Chapter 49: Uninvited Guests
When Shui Wu looked up, she couldn't help but change color in shock. On the hillside, the exclamations of Mrs. Yang's convoy and her party had just drifted into their ears along the mountain wind.
Mrs. Yang's convoy had just reached a corner of the zigzag winding road, where the road was narrower and steeper, and the whole convoy slowed down, and the guards on horseback jumped off their horses to lead the horses, and two others stepped forward to help push the cart.
At this time, a few boulders suddenly rolled down the hillside, and the boulders rumbled to the ground, jumping and jumping with a large amount of gravel and mud and sand roaring down, and when the handlebars of the car that Shui Wu was riding exclaimed, the first boulder had just fallen on the road at the corner.
The boulder crashed the road with a thud, and a large amount of dirt tumbled down, sending a puff of dust and smoke in place. The boulder jumped down with a "tom" and smashed down less than a kilometer in front of the four horses pulling the cart, startling the front hooves of the four horses into the air and neighing.
Because the boulder had smashed the ground to the ground, the outermost horse could not stand, and with a roar, he slid down the slope. As soon as the horse slid down the hill, the other three horses that were standing upright were pulled down and slipped downhill.
The carriage was carried off the road crookedly, and after sliding down the steep slope for five or six feet, it rolled over. The horse and the cart rolled a few laps together, and the huge torsional force combined with the collision broke the wheels of the cart, and the cart separated from the horses and rolled down faster.
At this time, a rolling boulder behind it rumbled up and down, and skillfully smashed towards the tumbling car, with a loud "boom". The boulder froze in place for a moment, then bounced up and continued to roll downward, leaving countless pieces of gravel and sand in its wake. Buried the smashed light car.
Seeing this, Shui Wu was terrified, and screamed: "Mother! Then he jumped out of the mule cart and staggered up the hillside.
The boulder that had smashed the light car fell two steps down the mountain road and shattered into three, but the three stones were still huge, and the bouncing and falling became faster because they were split. Uncle Snail exclaimed, "Girl! Girl! Dangerous! Dangerous! ”
Shui Wu turned a deaf ear and continued to run up the hill, seeing the stones rolling down. Uncle Snail was afraid that a stone would have eyes, so he rushed straight to his mule cart, and it was too late to hide, so he hurriedly led the mule and turned the body. He fled in a hurry. This time, the car was by no means snail-like.
On the hillside, when the first boulder of the Yang Mansion collapsed the road, the two unlucky guards in front were smashed into pulp, and although the guards behind responded in time and hid everywhere, where could they hide?
Besides, those boulders tumbled down, bringing down too many stones, even if it was just the size of a fist, and smashed down at such a height. Once it hits them in the vital point, it is enough to kill.
As a result, when the boulders rolled down the mountain. By the time the gravel and gravel had gradually stopped, most of the dozen or so guards had been stoned to death, and only two were still alive, one of whom was severely injured and dying, and the other had passed out in pain because his legs had been crushed under a boulder.
Dancing Water stumbled to the gravel and dirt, and saw that the light car had been buried with stones and sand, and only a part of it was exposed, and immediately struggled to pick it up. Those stones were all just broken, very sharp, Shui Wu was anxious, and he only used one hand to dig hard, and after a while, his slender ten fingers were dripping with blood.
Shui Wu didn't know how long she had been digging, but although the cart was falling apart, there was still some support between the woods, and she dug hard along a plank that was obviously the roof of the canopy, cutting most of the stone and dirt pressed on it, and lifting it up with all her might.
The wooden board was lifted by her repeatedly, and the loosening amplitude became larger and larger, and finally she lifted it all at once, and what was exposed under the wooden board was Xue Liu's squeezed inhuman-shaped **, and even her head was deflated, and a deformed head was soaked in blood and flesh.
Shui Wu burst into tears, and exclaimed sadly: "Mother! And he fell to the ground.
Shui Wu has been chasing Mrs. Yang without sleep and fear for the past few days, and she has exhausted her body, and she has just sweated in the valley of the first line of heaven, and after going out of the valley, she has been hit by the mountain wind, and she has already buried hidden dangers.
The empty mountain was silent, and it was not until half an hour later that the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and five or six knights rode out of the "ray of heaven". These five or six knights, all riding tall horses, wearing sunhats, and azure riding clothes, with swords hanging in front of their saddles and horse bags hanging behind their saddles, were obviously long-distance travelers.
After walking a short distance, they vigilantly grabbed the horses, although the mountain road was uneven, but at this moment there was a large crater smashed by a boulder, such a clear sign, how could they not be vigilant.
Among the knights, a middle-aged knight who was a little shorter, but unusually strong, and his momentum was three points better than that of several tall knights next to him, he gently wrapped the reins of his horse around his hand a few times, and ordered several knights who had already raised their knives and were on guard: "Go!" See what's going on! ”
Immediately, one of the knights agreed, and without hesitation, he rode his horse up the mountain road, and several other knights carried knives and looked around coldly, with a look of no fear and a high degree of courage. Suddenly, one of them stretched out his hand and pointed to the hillside, and said loudly, "Big brother, look there!" ”
The short and stout knight in the middle slowly raised his head, his sunhat was pressed against his eyebrows, and he could see his appearance clearly when he looked up, if Ye Xiaotian was here, he would be surprised to see his appearance, because this middle-aged knight who was full of anger was Hong Baichuan, a great benevolent man in Huxian County.
