Chapter 184: Temporary Escape
Soon, all the horses were gathered.
Xie Shence patted He Ruoque's back and asked him to spit out the water he had drunk into his stomach. Then he carried the grass sprouts to his shoulders, let her head down, and shook the water out of the barely conscious grass sprouts' stomach and respiratory tract, and a black-armored guard learned the method of thanking the gods, and also helped the maid recover some of her senses.
Soon, the grass sprouts and the maid woke up leisurely, but their eyes were still blank.
Xie Shence found from the shadow projected onto the opposite cliff wall that the people from the fish pond had chased after him.
Xie Shence estimated the angle and determined that a large part of the cliff was at the bottom of the cliff that the people on the cliff would definitely not see, and said: "The people with bows and arrows will stay to block the enemy, and the rest of the people will retreat along the bottom of the cliff in concealment." Waiting for us at Wudaopo. ”
Immediately, the team divided into two groups, one group of people took the grass buds and her maid to go first, Xie Shence and He Ruoque, and seven or eight black-armored guards held bows and arrows and watched the surface of the pool and the surrounding cliffs vigilantly.
Two quarters of an hour later, someone came down. It must have come down along the vines of the cliff, and when they reached the surface of the pool, the vines were not long enough, so the three of them fell and fell into the pool. It's just that the waterfall is high enough and the force of the water is strong enough, so the splash caused by people falling into it is not very obvious, and it dissipates in an instant.
It is precisely because of this that after Xie Shence and the others jumped down, although the people in the fish pond soon chased after them, if they looked down, they couldn't find anything at all, so the fish pond above couldn't be sure whether Xie Shence and the others jumped off the cliff and left. So, they sent someone down to search.
Except for the direction from which it came, there was no trace of anyone walking around, and Tiqi couldn't fly, so it was likely to be a cliff jump.
So the three fish came down from the pool, and then splashed three splashes in the pool, and the splashes were instantly scattered by the waves that were scattered by the impact of the current.
But in an instant, it was enough, Xie Shence and the others' arrows came instantly, and the feathers at the tail of the feather arrows disappeared into the water in the blink of an eye, and there was only a faint trace of blood in the splash, which was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The bodies of several people were carried downstream by the current, and the people above found them.
Soon, a few more people came down. These people also died, and then a few people came down, and these people died again.
The sun was setting in the west, and the valley was getting a little darker, and some places at the outlet of the pool downstream, where the water had been washed up, were full of corpses. Eighteen people were all killed by arrows, the difference is only that some people were shot through the brain with one arrow, and some people were shot with several arrows. Of course, there were also people who fell on the rock in front of Xie Shence. After all, among Xie Shence's several people, only He Ruoque's archery skills are the most reliable, and the others can't do every shot, and some people still dive ashore.
Estimating the patience and ability of the other party, Xie Shence proposed to retreat in time.
In the evening, Xie Shence and the others converged with Mr. Yang and the others who had gone earlier in Wudaopo, and then fled overnight.
Xie Shence really didn't like this feeling of fleeing.
When I was in Yecheng, when I was in Dabacheng, when I was in Wuxi, and here I am!
In the past two years, nothing else has made much progress, but the running kung fu has made great progress.
In the end, it is still not strong enough.
Shuttling through the forest at night, Xie felt that the plan of gunpowder was more and more on the agenda.
I'll get it when I go back!
And there are cannon steps, guns and telescopes, all of them!
At this time, Osan leaned over and said, "Lord Admiral, that poisonous woman is dying. ”
"Poisonous Woman", this is the nickname given to the grass sprouts by the Black Armor Guard.
Xie Shence put his hand on the forehead of the grass sprout, and sure enough, it was very hot.
I am a person who has relatives to visit, and I can't sleep well and eat in the past two days, so I almost drowned this afternoon, and I was blown by the wind at night, so I naturally felt a cold.
In these years, the wind chill is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled well, it may kill people, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in Taihang Mountain, thank you for the fact that Shence is a little worried.
Xie Shence turned to General Secretary Yang and asked, "Keep an eye on the surroundings and see if you can find some medicinal herbs." ”
Mr. Yang nodded in agreement. So they went on for a while, found a cave, and rested for a while.
He Ruoque carried back a young deer half an hour later, and everyone roasted it in the hole, Xie Shence took out the tight salt packet, cut the roasted venison into pieces, sprinkled it with fine salt, and distributed it to everyone to eat. Because he wanted someone to take care of the sick grass sprouts, Xie Shence asked Mr. Yang to relieve some of the poison on the maid's body, let her feed the grass sprouts, and then clean up her body.
The maid almost bit the glutinous rice teeth, and only after feeding the grass sprouts wiped the grass sprouts in front of the three black-armored guards.
Let the black guard watch the maid give the grass sprouts because he was afraid that the maid would kill her.
The cave is not big, and it can only accommodate half of the people to rest, and at this time, because there is something inside, except for the three people inside, the rest of the people are driven outside by Xie Shence. Xie Shence and He Ruoque sat at the entrance of the cave, tearing the venison and chewing it carefully while looking at the stars.
After a long time, or maybe not long, He Ruoque said: "She is also quite pitiful. ”
Xie Shence was puzzled for a moment, and then reacted, He Ruoque was talking about grass sprouts, so he hummed again.
