Chapter 405: The Battle of the Cottages
Several people left the burial cave and continued to walk along the path towards the mountain, but after walking for a short time, the slope gradually became steeper, and the path came to an end, and the wild grass was dense in front of them, and no one seemed to walk up the mountain again.
Several people searched around, but found no other way. Afterwards, several people grabbed the weeds and shrubs on the hillside and spent more than an hour climbing to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the mountain breeze brings a touch of coolness. After everyone rested on the top of the mountain for a while, Xiao Laodao got up and looked around, and said to a few people: "Spread out and look for it, remember, wherever there are tombs, they are either very flat or there is no grass." ”
A few people immediately scattered to look for it, but with a huge mountain peak and it was still night, looking for a tomb was like a blind man touching an elephant.
Looking around, before I knew it, the sky was overcast, and at this time, everyone was sleepy, and they hadn't closed their eyes for two days and two nights.
Xiao Laodao ordered everyone to rest on the top of the mountain, and after dawn, he used the compass to give it a try.
Everyone slept on the top of the mountain until the third pole of the sun, Xiao Laodao was the first to wake up, woke everyone up, and then came to the back mountain, that is, the other side of the peak. I saw that the back mountain was actually full of cliffs, like a knife, and you could see a mountain peak opposite through the cliff.
At this time, Xiao Laodao took out the compass, compared with the surrounding scenery, walked back and forth on the edge of the cliff a few times, and finally, Xiao Laodao pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said to everyone: "There seems to be a feng shui treasure in the middle of this cliff. ”
When Xiao Shisan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you mean, is the tomb buried under this cliff, so how can we go down?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at him and said, "It's not a problem to go down, the key is, will these barbarians be buried according to the feng shui layout of the Han people?" ”
Afterwards, Xiao Laodao asked Xiao Twelve to connect all the ropes they brought, and he tied one end of the rope around his waist, holding a compass in his hand, and let everyone put him down along the cliff.
After the time when he could have a meal, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone below, and everyone pulled him up again.
After taking a breath, Xiao Laodao said to everyone: "There is indeed a feng shui treasure under the cliff, but ......" Xiao Laodao shook his head, "But there is no trace of excavation in the mountain there, and it seems that the tomb is not on the cliff." ”
"Where would that be?" Xiao 13 asked.
Xiao Laodao said: "It must be on this mountain, let's spread out and look for it, or according to what I said, find a flat place and a place where no grass grows." ”
The crowd dispersed again, this time, the sight was good, but they needed to beware of being discovered by the people in the village at the bottom of the mountain.
Everyone found that the sky was dark from dawn, but there was no gain, at this time, not only the grandfather, but even Xiao Laodao suspected that the information given by Tanma was wrong.
In a blink of an eye, it was late at night, and several people were helpless, and in the whole day, several people almost turned over the top of the mountain and the surroundings.
Xiao Laodao immediately beckoned a few people, went down the mountain overnight, waited for tomorrow dawn, and then looked at the whole mountain, if there was no trace of the tomb, he went to other mountains to find other tombs.
Several people returned in vain, followed the path down the mountain, and soon, from the path, returned to their cottage. At this time, it was already late at night, and it was quiet in the cottage, and everyone was asleep.
The grandfather and a few people clinged to the mountain, bypassed the houses in the stockade, and came to a remote fence.
Just when everyone was about to climb over the fence, the master hurriedly stopped them and took them behind a hidden mountain next to the fence, at this time, Xiao Laodao gestured to the grandfather and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The master gestured and replied: "There are people outside the cottage, I just saw a few figures shaking in the bushes outside." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he gestured and asked, "Who are they?" ”
The master gestured and replied: "I didn't see it clearly, it seems that the person who came is not good." ”
Xiao Laodao gestured and asked, "Did they see us?" ”
The master gestured and replied: "I didn't see it, we'd better hide here first and wait for them to leave before leaving." ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, gesticulated, and said, "Bao Buqi is with us, and he also wants to come here to get rich." ”
At this moment, there was a movement from the fence, poof, poof, a few sounds, the grandfather's body was close to the mountain, the probe looked at the fence, and hurriedly gestured to Xiao Laodao and a few people, "They came in, there are still a lot of people, shouldn't they come to ......"
Before the uncle's gesture was finished, suddenly there was a light of torches, and the grandfather looked at the fence against the mountain again, and saw that the few people who jumped in all lit torches, followed by them, and used torches to ignite the nearby bamboo huts and thatched huts.
The bamboo huts and huts were very dry, and when they saw the fire, several thatched huts were on fire.
Then the firelight, the master looked at the people who jumped in again, these people were also dressed in strange costumes, each with machetes and spears in their hands, and their faces seemed to be smeared with blood, one by one, looking very scary, like evil spirits coming out of hell.
