Chapter 5 Chasing the Fox
Tang Yun's whole person was buried in the bushes, and there was a half-person-tall cassia grass covering his figure, and it was impossible to see the figure shaking inside from the outside.
It wasn't until a group of Northern Wilderness people shouted past him that Tang Yun had a head emerging from the grass.
The secret buried here in the Northern Wilderness has been completely detected by them, and now it is exposed to this sunlight, and there is no way to hide.
Annoyed and angry, the Northern Wilderness thief Kou just wanted to chop the two people who sneaked in into meat foam, Tang Yun heard that these people were ready to spread out a search in this mountain forest.
From here there is a path that leads deep into the forest, which is not a standard path, but is surrounded by exposed rocks and few thorns on both sides.
Those people from the Northern Wilderness rushed here with torches in their hands, getting closer and closer to him, and even the nearest person was less than a foot away from him.
It was the best offensive distance for both sides, Tang Yun gave up the surprise attack, and the whole person was like a rock in the grass, motionless.
The people of the Northern Wilderness chased too fast, and the weight of the two of them on the horse that Tang Yun grabbed couldn't distance themselves from the people of the Northern Wilderness. So the moment Tang Yun scurried into the grass, the people of the Northern Wilderness came in an instant.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Several people from the Northern Wilderness began to beat on the grass with sticks, Tang Yun did not move, this is similar to beating the grass and startling a snake, if anyone can't bear the pressure in their hearts, they either flee or rebel, but without exception they will become the target of the public.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, the people of the Northern Wilderness left here to search for other places, and there was still a thorn outside the grass, and no one wanted to come in.
Tang Yun silently counted three counts in his heart, and disappeared into the darkness along the lower path.
In this endless darkness, the only thing that guided Tang Yun was the red light on the ring.
In the mountains and forests shrouded in darkness, the trees are like monsters with teeth and claws, the trembling of the ring becomes more and more obvious, and the more you look over, there is a black shadow flashing under the tree.
Tang Yun had fought with this monster, and now the claw marks on his arms have not yet healed.
On this moonlit night, a dark shadow suddenly flashed, and disappeared without a trace in a few moments.
It was a pure white white fox, which was particularly eye-catching in this darkness, it seemed to glance at Tang Yun lightly, and then disappeared without a trace.
This is the white fox.
The woman who fought fiercely in the rain that day finally turned into a white fox, scratched one of Tang Yun's arms, and escaped.
Hearing a noisy sound from a distance, Tang Yun's heart suddenly jumped, and he knew that something was wrong.
The demon has intelligence, and the fox demon has taken cunning to the extreme. It may have known that it could not defeat Tang Yun on its own, so it used a borrowed knife to kill people.
Its movements are so light that it leaves a sense of beauty even in the air, disappearing without a trace in a few dodges.
Several people from the Northern Wilderness had already rushed over with scimitars, they were attracted here by the white fox, but Tang Yun was found under the light of the torches. Tang Yun's black brocade clothes could blend into the darkness, but if the light was found, it would reflect the light, making Tang Yun's goal more obvious.
"Habas, Kuka!"
The people of the Northern Wilderness threw the scimitar directly, but Tang Yun didn't think about dodging, but instead pulled out the tiger head knife and looked at the scimitar in the front.
If you don't have the experience of fighting with the people of the Northern Wilderness, it is easy to suffer in this regard. Many soldiers of the Mobei Army subconsciously wanted to bow their heads to dodge when the scimitar came over, but they didn't know that the scimitar was rotating and going down more and more, and the more you bowed your head, the worse you died in the end.
The tiger head knife and the scimitar collided in pairs, the scimitar fell to the side weakly, and several people from the Northern Wilderness took advantage of a few almost shouting loudly, and a large number of chaotic footsteps fell into Tang Yun's ears.
Ding Ding Ding!
A few crisp sounds sounded, Tang Yun was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly jumped and pounced into the distance. This time it was head-on-the-ground, which was embarrassing, but very fast.
There were several hidden weapons like iron needles nailed to the ground, and the cold light shimmered in the moonlight.
This is a kind of hidden weapon unique to the people of the Northern Wilderness, wrapped around the hand, there is a spring-like device, only one finger is needed to pull the mechanism, and a limited number of iron needles will fly out.
Such an iron needle is much thicker than an embroidery needle, and the puncture will form a pit on the person's body, although it is not very fatal, but the wound formed is difficult to recover. Moreover, some vicious people from the Northern Wilderness will apply poison to the needle, although they can't see blood to seal their throats, but they will always be infected, and gradually worsen their injuries.
It is said that this secret weapon was walked out of the Ministry of Industry in the past, and it was originally used for craftsmen to use flying claws, but I don't know how it was taken away by the Northern Wilderness. It's just that the process seized by the Northern Wilderness is obviously flawed, that is, every time it is used, there will be a tinkling sound.
This pounce forward was the fastest way to escape from here, Tang Yun rolled around on the ground, and his whole body was covered with dirt. Although it is embarrassing, the important thing is to be able to save your life.
There was a scolding voice from the back of the Northern Wilderness, this secret weapon can only be used once, and it is always necessary to prepare steel needles again, and to make the spring taut again.
Tang Yun stepped on a mountain rock next to him, climbed the edge of the rock with both hands, and the whole person went up directly.
The ring was still trembling, and the white fox hadn't gone too far.
Tang Yun was also ready to continue the pursuit.
After running for about three incense sticks, silence returned behind him. However, Tang Yun did not let go of his heart, since the other party was ambushed here, he must be more prepared than himself. If nothing else, the terrain is definitely more familiar than his.
