Chapter 344: Bitter Battle in the Mountains and Forests

There were officers and soldiers at the ferry crossing before, but now there is not a single officer or soldier in sight, could it be that they have all entered the mountain? Draft, have time to revise.

A few people walked around the ferry and returned to the inn.

The next day, I packed my luggage and set off early in the morning, came to the ferry, and got on the boat smoothly, and the passenger boat went down the river and into the Yangtze River.

At noon, when I came to the other side of the Yangtze River, I saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers standing at the ferry on the shore, but they did not check anyone's luggage, as if they were just maintaining law and order.

The passenger boat soon docked, and at this time, I saw a man in his thirties, squeezing through the crowd, and as soon as the boat docked, this man was the first to jump off the passenger boat and run towards more than a dozen officers and soldiers.

The man's abnormal behavior attracted the attention of several people, and while getting off the boat unhurriedly, he looked at the man, and saw the man running to the front of the officers and soldiers, pointing to the side of the boat, and saying something to the officers and soldiers.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers suddenly moved, grabbed the weapons in their hands, and quickly ran towards the passenger ship, shouting as they ran: "Everyone on board, all stop, stand on the shore!" ”

When Taiye and Xiao Laodao heard this, they glanced at each other, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed over, and, without looking for others, they went straight to Taiye and a few people, Taiye and Xiao Laodao looked at each other again, Xiao Laodao whispered, "That man is like a spy for officers and soldiers......"

Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and the officers and soldiers had already gathered in front of him.

"You guys, open up all the baggage!"

Xiao Laodao looked at more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and hurriedly clenched his fists, "I don't know what happened to the official?" ”

"Less nonsense, open it quickly!"

In the baggage of several people, it was either the guy who was digging the pit, or beads and jade, Xiao Laodao shook off the dust, and seemed to pick up the burden on his shoulder, but his hand suddenly reached into his arms, and he shouted: "Kill out!" ”

At this time, the master and a few people had already been waiting for the battle, Xiao Laodao broke off, and several people quickly drew their weapons.

The officers and soldiers were stunned, and before they could come back to their senses, the grandfather and a few people rushed towards them, and in an instant, they cut down three or four and rushed out of the encirclement.

The grandfather ran in front desperately, the officers and soldiers chased behind, near this ferry, there was a village, but the grandfather did not run into the village, and got into a forest next to the village.

Not far after running out of the woods, the officers and soldiers behind were gone, as if they had given up the pursuit. Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone at this time, "Hurry up, those officers and soldiers know that they can't catch us with a few of them, and they will definitely go back to move troops." ”

Then, Xiao Laodao measured the direction with a compass, and several people ran wildly in the forest.

Behind this forest is the mountain, through the forest, several people found a mountain road under the mountain, began to enter the mountain, when they climbed halfway up the mountain, they saw the dust in the distance below the mountain, as if a large army had crossed the border, it should be a pursuer.

Over the mountain, continue to move forward, is a number of peaks, the peaks on the vegetation luxuriant, the master at this time, feel that the grass and trees are soldiers, as if there are people everywhere.

Along the mountain path, continue to walk, in the second half of the night, a few people finally couldn't walk, on a mountainside, found a place, stopped to eat and rest.

At this time, in the distance behind him, the stars were lit up with torches, as if the pursuers had been chasing after him.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao muttered, "It's strange, chasing a few of us, why do you want to be so excited?" ”

As soon as Xiao Laodao's voice fell, on the mountain peak in the distance in front of everyone's eyes, a red light suddenly lit up, and it disappeared in a flash, and the master said when he saw this: "Is this another treasure?" ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled bitterly, and shouted in his mouth: "Fooled, fooled, this is not a strange treasure at all, this is fireworks, we saw it before, I'm afraid it's also this!" ”

"Fireworks?"

Taiye, Xiaoqing, including Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, all looked at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao said: "This is something that is released in the palace during the New Year's Festival, and the northern folk rarely see it, this thing, I have only seen it once in the Jiangnan area, it is beautiful when it is close, and I can only see a piece of light when it is far away, I didn't expect it, if I thought of it earlier, how can we not wade into this troubled water!" ”

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, they are setting off fireworks, either trying to lure us back, or they are reporting to other officers and soldiers." Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground, "Let's go on, when we get close to the mountain forest, those officers and soldiers will not dare to chase after them." ”

Everyone got up from the ground, dragged up their tired bodies, and continued to hurry, Xiao Laodao turned back as he walked, "I hope that the gold and silver in the cave will not be discovered by them, and when the limelight passes, we will come back to get it." ”

Continuing to hurry, everyone walked in the mountains in one breath to the second half of the night, and finally, they couldn't walk anymore. The crowd had to find a place on the top of the mountain.

Xiao Laodao took out the compass, measured the direction, and nodded, "The direction is right, rest until dawn, and you will be able to rush to the village outside the mountains and forests at noon tomorrow." ”

The master asked, "In that village, there will be no more ambushes, right?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at the master, "It's hard to say, but if we want to go through the forest, we must buy food in the village, otherwise, we may have nothing to eat like when we came." ”

The next day, when it was dark and several people set off again, they found that the weeds were moving under the mountain, and it seemed that many people were hidden.