"Her parents should have died at my hands."
Xie Shence suddenly came to his senses, and felt that he could hear some of He Ruoque's past events, and such a difficult escape could be regarded as a little compensation.
"Now that I think about it, I should have seen her five years ago, the year my clan was destroyed. At that time, she was with her parents. Their family is a businessman, but they are not ordinary businessmen, they are pretending to do business with small tribes and then killing people and robbing money, well, you know when I say this, right? ”
Xie Shence nodded.
It's just a civilized horse bandit.
But how did the daughter of a steppe horse bandit become a hive man?
"That time, unfortunately, they met me when they were a guest of my Heruo tribe and wanted to do something to a small tribe of our department. I was going to marry the daughter of the patriarch of the tribe, and everyone had already seen it, and I gave 800 sheep as a bride price, only to have only a corpse and a felt tent still burning. ”
"Naturally, I killed them all. No, there was one left, because she was very pitiful at the time, and said that she was also taken captive, so I let her go, and gave her a bag of water and a bag of salt, and a horse and a knife. ”
However, two months later, He Ruobu ushered in the catastrophe. I should have seen her in one of the battles. ”
"I don't like this woman. When I was in Daba, she played the piano very well, but I hated it. She's beautiful, but I want to kill her. However, I always thought that women should not do such things. ”
"Cheap mercy. How do you know her parents are horse bandits? Xie Shence interrupted He Ruoque.
He Ruoque looked at the starry sky and said, "At first, I didn't know, but my parents died in front of me, and I know how it feels, so I can be sure that among the enemies I killed with my own hands, there are her closest relatives." ”
Xie Shence thought for a while and said, "But she is now a member of the hive. How could her parents be horse bandits? ”
He Ruoque said: "On the grassland, such a merchant is not a horse bandit, it is called a 'four-legged merchant', which means that if you are strong enough, then do business, and if you are weak, then you deserve to be robbed." As for how she could be a member of the hive, how do I know? That's where I find her pitiful. ”
Xie Shence turned his head to look at the grass sprouts, her maid was wiping her body, and she was talking about these things like a dream.
Mr. Yang walked over with a few plants and said, "Only these herbs should be able to be controlled for a while." ”
Xie Shence beckoned back and said, "Come here, your young lady has medicine to eat." ”
The maid walked over, and Mr. Yang handed the herbs to the maid, and then said, "Chew them and feed them to her." ”
The maid turned to the herbs and went in.
After a while, I heard someone retching inside.
Xie Shen smiled narrowly and said, "Lao Yang is really not a thing, just squeeze out the juice into her mouth, you have to chew it and feed it to her." I don't know if there's Houttuynia cordata in it, it's not disgusting."
He Ruo asked puzzledly: "She is cold, why does she still use Houttuynia cordata?" ”
Xie Shence shook his head and said: "I only know that there is Houttuynia cordata in it, as for why it is used, Lao Yang's poison, and what medicine should be used, he knows best." ”
In the second half of the night, Xie Shence asked Mr. Yang to send the two women to sleep, and then put out the fire to rest.
Before dawn, Xie Shence woke up.
There was the sound of fighting in the distance.
Soon a black-armored guard reported: "Lord Admiral, more than a mile away, the people of the beehive seem to have fought with the people of Erli. The number of both sides was about the same, and both were around thirty. ”
Xie Shence suddenly had doubts in his heart.
"There are so many people that I can't eat. Do you know why? ”
The black-armored guard said: "I don't know, I don't dare to approach, and no one talks much during the fight." ”
Xie Shence said: "Since this is the case, then let's pack up and leave quickly." ”
The people from the beehive and Erli didn't know why, which was good news for Xie Shence, so he took the opportunity to sneak away.
Xie Shence and the others stayed away here, and the battle was still going on over there.
A man armed with a Pak knife and two men in black suits fought together, and there was no victory. That made the person who made the Pu Dao quite tall, powerful, full of iron-like muscles, and the tiger and tiger of the Pu Dao dance.
The two people in black power suits are a sword and a sword, their moves are insidious and vicious, and they can't be prevented, but they are subject to the overwhelming crushing of the opponent's Taishan, and they have been switching between offense and defense. Neither side can help the other.
After fighting dozens of moves, the man slashed back the two with a knife, panting and shouting: "You gang of killers!" Why stand in the way of so-and-so! ”
With one move at a time, some people withdrew from the battle and gathered here, and then said, "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?" ”
The man shouted, "Do you know you?" The killer of the Erli people"
The man with the sword over there saw that he had revealed his identity, so he asked, "Since you know the identity of us, dare you stop me?" If you report your name, I will definitely take a second-class life! ”
The man laughed and said mockingly: "Others are afraid of you Erli, but we are not afraid, but a group of rats who can't see the light." I've heard you've lost two commanders and a few Rank A tagmen on the Riders, hahaha, it's just a bunch of rubbish. ”
The sword-wielding man paused when he heard this, and then said, "You and I don't know each other, so we don't have to fight each other like this, how about taking a step back?" What are you going to do, I will never interfere, what I want to do, it has nothing to do with you, how about it? ”
The man looked disdainful, grinned, and said, "Then you guys should retreat, grandpa will leave first!" ”
After speaking, he beckoned his subordinates, supported the wounded, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
