That little boy, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, seemed to be smiling but not smiling. In his left hand he held a stiff bow about the same height as him, and in his right hand he held a feathered arrow in two fingers. Looking at his face, he is about ten years old, he has not yet tied his hair, he is not short, and there is a faint temperament that seems to be reserved but is really cold and arrogant under his delicate expression. Standing on his feet, his body was like a pine that had not yet reached the sky.

A ten-year-old kid holding a hard bow that looked a little old and broken, standing on the official road to stop seven or eight men who were in the prime of life, it stands to reason that it should be very funny, but I don't know why, Wu Lailu, Li Sanfu, Liu Lezi These people just felt a trace of absurdity and then shock, and there was a little bit of unspeakable fear. Seven or eight strong men, afraid of a teenager?

That's how it is, that's why it's quite weird.

The son of the tiger and leopard, although he has not formed a pattern, has the air of eating cattle.

The reason why Wu Lailu was a little frightened was because he could recognize the origin of the bow at a glance. It was when Emperor Gaozuwen destroyed Nanchen during the Kaihuang period, and he collected the foot bows carefully made by craftsmen from all over the country. At that time, it took three years to make only a few thousand copies. Others don't know, he knows.

"Young man, why are you blocking our way?"

Wu Lailu calmed down and asked.

He asked politely, and although he was a little shocked and a little frightened, he was confident that if he wanted to knock out the child, the child wouldn't even have a chance to draw his bow. ...... year Forget it, what happened back then was just a nightmare.

The young man raised his chin: "It's not to block your way, it's just to delay you for a while." There's water on the road ahead, so don't splash you. ”

Wu Lailu frowned, what he couldn't understand was that since Tiefutu was going to do business to rob the three carriages, why did he send a child out to stop the pedestrians behind? With the methods of those horse thieves, do you need to taboo yourself seven or eight farmers? Suddenly, Wu Lailu understood.

"Thank you, little brother, let's go back and find an inn to live in, and we'll be on the road early tomorrow morning."

The boy smiled, it was beautiful and clean.

"You're a smart person, and I like smart people. But...... I don't like it when you stare at my hand and I can see that you recognize the bow, so I must be wondering if I can pull the two-stone bow, right? You think I'm bluffing, so I'm not scared, but you're pretending to be a little scared in front of a teenager like me, in fact, what you're thinking in your heart is that if you hit me with that wooden stick, I won't even have a chance to shoot the bow, right? ”

The young man smiled confidently: "Your shoulders are sinking, and your steps are moving forward and backward, looking at the posture of you holding that stick, it is more like holding a knife." This is the standard vigilance posture of the Great Sui Mansion soldiers when they are about to fight, and besides, you are used to using your left hand. ”

Like a demon, this young man broke the secret in Wu Lailu's heart word by word: "If you are not a spy sent by the government soldiers, you are a deserter." Obviously, the latter is more likely to be the case. Did I guess right? ”

Wu Lailu's eyes were cold, and his face changed. He never imagined that the secret he had hidden for many years would be seen through by a teenager at a glance. Da Sui's military discipline is ruthless, there is only one end for deserters, that is, to die directly with a cane and bring disaster to his family, although he is not a deserter, but the young man has guessed that it is not far off, he escaped with great difficulty, and was guessed for the first time The secret that has been hidden for many years was guessed for the first time, so he had the idea of killing people in his heart, although his opponent was just a child.

"Don't want to do it, since you say it, I won't be afraid of you doing it."

The young man gestured Wu Lailu's height: "Although you look as strong as a cow, I promise that one arrow can kill you, and you will never need a second arrow." And, I'm definitely shooting faster than you think. ”

His smile was bright, with a little ...... Shy?

Yes, when you boast about yourself, you have to show a little embarrassment, right?

Wu Lailu's face was a little pale, and the hand holding the wooden stick tightened and loosened: "This little brother, let's go back." Thanks, we won't be going north before noon. ”

After saying that, he hugged the young man very solemnly.

Liu Lezi didn't know why Wu Lailu was so polite to the young man, but after he heard the young man say that Wu Lailu was from a government soldier, his heart trembled suddenly. The soldiers of the Great Sui were all from military households, and their status was much higher than that of ordinary peasant households. Wu Lailu's family moved to Fangcheng Village from another place, and it was only four or five years old. I usually look at the old lady who doesn't look like an old woman from the countryside, but her demeanor is more like the housewife of a big family. Now it seems that perhaps the boy's casual words are true.

