Ling Hao left Lingxi Town and was about to go west, but was stumped by an old man, who was on crutches, with gray hair and beard, and a wrinkled face. He trembled and walked up to Ling Hao's donkey and said, "The young man can't go ahead!" ”

Ling Hao stopped the donkey, and after confirming that the old man was not going to touch the porcelain, he asked, "Old man, what's going on ahead, why can't you go!" ”

The old man sighed, and kindly persuaded: "There are bandits ahead, pick a lonely traveler like you to attack, if you insist on going, I am afraid that you will also fall into the hands of evil thieves, either killed, or caught up in the mountain as a bitter man." ”

After hearing this, Ling Hao knew that the old man was kind, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for reminding the old man, although the kid is not talented, he can also work hard, and it should be no big deal if he wants to come and go here." ”

Then an old woman also came up and said, "Young man, listen to this old man." A few days ago, the bandits of Heifeng Village went down the mountain to arrest Zhuang Ding, and also kidnapped his daughter-in-law, his son was angry, and went up the mountain to find the bandits desperately, but he did not come back, and now he is only a lonely old man and a seven or eight-year-old grandson at home. The grandson cries every day, and he clamos for his father, and the days are so hard! ”

When Ling Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and asked a little angrily: "If such a thing happens, doesn't the local government care?" ”

At this time, the blacksmith next to him suddenly scolded: "Tube? What to take? A few years ago, the local prefect sent an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the bandits, but as soon as the immortal master made a move, a fog was set off, and more than 10,000 were beheaded by the bandits that day. It's not that I said you, with your physique, fine skin and tender meat, it is far worse than the old uncle's son, be careful to go up the mountain, and be used as a plate by the thieves. ”

Ling Hao asked, "Since there are immortal masters among the bandits, why didn't the Heavenly Sword Sect take action to suppress the bandits?" ”

"Who knows? Every time the Heavenly Sword Sect sent someone to suppress the bandits, the bandits disappeared without a trace, the immortal master said that the bandits were hidden in the jungle, it was really difficult to track, so they did not shoot, but every three days the immortal master would send a disciple to escort the passing caravan, the immortal master set off in the morning, you have to go, wait for three days, and each person will pay 10 silver for filial piety. ”

Hearing these words, Ling Hao's heart sank completely, it seemed that the enthusiastic old man in front of him, he understood, it turned out that he was afraid that passers-by would be framed by bandits again, so he specially came here to dissuade passers-by.

He bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, uncle, you haven't asked for your uncle's name, what is your son's name?" ”

The blacksmith replied, "His surname is Li, and his son's name is Li Gouyu, why do you ask this?" ”

Ling Hao said casually: "Just ask, it's windy outside, uncle, go home and stay, maybe your son will come back tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, he raised the bamboo pole and whipped the donkey heavily, and the donkey took him to run forward quickly.

Seeing him staggering and bumping on the donkey's back, the blacksmith said, "I'm afraid this is not a fool." ”

Lao Zhangtou shook his head and sighed!

At this time, the group of eight people happened to leave the town and also walked in the direction of Ling Hao, and the old man took a staggering step again, and said to the jade-faced boy: "Wait a minute, the passengers in front of you, listen to me, you can't go ahead!" ”

…………

Going west is an official road, but now it is a depression, Ling Hao is walking on the avenue on a donkey, but he has been thinking about what he heard just now.

He felt that things were too strange, this avenue was the official avenue leading to Jianmen in the west, what kind of bandit was so bold that he dared to ransack the official road, and every time he suppressed the bandits, he could always avoid being traced, was it really the same as he thought?

One more point, why did Heifeng Village arrest Zhuangding on a large scale?

I was pondering, and suddenly there was a sound of rustling in the woods next to the official road.

Ling Hao immediately alerted: "Who is there?" Come out! ”

When the people in the forest heard the movement, they hurriedly lost their figures, and hurriedly turned over and ran forward.

Ling Hao suddenly found that this person was wearing a thick gray cloth coat, with fluffy hair and a short figure, like a seven or eight-year-old named Hanako.

Ling Hao said loudly behind him: "Stop, don't run, I have no malice!" ”

The child ran desperately, and retorted: "The ghost only believes your adults' words, you adults are liars, don't try to arrest me back, I'm going to find my father and my mother!" ”

After listening to the child's words, and then seeing the child's attitude of hiding from himself, Ling Hao suddenly knew that he was the grandson of Old Man Li, and he must have secretly run out and wanted to go up the mountain to find his parents.

Ling Hao saw that he was running hard, so he said, "Don't run, I'm not here to catch you!" ”

The child's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stopped and said, "Really? ”

Ling Hao said amusedly, "Of course, do you think I feel like I'm here to arrest you?" ”

Seeing that Ling Hao had been following him leisurely, but not chasing him, the child believed eighty percent.

However, Ling Hao's next sentence made the child's heart rise to his throat!

I saw Ling Hao grinning, showing a penetrating smile and saying, "But I advise you to go back, the bandits are not joking, they love to eat children's flesh the most, especially the buttocks!" ”

Ling Hao's smile really scared the child a lot, he hurriedly covered his ass with both hands, and kept retreating, his eyes flooded with tears.

But he ran forward without looking back, crying as he ran, and muttering: "Don't, I don't want to be eaten in the ass, don't be eaten in the ass!" ”

The child was very frightened and cried, but he never took a step back! Because in his heart, his parents are far more important than being eaten in the ass.

Ling Hao only shook his head, he still couldn't give up.

He said, "Okay, don't run!" I'll take you to your parents! ”

When the child heard this, he stopped, turned his head to look at Ling Hao and said, "Uncle, what you said is true?" ”

"Of course, but if you want to call me brother, what's your name?"

"My father didn't give me a name, everyone called me Li Sun'er."

"Grandson Li? Why do you call it that, I'll give you a name when I'm free. ”

The child cheered and shouted happily, "Great, I want a name." ”

In the end, Ling Hao picked up the child on the back of the donkey, and the two walked forward together.

As the old saying goes: "The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!" ”

Even in the cultivation world, it is difficult to carve out a great avenue between these lofty mountains.

It didn't take long for the road to get narrower and more dangerous.

Suddenly, a dense forest appeared in front of him, the road passed through the forest, the dense forests on both sides were impermeable, Ling Hao slowed down his speed, and when he saw the renovated dirt on the road, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

He expected that the bandit ambush was ahead!

But Ling Hao didn't show anything unusual and continued to walk forward.

Sure enough, when Ling Hao walked into the renovated dirt, a rope net woven with hemp rope instantly bounced up, netting the two of them into the air with the donkey.

"Oooh, oooh."

More than 30 bandits with knives instantly poured out of the mountains and forests, surrounding the two of them.

One of them, a sturdy bandit with a big one-eyed beard, came out and said, "His grandmother's, after waiting for a day, waited for two dry goods (no meaning of oil and water)." ”

At this time, the child was flustered in Ling Hao's arms, and he said to Ling Hao, "I'm so scared!" ”

Ling Hao calmly restrained him and said, "Don't be afraid, you can see your parents in a while." ”

When the child heard this, he immediately didn't dare to move, and the one-eyed thief below saw that it was getting late, and said, "Brothers, take two dry goods back to the village!" ”

Ling Hao and the child were tied up by the thieves and walked towards the cottage
