Chapter 428: The Wind of the North
When Lu Xueyan heard that it was about herself, she hurriedly responded: "May I ask Captain Xin, what is that?" ”
Captain Xin thought for a while, temporarily found an excuse, and said: "It's the qualification coupon for the Lu family's hunting conference, Old Man Lu knew that the third lady was coming, and it happened that I came out to do something, so Old Man Lu asked me to bring the qualification coupon with me, and if I met it on the way, I handed it over to the third lady." 『』”
"Really?" Lu Xueyan was secretly happy, she didn't expect her father to be so thoughtful, and she was about to turn the horse back. Ma Lie next to him suddenly shouted, "Third Miss, please wait a minute." ”
Lu Xueyan turned his head and asked, "Ma Lie, what's the matter?" ”
Ma Lie asked a little puzzled: "What is this qualification ticket?" ”
"Yes" Lu Xueyan was about to explain, but Huo Jun preemptively said: "Ma Lie, with the qualification ticket, the third lady can go to the hunting conference justifiably." ”
"Really?" Ma Lie pondered for a while, and soon saw the problem in it, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't Old Master Lu strictly prohibit the third lady from participating in the hunting conference, why did he change his mind?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xueyan also felt strange, and said in a sullen voice: "Maybe it's because my father knows the news that I ran out by myself, and my father has no choice but to agree to me to come." ”
Ma Lie shook his head and said: "Even if he agrees that you come here, then there is no one from the Lu family, why would the people of the Tokong family transfer the qualification ticket to you, could it be that Old Man Lu knew in advance that they would definitely meet us on the road?" ”
Lu Xueyan suddenly said: "Yes, why did they lie to me"
"Not good!" As he spoke, Ma Lie instinctively noticed the danger coming from behind, turned his head to look, and found that more than a dozen figures in the woods were flickering, quietly moving towards his side.
Seeing this abnormal situation, Ma Lie already knew what was going on, and said in a low voice, "They have discovered my identity. ”
Huo Jun exclaimed: "Run? ”
"No, they have guns in their hands, danger!" Ma Lie realized the crisis and hurriedly spoke out to stop it, but it was too late.
When Lu Xueyan heard Huo Jun's words, she instinctively panicked in her heart, and immediately slapped her horse and galloped forward, suddenly running out more than ten meters away, and she couldn't hear his shouting at all.
Huo Jun was infected and immediately galloped wildly. There was no way, if he didn't want to be shot and killed by them, Ma Lie could only drive the horse and run away.
Bang bang bang!
Behind it was really a streamer, and the gunfire was loud.
Ma Lie lowered his body and lay on the horse's back, avoiding the countless bullets.
"Oh ho!"
However, the rear bullets were too dense, and the accident happened.
Ma Lie's original riding skills were not very good, and the hind leg of the horse he was riding was unfortunately hit by a bullet. The horse screamed in pain, instinctively arching half of its body, and at the same time throwing Ma Lie into the air, and finally fell into a clump of weeds.
Fortunately, Ma Lie had the Ziyuan Divine Skill Protector, and he was not seriously injured in this fall, but only suffered a little skin injury. But it was enough for him.
Before the people of the Kong family chased after him, Ma Lie had to endure the severe pain and crawl forward quickly, trying to stay away from the place where he fell. Because, the shouts of the footsteps chasing from behind are getting closer and closer.
"Someone has fallen off the horse, chase after it!"
"Over there!"
Not long after, Captain Nasin rushed to the grass where Ma Lie was thrown out with a dozen people, and used a flashlight to shine around, although he didn't see anyone falling, but he saw that there was obviously a trace of being crushed on the half-human-high grass, and immediately judged that someone had indeed fallen.
Following a trace that was overpowered, Captain Xin immediately found a clue and shouted: "Brothers, no matter who it is, if you see someone shooting and killing you directly, you don't have to talk nonsense with him." ”
"Yes, Captain!" More than a dozen people opened a carpet around this half-man-high grass.
"Someone" In the dark, a person seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly shouted on his lips, and then there was no sound.
"There is a situation!" Captain Xin had a premonition that something was wrong, and immediately rushed over with a few people in the direction of the call. Several flashlights shone at the same time, and a dark gray mink coat was seen peeking out of the grass, as if it was the one that Ma Lie had wore.
From this, it can be seen that the person who fell from the horse just now was Ma Lie. However, when he thought of Ma Lie's ability, Captain Xin was secretly shocked, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, he is here, shoot quickly." ”
Bang bang bang
More than a dozen guns were all aimed at the fur, and in a matter of seconds, a mink coat was turned into a hornet's nest.
Seeing that it was almost over, Captain Xin raised his hand to signal everyone to stop shooting, and asked the two people to take a closer look, and found that under the mink coat, there was a corpse full of holes.
However, this tragically dead corpse was not Ma Lie, nor Lu Xueyan and Huo Jun, but people from their Kong family.
