Chapter 691: Strange Robbers
In the west of Lujiang County, there are Tongbai, Dabie mountains, divided into Jianghuai and separated by Jingyang, in the east of the mountains, there is Anhui County, by the beautiful scenery of Anhui Mountain, surrounded by the clear flowing Anhui water.
In the north of Anhui County, there is a road from north to south along the Anhui River, since the imperial court has crusaded against Yuan Shu, there are many people who have migrated to the south, and there are many people walking on this road.
On the road at this time, a group of more than ten people marched in the direction of Anhui County in the south, and a young man in a brocade robe in his twenties rode a horse in front of him, obviously the leader of the team.
The carriage was followed by several family members, escorting two ox carts pulling things.
In the middle of the procession was a carriage, on which sat two women, one white and one green, obviously one master and one maid.
The two women are about fifteen or sixteen years old, the maid in Tsing Yi is quite beautiful, far better than ordinary women, and the woman in white next to her is like a celestial, with skin like snow, small mouth cherry red, bright eyes and bright teeth, picturesque eyebrows, difficult to describe, and has a beautiful temperament.
The sun was shining, the weather in August was still a little hot, and immediately the young man in the brocade robe saw that there were a few big trees at the fork not far in front, and the dense canopy covered the shade of the trees, and the fork was not far from the Anhui water, which was suitable for rest, so he turned back and ordered: "Go to the front of the shade to rest for a while, drink water and eat, and rush back to Anhui County before dark." ”
"Yui."
Tired all the way, several family members were happy when they heard that they could rest.
The brocade-robed young man came to the carriage again and said with a smile: "Laneige, are you tired?" The fork in front is not far from the river, and the river water is clear, just right to wash the dust. ”
Laneige, the woman in white, nodded: "Brother arranged it himself." ”
When they arrived under the shade of the tree, they settled the vehicle and saluted, leaving two families to guard, and several other family members led the cattle and horses to the river to drink, and the young man in the brocade robe also led his sister and the little maid to the river to wash the dust.
I don't want the group to just arrive at the river, and suddenly a horse rushed out of the grass downstream, startling everyone.
But seeing that this horse has a chestnut black body, a tall and majestic horse, a shoulder height of nearly eight feet, a foot long, the tendons of the limbs are bulging, the knee bones are round, and the hooves are as big as a sea bowl.
The young man in the brocade robe couldn't help but praise: "What a horse!" But I don't know where it came from? ”
I couldn't help but be surprised when I looked closely, but I saw that there were several wounds on the black body of the horse, which was quite hideous and terrifying.
The little maid in Tsing Yi couldn't help but say, "Why is it injured, it's so pitiful." ”
The young man in the brocade robe had a sudden change in expression, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This should be a war horse, here or not for a long time, quickly drink enough cattle and horses to leave!" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a few steps back with pale faces, as if they were avoiding the plague, they hurried away from this horse, they rushed from Shu County to Anhui County, it was to avoid the war, seeing that this war horse had just come down from the battlefield, how could they not be afraid, how could they dare to get involved in one or two.
Lanzhi and the little maid looked at the injured horse, and pity flashed in their eyes, but the brocade-robed young man hurriedly took his sister and left: "Laneige, go over there, wash your hands and face and leave." ”
Laneige glanced at the steed that was staring at her, hesitated, and said, "Brother, why don't you take it back, I'm afraid I'll die here if I'm injured." ”
The brocade-robed young man waved his hand: "This is a war horse, there are likely to be rebels nearby, there is no mercy, and Hugh will cause a big disaster." ”
After that, he didn't wait for his sister to distinguish, so he pulled her away.
I didn't want to just take more than ten steps, the horse's hooves sounded, and the injured horse actually chased after it, and the tall body gave people a sense of shock.
A family member screamed in fright, turned around and ran: "Bit, run!" ”
Several of the other family members were frightened and fled with him.
The young man in the brocade robe was in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled his sister away, and the little maid followed closely.
Unexpectedly, the horse's hooves stopped in front of them, slightly sideways the horse's head, huge horse eyes staring at them, the brocade-robed young man's heart was cold, and his scalp was numb.
The little maidservant hurriedly stood in front of Laneige and protected her master.
"Xiao Ning." Laneige also held the handmaid Xiao Ning's little hand tightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, the horse seemed to be staring at her all the time.
The brocade-robed young man sweated under his hands, stared at the horse, and carefully pulled his sister to the side to dodge, but he didn't expect the horse to follow closely.
What the hell is going on with this horse? I'm eyeing them! Why didn't you stop the family and stop the three of them?
The young man in the brocade robe had never encountered this kind of thing, and his heart was almost broken, seeing that those few family members ran out of dozens of steps, getting farther and farther, he couldn't help but be angry: "Liu San! Zhu Gui! How daring, dare to abandon the Lord and run away, and not come back quickly to drive away this horse! ”
"This is a horse, not a tiger wolf!" The brocade-robed youth almost roared out.
Only then did those family members react, yes, it's just a horse, what are they running? Five or six hurried back, and two shrewd men rushed over with whips from their own cattle horses, and another snatched a stick from the grass beside him.
"Catch it!"
