Chapter 40: A Boy in a Mountain Village (I)
But Wang Xu quickly calmed down, and after a careful observation, he hesitated: "How many people have you seen clearly?" I only vaguely saw the appearance of more than a dozen people! โ
"Hmmm! Me too. Xu Shu nodded immediately.
On the contrary, Wang Fei shook his head slowly and said, "No, what you see should be the group that is robbing property, but I just faintly saw by the light of the fire that there were several people blocking the exits around the village, and there were more than ten people in total!" โ
Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but look over again, and after looking carefully for a long time, he suddenly saw a big man waiting with a knife at several exits of the village. Because these places were dark, he hadn't paid attention to them just now, and he could barely see them by the occasional flickering fire.
Immediately glanced at Wang Fei in surprise. "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be quite careful!"
"Huh!" Grinning, Wang Fei said indifferently: "This is so careful, it's just that the eyes are better." But what do we do now? To save or not to save? โ
After carefully observing the entire village and its surroundings again, and making sure that no more people were hidden, Wang Xu looked coldly at the yellow turban thieves who set fire and looted in the distance, and spit out a word lightly. "Save!"
Without further hesitation, the spear was raised, and he shot his horse out and ran towards the village down the hillside.
Seeing this, Xu Shu also laughed crisply, and rushed forward. However, Wang Fei was silent and didn't say a word, and slapped his horse to catch up. However, it was the last to come first, faintly rushing more fiercely than Wang Xu, and at the same time protecting Xu Shu between him and Wang Xu.
It's not far away, it's just a blink of an eye. The three yellow turban men who were smiling at the entrance of the village in the south to stop the villagers from escaping suddenly heard the violent sound of horses' hooves and the shouting of the royal horses, and suddenly looked back.
What caught the eye was three cavalrymen armed with spears and clad in iron armor. Although this cavalry looks a little small, it does not affect the sense of power brought by the rush in the slightest!
The three of them didn't have time to think about it, because the other party's speed was too fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front, and as soon as the Yellow Turban man raised the copper head knife in his hand in a panic, he felt a chill in his chest, and when he opened his mouth to scream, a mouthful of blood splattered out. His eyes widened in disbelief and he slowly fell.
Wang Xu picked up one with one shot, ignored the nearby villagers who were screaming and retreating in panic, and went straight to the place where the fire was thickest in the center of the village.
From a distance, I saw a group of big men looting from house to house. One of them was also snatching a sack of grain from a woman who had been dragged to the ground but would not let go. He wept bitterly and pleaded with a miserable face: "This is our last food, you can't take it, this is my son's ration!" โ
But the big man in the yellow turban was obviously not moved by this, seeing that the woman refused to let go, his eyes flashed fiercely, and the long knife in his hand was raised instantly.
But before the knife could fall, a crisp voice suddenly remembered. "Lao Tzu fought with you, you bastard!"
Hearing this, the yellow turban man was suddenly stunned, and looked at the young man holding a kitchen knife by the door in front of him in a daze.
Wang Xu, who had seen this scene from afar and was about to rush over, was also slightly stunned when he heard this. But then he reacted quickly, and shouted in disregard: "You must save that teenager!" โ
Seeing that the young man had already rushed over frantically with a kitchen knife, the yellow turban man also came back to his senses, and raised the long knife in his hand again with a cruel smile.
The impatient Wang Xu didn't have time to think about it, so he suddenly raised the spear with one hand and aimed at the yellow turban soldier. As soon as the internal force spat out, he threw the spear vigorously with his right hand.
The spear that flew out pierced through the body of the yellow turban thief in an instant, and he still maintained the movement of raising the knife just now.
The already crazy boy didn't notice this at all, and slashed at the yellow turban man who was completely motionless with the kitchen knife in his hand. It wasn't until the other party's body suddenly fell to the ground that he reacted, and he looked stupidly at the spear that ran through the entire body of the Yellow Turban Thief.
Before he could react, Wang Xu had already pulled out the long sword at his waist again and jumped on his horse. shouted: "Brother, why don't you carry your mother back to the house?" What are you doing in a daze? โ
And with the voice, Wang Xu and the three of them also roared past the young man and ran to the yellow scarf in the distance.
When the young man heard the word "mother" in Wang Xu's words, his body trembled suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment.
But he was not slow to react, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed back to his house with the pale woman who was frightened by the tragic death of the Yellow Turban thief, and he didn't even want food......
How could the Yellow Turban bandits of more than 20 people be the opponents of Wang Xu and the others, especially since they were still scattered around, and no one was the enemy of Wang Xu and the others at all.
In fact, it was equivalent to the time for the three of them to run around the village, and there was only one Yellow Turban bandit left. This was the last moment, Wang Xu was rescued from Wang Fei.
With the actions of Wang Xu and others, the villagers also reacted, and when they saw that the yellow turban thieves were all exterminated, they spontaneously organized to put out the fire.
But Wang Xu didn't have time to care about this, he glared angrily at the yellow turban thief who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and kept begging for mercy and said, "If you answer me well, you can be spared from death!" โ
"I say, I say! As long as you can let me live, I'll say anything! As soon as he heard that he had a chance to live, the yellow turban thief who was constantly kowtowing with tears in his eyes immediately raised his head and looked at Wang Xu with excitement on his face.
"How did you end up here, and do you have any of your companions around?"
With Wang Xu's cold voice, Wang Fei beside him also shouted viciously: "To be honest, if you say half a lie, you will not be able to live or die!" โ
"No, it won't! No, it won't! The yellow turban thief kneeling on the ground was frightened by Wang Fei, and suddenly sat down with his butt and waved his hand again and again.
Then he quickly said with great interest: "More than 20 of us were originally bandits on the mountain, and we only recently joined the Yellow Turban. Because the Yingchuan War was imminent, and there was a shortage of food at present, many people were sent out to borrow food from civilians. We were one of the teams that were sent out, and we were the only ones in the surrounding villages. โ
"Yingchuan?" With a cold snort, Wang Xu immediately shouted angrily: "Are you a fool for me? It's nearly 200 miles away from Yingchuan, so you traveled so far to collect grain? โ
"I'm telling the truth!" In the face of Wang Xu's anger, the yellow turban thief suddenly cried with a sad face, and said in a mournful voice: "We can't help it, the above explained that we should collect grain and grass." But they also explicitly ordered us not to rob, but only to borrow good words. But where are the ordinary people? In order to make meritorious contributions, and I was afraid that I would be punished by military law after being known by the above, so I ran so far to rob it. โ
"Really?"
Seeing Wang Xu's questioning, the Yellow Turban Thief immediately raised his hand and swore to the sky: "It's true! If I have half a lie, you will cut off my limbs and throw me into the mountains to feed the animals!" โ
In fact, Wang Xu already believed his words for eight points in his heart, after all, this yellow turban thief was not the kind of scheming at first glance. looked at the pitiful appearance of the other party, and disdained to do anything for this kind of person. Immediately said coldly: "Get out!" Don't continue to be evil, or you wouldn't be so lucky today! โ
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Childe! โ
When the yellow turban thief saw that he could live, he immediately kowtowed three times in a row. Before he got up quickly, the wolf bรจi had to run out of the village!
