Heavy snow in the north always accumulates after the first snowfall, and it does not gradually melt until the next spring when the warm spring flowers bloom. On the ditch two feet away in front of the outer wall of the pot, although it was covered a little with withered branches and wheat grass, but after two heavy snowfalls, those withered branches and wheat grass that could not bear the amount had collapsed slightly. fell into the eyes of people like Han Liangpin and Xiang Youbao, and the original murder trap suddenly had nothing to hide.

Holding on to the edge of the trench, Han Liangpin looked at the trench that couldn't see the depth at all, reached out and found a wayfinding stone tied with a cow tendon rope from the family bag behind his waist, and slowly fell down the edge of the trench. When he felt that the Asking Stone had fallen to the bottom of the trench, Han Liangpin swung his wrist and gently swayed the Asking Stone and fiddled around in the trench a few times, listening to the movement of the Asking Stone when it hit many objects in the trench, and after a while, he gently withdrew the Asking Stone in his hand.

Looking up at the figure swaying back and forth on the wall, Han Liangpin turned his head and whispered to Xiang Youbao who climbed beside him: "Xiangye, I didn't hear the crisp sound of the wayfinding stone hitting the ice in this trench, it is estimated that it is a dry ditch, but the bottom of the ditch should also have hit a sharp pile or something." I wondered, why don't we cross this trench in a hurry? ”

Also looking up at the figure swaying back and forth on the wall, Xiang Youbao nodded slightly: "Let's go down to the bottom of the trench?" There are so many dead branches and wheat grass on our heads to help us cover up, but this is blocking our ears and eyes? ”

Parting the two silver horns towards the back of his waist, Han Liangpin quickly stretched out his hands towards Xiang Youbao: "Take advantage of the fact that the people on the wall haven't come, you drag me, I'll go down first!" ”

didn't give in to Han Liangpin, Xiang Youbao neatly pulled the snake tooth cone into his sleeve, and tightly grasped Han Liangpin's outstretched slap with both hands. But Han Liangpin was at the moment when his hands were held by Xiang Youbao. His whole body shook against the ground, and his backbone swung lightly against the edge of the trench.

The trench is not too deep, it is almost the height of one person and one foot in one hand, and it is appropriate to be able to keep people from falling into it and not being able to get up easily. Relying on the strength borrowed from Xiang Youbao's hands, Han Liangpin, who was on tiptoe, didn't exert much effort, and his toes had already reached the frozen and hardened soil under the trench.

Cover the withered branches and straw on the top of your head. In the trench where no light penetrates at all, even Han Liangpin has practiced a pair of night eyes, but he can't see anything. groping and slowly squatting down, Han Liangpin took out a pair of silver horns pinned to his waist and slowly swept them against the ground in front of him. It's just the size of a square inch, and a pair of silver horns have already encountered several sharp piles that are deeply rooted in the hard soil.

Sitting on the ground, Han Liangpin stretched his toes and slowly kicked a few sharp stakes, and finally vacated a small piece of territory that could stand on people, and then raised his head and whispered to Xiang Youbao who was lying on the edge of the trench: "Xiangye, you hold the edge of the trench and slowly settle down downward." I'll take care of it for you down there. The ditch is full of sharp piles, and the boundary that can stand people is not large, so you must be careful! ”

With a low promise, Xiang Youbao rubbed on the edge of the trench for a while, and then slowly slipped down the edge of the trench, and stood in front of Han Liangpin against the edge of the trench, but he groped and stuffed a wax pill the size of a walnut into Han Liangpin's hand, and whispered to Han Liangpin: "Master Han." Do you gently cut out a small hole in this wax pill? ”

Without hesitation, Han Liangpin's fingers were slightly forced. Stuffed the wax pill in his hand with the black and stuffed the leopard into his hand, and pulled out a hole the size of a broad bean. I didn't know what kind of strange monsters were stuffed in the wax pill, so Han Liangpin pulled his fingers out of the hole, and a dim light of green oil had already illuminated the ground around Han Liangpin's side two feet away from the hole the size of a broad bean.

Without waiting for Han Liangpin to ask, Xiang Youbao had already turned over his hand and found another walnut-sized wax pill from the bag behind his waist, and also reached out and picked a hole the size of a broad bean on the wax pill. Only then did he whisper to Han Liangpin: "This thing is something that my predecessors in the main gate of the fire pondered, and it is specially used to illuminate it when drilling in the forest at night and touching things." The wax pill is made of luminous insects (one of the common names of fireflies) taken from the body of those who can light up when they see the wind, just such a wax pill, which can be used for half an hour! ”

Holding the glowing wax pill and shining at the dense stakes in front of his feet, Han Liangpin stretched out his foot and kicked the stakes that were not too strong. He lowered his voice and whispered: "Xiangye, look at the sharp piles in this trench, as long as you are more careful under your feet, you really can't hurt us!" Then let's go separately, and with the objects in our hands that can hit the distance, we will first pick up the people on the wall that we can see? ”

I took out a few fragments of jujube wood and two iron bow arms mixed with copper and rotten silver from the bag behind my waist, and then pinched out two strands of cow tendon mixed with gold wire and a bowstring made of human hair from the belt, and the leopard put the two Fuhu crossbows together in front of Han Liangpin, and then pulled out more than 20 eagle-beak crossbow arrows with chopsticks thickness and curly feathers from the side of the boots, and said to Han Liangpin, who also felt all kinds of bits and pieces from his body: "Then let's still take the fox song as the number, and gather and scatter alone. Rushing in and out? ”

Nodding his head violently, Han Liangpin turned his head and walked towards the end of the trench. With the fluorescence from the walnut-sized wax pill, Han Liangpin avoided the spikes under his feet without any confusion, but after a moment of effort, Xiang Youbao could no longer see the fluorescence that Han Liangpin held in his hand.