Hong Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction where Shui Wu fainted, raised his chin slightly, and immediately a knight threw the reins of the horse to his companion knowingly, and hurried towards the place where Shui Wu fainted. After a while, the knight brought the unconscious Shui Wu back.
The man stopped in front of Hong Baichuan and said to Hong Baichuan: "Big brother, it seems that the mountain rock collapsed and killed someone." There was a smashed car with two old women in it, who had been smashed to pulp. The girl was overwhelmed with grief and fainted. ”
Hong Baichuan looked up at the sky, there were a few white clouds floating quietly in the clear blue sky, Hong Baichuan looked down at the pit on the ground that was obviously smashed by a boulder, frowned and said: "The sky is clear, there is no rain and no wind, why is the mountain rock collapsing so strictly?" ”
His gaze slowly shifted to Dancing Water. looked at her ten fingers that were full of dirt but still saw the bloody flesh and blood, and said suspiciously: "If you are willing to save people like this, this woman should know the person in the car." Maybe it's still a loved one, but looking at her, it doesn't look like she has been attacked by a rock......"
Hong Baichuan was talking, and the sound of hooves was audible. The knight, who had been ordered to go up the slope to look, hurried back. Xiang Hong Baichuan hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, there are a total of eleven people on the mountain, nine dead and two injured, the two who are still alive are seriously injured, and they can't do it, and the other one has just been woken up by me, his legs are pressed by the boulder, and I can't lift ......."
Hong Baichuan interrupted him. "Have you figured out who they are?" ”
The knight said: "Yes, that person claims to be a member of the Yang family in Jingzhou. Escorting their wives back to Jingzhou, they unexpectedly arrived here, and suddenly a large number of boulders rolled down from the mountain......"
Hong Baichuan interrupted him again and asked, "But someone is a ghost?" ”
The knight shook his head and said, "The man said that all of a sudden, they didn't see anyone at all, and in a matter of moments, they died, and the wounded became like this. ”
Hong Baichuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Jingzhou Yang family ......"
A young man next to him said in a low voice: "Big brother, the Jingzhou Yang family is a branch of the Banzhou Yang family, and Yang Yinglong is a member of the family, so it's better to have more than one thing for us." ”
Hong Baichuan nodded, and said to the knight: "Go, make those two who haven't died yet, and make them look like they are stoned to death." ”
The knight turned his horse and walked away without hesitation. Hong Baichuan glanced at Shui Wu, who was unconscious in the arms of another knight, and said without mercy: "Throw her back and kill her like this." ”
"Yes!"
The man said yes and turned to leave, but Shui Wu in his arms cried out in a coma: "Don't! Mother! Don't! Mother! Brother Xiaotian, help me! Ye Xiaotian, ...... quickly Save ......"
"Stop!" When Hong Baichuan heard Shui Wu's whisper, he immediately called the knight, with a strange look in his eyes: "What did she just shout?" But Ye Xiaotian who shouted? ”
The knight nodded, "Yes, big brother!" ”
Hong Baichuan pulled the saddle and dismounted, and walked quickly to Shui Wu, Shui Wu's face was full of tears and sweat, and there were mud marks, but the outline of his facial features had not changed, Hong Baichuan looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly said: "Ah! It turned out to be her! ”
The knight was a little moved, and said, "Big brother, do you know her?" ”
Hong Baichuan hesitated slightly, and ordered: "Take her, let's leave immediately!" ”

Shuixi is the political center of Guizhou, and Guiyang is the big stage of this political center, but the territory of the three heavenly kings of Song, Tian and Yang is not on the ground of Shuixi, and Shuixi is the territory of the An clan.
The establishment of the administrative office that ruled the whole of Guizhou on the territory of the An clan was also equivalent to an official recognition of the "king of Tusi" of the An clan.
The An clan is a hereditary Guizhou Xuanhui envoy and is in charge of the 48 departments of Shuixi. The Song family, whose strength is second only to An's, is hereditary Guizhou Xuanwei Tongzhi, as An's deputy, has jurisdiction over Shuixi, Guizhu, Yanglong, Zhongcao and other ten major lawsuits, so the other big Tusi only buy houses in Guiyang City, and the An family and the Song family In addition to the house, they also built a house (Yamen).
The local people called the comfort of the An family to make the yamen a big mansion Ji, the Song family's consolation with the knowledge of the yamen for the small house Ji, from the Chenghua years, the An family and the Song family refused to stay in the house Ji Mansion, but returned to their base camp to be in charge, although the court ordered five times, still turned a deaf ear, so the size of the house Ji basically became a symbol of the two major Tusi located in Guiyang City.
At this moment, the door of the mansion is still closed tightly, and grass grows in the cracks of the green bricks in front of the house, but once someone enters the gate, it will appear impressively, and the house is five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the guard is tight, because the Tusi King An Wanquan is here.
