After discussing with He Yuan and others, Professor Wan decided to set off immediately. Shi Suo had to go along, he said: "Professor Wan can't do it without a bodyguard, anyway, I am not good at the willow weaving you did, I have made several of them, all of them are waste, so let me be Professor Wan's bodyguard." ”

The two of them cleaned up and hit the road. Sun Xiaobo sent two horses, both of which were short and strong and good at walking long roads. Two people rode and rode along the road in the direction of Hengyang, where Wu Peifu garrisoned.

Along the way, the two were cautious, in addition to avoiding various armies, but also to avoid bandits and thieves, Professor Wan said with emotion: "Now, the world is chaotic, bandits have become a major scourge of the country, especially here in Hunan, bandits have been prevalent since ancient times, the more turbulent the times, the more rampant. ”

As he was talking, there was a "tom" sound in front of him, which seemed to be the sound of a shotgun or a firecracker.

"Oops, if you say bandits, come bandits."

Looking ahead, there was a hill in front of them, and the woods on the side of the road were luxuriant, and the two urged the horses to speed up their pace, wanting to pass quickly. Suddenly, I heard a faint voice on the hill, and Shi Suo said, "It's not good, it's like a shout of killing, it's in that wood." ”

"Leave him alone, get out of here."

The sound of shouting and killing became clearer and clearer, mixed with the "crackling" sound of knives, guns and clubs, and gradually moved from the woods to the outside of the woods, and when Shi Suo and Professor Wan approached the edge of the woods on horseback, they saw more than ten people, fighting with machetes, spears, and iron whips, while scolding and shouting angrily, beating from the woods to the outside of the woods, blocking the road.

These more than ten people, all twenty or thirty years old sturdy men, wearing all kinds of coarse cloth trousers, one of them with a short gun, ran to the side, to the side of the gun, to fill the gun with gunpowder, suddenly, from the crowd of fighting, snatched out a person, holding a machete, straight to the man with a short gun, the man saw someone attacking, did not care about the gunpowder, got up and ran, along the road, straight to the side of Shi Suo and Professor Wan.

Shi Suo and Professor Wan looked at this group fight, and didn't want to do much, so they turned their horses and hid on the side of the road. "Looks like he wants to take the horse.

The stone lock was on fire, because he wanted to hide the traces, he didn't bring the Hanyang gun, but when he saw that the person with the short gun was so unreasonable, he couldn't help but get angry, and he flicked the horse, dodged the smashing of the iron gun, jumped off the horse "suddenly", and smashed the head of the person with the short gun with a punch, and the man was taken aback when he saw that the stone lock was brave, and quickly dodged backwards.

At this moment, the man with the machete was running over, and saw that the man with the short gun wanted to take the horse, but was stopped by the stone lock, quickened his pace, raised the machete, and killed it, and the man with the machete did not care about taking the horse, turned a corner and fled, the man with the machete glanced at the stone lock and Professor Wan, and found that the two horses were strong, and no longer chased the man with the short gun, but his eyes were glaring, and he took the knife and slashed at the stone lock, and shouted in his mouth: "Leave the horse." ”

"Fart," Shi Suo scolded, dodging the machete sideways, flying up and kicking the man with the knife to the ground, reaching out and snatching his machete.

Professor Wan looked around and saw that the short-shot man who had run away had already filled the gunpowder and wanted to aim this way, so he hurriedly shouted to Shi Suo, "Hurry up." ”

"None of this is a good thing." Shi Suo scolded, turned over on the horse, protected Professor Wan, and rushed forward, in front, this group of people who were fighting, still fighting violently, scolding, shouting, and screaming of the injured were loud, Shi Suo was in front, Professor Wan was behind, and when he encountered someone who was in the way, Shi Suo didn't care about three seven twenty-one, raised his knife and cut two or three, these people saw that he was brave, and they got out of the way.

The two horses rushed away from the group of fighting people, ran through the woods, and saw that they had escaped, and the stone lock breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, he heard a strange sound in his ears, and quickly ducked down, and the wind sounded, and a feathered arrow grazed his ears.

And the enemy! Shi Suo hurriedly turned his head to look for it, and sure enough, he found that diagonally ahead, there was a large oak tree on the side of the road, with lush branches, and there was a thin man, riding on the branch, and was stretching his bow and arrows, at this time, the second arrow was shooting at him.

Shi Suo was prepared, but before the feather arrow arrived, he slashed it down, Shi Suo's heart was on fire, and he said: You are fighting, and we don't want to participate, what are you doing at me? With his legs between his legs, he rushed towards the man who was riding on a tree branch.

