Chapter 21: The Strongman

Shen Muyao's side also entered the mountains and forests. The forests in the south are exceptionally lush and there are many precious herbs, and Shen Muyao is collecting herbs in addition to hurrying every day. After the journey was completed this day, Shen Muyao took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dusk, and plunged into the forest with Ah You. The forest was very large, and it was almost dark before Ah You reminded her that she was leaving.

Shen Muyao just hummed a little song and walked a few steps, when she was suddenly grabbed by Ah You's arm: "Girl, don't move." ”

After Shen Muyao experienced the last time, she also became a lot more sensitive. When I listened carefully, I noticed that there was a faint crying noise on the left. Ah You motioned for her not to move, pulled out the sword at his waist, and walked over.

The cry was getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer to the source, Ah You clenched the sword in his hand, hid behind a big tree, and quietly glanced at it-

At the foot of the hillside, there was a hut, more than a dozen officers and soldiers stood outside, a few people were pulling a child who didn't look very old in the yard, and a woman knelt beside the child and grabbed the child, and the cry made the listeners heartbroken: "Please, please let him go!" He's just a half-old child, and if he goes to the battlefield where he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, he can only die! ”

Shen Muyao heard the movement very much, and unconsciously stood next to Ah You. Ah You's fists clenched tightly, and he couldn't bear to turn his head. Shen Muyao was also heartbroken when she looked at it, and asked, "Why don't we go up and save him?" The kid ......."

Shen Muyao was shocked. The other party adds up to nearly twenty people, she doesn't know martial arts, just Ah You alone, there is a certain degree of difficulty. If it doesn't work, the government will investigate and know that she is Xiao Heng's wife, but I don't know what will happen.

Therefore, Ah You, who has always been impulsive, will be extraordinarily forbearant and restrained: his main duty is to protect her Shen Muyao, and he can't stop this situation.

The woman's face was covered with tears, her hands were tugging at the child's sleeves, and there were several red and swollen marks on her head. The official kicked her viciously: "Ignorant woman, if you dare to disturb the official's work, I will take your life first!" ”

When the child saw his mother being beaten, he struggled even harder, crying louder: "Mother! Don't touch my mother! The woman fell to the ground, crawled over with her hands and feet, grabbed the man by the leg of his trousers, and kowtowed heavily: "Please, please!" ”

That cry cut people's hearts with a thousand knives. Shen Muyao couldn't bear it, but still said: "Ah You, you protect me for Ah Heng." Ah Heng is again for the peace of the world. I, Shen Muyao, if I am indifferent to this scene, I am not Xiao Heng's wife. Please, save them! ”

Ah You glanced at her. How good is he himself? Now that she has Shen Muyao's words, she is not afraid: "Miss Shen be careful." ”

With that, he jumped down, and before those people could react, he slashed at one of them with a sword, and the flesh flew up. He jumped into the air again, kicked at the rushing man, kicked the man into the air, and then slashed straight into the middle. Four or five people will be solved between a few movements, and a few people will be solved with one grab and one trip, one pick and two stabs, and a few people will be solved in three or two strokes. The child who was pulling saw that someone was interfering, and they abandoned the child and rushed over. Ah You picked up the sword of the fallen man and threw it, hitting it right in the face. He dodged the sword of a man on his side, and he grabbed and stabbed with his left hand. When the people in the courtyard saw that the situation was not good, they slammed the woman away and was about to leave. But before he could take a few steps, he suddenly collapsed: a silver needle went straight into his eyebrows.

After dealing with these people, Ah You breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Muyao also rushed down the hill and narrowly supported the woman: "Auntie, are you okay?" ”

The woman shook her head, broke away from her hand, and threw herself at the child: "Xiaotian, are you okay?" Let my mother see if it's hurt? Have pity on my miserable heart......"

After that, he hugged the child and cried bitterly. When the child saw his mother crying, his heart was broken, and he also cried: "Mother, mother, I'm afraid ......"

The woman checked the child up and down, and when she saw that he was fine, she turned around, knelt down at the two of them, and kowtowed a few times: "The great kindness of the benefactor to save my son, I will never forget it!" "I slammed it on the ground a few more times.

Shen Muyao hurriedly helped her up: "Don't thank you so much, you get up first." He also asked: "How can there be officers and soldiers in this deep mountain and old forest to arrest people?" Why would they arrest a child? ”

The woman wanted to cry again: "We lived in a small village at the foot of the mountain, but suddenly a group of officers and soldiers came, saying that the war in the northwest was tight and that we wanted to pull some people to the battlefield. There weren't many young people left in our village who went out to work hard, but I didn't expect those people to even catch their children! These half-grown children, on the battlefield of eating people and not spitting out bones, aren't they also fatal! ”

She burst into a low cry again. After a pause, he continued: "I fled with Ah Tian on the head of the mountains and forests, who doesn't know that there are so many bandits and bandits? But what can be done? As a result, I don't know which heart was taken out by the wolf, and he actually denounced us with those officials. Those wolf thieves...... "She couldn't say any more."

When Shen Muyao heard this, she was also bitter in her heart. She whispered to the woman and asked, "What are your plans?" That's all it. ”

The woman shook her head: "How do you know...... Or, no," she seemed to dare not speak, but she looked at the child again and gritted her teeth: "Ask the girl to take us out!" I will be a cow and a horse in the future, and I will repay the girl's great kindness, I just ask you to keep my family safe! ”

Shen Muyao nodded: "We will help you go out, you calm down first, pack your things and go with us." ”

When the woman saw that she was willing, she knelt down to her again: "O Bodhisattva! The girl's great kindness cannot be repaid! ”

The woman hastily packed up her things and walked over with the child. The kid never made much noise, and obediently followed his mother. The woman brought him to Shen Muyao: "Quick, hurry up and call sister, sister saved us and kowtowed to her." ”

Shen Muyao hurriedly said no. She crouched down, looked directly at the child, and asked him, "What's your name?" ”

The child was afraid of life, so he shrank timidly behind his mother, but still said, "I, my name is Xiaotian." ”
