Li Tong is a child of a family, and the six arts of the gentleman have naturally been learned, otherwise he would not carry a sword with him.

It's just that his body was heavily pressed, but it was inconvenient to draw the sword out of his hand, and he was about to take the scabbard directly with his backhand and insert it backwards.

The person who held him down stretched out a hand and strangled his neck, making him gasp and roll his eyes.

At the same time, someone pounced on his hand, kicked over the fire, and burned his face with a little spark.

Before Li Tong could see who was behind him, his hands and feet had already been tied up like hooves of four horses, and at the same time, his mouth was stuffed with something unknown, and a fishy smell made him almost want to vomit.

At the same time, someone wrapped a cloth around his mouth, and finally tied a knot at the back of his head, so that he could not make a sound.

With a bang, someone pulled out his sword and looked at it, and then said something he didn't understand.

Hearing this accent, Li Tong's heart sank.

"Hu Ren?"

The man who had packed up all his belongings with him, then put out the fire again, leaving no trace, and then carried him away.

Although it was dark, it was obvious that these people knew the road in the mountains, and they had turned and turned along the way, and they didn't know how long they had walked, Li Tong only felt that the clothes on his body had been scraped into tatters by the branches along the way, and even his face was burning with pain.

Eventually, they entered a cave with several fires, each with a crowd of people sitting around it.

With so many people sitting inside, there is still quite a bit of room vacant, and it can be seen that it is a large cave.

Seeing someone coming in from outside, the people at the fire turned their heads to look.

Li Tong tried his best to raise his head and look, only to see that those people were all cloaked and reflected in the firelight, but their faces were hidden under the long hair, making it impossible to see their true faces, which looked extremely weird.

With a "bang", Li Tong was thrown to the ground, so shocked that his bones almost fell apart, and he was about to vomit out of his meal overnight.

But his whole body was tied tightly, and he couldn't move at all, and he only felt extremely uncomfortable.

Someone from the middle of the fire stood up, walked up to Li Tong, pinched his face with one hand, looked at it, and said a word in nonsense.

When the others heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Facing the firelight, Li Tong finally saw his face clearly.

I saw him with deep eyes, an eagle hooked nose, and a very typical bearded face.

"Han Chinese?"

The man asked in a stiff Chinese dialect, and at the same time asked the strip of cloth that covered his mouth to be untied, and it seemed that he should be a leader.

Except for the Hu people, who often live with the Han Chinese, the average Hu tribe does not speak Chinese except for the leader.

Li Tong hurriedly spit out the contents of his mouth and gasped for breath.

"Yes." Regardless of the sore and sore neck, he raised his head hard and showed a flattering smile, "This leader, I am a member of the Li family in Shuzhong, as long as you let me go, I can ask the family to send food over to exchange." ”

When the leader of the Hu people heard this, he grinned, touched Li Tong's face and neck, and pinched his shoulder, "No wonder the skin and flesh are so delicate." ”

There was a greedy glint in his eyes.

Feeling the old bark-like hand groping on his body, Li Tong had goosebumps on his body.

"Whatever you want, you can tell me, and I'll ask my family to send it over."

Li Tong saw that the leader of the Hu people did not answer his words, and thought that he had spoken too fast just now, and the other party could not hear clearly, so he endured the panic and discomfort in his heart, and quickly slowed down his speech and repeated.

"And then your men came with us, just in time to capture us?"

The leader of the Hu people slapped Li Tong in the face and said coldly, "How many people have you Han captured in the past two years?" In order to escape your pursuit, we fled into the mountains. ”

"If there is really nothing to eat, who will come back? I didn't expect that I had good luck in the past few days to catch such a tender lamb. ”

There weren't many words, but Li Tong heard the terrifying meaning in it, and before he could scream, the leader of the Hu people stuffed back what he had just spit out, and tied it tightly with strips of cloth.

Although Li Tong wanted to explain that kind of thing had nothing to do with him, and that vicious Tian Shelang was the initiator, but people didn't listen to him anymore and directly threw him into a corner.

There was a strong smell of blood in the corner, Li Tong turned over and saw an object hanging not far away, but the fire couldn't shine here, so he couldn't tell what it was.

The leader of the Hu people walked back to the fire, and he didn't know what he said, but he could hear the laughter from the other side.

The cave was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Li Tong shrank in the corner, and finally felt remorse in his heart.

What is it to be sent to Nanxiang by the family?

What is it to be slapped a few times by my sister?

was sent to Nanxiang by the family, he is still a son-in-law, and he still has no worries about food and clothing.

After being slapped a few times by his sister, he returned to Zhuangzi, he was still the master of Zhuangzi, and all the servants had to bow their heads and salute when they saw him.

fell into the hands of the Hu people, but life and death were uncertain.

