Chapter 010: Hunger and Cold
In fact, Li Xiao didn't want to kill Bai Yan and them, but just used them to buy Li Yong and them time to escape, and he put his life and death out of the way.
Li Xiao thought that Yingxian and the others would not send people to pursue him, but he didn't expect that the knights of the Qin State did not chase Li Yong and them, but came to pursue him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiao finally knew why the knight was chasing him. Because he was injured, he couldn't run far.
"Drive!"
Li Xiao now had to hurry into the woods and find a place to hide, otherwise he would die.
has just been reborn, Li Xiao doesn't want to die so early, otherwise how can he be worthy of his rebirth.
The desire to survive is very strong, Li Xiao's desire to survive is getting stronger and stronger, he tore off a piece of his robe and hugged the injury in his left leg first.
Just now, Li Xiao endured the pain and pulled out the arrow on his leg, and blood immediately flowed.
In an instant, his left trouser leg was dripping with blood, Li Xiao gritted his teeth and bandaged the arrow wound vigorously.
At this time, the horse was still running, and after simply treating the wound, Li Xiao was ready to gamble desperately.
"Drive!"
Li Xiao shouted, and then used his long sword to draw a blood mark on the horse's belly, and the horse's blood slowly flowed down.
When it was too late, Li Xiao suddenly jumped onto a small tree on the right, so he hurriedly climbed the tree and first avoided the pursuit of the five knights of the Qin State.
However, Li Xiao forgot that it was winter, and the Qin State was in the northwest, and the weather was cold.
At this time, Li Xiaoliang's lips were blue, his teeth kept rubbing, and he just didn't dare to go down.
Li Xiao, who was lying on the tree, held his breath after seeing the five knights, he didn't dare to make any moves, otherwise it would be his own disaster.
Looking at the bow and arrow on the knight's shoulder, and then at his thighs, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.
Li Xiao is now only five or six meters away from the knight, and within the shooting range of the bow and arrow, if the knight finds Li Xiao above his head, then Li Xiao will die.
"Look around, the blood is gone here, he should be around here." One of the knights dismounted, looked at the blood that crawled on the ground, and said to the others.
Li Xiao, who was lying on the tree, heard the knight's words and remembered that he was careless.
In fact, when Li Xiao was about to bandage, he should have made a stroke on the horse's back, so that the knight would think that it would be his own blood.
The other knight said, "Look ahead, maybe he bandaged his wounds during this time." ”
Hearing this knight's words again, Li Xiao was so moved that he almost cried, and he was very happy.
So, the five knights found blood not far away, and they really mistook the horse blood for Li Xiao's blood as Li Xiao thought.
Seeing the five knights following the horse's blood, Li Xiao didn't come down from the tree until they were far away.
After coming down from the tree, the first thing Li Xiao had to do was to clean up the bloodstains, believing that the five knights would soon find the horses.
Li Xiao walked with difficulty, collected all his blood and the blood of the horse, and walked for about a hundred meters before Li Xiao stopped.
After packing up everything, Li Xiao wanted to find a place to hide, there was definitely no way to stay in the tree, and those knights would definitely look at the tree.
Li Xiao began to walk aimlessly, looking for places in the woods that could be hidden, such as deep pits or other places.
After searching for about ten minutes, Li Xiao finally found a deep pit thirty meters away from the bloodstains, where he could hide under the leaves.
There was no time to delay, the knight could rush back at any time, and Li Xiao used both hands to open the leaves of the roe deer.
Li Xiao hurriedly lay down in the deep pit, and then covered his body with leaves, after doing all this, he could finally rest with peace of mind.
Then came the sound of horses' hooves, and the knights had returned, and they must have come to look for them.
"That man is so cunning to mislead us with horse blood." A knight said angrily.
Another knight said: "He buried the blood here, it seems that he has just been here, he is nearby, and he is searching." ”
Li Xiao's eyes showed a slit, just enough to see the situation outside, and he watched the knight's movements.
Sure enough, the knights looked up first to see if there was anyone in the trees.
"He should have been hiding in a tree just now, but we were really just looking at the blood on the ground, and now we don't know where he is hiding." One of the knights said to the others.
"Hindsight!" Li Xiao said silently in his heart.
I saw other people holding long swords, sticking into the dead leaves in the ground, looking for themselves.
Seeing this, Li Xiao began to be afraid, because those knights were searching in his direction, and sooner or later they would find themselves.
But Li Xiao still had a fluke mentality, he didn't choose to run away and surrender, because he knew that both results would be death.
Li Xiao knows the customs of the Qin people, everyone is fierce, and the soldiers of the Qin State are even more so.
To see the knight approaching step by step, Li Xiao is like an ant on a hot pot, in a hurry.
At this time, a sharp whistle sounded, and the knight was only five or six meters away from Li Xiao.
As the whistle blew, they all stopped and immediately mounted their horses.
"There's an accident on the general's side, let's go over and take a look, and we'll come back and continue looking for it later." A knight said.
The five knights mounted their horses together, then galloped away and left the woods.
Before leaving, the horse's hooves stepped on Li Xiao's injured left leg, and Li Xiao endured the pain and did not dare to make a sound.
With the knight walking away, Li Xiao still didn't dare to come out, who knew when the other party would come back.
Immediately out of the woods, one of the knights said, "Haha, brother, what a plan to let that man starve to death in the woods and be eaten by tigers." ”
In fact, the whistle meant gathering, Qin Xian and the others had already packed up the food and let them pass.
Another knight said angrily: "He led people to burn our nearly 200 stone of military rations, so that he was eaten by tigers." ”
After leaving the woods, the five knights returned to Jiayuguan, and they would not come to the woods again at all, because there was no time to search Li Xiao specifically.
It's a pity that Li Xiao couldn't hear the conversation of these knights, otherwise Li Xiao would have been angry and tricked.
After coming out, the knight saw that Win Hyun and they had already crashed the grain, and Win Hyun and they were all in place.
Looking at the knight coming out of the woods, Yingxian asked, "How is it?" ”
A knight tells Young-hyun about the cause and effect of the incident, and Young-hyun smiles and doesn't speak, and then lets them get on the horse.
Five knights sat in the carriage, and the rest rode around to protect the rations.
Yingxian, who was at the forefront, said, "Actually, I shouldn't have let you go. ”
"Why? Checkmate! A knight from the woods asked.
"Because he's too smart." Ying Xian replied with a smile: "I should have thought a long time ago, you can't catch him at all, and it's a waste of time." ”
Saying that, Yingxian and they rushed to Jiayuguan, only Li Xiao was still in the woods.
