Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian stayed in this courtyard for five days, and the heavy snow lasted for many days before it stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Good luck seems to have come. The day after the snow stopped, news came from the front: the government had successfully cleared the road of bandits, and the road to the north had been restored.

As soon as the news arrived, the town immediately boiled. The stranded merchants and travelers were busy putting their cattle on the road, and Xiao Jing, who had been impatient for a long time, was naturally no exception, so he set off with Qin Ziqian after breakfast.

He hadn't seen that Miss Lu for the past few days, and he didn't know if she was closed or had already left. Now that he has said that, all he can do is hope for the best, and as for what choices people make, there is nothing he can do.

The journey was fairly smooth. In this way, I drove forward for more than ten days, and the journey was already halfway through.

The further north you go, the more wonderful the scenery becomes. It's just that there are many fewer cars, horses and pedestrians on the road than before, and the villages and towns along the way are also very cold, if it weren't for the occasional three or two villagers walking outside, Xiao Jing would suspect that these are all ghost villages.

Today, there are only six or seven cars traveling along the way. After about a tea time, some big cars will come from the opposite side; I heard that there used to be a lot of cars and horses coming and going on this road, and sometimes there was even a traffic jam. Looking at the current tragic situation, eighty percent of them are after the accident in Linzhou, and no one dares to go in this direction.

Seeing Xiao Jing stunned, Qin Ziqian couldn't help but quip: "What, do you miss that Miss Lu?" ”

Xiao Jing rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What do you want her to do?" I miss your cousin too. ”

With that, he was silent.

The tiring journey is just one of the reasons. Somehow, he was a little uneasy, could it be that the cold slaughter outside made people fearful?

After walking for a while, the car suddenly stopped. There was a shouting sound in the distance, and Xiao Jing, who was a little sleepy just now, barely opened his eyes, and heard Qin Ziqian ask, "What's going on ahead?" ”

The handlebar replied: "It seems that a car broke sideways in the middle of the road, blocking the road." Childe wait a minute, the villain will go and see......"

Before he finished speaking, someone in front of him suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "Run, someone is robbing the road!" ”

Xiao Jing's sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Qin Ziqian shouted loudly: "Quick, turn around and run back!" ”

This era is not like later generations, there are no patrol squadrons on national highways. As long as the roving bandits set up an ambush in a weakly defended area, and then retreat in time after completing a vote, the government will have nothing to do with them most of the time. It is their usual trick to pretend that the car is broken down and block the way, and when the car on the road is stopped, they often have ambushes behind them to intercept those who are trying to escape.

In fact, the handlebar style often runs on the road, and she doesn't need to remind her of this kind of thing at all. Xiao Jing's car is the last in line, as long as he can turn around, he can also rush out, after all, there are people blocking the road behind but there are no obstacles, and if he is lucky, he may be able to rush out.

However, I don't know if Xiao Jing's luck is too bad: at this critical moment, the horse pulling the cart is disobedient!

The handlebar pulled the reins hard and swung the whip desperately, but the horse, which had been very tame all the way, just neighed and did not move, and I don't know whether it was frightened or stubborn at the most inopportune time.

A scream surged towards Xiao Jing like a wave. Among them, there are also lewd laughter with men, women's exclamations, and occasionally a few voices gradually drift away, probably escaping into the mountains by the roadside.

Seeing that the catastrophe is coming, the handlebar style can't take care of others. He hurriedly jumped out of the car and disappeared in an instant.

When lives are at stake, people's first instinct is to run for their lives. However, Qin Ziqian, who was closer to the car door, did not escape, and at this juncture of racing against time, she actually had time to look back to see if Xiao Jing had woken up!

Seeing that he had woken up, Miss Qin retracted the hand that was about to slap him awake.

"Let's go!"

I don't have time to move. Xiao Jing used all his strength to push Qin Ziqian out of the carriage, and jumped out of the car after her.

A few bandits ran to the side of the car in front of them and couldn't move a little, thinking that this car should be pulled by a rich and noble family. The poor man only roared angrily and then fell silent, followed by heavy objects falling to the ground, bandits looting, and occasionally mixed with women's cries and scolding.

"This way!" Xiao Jing grabbed Qin Ziqian's hand violently and said eagerly: "Follow me!" ”

There is an interception in front and a pursuit of soldiers in the back, and it is impossible for anyone to remain 100 percent calm when encountering such a major event. The moment he looked at each other after jumping out of the car, he saw a trace of panic in Qin Ziqian's eyes; This is the first time that such emotions have appeared in these eyes.

Walking through the road in a handlebar style, it is natural to be familiar with the surrounding terrain. Running in the direction he fled must be better than scurrying around in a panic!

The bandits blocking the back of the convoy were only a dozen meters away from the two, and Xiao Jing could already see the grim smile on his face.

was dragged by Xiao Jing, and Qin Ziqian, who was stunned, also came back to his senses. She was just about to run away with Xiao Jing, but her face suddenly changed, and her feet trembled a little.

