Chapter 318, Meet Huan 3
Li Yan lay down and took a breath, and said, "Okay, you go out and drive the horse away." γLatest chapter reading. γβ
Xiao Zhu was taken aback: "What? Drive the horse away? Li Gongzi, without the horse, can we still escape? Li Yan smiled bitterly: "If there is a horse here, the officials and soldiers will know that we are hiding in it, it is even more dangerous, don't hesitate, just do it." Xiao Zhu had to come out, and each horse was given a few whips, and the two horses spread their hooves and ran down the road.
Li Yan and Xiao Zhu hid their bodies in the firewood and straw, and looked out through the gap in the wooden fence.
There was a misty water vapor between heaven and earth, and there was silence in all directions at this time, only the slight sound of raindrops hitting the thatch, like a lonely song.
Li Yan looked at the world of smoke and rain, and suddenly felt a sadness and desolation in his heart, he lay in the haystack, and unconsciously recalled his bizarre encounters in the past few years.
Everything originated from that family visit, he traveled with two domestic servants, lived in a black shop halfway, the domestic servants were killed, he escaped with his life, but lost his memory, was rescued by Li Dang in the Qin army, and after waking up, he actually saw the characters of two thousand years ago, Qin Shi Huang, Bai Qi, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Wang Jian ......
Thinking about it at this time, if all this was a dream, he would not be surprised at all.
lived in the Qin army for two years, and then the Qin army took Huayin and Tongguan, but soon was attacked by the official army, and was seriously injured, rescued by the red lady, and then met Li Kang, recaptured Huayin, and wanted to welcome back the king of Qin, but he was framed and chased by Fan Ju Ziyi, and almost died.
It was easy for the King of Qin to return, Fan Ju fled, the Qin army finally settled down, and soon after seized Xi'an and Meixian and other places, I didn't want to be lured out by a plum again, fell into the hands of the official army, suffered a lot, almost died, and was finally rescued by Bai Qi and others, but at this time I was chased and killed by the official army.
Li Yan is really funny when he thinks about it, in the past few years, in addition to being chased and killed by officers and soldiers, he has been chased and killed by thieves, and in addition to being saved by men, he has been saved by women. It's endless, why is your fate so bad?
He thought about it and began to hate himself, why was he so useless, he was saved when he returned, he had already suffered a lot of losses, how could he still be at risk of killing?
Li Yan was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the road outside the door, he hurriedly fixed his eyes and couldn't help frowning, it turned out to be seven or eight officers and soldiers.
It seems that the situation is very clear, and the four soldiers of the Qin army who were cut off for themselves have died.
Xiao Zhu also saw these officers and soldiers, and couldn't help but clench the hilt of the knife in his hand, Li Yan said softly: "Don't be impulsive, let's see." β
The officers and soldiers braved the rain to look on the road, but there was only this thatched hut, and there was no one outside, so they jumped off their horses one after another, some people walked on the road while watching, and a few people walked straight to the thatched hut, all holding knives in their hands, very careful.
Xiao Zhu's knife became tighter and tighter, and the two of them completely retracted into the hay, showing their eyes in the cracks in the grass, looking at the door of the hut.
The two officers and soldiers walked to the hut, one left and one right, made a look, suddenly raised their legs together, slammed, kicked the two broken door panels away, and then jumped into the house.
But they saw that there was no one in the house, just hay.
The two of them were still trying to go inside, when an officer and soldier walked under a big tree on the side of the road, suddenly stopped, and shouted, "Look at ......."
All the officers and soldiers turned back together, and the officers and soldiers in the thatched hut also turned around and walked out, and came to the tree to look, only to see that the land under the tree was a little drier, because there were leaves blocking the raindrops, so they could see clearly, there were several rows of horseshoe prints under the tree, which had not been washed away by the rain, and there was some rain stored in the hoof prints, which was very conspicuous.
The officer stood up and said, "They haven't been long and can catch up." β
So a group of officers and soldiers jumped on horseback, quickly whipped their horses, and chased down the road.
When these people left, Xiao Zhu let out a long breath and pointed at Li Yan: "Li Gongzi, you really expect things like a god, if the horse is here, we will definitely be discovered." β
Li Yan smiled bitterly: "This is also a way to do it, but although the official army is gone now, once they catch up with our two horses and see no one, they will definitely come back." Therefore, we still can't stay in this place for long, so let's go. β
The two braved the light rain to get out of the hut, looked at the direction, and Xiao Zhu asked, "Li Gongzi, where are we going?" Li Yan said: "Naturally, it is in the direction of Xi'an." β
Xiao Zhu said: "But those officers and soldiers will definitely wait for us on the road." β
Li Yan smiled lightly: "No, these officers and soldiers know that it is me who is chasing and killing, and they also know that I like to make strange moves, so they will not wait for me in the direction of Xi'an, but will wait in other directions, they think that I will not go in the direction of Xi'an, but this time, I will not let them guess again." β
The last time he was caught by Shi Kefa, this is the truth. Shi Kefa expected his walking route, and this time, Li Yan would not make the same mistake.
