Chapter 417: Wolves
The marching crowd does not stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But there are so many people, it is impossible to speed up at all, the sound of horses' hooves behind is getting closer and closer, and Lin Xu and Hongchen can only hear someone shouting behind them in just a few words.
"Slow down, slow down, be careful not to fall on Nono."
Hongchen looked through the afterglow of the torches, and saw several white horses hurrying over, and the young man on the horseback was very embarrassed, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were messy, and his face was frightened and frightened.
The guards around him were quite calm, and looking at the movements of the horseback, they were all masters.
Lin Xu glanced at them and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fairly sensible."
The guards were wearing medicine bags to shield their breath, and their knives were unsheathed, and their bows and arrows were useless, so they didn't kill or injure the wolves.
At this moment, it is not a wise move to kill the wolves to provoke the wrath of the wolves.
Moreover, it was getting late, and these people were able to track the traces of the large army when they were fleeing for their lives in embarrassment, and they were obviously masters of tracking all the way, perhaps when they were soldiers before, they were all scouts.
The noble young man also saw the crowd, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and fell off the horse, and let a guard help him, so that he didn't fall into the mud, but he didn't appreciate it, but said angrily: "My father asked you to protect me, and that's how you protect?" Run, run, as for being so tired? It's also a master, I haven't slaughtered a single wolf, what kind of master are you! ā
The guard looked helpless.
In fact, why this is so, they have explained it several times, but the little young master can't listen to it, now he is tired and thirsty, his spirit is tense, and he has no strength to tell the difference, anyway, this time let his little master go home well, and he will never do this kind of errand again, he would rather go to coolie.
There was a bitter face to serve the little master, and when he saw that there was no danger here, he let go of his heart.
"Let's go."
Hongchen waved his hand, and the team continued to move forward.
Since these people have already followed, let's take them with them by the way, and we can't really beat them back.
The noble boy came back to his senses, but said angrily: "Didn't you hear? There are wolves coming down the mountain, and there are many people all over the mountains, I don't know how many, but those villagers are still there, and you don't care? ā
Lin Xu didn't reply: "The government has been notified." ā
This was said lightly and without strength, and the noble son's eyes were red with anger: "Notify the government? The officers and soldiers rushed over, and all of them died. ā
Hongchen was a little incredulous, and asked softly, "Then what does this son mean?" ā
"What else do you mean, go back and save people! There are dozens of people there, and when we escaped, we didn't know how many wolves surrounded us, and they absolutely couldn't resist, and if we didn't save them, everyone would be saved. ā
The noble son looked anxious.
Hongchen softened his eyebrows at this moment.
Even if this young man has all kinds of problems and is very self-righteous, his heart is still good, and those gentlemen in the capital, I don't know how many of them don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously at all, and they are selfish.
The person in front of him, of course, also fled, took care of himself first, and was still commanding, a little bit not taking the lives of his own group of people seriously, but he can say this, which is already commendable.
Lin Xu casually held the reins of Hongchen, let her get closer to him, and said softly: "Pay attention to the road ahead." ā
Hongchen nodded, knowing that this Senior Brother Lin of her family was persuading her not to think too much, that is, a child who has not grown up, her brain is not clear, and it is really not interesting to analyze his words, so it is better to concentrate your mind and pay attention not to take the wrong path.
The noble young man was ignored all of a sudden, and he was frightened along the way, his mood was very unstable, and tears fell.
"Is your blood cold, and you don't even have the slightest sympathy?"
He shouted hoarsely, Lin Xu was not angry, but said lightly: "Don't shout, recruit the wolf again." ā
The boy shut up.
Lin Xu sighed: "I sent out spies and manpower to inform the government, now there are more than 20 people left here with the power of a war, let the old and weak women and children walk at night, or mountain roads, don't care, it's not realistic at all, these more than 20 people, at most three or five can be divided out to do other things, obviously, three or five people against the wolves, that is, they threw themselves into the net and sent their lives, among them, although there are officials and officials, there are also my guards, but each of them has wives and children, there is no problem with doing their duties, and they are dying in vain. I can't let them do it. ā
The guards were silent.
The official is obviously also concerned about the identity of the young man, and it is difficult to speak, but looking at his eyes, they are a little strange.
The boy froze for a moment.
