Origin of the Xiaolin Chapter 278 The Man in the Forest

The flickering firelight was accompanied by one by one, and the men with torches flashed back and forth in the busy tun in a tense atmosphere. The barking of some dogs in the tun is also because of the men who are walking back and forth in the tunzi, holding torches. In addition, around the tunzi, there were also blazing bonfires. The men all held their hunting bows, iron forks, and other things, and walked nervously back and forth in the tun. Don't let go of the slightest strangeness in the night, for fear that something is wrong!

Even at night, there are still many people who are still busy with their work by the wooden fence around Tunzi. The wooden fence was reinforced by cutting down trees from the vicinity of the tunzi. A number of women walked up and down these and around the wooden fence. Either helping to haul chopped wood, or boiling hot soup in a large iron pot on a campfire lit by a wooden fence. Some scattered men gathered around these large iron pots, carrying rough wooden bowls, drinking hot soup from the cakes. Even when they sat down to eat, they still looked around at the busy people who had reinforced the wooden fence from time to time.

In the small forest not far from Tunzi, there were several men dressed in linen clothes and dressed in the pass. Holding the ring-headed knife at his waist, he followed a young man in his twenties with a three-foot sword hanging from his waist, watching the movement in the tunzi not far away. On the wide dirt road leading from this grove to Tunzi, there are also more than a dozen men dressed in the pass. They all held their hands in their hands, and the ring-headed knife at their waists was vigilant in the direction of Tunzi. At this time, some black donkeys, carrying many things, were coming along the dirt road leading to the grove to the stone compound hidden in the forest.

The mountain road in the moonlight, although it is still very dark. But it also allowed the people of Tun who were moving forward in the dark to see the things around them vaguely, so that they opened wide to the Zhumen and came from the front of the faintly bright courtyard from the door.

"My lord! Wait like this! Isn't it too slow?! ”

A man who was following the young man, as he looked at a man who was passing by with a black donkey carrying a load, and said to the young man who was standing in front of him and looking out of the forest not far away, and who was lit up by a bonfire and torches. There was also a hint of anxiety and irritability in the words.

The young man tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said in a firm tone: "Everything must be at the behest of the family!" It doesn't matter if it's slow or fast! ”

"But... Those wolf beards from outside the gates. It's so close to us! Many of the surrounding tunzi were killed by wolves! The bull market in front of this forest is the biggest gathering around! If... If those wolf beards really come to the bull market... The owner... And the safety of the young lady... Aren't we here just to pick up the master and the young lady back? ... The head of the house and the young lady can't afford to miss the slightest! ”

As soon as the young man's voice fell, another older man, about forty-seven or eight, and the middle-aged man continued. The words were full of melancholy. As the middle-aged man's words spoke, several other Kannai men also felt that what this man said was reasonable.

"Yes! Oh, yes! The head of the house and.. And the safety of Miss is the most important thing! It's really dangerous here! The day before yesterday, I was ordered by the head of the house and the young lady, and I rode a horse and the tun man who led the way, to find the boy who was called Huzi and not Huzi... But, but from afar, I saw that the tunzi was burned clean! Oops! That's miserable!! ... And on the way there, I saw a mess of blood and some bits of flesh! A torn burlap bag... It must have been a coincidence, and when he met the wolf leader, he killed the wolf leader by the way... That tunzi... It's not too far from us..."

The words were full of melancholy, after the middle-aged man finished speaking. Another young man, who was no more than twenty years old, whispered with some fear. But he also lowered his voice as he spoke, and he could only be heard by the young man beside him and a few men in the Guannai. For fear of being led by the black donkey, the Tun people who came from the direction of the bull market square heard it.

The young man also listened, and the men beside him, whether you were worried or panicked, or worried and afraid, made me feel depressed. He didn't know that if he waited in this forest for a few more moments, the safety of the head of the family and the young lady would be more dangerous!

But as a son of the branch of the family, as a general who came to welcome the return of the head of the family on the order of the elder of the family, he must not disobey the order of the head of the family! And what made it hardest for him was... Even though he knew that in this forest, the wolf beard coming from outside the gate was extremely dangerous... The safety of the head of the family and the young lady also made him extremely worried at this time. But he can't disobey the orders of the head of the family and the young lady!

