Chapter 8 Deserted and Fleeing
"Strange, what's wrong today, so many riding ......" Yang Bo's face changed before he finished speaking, and he suddenly remembered to break through the lone mount below
"Iron Bull, things are a little bad! Quick, let's go......" Yang Bo ordered in a little panic, and he was in no mood to search the body carefully.
Fortunately, the two regained a lot of strength, and it didn't take long for them to run in front of the horses left behind by the military man.
"Iron Bull, can you ride a horse?" Yang Bo asked
"This ......" Tie Niu touched his head, "I have only ridden a few cows"
"That's okay, it's much better than me" Yang Bo didn't care, he got into the saddle with half of the iron bull's body, and turned over on the horse under the pull of the iron bull
"Let's go!" Yang Bo hugged the stinking body of the iron bull and shouted
The two horsemen behind saw the abnormality, Yang Bo's panicked behavior obviously aroused their suspicions, and the two exchanged a few words before pulling out their waist knives and rushing towards the two with a flick of the reins.
The iron bull pulled the reins violently, and the horse let out a long neigh, raised its hooves and ran away, almost lifting Yang Bo off the horse
"Don't take the big road, go towards the mountains!" Yang Bo did not forget to frequently turn his head to observe the situation of the pursuing soldiers
The two military men chased very fast, and in just a while, they narrowed the distance of 100 meters, and Yang Bo, who was sitting behind, could almost see their faces, the iron bull was desperately pulling the reins, and Yang Bo was kicking the horse's abdomen from time to time, often kicking a kick to open up a little distance.
"Quick, quick! Go over there," Yang Bo said, pointing to the vague shadows of the mountains in the distance.
Iron Bull pulled the reins violently, and the mount circled around the place for half a circle, letting go of its hooves and running towards the rugged path, fortunately there were not many obstacles along the way except for some thorns, and Yang Bo and they could still keep a certain distance from the pursuers behind.
After running for a while, Yang Bo silently calculated his speed and the speed of the chasing soldiers, and he sadly found that he would be caught up halfway......
Yang Bo is unthinkable now, the inferior horse under his crotch has already run a lot of distances, and he is carrying the weight of two people, no matter how Yang Bo urges, he will gradually be caught up!
In a hurry, Yang Boshun picked up a feather arrow hanging in the quiver on the saddle and threw it out behind, the two soldiers were taken aback by this accident, and when they saw the arrow falling weakly on the side of the road, they couldn't help laughing, and they sped up.
Seeing the two military men staring at his head with malicious eyes, Yang Bo couldn't help but feel anxious, he copied another feather arrow and plunged it into the horse's buttocks!
"Good thief, stop!" The military man chasing after him saw it clearly, and couldn't help but drink in a hurry, a bad horse in this world can be worth dozens of taels of silver, but I didn't expect Yang Bo to be so fierce. Even if the hungry man's head was carved into a tartar, it might not be worth the price of this horse.
"Hiss......"
The horse was in pain, and after a long neigh, he galloped wildly, and this time quickly threw his pursuers far away.
But the good times didn't last long, and the speed of the mount gradually slowed down after running for a while, Yang Bo held the feather arrow and shook for a long time, this instantaneous acceleration was undoubtedly to quench his thirst, but he couldn't accept that his head was hung on a horse by these bandits and taken to take the risk, but the cruel reality told him that his fate was likely to be like this.
"What should I do?"
Yang Bo looked at the numb homeless people on the road, but they didn't seem to see what was happening in broad daylight. These ordinary people, they worked hard all night, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they did not have a full meal, and in the disaster year, they even sold their sons and daughters, and lived hard. Especially in recent years, the poor people have eaten up all the bark and grass roots, even to the point of eating Guanyin soil and cannibalism, and those powerful people are still starving silver at night, and they are full of food, who do they ask for fairness?
Looking at the urging Yama who was chasing closer and closer, Yang Bo's mind once again resurfaced the faces of his relatives and remembered his kind mother......
Yang Bo was furious, and slapped himself on the forehead, "What time is it, can you stop a little, don't come out to make trouble, okay......"
"Wu Na thief, leave the horse and spare you from death!" One of the soldiers pointed a knife at Yang Bo and shouted.
A cruel smile suddenly appeared on Yang Bo's face when he heard this, he beckoned to the two angry soldiers, and then fiercely stuck the feather arrow on the horse's buttocks, and when he pulled it out, countless blood beads splashed!
In the scolding of the military man, Yang Bo once again distanced himself from the pursuers. However, the horse's physical strength had already reached its limit, and it didn't take long for the horse's legs to suddenly smack, and the horse neighed, and his pace slowed down. No matter how much they urged, the horse would never take a step forward.
"Damn, didn't I just poke you twice?" Yang Bo jumped off the horse angrily, looked at the blood-dripping arrow shaft in his hand, and then looked at the horse's big tearful eyes, he sighed, and threw the feather arrow on the ground
"Hurry up, let's go into the mountains!" Yang Bo picked up a clod of soil and threw it on the horse's buttocks, the horse suddenly lost its restraints, and was driven away by Yang Bo, spreading its hooves and galloping away in the other direction.
Yang Bo didn't care about the pity, turned around and ran towards the foot of the mountain with Tie Niu.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the two pursuers behind saw this scene from a distance, and the two leaned over to talk a few words, one of them flicked the reins and chased in the direction of the horse's running, and the other chased Yang Bo in the direction of their escape......
Yang Bo ran wildly while panting, and didn't forget to look back, "Tie Niu, let's run separately and try to drill into the bushes as much as possible!" ”
The road under his feet slowly began to steepen, and Yang Bo tensed his feet to minimize the damage to the soles of his feet from the stones, and he had to try his best to control his balance to avoid falling.
In the same way, although the soldiers kept urging the horses, the mounds of bushes blocked the way of progress, and the horses slowed down.
The military man stopped helplessly, his eyes lingering on the backs of the two black shadows in front of him for a few seconds, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, the soldier suddenly shook his horse's head and turned away.
In Yang Bo's mind, it is enough for these soldiers to have a horse for nothing, although he and Tie Niu, the heads of the two young and strong men are also worth a few dollars, but there are still many homeless people along the way, and it is estimated that they don't want to trouble too much.
"They must not have thought that that bad horse is actually a military horse, I don't know what they will do with this hot potato after they get it?" Yang Bo is not without malicious speculation
Seeing the military man turn away, the iron bull fell to the ground and refused to get up. Yang Bo had the intention to run for a while, but after losing the pressure, his body softened again, so he could only hide behind the bushes and continue to check the movement below.
In the distance, the man who had been chasing the horse had returned, and the fleeing horse was tied to the back of his mount, and the horse was tied with strips of cloth on its buttocks. After the two of them converged at the foot of the mountain, they pointed at Yang Bo for a while, then turned around and left.
"Oops, it's finally safe!" Yang Bo, who had been observing the situation, couldn't hold on any longer when he saw this, and lay down with his back to the sky.
After resting for a while, the two of them were relieved.
"I grass... Hastily, everything really didn't go well! Yang Bo scolded the heavens angrily and stood up with the bare tree in his arms.
This mountain is not too high, but behind it there are countless mountains, most of which are still desolate, with no green and no life, and the biggest question they face now is whether to go down the mountain and continue on the official road or divert the route into the mountain.
Yang Bo began to have a headache......
