Chapter 185: Encountering Mountain Bandits
Ji Yu laughed twice and gave her a piece of the baked hot cake, "There are still a few people in this world who can force me." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, not asking about the past, not giving promises, all according to what they thought in their hearts.
Zhang Youtao never asks the people around her to never leave, there is no banquet in the world, there is no need to restrain the other party's steps, in this era of meeting and relying on fate, she lives a little casually.
The morning in the mountains is always lively, and the opposite of last night is the crisp and pleasant sound of birdsong, which is especially beautiful in the ears.
Zhang Youtao was woken up by the pain in her abdomen, and in a daze, she first felt that her abdomen hurt a lot, and gradually, her whole body began to hurt, like the process of someone breaking her bones and then healing, it hurt and itched.
She tried to come to her senses, but her head was chaotic, her vision was eroded by the darkness, she couldn't see anything, and sweat ran down her forehead, stained her face, and slid into her neck, so that her skin and clothes were stained.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ears, "Zhang Youtao, Youtao......"
The darkness slowly cleared, the vision found its way, and the brain became clearer.
She sat up violently, covered in cold sweat, and there was a stunning face close at hand, but no matter how beautiful the face was, it was not beautiful to look at it like this.
"Why are you so close to me?"
Ji Yu hurriedly took a few steps back, looked at her and explained a little embarrassedly, "You should have had a nightmare just now, and you kept breaking out in a cold sweat, I just wanted to wake you up." β
Zhang Youtao then remembered the abnormality just now, she raised her hand to check it, and found that the ability that had disappeared for a long time had actually returned overnight! This news is by far the greatest comfort to her.
When her ability disappeared when she was locked up in a dark, damp dungeon, but she lived in the mountains overnight and then recovered, could it be that the ability also needed the right environment? But when she was in Quanzhou, she also stayed in the mountains for so long, why didn't she react at all, she couldn't make sense when she thought about it, so she didn't want to.
The most important thing at the moment is to get out of this deep mountain and old forest, the mountain road was blurred after nightfall last night, and they walked in the dark for a while, and now they don't know where they are, and they can't even tell where they came from last night.
The surroundings seemed to be about the same length, and there was no trace of anyone walking on them, and it was as painful for them as a blind man looking for a way.
Besides, the deep mountains are overgrown with weeds, and if you want to get there, you can only step on these weeds, and who knows what you will encounter when you step down.
"Wait!" Ji Yu stopped suddenly, his eyes were vigilant, and he listened carefully with his ears propped up.
Zhang Youtao heard the tight thread in her head 'jump' and break, as if she had been immobilized, and the raised foot swayed in the air and didn't dare to land.
Although Zhang Youtao didn't hear any noise, she absolutely believed in Ji Yu in this regard, after all, people have trained these since she was a child, and she is naturally much more powerful than her.
"This way." Ji Yu retracted his ears, and his speed was much faster than before.
Before Zhang Youtao could retract her legs, she had already seen Ji Yu walk out of more than ten meters, and hurriedly chased after her, and as soon as her speed accelerated, there was a noise.
After a while, Ji Yu stopped, looked at the hare caught by the prey in front of him, and glanced around a few times, "This should have been placed by the hunters in the mountains, let's wait here for someone to come." β
Zhang Youtao has no opinion, it may be difficult to get out just by relying on the two of them, and it is already a gift from God to be able to detect traces of people in this deep mountain at the moment.
In the blink of an eye, most of the day passed, and the two of them sat in the mountains and forests doing nothing, Ji Yu glanced at her, "Otherwise, we will roast this rabbit?" β
Zhang Youtao thought for a moment, "Okay." β
It was also a coincidence that they had just roasted the hare, and a figure came in the distance, and according to the figure, it should be a man of five big and three thick.
While they were struggling with whether the hare should eat or not, the man was already in front of them, and the three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was obviously very discordant.
Zhang Youtao reacted very quickly, "This trap is yours?" β
The man is eight feet tall, not as manic as the mountain villager, and it is rare to have a bit of bearing, but the look in his eyes is really unpleasant, squinting slightly, as if to say, 'It's not mine, it's rare to be yours?' β
But what they do does not make people give a good face, fortunately, they are self-aware, not to mention that now they have a request for others, even if the other party has a bad attitude, what can they do? Gritting their backbone and giving up this hard-won opportunity to go out of the mountain, they really can't do it.
"We strayed into the mountains, couldn't find our way out, and we were so hungry that we moved your prey." Zhang Youtao snatched the hare from Ji Yu and handed it to him, "Give it back to you." β
The man was not polite, he took a big bite and ate it, and the two of them swallowed for a while, and the two of them couldn't resist their appetite, so they stared at him like this and ate a whole hare.
The man buried the bones in the soil and put the traps back in before leaving. Now the two of them couldn't watch anymore, so they hurriedly caught up, not forgetting to lead the two horses.
