Volume 1 The Boy's Journey Chapter 13 May this thief be punished
It turned out that the leader of the horse bandits had long expected that Su Changqing and Mu Qingying would not be able to run far at all, and they definitely didn't know where to hide.
So he turned back again, and with his breath, he had already locked on Su Mu and the others.
The leader of the horse bandits slowly walked out of the darkness, the long knife in his hand emitting a cold glow in the moonlight, and there was still a little blood on it that had not been wiped dry.
"You have a golden soup spoon in your mouth, you should sit back and relax, then your father, you have to be an upright person, offended someone who shouldn't be offended, isn't it good to live with your tail between your legs, you deserve it, hehe. The leader of the horse bandits sneered at Mu Qingying, and the knife in his hand rose, Su Changqing resolutely stood up and blocked in front of Mu Qingying.
Seeing this, the leader of the horse bandits frowned, turned his head and asked the subordinates next to him, "That little ghost, didn't the information you received say that this surnamed Mu is a daughter?"
"Third master, my subordinates don't know, but the blood mosquitoes released by my subordinates were driven away by that kid, so most of the Mu family and his party were not poisoned, and some medicinal materials were found there. The horse bandit next to him whispered.
"Whatever, kill him with one knife" The leader of the horse bandits who was called the third master didn't want to think about it, and it was the easiest thing to do with a knife.
"Third master, it's useless for this kid to stay, anyway, even if the task of killing the surname Mu is completed, this little girl has a lovely face, it's better to... A horse bandit stepped forward and stared at Su Changqing and Mu Qingying, and leaned his head to the third master, although he was masked, he still couldn't cover the obscene atmosphere, his eyes turned, and he paused, "Sell it to Qinglou to make a small profit." ”
The third master laughed evilly when he heard this, as if he had seen Mu Qingying's white flowers, "It's okay, since your father is desperate to let you live, the third master I will let you live, this tender body can be sold for a lot of money, and it will definitely be a stunner when you grow up." ”
Mu Qingying had already heard the words of those horse bandits, and she trembled with anger, when had she heard these foul words since she was a child.
But there is still nothing to be done, he and Su Changqing have no power to bind the chicken, just like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Su Changqing knew that there was no way to escape, so he grabbed Mu Qingying's hand and asked her in a low voice, "Are you afraid of death?"
"I used to be afraid, but now I'm not afraid. Mu Qingying knew what Su Changqing was going to do, and looked at Su Changqing with tearful eyes and smiled.
The steep slope behind is very deep, the bottom is a small river, if you land well, you may survive, although the chance is slim, it is not an insurance method to survive, but it is the only way at present, people are in a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, will try!
Su Changqing grabbed Mu Qingying and jumped backwards, the horse bandit leader's eyes were open like walnuts, his whole body was full of momentum, and he stepped forward to leave the two of them, but Su Changqing and Mu Qingying had already turned into two white shadows and fell into the bottom of the slope.
"Two little bastards!" The leader of the horse bandits was furious, and slashed the mountain rocks under his feet with a knife, and the rubble rolled, smashing into the low Su Mu and the others.
"What should the third master do now?" A few horse bandits behind stepped forward, not daring to be loud, but only daring to ask in a low voice.
"What should I do!? chase Lao Tzu! I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!" The leader of the horse bandits trembled angrily, and roared, he has been a horse bandit for several years, and he has never killed anyone, when did he spend all this effort to chase two little dolls!
Here a little ghost escaped from his hands three times and twice, which made him very angry.
When everyone heard this, they were at a loss, standing in place, there was no way to jump from here, they were just ordinary people, unlike the third master, who had cultivated some skills, if they jumped this time, they would be crippled if they didn't die.
"Let's go! Find it from another way! The woman will catch me, and the man will stab me to death!" said the third master viciously, a horse whistle, summoned a horse, and galloped away.
Su Changqing and Mu Qingying jumped down from above, hitting the sky dark along the way, feeling that all the internal organs had moved away, Su Changqing had already fainted when he hit the stone, and his young body rolled down unconsciously, even if he didn't realize that his hands were holding Mu Qingying, Mu Qingying's right hand was desperately grasping the ground, trying to touch some life-saving straw, but it backfired, nothing was caught, but his hand had already ground out blood, mixed with dirt, and one of his nails was scraped off.
I don't know how many openings came out of the two of them, they were extremely embarrassed, Mu Qingying glanced ahead with all her strength, a small stone stood in front of the two, the two of them couldn't adjust their position at all, and hit it hard, caused by inertia, they were bounced high by the stone, and Mu Qingying also lost consciousness all of a sudden.
