Chapter 22: The Pursuers

Listening to Yun Xueshen's words, her heart seemed to be wrapped in a layer of honey, sweet, as her spirit relaxed, sleepiness also came up, and she began to hold on, with the bumps on the horse's back, her head went up and down, and she really fell asleep.

Behind her, Yun Xue Shen heard the heavy breathing of the person in front of her, her expression remained unchanged, but her arms subconsciously tightened the person, making her sleep more peacefully.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two horses and four people ran forward along the official road in the moonlight.

I don't know how long I slept, Xu Sisi was woken up, and when I opened my eyes, it turned out that they had come to a village.

There was silence all around the farmland, except for the croaking of frogs and cicadas, and most of the houses in the village had turned off their lights, except for a few houses with candlelight in their windows.

"Let's go down and take a walk, let's rest and then hurry," Yun Xueshen helped her off the horse and said, "Let the horse rest too." ”

Yun Feng and Qing Xuan also dismounted and walked over with the reins.

"Snow deep, shall we go find something to eat." Qing Xuan touched the empty Five Organs Temple, and after a long time on horseback, the old man felt floating when he walked.

He didn't have the same good treatment as a little girl, he sat behind Yunfeng, and he was afraid of falling down all the way, and he bumped all the way, so his face looked particularly ugly at this time.

"Why don't we go to the house and see if there's anything to eat?" Xu Sisi proposed.

Yun Xue was in a difficult situation, since he already knew that the Si family was still searching for them everywhere, he should try to avoid contact with outsiders, although they changed into the clothes of the silver armor guard, but it was inevitable that they would be recognized as not original.

I don't know who I am, so it's always right to be careful.

But they traveled for a day, and they didn't eat anything along the way, and they didn't know how far the next journey was, he and Yunfeng endured it, Sisi and Qingxuan might not be able to stand it.

The four of them stood at the entrance of the village, not knowing whether to enter the village or continue on their way.

"...... this?" A voice interjected, a little uncertain at first, and then said happily: "This is the eldest brother of the Silver Armor of Hongmeng Academy. ”

Yun Xue was secretly vigilant and followed the prestige.

But he saw a farmer carrying a wooden basin, with his trouser legs stretched high, revealing two broad feet, and splashing the water in the basin at the foot of the wall, and by the candlelight in the open door, he could see several people clearly.

He heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near in the house, so he wanted to go out and have a look, as soon as he opened the door and saw four strangers standing outside his door, he was also startled, thinking that there were mountain bandits robbing grain, but he didn't expect that it was the silver armor guard of Hongmeng Academy in Qufu City.

"Brother Yinjiawei is out on business so late?" The man threw the wooden basin to the door, hurriedly pulled down his trouser leg and walked over quickly, the smile on his face was warm and respectful, "Is there anything you need the villain to serve?" ”

Several people looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

The smile on the man's face did not diminish in the slightest, he walked to a place three steps in front of them and stood still, bent his waist slightly, and said: "It's such an honor to meet Brother Yinjiawei here, it's so late, there is no one within a radius of ten miles, presumably the adults are still hungry, adults might as well go to the villain's house, eat something to fill their stomachs and then leave." ”

The smile on the man's face is sincere, with the simplicity unique to the croppers.

"Yes, we just came back from a mission, and it was getting late, so I wanted to stop at the entrance of the village and eat some dry food and leave, but I didn't expect to disturb you." Xu Sisi stood up and said generously.

"The girl is polite, the villain doesn't dare to be," the man waved his hand again and again, seeing that she was dressed in regular clothes, she was still a woman, and she didn't dare to slack off, she could follow the silver armor guard out on business, and she must have a high status in the Si family, "How can you say that you can bother from time to time, you adults can come here, we can't look forward to it, if it weren't for the fact that the division sent the silver armor guard brother to suppress the bandits a year ago, we are so far away from the city, we would have become the ghosts of the mountain bandits, otherwise how can we have a peaceful birthday this year, More than 20 people in our village are all grateful. ”

"It turns out that you are here in the black dog stall Lijia Village."

"Grown-ups remember our little place?" The man's eyes lit up, and there was a flattered look on his face.

Xu Sisi still has a little impression of this matter, although the Si family is a double hero, although Qufu City is in order under the guard of Hongmeng Academy, but not everyone lives in the city, like Lijia Village, which lives in the black dog stall, is a small village dozens of miles away from the city, because the mountains here are continuous like a lying black dog, so it is named the black dog stall, the people here were originally peaceful and contentment, but I don't know when a group of wanderers came to camp in the mountain, and from time to time they went down the mountain to plunder the grain, making the people of Lijia Village miserable.