"Captain, it's your own people"
"Damn, we killed our own people!" After seeing this person's face, Captain Xin thought that the call just now was made by this brother.
There is no need to guess, it must be the hiding place of the person they saw who was thrown down by the horse, that is, Ma Lie himself. Then he was attacked and fell to the ground. Ma Lie took the opportunity to take off his mink coat and cover him as a cover, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape?
Sure enough, as soon as Captain Xin thought of this, he saw a horse suddenly burst out of the woods and galloped north.
"Get on your horse and chase after you!" Under Captain Xin's shout, more than a dozen people rushed towards the woods. But it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, the horse was already galloping a hundred meters away.
Gurgle, cluck!
In the night, a red horse galloped through the half-man-high grass and ran towards the whitening sky in the distance.
In order to escape from the pursuit of the Kong family's minions, he almost held his breath, grabbed the saddle with both hands, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and drove the red horse to run wild with a lifeless whip.
In the darkness, he didn't know which direction to go, so he only relied on his senses and ran with the four hooves of the mount under him.
Huo Jun and Lu Xueyan had long since disappeared, and the feeling of loneliness made him feel a little uneasy.
After running for more than an hour, the red horse felt tired and slowed down on his own.
"Phew!"
Ma Lie himself was tired enough, but fortunately it was about to dawn at this time, and he did not hear anyone chasing after him, so he stopped his mount and went down to the ground to rest.
When it was dawn, Ma Lie gradually felt warm.
He gazed in all directions and found himself still in the vast grassland, surrounded by no people, no water, no food, no birds and beasts, and only a red horse by his side.
I remember that this was the second time he had experienced a situation similar to despair and loneliness. Last time in Kongjiazhuang's Thousand Machine Gate. But that time, with the help of Old Man Hang's plan, the situation was not as difficult as imagined.
This time, a person is in the endless grassland, where horse bandits and wild wolves haunt, and life and death are really unpredictable.
"It's over, stay in this place where birds don't, it's over!"
Ma Lie's loneliness doubled, he didn't know where he was, he unconsciously touched his pocket, and found that the phone was still on his body, as if he saw hope after despair.
It didn't take long for the joy to arise when new problems arose. He seems to be out of the border on this ground, and his mobile phone only has a signal, and it is still unstable.
Ma Lie found a higher ground and found that the signal was still as weak, and tried to walk in the direction of the south for a while, but the signal was still just as weak.
He was physically and mentally exhausted, hungry and cold, and impatient, so he held the psychology of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and found Lu Xueyan's number and dialed it.
Sure enough, the mobile signal of the pit dad is not blown, and the mobile phone with only one bar or even half a signal can't get through at all, and sometimes half of the mobile phone hangs up autonomously.
There was no way, Ma Lie could only try to send a text message to the past, but all of them failed. Ma Lie was not discouraged, and sent it over and over again, and after more than 20 attempts, perhaps God had mercy, he finally sent a text message: "Help, I'm still alive." ”
Unexpectedly, he had a hard time texting, but the text messages he received were very smooth, and Lu Xueyan quickly replied to him with a text message: Where are you?
"Where the hell am I?"
Ma Lie was overjoyed, and subconsciously looked up and found that his location was not confirmed at all. If she was on the prairie, Lu Xueyan would not be able to confirm his specific location even if she received a text message.
"Damn, is there anyone!" Ma Lie cried out in despair: "Is there anyone, where the hell is this?" ”
Wow wow!
No one responded to him, and instead a crow hovered over his head, pulling a bubble of down by the way.
"Holy, whatever!"
In order to survive, Ma Lie had to calm down. At this time, geography in junior high school classes finally came in handy. Most of the northern part of our country is a grassland and desert, of which the grassland part borders the territory of Outer Mongolia.
Judging from the desolate and flat grassland, the silent and uninhabited terrain he has encountered, and the strength of the mobile phone signal, he should have arrived in the territory of Outer Mongolia.
If you want to go back to China, you can only go in the direction of the south.
So, Ma Lie endured his hunger, held the belief of living, and rode on his horse and walked slowly south.
After walking for more than an hour, Ma Lie was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a quietly flowing river not far ahead.
He was even more pleased with the green forest on the other side of the river, with green smoke rising from the woods, and a towering mountain in the distance.
Seeing the green smoke curling, Ma Lie knew that there must be someone over there, so he drove his horse excitedly.
He was surprised to see that there were many people on the other side of the river, gathered in twos and threes. There are also a lot of horses and big tents, and a lot of tents.
A flag was planted in front of each tent, and the flag was embroidered with the words "Lu", "or Kong", "Zhou", etc.
Not surprisingly, on the other side of the river is not a large clan, but the legendary Fengyun Ranch, the address of the six major families to hold the hunting conference this time.
At this point, his cell phone signal was also full
