"I don't know, it's just a guess, but the enemy is cunning and can't make more preparations." He Yuan sat on a boulder, smoking a dry cigarette while looking into the distance.

In the evening, the third group of men and horses, led by Xiong Dadao and Xiao Li, arrived. Seeing He Yuan, he asked anxiously: "How is it, it's not too late, right?" ”

He Yuan recounted the battle of "hijacking arms" that took place in the morning, and everyone was also puzzled, and was discussing the next move, when suddenly the little ghost ran back out of breath. A pair of broken shoes worn under his feet were lost, and when he saw He Yuan, he said breathlessly: "There is a situation." ”

"Speak slowly, don't rush." Xiao Li handed over the water hyacinth.

Xiao Jiling took a breath, drank half a gourd of water, wiped his mouth and said: "Sure enough, Teacher He has foresight, more Zhuge Liang than Zhuge Liang, before I walked to the town, I saw a team of relatives and drove over." ”

"The send-off party?" Xiaobai is still a big kid and didn't figure it out.

"That's right," the little wit said: "Originally, the team to send relatives is no longer ordinary, the daughter gets married, and the mother's family will send the red makeup of the dowry to the husband's house, which is lively." But I was instructed by Mr. He, I didn't dare to be careless, and after a careful look, I realized that something was wrong. In this group, neither playing drums, nor any people laughing, but the eyes are staring around, there are a lot of things to dowry, six carriages are loaded, and the rest of the people are riding high-headed horses, so many dowries, although they are not enough for ten miles of red makeup, but they are also magnificent enough, what is strange is that other people's families send relatives, they try to separate things in bulk, and the team is longer, so as to show that the mother's family is rich, and there are many dowries, so as to attract people's attention and sell a pomp, but this team is gathered tightly together, The carriage was full of stuff, and it was hard for two mules to pull it. ”

"Yes, great," He Yuan said happily, "You deserve to be called a little clever." ”

"Hehe," the little ghost continued, "I hid on the side of the road, and saw that this group of people were all young and strong, and few of them were older, especially if there were no female dependents, which made people even more suspicious. ”

"How many people are there?" He Yuan asked.

"There are more than forty."

Xiong Dadao said: "It seems that the enemy has indeed played a trick. Lao He, what should we do? ”

He Yuan said: "We have few people, we can't grab it, we should stare at it first, and then look for an opportunity to start." Little Ghost, do you see them with weapons? ”

"No," the little ghost thought for a moment, "but maybe they're going to carry them right away, and most of them have backpacks or bags, and who knows what's in them?" The carriage was covered with a red cloth and tied tightly, by the way, let's get out of the way, and in a while, the team will come. ”

"Spread out." He Yuan and Xiong Dadao commanded everyone and hid behind the rocky trees next to them. The terrain here is complicated, and when everyone scatters on both sides, they all hide themselves.

He Yuan and Xiong Dadao, who had just been hidden, were hiding behind a high post, and suddenly saw a little monkey, jumping and running over from the side of the road, Xiong Dadao became nervous, "Lao He, this is a monkey raised by a flying mountain monkey, and he understands human nature and can reconnoiter the situation." ”

"We have to lure it away," He Yuan knew that Xiong Dadao was a master of courage, no matter what kind of enemy, he had never seen him nervous, but this little monkey made Xiong Dadao nervous, he understood that this little monkey, if it was about reconnaissance skills, it was actually much stronger than people, if it found the people hiding on the side of the road, it was likely to cause a big deal.

He beckoned to the little ghost, who was very clever and jumped out of the roadside, threw a rock at the monkey, and then turned around and ran. The little monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, turned his head to look at the little ghost, and when he saw him running into the distance, he jumped vertically, aimed at the shadow of the little ghost, and chased after him.

Seeing that the little clever man had lured the monkey away, He Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, condescendingly, and monitored the road. Sure enough, after a while, I saw a group of people and horses walking in the distance, more than ten people riding horses in front, six carriages in the middle, beside the car, behind the car, followed by more than 30 people on foot, the carriages were tightly covered with red cloth, and there were big red happy characters.

This group of "relatives" team walked very fast, wading up a cloud of smoke and dust on the main road, and when they came closer, He Yuan carefully observed, and sure enough, he found that as the little wit said, it was more like an army, not like an ordinary family, these people in civilian clothes, skilled riding, chest and back, it can be seen that they are well-trained. It is far from the scene of ordinary people's mixed men, women and children.

The team quickly walked over, and under He Yuan's arrangement, the bald head and another little beggar, as the first stalkers, followed behind the "sending relatives" procession, and the rest of the people stared at it from afar. He Yuan kept instructing, "You must not be exposed, and you must not get too close." ”

The people who followed were sent out in batches, and in the end, only He Yuan and Xiaobai remained. At this time, the little ghost returned, and he said excitedly, "I have crossed a river, and the little monkey has no choice but to return." ”

"Okay." He Yuan nodded. Sitting on the side of the road, he lit his cigarette pouch again.

