The reason why Hu Xiaotian waited for him to get close was that he wanted to hit with one blow, but he didn't expect Yan Zhou to be so strong, he didn't shoot him on the spot after a round of steel needle shooting, he hurriedly raised the black box again, and pressed down the bracket continuously, and the rest of the steel needles all shot out, both of which were shot on Yan Zhou's face. Even so, it still couldn't stop Yan Zhou's all-out assassination.

The steel knife carried Yan Zhou's life's strength, and stabbed it on Hu Xiaotian's chest with an unrivaled force, Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he secretly screamed in his heart, I will die, and the blade touched his chest and sent out! , but it couldn't pierce him in the chest. Only then did Hu Xiaotian remember that it was the Danshu iron coupon he hid in his chest that saved his life when he was dying and dying. Rao is like this, Hu Xiaotian was still shocked by the force from the blade and took a few steps back, but fortunately, his back was against the courtyard wall, so he didn't fall to the ground.

Yan Zhou had exhausted the last trace of strength at this time, the steel knife in his hand could no longer advance a point, his face was densely covered with steel needles, his eyes had been shot blind, and the whole person was still standing there not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Hu Xiaotian took out the short knife that Hogg gave him from his boots, walked over cautiously, and saw that Yan Zhou was still motionless, he took a deep breath, strengthened his courage, went around behind Yan Zhou, raised the short knife and inserted it into Yan Zhou's heart, and after pulling out the short knife again, Yan Zhou's burly body slowly fell to the ground.

Hu Xiaotian was worried that he would not die, so he reached out and touched his right common carotid artery, convinced that Yan Zhou had no pulse, so he wiped the blood stains on his body and put it back into the sheath, turned around and looked around, and did not see any figure, it seemed that Yan Zhou was tracking him alone, and did not bring other helpers.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Hu Xiaotian left the scene quickly. The road map given to him by Zhou Wenju was completely discarded. As Zhou Wenju said before, the city of Xiezhou is heavily guarded. If you don't walk a few steps, you will encounter patrolling soldiers, and the people in Xiezhou City have long been closed. Hu Xiaotian always pays attention to his hiding whereabouts, and when he was hesitating where to hide, he suddenly found himself in a familiar place.

He felt as if he had been here before, and the scenery around him seemed extremely familiar, and there were not many lights on either side of the side street. Further on, I passed a house with a seal on the door. Hu Xiaotian walked over and took a look. Thinking about it carefully, this place is actually Yujin Lane, Fengze Street, and it is Zhou Ruiyuan's old house that affixes the seal. It seems that there must be a fate in the dark, and I actually touched it here in a daze.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and it seemed to be coming in the direction of Yujin Lane from far and near, Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, if he was discovered at this time, he would definitely be arrested and interrogated. So the previous efforts were not completely in vain, he hurriedly climbed up from the wall, fortunately, the wall of the Zhou family was not high, and Hu Xiaotian did not spend much effort to climb over. As soon as they had gained a foothold in the courtyard, they heard a group of men passing by the door, and the torches lit up the outside.

Hu Xiaotian's heart was pounding, for fear that the gang would break into the door and search if they came in at this time. I'm going to have to catch him right. Fortunately, the patrol team did not stop and quickly passed in front of the door.

Hu Xiaotian breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did I take a look at the courtyard in front of me, the lilacs were still there, and the yellow silver was still in full bloom, but the originally neat and clean courtyard had become barren and overgrown because no one took care of it, and the stone tables and chairs in the courtyard had fallen to the ground crookedly. The door was wide open. Most of them are damaged, and apparently this place has experienced a catastrophe not long ago.

Hu Xiaotian briefly inspected each room, the Zhou family was not big, there were only eight houses in total, and most of them were empty. was plundered, only there was a small bed in the west wing, Hu Xiaotian groped and sat down on the small bed, the two doors all fell to the ground, looked up, it was dark and dark outside, and could not see any light, because he was afraid of exposing the target, Hu Xiaotian did not dare to light the lamp, and he lay on the small bed and fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, he seemed to see his parents walking towards him, they were all wearing prison uniforms, with shackles and chains, and the people around him kept scolding, throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them, and saw two fierce executioners holding a bright ghost head knife, the sun shone on the blade, the light pierced Hu Xiaotian couldn't open his eyes, and vaguely saw the ghost head knife rise and fall, Hu Xiaotian exclaimed: "Don't!" He sat up suddenly, already covered in cold sweat. He gasped for breath when he heard the commotion coming from outside again.

Hu Xiaotian hurriedly walked out of the room, but heard someone say: "Give me a careful search from house to house, don't let go of any place, you must find Hu Xiaotian!" ”

Hu Xiaotian was shocked, it should be Yan Zhou's body was found, and the local garrison launched a city-wide search. It's just that he slept too dead just now, and if he woke up a moment later, he might have been caught in bed.

Hu Xiaotian looked around and saw that the courtyard was surrounded by the light of torches, and there was the sound of breaking the door, the sound of dogs barking, and the panicked questioning of the owner of the house.