It is surrounded by three mountains, but it is not that the three mountains completely enclose the entire cottage. On the south side, there is also a dense forest, which is a natural barrier, and the faint sound of flowing water can be heard.
There was a river here, and the red light showed that the white fox had disappeared on the other side of the river.
Tang Yun jumped directly into the river, his entire body was instantly soaked in water, and his clothes became extremely heavy. The river was cold and biting, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on Tang Yun's body.
There were already torches coming out on the other side of the river, and there was a whizzing arrow flying from the opposite bank, Tang Yun had already swam to the middle of the river, and the flying arrow landed on the water surface behind Tang Yun, and the sharp power was transmitted to the bottom of the water, and finally turned into nothingness.
Tang Yun turned his head, and couldn't help but sigh that luckily, a few people from the Northern Wilderness seemed to be landlubbers, and they didn't plan to enter the water.
He swam all the way to the shore and crawled out of the water, and at this moment, the cold wind gusted, blowing on Tang Yun's clothes that were covered in water, making him shiver.
Bending down to rest for a while, Tang Yun suddenly felt as if there was something behind him, and when his hand touched his back, it turned out that there was an arrow that had pierced his body.
The icy river paralyzed his nerves, and Tang Yun didn't even feel the arrow stabbing his body.
Not daring to hesitate any longer at this moment, Tang Yun sat on a stone and grabbed the tail end of the arrow with his right hand. Because of the angle, he could only pull out the arrow diagonally, which drove the barb on the arrow edge, making him gasp in pain.
He decided not to pull out the arrow, forcing it out would only cause him to lose more blood. The blood stains that flowed out would not only make him weaker and weaker, but also leave traces for the people of the Northern Wilderness.
But keeping the arrow will implicate the movement of his arm.
It is necessary to avoid the battle, Tang Yun sighed secretly, they, the hunters who killed the Northern Wilderness on the grassland, seemed to have become prey. If you let a few of your companions who are still in the Mobei Army know, you may not be able to laugh at it.
Tang Yun suddenly held the knife in his hand, his eyes staring at the mountains and forests behind him.
There was a rustling sound behind the mountain forest, and a wild deer actually crashed through the jungle and ran towards Tang Yun.
This wild deer also looked to be a certain age, and the horns on its head were sharp and hideous, and it collided with Tang Yun at an extremely fast speed.
Sou!
The bowstring sounded, and from behind the jungle flew a sharp arrow, which stabbed directly into the deer's body. The wild deer screamed, but it didn't stop, and continued to rush towards Tang Yun.
Another arrow came, but this arrow was not aimed at the wild deer, but at Tang Yun.
Fortunately, Tang Yun reacted quickly enough, and reacted the moment the bowstring sounded, rolling to the right to avoid the sword. This wild deer directly hit the stone behind Tang Yun, and the flesh and blood of the collision on the spot were blurred.
"Little Liu, you stinky boy, where are the arrows flying?" Out of the grass came a father and son.
Both father and son were dressed as hunters, but because of the cold wind, they wore thick cotton clothes and carried a stiff bow outside.
The little child rubbed his eyes and said a little aggrieved: "Daddy, I haven't seen this person again, why did he come here in the dark?" ”
The man touched the child's head, walked up to Tang Yun, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, where are you from, how can you be here?" ”
Tang Yun's face turned pale, and he glanced back behind him, those people from the Northern Wilderness didn't know where they actually found a boat, and the torches were coming here.
The man apparently saw it too, and shouted to the child, "Little Liu, hurry up and drag this deer away." ”
Tang Yun stood up, and the man turned his head to Tang Yun and said, "Brother, that group of people from the Northern Wilderness will be found soon, why don't you go back with me." ”
Tang Yun hugged his fists and said, "Thank you!" ”
"Hey, they're all from Da Zhou, let's go!" The man grabbed the stag's horns with one hand and dragged the deer into the forest.
A wild deer looked very heavy, but I didn't expect that the father and son had enough strength to carry the deer.
Tang Yun watched silently, he didn't help, now that he has injuries on his body, helping will only make him waste more physical strength.
The man glanced at the arrow behind Tang Yun and said, "I think this arrow was stabbed by the Northern Wilderness man, alas, ......"
Tang Yun frowned and said, "You seem to have known for a long time that there are Northern Wilderness thieves infiltrating here, why don't you report to the official?" ”
"Reporter?" The man scoffed, "We've reported it several times!" ”
The man told Tang Yun that this place is called Taoyuan Village, which means paradise, but it is only a relatively remote terrain and is not really isolated from the world.
They reported to Luoyang County, and the Luoyang County Ya sent people to investigate, but they didn't expect that the Northern Wilderness had already been completely hidden.
Every time the government comes to check, Beihuang will use the same method.
Over time, Luoyang County only regarded the villagers as teasing the government and drove them out.
"Yushitai, Sixing Temple, the copper cabinet set up by His Majesty, haven't you all tried it?" Tang Yun asked.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "What virtues do you know about those officials, where can these yamen be touched by us grass people?" Even the guards need to give him money to report, as for the copper cabinet, I don't know how many eyeliners I walked around, who would dare to surrender? Anyway, those people from the Northern Wilderness have never killed anyone, and we don't want to meddle in our affairs. ”
In the distance, a cave appeared.
"Our village is behind this hole, brother, since you are injured, it is better to go into the village and talk about the injury, so as to avoid the pursuit of those Northern Wilderness thieves." The man said.
Approaching the entrance of the cave, Tang Yun's ring suddenly trembled violently.
