Chapter 6: The Hunt
The people in the acrobatic class were tired from the journey for days, and after dinner, they all fell asleep quickly.
Mu Xiao'e and the Red Lady have been iron porcelain best friends since childhood, they live in the same room, and after going to bed, Mu Xiao'e quickly fell asleep. But the red lady couldn't sleep. The red lady always has a sense of foreboding tonight, and always feels that something is going to happen at night.
She lay on the bed with her clothes folded, tossing and turning, and every time she closed her eyes, Zhang Cijin's thief's eyebrows and rat eyes shook in front of her eyes. She woke up suddenly and couldn't fall asleep.
In the second half of the night, just when the red lady was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard movement in the yard, she woke up in shock, and suddenly fell asleep, she quickly pushed Mu Xiao'e awake, and the sword she lifted quietly came to the window.
She found that the window paper was being pierced, and a bamboo pipe was sticking in, and she had been walking on the rivers and lakes for many years, knowing that someone was going to drug them. Taking advantage of the fact that people outside the window were not paying attention, she pushed the bamboo pipe out violently, only to hear a scream outside, obviously the people outside were caught off guard and were tied by the bamboo pipe.
The matchmaker pushed open the door and jumped into the courtyard, only to see that more than a dozen thieves with big knives had surrounded her. It was the tall Gu Ba Di who took the lead, and standing next to him was the short Gu Ba Di.
Gu overbearing sneered: "Red lady, he. . Damn, I don't know how to lift, my eldest brother invited you to perform acrobatics, because I can afford you, you actually don't give my eldest brother face, toast and don't eat and drink. Your people have now been poisoned by our **, if you know each other, follow me obediently, naturally it will not be difficult for you, otherwise, tonight is your death day. Hey! Hey! Hey! ”
The red lady said angrily: "Despicable and shameless! If you want me to go with you if you want me to go with you, you have to ask me if I agree with this knife first. As he spoke, he pulled out his posture and prepared to fight hard.
Gu Badao sneered twice, and said to the people around him, "Big brother has an order, to capture the red lady alive, everyone go together!" ”
After that, the thieves have surrounded the red lady, and under the command of Gu Badi, they attacked in turn. The red lady is in front of the back, moving left and right, and after a while, she is tired and sweating, only the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.
When the red lady was exhausted and couldn't support it, she suddenly rushed out of the dark corner of the courtyard, and it was Mu Xiao'e, she swung a knife and slashed at the back of a big man, the big man was caught off guard, he was stabbed in the back, screaming and falling to the ground, this gang of gangsters was startled by this sudden attack, and was distracted for a while.
Taking advantage of the distraction of the thief, the red lady and Mu Xiao'e flew up to the room and jumped out of the courtyard, in order to disperse the enemy's forces, the two of them ran in opposite directions. Gu Badi and Gu Badao chased after the red lady, and the rest of them went to chase Mu Xiao'e.
The red lady ran in the direction of Mujiazhai, they chased behind, although the red lady had good skills, but the two thieves behind her were famous figures in the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts were strong, and it was easy to get rid of them!
After all, the red lady is a woman, physical strength and endurance are still a big difference with them, at the foot of the mountain was caught up by the two of them to fight, the ancient domineering looked at an opportunity, a knife will be the red lady's arm cut a hole, if you don't want to capture the red lady alive, the ancient domineering Hades knife is afraid that the red lady would have died on the spot.
The red lady put on a desperate posture, desperate with them, the two thieves can only parry, but can not attack, they see that the red lady has been injured, want to use delaying tactics, exhaust the red lady's physical strength, capture her alive.
How could the red lady not know their evil intentions, she approached the woods while fighting, saw an opportunity, burrowed into the dense mountain forest, and fled for her life.
How could the two thieves stop and chase after them, but fortunately, the red lady is familiar with the terrain, so she can escape to the mountains with the help of the cover of the woods. Just when the red lady was sleepy and tired, and almost desperate, she met Yu Xiang who had just crossed over.
Yu Xiang used a wolf's tooth flashlight to deter Gu Badao, picked it up, and threw it to death, saving the red lady. Gu Badi held Gu Badao's corpse and fled back to Gujiazhai.
In the meeting hall of Gujiazhai, the corpse of Gu Badao stopped in the center of the hall, and the bandits were furious!
