Running out of the city, Zhang Wenyi's eyes glanced around, and his heart was sour. It is seen that there is about two to three kilometers of open land outside the city of Chuzhou, and such terrain is very unfavorable for those who are fleeing. Zhang Wenyi, who had not rested all night, had almost reached the limit of her physical strength, and she was in urgent need of rest. However, now she knew that she was not safe, and if she did not disappear from sight before the men turned back, then she was still in danger of being overtaken.

"Zheng Ye" led people to search the possible hiding places of the Chinese family in the city, and did not find any trace of the Wen family, but saw several subordinates of the "Fifth Master".

After interrogation, "Zheng Ye" roughly understood what the "Fifth Master" and his party did in the Wen family, these people burned, killed, and plundered all kinds of evil, and even the female dart master of the dart bureau did not let go. But they lost several good hands, one was the "third child" who was regarded as a brother by the "Fifth Master", and a few were the most delicate and brave little leaders under the "Fifth Master", the lame, the walker, the bucktooth and the camel.

Because of Chunhua, the "Five Masters" made people identify the bodies of Chunhua, Ah Xiu and Liu's mother. These three people appeared in one place at the same time, indicating that it was very likely that the Nine Girls did not escape. The lame man was stabbed by her with scissors when he caught Liu's mother and wanted to violate her, Liu's mother was a strong woman, and she wanted to escape after stabbing the lame, so she was hacked to death with a knife.

Because he didn't kill a master for half a day, the "fifth master" felt that his face was not good-looking, so he sent people to search for the nine girls who might not have run away in the Wenfu. Several others died while searching for the girl or burning the Bunfu. According to their "second master", the ninth girl has a very powerful killer arch guard by her side.

"Zheng Ye" was very strange how these people sneaked away, and it took a long time to find out that these people were the culprits who abused Chunhua to death. After they heard that Chunhua was undercover, they were afraid that they would be punished by the "fifth master", so they took advantage of the chaos to sneak away. After these people told them about them, they begged "Zheng Ye" not to hand them over to "Fifth Master".

"Zheng Ye" said in a contemplative voice: "I will not hand you over to the 'Fifth Master', I will only deal with you personally, because Chunhua is my niece." ”

Those few people were taken aback, and when they were about to struggle, they were pressed down by "Zheng Ye's" subordinates and hanged with ropes. The bodies of these people were buried in the garden of a nearby family, and "Zheng Ye" hurriedly ordered people to be assigned to several other city gates to guard, and he personally returned to the original city gate to investigate. One is that there is a shortage of manpower here, and the other is that this is the closest to the Wen family, and it is also the place where the Wen family often goes out of the city. Thinking of the ninth girl, a deep boudoir girl, naturally it is the fastest to go out of the city here.

Because of the need to bury a few dead people, when "Zheng Ye" returned to the city gate, Zhang Wenyi had been out of the city for almost half an hour. At this time, Zhang Wenyi had already run to the edge of the shantytown, where the stench was stinking, but Zhang Wenyi couldn't care about it, and plunged into it with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Entering the shantytown meant hiding her figure, Zhang Wenyi's mood relaxed and slowed down. She walked slowly and searched for food left outside, now in desperate need of water and food to replenish and recuperate.

She was disappointed by the fact that the people she could see here were skinny with bulging abdomen, a typical symptom of malnutrition. Trying to find food in such a desperate place is a fantasy.

Zhang Wenyi quickened the pace of progress, she needed to get out of here as soon as possible. Because experience has taught her that people here do anything to survive, including cannibalism.

As he walked, three adult men came out of the alley next to him, and they hit Zhang Wenyi on the top of the head with wooden sticks. Zhang Wenyi, who was on guard, raised his hand and shot one person in the thigh as soon as the three of them appeared. The buckshot tore through the man's nasty muscles, broke his leg bones, and broke the arteries in his legs. The blood instantly collapsed on the faces of the people nearby, and Zhang Wenyi, who was standing far away, was also splashed a lot.

The sound of the gunfire was amplified in the narrow space, and the violent sound made the other two hesitate, and their wooden sticks failed to hit Zhang Wenyi.

They saw his companion who had fallen to the ground, and the man's thigh had been dented by a large piece of flesh that had been torn off. Blood poured out of the bloody wounds like a spring, and his skin turned pale with death from the massive blood loss.

The man was still howling in pain on the ground, rolling and struggling. It's just that his voice is getting weaker and weaker, his breath is getting weaker and weaker, and for a while, only intermittent convulsions remain.

This situation is all too familiar to the other two people, and they often have similar situations when they kill others, but the process is not so fast.

When the two saw Zhang Wenyi's gun pointed, they were so frightened that they threw away the wooden stick and turned around and fled into the alley on the side. Zhang Wenyi gasped, slowly walked forward with a gun and made an omnidirectional vigilance. The depth of the shantytown is about 300 meters, but Zhang Wenyi feels that she has walked for a century. She saw the corpse approaching constantly, but didn't have time to take a closer look at what they were doing. What Zhang Wenyi needs most now is to get out of this dangerous shantytown.

An elderly man who lived near the corpse came out and quickly cut off one of the corpse's arms, turned back to his hut, and held this arm to an old woman in the house and said, "Ah Miao, we have meat to eat tonight." ”

The rules of survival here are just like Zhang Wenyi's imagination, they only have two words: "live".