Walking towards the other end of the ditch, Xiang Youbao gently stretched out his hand and poked a palm-sized hole in the dead branches and wheat grass covered above his head, lay on the edge of the ditch, raised the tiger crossbow in his hand, and aimed at a figure who was stretching his neck and looking around the wall from the gap in the lookout mountain on the crossbow's body.

The Fuhu crossbow that can only be used when hunting fierce beasts in the main gate of the fire, although it looks like a crossbow bow arm that is only half an arm long, and the crossbow arrow is as long as chopsticks, but the crossbow bow arm is powerful and powerful, and the bowstring is flexible, and almost all of them can shoot through the thick skin of wild boars ten zhang away. In addition, the crossbow arrow feathers are made of curly feathers, and there is no movement at all when they fly out, which is really difficult to prevent!

Before the Qing Dynasty, the crossbows and bows in the main gate of the fire had to be reported before the case of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and even the number of crossbows and arrows had to be checked from time to time. Whenever a crossbow is lost and the number of crossbow arrows does not match, to say the least, you have to get a heavy board in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, and if you don't make trouble, you have to go back and forth in the prison!

Taking a deep breath, the leopard waited for a cold wind that swept past the ground to gradually weaken, and then gently pulled the spring lock under the crossbow. With the faint sound of the bowstring flicking, the black crossbow bolts suddenly shot out silently.

It was as if a silent thunderbolt shattered the heavenly spirits, and the figure standing behind the wall and looking around with its neck stretched out suddenly trembled, and fell from the wall into the courtyard wall. With the heavy muffled sound of falling to the ground, in the originally silent pot burning courtyard wall, there was a sudden exclamation that Xiang Youbao didn't understand at all: "Injiro, what's wrong with you?" Slipped? ”

Listening to the chaotic and small footsteps in the courtyard wall of the burning pot, the leopard didn't move at all, but pulled the crossbow string away and reloaded a crossbow arrow on the crossbow.

It seemed that the crossbow bolt that had fallen deep into the flesh from the corpse that had fallen from the top of the wall had been discovered, and the people in the wall of the pot burning courtyard were in a commotion, but there was a sudden silence under the shouting of a rough voice.

Like a mouse that knew that the old cat was on his side, but still coveted the food in the kitchen, one figure after another showed half of his head from the courtyard wall, and looked around at the movement outside the courtyard wall. Perhaps because he couldn't see anything strange in the snow outside the courtyard wall, a figure hiding behind the courtyard wall stretched out his head slightly, and shouted in Japanese to the outside of the courtyard wall: "Oshima, Kameda, are you there?" ”

Although he couldn't understand what the figure on the wall was calling for, Xiang Youbao did not hesitate to pull the spring lock on the Fuhu crossbow towards the head that exposed the wall. After a terrible scream, the shadowy figures on the wall suddenly disappeared cleanly, and the chaotic shouting Japanese voice rang out again: "Is it a bow and arrow?" ”

"It's a crossbow! The best crossbow can only shoot a target within fifty meters, and the enemy should be lurking in the snow just outside the wall! ”

"I can't see anything unusual, there's nothing on the snow"

"Light the torches, shall you?"

"Are you a fool? Or are you afraid that the crossbow outside the wall will not be able to see us clearly?! ”

In the chaotic shouting, from the other direction of the pot wall, several continuous screams suddenly came. After a few moments, a faint shout also pierced with the wind: "There is an enemy!" I can't see where it is! Come on, come on."

Regardless of the meaning of the random shouting behind the wall, the leopard pinched the wax pill in his hand to illuminate it, walked out a distance along the trench, and once again aimed at a figure with half of his body exposed from behind the wall from the gap in the crossbow on the lookout mountain!

As if he felt that he could not be beaten so inexplicably, after a moment of screaming on the wall and shouting behind the wall, wheat straw balls stained with foreign oil and stuffed with stones were set on fire and thrown out one after another from behind the wall, and scattered on the snow ten feet away outside the wall, illuminating the surrounding situation.

And above the wall, the muzzles of long and short guns with hard fire, like snake eyes watching its prey, quietly exposed, slowly swaying from side to side, obviously looking for possible opponents within the range of the crossbow.

In response to the old saying that the lamp is dark, although the boundary outside the wall is illuminated by those wheat straw balls stained with foreign oil, the boundary near the left of the wall is still pitch black. Steadily raised the two Tiger Crossbows, and the leopard pulled the spring lock on the two Tiger Crossbows almost at the same time!
