Chapter 333: Bandits (3)
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves echoed across the mountain trail, interspersed with the 'snapping' of the horse's buttocks.
"Commander, we have been running for two days and two nights in a row, and now we must stop and rest for a while, otherwise our horses will be exhausted to death." Although Haoda knew that Mao Wenlong was anxious about the safety of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, he also understood that if he didn't stop to rest now, these war horses that had been running at high intensity for two days and two nights in a row would inevitably be exhausted to death.
At that time, let alone rush to Qiaoshui Village as soon as possible, without the war horse, relying on everyone to walk on two legs, there will definitely be no war horse to run fast.
Mao Wenlong's face was full of anxious looks, and when he thought that Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan had been kidnapped, he didn't know what would happen, and he completely lost his mind.
But Haoda is right, if the war horses are all dead, if they only rely on two runs, they don't know when they will arrive. After weighing the pros and cons, Mao Wenlong finally reluctantly accepted the vast persuasion.
"Phew!"
Mao Wenlong slowed down his horse until it finally stopped, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone hurry up and take a break, let the war horse eat something, and after resting for an hour, continue on the road." ”
"It's the general soldier." Dozens of guards responded with a bang, and then each dismounted and scattered.
After Mao Wenlong got off the horse, he took out a hand-drawn map from his arms, called Hao Da to his side, pointed to Qiaoshui Village on the map and said, "How far are we from Qiaoshui Village now, and when can we arrive?" ”
Haoda gestured his finger on the map for a moment, and said hesitantly: "If we continue to rush at such high intensity and without stopping, we will be able to arrive at noon tomorrow." ”
Mao Wenlong didn't seem to be satisfied, his eyes always stayed on Qiaoshui Village, he was silent for a moment before he said: "Is there any other shortcut to Qiaoshui Village, we must arrive at Qiaoshui Village tomorrow morning?" ”
Haoda frowned and thought about it, in fact, he was not familiar with this area, and the map was even more rough, and there was no shortcut at all. After some hesitation, Hao Da said helplessly: "I am not familiar with the terrain in this area, and I have no way of knowing about the shortcuts." ”
It can be seen that the vast does not know, although Mao Wenlong is very unwilling in his heart, he has no choice but to put away his thoughts and give up.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Mao Wenlong and the others continued on the road again, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves echoed on the mountain path again.
At night, Qiaoshui Village is so quiet that you can hear the needle, only the sound of the rushing water of the Yellow River is 'booming'.
In Chen Lan's room, the third brother and Xiao Liu, the two bandits, were still carefully searching for the so-called treasure in the room.
In fact, there is nothing to search in this room, and the simple layout is almost clear at a glance. However, the third brother firmly believed in Brother Ma's words, and he was stunned and urged Xiao Liu to search the room carefully, but unfortunately in the end he found nothing.
"Third brother, forget it, we've searched all over the room, and there are no treasures at all." Xiao Liu was already tired and sweating profusely at the moment, he fell directly on the made bed, and whispered to persuade his companions.
"There must be places we haven't looked for or ignored ......" Before the third brother's words were finished, he looked at Xiao Liu's eyes and suddenly lit up.
"What's the matter, third brother?" Xiao Liu was stared at by the third brother, and after sitting up, he was on guard.
"Hurry up, we've searched the whole room, but this bed is the only one we haven't found." The third brother suddenly smiled.
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said, "There is nothing on this bed at all, only a few women's clothes, isn't it clear at a glance?" ”
The third brother said in a dark voice: "Of course, there is nothing to find in bed, but it may be under the bed." ”
Xiao Liu suddenly came over when he heard this, indeed, just now the two of them only cared about rummaging through the cabinets, but only under this bed has not been checked. Xiao Liu immediately jumped off the bed, and then took advantage of the faint light of the fire fold to lie down under the bed.
When Li Xiu heard the conversation between the two, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and a self-defense dagger that had never left her body had already appeared in her hand.
However, after a brief moment's consideration, she hid the dagger back on her body again. Considering the safety of the two people inside, Li Xiu didn't dare to risk making a move on the two bandits at all, so he could only wait and see the changes.
Xiao Liu and the third brother quickly lay on the ground, and the fire fold was sent forward slightly, and they immediately saw the three people lying under the bed.
The third brother was defenseless, and his hands trembled slightly, and he almost extinguished the fire. And Xiao Liu's situation was similar to him, and he was also taken aback.
The third brother's reaction was obviously much faster, and he pulled out a machete from his body with his other hand, and whispered coldly: "Who is it, come out." ”
At that moment just now, the third brother had already seen three thin young men under the bed, looking like three beggars. So at the moment, he was not so nervous, and thought that he had met a colleague and had also come here to ask for money.
Li Xiu didn't dare to open her mouth at all, she knew that she would inevitably reveal her stuff as soon as she opened her mouth, and in this dimly lit room, as long as she didn't mess up, she would definitely not be able to find out her true identity.
Slowly moving his body, Li Xiu took the lead in crawling out from under the bed after signaling Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to be silenced. Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan followed her and left the hiding place one after another.
The third brother suddenly kicked Xiao Liu, who was still in a daze, and after kicking him, he put the machete on Li Xiu's neck and coldly threatened: "Say, who are you and why are you hiding under the bed?" ”
Li Xiu didn't dare to speak at all, so he had no choice but to pretend to be dumb, and then fooled around, and even gestured that he was dumb, hoping that the third brother in front of him would let them go.
However, without waiting for the third brother to respond, Xiao Liu, who had already come to his senses, walked straight in front of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and his eyes were always patrolling back and forth on the two of them.
"Third brother, you get closer to the fire fold, these two people feel weird." Xiao Liu looked at it for a moment, and then suddenly said this.
When Li Xiu heard this, his delicate body was slightly shocked, and the dagger hidden in his sleeve appeared in his hand again. As long as Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan are in any danger, she will kill the two bandits in front of her desperately, even if they are discovered by the guards outside, she will not hesitate.
Fortunately, the third brother didn't do what Xiao Liu said, just glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Li Xiu in front of him: "Are you dumb?" ”
