Chapter 414: Cross-examination
Walking into the stone wall of the canyon, the air has become a lot more gloomy, the terrain here is very strange, the peaks on both sides are towering into the clouds, such as wolf teeth protruding, reaching into the sky, but the passage in the middle is very narrow, narrow enough to allow only two people to pass side by side, and the narrower place must be turned sideways to walk.
No wonder Songcha is so confident, there is not even a guard in the cave entrance to the village, it is impossible for the large army to pass through here in a short time, and the time will definitely be discovered, as for the few people, even if they enter the village, I am afraid that it will not pose any threat to this.
Passing through the canyon, presenting in front of you is a large Miao village, Miao Village is not built on the flat ground, but the side of the steep cliff that stands up, the cliff that falls dozens of meters can be seen everywhere in the wall, on both sides of each cliff, then cross it with the iron chain of arm thickness, build a simple bridge, it is possible to fall down the cliff end if you are not careful, it is particularly dangerous.
The buildings in the village are not stacked together, but several houses in the east and west, and each house has a wooden bridge in between, and it is difficult to imagine how the people here have survived for generations.
I whispered, "Why did you build a stockade in such a sinister place?" ”
Song Yuan looked around cautiously and pulled me to a hidden place to hide, then lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, maybe it's to defend against foreign enemies, Heili Miao Village's style in Miao Jiang's generation is very domineering, and almost all the villages have formed enmity, but Miao Jiang is not their own family, there are other villages eyeing each other, and building the village like this can greatly prevent foreign invasions." ”
His analysis was very reasonable, no one could be so cautious, plus the narrow valley entrance, and the rows of forests full of snakes, insects, rats and ants outside the entrance, even if an army was transferred, it was indeed impossible to break through the defense line here in a short time.
I whispered, "Aren't you looking for Bao Weng, where does her family live?" ”
Song Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
Yes?
I was stunned for a moment, and said speechlessly, "How did you do it, you keep saying that you want to take people away, and you don't even know where people live, how do you lead the way?" Song Yuan said helplessly, he from the first day of entering Miao Village, he was imprisoned in the grotto behind the village, living a dark life, although he came to Miao Village for two years, but he did not know the specific structure of the village, Bao Weng was in the grotto every time he met her, so she did not know where Bao Weng's home was.
I frowned and said, "It's not realistic to go from house to house, so it's getting dark, so I'll scratch my tongue and ask, don't you move, you know?" ”
Song Yuan swallowed his saliva, nodded vigorously and said, "Then be careful!" ”
I didn't say anything, but squinted into the depths of the stockade, always looking for a convenient target.
About ten minutes later, I finally waited for a figure, it was a Miao man about three or four years old, carrying a torch in his hand and patrolling the night, looking at the outfit on his body, but the ordinary Miao people were dressed differently, and it seemed that his status in the clan was not low.
Song Yuan tugged at my sleeve lightly, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ye, I know this guy, he is one of the guards under the high priest, who is specially responsible for guarding the prisoners, there are about seventy or eighty guards like this in Heili Miao Village, they are the backbone of the village, and these people don't blink an eye when they kill people." ”
"Really?" I rubbed my chin, smiled coldly, and bowed my body back slightly, while communicating with the Dragon Spirit Gu.
Long Linggu seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that he had missed a "dinner" just now, grinding and chirping, and only lent me a little strength for a long time, I took a deep breath and adjusted the angle of my body until my whole body remained in a peak state, and then I was still and still.
Raiding is not the same thing as going head-to-head, I can't give my opponent any time to react, and if he says something, we'll be done.
I lurked quietly in the darkness, like a ghost in the night, counting each other's footsteps in my heart. One-step, two-step, three-step...... As the distance got closer, I tensed all my muscles, and when the man walked to me less than two meters, I exerted force on my heels, and a quick step jumped out and came behind the man in the blink of an eye.
The man was startled by me and instinctively wanted to shout, and I immediately reached out to cover his mouth.
He struggled for a while, and found that it was useless, so he reached out and touched the Miao knife on his waist, but I was one step faster than him, and I had already snatched the Miao knife in advance, held the handle of the knife in my hand, and with a turn of my wrist, the blade immediately attached to the person's neck.
I crossed the knife and pressed down hard, and the man fell to his knees, looking at me with a look of horror in his eyes, and I said in Hmong, "Don't move, don't speak, be careful of your head falling to the ground!" ”
He blinked vigorously, sweat was scared out, I grabbed his collar with one hand, and forcibly dragged the person into the dark, this person's eyes glanced at Song Yuan hiding in the dark, and immediately whispered, "Aren't you the ......?"
"Shut up!" I loosened the tip of my knife forward, and a wisp of blood oozed from his neck, and he trembled with fear, "You guys...... Is it to take revenge on the stockade? ”
I put a knife on his face and said in a deep voice, "It's not your turn to ask, I'll ask, you answer, where does the Bao Weng family live?" ”
The man shuddered and turned his hand back and pointed in the other direction of the stockade, "On the left, on the third foot, the one near the drawbridge." ”
I continued, "What about Songcha? ”
"No...... No, the high priest never let us know his whereabouts. He looked at me with a shudder of his lips, "What the hell is your purpose?" ”
I lowered my face and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, there's another question, where is Amanli?" ”
"Miss, do you know her?" The man looked at me with a frightened look on his face and said, "She's still in the stockade, how can you ......?"
"Thank you for telling me this!" I smiled coldly, turned the tip of the knife towards his major artery, pressed my wrist and pulled the handle of the knife, and after a "poof", a hideous wound was pulled out of the man's neck, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, and before I could even say a word, I fell to the ground, and my limbs twitched a few times, and I never moved again.
"Brother Ye, ......" Song Yuan's face changed color in fright, and he quickly stood up and said, "You killed someone!" ”
"If he doesn't die, he will definitely find a way to inform his companions, he can't take care of so much!" I pointed to the place where this man had just said, and said in a deep voice, "There are dead people in the village, someone will definitely find out before dawn, we don't have much time, you go to find Bao Weng immediately, remember, you must leave before dawn, understand!" ”
"Got it!" Song Yuan nodded, hesitated, looked at me and said, "That'...... What about you? ”
I said I can't leave yet, I have to find a way to lurk here, there's not much time, you can go quickly!
After saying that, I didn't look back into the darkness and walked towards the back mountain.
I have already seen the dark passage of the grottoes in the back mountain, Song Yuan said that the people captured by Heili Miao Village are inside, it seems that that place must be very important to the entire Heili Miao Village.
I haven't forgotten my mission yet, and I must find an opportunity to destroy the zombie Gu.
