Chapter 352: Mountain Road Attacked
At this time, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is easier to see clearly from a distance, the distant mountains are just hazy, and the torrential rain between the mountains is like a note, and the rustling sound is even more frightening.
Feet on the muddy mountain road, rattling. The feet are not hard, and from time to time someone falls, of course, the main ones who fall are those who catch fast and Dali Temple, as well as those few scribes.
Lu Jinping, Xiaoxiao, Ye Qingqing and Meihua Neiwei are good at martial arts, and this muddy mountain road will not make them slip.
At the beginning, Xiaoxiao was very nervous, for fear that Lu Jinping would fall, so she followed carefully, and later found that after climbing a muddy mountain road, Lu Jinping did not show any signs of falling, and walked very steadily. Only then did he exclaim: "Shibei should be impressed for three days." It's only been a short time since I separated from you, your martial arts are already very good, this light body is as light as a swallow is a first-class master, what adventures do you have? I don't believe you can practice such a masterful martial art in such a short period of time. ”
For Xiaoxiao's words, Lu Jinping just smiled, although he would not fall under his feet, but the feeling of walking on this muddy mountain road was really difficult to be bad.
He wiped the rain from his face with his hand, and was about to speak, when suddenly, he noticed that Xiaoxiao waved his hand with a solemn face, signaling him not to speak, as if he was listening to something, so he stopped and listened. But nothing was heard except the rustling of rain.
Xiaoxiao listened for a moment, shook her head and said, "It seems that I am too worried, there should be nothing wrong, let's go!" ”
After walking forward for a while, suddenly, Xiaoxiao stood up and said nervously, "Something is rushing towards us!" ”
Lu Jinping listened suspiciously, and suddenly his face changed, and said, "It seems to be a carriage, I heard the sound of the wheel rolling on the mountain road." ”
Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "It seems to be." ”
Immediately, she said in a loud voice: "Attention to the people in front." There's a carriage coming towards us, be careful to block it! ”
Lu Jinping said: "This mountain road is too narrow, if it is really a carriage, if the speed is too fast, there is no way to avoid it, everyone be careful." The horse must be stopped. ”
The bears in front of them hurriedly stopped, and put up a pergola in the rain to look ahead, but the rainstorm was like a note, the visibility was very low, and they couldn't see far, but they also heard the sound of rumbling wheels rolling.
The bear catcher is a little nervous, the cliff on the right and the cliff on the left, if you climb the cliff, you can avoid it. This cliff is not very steep, but what should Lu Jinping do later? What about Dali Cheng and scribes who don't know martial arts?
At this moment, the grunt of the wheels came closer and closer, and before they could think of a way, in the dense rain and mist, suddenly, two horses rushed out from the depths of the rain and mist, dragging a large cart. Round logs were placed on the cart, and there were no ropes to tie them up.
On this mountain road. It was already unusually narrow, and it could only pass through one carriage at most.
And now, it was a carriage drawn by two horses, and these two horses had already taken up more than half of the road, and the carriage dragged behind it was piled up with several thick logs, blocking the entire mountain road horizontally. The mountains slapped at them.
Xiong Zhutou said urgently: "Everyone be careful! ”
With that, he gritted his steel teeth, and instead of retreating, he threw himself head-on at the rushing carriage, just as the carriage rushed in front of him. He passed through the two carriages, his hands outstretched, and with a thud, he grasped the wheels of the carriage firmly. I tried hard to stop the carriage. But the force of the carriage was so great that he stepped on the muddy mountain road and fell backwards.
At this moment, the huge momentum was blocked by the bear catcher, and due to inertia, a pile of wood on the carriage was thrown out. One of them smashed into the head of the bear catcher, and the bear caught his head in danger, flew up with a kick, and kicked the crosswood off the cliff. The other foot was still sliding backwards against the mud, resisting the force of the carriage's forward rush.
Another log flew over his head and smashed into the trap behind him. I heard the screams sound, and the first two catchers were about to be hit.
The two logs that hit the fast catch continued to roll forward, seeing that they were going to cause a lot of casualties. I saw a flash of white clothes, a bright afterimage crossed, and with a whoosh, the log that was about to crush in front of the other catchers suddenly rose into the air and flew off the cliff.
The catchers were frightened, looked sideways, and found that it was actually the sissy young man next to Lu Jinping.
This young man, of course, is Xiaoxiao dressed as a man.
After Xiaoxiao picked up the wood with her toes, three more logs swept towards them in different postures, all of which fell out of the carriage under the huge inertia of the carriage.
The sleeve of Xiaoxiao's robe flew out with a bang, and with a bang, two pieces of wood were knocked away and fell off the cliff.
At the same time, the third log swept a cliff catcher down the cliff, and then was knocked away by Xiaoxiao's palm and fell into the cliff.
The carriage, after leaving two long trails, was finally stopped by the bear's head.
