Chapter 6: Killing Thieves and Saving People

At dawn, on a road leading to Guiwu in northern Kanbei, two young travelers in ragged clothes walked in the middle, and in front of them was a twelve-year-old boy carrying a package with four wooden javelins under the package, holding a wooden staff, the tip of which was bifurcated, and a dagger at his waist. Behind is a ten-year-old girl, although her clothes are also shabby, but they are much cleaner than those of teenagers, her hair seems to have just been washed, and she is simply bound with a small rope, and her face is also washed white and clean, and she is holding a sweet potato in both hands, and she is eating while walking. It was Wei Zeng and Weizhen who went to Guiwu.

"Brother Wei, the sweet potato given by that aunt is delicious, you can eat a little." Yui Zhen said to Miso with the sweet potatoes that the hostess of the homestay gave her before going out.

"I'm full, eat yourself. Be careful! Wei Zengzheng replied, and suddenly saw four horses galloping past, almost hitting Wei Zhen, and stretched out his hand to pull Wei Zhen aside. Seeing that they had almost bumped into someone, the four horses not only did not apologize, but also let out a whole laugh and walked away. Wei Zeng was very angry, but he couldn't theorize as people drifted away. But Wei Zeng saw that there was a hint of fierceness in the expressions of these four people, and they were all armed with weapons, not like ordinary travelers. Wei Zeng was secretly careful and kept the costumes of several people in mind.

Between Shifeng City and Guiwu City, there were many caravans back and forth, and when he was in Yushan, Wei Zeng was afraid of bandits and cultists, and when he met people, he avoided them, so he had no contact with the caravan. Now the two of them dared to walk on the main road, and they had seen several caravans today. Businessmen are kind to people outside, and although they met Wei Zeng and Weizhen, they saw that they were just two teenagers, but they also greeted them politely. Wei Zeng also heard from the mouths of passing merchants that in recent days, the corpses of many warriors had been found on Yushan Road, most of them were bounty hunters and the like, as well as a few black-clothed people with skulls. Wei Zeng thought of what happened a few days ago, and knew that it was a grudge between a cultist and a samurai, and it had nothing to do with him.

When it was almost noon, Wei Zeng saw a small pass from afar, the mountains on both sides were not tall, and the entire pass was only a hundred meters away. Wei Zeng tied the dagger to his cane and made it into a simple spear. Then quietly touch the pass. Wei Zhen saw Wei Zeng doing this, and he also knew that something was wrong, so he quietly followed Wei Zeng, Wei Zeng hid behind a tree and looked at the pass, but there was no one. But seeing the bird hovering for a long time, it is known that it cannot be passed now. Quietly hiding among the bushes and wanting to wait for the thief to leave before crossing the pass, he rested in the bushes with Weizhen.

Sure enough, after that, a few more teams of people similar to the previous high-rollers passed by, and Wei Zeng secretly guessed who was so unlucky, and was remembered by so many robbers, and the power of the people who were dealing with that formation was not small.

Suddenly, the shouting of killing in the pass was loud, and I saw one person break through the encirclement and rush out on horseback, and then two horsemen followed the pursuit. Maybe this person thinks it's better to escape in the woods, and the direction he came from is exactly where Wei Zeng is. Wei Zeng didn't have a good impression of thieves, but he had never confronted them head-on. Now I was panicked when I saw the two thieves coming, but I knew that if I ran away, I would not be able to outrun the horses. Where you are is not too hidden, when you get to the forest, you can find yourself, it is better to take advantage of the other party's unnoticed, and carry out a sneak attack to hit one person first, and then deal with the other person, there is still a glimmer of life.

Seeing the thieves approaching, Wei Zeng's hand holding the javelins trembled a little, these javelins were sharpened with hardwood, and if they slammed into the thieves who were moving fast on horseback, they could still cause a lot of damage.

"I've already killed a person, it's a big deal to kill another person, what's so scary. I haven't succeeded in my studies, I haven't avenged my mother, and I can't just die. Wei Zeng motivated himself and strengthened his heart, although his hands were still trembling, he had already made up his mind in his heart.

At the very moment when the escapees entered the woods, the two pursuing thieves also entered the woods. Wei Zeng suddenly jumped up, threw out a javelin, and hit the head of a thief, who was pierced by the javelin, fell directly under the horse, and did not live.

Wei Zeng was excited when he saw that he had killed the enemy with one blow, and threw his javelin at the other thieves, but only one shot hit the horse's body. The thief just reined in the horse to calm the horse, and then rode the horse and swung his knife to cut Wei Zeng under the horse.

Wei Zeng didn't dare to fight him, and circled around the woods to fight the enemy, and from time to time he used a simple spear to stab the horse and try to knock the thief off the horse. In the middle of the fight, Wei Zeng saw the knight who had fled into the woods, and looked at this side blankly, but did not come to help.

Wei was anxious and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come to help." The man came to his senses, drew his saber, and came to his aid. I saw that the man was about to slash at the thief with his feet and his horse, and then he was swept off his horse by a branch that came out of the tree, and the knight who fell to the ground, covered his chest with one hand and his buttocks with the other, and groaned uncontrollably.

The thief laughed when he saw this, and he didn't care about him, he wanted to kill Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng secretly scolded the stupid man and hurried to meet the enemy. I saw that the thief raised his knife and fell, so he cut off a piece of Wei Zeng's simple spear, and the spear became a veritable wooden spear. Wei Zeng took advantage of the situation and stabbed the horse in the eye, and the horse was shocked and threw the thief off the horse, and fled in panic.