I don't know how long it has been.
Su Changqing woke up faintly.
The pain in his body was not stopped, and it hurt to move his limbs and internal organs, Su Changqing could feel that his body was not optimistic, and slowly opened his eyes and was in a wooden house, covered with coarse cloth, surrounded by dim and dim, not a big room, with farm tools hanging on the wall, a simple table in the distance, a stove, and a few water tanks, which should be in a farmer's house.
"Where is this?" Su Changqing covered his head and slowly climbed out of bed, now it was covered with gauze, in Su Changqing's eyes, this method of wrapping gauze was extremely simple, but now it effectively stopped his bleeding.
"Qingying?" Su Changqing didn't know where he was, he was unconscious for an unknown amount of time, and he didn't know whether he fell into the river and was picked up by the farmer, or if he was caught by horse bandits when he was unconscious.
Carefully called out to Mu Qingying, and moved his body with difficulty.
"It shouldn't be where the horse bandits are, if I was caught by the horse bandits, I would have been killed with a knife, and it is impossible to heal me and let me lie there well. Su Changqing muttered, and his heart hanging in his throat was a little more steady.
"Squeak" The dilapidated wooden door slowly opened, a little dust was raised, and a beam of sunlight shone in, Su Changqing hurriedly picked up the hoe beside him and hid next to the wooden cabinet. Slightly sticking out his head and looking at the door.
A little girl walked out of the sunshine, holding a wooden basin, it was Mu Qingying of the Mu family, and now she had already changed out of the silk satin she was wearing at the beginning, and changed into the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary family members, her hair was tied up with a coarse cloth, and there were some bruises on her face.
"Qingying?" Su Changqing saw that the person who came in was Mu Qingying and ran out happily.
"Changqing, you're awake!" Mu Qingying immediately put down the basin in her hand, and her little face, which was sad at first, finally had a happy smile.
"Do you have anything Qingying?" Su Changqing ran over, grabbed Mu Qingying's hands, and hurriedly investigated carefully.
Mu Qingying looked at Su Changqing with a smile, a trace of sunshine sprinkled on Mu Qingying's pretty face, her eyebrows were picturesque, Mu Qingying changed into coarse clothes, she didn't have the stunning and gorgeous she had at the beginning, but it was a little more simple.
Su Changqing looked at Su Changqing's blushing face, Mu Qingying looked at Su Changqing's hand, Su Changqing quickly reacted, and let go of his hand embarrassedly and didn't know where to put it. I had to scratch my head to hide my embarrassment and shyness.
Seeing this, Mu Qingying pursed her lips and smiled, and Su Changqing's face turned even redder. Red hot.
"No wonder my grandfather didn't let me take in the woman, saying that it was poisonous, but I didn't expect it to be right, just a few glances, I felt that my face was burning to death. Su Changqing touched his face and thought secretly.
"Where are we now. Su Changqing adjusted his expression, remembering that he and Mu Qingying were still on the run.
"It's a small village, Uncle Dashan here went to the river to fish, met the two of us, you have been protecting me from above, I was not seriously injured, I woke up that day, you were very seriously injured, and I was in a coma for two days. Mu Qingying placed a towel and handed it to Su Changqing to wipe his face.
"Those horse bandits didn't chase after them, did they?" Su Changqing took the towel and wiped his face carelessly.
"Not yet, but I think they'll be coming soon, and they're not going to give up. Mu Qingying remembered what happened not long ago and turned to sorrow, with tears in her eyes.
"Don't think about it, let's continue to walk when we rest again, it's not a way to stay here, maybe it will affect the people here. Su Changqing comforted Mu Qingying, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart, where are you going? I want to go to Chang'an to find my grandfather's friend is made up, and I don't have any relatives, where do I want to take Mu Qingying? Suddenly Su Changqing remembered the letter that Master Mu was dying, and then asked, "What about the letter that your father left for you?"
"Yes, I've seen it. Mu Qingying took out the letter from her arms, the letter had been crumpled and held in Mu Qingying's hand.
"It's the evidence of the crimes of several big officials in the imperial court, and my father is ready to overthrow them, maybe they were afraid that their ugliness would be exposed, so they hired someone to kill their father. Mu Qingying lowered her head and clutched the letter in her hand tightly, she didn't know what to say, her father was poor and honest all his life, but he ended up in a dead wilderness, but those who deserved to die were at ease.
Su Changqing comforted and comforted Mu Qingying, Mu Qingying wiped her tears, and took Su Changqing to find the mountain that saved them in the first place.