Xiao Laodao also glanced at it, and whispered to the master and a few people: "These are not our peers, I'm afraid this is another tribe attacking them." ”
Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and the shouts of killing around the village were everywhere, and the people in the village were all awakened, but the people outside the village seemed to have been ambushed a long time ago, and the people who rushed from the hut had not yet been able to figure out the situation, and they were either cut off by the people who jumped in, or they were shot by flying arrows.
For a time, in the burning stockade, the shouts of killing, the cries of women and children, mixed with the sky-high firelight, alarmed the whole night.
Seeing this, Xiao Laodao greeted the grandfather, these have nothing to do with us, take advantage of the chaos and leave quickly.
The grandfather and his people bypassed the barbarians shouting in the stockade, and came to the fence again along the mountain, at this time, the wooden fence had been overturned by the attackers, and some places were still on fire, and it was a mess.
Just as everyone was about to step over the fence and leave, a woman with a baby in her arms ran out of a hut, and behind her, followed by a vicious man with a machete, the woman ran a few steps, and the vicious man slashed the woman's back, and the woman screamed and fell to the ground with the child.
The man didn't want to let her go, walked a few steps, came to the woman, raised the machete with both hands, clicked, the woman's head fell from the cavity, and then, the man turned the woman's body over, the woman was still holding the baby in her arms, the man raised the knife again, it seemed that he wanted to cut off the baby's head, at this time, "whoosh", the man suddenly became excited, held the machete and stopped moving, and saw that the man's heart was full of a short sword.
Xiao Laodao suddenly yelled at the master: "Brother, what are you doing with this idle matter!" ”
The grandfather said coldly: "Even killing women and children, is it tolerable or unbearable?" With that, the master strode up to the man who had died of anger, pulled out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from his heart, and then walked towards those who attacked with the short sword.
Xiao Laodao was anxious when he saw this, and shouted a few times to the master, but the master ignored him, Xiao Laodao stomped his feet, glanced at Xiao Shiyi and the three people, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, pull out the guy!" ”
Xiao Laodao and several people joined the battlefield with the master. These barbarians are all dressed similarly, the only difference is that the attacking group of people have blood on their faces, and you only need to look at their faces to tell who is the attacker and who is the person in the cottage.
Due to the addition of the grandfather, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse, and the people in the cottage quickly stabilized their positions and began to counterattack.
For a while, the firelight reflected the figures of the fighting, and a tragic battle was staged in the night.
A few people in Taiye, except for Xiao Laodao, the other people are all one against ten, especially Xiao Shiyi, who has not seen him for more than two years, not only is he an adult, but his kung fu has also risen a lot, although he is not as good as Taiye, but he seems to be stronger than Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen.
These people in the cottage didn't understand at first, but later found out that the Taiye and a few people were helping them retreat from the enemy, so they no longer paid attention to the Taiye and attacked the enemy with all their might.
The battle lasted for an hour, and at last, the attackers left behind nearly a hundred corpses and retreated. On the side of the cottage, men, women and children, there were nearly 100 dead and injured.
Xiao Laodao saw that the invading enemy was retreating, and immediately beckoned the master to leave, but it was too late to leave at this time, and they had already been noticed by the people in the cottage, because among the enemies who came, ninety percent were beaten and knocked down by the master, and almost all of these people in the cottage followed a few people to mend the knife.
Especially the master, a short sword by himself, knocked over more than 30 people. At this time, several people were surrounded by people in the cottage, and one of them quickly recognized the grandfather, and said in a lame official dialect: "You are those Han people a few days ago!" ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly smiled and said to this person: "Yes, we are Han people who came a few days ago, we have no malice, we just want to pick some herbs on the mountain, I can't bear to see those barbarians killing the old and weak women and children, so I can't bear it, so I made a move, don't misunderstand." ”
As soon as Xiao Laodao's voice fell, an old man walked in from outside the crowd, and the old man muttered a few words, and the person who knew the official language immediately said: "Our elder said, you saved our cottage, you are our benefactor, if you have any requirements, you can put it forward." ”
Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "We don't have any requirements, but we just draw a knife to help when we see injustice, can you let us go." ”
The man who knew the official language immediately said a few words to the old man, as if he was translating Xiao Laodao's words, the old man listened, and said a few more words, and the person who understood the official language immediately said: "Our people will repay their kindness, please stay first, and when we finish disposing of these corpses, we will set up a banquet to thank you." ”
When the master heard this, these people didn't seem to want to let them go, but there didn't seem to be any malice, Xiao Laodao rolled his eyes, and said to the old man with a smile, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate......