Gu Batian sat on the big tiger skin chair in the center of the hall, his face was pale, listening to the report of his subordinates, his eyes showed a fierce light.
Gu Batian said fiercely: "Over the years, only our Gujiazhai has bullied others, and no one has been able to bully us, but this time it was actually planted on a woman's body." ”
He pointed to a few thieves who fled back in embarrassment and drank: "You few wastes, you can't even deal with an acrobat, and you actually lost the lives of the three masters. ”
Gu Batian leaned forward and pointed at Gu Badi, "Second child, tell me, how did the third child die, you have to explain it clearly, there must be no omission!" ”
Gu Ba cried and mourned: "Originally, we caught up with the red lady, the third child also slashed her, and I was about to capture her alive, I don't know where a person appeared, dressed very strangely, it seems that he is a scholar, as if he doesn't know martial arts, I don't know this person, I didn't expect this person to hide deeply, and he killed the third child in one move." ”
"You can kill the third child with one move? So what kind of trick did he make? Gu Batian asked.
Gu Badi didn't see how Gu Badao died at all, but he was afraid that Gu Batian would blame him, so he exaggerated Yu Xiang's kung fu out of thin air, and he felt that people who could kill Gu Badao with one move were by no means idle.
So he said: "The trick is too fast, I can't see his move clearly, and the third person flew out with a knife and was killed by a waist cut!" ”
Gu Ba said vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and the bandits in the hall showed a look of horror, after all, Gu Badao was famous in the rivers and lakes, and he was actually killed by someone with one move, how powerful the opponent was! There was a lot of talk in the hall.
Gu Batian deserved to be the leader of the bandits, his face was silent, and he shouted: "Hugh wants to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige!" Shut up! ”
The hall fell silent immediately.
"Aside from letting the matchmaker escape, what about the rest of the people in the acrobatic class?" Gu Batian continued to ask.
One of the bandits walked out and said: "We have already charmed the rest of the acrobatic class and planned to kill them, but we didn't expect that just as we were about to make a move, a masked man first restrained our brothers and ran away, but we still caught a person named Mu Xiao'e." ”
The bandit continued: "The brothers have already used Mu Xiao'e as a heavy punishment, and that girl is packed up and dying, but she refuses to recruit her. But we know that they are the people of Mujiazhai. She still has a breath, just waiting for her eldest brother to say what to do. ”
"What to do? How can Gujiazhai's reputation on the rivers and lakes be ruined by a female streamer! If the rumor goes out, will my Gu Batian still have the face to mix in the rivers and lakes? They don't inquire, they dare to go against me, I will let them die a good death, and when I catch the red lady, I will bring them together, peel the skin and cramp, and sacrifice the third child alive. Gu Batian said viciously.
Gu Tianba said and swept the hall, and all the bandits did not dare to come out, "Everyone obeys orders, I want to personally lead the team to set foot in Mujiazhai in the middle of the night and catch the red lady." Everyone went back to prepare and set off in the afternoon. ”
The bandits replied in unison: "Subordinates, obey orders!" ”
Gu Tianba added word by word, "I said ugly things to the front, this operation must be kept secret, and no rumors are allowed to leak the slightest, if anyone dares to leak this matter, I will not spare it." ”
The bandits should be in unison.
However, there are all impermeable walls in the world, and Li Gang still knew that Gu Batian was going to raid Mujiazhai.
Li Gang, known as the sword general in the rivers and lakes, came to Henan Province a few days ago, his relatives lived in Dongshuanghe Town, was a rich family, by chance, when he was wandering around the town, he met Zhang Erhu, Li Gang had saved Zhang Erhu's life before, Zhang Erhu saw the life-saving benefactor, and said that he would take Li Gang to his home for a few days to repay his life-saving grace. Li Gang was so enthusiastic that he had to come to Zhang Erhu's house. Zhang Erhu was a small leader under Gu Batian, and he led a few people under his hands, and he lived in Gujiazhai.
After Zhang Erhu received the order, he hurried home to prepare, and said goodbye to Li Gang, who was a guest at his house.
Zhang Erhu said: "Engong, the master of our village, the three masters of the village, Gu Tyranny, killed people with one move last night!" ”
"Killed by someone? Gu Badao is a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts of the person who can kill him with one move is not simple, who is this person? Li Gang asked curiously.