"Teacher He, aren't we going to follow it?" Xiaobai was a little anxious.

"No, we can't lose them, let's wait for news from Dajiang and Shisuo."

Da Jiang took a dozen workers and students, trotted all the way, searched for the marks made by Duan Laosan in front, tracked down, and at noon, he saw Ah Bing, who was staying behind to contact.

"Quick, they're ahead." Ah Bing said.

Regardless of fatigue and hunger, everyone rushed forward in one go, and the path forked into the mountain, becoming narrower and more winding, and soon, they caught up with Shi Suo and Duan Laosan. A huge rock on the side of the road, on which the stone lock was lying on it, and he put his hand on the canopy, looking ahead.

In front, there is a rugged mountain road, turning around, uneven, Duan Laosan saw Dajiang and others coming, waved his hand backwards, signaling concealment. Da Jiang and the others understood, and they all used the terrain on the side of the road to lie down, use the terrain to cover, and move forward, Duan Laosan called Da Jiang to his side, and together with Ah Bing, he quietly walked behind the rock on the side of the road, and lay down beside Shi Suo, Shi Suo pointed forward, "Look." ”

In front, a team of thirty or forty people was resting, the carriage stopped on the road, several people gathered around the carriage, gesturing and talking about something, and the rest of the soldiers were sitting on the grass on the hillside beside them, at this time, two people stepped forward to untie the ropes on the carriage.

"What are they going to do? Do you want to inspect the cargo? Stone Lock whispered as he stared at the enemy in front of him.

More soldiers got up to untie the ropes of the three carriages and unload the horses pulling the carts. ”

Indeed, the mountain roads became more and more rugged and narrow, and it became more and more difficult for horse-drawn carriages to walk, so it was better to use horses to carry goods. I saw that the soldiers in front of them unloaded the car, untied the coarse cloth on the car layer by layer and withdrew, and here, Dajiang, Shi Suo and others also stared at the soldiers and the carriage with wide eyes.

The coarse cloth was lifted open, revealing the cloth pockets inside, and the soldiers removed the bags, and the officer walked over, untied one of the pockets, and suddenly let out an "ah".

The soldiers got up one after another, took the goods on the carriage, untied their pockets, and after a while, the chaotic scolding came, "Damn, I've been fooled." "It's broken, why are it all broken firewood?" "Bastard, you lied to us."

The mountain wind passed the scolding and exclamations of the soldiers, and Shi Suo and the others also widened their eyes, although they were far away and couldn't see the things in their pockets, but from the chaotic scolding in front and the expressions of the soldiers, it had been seen that the three hijacked carriages were not arms, but fake goods, and this team that fought a "beautiful ambush battle" was fooled.

"Withdraw," Duan Laosan said decisively.

Everyone bent their waists, retreated backwards, and while retreating, they whispered, and Shi Suo asked Duan Laosan puzzled, "What's going on." ”

"The trap set by the Flying Mountain Monkey and Shang Huaiqing and others," Duan Laosan said, "use fake arms to trick people into robbing them, and then smuggle the real arms over." These guys are really scheming. ”

"What about real weapons?" Stone Lock's eyes narrowed.

Duan Laosan said: "I estimate that the real arms are likely to follow the fake arms, because, with so many goods, they can only take the main road, and after the fake arms are robbed, the real arms will soon pass quietly, and they are also afraid of long nights and dreams." ”

"Then let's go."

The group followed behind the stone lock, took a big stride, and ran all the way along the mountain road, and soon came to the fork in the road, where He Yuan and Xiaobai were waiting.

On the boulder on the side of the road, He Yuan looked calm, smiling and smoking, Xiaobai stood on the side of the road and looked around, seeing Shi Suo, Dajiang and others coming back, He Yuan knocked the cigarette ash and said, "Why are they all back?" ”

"Fooled." Shi Suo wiped his sweat and said angrily.

He Yuan smiled, "We already know," he jumped down from the boulder, "Let's go, the real arms have passed through this road, the old bear is staring, let's catch up." ”

"Really? That's great. The expression on Shi Suo's face cleared up again, and he became excited again.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let them run." Regardless of fatigue, everyone was clamoring one after another.

In the evening, the group of "relatives" quietly went up a hillside, set up tents, and camped in a small forest on the slope.

The wagons were unloaded, the six wagons were concentrated in the middle of a few tents, the horses were tied to trees, and sentinels were sent in all directions. Xiong Dadao and others, who were quietly monitoring from behind, took advantage of the darkness to make repeated observations, and found that the armor was very tight and it was difficult to start.

Shi Suo said: "I think, it's better to attack hard, suddenly touch it at night, and hit him cold." ”
