84. Fall off a cliff
Tian Taohua led the pursuing Khitan soldiers to a cliff, and saw that below the cliff was a turbulent river, and she had nowhere to escape.
In order to confuse the enemy, Tian Taohua returned her daughter's suit, wiped some soil from the ground, wiped it on her face, took a rope and carried a bundle of firewood, and walked over to meet the Khitan soldiers.
At this time, the Khitan soldiers caught up with the cliff under the leadership of Captain Li, but they had not yet found the figure being chased.
A Khitan soldier who was familiar with the terrain reported to Captain Li, "The place where this gang of thieves went is called Guillotine Cliff. What looks like a mountain is actually a cliff. The top is covered by woods, and when you reach the highest point, there is no way out, which is a cliff dozens of feet deep. Below the cliff is a river, and it is the boundary of Shanxi. ”
"Okay, where do I see this gang of thieves? All of them, search for me carefully, and never let a thief go. ”
"Yes!"
The Khitan soldiers he brought with him agreed.
They came to the bottom of the cliff, looked up at the woods that covered the mountains and dismounted.
High on the cliff, their horses could no longer be used, so they could only rely on two legs to search for the cliff.
In order to search carefully and carefully, Captain Li divided the soldiers he led into two groups, and only when the first group had climbed 50 meters of the cliff did he take the second group to climb the cliff.
The first group, halfway up the cliff, saw a woman carrying a bundle of firewood walking towards them. A Khitan soldier led by him asked Tian Taohua, "Did you find anyone going up?" ”
Tian Taohua replied: "Yes, it's you, aren't you human?" ”
The Khitan soldier said angrily: "Bastard, I'm the other person who asked!" ”
"Oh, I see. There was a group of people who went up there. I sued them that they couldn't get through, but the gang wouldn't listen and went up. ”
"You've got a lot of bullshit, get the fuck out!" The Khitan soldiers led by him brandished their waist knives and cut down a branch from the tree. I searched it with someone.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll get out right away!" Tian Taohua carried Chai He on his back and walked down. She thought that if she had passed their search, she would be safe now. As long as you go down the cliff and return the same way, you can get rid of the pursuit of the Khitan soldiers. Then, go after Li Danian and them.
Thinking of this, her heart was relieved, and she felt relieved,
However, it backfired.
At this moment, Captain Li appeared in front of Tian Taohua with the Khitan soldiers.
"Stop, who's who?" Seeing that it was a woman chopping wood, Captain Li asked sharply.
Tian Taohua was only thinking about her own thoughts, and was startled by this sudden shout, and her body couldn't help but tremble. And it was this action that dispelled Captain Li's suspicion of Tian Taohua.
Tian Taohua looked up and saw that he had come to the front of the Khitan soldiers, and he didn't know that he was really careless. She could only pretend to be surprised and said, "I am from the village below, my name is Zhang Erni." There was no firewood at home, so I went out to collect some firewood. ”
"Okay, let's go over." Captain Li stared at Tian Taohua's back with his eyes, and felt that he couldn't see any suspicion, but when he recalled the woman's voice, he felt so familiar, and he immediately remembered the woman's shout when he was chasing the thief.
Captain Li immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Catch that woman!" Don't let her run away! ”
The Khitan soldiers suddenly surrounded Tian Taohua.
Tian Taohua looked bad, threw away the firewood, and could only run sideways to the top of the cliff, the Khitan soldiers were in hot pursuit, Tian Taohua was forced to the cliff, jumped off the cliff with his eyes closed, and fell into the river......