Lu Jinping hurriedly rushed up and checked the two catchers who were knocked down on the ground, one of his head had been smashed flat, and he was still twitching slightly on the ground. The other leg was knocked off. Holding the broken leg and screaming there.
He hurriedly looked under the cliff again, where could he still see the figure of the catcher who fell off the cliff, and he didn't know where he fell.
Lu Jinping rushed to Xiong Zhutou's side, Xiong Zhutou had already let go of the carriage, and the two carriages snorted and stepped on the ground with their front feet.
Lu Jinping looked at the carriage and saw that there was no one in the carriage, and there was no coachman behind him. It seemed to be a horse-drawn carriage with no one in plain sight, but the carriage had a pile of heavy logs tied to it, and it was not bound with ropes.
What the hell is going on?
Xiaoxiao rushed up and looked around vigilantly. Lu Jinping said to Xiong Zhutou: "You take a few brothers to track down the mountain road to see if there is a coachman, and if so, bring him back." ”
The bear catcher agreed, took out a single knife and rushed up the mountain road with a few catchers, and soon disappeared into the rain, and a loud shout came from the mountain.
Lu Jinping looked at the bottom of the cliff again, and shouted: "Brother Catch Fast under the cliff, how is it?" Are you hurt? Hear me? ”
The other catchers hurriedly followed Lu Jinping and shouted hard, but there was no response.
Lu Jinping said to Xiaoxiao: "Is there any light skill in the plum blossom guard?" Send two down to see if the catcher is still alive? ”
Xiaoxiao immediately sent two plum blossom internal guards with light skills and strong men, and climbed down the cliff with ropes to find them.
Then, Lu Jinping checked the two catchers on the ground.
The one whose head was deflated was already out of breath and died on the spot. The other had his right leg broken and he also had internal injuries.
Lu Jinping hurriedly called Lang Zhong to come to the rescue.
In order to prevent anyone from being injured on the road, Xiaoxiao specially invited a Lang Zhong to accompany them to Bazhou. Lang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward for treatment. Splint the injured trap on the broken leg.
After a long while, from the rain and fog of the cliff came the voice of the plum blossom guard: "The man is dead, and his head is broken. ”
Lu Jinping's heart sank, and he said loudly: "Find a way to hang the body up, we can't throw him underneath." ”
The two plum blossoms agreed, and after a while, the bear catcher came back with a few catchers, shook his head and said that they had chased them for two or three miles, but no one was found along the road, and no one was there. However, they checked the ruts on the dirt road and found that the car was parked at a bend not far away, because the rut had only started there, and it hadn't been before.
There were several thick logs on this carriage, and such a heavy weight would definitely leave ruts on such a muddy mountain road, and there were no people around the curve, how could this carriage suddenly appear somewhere? It's weird indeed.
After a long while, the two plum blossom guards finally climbed up, they had already hung the corpse with ropes, and they quickly stepped forward to help and hoisted the corpse.
At this time, the rainstorm had decreased a lot, and the visibility was far away, surrounded by vast mountains, and there were two bodies lying quietly on the ground, and everyone's hearts were gloomy.
This sudden catastrophe filled their hearts with a heavy and bad feeling about the trip to Shu Dao. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao saw the opportunity just now, and knocked down the cliff with several crossbars that flew over, causing no further casualties, which is a great luck in misfortune.
The two Dali Temple Cheng Zhang Lin and Wu Jie were trembling with fright, their faces turned blue, and the person who was still talking just now had turned into a motionless cold corpse at the moment, which always made people feel the fragility of life.
Zhang Lin was a white-bearded old man, and said to Lu Jinping: "Lord Wang, what should I do about this?" ”
Lu Jinping thought for a while and said: "We can't leave them behind, put the bodies on the carriage and take them away, put the injured people on board, and throw all the remaining wood on the carriage." They were transported in a horse-drawn carriage to the front market town and handed over to the local officials, who were to help send the two dead brothers and the seriously wounded brother back to Chang'an. ”
At that moment, the catchers lifted the remaining wood on the carriage to the bottom of the cliff, and then lifted the body and put it on the carriage, tied it with ropes, and put it on the carriage. Lead the carriage forward.
In order to avoid the same thing from happening again, Lu Jinping arranged for Xiong Catcher to take a few catchers to explore the road first, and the group continued to climb along the muddy mountain road in the rain.
When I came to the bend mentioned by Xiong Zhutou in front, I found that the deep rut ended at a relatively wide bend, and there was no deep rut up. It can be seen that the carriage was parked here at that time.
Lu Jinping carefully examined the surrounding situation, but found nothing.
Judging from the current situation, someone must have known that they were rummaging through Qingniling at the moment, so they parked the carriage here, and saw the opportunity to drive the carriage down the mountain road, the purpose was obvious, to kill them. (To be continued.) )
