Li Zongliang carried Li Xiaoqi on his back, and rushed into the forest first, Wei Shuisheng and Li Erhuai followed closely behind and also entered the forest, more than a dozen officers and soldiers chased to the edge of the forest, stopped, gathered in one place to discuss a few words, turned his head to look at the galloping horse, and waited for the leader to come.

After entering the forest, several people ran dozens of steps away, turned a small hill, Li Zongliang stopped, Li Zonggui gasped and said in a low voice: "I didn't chase after me." ”

Li Zongliang's feet slowed down slightly, he paused for breath, and sent Li Xiaoqi up, Li Zonggui also paused, supported his ears, and listened attentively to the movement outside the forest: "There are horses coming, five." ”

"Don't be afraid, you can't run horses in this forest." Li Zongliang replied in a low voice, outside the forest, several horses had galloped to the edge of the forest, the horses raised their front hooves high to stop castration, and the little leader who was riding proudly on the horse waved his whip and was about to speak, but he heard a terrible sound of breaking the air.

"We have to hurry up, take ••••••it lightly" Wei Shuisheng's words were interrupted by the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and his frightened face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously pounced over, and protected Li Zongliang with his body, Li Erhuai was so shocked that his mouth was half open, his eyes were wide open, and he stayed there, Li Zonggui's ears moved, pointing to the outside of the forest, but he couldn't speak.

The terrible sound of the arrow, flew out of the forest, a long carved arrow, accurately shot in the throat of the little leader, still castrated, blood splashed the little leader off the horse, the horse was frightened, straight up the front hooves turned over, back and forth fell wildly, the little leader dragged one foot in the horse's pedal, the head kept bouncing and falling on the ground, and was dragged out of a thick line of blood by the horse.

The people outside the forest and in the forest were stunned, and before they could react, there were a few more arrows, and the four officers and soldiers on the horses fell off their horses in response, and the arrows only passed through their throats. The dozen or so officers and men who were standing there finally reacted, and they didn't care about anything else, so they scrambled to turn around and run wildly, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out a few more times, piercing through the back, nailing several officers and men who were screaming in terror while fleeing to the ground obliquely.

Li Zongliang has put Li Xiaoqi down, the four of them are nervously holding the weapon in their hands, staring at the direction of the arrow in fear, Li Zongliang is facing the direction of the arrow, holding the spear with one hand, and pushing Li Xiaoqi with one hand, hiding her tightly behind him, Wei Shuisheng holds the spear in his hand with both hands, close to Li Zongliang, only feels that his palms are full of cold sweat, if this arrow is shot at himself, can he block it? Li Erhuai was next to Li Zongliang's other side, swallowed his saliva heavily, swallowed saliva again, and held the stick horizontally, if this is a wrought iron rod, it is designated to be able to block this arrow, as long as it is not blocked, Li Zonggui held the knife in his hand, covering Li Xiaoqi from behind, his ears moved slightly, and he listened intently to the direction of the arrow.

There was silence around, a bird flew over, stopped on the tree next to it, jumped a few times, and flew away with loud 'fluttering' wings, Li Zonggui nervously hoarse throat, and whispered: "It seems to be gone." ”

Li Erhuai let go in one breath, his legs were weak, he sat down on the ground, raised his hand to wipe his sweat and muttered: "My mother, where did this kill god come from!" Scared the hell out of me. ”

"Less nonsense! Let's go! You can't stay here for long! Li Zongliang squatted down, put Li Xiaoqi on his back, and greeted everyone in a deep voice:

"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look, look at the arrows." Wei Shuisheng said in a low voice, Li Zongliang thought about it, and put down Li Xiaoyi: "Well, it's okay to go and take a look, I also have a number in my heart, Erhuai and Guizi are guarding my sister here." Saying that, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng carried the gun, jumped to the edge of the forest in a few steps, Li Zongliang held the gun and was vigilant around, Wei Shuisheng squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while, stood up, signaled to Li Zongliang, the two of them rushed back, and did not speak, Li Xiaoqi stuffed the clothes wrapped in Hu cakes to Li Zonggui, and pounced on Li Zongliang's back, Li Zonggui and Li Erhuai walked in front, after Wei Shuisheng broke off, the group rushed to the east.

When the sky was full of stars, several people finally walked out of the forest, stood in the wilderness, looked back at the dark and dreary forest, and let out a long breath, along the way, except for Li Xiaoyi, who was lying on Li Zongliang's back and sleeping, the four of them were all worried about their hearts, who knows what kind of beasts are born in this forest, even if it is a wild dog, it is really ten or eight, such a night, in such a strange forest, it is also a very entangled thing!

The four of them rested for a while, took a breath, and did not dare to go to the post road, not even the larger road, but only chose the remote path, followed the guidance of the starlight, and rushed all the way to the east.