There was no hiding place in the room at all, although there were a few trees in the courtyard, but the branches and leaves were loose and could not hide, Hu Xiaotian's eyes finally fell on the well in the northwest corner of the courtyard, and the only one who could hide should be that well.

Hu Xiaotian did not hesitate, walked quickly towards the well, before entering the well, his eyes fell on the green bamboo next to him, immediately remembered something, took out a short knife, quickly cut off a bamboo, cut off both ends, kept the hollow bamboo pipe, and then came to the well again. The wellhead is not big enough for a person's body to pass by, Hu Xiaotian stepped in with his legs first, supported the wellhead with both hands, and then took a hard breath, let go of his hands and fell, when he fell, Hu Xiaotian remembered an extremely important thing, if this well was a dry well, wouldn't he have to break his tendons and fractures? Thankfully, it didn't happen, boom! With a bang, Hu Xiaotian had fallen into the cold well water, and the falling force made him sink deep into the water, and then slowly floated up, wiped off the water stains on his face, gasped for breath, and as soon as he put himself on the water, he heard the gate being pushed open, someone entered the courtyard, and there was a humane outside: "Search!" Don't let go of any corner. ”

Hu Xiaotian heard the sound of dull footsteps, the footsteps came from far and near, it seemed that someone was walking in the direction of the well, and heard someone saying: "There is a well here!" ”

Hu Xiaotian took the bamboo pipe and sank under the surface of the water again, he didn't know when the gang would leave, so he cut off a piece of the bamboo pipe before jumping into the well, and used the bamboo pipe to expose the water surface so that he could breathe freely under the surface of the water for a long time.

Two soldiers looked down with torches, and after looking at them for a while, they still couldn't see clearly, and one of them threw the torch in his hand directly, and finally succeeded in seeing the water at the bottom of the well by the light of the torch, and did not see anyone there.

Hu Xiaotian saw the fire above his head fall, and after being immersed in the water, it was extinguished instantly, and a puff of smoke diffused from the bottom of the well, and the smoke was sucked in through the bamboo pipe, Hu Xiaotian held back the desire to cough, his chest kept rising and falling under the water, and he felt as if his lungs were about to explode.

Fortunately, the two turned around and left, and Hu Xiaotian saw that the fire above his head disappeared, so he poked his head out. He didn't dare to cough, his face was already red, and his body was so cold from the well water that he almost lost consciousness.

Hu Xiaotian thought that the gang would leave, but he didn't expect the two to go and return. This time, instead of holding torches in their hands, they replaced them with bows and arrows, and the two of them pulled their bowstrings at the same time and shot several arrows in a row at the well.

Hu Xiaotian had sunk under the water before they shot the arrow, and now he could only resign himself to fate, Hu Xiaotian was obviously not so good, there was still a feather arrow shot on his left shoulder, Hu Xiaotian endured the pain, and the cold well water played a somewhat analgesic role.

The two men shot all the arrows they had and turned away, not returning this time.

The gang searched inside and outside Zhou's house, but finally found nothing, and then left.

Hu Xiaotian was sure that after the gang left, he poked his head out of the water, raised his right hand, and touched the arrow shaft on his left shoulder, fortunately, the tip of the arrow was not deep into the flesh, he gritted his teeth, and pulled the feather arrow off his shoulder with a ruthless heart, so painful that he almost lost his breath.

He took out a small porcelain bottle containing the golden medicine from his bosom, unscrewed it, and poured out some of it and applied it to the wound. Only when the pain eased a little did Hu Xiaotian look up at the sky at the wellhead.

The dark sky above was fading and finally turning to a gray color, and the night was about to pass and the dawn was approaching.

Looking at the wall of the well through the faint light of the sky, the light was smooth and slippery, and there was nowhere to start. Luckily, he had the dagger Hogg had given him. The blade of the short knife is tough enough to withstand the weight of Hu Xiaotian's body, he first inserted the blade into the edge of the well wall, and then climbed up a little bit, because the well wall was slippery, and his left shoulder was injured, and his left arm could not be used freely, and it took half an hour before he climbed up from the well.

The moment he climbed up from the wellhead, Hu Xiaotian felt that the whole person had collapsed, and he lay on the ground on all fours, like a big character. A drop of rain fell on his face, Hu Xiaotian was still motionless, staring blankly at the dark sky above, the rain fell from the sky like a bead with a broken thread, Hu Xiaotian looked at the heavy rain falling from the sky, and the languishing life seemed to be moistened by the rain and began to recover little by little.

There are many things in life that cannot wait, Hu Xiaotian does not dare to wait, waiting means risking his life. After last night's search, the door of Zhou's house was resealed, which means that no one will come to search here in a short time. However, the shooting of Yan Zhou last night is bound to alarm the whole city, and today's defense in Xiezhou is only afraid that it will be more strict than yesterday.

The first order is almost 10,000, and the brothers and sisters who have the conditions to subscribe hope to support the octopus to reach the first goal. (To be continued......)