How much reward can I get for reporting a deserter?

Liu Lezi thought about it and had a headache.

Wu Lailu signaled to everyone, turned around and prepared to leave. The moment he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man's right hand holding the bow hanging down, as if he had lost his guard. At this moment, Wu Lailu's eyes suddenly became cold. His feet slammed violently, and the soles of his cloth shoes made a piercing grinding sound on the ground of the official road, and an explosion erupted from his feet, and his body crashed into the boy like a cannonball.

At the moment when Wu Lailu turned around and rushed over, he suddenly, in a trance, saw the corner of the young man's mouth pick.

The left arm, which had already hung down, was raised, and the right hand, which was holding the feather arrow, was placed on the bowstring, and the bow was drawn, and the bow was like a full moon, and the arrow came out, and the arrow was like a shooting star. The distance between the two men was only less than three meters, and Wu Lailu was confident that he could hit the young man's neck with a stick sweep in a single breath, and his powerful left arm had been raised, and the wooden stick was raised.

The stick went up, and he had to stop.

It took him less than a breath to complete the action described above. And the boy shot an arrow. The boy shot an arrow and did not stop moving, his right hand was raised, and the second feather arrow was drawn from the quiver behind his back like a flowing cloud, and the bow was drawn, and the aim was taken.

The second arrow did not go out, and it was aimed at the throat of Wu Lailu, who was holding his left arm high.

With a bang, the first feather arrow was inserted into the solid official road behind Wu Lailu, and the arrow feather was still buzzing and trembling, and it sank into the ground.

Wu Lailu subconsciously lowered his head, he saw a hole leaking in the water bag hanging on his waist, the water was gurgling, and the first drop of water happened to fall on the surface of his feet.

The young man tilted his head: "You have killed people." ”

He said.

"And, you want to kill me."

The young man frowned: "It's a pity that you can't kill me." Moreover, you have already made me murderous. You're not a worthy person to kill, but I really don't mind using you to break my killing ring. If you're still thinking about killing people, I don't mind bukkake you. ”

A ten-year-old boy always looks weird when he says this.

Wu Lailu is not an ordinary farmer, nor is he just a deserter. When the Great Sui went on an expedition to the south, he was just a young man, not much older than this young man with a bow. The family changed dramatically, and he followed his mother to Hebei to join his relatives but was turned away. I wandered to Saibei again, and only a few years ago I settled in that small village called Fangcheng. If his background is found out, it will be another tragedy. Although so many years have passed, Wu Lailu doesn't want to gamble with his life.

Looking at Wu Lailu's expression, the young man sighed and said, "Not convinced? ”

He put the bow and arrow in his hand on the side of the road, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, try again." ”

Wu Lailu raised his hand and hung it down weakly.

"I think I know who you are. The young master of Tiefutu is really a young hero. ”

He gritted his teeth and said a word, then turned around and walked away.

The boy showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth and smiled, "Wait a minute." ”

Wu Lailu stopped, turned around and asked, "What else do you want?" ”

The young man untied his water bag from his waist and threw it to Wu Lailu: "If I shoot you a water bag, I will compensate you for one." You have gone back, and you have given me face. One yard is one yard, and we don't owe each other. ”

Wu Lailu stretched out his hand to grab the water bag, didn't thank him or speak, tied the water bag to his waist, and strode away. The men in Fangcheng Village looked at each other, and finally followed Wu Lailu's footsteps and walked back. From walking all the way back to the small village he had passed by before to finding a simple inn on the side of the road to live in, Wu Lailu didn't say a word. Liu Lezi wanted to lean over and ask several times, but looking at Wu Lailu's cold eyes, he was afraid that he didn't dare to speak. Everyone ate dinner silently, and plunged into the quilt, feeling a little helpless and aggrieved, and a little inexplicable.

Wu Lailu sat on the edge of the kang, accustomed to picking up a water bag and drinking water.

The hydration bag wasn't his, it looked a little dirty, but it was much more delicate than his original one. Fine cowhide water bags, and some twisted Turkic script. Wu Lailu didn't know those Turkic characters, but there were eight big Chinese characters that he knew. These eight characters are in the grass font, and the pen is a dragon and snake.

Drink water well and urinate on the kang every day.

There is also a line of small characters written in beautiful hairpin flower letters below these eight words, which are neat and beautiful, but more like a woman's handwriting.