After walking for more than an hour, Li Zonggui looked back at Li Zongliang with a tired face, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, take a break, I'm too tired to stand it." ”

"Hmm." Li Zongliang agreed, turned around and called Li Xiaoyi: "Sister, wake up." ”

"I'm awake." Li Xiaoqi buried her head in Li Zongliang's shoulder socket and promised that she would wake up when she came out of the forest. Wei Shuisheng found a high post, turned around and looked around, pointed to a stream not far away, and suggested: "Let's rest there, first, there is a low-lying leeward, and second, there is water." The four of them ran to the stream and sat down in a few steps, Li Erhuai let out a long cry in his stomach, Li Xiaoqi bent his eyes and laughed, pointing to the jacket he was holding in his arms: "Brother Erhuai, the clothes are the Hu cakes I bought for you." ”

Li Erhuai was overjoyed, and he didn't care about speaking, so he hurriedly pulled his clothes to find Hu Biscuits, and Wei Shuisheng, who was washing his face with water by the stream, turned his head and said with a smile on his face: "It's still thoughtful, and I'm so hungry that I can't stand it." ”

Li Erhuai tore open the jacket, pulled off the hemp rope, pulled out a Hu Cake, and was about to bite it down, when he remembered it again, he smiled and handed the Hu Cake in his hand to Li Zongliang: "Big brother, give!" What a fragrant cake! You eat first! ”

Li Zongliang took the Hu cake with a smile, saw Li Xiaoqi waving his hand, and handed the Hu cake to Li Zonggui, Li Erhuai handed another one to Li Zongliang, Wei Shuisheng had already washed it back, shook the water in his hand, and let Li Erhuai with a smile: "You hurry up and eat, I'll take it myself." ”

"Sister?"

"Brother Erhuai, eat it yourself, I'm dying of thirst, drink some water before eating." Li Xiaoqi moved his hands and feet, walked around the stream and watched, while looking for a clean place that could be close to the stream, he replied without looking back, Li Erhuai didn't care about talking anymore, picked up a Hu cake, bit it down hard, and chewed it loudly, Li Xiaoqi squatted by the stream, holding the clear stream water full of starlight, drank more than a dozen sips in a row, and then washed his face with water, and then went back to sit next to Li Zongliang, shook off his hands, pulled a small piece of Hu Biscuit, and bit and ate it in a small bite.

"My sister is so amazing, I can't forget to bring food at any time." Li Erhuai swallowed a Hu Biscuit in two bites, took two steps forward and squatted to the edge of the stream, leaned down, put his mouth on the water surface and drank a few sips of water, came back and took another Hu Biscuit, while biting it, while vaguely praising Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi was depressed by his praise and glanced at him, and politely praised back: "Brother Erhuai is too, I can't forget to eat at any time." ”

"Well, that's true! I haven't forgotten this, I thought about having to carry a few steamed buns in the camp at noon, who ••••••knows" Li Erhuai hiccuped, straightened his neck and breathed a sigh of relief, before he continued: "I didn't eat at all." ”

Li Zongliang seemed to remember something, bit the cake, turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng, Wei Shuisheng swallowed the cake in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "It's an iron-clad arrow, it's a killing arrow, it's all right in the throat, it's an extremely ruthless one." ”

"What is this man's way? Seems to be helping us. Li Zonggui turned his head to look at Li Zongliang and said, Li Zongliang twisted his brows, thought carefully for a moment, and shook his head: "How can we know such a powerful archer?" It seems that the skills are also excellent, except for the sound of arrows, we have not heard any other movement. ”

"Well, I must be very good, I only heard a little sound, on the tree where the bowstring sounded, and then the leaves sounded a little urgently, like a person walking, the bowstring sound was surprisingly light, and I couldn't hear it if I wasn't careful, he was a master!" Li Zonggui judged, Li Xiaoqi suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart, and he hurriedly turned his head to look around, and muttered in a low voice: "Let what Brother Guizi said is strange and scary, such a powerful person is fortunately not difficult for us, if it is a person who seeks money and kills, wouldn't it be bad?!" ”

Wei Shuisheng subconsciously followed Li Xiaoqi and turned his head to look around, and laughed: "How much money does Xiaoqi have?" Can you let such a master make money and kill you? ”

Li Xiaoqi smiled, biting the cake without answering, Li Zongliang finished eating the cake, clapped his hands, and looked up at the starry sky: "It's almost around the beginning of Yin, rest for a while, and then hurry when it's dawn." ”

Several people found a place to shelter from the wind, Wei Shuisheng guarded his head, and the rest of the people crowded together, almost falling asleep, Wei Shuisheng stood up, walked back and forth, and watched the movements around him vigilantly.

As soon as the day dawned, Li Zongliang, who was guarding the last post, woke everyone up, and a few people washed a little by the stream, and continued to rush to the east while holding Hu cakes and eating. Li Xiaoqi didn't let Li Zongliang carry it anymore, and followed everyone with the cake.

This is not far from the Taiping Mansion, along the way, a few people naturally did not dare to go to a place where there were people, and only chose a deserted path to walk, Li Xiaoqi didn't walk for much time, and then he fell on Li Zongliang's back again.

After another day's journey, when it was almost dark, he rushed to a small city, Li Erhuai looked at the city wall from afar, grinned and shouted: "Let's rush this day and night, not to mention a hundred and ten miles away from the Taiping Mansion, go into the city at night to rest for the night, eat a hot meal, and sleep well!" ”
