Chapter 19: The Bandits

In the middle of the night, when he was bored, he got up and went under the canopy to close his eyes and rest, and only the boatman was at the helm behind him.

Listening to the sound of gurgling water, the field slowly fell asleep, and today's battle, although he held his own martial arts, he failed unswervingly. But the death of the Xia family brother and sister made him entangled in self-blame for a long time, and now when he figured it out, he was tired and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up in the wilderness. He only felt soreness and weakness, and he couldn't feel his limbs anymore. His head was still groggy, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so he couldn't open them.

After a while, it seemed to be a little better, and Yuan Ye felt his body fall together, his stomach twitched with oppression, and he was nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"It's so bumpy, it's not like you're on a boat," said Yuan Ye secretly.

Fortunately, although he couldn't open his eyes, his body was weak, and he didn't listen to the call, his ears could still hear sounds.

Yuan Ye listened intently, only to hear the sound ......of "got, got, got" around him.

"This should be the sound of horses' hooves" From this sound, the field heard the sound of horses' hooves. There are also some horses on Wudang Mountain, and the sound of horses' hooves can certainly be distinguished in the wilderness.

It's just that there are some ordinary horses on Wudang Mountain, and there are no good horses.

Yuan Ye heard the seventh senior brother Mo Shenggu say that in the past, the fifth senior brother Zhang Cuishan had a very divine horse and a green horse. It's just that the fifth senior brother went to Lin'an to investigate the third senior brother's injury and disappeared. The green horse didn't know where it was lost.

Nowadays, there are some southern horses with short legs on this Wudang Mountain, and they go to the direction of the old estuary after descending the mountain in the field. Instead, he went straight through Shiyan Town and went straight to Yunyang, just to find a good horse. It's just that how could he have thought that as soon as he entered the Ling Mansion, he would encounter such a thing.

Gossip Hugh, the field had just heard the sound of horses' hooves, and was about to continue listening to the sounds around him. At this time, a man's voice sounded: "Boss, this kid is really blind, but those eyes are really terrifying." ”

Only then did Yuan Ye feel that the strip of white cloth on his face was gone, and it seemed that he had been taken down by these people. These people should have also seen the roll of his eyes.

"It seems that these are not ordinary people," Yuan Yuan thought.

Because if ordinary people saw his eyes, they would have thought that they had run away from hell.

"I'm afraid that he will do anything, no matter what kind of demons and monsters he is, Lao Tzu will go down with a knife and keep him to see Hades again", another rough male voice answered and said loudly.

Immediately, the man spoke again just now, "Hehe, although this kid has a pair of tricks that are scary, but the skin and flesh are really good, and the thin skin and tender flesh look at Lao Tzu's heart." Boss, go back to the stockade, or let me open meat for him. ”

"Hmph, Lai Gou, you are not allowed to touch this kid now. After asking which family this kid is, you get the ransom, and you will hand it over to you," said a man in a deep voice.

"It's the boatman!"

As soon as this voice entered his ears, the field instantly heard the owner of this voice, and this person was the boatman he took on the boat to Xiangyang.

"Heh, it seems that I was plotted by someone, and I still hold myself as a young man in the rivers and lakes, and I plotted against people on the first day I came out of the mountain. Fortunately, the master and the brothers don't know, otherwise the reputation of the whole life would be ruined. Thinking about this, Yuan Ye laughed at himself in his heart.

understands that he was plotted, but Yuan Ye is not still anxious. Since he woke up, he has slowly tried to exercise, and now his body has slowly regained consciousness.

Moving slightly, Yuan Ye found that his hands and feet were tied, and his body was lying across the horse.

"No wonder I want to vomit when I feel nauseous, my head is down, my stomach is pressed on horseback, and I don't want to vomit because I don't want to vomit," Yuan Yuan thought to himself.

In this luck, he also found out that he was poisoned, and the weight was not light. But as long as his strength recovers a little, he will naturally be able to suppress the toxicity, and when the time comes, he will take a Wudang detoxification elixir "Tianxin Detoxification Pill", and the poison on his body will be guaranteed to be solved immediately.

"I hope these thieves have knowledge, don't lose my baggage", the body regained his senses, but Yuan Ye found that the baggage was gone, obviously taken by these thieves.

Next, Yuan Ye pretended not to wake up, secretly exercising his skills, and at the same time secretly listened to the conversation of these thieves, so as to judge his own situation.