"Get rid of it!"
Five or six men shouted and surrounded the horses, and felt that it was a shame to run away just now, and the men with wooden sticks rushed to the front and struck the horses in the legs.
The brocade-robed young man pulled his sister and the little maid and hurriedly took a few steps back, afraid of harming the pond fish.
In the face of a group of housekeepers with sticks and whips, the wounded steed turned around, dodged the hitting sticks, and kicked them, and the housekeeper with the sticks screamed miserably, and was kicked out of the grass and fell into the grass.
The other housekeepers seemed to be frightened, and the horses rushed again, kicking at the two whip-wielding housekeepers. Open! The two family members flew out screaming.
The remaining two were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, shouting "spare their lives"!
But the horse paid no attention to them, turned around again, and strode towards the brocade-robed young man and the two women.
The brocade-robed young man swallowed his saliva and stood in front of his sister, almost forgetting that the horse could not speak, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do?" ”
The horse's head swinged, and the huge strength threw the brocade-robed young man's body aside.
"Sister, be careful!"
The brocade-robed young man screamed, and hurriedly got up to protect his sister, not wanting to see an unexpected scene and let him stay there.
I saw that the horse did not hurt Laneige, but neighed lowly, and gently rubbed Laneige's trembling body with the horse's head.
What's going on? The brocade-robed young man stayed there, looking dazed.
"Master Hugh should panic, this horse rubbing people is goodwill." A family member who usually raises horses saw this scene and hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, Laneige bit his lip and carefully stretched out his white hand as white as jade to try to stroke the horse's head, but the horse did not resist, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Lanzhi also had a smile on his face and looked at the brocade-robed youth: "Brother, take it back." ”
I didn't want to hear a cry of exclamation from everyone, and my body tightened, but it was the horse that bit her sleeve and took two steps forward to take her away.
"Sister!"
The brocade-robed young man hurriedly came up to stop him, but when he saw the horse turn his head and snort fiercely, the brocade-robed young man was frightened and took two steps back.
The steed turned its head again and bit Laneige's sleeve again, trying to pull her forward.
"Let go of Sister!"
The maidservant Xiao Ning hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her sleeves to replace the woman in white, but the horse ignored her, and seemed to only recognize Laneige.
Laneige struggled, looked at the horse, and said softly, "Horse, are you taking me to see something?" ”
The horse neighed again, full of depression and sadness, and suddenly bent its legs, lay on its side in front of Laneige, and turned to look at Laneige, its huge eyes revealing a look of anxiety and pleading.
What a look it is!
Laneige was shocked all of a sudden, and subconsciously leaned over to touch the horse's eyes: "Horse, what's wrong?" ”
"Master." The man who raised the horse said in a trembling voice: "War horses rarely lie down, it is for the master to ride it, it must be." ”
"Sister, Hugh has to take care of it."
The young man in the brocade robe shouted, and scolded even more in his heart, is this horse a robber? The hard one doesn't work and the soft one comes to the soft one, do you feel my sister's temperament?
Laneige gritted his teeth, turned over on the horse's back, and said in a low voice: "Take me there, I believe you won't harm me." ”
The horse neighed merrily, raised its hooves and walked through the grass.
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
The brocade-robed young man and the maidservant Xiao Ning hurriedly followed, but fortunately, the speed of the horse was not fast, but it was walking steadily, and Lanzhi, who had never ridden a horse, was also sitting very steadily.
Seeing this, several other family members also hurriedly followed.
The horse had only taken a few dozen paces before coming to a halt in front of a thick grass.
"Ahh Someone! He's injured......"
Laneige sat on horseback, and the first thing he saw was a man lying in the grass, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but his clothes were almost completely soaked with blood.
Hearing Laneige's exclamation, the brocade-robed young man and a few family members hurriedly took a few steps forward to check, but were stopped by the horse, and then the horse lay down in front of the grass and let Laneige dismount.
Lanzhi glanced at the horse, endured the fear in his heart, cautiously walked into the grass, and came to the man, the man was lying on his back, his hair was scattered, covering most of his face, and he faintly saw that his eyes were closed, and his face was pale, and the most terrible thing was the tattered clothes, which seemed to be left by the sword, and the blood and water on his body, even the grass around him was dyed red.
The brocade-robed youth and Xiao Ning also followed, but they were looked at by the horses and horses.
"Ahh Xiao Ning also saw the person lying in the grass clearly, and covered his eyes in fright: "Is this person dead?" ”
The young man in the brocade robe had a pounding heart, bent down and put his hand in front of the man's nose, and sighed: "It's okay, I'm not dead, I just fainted." ”
Laneige breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his brother: "Help him go back." ”
The brocade-robed young man hesitated: "This ...... I don't know if he's good or bad, I'm afraid he'll get into trouble. ”
The woman in white bit her lip: "Save him!" If you can have such a righteous horse, you must not be a bad person. ”
She didn't say a word, and faintly saw this person's face through the scattered hair, heroic and extraordinary, it shouldn't be a bad person.
The brocade-robed young man looked at the horse next to him and smiled bitterly: "This fierce horse has recognized you, I'm afraid we won't be able to save it." ”
Laneige had a smile on her face.