The man suddenly stopped, looked back at the two of them, and said in a bad tone, "What are you doing with me?" β
Ji Yu was impatient, "Lead the way!" β
The man wanted to refuse, Ji Yu was too lazy to say anything, and directly pulled out the soft sword from his waist, pressed it against the man's neck, and all the words drifted away with the wind, and the man was stunned, and he was scared in his dark eyes. Electronic Chinese Network
Reluctantly led the way in front, "You're not from here, are you?" β
They naturally knew as soon as they heard such a simple clichΓ©, Zhang Youtao didn't think there was anything, "How do you know?" After asking, I felt that this was stupid, but in fact, the man was not very shrewd in asking, and some things could be seen at a glance, so there was no need to ask more.
The man snorted lightly, changing his previous indifferent attitude, and his words were extremely inadequate, "I have lived here since I was a child, and if I live here, I will not be so stupid as to get lost in the mountains. β
Zhang Youtao didn't want to pick up the stubble, and the conversation changed, "What's your name?" β
The man glanced back at them, and raised his eyebrows, "Feng Yi." β
The road was very harmonious, occasionally chatting a few words, but seeing that the sun was about to go down, they were still walking in the mountains and forests, some roads were not easy to walk, and they were still leading the horses.
Ji Yu didn't have much patience himself, "Boy, don't play with Lao Tzu!" β
Feng Yi's swarthy face was blurred a lot in the red sunset, "How dare you?" β
For some reason, Zhang Youtao heard a bit of banter from these two words, but she was not sure, so she could only silently follow the steps ahead.
The sun was setting, and the mountains and forests were getting colder and darker, and the joy from the beginning was withdrawn back to reality, and even the stupid people should be aware that something was wrong at this moment.
Zhang Youtao and Ji Yu glanced at each other, the two stopped, looked at the back of the striding east in front of them and were silent.
Sensing that they hadn't followed, Feng Yi also stopped and raised his chin, "Why don't you leave?" β
"It's not the way out of the mountains." Ji Yu's tone was indifferent, his hand had already reached the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes were full of vigilance, and his killing intent instantly appeared.
Hearing this, Feng Yi did not panic at all, but hooked the corners of his mouth, a curved crescent moon had been hung on the horizon, and the faint light shone on him and the smile was particularly weird, "It's been discovered!" The tone was very light.
At this time, Zhang Youtao also frowned, especially in this environment.
Shout!
Before they could react, ropes suddenly rose from the ground and enveloped them, but in a few breaths they were hung from the tree, unable to move.
In an instant, many stout men poured out of the surroundings, stabilizing them.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Youtao suddenly had no intention of resisting, but stared at Feng Yi who had nothing to do with himself, "Who are you?" β
"If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Feng Yi is also." Feng Yi raised his hand and nodded at the mountain behind him, "The second leader of Heifeng Village." β
At that moment, Zhang Youtao's mood was broken, no one would have thought that she would be a bandit if she met someone casually in the mountains and forests, how would she trust others in the future?
Feng Yi saw that the two of them were settled, so he let the rope net be lowered from the tree, and more than a dozen people who had already prepared immediately jumped up and tied them up, blindfolded by the way.
These mountain bandits were also uncompromising, and they carried them back to the cottage on their horses, and the bumpy and rugged tossing along the way made Zhang Youtao vomit bitterness, feeling uncomfortable and tight all over her body, but she couldn't speak.
"Second master, I look at the sign of this girl's birth, I don't know who you are going to be a mother-in-law." The men in the mountains speak vulgarly, and anything can pop out of their mouths.
On the contrary, the second boss was a little less arrogant, and it was precisely because of this that Zhang Youtao lowered her vigilance from the beginning.
At this moment, she heard him say: "Lao Tzu has never had a daughter-in-law, you fools are thinking about it all day long, get out!" β
"Hahaha!" The laughter was loud in the forest.
The man who spoke before was not poor, "If you want what you want, this will be rewarded to the little one!" β
Zhang Youtao's originally tossed pale face turned red instantly, if she could stand up, she couldn't wait to slap this shameless thing to death.
The man on the other side joked, "Dongzi, listening to the meaning of the second master is to look at it, don't think about it." β
"That's it!" A chorus passed, and the surroundings fell silent.
I don't know how long it took, when Zhang Youtao felt that her internal organs were about to pour out, the man from before spoke again: "What should I do with that white-faced little student?" It looks good, but it's useless to drag it back. β
A few men next to him reacted, and they also felt that it was not cost-effective to bring a white-faced student back, so they shouted and protested, "This is just an extra mouth to eat, of course, or we ...... it."
Although the latter words were not spoken, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, but anyone who understood knew what the unspoken meaning was.
"Idiot!" The abrupt voice sounded in this arrogant and domineering atmosphere, and Ji Yu was obviously tossed very much, and his voice was a little weak. However, these words obviously made the surrounding anger a little heavier.
"Hey! You little white face, you dare to scold Lao Tzu! β