He was obviously frightened, and he didn't think that these people in front of him were also flesh and blood, and they would also be afraid and die.
At this time, the girl who got off the horse stiffly and trembled slowly came back to her senses, helped the noble young man, and bit her lip: "Brother Lang is kind." ā
No one said he wasn't kind.
Hongchen turned his head, and his face didn't show a little melancholy.
Through the night, I couldn't see the situation in the distance, but just watching these people flee out in embarrassment, I knew that the situation behind me was really bad, and I didn't know how many percent of the people who stayed behind would survive.
Hongchen and Lin Xu are used to seeing all kinds of people, and they don't feel strange at all that such a noble son has such a reaction when he encounters the current matter, and those victims of the disaster can't help but be a little indignant when they hear it.
"Cut, at the beginning, the young lady persuaded the big guy to leave, and I don't know who was stubborn and didn't let me, and said how capable he was, the wolf still killed and ate meat, but now it's good, I left the villagers in Haojiaying and ran away, and I ran here to play prestige."
The one who spoke, probably not an ordinary villager, was a little knowledgeable, his mouth was mean, and his voice was not low when he said a few words, which reached the young man's ears along the wind, making his face turn red all of a sudden, and he was so angry that he immediately tore out his throat and shouted: "Don't go, I'm not leaving, go back, let's go back." ā
Hongchen: "......"
The boy's guard smiled, walked over and gave the boy a gentle and considerate look at the back of his neck.
The boy collapsed in the arms of the guard, and did not move.
"I'm sorry, my young master is not going to do anything, and you will forgive me." The age of the guard, in fact, looked like he was not a few years old from the young man, but he was very mature and steady, bowing again and again, and looking apologetic.
Luo Niang and Xiao Yan just came back from the front inspection, looked at the cause and effect, and said with a smile: "I think you are a good person, and your kung fu is good, and it is too aggrieved to follow your young master as a nurse, why don't you come to our young lady?" I am sure that you have the opportunity to make a difference. ā
The guards were concerned, but in the face of such a blatant act of digging the foot of the wall, they didn't dare to speak at will.
After a few jokes, the tense atmosphere gradually subsided. Those ordinary people are no longer always looking backwards and worrying.
After walking for a while, Hongchen suddenly squinted his eyes and made a look, Xiaohe flew out with a rub, only to hear an 'ouch', and three black things were thrown out.
Everyone was shocked.
"Uhhh
Hongchen looked at it, and he frowned, a dog bit Xiaohe's wrist and didn't say anything, Xiaohe calmly stretched out his slender sword, and patted the back of the sword, and the dog shrank in pain, and ran away, protecting in front of the other two black shadows.
"It's a vegetable girl."
The villagers in the back rubbed their eyes and said in surprise.
Hongchen also saw these three people, one was the thin little girl, the other was her dog Daqing, and the middle-aged man with twisted legs who was not good at walking.
Everyone looked at each other, the middle-aged man was still a little frightened, his breath was a little uneven, he gasped a few times, and said anxiously: "We, we escaped, thanks to Daqing, it's really miserable, I don't know how many wolves have come down the mountain, they are like hungry crazy, they are not even afraid of fire, they tear people when they see them, many people, many people......"
He choked up and could barely speak.
Hongchen's heart sank.
In fact, at the beginning, she was not without luck, maybe the losses on Hao's side were not very large, maybe the wolves were not so ferocious, but unfortunately, these were just delusions.
Lin Xu lowered his face coldly: "Hurry up." ā
His guards didn't care about conserving their physical strength, and tried their best to help, and the old and weak who had difficulty moving got into the car as much as they could, speeding up.
Hongchen knew in his heart that this wolf pack would be even more vicious when they saw the meat and blood, so ...... people, not enough for them to eat.
After thinking about it, Hongchen closed his eyes and looked at the topographic map of this place, and suddenly remembered: "Luo Niang, do you have a Zhuangzi nearby?" ā
Luo Niang nodded, "Not far to the east, I raise a lot of sheep. ā
It was a new Zhuangzi, which was also built recently, and in addition to drinking goat's milk and eating mutton, sheep also wanted wool.
Lately they've been dealing with wool a lot.