Shu out of the northwest, to the northwest is Hu land, these years Shu has come a lot of people from the north, even with the legend of the Hu people in the north has also been introduced into Shu.

Besides, there are many Hu people who have been arrested in Nanxiang in the past two years, and Li Tong also knows some of the customs of the Hu people.

If a woman is in Hudi, she will become a tool for Hu to have children, and a man will be reduced to a sheep slave and a cow slave if she is in Hudi, that is certain.

I heard that the Hu people would use people as rations when they were short of food, and even the skulls would be polished into drinking utensils.

I don't know if it's true......

Thinking of this, Li Tong only felt extremely frightened, his whole body trembled, and his remorse was even greater.

If he was allowed to do it all over again, he would not dare to leave Hanzhong alone.

As the night wore on, the voices of the people on the other side became softer, and the flames of the fire went down, and it seemed that the people were beginning to fall asleep.

Li Tong only felt numb and painful, cold and hungry in his body, and the huge fear in his heart, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.

Even if his eyelids drooped, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would suddenly wake up again.

In such a daze, I don't know how long it took, he just closed his eyes, as if he heard a scream, thinking that he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations.

Someone in the cave shouted, and while the coals of fire had not yet been extinguished, I saw that some people stood up, and at the same time held sticks and other things in their hands.

But before they could rush out, there was a sound of breaking through the air at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time there was the thud of pulling the bowstring.

Then the people in the cave screamed a few more times.

A loud shout came: "Those who abandon weapons will not be killed!" ”

Then he said it again in nonsense.

The Hu people in the cave screamed in surprise, and the figures of many people were obvious.

Others rushed out in desperation, but soon there was another scream.

Li Tong in the corner heard this familiar accent, his eyes drooped, and he hurriedly squirmed, struggling hard, for the first time, he felt that the Chinese language was as beautiful as fairy music.

The battle unfolded suddenly, but ended faster.

Hu Ren, who had killed and wounded more than a dozen people, looked at the Han army covered with strong bows and crossbows outside the entrance of the cave, and finally dropped the rough weapons in his hands, and then retreated one after another.

Only then did Li Tong find that there was already a faint white light outside the cave entrance, and it turned out that it had already begun to dawn.

He saw a few torches thrown in from outside, illuminating the cave, then a few Han soldiers with shields cautiously entering, and finally soldiers with weapons.

After confirming that the Hu people had no sense of resistance, the soldiers outside rushed in, driving the Hu people out like driving cattle and sheep.

Li Tongren was in the corner, arching around like a maggot, and his mouth was "whining", trying to make a movement to attract the attention of those soldiers.

It's a pity that he was tied too tightly, his mouth was sealed too tightly, and the movement was so small that no one noticed him.

"Light the torch and see if there's anything missing."

After driving all the Hu people out, a leader spoke.

After a while, someone finally came to this corner with a torch, "Hey, there's something here." ”

Hearing this, Li Tong burst into tears, have you finally seen me?

"It's a person."

The soldier holding the torch put the torch on Li Tong's face, looked at it carefully, turned around and shouted, "Qu Chang, there is a Han here." ”

"Are you alive?"

"Alive."

"This kid has a big fate, and he can survive one night in the Hu people's nest."

The curator came over and looked at it, "That's right, it's tied like this, it's the one from last night, help him untie it." ”

Hearing this, Li Tong was suddenly resentful in his heart, feeling that when he was arrested last night, they followed him?

It's just that after what happened last night, he was much more careful, and he didn't dare to show a little dissatisfaction on his face.

"Hey, what's this hanging?"

The soldier with the torch saw that something was still hanging beside him, and he leaned over the torch and turned it over.

"Don't look!"

Qu Chang hurriedly shouted at Li Tong.

It's a pity that it's too late.

Li Tong just glanced at it, and felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and with a "vomit", everything in his stomach rushed up.

At the same time, there was an extremely frightened look in his eyes, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and he used his hands and feet at the same time, and he wanted to stay away.

It's a pity that he has just been untied, his hands and feet are sore and numb, and he can't use any strength, so he has to scream "uh-uh", and he can't even speak.

Qu Chang shook his head with a sigh and said to the soldiers, "Take that...... Untie it, find a place to bury it, and see if you can find the skull in the hole. ”

As he spoke, he picked up Li Tong and walked out of the cave.

When he went outside, greedily smelling the fresh breath outside, Li Tong believed that he was alive.

He didn't even dare to look back at the cave, as if it were Hades.

With no arms and no head, only one leg left, and a miserable white headless corpse would be his nightmare for a long time to come.

"Qu Chang, the ...... just now" The soldier who had buried the body came over, Rao is that he had seen a lot of dead people, but he was still a little pale with fright, "What's going on?" ”

"Hu people's meat food." Qu Chang's face was also extremely ugly.

