At night, everything is silent.

On the two-zhang high wooden fence beside the suspension bridge, stretching dozens of feet to the left and right, several guards were holding their weapons around the fire, and the night in Yunzhou was always so cold, and the cold air blowing from the forests that had stood for tens of thousands of years was cold to the bone, even in summer.

The guards did not speak, they stared silently at the fire, watched the flames jump, listened to the crackling of the wood, every night was so boring and silent, they had sat here for nearly ten years, and it was not clear why the two stockpiles, just across the bridge, were so hostile to each other.

"Lao Jin, how old should your baby be this year?" A thin guard muffled.

Lao Jin turned his head to look at him, and said slowly, "I just turned thirteen last month. ”

"You remember it clearly," said the other burly guard, sighing softly, "I wonder what happened to the old lady in my house?" She is not in good health, and I don't know if she will be hungry and freezing. ”

"When is this the end of a day?" The wizened guard shook his head.

"Damn, it's really embarrassing to live these days!" Lao Jin scolded hatefully, "Obviously, my mother-in-law and doll are over there, but Lao Tzu can't go back!" You said that this is obviously a stockade, why do you have to fight? When you see your neighbors, you want to go up and cut off their heads, do you think those people above are sick? It's a good day, but you have to fight and kill? ”

"Lao Jin, enough is enough......" The thin guard turned his head to look around, for fear that someone would hear what Lao Jin had just said.

"What? Am I not right?! Lao Jin seemed to be very excited, he heard that the gongs and drums were beating in the front camp today, and it seemed that he was doing something big, so he wondered if his mother-in-law was marrying someone else.

"That's it!" The burly guard suddenly kicked the thin guard, and then yelled, "Didn't you just eat a glutinous rice cake?" What are you doing here? ”

The thin guard was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and he immediately had a half-gloomy face, and said angrily, "Glutinous rice? What happened to the glutinous rice dumplings? Lao Tzu didn't eat enough today, and he was starving to death! You're going to rob me of something to eat!" ”

As he spoke, the two of them pretended to make a move, and the man who had just climbed the wall immediately shouted, "You two! What for? ”

"My lord, this dog thing robbed me of my glutinous cake!" The skinny guard pointed

The burly guard's face said aloud.

"Isn't it just a glutinous dumpling?!" The vine chief who came up to inspect stepped forward and kicked them twice, scolding, "You are going to fight for a glutinous cake?!" If you are attacked by those people in the front camp, can you bear this responsibility? ”

"Those people in the front camp dare to come and attack?" The burly guard said disdainfully, "If they dare to come, I will dare to let them come and not return!" ”

"You're a good kid." Fuji Naga laughed.

"My lord......" The thin guard wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Fujinaga drinking.

"Isn't it just a glutinous cake? Tomorrow, you come to me to get it, a glutinous Lao Tzu can't give it to you? ”

The thin guard immediately turned his anger into a laugh, and said with a flattering face, "Thank you, thank you, my lord!" ”

"Okay, take a good look, I'll go down." The vine chief waved his hand and walked straight down the wall.

Seeing Fuji Chang leaving, the two people who were still arguing just now glanced at each other and smiled. There are a total of 800 warriors stationed in the upper camp and the back camp, nearly half of them are sent from Yunshen Village, and they are known as assisting in the defense, but they are actually afraid that the people in the village will be dishonest and quietly rebel.

"Thank you." Old Kim drooped his head.

"It's okay, I won't say this kind of thing in the future." The skinny guard sat down next to Old Kim and patted him on the shoulder.

......

A scout navigated the dense woods, and even at night, he was able to make sure that he could walk the roads with ease, because he had already memorized them.

But he was already sweating profusely, and he was stumbling and running, but he didn't dare to stop, because even from a long distance, he could still feel that something was chasing him behind him.

Because he ran too fast, his face, hands, and legs were marked with blood by the sharp leaves of those plants, and some plants also carried subtle toxins, although they were not fatal, but they could make his hands and feet gradually paralyzed, and the fear in his heart became bigger and bigger, but fear also drove him to continue to run.

After another turn, he burst out laughing.

Light! It's light! I'm going to Sanzhai soon, as long as I run to the front of the village, I'll ......

He wanted to laugh maniacally, but when the word "saved" came to his mind, he was suddenly pounced on by a huge beast, and he struggled frantically to break free from the beast's restraints, but to no avail.

He was about to shout for help when a hand immediately covered his mouth.

This is...... Human hands?!

The man who had grabbed him pulled him from the ground and met him in the moonlight, the man was not very tall, but his muscles were pierced, he was dressed in animal skins, he carried a bow behind his back, and in his hand he held a spear that was a few points longer than him, because of the backlight, the scout could not see the man's face, but he could see his eyes—the man's beast-like glow.

The scout was caught in his hands and could not move, his hands and feet trembled slightly with fear, his throat moved slightly, and he wanted to speak, but the man made a silent gesture to him, and then lowered his voice and said, "Now I say, you do it, if you can't do it, you will die." ”

The scout quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, as if if he dared to hesitate, the man would let him die.

"I want you to knock on the door of Sanzhai for me," the man stared straight at the scout, and said hoarsely, "Don't think about any tricks, every one of my men is the strongest archer in Yunzhou, within two hundred steps, I want them to shoot your left eye, they will never hurt your right eye, even in such a night, within a hundred steps, you still can't run." ”

The scout subconsciously glanced around, and all he saw was a pair of green eyes, whether it was a hundred, or two hundred, or more, he didn't know at all.

"Now, do you hear me?" The man asked word by word.

The scout still nodded like a chick pecking rice, his throat whining with fear, and the man in the lead couldn't help but laugh at the way he looked, "Now, get out of here." ”

The scout seemed to have received amnesty, and ran out with a crawl, and he had barely taken two steps when the leader's voice came from behind him, "Do you want to die?" ”

Onigiri reads a book

The scout's speed slowed down again, and he tried to calm his heartbeat, and then let his breathing slow down, but his hands and feet still trembled.

He approached the gate little by little, and finally, the guard at the gate spotted him, "Stop! What people?! ”