Hongchen exhaled: "Give it a try, you immediately send a message to the past, let everyone in the Zhuangzi go, kill the sheep and let the blood before leaving, and open the door of the village by the way, so that the sheepfold does not need to be opened." ā
Luo Niang and her own lady are also in touch with each other, and they understand it when they get it, so they hurriedly go to do it, contact their own Zhuangzi, and the flying pigeon is also relatively fast.
Lin Xu sent out a few more scouts to search around, especially behind him, for fear of letting the wolves hang up.
They carry so many people, they can't run fast, if the wolves are hanged, then I don't know how much they will lose!
"Tell us to go down and divide the weapons that we can use, and all the young and strong outside, the old and weak, and the ones who can use them are ready."
Lin Xu explained simply, "Just in case." ā
Everyone continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, Hongchen suddenly smiled: "Luo Niang has made a contribution." ā
Luo Niang was confused.
Immediately, Hongchen's face changed again, and he said sharply: "Hurry up." ā
Those ordinary people are okay, they are used to suffering, and most of them have walked a lot of mountain roads, although the road is difficult, and it will pass after a while, but the noble boy and the girl are a little unbearable.
The boy had woken up, and with his companions, four men surrounded the two girls, even if they were riding horses, and after driving for such a long time, several people couldn't stand it, especially the two girls, who were out of breath and in high spirits.
"Let's take a break."
One of them, a slightly older son, said, "I can't stand it anymore with Nuo Nuo and Lean's body." ā
The guards glanced at each other, and the one who was still in the lead reassured: "If you insist on persevering, we can't rest now." ā
The noble young man muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong with a short break!" ā
He fainted for a moment, and finally recovered a little from his panic, and probably knew that what he and his gang had done was a big disaster, causing a lot of lives, and his mood was very complicated, so much so that he was embarrassed to make too much trouble.
Muttering here, Hongchen and Lin Xu turned a blind eye to it, they didn't hear it, anyway, they wouldn't delay the journey for the sake of a few of them.
On the contrary, Hongchen kept urging, and his tone became more and more urgent.
The two delicate girls really couldn't stand it, their eyes were red, and Nuo Nuo gritted his teeth: "I think, they just deliberately messed us up and wanted to throw us away!" ā
Hongchen's face was extremely serious, and he suddenly said, "Senior Brother Lin, if you order a little, how many of us can use it?" ā
"Seventeen, all good hands."
"Hmm."
Hongchen ordered softly, and the seventeen guards and servants came out of the ranks, all took out their weapons, and walked back with torches.
Daqing, who had been following the team, roared in a low voice, again and again, hurried and urgent.
At this moment, everyone realized that something was wrong, and an old man turned his head and broke out in a cold sweat: "Wolf, wolf!" ā
"Don't mess around!"
Green eyes, at first glance dense crowds.
Hongchen said calmly: "There are not many wolves, there are only dozens of them in total, I promise, there will be no problem!" ā
This should be a small group, the wolf king is not very old, and his blue-black fur is also shining in the night.
Without warning, there was a sound of the wind, and several wolves pounced, fierce and fast, many horses in the team were untrained, the donkey called the horses, and the chaos became when they landed, and Xiaohe shot an arrow, and the long arrow was nailed straight to the front paws of the wolf king, and it was exactly the same, and it was three inches into the ground.
If you change to another wolf, you can make it collapse in one fell swoop, but this wolf king is really different, he bit off the handle of the arrow in one bite, and stood in the snow like this.
Hongchen took a deep breath, opened his hand, and let out his breath.
If it had been before, she would have been able to command a hundred beasts, but now her aura was blocked by evil debts, and she was facing a hungry wolf, she was really not sure.
However, the wolf king seemed to be quite spiritual, and a pair of green eyes looked at Hongchen, and gradually showed a little thought.
There was no movement on either side for a while.
The common people trembled with fear.
The wolves turned out to be very disciplined, and they didn't attack indiscriminately in the face of the food that was about to be eaten.
After a while, Hongchen frowned, turned his head and said sharply: "Who ate wolf meat just now?" Which one, stand out! ā
Everyone was stunned.
Hongchen's gaze fell on the last few noble sons and daughters who came.
The noble boy was stunned, and said angrily: "What do you mean, what do you mean, master, I'm just talking, what is delicious about wolf meat, I don't care if I give it to me." (To be continued.) )
