Chapter 140: Bandits
The four fast horses galloped like arrows off the line, adding a bit of mystery and desolation to the quiet night.
The sound of whirring wind sounded in Zhou Zhi's ears, and with the bump of the horse, all the internal organs seemed to be boiling, and the mouth was filled with sour water and bitter water.
Since crossing the Ming Dynasty, this seems to be the first time to be so helpless. I wanted to catch one or two of them and ask them where they came from, but I didn't want to use this method of fighting for my life, boldly risk being caught by them, and being tossed like a chicken.
In this Ming era, the noble and the military are cheap, and they want to be a showman, raise people and the like, not willing to be mediocre, and live a wonderful life. Therefore, although the body is healthy and strong, he has not chosen the path of martial arts.
But in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the northerners were brave and brave, and they didn't have any martial arts, so they couldn't just rely on ruthlessness.
Fortunately, they didn't mean to hurt themselves, which is a blessing in misfortune.
If he was really killed by them, like his neighbor Wang Ren, then the second life given to him by God would end in nothingness.
Thinking wildly, the ears were on high alert, eager to get some information from their conversation. But what disappointed Zhou Zhi was that these four people seemed to have become mute along the way and didn't say a word. It's that even the wilting monkey is silent, and only cares about beating the healthy horse vigorously.
This kid's equestrian skills don't seem to be bad, and I don't know when he learned to ride a horse. It seems that as Liu Hui's little brother said, this kid is very energetic now, and his life is good.
The taste of hanging upside down on the horse was really uncomfortable, and Zhou Zhi felt that every bone seemed to be crispy, and his body seemed to be able to explode in an instant at any time. At this time, he only hoped that they would stop as soon as possible, so that he could put an end to this unspeakable suffering.
The horse didn't know how long it had been running, and the horse's speed finally slowed down, but Zhou Zhi felt more bumpy, and at this time it seemed to be on the mountain road.
I don't know how long it took to go out again, but I heard the four of them exhale "Phew!" at the same time. ", rein in the horse.
Then I heard someone shouting, "Third master, they're back, third master, they're back!" ”
The strong man who rode the same horse as Zhou Zhi took the lead and reached out to grab Zhou Zhi's belt, "Boy, come down!" "The voice is still as low, but it is dark.
Zhou Zhi was left on the horse and immediately fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Hey, hey! This kid is really a coward, what kind of 'cold-faced person slaughter', if it weren't for the uncle's words, I would have done him a long time ago! ”
Obviously, the one who rode with Zhou Zhi was the one who was called the "third master".
"Third master, you can't underestimate this cub, this cub is scheming and ruthless, don't look at him now that he is honest, but I don't know when he will wake up and become arrogant!" The monkey said flatteringly, and kicked Zhou Zhi hard.
Zhou Zhi was in pain, and scolded in his heart, Monkey, wait, the master will not die today, and he will kill you in the future.
"You kid was just scared by him, and went down with him!" The third master shouted angrily and ordered towards the wilting monkey.
The monkey grinned and pointed to his nose, "Small? ”
"It's you, you kid didn't do anything this time, just followed the blind ink!" The third master shouted.
The monkey was helpless, and only the obedient one carried Zhou Zhi up. He was already short, and his strength was smaller, and he carried Zhou Zhi on his back, as if he was wheezing, which was very laborious.
However, Zhou Zhi was lying on the back of the wilting monkey, and he really felt more comfortable, but he still didn't have any strength around him.
The monkey walked around for about seven or eight minutes, and Zhou Zhi felt bursts of damp cold air constantly attacking.
"Zhou Zhicub, when you get here, just wait for death! Look at you are still arrogant, and you are still bullying me and wilting monkey! The monkey put Zhou Zhi on the ground heavily, then took off Zhou Zhi's hood and took out the rag stuffed in Zhou Zhi's mouth.
Zhou Zhi slowly opened his eyes and breathed a few breaths of cold and humid air vigorously before he felt more comfortable.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and there was a hideous and proud face of the wilting monkey.
"You cub, you will have today, wait, my uncle will kill you in a while!" The monkey glared at Zhou Zhi fiercely, and then slammed the door shut.
The monkey left with a grin, probably with food.
Only then did Zhou Zhi take a closer look at the place where he was, it was a small wooden house, surrounded by logs the thickness of bowls, and under his feet were rotten moldy grass leaves.
It was noon, and occasionally a cold wind blew in, making a "woo...... Woo ......" screams, blowing up the dust that fell to the ground, drifting in the air, making people rise to fear.
Looking out through the fence enclosed by logs, surrounded by reckless green mountains, it is now a harsh winter season, and the bare trees on the mountains add a kind of coldness.
Zhou Zhi understood in a trance that the group of bandits should be a group of bandits.
In Baiyue Village, there are plains within a radius of dozens of miles, and the nearest should be the Taihang Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles. Baiyue Village is also the closest place to Taihang Mountain, and there are no less than seventy or eighty miles of road. It is no wonder that they have been arresting themselves since last night, and they did not arrive until noon the next day. It is no wonder that Liu Hui's brothers could not find them quickly.
Knowing their origins, Zhou Zhi thought about how to escape at this time. Once you find their lair, it's best to find a way to bring someone to catch them after you escape. I don't know what the outcome will be when I do this.
The bandit who was called the "third master" made it clear that they had to wait for the bandit boss to deal with him. They kill people and set fires, and they don't end up in their hands.
Risking oneself and going deep into a wolf's den is not so easy to do.
At this time, there was still no strength in his body, so Zhou Zhi simply closed his eyes and recovered his strength as soon as possible.
Suddenly, there was a sound of slow footsteps from far and near, and Zhou Zhi hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw a tattered and unkempt man walking over with a food box in his hand.
The man stood outside, first looked around, and then whispered, "Boy, it's time to eat!" ”
What the hell are these bandits doing? There was still food to eat, Zhou Zhi didn't think much about it, so he stood up and took the food box from the man.
Whatever, he must be full to recover his strength, Zhou Zhi immediately opened the food box, which contained two cabbage dumplings and a bowl of stewed and rotten cabbage.
The food was naturally too bad, but Zhou Zhi didn't pay attention to it and just ate it.
"Boy, I know you, you are Zhou Zhi, the baby of the Zhou Tie family in Baiyue Village, right?" The person outside did not leave immediately, but asked in a low voice.
Zhou Zhi was taken aback, and then turned his head to look at the man. The man was about forty years old, with a haggard face and sunken eyes, and Zhou Zhi did not know him. However, it seemed that he had no ill will towards him, so Zhou Zhi asked casually, "This uncle, who are you, and how do you recognize the kid?" ”
