Chapter 187 (186 in the previous chapter)
"Click-"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.
Six chestnut horses and six officers and knights in silver armor roared and rushed away.
On this scorching summer day, there was no rain for two days in a row, and the smoke and dust stirred up by the horses' hooves were so overwhelming that people couldn't even see the swaying grass on the other side of the road.
In the grass, several heads suddenly poked out.
"There should be no officers and soldiers ahead." Luo Hai wiped a handful of sweat from his face, he was already dark-skinned, his face was oily from the sun at the moment, and he bared his teeth at the moment, he looked like a rare Kunlun slave.
More than ten miles ahead is the county seat of Shaxian County, and as for their destination, there are indeed no officers and soldiers in Liuying Village in the north of the county seat.
Along the way, they had intermittently encountered the large and small units of officers and soldiers five times, but fortunately, Luo Hai and his four brothers were all skilled masters, and each time they avoided it without danger.
"Lao Wu, this guy, is he really obsessed?" The brother next to him muttered quietly.
"If Lao Wu really chooses this path, we can only get together and disperse!" Speaking of this, Luo Hai stood up, stretched his waist, and then smiled, glanced at the young subordinates beside him and said, "Zhang Hui, what do you know about this stinky boy, you haven't tasted the taste of a woman!" β
Zhang Hui immediately became indignant, he opened his mouth that had just grown a little stubble, glared at him and said, "Who, who, who said I haven't tasted it!" β
"Hey? Where can we find young girls in the county seat of Shaxian County? Luo Hai was stunned, looked at Zhang Hui in surprise and said, "With whom?" β
"Liu ......" Zhang Hui's slightly immature face turned red in an instant, he scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "I won't tell you!" β
"Cut." Luo Hai pretended to glance at this kid with disdain, but in his heart he secretly began to figure out the woman surnamed Liu he knew......
When the five of them carried their burdens and walked to the entrance of Liuying Village, it was already noon.
The scorching sun was high, coupled with the continuous rush, several people were hungry, and because they had finally passed the layers of blockade by the officers and soldiers, they relaxed for a while and felt tired.
"Grandma, starve to death, find a family to beg for a bowl of rice first!" Luo Hai raised his eyes and looked around, but saw that there was silence all around, this uninhabited appearance, I am afraid that the possibility of Wu Du being here is extremely low!
"Is this itβ"
Suddenly, a human voice came from the corner of the street in front of me.
"I ran all the way here, and when I saw that there was no one in the temple, I accidentally burned the land temple......"
"Lao Ye, are you really careless, or did you do it on purpose?" Chen Xian glanced at the temple that had been burned to ruins, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "When it rains in the future, stay away from me, don't hurt the pond fish!" β
"......" Ye Xiba opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond.
In fact, the ancients of this era, the fear of ghosts and gods came from the heart, like Ye Xiba's burning of the land temple, it has reached the level of great rebellion, if he does not have a little mustard in his heart, it is impossible.
Therefore, Ye Xiba revisited his hometown at this moment, and it was inevitable that he would have relatives in his heart, and he naturally had nothing to say about Chen Xian's ridicule.
"Oh, that's not right!" Chen Xian suddenly strode over to the ruined temple and frowned.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what's wrong?" Huang Gushi glared, and suddenly became interested, he hurried over, squatted beside Chen Xian, and carefully followed the latter's gaze to find clues.
"Someone has been hiding here." Chen Xian stood and watched for a long time, then paced left and right, and came to a conclusion.
"What?" Ye Xiba was stunned and hurriedly walked over.
"You see, this wooden pillar is not burned through at all, but it is broken from it, and it should have been broken by the foot."
"And this should have been a broken idol, but this fragment can run away from a foot away......"
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, look, there's still a footprint here!"
Huang Gushi's voice was obviously excited, and he pointed to the inconspicuous grass behind the temple and shouted in surprise.
Ye Xiba followed Chen Xian to the grass with a calm face, and when he saw the grass that was trampled on the ground, and the black footprints that could be faintly seen, his face suddenly turned dark.
"Someone has been here."
Chen Xian looked sideways at Ye Xiba, whose face was dark, and sighed and said, "Maybe it's not Chen Jianhu!" β
"It can only be him." Ye Xiba clenched his fists angrily, his teeth clenched: "When Lin Niang and I left, there were no living people in this village!" β
Chen Xian sighed softly: "I can actually endure the pain of burning my body by flames......"
His eyes glanced at the small river one step ahead, and he muttered, "Two days have passed now, and if he is not dead, you may be able to find him if you search carefully along this river!" β
"That's right! If this guy is really burned by the fire, he will definitely not be able to escape! Ye Xiba clenched his fists and said viciously: "Lin Niang, their mother and son will follow you first, and I will take the first step!" β
After Ye Xiba said this, he pulled his legs and left without hesitation.
"Hey, heyβ" Chen Xian hurriedly raised his hand and stopped: "Do you want your daughter-in-law and son!" β
Ye Xiba, who had already mounted the horse, heard this, his face turned dark, and he immediately whipped his horsewhip and walked away without even looking back.
Only the slightly embarrassed dull voice remained in place: "Yes!" β
Lin Niang, who had been quietly following behind, heard this, so she hurriedly raised her head, staring at Ye Xiba in the distance with a pair of eyes.
Where would Chen Xian care about the little feelings that gradually rubbed between Lin Niang and Ye Xiba, and after sending Ye Xiba away, he turned his head and walked forward, just two steps, but was stunned to find that five strange men were staring at him from a distance.
These five people didn't have any intention of hiding their bodies at all, and the man who was like a black ball at the head even hugged his arms.
"How many?" Chen Xian smiled and arched his hand, in this village that had just experienced a bloody tribulation, he could meet a stranger.
The person in the lead was really too dark to see his expression clearly, he listened to Chen Xian's greeting, and strode over to this side.
Before the others arrived, they squinted at Lin Niang's mother and son and said, "You are Lao Wu's concubine Lin Niang, I have seen you." β
When Lin Niang heard this, her face turned pale in an instant, she subconsciously pulled her son in her arms, took two steps back in a row, and hid behind Huang Gushi and Wei Qingqing.
"Where's Wu Du?" The black-faced man walked straight to Lin Niang unceremoniously, but he didn't hear Chen Xian, who greeted him first.
"Wu Du ......" Lin Niang's voice was as thin as a gossamer, she only said the name, and two lines of tears welled up, and the follow-up words choked up: "He died......"
