Every day at noon, when the dart team stopped eating dry food, Uncle Hai would come to call Lu Xiaoxian and go to lunch with Jiang Xiaotong.

Jiang Xiaotong is very good at enjoying it, although she is walking a long way, but her carriage is stored with all kinds of pastries and many side dishes.

Lu Xiaoxian was also polite, and he was not allowed to enjoy this special treatment, which made the dart master and the executioners envious.

Lin Yun has been walking for many years, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation. Although Lin Yun knew that the other party's purpose was not to rob the dart, someone followed him like this, which made him feel very uneasy in his heart.

In order to let Uncle Hai and them retreat, even if there was an inn where they could stay, Lin Yun would not let the dart team live, and camped in the wild for three days.

Uncle Hai and the three of them did not stay overnight, and they also spent the night in the field like the dart team.

I can't catch it, I can't run away, Lin Yun is on fire, not to mention how depressed he is.

On the fourth day, the darts team entered the rolling mountains.

Including Lin Yun, the dart master and the executioner did not cross this line. For the sake of insurance, Lin Yun specially hired a local guide.

It was late autumn, and the leaves had not yet fallen, and the trees were all golden on the ground, and there was no eye to see the edge.

Lin Yun frowned and asked, "If you want to climb over these mountains, is there a side road or shortcut?" ”

The guide shook his head: "There is only one mountain road, and it will take more than two hours to reach the opposite side." If you go around, you have to go around in a big circle, and it will take three or four more days. ”

"Three or four more days?" Lin Yun was a little hesitant, "How is the situation in the mountains?" ”

"There are many wild beasts in the mountains, and there have been cases of tigers hurting people before, and I heard that there are robbers here, except for hunters, few people take this road."

"Is the mountain road easy to walk?" Lin Yun asked again.

"The mountain road is not wide, there should be no problem with horseback riding, if it is a carriage, then you can't pass!"

After listening to the guide's words, Lin Yun glanced back at the carriage following the dart team, and immediately made a decision: "Let's take this mountain road!" ”

Lin Yun shouted to the dart master and the executioners: "Everyone follow the guide closely and pass as fast as possible to prevent any trouble." ”

The guide was right, the carriage could not walk on this mountain road. After only walking more than three miles, when Lu Xiaoxian turned around, he couldn't see Uncle Hai's carriage anymore.

Somehow, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

As he gradually went deeper into the large woods, Lin Yun faintly felt that something was wrong.

Darts should be seen and listened to, and always pay attention to possible abnormalities to prevent accidents. Along the way, there may be thieves lurking in mountains, waters, forests, bridges, tombs, temples, people's houses, markets, etc. The more crowded the place, the safer it is for the darts, and the more inaccessible the place, the more dangerous it is.

Years of experience have made Lin Yun realize that the only shortcut road in front of him is in a large woods, and there is no shop in front of the village or behind the village. Under the cover of tall trees, the swarthy seems to have no end, and no one can tell what mysteries are hidden inside.

Lin Yun had to keep admonishing his subordinates to speed up, and at the same time, he also prayed silently in his heart, hoping to get out of the mountain safely and transport the darts to their destination safely.

The dart team has been walking in the mountains for more than an hour, and they are deep in the mountains.

Suddenly, Lin Yun heard a strange noise, and before they could react, a large net fell from the sky, covering them all underneath.

Dozens of people dressed in leaf camouflage quickly put away the big net, pulling Lin Yun and the others, who were not at all defenseless, to the ground at once.

Obviously, they have been lying in ambush here for a long time.

In a hurry, Lin Yun was about to draw the knife from his waist, and before he could free his hand, he already had a bright steel knife on his neck.

Dart masters have their own creed, even if they encounter great difficulties, no matter how fierce the enemy, they must dare to show their swords, their duty is: people are in the darts!

Although he had become a sword, Lin Yun did not intend to give in, he wanted to fight to the death.

At this moment, Gu Er, who came with them, shouted: "Lin Darttou, they have knives in their hands, let's not struggle, it is important to save our lives." ”

After that, Gu'er stopped struggling first.

The strongman also shouted loudly: "Be honest! We only rob money, not lives!"

Lin Yun was stunned, and the waist knife had been kicked aside by the strongman.

The strongmen tightened their nets, and they were immediately wrapped in a ball.

Then they were dragged to the side of the road.

The strong men were very careful and hung the people in the net from the trees with ropes, and several people swayed back and forth in the net.

Lin Yun smiled bitterly, he couldn't go up to the sky, he couldn't go down to the ground, and he couldn't even move, let alone fight hard.

The crowd that was hung in the air watched as the two strongmen lifted the big wooden box on the dart cart and ran deep into the woods.

After seeing his companion disappear into the woods with the box, the others haphazardly wrapped the net rope around the trunk of the tree and quickly left.

Lin Yun's tears almost flowed out, he had been walking the dart alone for so many years, and it was the first time he had missed the dart, and he watched the other party push the dart cart away.

Alas, Lin Yun felt a trace of sadness in his heart: How should I explain to Mr. Long when I go back?