Somehow, an animal broke free. Frightened, it ran in a panic in the direction where there were fewer people, and right now, it was rushing towards where the two of them were.

"Be careful!"

I don't know who shouted first, Xiao and Qin pushed each other at the same time. As a result, Xiao Jing stumbled to the side of the road, while Qin Ziqian sat on the snow.

It was too late, and the out-of-control animal jumped through the gap in the middle. If it is a little slower, I am afraid that someone will be hit by this panicked beast.

Xiao Jing gritted his teeth and climbed up as fast as he could. On the other side, Qin Ziqian, who was not injured by the fall, also helped the car to stand up.

"There are two more over there!"

After a loud shout, the bandits who were originally pestering the big car in front of them rushed towards Qin Ziqian, while the bandits behind rushed towards Xiao Jing with knives.

Whether it's Xiao Jing or Qin Ziqian, they don't have time to choose. Rendezvous was no longer possible, and the only thing that could be done was to run desperately away from the bandits, without even having time to look at each other again.

After a stick of incense, Xiao Jing, who was out of breath, finally stopped.

This barren mountain is indeed a great place to hide, and it's no wonder that the handlebar style runs here. If it weren't for him running circles around Puhua Town every day after work, it would be difficult to get rid of the bandits who crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains like walking on the ground.

But then?

Qin Ziqian, who ran in the other direction, where did he go?

When he ran away from the side of the road, Xiao Jing heard all kinds of shouts, but he didn't hear Qin Ziqian's voice or the sound of fighting. In other words, at least in the initial period, Qin Ziqian was not caught by the bandits.

But, after all, she is a girl. It's true that she often goes out, and her physical strength is not bad, but she is chased by a big man who is good at mountain action, in case she misses something......

Xiao Jing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

How can two people go on a business trip for the work of the newspaper and only go back to one?

Miss Xia said, let me take care of Ziqian. However, I lost her, and now her life and death are uncertain, and she may even be better off than dead after being taken captive! If I leave like this, what face do I have to see Miss Xia!

Even if I don't have this request, Ziqian is still my friend! If a friend is in trouble, how can he not save him when he dies?

Countless images from the past poured into Xiao Jing's mind. Qin Ziqian, who pretended to be a man to see the "big classroom in the forest", Qin Ziqian, who wanted to catch Pan Feiyu but bumped into him, Qin Ziqian, who was arrogant when she received the invitation of the newspaper, Qin Ziqian, who occasionally showed her feminine charm at the wine table, Qin Ziqian, who was angry when she saw Pan Feiyu, and Qin Ziqian, who pretended to be coquettish and teased him in the carriage......

One scene after another, still in front of me.

Xiao Jing's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth again.

Let's go, go and save people!

While his memory was still clear, he strode down the hill along the way he had come. The bandits are outlaws who come and go without a trace, and it is only possible to find their traces if they follow them before they are far away.

If you encounter bad guys on the way down the mountain...... Then, just fight with them!

Fortunately, Xiao Jing didn't see any figures.

On the official road, there is no trace of bandits for a long time. The obstructive cart was pushed aside, and even the three or four bloody corpses were thrown under the shoulders of the road.

It is clear that passers-by are accustomed to such tragedies. No one pays attention to the victims, and it is not themselves who suffer anyway; As for whether anyone has reported to the official, only God knows.

Even if you report to the official, what about it? The government will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, and by that time, the robbers, who have made a fortune, must have comfortably taken refuge in the mountain nest where they were hiding, or had run to some distant gold cave to get drunk and die.

Xiao Jing boarded the car he was in. Just as he expected, all his belongings were looted, not even the newspapers he had brought with him.

What are you doing with the newspapers? Do you know how to read a newspaper?

Some people can be educated. Others, however, are not.

There is only one thing to educate them: knives!

After carefully observing the surrounding situation, Xiao Jing quickly chased in the direction where Qin Ziqian ran away.

When the bandits succeeded, they would have to evacuate in a hurry. No matter how experienced they try to disguise it, there will be clues on the scene, such as the chaotic but pointed footprints on a certain piece of snow that have not had time to be erased, or the blood stains that are intermittently connected into the distance. By all indications, they must have gone to the mountains to the east!

Xiao Jing chased down the route suggested by the clues. The further you go in, the fewer traces the bandits leave behind; In the end, even the footprints were dealt with, and he had to reluctantly follow what he thought was the right direction with a few clues that were not clues.

Thankfully, he didn't see any other victims except the bodies on the road. In other words, Qin Ziqian is likely to be alive!

After walking forward for another while, Xiao Jing really didn't know where to go.

The sun had already set for the most part, and it would soon be completely dark. When the time comes, not to mention finding someone, even his survival will become a problem.

Just when he was at a loss, Xiao Jing suddenly noticed that there was a bright light in a ravine not far away.

Those lights were very hidden, and they could only be seen by him when he chased them here.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed. Unable to care about his exhaustion any longer, he carefully bent down, trying to get closer to the source of the fire little by little.

Before he could take this step, a steel knife was placed on his neck.