Xiao Laodao suddenly frowned, "These officers and soldiers shouldn't be able to catch up so fast, why don't they seem to have someone under the mountain?" ”

Before the words fell, a pair of black-clothed people came out of the forest below the mountain, and there were dozens of them, quickly climbing towards the mountain.

Seeing this, the master and the others were all vigilant, turned around and left, the black-clothed people under the mountain didn't seem to notice the master, but their tracking methods seemed to be very clever, obviously chasing the traces left by the master along the road.

Xiao Laodao beckoned to the grandfather and a few people, "These people are not ordinary, leave quickly!" ”

Many black-clothed people climbed on the other side of the mountain, and the grandfather and a few people went down the mountain on the other side of the mountain. By the time the man in black climbed up the mountain, the master had already gone down the mountain and walked away, and Xiao Laodao asked Xiao Shiyi to erase the traces left by a few people.

Xiao Shiyi wiped the traces very well, took two branches in his hand, and while walking, he picked up the weeds that were stepped on by everyone, the speed was very fast, after the weeds were lifted up, the traces of trampling were reduced a lot, if you don't pay attention, you can't see that people have walked on it.

At noon, everyone really came to the previous village, and through the village, it was the primeval mountain forest before.

However, the Taiye and a few people did not rush into the village, Xiao Laodao asked the Taiye and Xiao Chujiu to stay, he took Xiao Shiyi into the village, and among several people, except for Xiaoqing, only Xiao Laodao and Xiao Shiyi were not injured. After running such a long way with an injury, the grandfather and they were already a little unbearable.

After Xiao Laodao took Xiao Shiyi into the village, after being able to have a meal, Xiao Laodao came back and bought two bags of dry food. The village is not bad, there are no officers and soldiers.

A few people quickly walked through the village and into the primeval mountain forest.

After entering the forest and walking for a while, everyone stopped to rest and eat, and after eating, Xiao Laodao checked the wounds of the three masters, perhaps because they did not get rest in a continuous hurry, the injuries of the three masters did not improve, and there were signs of wanting to suppurate.

Xiao Laodao couldn't help but worry, he had also walked into the primeval mountain forest where the monsters were haunted, and he didn't have to worry so much, so everyone began to move slowly.

In the evening, everyone stopped to rest, and at this time, they could no longer feel the pursuers behind, and they also lit a bonfire in the woods, ate something, and slept around it.

I don't know when I slept, but I heard footsteps around me, and I immediately sat up from the bed.

At this time, the bonfire had been extinguished, and I saw that around the camp, shadows were surrounded by black shadows, and the grandfather jumped up from the ground in a moment.

Followed by a sneer, the master suddenly screamed that it was not good, flashed to the side, and a cold arrow grazed the master's clothes and swept over, the master was suddenly shocked in his heart, it was an iron arrow, and the tail of the arrow did not have a feather. The owner of the iron arrow, I was afraid that it was the one in the cave, and the master suddenly shouted: "There are ambush soldiers, get up quickly!" ”

With a suffocation, Xiao Laodao and a few people sat up from the cover, and at this time, the surrounding black shadows pulled out the waist knives in their waists, like ghosts, and surrounded the master.

When the master saw it, these people walked silently, and their body style was also very light, and they should all be masters!

As soon as the two compartments were in contact, sure enough, with the skills of the master, they could barely be hostile to the three, Xiao Laodao and a few people, one-on-one were their opponents, and after a few faces, the master and several people were defeated and fell behind.

Xiaoqing exclaimed at this time, brother, the master turned his head to look at Xiaoqing, and was slapped in the chest, and suddenly felt that his chest was suffocating, and he almost vomited blood.

Seeing Xiaoqing, he had been held by two black-clothed people with swords, the master endured the discomfort and wanted to go over to rescue, but he was flown in a leg, kicked on the waist, staggered a few steps forward, and almost didn't fall, the grandfather was immediately furious, dodged the fist opened by one person, the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword cut forward, and with a stabbing sound, the clothes on the chest of a man in black were cut, however, the black shadow body was dexterous, and he was not cut to the flesh, followed by the counterattack of five or six black shadow people.

At this time, Xiao Laodao snorted and was knocked to the ground with a palm.

"Master!" Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Eleven shouted at the same time. Almost at the same time, Xiao Shiyi was knocked out of the short sword in his hand, and the knife also entered his neck.

Xiao Chujiu was even more anxious, picked up the big knife and slashed indiscriminately, he wanted to rescue Xiao Laodao Who knows, suddenly a cold arrow shot out from the shadows, directly through his shoulder, Xiao Chujiu's arm suddenly couldn't be raised. Immediately after, the big knife was knocked out, and the cripple was also used to hold the cripple.

The ghost monkey saw that everyone was invincible, and climbed up along a big tree, it didn't want to leave everyone behind, but it had already been explained by Xiao Laodao, in case everyone was defeated and captured, you ran first, and then took the opportunity to save us.

After the ghost monkey climbed the tree, the man in black ignored it, and dozens of men in black besieged the master at the same time.