In fact, before the net fell, Lu Xiaoxian could completely dodge, in order not to make himself too obvious, he could only be caught like everyone else. Of course, he didn't forget to tell Lu Xiaoyi in secret.

Now it seems that although he was robbed of the dart, there was no danger of his life, and Lu Xiaoxian was even a little secretly happy in his heart when he was hung in the net, at least he didn't have to push the dart cart anymore.

Gu Er seemed to feel Lin Yun's frustration, and comforted him like a little adult: "Lin Dart, money is something outside the body, if you don't have it, it's gone, as long as the person is okay, it's better than anything else!" ”

"It's all my fault for being too careless, in order to save time and take this shortcut, the reputation of the Dragon's dart game has never lost its dart, and it has ended in me. Losing my job is a small matter, and the reputation of the dart game is a big thing, and I have betrayed the trust of the dragon master! Lin Yun roared with red eyes.

Of course, there was another layer of thought that Lin Yun did not say, and he decided to take this mountain road, in order to get rid of the carriage behind them.

"Lin Darthead! Someone's coming! Lin Yun's subordinate Gu De suddenly shouted.

Could it be that the strongman is back again, and everyone is nervous.

Lu Xiaoxian turned his back to the road, he struggled to turn his head to look, but he couldn't move, so he had to give up.

"What a big zongzi!" A voice came.

"Uncle Hai?" Lu Xiaoxian heard that the person who spoke was Uncle Hai, and hurriedly shouted, "Let us go quickly!" ”

"Why did you put you down?" Uncle Hai snorted coldly and said, "I have no ill will towards you, but you want to get rid of me!" Well, now, it's just providence. ”

Obviously, Uncle Hai said this to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was sad in his heart, and he didn't bother to argue with him.

Lu Xiaoxian was not happy, he said loudly: "If you don't let us down, I swear, I don't care about your young lady's detoxification!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's words worked very well, and Uncle Hai hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll let you down." But first, you have to tell me the truth! ”

"What truth?"

"Hualangzhong's father's detoxification, is it true or false?" Uncle Hai asked.

The fact that Hua Yunfeng's father can detoxify is Lu Xiaoxian's nonsense, and he doesn't even know if he is still alive or not, let alone detoxification. But at this moment, Lu Xiaoxian can't admit that it's fake anyway, if he tells the truth, Uncle Hai is angry, let alone let them down, I'm afraid he will have the heart to kill them.

He said conclusively: "Of course it's true, why should I lie to you if I have nothing to do?" What's in it for me? ”

Uncle Hai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you down, but you have to go back to Chang'an with me!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian refused: "I won't go with you, even if I want to go back to Chang'an, I will go back with the dart team." ”

"Well, you can go back with the dart team! If you lose your dart, you won't be afraid that my carriage will follow you, will you? ”

The second half of Uncle Hai's sentence was obviously also said to Lin Yun!

"Listen to it!" Lin Yun didn't bother to bother with him.

Uncle Hai put everyone down, Lin Yun put the people in order, and said to Gu'er: "Little brother, I'm very sorry, your father's dart has been lost, you go back to Chang'an with me!" I'll give your father an explanation! ”

After listening to Lin Yun's words, Gu Er didn't follow: "Lin Dart, my father took care of him when he left, in case the property can't be delivered, let me go back and report my family's safety!" If you go back now, you will not only lose your belongings, but also the credit of the Dragon's Dart Game. ”

Gu Er's words made Lin Yun stunned, and he nodded for a long time before he nodded: "You're right, I'm confused!" I'll send you home and really finish this trip. ”

"That's right! We'll keep our promises! Lu Xiaoxian also echoed on the side, he wished he could stay away from Uncle Hai and drag it back for a day.

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Uncle Hai knew that it was useless to persuade them again, so he deliberately reminded: "That is the case, I won't stop you, it's too dangerous in the mountains, let's take a detour, although it is farther, but after all, it is safer!" ”

Uncle Hai's meaning is very clear, as long as his carriage can keep up, it doesn't matter how many more days.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, it's decided!" ”

……

A few days later, Lin Yun and his entourage finally arrived at their destination.

Uncle Hai's carriage was still following them as before.

"That's it ahead!" Gu'er pointed to a village not far away and said slowly.

Lu Xiaoxian was very surprised, it stands to reason that Gu'er should be happy when he arrives home, but when he speaks, Gu'er has an indescribable melancholy, which is very inconsistent with his age.

In front of the gate of the courtyard, Gu Er stood for a while before leading everyone into the courtyard.

An old man in his fifties couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gu'er, and blurted out: "Little master, why are you?" What about the master? ”

"Steward Liu, Grandma Weng is here?" Gu'er asked eagerly.

Only then did Lu Xiaoxian understand that Gu'er turned out to be the young master of this family.

"In, in, in! Little master, I'll take you! ”

As soon as the housekeeper's voice fell, an old man and an old woman appeared in the courtyard together.

When Gu Er saw the two old men, she fell to her knees on the ground, shouted "Ah Weng" and "Grandma" and cried loudly.
