a good deal for me. Hahahaha......"
When Shi Guan heard this, he was immediately frightened and peed his pants: "Cai Ye, Cai Ye, for the sake of my usual loyalty to you, can you give up me!" I'm old and young......"
Ming Lang pressed the knife closer, and blood suddenly trickled down Shi Guan's cheek. He shouted: "Less nonsense, let's go!" I'll let him go when I go down the mountain! ”
Where will Cai Wang put Shi Guan's life in his eyes? With a wave of his hand, all the minions formed a circle and pressed towards the two of them.
Ah Cuo saw that Shi Guan's hostage was useless, and he knew that it would be difficult to protect him today, so he quickly said to Minglang: "You take Xiao Wow away!" Then he put the knife horizontally, put it on his neck, and smiled at Cai Wang: "You let him go, I will stay, otherwise, I will die here immediately!" ”
This smile is just like a rose blooming in blood, brilliant, bright, and with the chill of death, it is so beautiful that Cai Wanglai doesn't realize that his soul has been lost. He stared at the tender girl in front of him without blinking, and waved his hand at the minions: "Do as she said, let go of the male doll!" ”
She is his purpose, and it doesn't matter whether the male doll is kept or released.
Minglang was horrified, and his eyes were cracking. While continuing to hold Shi Guan hostage, he shouted: "Girl, these thieves eat people and don't spit out bones, you can't stay!" To walk together, to die together! ”
Ah Cuo looked calm and said in a low voice: "You have a lot of responsibility, you can't die here!" If you go back, I still have a chance to live, otherwise, I will all have to die!! ”
Where Minglang is willing to listen, it is still to be argued, but Cai Wanglai is impatient: "That boy, the female doll is desperate to save your life, what are you going to do?" Hurry up and let the master go, don't delay the master's good deeds! ”
Minglang almost cried: "Girl, I can't leave you, if you want to die, you will die together!" ”
Ah Cuo turned his head, smiled at him, and said resolutely: "Go!" ”
"No!" Tears burst out of the bright big eyes, rolling down his cheeks one by one, and the blood on his face, falling into the loess on the ground.
Xiao Wow didn't understand their words, but when he saw that the mountain robbers let go of themselves and Minglang, and surrounded his sister, he suddenly became angry again, and he gathered enough strength to yell at the crowd: "Wow! ”
Unfortunately, it fought fiercely and was wounded, and the roar was hoarse and short, and it had no effect.
Cai Wanglai saw that Ah Cuo had been refusing to put down the knife on his neck, so he pointed at Minglang with a whip: "I'll count three times, if you don't disappear, I'll kill you first, then kill this dog, and use your blood to dye her wedding dress!" ”
"One!"
Minglang's eyes stared at Ah Cuo, full of despair and reluctance.
"Two!"
As soon as he let go, he let go of Shi Guan, and slowly retreated towards the way he came with Xiao Wow, blood-red tears rolling down his face.
"Three!"
He turned and rushed down the hill resolutely. Cai Wanglai's arrogant laughter came from behind......
When Ming Lang and Xiao Wow stumbled back to Momiji Peak, it was already full of stars. The Flower Hall was cold. Minglang sat on the threshold, thinking of the captured Ah Cuo, thinking of his own incompetence, he couldn't help but slam his palm on the door, and cried bitterly. Xiao Wow snuggled up to him, and also whined, as if she was crying.
A man and a dog wept relatively well, and somehow survived the night. Before dawn the next day, Minglang arrived at Fulai Town and found Uncle Gui. Except for Ah Cuo, he has no relatives here, and no one can turn to him, so he can only hope that these people may have a way.
He also thought of using the method of flying pigeons to pass on the book, ask the queen mother for help, and let the court send troops to suppress the bandits. But it would take a month anyway, and he couldn't wait, and Ah Cuo couldn't wait.
When Gui heard the news of A's captivity, he was greatly surprised. Not long after, the people in the town who got the news rushed over, they were all people who had had enough of the suffering of the mountain bandits, and now they heard that even Dr. Ah Cuo had fallen into the clutches of the devil, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. But after all, they are all honest mountain farmers, and they have no way to rescue Ah Cuo. Minglang's heart became more and more bitter.
