Chapter 369: Encounter a Mountain Bandit

The enemy behind him was chasing after him, and Mu Xiwan looked at Feng Chengyi's injured shoulder, and his eyebrows frowned.

Several people rode their horses and galloped, and they didn't dare to expose their whereabouts along the way, and after walking halfway to a fork in the road, Mu Xiwan stood in place and thought about it for a while, and decisively decided to abandon the horse, and threw a few whips behind his horse to let it gallop away according to the original route, in order to confuse the pursuers behind, he and Feng Chengyi sat on the same horse, and galloped beyond the road next to him.

"Your Highness, we are about to reach the border, as long as we reach the border, the killers of Beiyan will have nothing to do with us." The person brought by Feng Chengyi behind him said.

These people had never seen Darong Muxi night before, and thought that it should be the spies buried in Beiyan, Feng Chengyi stayed in Beiyan Kyoto after he was injured, and he must have used Darong's spies in desperation.

These people were clear about the road conditions in Beiyan, and they also instructed them to go to another fork in the road.

Mu Xiwan listened to his words and nodded, and glanced at the injury on Feng Chengyi's shoulder behind him: "Later, find a hidden place and I'll bandage your wound, and then the road is still far away, you have been riding a horse and bumping, and the wound will bleed more and more." ”

Feng Chengyi knew about his injury, and he didn't refuse, his face was serious and cold, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

It took another hour or so for several people to gallop wildly, and finally arrived at a dense forest halfway up the hillside, and Mu Xiwan was relieved to know that the border of this dense forest was almost there.

Several people stopped and chose a hidden place to sit and rest. At this time, Feng Chengyi's face was already a little pale because of the bleeding from the wound, he got off the horse and sat under a tree leaning against the trunk, and several guards beside him leaned over.

"Get some clean water." Mu Xiwan will clean his wounds.

When the clothes were uncovered, the wound was red, and the blood was still rising, because the clothes Feng Chengyi was wearing were black, so it was not so obvious.

"It's fine." Seeing that Mu Xiwan's expression was a little serious, Feng Chengyi smiled and comforted her.

After bandaging the wound, Mu Xiwan glanced at the situation nearby, and then looked at a few horses that were grazing, and after a few days of driving, their horses were almost exhausted.

"All our rations were left there during the restaurant attack." After a stressful day's journey, everyone is hungry now, but the burden of the fight fell on the restaurant and the inn, and several people at this time did not have a mouthful of dry food except for a few kettles hanging on their bodies.

"I don't know if there's any prey around here." One of the guards asked.

"Nope." Mu Xiwan looked around, "This is the Smoke Forest, there are few people in normal times, and there are relatively few animals. ”

"Bear with me, everyone." Feng Chengyi said, "Let the horse eat first, and we will be patient tonight." ”

"Who?!" As soon as Feng Chengyi finished speaking, there was a sudden movement around him, and several people stood up in shock, Beiyan's spies actually chased after him so fast?

Under the gaze of several people, an old woman with a backpack slowly appeared on the side of the forest.

Seeing the person coming, Mu Xiwan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt strange again, and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

The old woman was also a little surprised to see them, but she didn't show a frightened expression on her face, and came over and said, "You don't know, the old woman is a resident of this neighborhood, and we all come to this forest to dig for medicinal herbs on weekdays. ”

When they heard that there were residents nearby, several people's eyes lit up.

The old woman looked at their dusty appearances, and guessed a few points in her heart: "Have you arrived here in a hurry?" Where to go? ”

"We're in a city on the border, and we're thinking about going home." Mu Xi observed the old woman at night and found that she was not a threat, so he talked in Beiyan language.

The old woman instantly relaxed her guard when she heard her accent: "I see." She glanced at a few people, and suddenly slowly took out a piece of cloth from her arms and slowly opened it, and inside was a large cake, "Are you hungry?" Would you like to have a bite to eat? ”

Several people looked at the piece of flatbread and their eyes lit up, they were really hungry. Mu Xiwan knew that everyone was hungry, so she was not polite, so she said thank you and took it, and gave everyone a small piece.

At first, a few guards didn't dare to ask for it, but they took it when their faces were cold. It's just that this bread is too little, and it is not enough for a few hungry people to stuff their teeth.

The old woman also saw it, and suddenly invited: "The old woman's home is near here, if you don't dislike it, do you want to go to the house to rest and eat something?" ”

Feng Chengyi glanced at Mu Xiwan and nodded.

"It's fine." Mu Xiwan nodded, several people were too tired, and the enemy was chasing after them, they suddenly changed their route, and maybe they could escape their search.

Thinking so, the group followed the old woman.

After walking for about half an hour, a stockade suddenly appeared in front of them, and several people followed the old woman into the stockade, only to find that there was a hole in it.

Entering the door, there were three steps and one post inside, ten steps and one step, and the people standing there were all men who were as strong as fierce gods, Mu Xiwan and Feng Chengyi glanced at each other, and their hearts suddenly became vigilant.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's all your own family." The old woman didn't seem to see the people on both sides, "There are a lot of things at the border on weekdays, everyone is here to protect themselves, and they won't embarrass you." ”

Is this a village? Mu Xiwan was thinking about it, and the guards behind him were suddenly startled, and stepped forward and said to Feng Chengyi: "Your Highness, look over there." ”

A few people looked over and were shocked to find that there were several tragic heads hanging on the simple building not far away.

Mu Xiwan was surprised, could it be that these people were caught and killed by the copycat people on the way to chase them?

This is by no means a simple village, with this cognition, Mu Xiwan and a few people began to be vigilant, but they have already entered the village, and it is impossible to leave at this time.

The old woman did not seem to notice the rapid change in the men, but led them to a house and told the women inside: "These guests are hungry, make them something to eat." ”

The middle-aged woman seemed to be an ordinary person, glanced at Mu Xiwan and the others, nodded, and went into the kitchen to cook.

After a while, the hot meal was on the table, Mu Xiwan checked it, shook his head at Feng Chengyi, and signaled that there was no medicine in it, and the meal was normal.

The people he saw and the people he came into contact with in this village really made people feel a little weird, and Feng Chengyi almost had the bottom in his heart, thinking that this might be a bandit village. Now that we're here, let's eat, the old woman in front of me doesn't look like a bad person.

When the meal was finished, the old woman said, "When the guests are tired, they should rest in the village at night, and then leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Mu Xiwan asked Feng Chengyi's opinion, and he nodded in agreement.
