When the gloomy face of Lao Qi came out of the house, and after seeing the four subordinates who died unexpectedly, he bent down and reached out to touch a handful of donated blood that had not yet coagulated, rubbed it with his fingers, and then viciously gave an order: "Chase!" I just left the street, chased it back and roasted it, and left the liver to me! ”

At this time, He Biantan had been rowing a small sampan in the waterway for a while.

When he was wrapped in a fishing net and thrown at the bow of the boat, he had already made a note of the waterways in and out of the Devil's Head Depression. Most of them have this kind of ability to remember the road, just like the Meituan riders of later generations, people with good memories can often save time, and they can earn a little more as soon as they settle the accounts at the end of the month.

He Bian Dan naturally has a good memory, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat this bowl of rice, so this sampan is already halfway there.

However, no matter how good your memory is, it can't match the familiar way of the water bandits. After all, it was dark night, and some forks in the road were not clear under the tension and hecticism, so when He Biandan ran halfway, he had already gone in the wrong direction.

What's even more terrifying is that he and Shopkeeper Wu both heard a noise in the distance and saw some faint torch light.

Knowing that he couldn't outrun the snake in the reeds, He Bian gritted his teeth and manipulated the sampan into a dead end by the waterway.

After turning into this shallow depression that was sheltered by reeds, He Bian held the penny fiercely, first stranded the sampan on the shore, and then he helped the shopkeeper Wu off the boat. Immediately after that, He Bian Dan came to the side of the boat, and as soon as his arms strained, he erected the small sampan.

The erected sampan bubbled a few times and quickly sank into the muddy water on the shore. He then pressed down harder, and then inserted a penny into the water to pin the hull of the boat, trying to cover up the traces of the sampan.

Then he turned around and pulled up his trouser legs, kicked off the rotten straw sandals on his feet, squatted down and picked up the shopkeeper Wu, and began to flee west without hesitation.

The two of them are now located next to the tributaries of the Zengjiang River in a north-south direction. And the bandits are searching in the north and south directions along the waterway at the moment, so the only way for He Biandan to survive is to go west, wait until he enters the mountainous area to the west, and then make a big detour to Zengcheng.

Unfortunately, the west side is not so easy to get to, and the first thing the fugitives have to do is to walk through the reedy swampy area.

At this time, there was no waterway. He Bian carried the shopkeeper Wu on his back, and began to take a deep foot and a shallow foot, fell down and got up, and walked through the wetland with difficulty.

"The afterlife, it shouldn't have been like this." After falling down a few times, Shopkeeper Wu lay on He Biandan's back covered in mud and water, and said with a wry smile.

In the opinion of the shopkeeper Wu, it is really not necessary for He Bian to bear this hand: everyone has been working hard in the bandits' den for a few days, as long as the bandits keep their promises, then they can go out safely when their proprietor pays the ransom, so why take this risk?

However, the situation at that time did not allow him to reason with He Biandan again: after the old and sophisticated shopkeeper Wu woke up, he realized at the first time that He Biandan must have done something to the night guard to break in, so he couldn't make a sound, otherwise it would be a burden to the young people, including himself.

"My grandfather was killed by the water bandits, and he didn't even find the corpse in the capital."

I didn't want He Biantan to be panting in the muddy water, but at the same time, he said a reason that the shopkeeper didn't expect: "My mother has always said back then, and you won't be a bad person if you kill you." ”

At this time, Shopkeeper Wu realized one thing: He Bian Dan was different from him, he was a reserve bandit who was forcibly coerced in by the bandits.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but sigh: "There is backbone in the future!" Anyway, the old man received your kindness today, let's earn our lives this time! ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Wu gritted his teeth and jumped down from He Biandan's back, letting the young man hold him, and the two struggled forward.

Probably because the previous bad luck was used up, the next escape journey, although the old and the young were embarrassed and tired and half dead, they did not encounter additional tests such as mire poisonous insects.

Eventually, the duo spent an hour escaping the wet area and coming to the edge of the mountains around the Luofu Mountains in eastern Guangdong, panting, sitting on a dry ground and laughing.

Once here, the duo is considered to have escaped. Next, you just need to wait for dawn, find a nearby village, and hire a boat to go to Zengcheng County.

Shopkeeper Wu, who was in a good mood, sat on a tree stump at this time, and said to He Biandan, who was covered in muddy water and lying on the ground tiredly: "Later life, the old man has seen you pleasing to the eye in the morning, I am afraid that this is fate." Don't worry, from now on, if there is a bite of my Lao Wu to eat, there will be a bite of you, and we will be a family! ”

"Hey, hey." Although He Biandan, who didn't talk much, was happy in his heart, his education level was very low, and he couldn't say anything to suit the situation, so he could only reply with a smirk.

After resting like this for a while, it was early in the morning, and the sky should be bright after a while, so they got up, He Bian Dan continued to support Lao Wu's arm, and the two of them planned to continue to walk north along the flat road under the mountain.

The next moment, the duo screamed at the same time and took a few steps back.

Right in front of them, at some point, there were actually several monsters standing. The monsters were vague and could only be seen to be about human shapes, but the most terrifying thing was the monster's eyes—several pairs of eyes emitting a red or green light, which flickered in the dark night, which was terrifying.

After seeing these red-and-green-eyed monsters that appeared quietly, He Bian Dan was first frightened and wanted to run, and then he realized that the two of them would no longer have the physical strength to penetrate the wetland.

Besides, looking at the sneaky appearance of these mountain spirits, He Bian Dan didn't think that he could outrun the other party.

The next moment, judging that there was no way to escape, the young man drew his sharp knife without hesitation: "Ah, mountain spirit! Shopkeeper's run! ”

Pushing the shopkeeper Wu behind him, He Bian pounced on him as soon as he fit it.

said that it was too late, and the next moment, when I saw the flat pole pounce, I saw one of the mountain spirits gently raise his hand, and a flash of lightning will hit him. Then He Bian was beaten by the electric light and trembled, and in a moment, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

The shopkeeper Wu on the side naturally didn't run, he actually sat on the ground a long time ago. Now after seeing this scene, the old man was so frightened that he quickly got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting in his mouth: "We are all good people, and we collided with Grandpa Mountain Spirit, and please accept Lei Fa to spare your life!" ”

The next moment, the mountain spirit received the thunder law, and then asked in a strange accent "mountain spirit language": "Who are you waiting for?" Where did it come from? Why wander in the wilderness? Why don't you get it quickly? ”

"Move, the villain is all recruited......" The shopkeeper Wu felt a little relieved at this time, probably he found that this mountain spirit was also the spirit of the Ming Dynasty, and he actually spoke Chinese, and it was good to be able to communicate.