"Those Hu people who have the habit of cannibalism will hang people upside down while they are alive, cut off their ears, cut off their necks, and let the blood dry up and die.

"Gross!"

Li Tong on the side listened to it and retched again.

Everything in my stomach spit out, and I couldn't vomit anymore, so I began to vomit yellow-green bile.

A gust of mountain wind blew, Li Tong, who was physically and mentally exhausted, and vomited bile, finally couldn't stand it anymore and fainted.

When he awoke, he found himself lying on the ground with a layer of dead leaves laid underneath him.

"Awake?"

A young general in armor walked over and asked, "Can you understand me?" ”

Behind him was the Qu Chang who saved himself.

"Where is this?"

Li Tong asked with difficulty.

"In the Yinping Mountain, we are preparing to go to Yang'an Pass. Who are you? How could he run into the territory of the Hu people alone? ”

The young general looks quite kind, and his smile makes people feel quite comfortable.

"Went the wrong way, got lost in the mountains."

"Oh," the young general nodded, and asked again, "you haven't said who you are, and if you don't tell me your roots, then I'll count you as a savage, or at least seventy." ”

Li Tong replied, "My surname is Li, a native of Jincheng. Came from Hanzhong and prepared to go to Jincheng to deliver a letter. Are you a vigilante group? ”

"I also know the militia group, it seems that he has a background." The young general smiled, "We are not a militia group, we are soldiers of Yang'an Pass, and we came out to patrol the border." I saw that there were Hu people doing evil, so I solved it easily. ”

"Thanks to Lang Jun's blessing, I heard those subordinates say that they found a Hu people's nest last night, and they gained a lot."

"I also heard what they said, it was too dark at night to do it, so I had to wait until dawn to do it, but I didn't expect Li Langjun to suffer all night."

"But don't blame them, when this kind of thing happens, everyone can only accept their fate. If you can't survive one night, then you can only tell your fortune badly, and if you can get through it, it will be fate. ”

The young general has a slightly apologetic and sincere smile on his face, which makes people feel good at first glance.

"By the way, you said that your surname is Li, and you returned to Jincheng from Hanzhong, are you from Nanzheng?"

An imperceptible glint flashed in the youngster's eyes.

"No, it's from Nanxiang."

Li Tong shook his head.

Hearing Li Tong say this, the young general's face finally relaxed, and he asked the last question, "How do you prove your identity?" ”

Li Tong glanced at the saber on the young general's waist and said, "I have a sword that fell into the hands of Hu Ren, and there is a Li character engraved on the sword. As long as you take this sword to Nanxiang and ask Nanxiang Mu Niangzi, Mu Niangzi will prove it. ”

"Nanxiang Mu Niangzi?"

The young general raised his eyebrows, and his face showed hesitation, "Li Langjun and Mu Niangzi are very familiar?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Li Tong shook his head again and again, how could he dare to deal with this kind of thing, at this time he didn't have the face to go back to Nanxiang at all, "My family is the old housekeeper of the Li family, I am the son of the Li family, how dare I say that I am familiar with Mu Niangzi?" ”

"Are you the son of the Li family? How can you get such a good sword? ”

The youngster accidentally asked and slipped out.

"That's right, the adults made meritorious contributions back then, so the head of the family rewarded it."

"I see."

The young general touched the sword at his waist and sighed, "That's a pity." ”

Li Tong glanced at the sword at his waist again and asked, "What's the pity?" ”

It's a pity that you don't know Mu Niangzi well, just a child.

The young general smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Li Langjun, when Li Langjun fainted, they were in a hurry and accidentally lost the sword, which is really a pity." ”

"I also have a package that fell into the hands of Hu Ren, and the package contains some clothes, some soft ones, and a few pieces of dry food."

Li Tongqiang took a breath and said.

His appearance was seen by others, and the young general became more and more sure that he was just a small character, and continued to pretend to sigh at the moment.

"Oh, it turns out that the package is also Li Langjun's? It's really unlucky, I lost a lot of things on the road yesterday, and there is Li Langjun's package here......"

Li Tong took a deep breath, forcibly didn't look at the sword on the other party's waist, touched his chest, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Did you lose the jade pendant on my body?" ”

The young general nodded, his face was a little unnatural, and he coughed dryly, "There's no way, those soldiers under my command are all rough." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and kicked Na Qu Chang, and scolded, "Let you be careless!" ”

"Yes, yes, the villain is wrong."

Na Qu Chang cried with a sad face, "I'm sorry Li Langjun, at that time, the brothers rushed to the ground to meet General Jiang, and they didn't notice your things, it's really unbearable!" ”