The archer riding on the branch of the tree saw that the stone lock was flying, screamed, jumped off the tree, and ran into a miscellaneous forest, the stone lock rode to the edge of the woods, the woods were dense, and the horse was not easy to enter, he stopped for a while, and suddenly his mind turned, and secretly shouted: "Oops, I only care about chasing the enemy, how can I forget Professor Wan." ”

He quickly turned the horse's head, turned back to look for Professor Wan, but found no trace of Professor Wan, this time he was in a hurry, secretly scolded himself for being confused, looked around, on both sides of the road, there were hillside woods, horses could not pass, the stone lock galloped straight forward, turned a corner, and found a horse in front of him, walking along the mountain road, at a glance it was Professor Wan's horse, and there were two people on the horse, the one riding the horse was wearing a black cloth shirt and trousers, and Professor Wan was wearing a gray cloth robe was on the horse.

Oh no, Professor Wan was caught. The stone lock urged the horses and hurried after them. This section of the road, the hills on both sides are not high, but they are all more than one person high stones, just like a chaotic stone formation, the road is also rugged, the stone lock is anxious, and he can't help urging the horses, the mountain road is not more than the flat road, the horse can not gallop, and the stone lock is in a hurry to sweat.

A black stone, flying from the side of the road, smashed the head of the horse of the stone lock, the head of the stone lock knife forward, knocked down the stone, and then, behind the rocks on the side of the road, "swish, swish," and flew out of several stones, smashed to the stone lock together, the stone lock waved the knife for a while, but could not stop the many stones, his own body and the horse's body, were smashed in several places, although there was no big problem, but it was also very painful, the horse was smashed to "squeal" scream.

"******, why is there an ambush here?" Shi Suoyuan opened his eyes and saw two ghostly people poking out from behind the rocks, but at this time, Shi Suo learned a lesson and knew that if he was entangled here, he would inevitably delay the rescue of Professor Wan, so he urged the horse forward and ran straight in the direction of Professor Wan.

Behind him, there was a strange sound of wind, and Shi Suo's body leaned forward sharply, and two feather arrows flew in from his head. The stone lock did not return, and the horse galloped.

The horse in front of him was carrying two people, the pony was good at walking, but not good at carrying weights, so he did not run fast, and the stone lock chased after him quickly, and in a moment he chased him head to end, and the black-clothed horseman turned his horse's head and ran diagonally up the hillside.

The hillside here is a gentle slope, the slope is also full of rocks, and there are sparse miscellaneous trees, the horse walks in, turns east and west, and advances very slowly, the stone lock looks, jumps off the horse, strides forward, but faster than the horse, the horse in front of the two people, and then climbs uphill, it is very difficult, the stone lock catches up with an arrow step, the short machete in his hand picks up, and splits to the man in black from behind.

The black-clothed man was in sharp shape, rolled on his side, dodged the knife of the stone lock, got down from the horse, took a saber in his hand, turned back to resist the stone lock, the machete that the stone lock had just captured, although it was slightly shorter, but the blade was wide and thick, and it was very weighty, similar to the woodcutter's firewood knife, and the slender saber of the man in black collided, taking advantage of the weight, the two knives collided, the stone lock force was large, and the saber of the man in black fell to the ground.

The man in black saw that he couldn't beat Shi Suo, so he ran away, Shi Suo was not reckless this time, he didn't chase, at this time, Professor Wan fell off his horse, Shi Suo ran over to help him up, and asked, "How is it?" Hurt? ”

"It's fine."

Before the words fell, a large net fell from the sky, this net was more than five feet wide, smaller than the ordinary fishing net, but the net was slender, almost invisible in the sun, and silent, and covered the two people of Shi Suo and Professor Wan at once, and when Shi Suo realized that something was wrong, it was too late to dodge, the net was tightened, his arms and legs were bound, he couldn't move, and Professor Wan was huddled together, and fell to the ground.

"Haha," "Hehe," a smug laugh rang out from all around, and from behind the rocks, several people came out, some wearing peasants' coarse cloth clothes and trousers, some wearing plate belts around their waists, and some wearing broken military hats.

A short and fat man with a mustache, holding a net in his hand, tightened the net mouth vigorously, opened his big mouth and smiled: "It's wonderful, the eldest and the second are busy fighting, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and also captured two meat tickets and captured two horses, haha." ”

"Search them for money." A lewd-looking man walked over with a grin, and reached out to pick the pocket of the stone lock. The mustache snorted: "Slow down, this kid knows martial arts, don't let him run." As he spoke, he tightened the net opening, and then used a rope to tie Professor Wan and Shi Suo two or three times, and they really couldn't run, so they stopped.