The two of them came to Xi'an, not on the big road or on the small road, but into the wilderness, among the shrubs and artemisia. Walk very carefully and try not to alarm anyone.
They walked for a day, and at night, they didn't see a village, and their stomachs were so hungry that they had to pick some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, but fortunately, Xiao Zhu was a well-informed, and agile tree, no matter how high and difficult it was to climb the fruit tree, he could always climb up and pick the fruit.
They slept in the grass all night, and the next day they walked again, but they had no horses, and their physical strength was weak, so they walked very slowly, and could only walk thirty miles in a day.
Li Yan looked around, it was still a field, there was no human habit, so he said to Xiao Zhu: "It's not okay to go on like this, sooner or later you will have to starve." We still have to find a way to walk, and with the road, we can meet people and have food. β
Xiao Zhu said: "Li Gongzi, the people in this place either fled from the famine, or were received by our Qin army to Xi'an City, where are the remaining people?" β
Li Yan said: "Try your luck." β
The two searched for a long time before they found a path, which was extremely difficult to walk through the ditch and valley, but there was a road after all.
They followed this path for an hour, and Xiao Zhu suddenly pointed ahead: "Li Gongzi, look, there is cooking smoke ......."
Li Yan looked up, and sure enough, he saw a wisp of cooking smoke rising not far away.
The two looked at each other, but there was not much joy, because they both knew that it was not necessarily the common people who cooked, but also the officials and soldiers, or the thieves.
One after the other, they stooped down, hid behind the bushes, approached cautiously, and finally saw that it was a village, and that the smoke of the cooking was coming from the courtyard at the entrance of the village.
Li Yan looked around, there were no war horses, it seemed that he was not an official soldier, and the surroundings were quiet, and he didn't look like a thief. He was just about to get up, Xiao Zhu held him down and said softly: "Li Gongzi, you wait here, I'll go and investigate." β
Li Yan nodded, and Xiao Zhu said again: "If I am caught, Childe will take a detour, don't come to save me." β
He understood that Li Yan had no martial arts, and he would be sent to death when he came up.
How could Li Yan not know his thoughts, and it was difficult to say anything at this time, so he had to shake his hand hard: "Be careful." β
Xiao Zhu nodded, pulled out a single knife, in order to avoid reflecting the sunlight, he hid the knife behind his elbow, and quietly dived towards the small courtyard.
Li Yan looked at Xiao Zhu's figure, did not go straight to the small courtyard, but went around in a circle, entered a house on the opposite street, and then quietly came to the outside of the wall of this small courtyard.
Xiao Zhu poked his head out, looked at it a few times, and ran back. As soon as Li Yan saw his steps, he knew that there was no danger.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhu walked up to Li Yan and said, "It's the common people." There were men and women, and there were children. β
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked side by side with Xiao Zhu to the courtyard.
They pushed open half of the gate that was about to fall and went into the courtyard. Li Yan looked and saw a group of ordinary people gathered in the courtyard, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, full of vegetables, ragged clothes, only to cover their bodies, the men were a little better, they could have a trouser head, some women sat in the room, they didn't dare to get up, there were no clothes on their bodies, just some rags, fortunately the weather was warm at this time, otherwise they would freeze to death.
There are also a few children, who don't even have clothes, and their bodies are black and gray, and they are so dirty that they don't have any flesh on their bodies, and they can count their bones.
The men sat together, their eyes fixed on a stove with a broken iron pot, in which the juice was churning, but there was not a grain of rice, but all wild vegetables.
But these people looked at the wild vegetables with their eyes like a wolf seeing a sheep.
Li Yan knew at a glance that these people were dying of hunger, and most of them had been feeding their hunger with wild vegetables in recent days.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, these people heard it, and they all looked back and saw the single knife in Xiao Zhu's hand, and the people were shocked, and a few were even paralyzed by fright.
Looking at those women again, they were even more frightened and shrunk into a ball, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
The people also couldn't care about the wild vegetables in the pot, and stumbled and fled, some climbed over the wall, and some got into the house.
Li Yan hurriedly shouted: "Don't be afraid, I'm not an official or a robber. I'm just passing. β
This shouting had an effect, and when the people heard it, they were skeptical, but finally stopped. They looked back and looked carefully, and sure enough, there were only two of them.
The people were not afraid, and a few of them came to Li Yan with the boldness, glanced at Xiao Zhu's single knife, raised their voices and asked, "Guest, where are you from?" β
Before Li Yan could answer, he suddenly squeezed out a person from the crowd, came to Li Yan, looked up and down a dozen times, and then said tremblingly: "This son, are you surnamed Li?" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was a strange middle-aged man, so he arched his hand: "This brother Tai is surnamed Li in the next place, does the brother Tai recognize the next one?" β
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was suddenly full of ecstasy: "You are Li Yan, you are Li Yan's son......"