"Everyone doesn't know this person, but this incident was caused by the red lady of Mujiazhai!" Zhang Erhu approached Li Gang and said in a low voice: "In order to avenge Li Badao, our Dazhai master will set foot in Mujiazhai tonight, catch the red lady, and sacrifice the ancient domineering alive!" ”
After Li Gang heard this, he frowned, he had heard the name of the red lady, and said in his heart: How many innocent people are going to suffer!
Zhang Erhu said embarrassedly: "No, let's come back and prepare, we have to set off later, and we may not be able to accompany Engong one day!" ”
Li Gang said: "I've been here with you for the past two days, thank you for your hospitality, today I will also go back to my relatives in Dongshuanghe Town, let's get together again another day?" ”
Zhang Erhu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll pick you up after this is done." ”
Li Gang agreed, then got up to say goodbye to Zhang Erhu and left the village.
Li Gang had already made up his mind to quickly tell them about the Guba attack on Mujiazhai at night, so that they could prepare as soon as possible and avoid being wiped out!
**In front of the Guangong Temple, the red lady sat by the puddle, fiddling with her hair, thinking about her thoughts, and was dazed. Unaware of the fact that Yu Xiang was already standing beside her.
At this time, Yu Xiang opened his mouth in surprise, and he couldn't close it for a long time, the red lady looked exactly the same as Yang Lili, but the red lady's complexion was not as fair as Yang Lili's. There are also some differences between the two in temperament, the red lady is charming and more unruly wild, unlike Yang Lili, who looks like a good girl at home and abroad.
Yu Xiang was simply stunned, the red lady was like a tanned crossover, could this be providence? The Red Lady is Yang Lili's past life? Could it be that this is fate, providence!
Yu Xiang was alone there thinking about it, and the red lady saw that there was a young beautiful man standing beside her in the pool, and this person was Yu Xiang. Thinking of sleeping with Yu Xiang ** last night and sleeping on his arm, the red lady's face was crimson, and she didn't dare to look at Yu Xiang shyly, but looked at Yu Xiang's figure in the water with the corner of her eye, and her heart was infinitely happy.
Neither of them spoke, each with his own thoughts, and time seemed to stand still. It was Yu Xiang who broke the silence first, as a master of chatting on the buckle, he knew how to find the topic: "Why did you get up so early?" Does your arm still hurt? ”
"My arm doesn't hurt anymore, it's much better." The red lady bowed her head and replied.
Yu Xiang smiled secretly in his heart, this is not the temperament of a red lady in history, how did she become twisted and pinched, like a big girl! But when you think about it, hehe, isn't she just a big girl?
Yu Xiang continued, "Are you hungry, I have some food in my bag, how about eating some early?" ”
The red lady lowered her head and said "um", which was considered to be agreed.
Yu Xiang turned around and returned to the temple, took his backpack and opened it. The red lady no longer seems to be as restrained as yesterday, and she took the initiative to help Yu Xiang put the bread and biscuits on the bluestone.
She held a bag of biscuits, looked at the packaging carefully, touched the packaging plastic, and felt very strange, this was something she had never seen before, she wanted to ask yesterday, but did not ask, today she took the opportunity to point to the plastic packaging and asked Yu Xiang: "What is this?" So smooth, it seems to be waterproof. ”
"It's plastic, it's really waterproof, and the food is wrapped in this thing, which can prevent moisture and prevent the food from getting wet and spoiling." Yu Xiang tore open another box of biscuits, took out a piece, and handed it to the red lady's mouth, "Come and taste this biscuit, this is strawberry flavored, is it delicious?" ”
The red lady instinctively dodged, but then meekly took the biscuit with her mouth and ate it, but her face was even redder, and the whole ear was red.
Yu Xiang saw it, and then smiled, he didn't mean to be light on the red lady, subconsciously, he really regarded the red lady as Yang Lili.
For the red lady, she felt that the two were already husband and wife, she didn't think that Yu Xiang was a light person, compared with the dull and harsh of her man in time and space, she felt that Yu Xiang would be more caring and considerate, but if someone else treated her like this, the red lady was only afraid that she would stab him with a sword.