I went to the city to report to the officials several times, and the government also dispatched a quick hand, but in vain, and the momentum was huge, but not even a single hair of the mountain bandits was torn off, and a lot of people were broken.

Later, the old people in the village totaled, pulled dozens of people from all over the village to walk sixty miles, and came to the gate of Hongmeng Academy to ask the Si family to suppress the bandits.

In this regard, the people of the village of Black Dog are grateful to the Si family.

This incident was widely publicized in the city at that time, and the people in the city all praised the mercy of the Si family.

"Hmm." Xu Sisi nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine, it's hard to be gracious, let's disturb the eldest brother, beg for a bowl of water to drink at your house, and take a break before leaving." ”

"Don't dare to be a big brother to a girl, just call me Li Ergou, just let the adults not dislike my family's simplicity," the man Li Ergou was overjoyed, rubbed his hands, led the way in front, and said to the house: "Child, hurry up and make a fire, get some good dishes and come out to entertain distinguished guests." ”

"Sisi." Yun Xue screamed, and from the moment she began to play around with Li Ergou with ease, the three of them watched silently on the side.

Xu Sisi knew what they were worried about, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, don't worry about going in, let's eat something before leaving, don't eat in vain." ”

As he spoke, he took out the folding fan that he hadn't used for a long time, opened it with a brush, shook it in front of him, and followed it with a dashing and graceful step.

The two brothers looked at each other and followed.

Needless to say, Qing Xuan had already followed Xu Sisi into the house.

After entering the house, the four people sat down at the table, the man was busy pouring tea and pouring water, the hostess was a man of few words, only said hello when they entered the house and entered the kitchen, for a time the pots and pans were ping-pong, the aroma was overflowing, and after a while, three plates of hot dishes were brought up, and a big bowl of rice was served to each person, and then hid in the back room.

The dishes on the table may not be very delicious, but the farmhouse dishes are better than freshness, and the four people who have not eaten a serious meal for two days have eaten a storm.

Li Ergou watched it from the side and smiled, and wanted to add two more dishes, but was persuaded by several people.

The kindness of the croppers and the feeling of fullness in the abdomen made Yun Xueshen and Yun Feng put down their hearts, and their eyebrows became more relaxed.

Li Ergou poured another cup of hot tea for everyone and said, "It's so late, if you don't mind, how about you rest at my house and go on the road tomorrow." ”

Qingxuan had a cup of hot tea, he was already drowsy, and when he heard this, he nodded hurriedly.

Yun Xueshen was just about to speak, when suddenly on the official road outside the window, a rapid sound of horses' hooves gradually entered, Yun Feng leaned out of the window and looked out of the window, only to see a group of people holding torches, brightening the lights around them, and galloping horses.

In the distance, you can still hear their cries: "Look carefully, they must be coming in this direction!" ”

This group of people is the same team of Silver Guards they hijacked in the afternoon.

Li Ergou obviously saw it too, and said happily: "Today is really a lot of distinguished guests, and so many big brothers of the Silver Armor Guard came out at once," he said, looked at Yun Xueshen and the four of them, and said, "Those adults are with you?" ”

The sound of horses' hooves in his ears was like a talisman, and the color of the cloud wind was solemn, looking at Yun Xueshen, as if waiting for him to make an idea.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and it was about to erupt.

Li Ergou looked at the four of them, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Big brother!" Yun Feng called, and the fists under the table were already clenched.

This village is located on the side of the official road, and the silver guards will definitely enter the village to search when they pass by, and according to their speed, I am afraid that it will not be long before they arrive here.

Yun Xueshen slowly took a sip of tea, smiled, and said, "Brother Li, we were ordered by the head of the family to come out to handle some confidential matters, and this was originally a task for the two of us brothers to carry out alone, and it could not be known to outsiders. ”

"Oh~" Li Ergou suddenly realized, out of instinctive trust in the silver armor guard, he didn't have any doubts: "I can't let those silver armor guards outside know." ”

"Brother Li is really a smart person." Xu Sisi said approvingly.

Hearing this, the farmer's face was a little embarrassed, and he asked, "I don't know if there is anything I need help with?" A few said. ”

Yun Xue pondered: "There is really a need to trouble Brother Li." ”

"What, you say, it's my honor to be able to work for the Silver Guard."

"We need a couple of clothes."