Slowly, Yuan Ye found that in addition to the three people just now, there were seven or eight other people following behind, obviously all in a group.

And he also heard that this place already belonged to the boundary of Xiangyang, and this group of people was a group of bandits in the mountains outside Xiangyang City.

On weekdays, these people go down the mountain to rob houses, but when there is no goal, the bandit boss disguises himself as a boatman and sails on the Han River.

If you meet someone who looks gorgeously dressed and has a net worth, you will stay and extort ransom. Alone, those who could not be extorted snatched and stripped naked, tied up with stones and sank into the Hanshui River.

If the poor people are taken back to the village, their families are detained to work as coolies in the village, and they are coerced to join them in raiding and robbing houses.

Today, Yuan Ye is also restless, and when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, he had no experience, and he didn't notice that the boatman's expression was wrong.

In normal times, he was afraid that he had already sensed the malicious intent of the boatman. After he fell asleep under the canopy, his heart was weary and he slept very deeply. There was no trace of defense in his heart, so he naturally fell into this plot.

After a short walk, the horses stopped, and the thief boss ran to the front and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door, I didn't see the boss come back, and then I will see that I don't break your dog's legs."

After shouting, he ran back to the bandit leader for a while, it seems that he can become a small leader, this sycophant kung fu has made a great achievement.

As the horses continued on their way with the sound of "creaking" wood rubbing, the wilderness guessing that the bandits had arrived at the stockade where they were hiding.

"Big Bear, you take this kid to lock him up, and call me again when he wakes up. This kid has fine skin and tender meat, and he carries hundreds of taels of silver with him, so he must be the young master of which family. These young masters want to take a sword and come to fill the young heroes of the rivers and lakes, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead. We're going to have to scratch it this time. The bandit leader who walked ahead commanded.

"Yes, boss," replied the gruff man just now.

Immediately, Yuan Ye felt that he was being lifted up, and staggered forward.

After walking for a while, it was cold all around, and only the man's footsteps echoed slightly.

Now that he could open his eyes, he opened them slightly, and he saw that they were indeed in a dark and damp passageway, where an oil lamp hung on the stone wall every short distance.

Through this dim glimmer of light, Yuan Ye saw that he was carrying him forward by a burly man with a fleshy face and a height of two meters.

"No wonder the bandit leader called him Big Bear, if he is really a man as his name", Yuan Ye thought as he looked at the strong man who was more than two meters tall and had dark skin.

After walking for another hundred meters, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of me, and it seemed that it was about to come to an end.

After walking forty or fifty meters, as the strong man walked out of the passage, he glanced at the field and saw that there was an underground cave of about 100 square meters in front of him.

At this time, more than a dozen oil lamps were lit on the four walls of the cave, exuding bright light.

The roof of the cave is tilted high on the left and low on the right, so the side on the right, which is two people high, happened to be built into a row of cells by the bandits.

At this time, there were a few people huddled in these cells, covered in dirt, and it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women, old or young.

As soon as the man walked out of the aisle, a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks suddenly appeared in the left corner of the cave, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Big Bear Boss, you are back, what good goods do you have today?" ”

"Well, it's this kid, lock him up, watch him out, and come back to call me when he wakes up", after saying that, the strong man threw the field into the cold ground, turned around and left.

Obviously, he didn't stay in this cold, damp, and foul underground cave. directly transferred the task given to him by the bandit leader just now to this bandit minion.

When the sharp-mouthed man saw that the strong man was gone, he cursed, lifted the field with great difficulty, and threw him into one of the cells.

Then he returned to the corner by himself, and immediately in the corner, there was a sound of smacking, apparently the wine and meat he had secretly prepared there for his exclusive enjoyment.

Seeing that the bandit didn't care about himself, he was with his ambition. Yuan Ye sat slightly upright, leaning against the cold rock wall, and continued to heal the poison.

By this time, his hands and feet had regained their mobility, and Yuan Ye estimated that he would be able to suppress the poison in three or four hours at most.

At that time, as long as the body can resume activities, even if the internal strength has not recovered, just by virtue of martial arts moves, this group of bandits will not be enough for him to clean up.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, and the field was slowly healing the poison. But there was a slight snoring sound in the corner, indicating that the thief who was watching him had gone to meet Zhou Gong at night.
