Chapter 1089: Strange Smile
Chu Huan looked at a guard and made a gesture to him, the guard saw it clearly, took the dry food from his waist, handed the dry food to Chu Huan, Chu Huan sent the dry food to the old man, and said: "Old man, thanks to your generosity, drink your water, these dry food, you take the ...... first!" ”
The old man looked at the dry food handed over by Chu Huan, his empty eyes, showing surprise, although his body was weak, but Chu Huan's dry food had just approached, his old body suddenly gave birth to strength out of nowhere, his shriveled hand grabbed the bag of dry food, opened the bag and took a look, his eyes were full of joy, but soon, the brilliance on his face gradually disappeared, and the surprise in his eyes disappeared, he handed the bag back, and sighed: "Let's go, you are kind, but kindness may not be rewarded...... !”
Chu Huan didn't take it and asked, "What did the old man say about catching strong men?" ”
The old man obviously had a good impression of Chu Huan, and said, "You have a foreign accent, not a local, don't you know what is happening here?" ”
Chu Huan asked, "What did the old man say?" ”
"Hey......!" The old man sighed, "I heard that there is a new governor in Xiguan, who is very tyrannical and has forced the soldiers to rebel, and the army here in Hezhou has already raised troops to resist the new governor......!" ”
The corners of Chu Huan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked, "The new governor is tyrannical?" But as far as I know, the Governor doesn't seem to be a bad guy. ”
The old man bowed his head and said, "Actually, I don't know what's going on...... A while ago, there was a great plague, and people died everywhere, and several people in our village died from the plague, and they were all waiting to die, but the governor brought a prescription, and everyone escaped, and it stands to reason that the governor is not a bad person, but somehow, it is the other way around...... Hezhou's side is reversed, the governor will definitely bring troops to fight, that General Hu occupies Hezhou City, and then sends people to arrest strong men everywhere, let people repair the city, and let them fight with the governor's army ......! The old man's face was full of helplessness, "One of my sons was arrested, and many people in the village were arrested...... Several, you are all outsiders, and you are not bad people, run quickly, the governor's army is not sure when it will arrive, and when the battle starts, no one will be able to run......! ”
Chu Huan frowned and said, "I heard that the governor has ordered that his army cannot bully the common people......!" ”
The old man saw through the world and smiled, shook his head and said: "This is all deceptive nonsense, I have lived for most of my life, and I have passed through many armies, how can there be an army that does not bully the common people?" It's better to get something......! He shook his head with a wry smile and didn't continue.
Chu Huan knew that the old man didn't want to say something, so he didn't ask much, looked outside the door, and asked, "Old man, the wind and sand outside here are not small, is it like this every year?" ”
The old man looked outside and said: "This is the time of the sixth constant, there is often wind and sand, I have lived in Hezhou since I was a child, the wind and sand here in Hezhou are very frequent, and the sixth constant time is the most ferocious time ...... the wind and sand!" ”
Chu Huan's eyes lit up and asked, "Old man, how long do these six constants last?" ”
The old man thought for a moment and said, "This year's wind and sand is not small, but there are seven or eight more days, and it should be dispersed...... Today is better, in two days, the wind and sand will be even more ......! ”
Chu Huan nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside, and the two guards under Chu Huan immediately realized that they were both carrying packages in their hands, and there were knives in them, and their hands had already reached into the package.
Chu Huan glanced at him and shook his head slightly, the two guards understood what Chu Huan meant, they didn't act rashly, they withdrew their hands, these two guards were dressed ordinarily, their appearance was mediocre, and at a cursory glance, they would make people think that they were just ordinary people.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and soon a voice was heard outside: "There are not many families in this village, just rest here for a while......!" ”
Chu Huan sat next to the old man, staring at the door, and soon, he saw a few more people at the door, first of all, wearing a robe, a belt, and a hat, he was the first to walk in, glanced at it, his brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at Chu Huan, and at this moment, a few people followed up behind this person, one of whom had already said: "Mr. Hei, there is still dry food here, but there is not much water, you can add some water here...... ”
The man in the robe was in his forties, his appearance was not good, his cheekbones were slightly high, he stared at Chu Huan for a moment, and then his face softened, and he entered the house, and said politely: "I'm really sorry, a few of us are passers-by, the wind and sand are strong outside, and we are too tired to hurry, I want to rest here for a while, I don't know if I bother?" ”
The old man said expressionlessly: "As long as you don't dislike it, you can rest here." ”
Mr. Hei, the man in the robe, nodded with a smile, entered the house, and followed up with four people behind him, Chu Huan saw at a glance that although these four people were dressed ordinarily, they were all equipped with knives around their waists, and when they entered the house, these people's eyes swept over Chu Huan and the two guards, showing their senses.