A mother-in-law on crutches walked out of the crowd. She is Grandma Mu, and she once went to Ah Cuo to see an eye disease. Grandma Mu trembled and said to Minglang: "Child, I have a method, I don't know if it works." ”
Minglang hurriedly stood up: "Grandma Mu, you say!" ”
"I have a son who was captured by these bandits three years ago, but on the way back to the mountain, they met a hero, and this hero rescued my son. Unfortunately, my son was seriously injured and died shortly after his return...... I remember telling me before he died that the hero claimed to be Tai Gongzi and lived on the White Tiger Peak. Kid, you can't do anything here, why don't you go to White Tiger Peak and find this person. ”
Uncle Agui nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I also know about Grandma Mu's son, he is still blessed, if someone hadn't rescued him, he would definitely have died in the thief's den, and he couldn't even recover his bones." Ming Gongzi, you don't have to hesitate, the sooner you save people, the better! ”
White Tiger Peak, Tai Gongzi? There was finally a sparkle in the bright eyes. Anyway, it's finally a bit of a direction. As soon as Uncle Gui finished speaking, he hurriedly thanked him, turned around and ran towards Red Leaf Peak.
When he returned to the Lianhuatang, he quickly took out a machete, a fire fold, and two dry cakes and a piece of bacon made by Acuo, wrapped them all, tied them up, and turned around and left. Wow followed. After a few hurried steps, before he could get down the steps, he suddenly turned back, took out the pen and paper on which Ah Cuo had written the prescription, and took out the piece of white cloth that Ah Cuo had wrapped himself in from the cabinet, thought about it, bit his fingers, dipped the brush in blood, and wrote a few big characters on the white cloth:
Tai Gongzi help!
After writing, tie the ends of the white cloth to two bamboo poles, roll it up, and stick it on your back. Baihufeng Mountain is high and deep in the forest, how easy is it to find someone? This method allows the other party to find out as soon as possible. Xiao Wow couldn't help but praise his thoughtfulness in his stomach.
A man and a dog hurriedly went out, halfway down the steps, Minglang stopped again, and said to Xiao Wow: "It will take at least two days to walk to White Tiger Peak with both feet." Your sister can't wait. Come on, call your little brother out! ”
Xiao Wow immediately opened his mouth and said a majestic "wow" to the forest beside him. After a while, they heard a rustling in the woods, and a tall elk with two horns on its top cowered in front of them.
Xiao Wow whined a few more times, and the elk obediently squatted down, let Ming Lang and Xiao Wow climb on their backs, stood up again, jumped into the woods, and disappeared.
The key is that the elk knows the way, as long as it knows the direction, it can always find the nearest way. In the afternoon, when the sun was slightly wester, they arrived at the foot of the White Tiger Peak. Ming Lang got off the back of the deer and let it go to the mountains to find food on its own. He took out the bamboo pole on his back, held one in each hand and held it up, and the blood-red characters on the white cloth spread out in the wind, and could be seen for miles away.
Tai Gongzi help!
A man and a dog slowly went up the mountain with a white cloth, and Ming Ming turned in all directions from time to time, so that people in all four directions around him could see the five words. The White Tiger Peak is high into the clouds, and it only climbed to the mountainside when it was dark, and he was so tired that Xiao Wow stuck out his tongue, but he didn't see anyone.
Minglang inserted the bamboo pole into the mud floor, sat down on a mountain rock, took out the bacon in his arms and threw it to Xiao Wow, took out the cake and nibbled it himself. I thought to myself, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep in the mountains today.
Xiao Wow hadn't eaten seriously for two days, and at the moment he was lying on the ground with bacon in his two paws, chewing happily. As it chewed, it suddenly heard a gust of wind, and it looked sideways: Hey, when did a white cloth stand up next to it?
The white cloth was soft and delicate, fluttering in the wind, outlining the body in the white cloth - hey, it looked like a person!
Who could appear so silently that they couldn't even smell my wow-sama's nose? It suddenly became uneasy, dropped the bacon, and stood up "Teng".
Minglang also looked at the white-clothed man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his face was shocked.
The man looked to be less than twenty years old, with long hair, a long face, a high nose, cold eyes, and clear lips like a knife. He glanced at Ming Ming coldly and asked, "Are you looking for Tai Gongzi?" ”