The lewd man kicked Professor Wan, "******, at first glance, it's from the city, this time let's get some oil and water." ”

"Fuck your mother," Shi Suo scolded, "Hurry up and let us go, or we'll get you bandits to pieces." ”

"Let it go, all right," said the obscene-looking fellow, not angry, but grinning, "let your family take a ransom of two thousand oceans, and then let you go." ”

Professor Wan fell to the ground, looked sideways at the group of bandits, and said calmly: "Listen, we are sent by Zhang Dujun to go on a business trip, and we want a ransom, although we go to the Overseer's Mansion to ask for it, I am afraid that you don't have the courage to do this, if you know each other, let us go, the well water does not violate the river water, if you play a bachelor, who is Zhang Dujun, you may also have heard of it." ”

The mustache looked at the two of them suspiciously, "You might as well say that President Xu sent it, which turtle to bluff." ”

"Haha, you were sent by the Jade Emperor, right?" "Hehe, Zhang Dujun, Li Dujun Lao Tzu doesn't buy it." The bandits next to him screamed strangely.

Shi Suo and Professor Wan's two horses were led by the bandits, and the cloth bags on the saddle were filled with entangled items, and the bandits were elated, rummaging through the "seized" things, giggling, and the lewd man smiled at the mustache and said: "Third master, let's be smart, don't fight with the eldest and the second and them for the broken brand of Raushzi, hide aside and make a fortune secretly." How can we be so smart? The boy seemed to be a money-addict, and turned out all the items in his stone lock bag, and spread them on the ground and looked at them with a greedy look.

"Let's go, let's go, the boss and the second will be finished in a while, it's time to beat us." A small bandit with a long bow on his back looked in the direction of the fight over there and said to the mustache. This man was the one who was riding on a tree and shooting arrows at the stone locks.

"What's the hurry, the fight over there is so lively, let's see if it's going to be lively before leaving." An old voice next to him said.

"What is there to see. Let's go. The mustache pointed to Professor Wan and Shi Suo, who had fallen to the ground, and said, "Take these two meat tickets away." ”

"I think, let's wait a while."

The mustache heard that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he found that on a boulder next to him, there was a thin man, who was about forty or fifty years old, thin and withered, with a goatee on his chin, and his hair was thin, and he looked like a rustic little old man in the countryside, sitting cross-legged on a stone, holding a black stick in his hand, the top was curved, like a cane, and conspicuously, he was carrying a big gourd behind his back, his body was thin, the gourd was large, and the head and tail of the gourd were exposed from the shoulders and under the waist.

"Huh?" The obscene-looking man said strangely, "When will an old monkey come out?" Hey, who are you? Where did the water dry up and expose you? ”

The group of bandits also shouted: "Where did the wild goods come from? "Damn, get it down and get him up."

The thin old man ignored the bandits and said to the mustache, "Sanhua cat, you ......"

"******, three...... Is that what you called? Shut up, "Shoot him." Everyone scolded angrily again, and Shi Suoxin, who was lying on the ground, said: This mustache is called Sanhua Cat? It's interesting, it looks like it must be a nickname and a nickname.

The thin old man paused for a moment and continued: "Sanhua cat, you always don't grow up like this, you always beat the house and hijack the house, block the road and rob, and sooner or later you will be punished." ”

The mustache called "Three-Flower Cat" did not curse like the other little bandits, he looked at the thin old man on the stone, and asked hesitantly, "Are you ...... Tie Guan Li? ”

The more Shi Suo and Professor Wan listened, the more funny they felt, the name "Sanhua Cat" was already peculiar, and there was another "Tie Guan Li", isn't Tie Guan Li a legendary immortal? How come there is still a living person named Tie Guan Li? However, it is not surprising that the world is chaotic at present, bandits and thieves are everywhere, and there are all kinds of nicknames

The thin old man on the stone, carrying a big gourd on his back and holding a crutch in his hand, is really a little similar to the legendary fairy. He said to the mustache, "Three-flowered cat, you give these two to me, get out." ”

"Fart," the obscene-looking man scolded, while picking up a ghost head knife, jumping up and slashing at Tie Guan Li, Tie Guan Li sat on a big stone, the position was high, the ghost head knife could only cut his legs, Tie Guan Li shrank his legs, the ghost head knife "swished" into the air, Tie Guan Li's black crutch stretched out at the same time, and hit the man's face.

"Ah," the lewd man shouted, and jumped back, bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

This action was very fast, the man stepped forward with a knife and slashed, retreated back, just blink an eye, Tie Guan Li's figure sat on the stone and did not move, everyone only saw blood coming out of the man's mouth, "Bah" spit out two mouthfuls, two teeth, spit to the ground.

"Okay," Stone Lock snapped as he fell to the ground on his side.