Mr. Hei took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, put it beside the old man, and said gently: "Uncle, let's get some water here, this is the water money ......!" ”
The old man had already shook his head and said, "You can't collect money for drinking water, put it away." ”
"It's already very inappropriate to take the liberty of bothering, please accept this bit of silver!" Mr. Hei said politely.
The old man shook his head, and did not take the money, nor did he speak.
Mr. Hei motioned for someone to go over to the water tank to get water, the two big men glanced at each other, approached the water tank, and when they passed by Chu Huan's subordinates, they were very careful and their eyes were sharp.
"I don't know what to call this one?" Mr. Hei was very kind, looked at Chu Huan and asked.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "They are all passers-by at the end of the world, why do you have to know each other when you meet?" ”
Mr. Hei nodded and sighed: "Why do you have to know each other?" That's a good thing, the Hezhou war is imminent, and a few people should leave here early, so as not to be implicated. ”
Chu Huan let out an "oh" and asked, "Is this gentleman going to leave Hezhou for refuge?" ”
Mr. Hei smiled bitterly: "Exactly." Don't you know, this officer and soldier and the rebel army are about to fight, and those bandits are also waiting for an opportunity to move, just yesterday, we also encountered a ...... of rogues! "I struggled to lift one of my hands," I had been slashed in the arm, and it still hurts so much. ”
"Rogues?"
Mr. Hei nodded, got up, walked towards Chu Huan, and reached out to roll up his sleeves, "Come and see, this knife is really not light, it almost cut off my arm......!" As he spoke, his sleeves rolled up, and he suddenly heard Chu Huan shouting, and his body fell back, and almost at the same time, under Mr. Hei's rolled up sleeves, the leather bracers rolled up on his arms were suddenly revealed, but there was obviously a hidden weapon on the bracers, and at the same time as the sleeves were rolled up, several silver needles had been punched out.
Almost at this time, the two big men who went to the water tank to get water had already pulled out their sabers, and the counter-knives slashed at the two guards, and the two big men also shot at the same time, drawing their knives and slashing at the guards, both of which were flanked before and after, but they seemed to have been prepared, one of the guards turned their bodies dexterously, and the other guard was back to back, protecting each other's backs, and raising their knives to meet them.
Mr. Hei's arm hit a few silver needles, but Chu Huan had already leaned back, and the whole person fell down with the stool under his buttocks, he held the ground with one hand to prevent himself from touching the ground, but his feet had already kicked over according to Mr. Hei's lower abdomen, Mr. Hei didn't seem to expect Chu Huan to react so quickly, his figure quickly flashed back, and the other arm waved, and from under his long sleeves, a puff of smoke suddenly drifted out.
Chu Huan knew that this smoke must be evil, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful of the smoke, hold your breath." A hand had already hooked up the stool, and he smashed it against Mr. Black.
That Mr. Hei's body was very dexterous, floating backwards, and he had already retreated from the house, but Chu Huan was like a shadow, following closely, the speed of the smoke spreading was unusually amazing, Chu Huan held his breath, reached out and grabbed Mr. Hei.
Inside the house, the two guards heard Chu Huan's reminder, knew that the matter was urgent, reacted quickly, blocked the enemy's knife, did not dare to take a breath, and rushed out of the door at the same time.
Several strong men followed out, and after a strong man at the back rushed out, his pace slowed down, as if he was drunk, his body shook, and then the big knife in his hand fell out of his hand, and the man stood in a daze, his eyes were dull, and his eyes were empty, and soon, a very strange smile appeared on his face.
At this time, no one paid attention to him, Mr. Hei's steps were light, Chu Huan was dexterous, the two of them were like two butterflies, Mr. Hei obviously didn't dare to make a hard move with Chu Huan, and Chu Huan was wary of this Mr. Hei still playing tricks, and he was also careful to beware.
Chu Huan made continuous moves, but he felt that the figure of Mr. Black in front of him was both light and very weird, and he vaguely felt that Mr. Black's body seemed to be familiar.
Mr. Hei's four big men, one out of the house, immediately stood outside the door and smirked, the other three were with two guards to fight, big swords, sparks splashed, choking, these two guards were selected from the guard samurai, rich in actual combat experience, is a powerful angle of one as ten, and the other party is not a general, with three against two, but stalemate.
Suddenly, the sound of "hahahaha" sounded, and several people retreated, looking over, only to see the big man standing in front of the door and smirking, his hands were stretched out, and the weird smile on his face was even more obvious.
Whether it was Chu Huan's guards or Mr. Hei's subordinates, they were all surprised when they saw that strange appearance, and they didn't know what kind of nerves that person had.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of "Kerala", but I saw the big man dancing, the joints of the body began to twist extremely, and several people obviously heard the sound of broken bones, and watched the person's body slowly shrink down, and the person's bones seemed to disappear, and the whole person seemed to be only flesh and skin, which quickly sank down and became a pile of terrifying skins.