Wei Zeng followed up with the situation and wanted to give the thief a heart-chill, but as soon as the thief swung his knife, he turned the wooden spear into two short sticks, and injured Wei Zeng's left hand with another swing of the knife. The knight who fell to the ground had already stood up, and slashed at the thief with his sword, and the thief stabbed him, and the knight's sword flew towards the Nine Heavens, and the thief kicked him to the ground. The thief looked at the two who had been defeated, and was about to swing his knife and kill Wei Zeng.

Seeing that his body was stagnant and his face showed a painful look, Wei Zeng took the opportunity to pick up the dagger on the ground, and his right hand gathered all the strength of his body to pierce the enemy's heart, and the enemy showed an incredible expression, and then died. It turned out that Xiao Weizhen quietly picked up the saber of the thief who was killed first by Wei Zeng, and when he saw that the thief wanted to kill Wei Zeng, he quietly sneaked behind him and slashed him. But Wei Zhen is young and weak, and he can't kill with one blow, and he can't solve the battle until Wei Zeng pierces the thief's heart.

Wei Zeng solved the battle, glanced back at the fallen knight, and said secretly in his heart: Compared with you, I am simply a master.

Although he was a little unhappy, he asked him if he was okay. The knight struggled to stand up, the knight quickly thanked Wei Zeng, and ripped off the scarf covering his face, it was a young man about the same age as Wei Zeng, but his face was delicate like a girl, and he looked like a pampered person. Wei Zhen saw that the thief was dead, so he threw down the knife, and when he saw that Wei Zeng's left arm was injured, he hurriedly found some hemostatic herbs, chewed them and applied them to Wei Zeng's wound, and tore off a few strands of cloth to bandage Wei Zeng's wound......

Suddenly, at the pass, the shouts of killing became quieter, and the three of them knew that the battle was over. Judging from the deployment of the thieves, the people in the past were more than lucky. The three of them quickly searched for useful items from the two dead thieves and walked deeper into the woods. When the three of them groped their way out, the body of the thief in the forest was no longer there. The young knight was about to rush to the pass to investigate the situation, but was caught by Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng leaned forward to the pass, except for the corpses, there were several abandoned carriages. Wei Zeng threw stones to ask for directions, hit a few hidden places where people could hide, and after making sure that there was no one, he asked the young knight, who was already impatient, to investigate. I saw it rush over, saw a corpse, and was stunned, so he threw himself up and cried, and kept shouting, "Daddy, Daddy." ”

In the process of getting along before, Wei Zeng had already learned about the situation of the teenager. The boy was originally the son of an ordinary martial artist named Gu Chayi, the martial artist was old and had a son, and he was very fond of his son, although his family was not rich, but he ate and drank closely to his son. Gu Cha also practiced martial arts with his father when he was young, but because he couldn't endure hardships, he didn't learn much better. His parents doted on him and didn't force him, but when he couldn't practice martial arts, he invited a teacher to teach him Xiwen, but he didn't have this piece of material for Xiwen. The father was anxious and felt that it would definitely not work in the future to let his son be abandoned like this, so he expressed to the accompanying caravan that he hoped to let his son follow, and only hoped that his son could experience it so that he could become a talent. The caravan agreed, but unexpectedly, less than a day after returning to Wuwu, it was killed. When the thieves attacked, Guchayi's father put his son on a horse and then stopped the robbers, hoping only that his son would survive. And then that's what happened.

Although Wei Zeng was dissatisfied with Gu Chayi's previous performance in the battle, he was also very uncomfortable when he saw the child who had just lost his father crying. Looking at Gu Chayi, who was crying bitterly, Wei Zeng stepped forward and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, so let's mourn and change." It is better to turn grief and anger into strength, learn the skills well, and avenge your father in the future. Weizhen also stepped forward to comfort him, patted him on the back with his little hand, and persuaded him not to cry.

Gu Chayi suddenly knelt in front of Wei Zeng, saying that he wanted to worship Wei Zeng as a teacher, learn skills from him, and avenge his father in the future. Wei Zeng explained with a wry smile that he didn't know any martial arts at all, and that little skill was all the experience accumulated in hunting, and he was going to Guiwu to learn art. While helping Gu Chayi up. After crying and making a fuss, Gu Chayi finally calmed down. He said that he would bring his father's body back to Wu and bury him again. So the three of them sorted out a scrap car so that it could barely walk, and used Gu Chayi's horse to pull the broken car forward.

Along the way, Gu Chayi didn't cry anymore, and he seemed to have matured a lot overnight, and it may be right that pain can make people grow, but the price of Gu Chayi's growth is too great. Between growing up and the lives of their parents, Wei Zeng, Weizhen and Gu Chayi will undoubtedly choose the latter, but fate did not give them a chance to choose. Along the way, Gu Chayi looked in pain, and his body was also in pain, and as a result, his face was pale as if he was seriously ill. His condition was even worse than when Wei Zhen first traveled with Wei Zeng, and Wei Zeng was a little skeptical that he would be able to reach Guiwu City alive. The girl may be born with loving genes, and in the face of such a weak person, Wei Zhen, who has been taken care of by Wei Zeng, also began to play the role of a nanny.

No one said much along the way, and the atmosphere was a little depressing, but who could bear to laugh and have fun at this time? I had to endure all the way. After a day of hurrying, we finally arrived at Guiwu City. Wei Zeng watched himself go through nearly three months, from the end of summer to late autumn, and finally reached the end of his journey after many twists and turns. In the future, I want to live here with Weizhen, arrange a new life for Weizhen, and learn art myself. Wei Zeng glanced at Wei Zhen, although Wei Zhen was tired from traveling all the way, it was difficult to hide the excitement in his eyes.