If the head of the house and the young lady... Something really happened... So this time, he was ordered to lead the soldiers of the clan to greet the head of the family and the young lady's general, and he really couldn't redeem it! As a clansman of the branch of his own family, he will definitely be punished by his own family for his own dereliction of duty! And...

"Needless to say! Everything is the only thing that the master does! Your family is all your own households! Not to mention anything else, if you provoke the head of the family this time, wait until you go back... Hum! ”

As the young man spoke, he ended his words with a cold snort. But he can also see that these soldiers who came with him and sent to him by his family are the elite of his family's soldiers, although they all have a lot of strength. But after all, including himself, he has never experienced a life-and-death battle. Seeing that they were in danger, they all had other thoughts.

And he is such a young general, although he is a child of his own family. is also the same as the family, with the same surname. But the identity and status are far inferior to those of the children of the family. It's just a little taller than these own soldiers. And among these family soldiers, there are also distant clans like him, who are also from their own family branches. It's just that he doesn't have his own lineage, and he has some weight in the clan.

In fact, when he took the order of the elder of his family and received this errand to come to Xiaozhou to welcome his master, many people in the clan were very enthusiastic that they had won this errand. After all, if you can welcome the head of the family back, it's not just for yourself. is also for his own vein, and there will be a lot of status improvement in the family. And when he welcomes his home, he will also become a cronie of the head of the family nine times out of ten. Who in the clan is not hot-eyed and has this errand? And he could also see that on the way here, although these soldiers of his own family were polite to him on the surface, they were very obedient to him. But in fact, they are also more or less dissatisfied with themselves in their hearts.

At the moment when the wolf is attacking, and the safety of the head of the family and the young lady is in danger, it makes these soldiers who are already in their hearts and are a little dissatisfied with themselves have some uncontrollable momentum! Everyone is afraid of death! And that includes himself! But as the general who came to welcome the head of the family back this time, he had to live in the town, and these subordinate soldiers who were gradually complicated in their hearts at this time because of the appearance of the wolf beard could do it! And the best way to subdue is to take advantage of the situation!

The men who followed the young man, when they heard the young man's words and cold snorts, they all quieted down again. They're all small... And it's all from the family.,Born in the field.。 Who doesn't live by farming their own fields? Although they are all a little jealous and dissatisfied with the young generals of this family branch, they are a little jealous and dissatisfied in their hearts. But he was right... As a soldier of my family, if I really annoy the head of the family... Don't say anything else... Just this one in front of them, taking them to this branch in the broken forest, secretly suing them in front of the head of the family, that should be enough for them!

After saying that it was not good, after going back, the head of the family waved his hand and eliminated his name in his family's field! Without the protection of their own family, how can they support their old wives and children? Even if they are really here, if something happens... As long as the head of the family can return to his home safely, his wife and children will definitely be taken care of by the head of the house.

A few men, you look at me, I'll look at you... Originally, I wanted to pry the young general, go to the head of the house, and leave this dangerous and abnormal broken forest quickly. But they didn't want to be here, and they didn't look down on the branch family boy, so they took the opportunity to press their heads. But he didn't dare to say much, so he could only follow the young man honestly, or panicked or worried and afraid, and silently followed the young man, looking at the bull market not far from the forest, which was still busy in the night.

"Big... My lord! My lord! ”

After a long silence, a man from Guannai, who was standing on the mountain road, ran over to them out of breath. When the man ran to the young man, and stood with the young man, the men in the gate called the young man. But he couldn't help but let those men, who thought what was happening, couldn't help but hold the ring knife on their waists one by one, and kept looking around with nervous faces.

"What's the matter? So flustered? ”

Although the young man was also in his heart, the panting appearance of the subordinate who ran in front of him made his heart tighten! But I'm really afraid of something... But on the surface, he was still calm, and asked the men who came to him.

The man who came over from the gate panted and replied, "Yes... There's a Tun boy... Come on, come here... Yes, yes... Meet the head of the house! ”

The young man was puzzled: "Tunren boy? Want to see the head of the house? ”

The panting Kannai man nodded slightly: "Yes.... He, he said himself... I am... It's the disciple of the head of the family..."The man said but looked at the man, who was standing next to the young man, the man in his twenties, and then said: "He, he said his name is Huzi... Xin Huzi..."