Li Liu expressed his doubts in front of "Zheng Ye", he said that he didn't seem to see a child come in with an adult, if it wasn't for Zhou Teamzheng's obstruction, he wanted to stop the child and ask clearly.

"Zheng Ye" stared at Zhou Teamzheng like a falcon, that is, the leader of the crowd who had just instructed Li Liu to check out the city.

Team Zhou was looking back at "Zheng Ye" with a calm gaze, and he explained: The boy was a little fat, but not very fat, and he was about ten years old. And at that time, there were people in the city who were going out, and he had to let Li Liu go to check on the group of people who went out of the city first.

Zhou Team's reason was very strong, and the other two guards of the city gate nodded in agreement with him, proving that the situation was indeed the case at that time, and Zhou Teamzheng did not lie at all.

Dispelling doubts about Team Zhou's rate, "Zheng Ye" asked the boy if he had entered the city, and the others said they hadn't noticed. When asked again when the boy would leave the city, Zhou immediately replied, "About half an hour." ”

"Zheng Ye" immediately ran out of the city gate and looked into the distance, and he saw a black shadow flashing into the shantytown. "Zheng Ye" glanced back and saw that a team of officers and soldiers was coming to change shifts.

He immediately stopped the leading team leader: "Team Fang, you come with me, let Team Zhou be worth a little longer." ”

The team said yes, still letting their soldiers wait in line. "Zheng Ye" asked someone to lead his horse out, and he rode on the horse and led the people towards the shantytown.

Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, "Zheng Ye" was thoughtful, and he waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him scatter and search around. And he slowly approached the bloodstains, and there were still the remains of broken bones and flesh in the blood. A piece of lead that exploded radioactively inside attracted the attention of "Zheng Ye".

According to the descriptions of the subordinates of the "Fifth Master", at least three people found such lead cakes. "Zheng Ye" gestured with his hand, and felt that if he used his finger force to pop out the lead shot, such a force was incredible. Perhaps a similar requirement can be achieved with a tension crossbow, but the tension crossbow cannot be fired continuously.

"Zheng Ye" shook his head, feeling that this Nine Girls' guard was really a terrible guy. Soon someone reported that a teenager had been seen running towards a wooded area in front of him.

"Zheng Ye" asked: "Only one teenager?!" ”

The man replied, "Yes, there is only one teenager." ”

At this time, the eyes of "Zheng Ye" saw the crockpot cooking food in the shack next to him, and the minced meat was eaten, and I don't know what kind of animal it is, maybe it is human.

His eyes turned to look thoughtfully at the woods ahead. After looking at it for a while, he waved his hand, and asked the team to gather all the people, count the number of people, and return to the city with them.

After the handover between Team Zhou and Team Fang, he led people out of the city gate, while "Zheng Ye" continued to stay at the city gate.

In the evening, the "Fifth Master" returned with people dejected, and "Zheng Ye" asked only to know that they still chased after the Wen family.

They caught up with the carriage, but there was no one from the Wen family on it. The Wen family got out of the carriage after leaving the carriage for four or five miles, and according to the direction pointed by the coachman, the Wen family apparently covered up the traces of the departure, and found the whereabouts of the Wen family again after looking for about a mile nearby. In the end, it was discovered that the Wen family had hidden a boat in a nearby river fork, and now it is inferred that the Wen family went to Pengcheng by boat along the canal. Then abandon the ship and go ashore somewhere, and their final destination should be to go to the capital to join the Duke of Yiguo.

"Zheng Ye" also introduced the discovery on his side, he thinks that there is indeed a top master around the "Nine Girls", and what is even more terrifying is that this master has other helpers. Judging from the Wen family's meticulous escape route, the Nine Girls were likely to be a cover for disrupting the line of sight and distracting the attention and strength of the pursuers.

There are two situations, one is that there is a teenager pretending to be the Nine Girls; One is that the nine girls are also there, through the continuous appearance of these two people to paralyze the prevention of the pursuers, and the master is secretly carrying out a sneak attack. Now they fled into the woods outside the city, which stretched for dozens of miles to the east bank of the river, and it was not easy to catch them if they could hide thousands of people in it.

Now that the Wen family has left safely, then these people will definitely leave to join the team, so catch their whereabouts and find the whereabouts of the Wen family.

The "Fifth Master" frowned and said, "That forest is so big, how can I find them." ”

"Zheng Ye" smiled and said, "They won't stay long, there is nothing to eat." Instead of looking for them in the woods, we should wait for them to come out of the woods. The place where they went in was 'ghosts don't stay,' so they certainly wouldn't come out of that side again. If you don't come out of there, if you go west, you'll usually have to go to the town of Hekou. ”

After listening to "Zheng Ye"'s analysis, "Fifth Master" smiled and said, "You mean we go to Hekou Town to block them?" ”

"Zheng Ye" nodded with a smile, and said, "The people of the Wen family are probably still waiting for them, so let's not alarm those people, the smoother they escape, the faster we can see the people of the Wen family." Of course, maybe the people of the Wen family will not wait for them. So this time you must be careful, be careful not to reveal your whereabouts, and be sure to notify me first when you are not sure. In Chuzhou, we can get involved, and it is the credit of others to get out of Chuzhou. The above is the whole family of the Wen family, not a nine girl, and that person may not really be a nine girl, and it is difficult for you and me to explain it in front of the old lady. ”

After a pause, "Zheng Ye" looked at the "Fifth Master" and said meaningfully: "It is better to have merit than no merit." ”