The two walked into the yard, and a swarthy man was cleaning up the fish in the pot, the man was five big and three thick, his hands and feet were all calluses, and he looked like an authentic peasant man.
"Uncle Oyama!" Mu Qingying called towards Dashan, Dashan put down the work in his hand when he heard this, raised his head and saw Su Changqing Mu Qingying coming over, and smiled at the two of them, the big white teeth and the dark face were in stark contrast.
"The boy woke up, too. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Dashan, for saving us. Su Changqing walked around and walked in front of the mountain to thank him.
"Hey, you kid, your health is surprisingly good, you were covered in blood when I picked you up, I was going to bury you, I didn't expect that there was still one breath, and the two injuries were almost healed!" The swarthy mountain slapped Su Changqing on the shoulder with a palm.
Su Changqing's shoulders sank, like a piece of iron falling on his shoulder, and it hurt terribly. A farmer in Dashan, who grew up doing manual work since he was a child, has great strength, and the casual palm makes the injured Su Changqing a little unbearable.
"Oh, little brother, I'm sorry, I'm a big old man, I don't know how important it is, it's okay. Seeing this, Dashan hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"Daddy, the fish is dried. At this time, a little boy who was about the same as Su Changqing ran in, the little boy was carrying a string of dried fish in his hand, tiger head and tiger brain, like the mountain, dark skin, it should be caused by perennial sun exposure, with a wisp of snot, and ran in front of everyone.
"Hahaha, okay, come, little brother will introduce you, this is my son, Li Youshu. Hey, hey, hey. "Dashan's original name was Li Dashan, an authentic peasant man, after getting a child, he was ecstatic, knowing that his culture was not high, and the name was too vulgar, so he went to the village to find the village chief and asked for a good name, which means blessing, auspicious, and energetic in reading.
"You are a young man, with fine skin and tender meat, there is no male style at all, such a long one, is it a sick seedling, how can there be a place to make money in the future will want you, you look at how strong I am, the village chief grandfather said that boys like me are the most popular. Li Youshu ran to Su Changqing's side, turning around, touching this and that.
Su Changqing didn't know what to say, and his face was black.
Li Dashan dragged Li Youshan and patted him on the head with a smile, "You kid, can you be polite!"
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. Li Youshu touched his head and pouted.
"Su Changqing. ”
"Yes, in the future, Brother Li will take you to eat and drink spicy food. ”
Dashan's face was black and black, where did this kid learn these market hooliganism.
The four of them cleaned up and had dinner together, Li Youshu gushed in the ears of the two of them, telling about his legendary events in the village, digging hornet's nests, burning insects, stealing the village chief's chickens, anyway, nothing good.
Mu Qingying was so amused that she pursed her lips and smiled, Su Changqing looked at everyone and relaxed slightly, she hadn't felt this atmosphere for a long time, she hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
"Hey, let's go, I'm going to take you to a good place. Li Youshu wiped the oil from his mouth and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Su Changqing looked at Li Youshu blankly.
Su Changqing and Mu Qingying couldn't refuse to look at Dashan, and Dashan waved his hand to signal that they were fine.
Along the way, Li Youshu pretended to be mysterious, and didn't say where he was going, but just led the way.
The three of them walked for a long time and finally walked up a hill.
Su Changqing looked around, and there was nothing around except for half-human-tall weeds.
"What's the point of this?" Mu Qingying looked at Li Youshu in confusion.
"Hey, hey, you two stand up for Brother Li, don't move. Li Youshu's eyes rolled widely, and he turned around and ran around frantically. Su Changqing and Mu Qingying thought he was crazy, and he had nothing to do.
At this moment, countless green fluorescents slowly rose from the grass. Those smart lights float in the air, the more they are, the more they are.
It turned out to be full of fireflies.
"It's not good-looking, it's not beautiful, it's worth it!" Li Youshu buried his head and ran hard.
Su Changqing and Mu Qingying saw this kind of scenery for the first time, and they were speechless in a daze, immersed in this wonderful feeling.
Li Youshan was tired and panting, lying on the grass. Looking at the sky, "When I was unhappy before, I often came here, and I slowly forgot about those unhappy things when I watched the fireflies all over the mountains. ”
Li Youshu looks like a tiger-headed, five big and three coarse, but in fact, he is very delicate, and he has long seen that the two of them have a lot of trouble.
In this dreamy scene, the three teenagers and girls left all their unhappiness behind and enjoyed this moment of peace.
"Let's go. It was getting late, the temperature was getting cooler, and it was not suitable to stay here, so Li Youshu stood up and took the two of them home.
The three of them walked halfway up the mountain, but they saw a raging fire in the village in the distance, and the sky was filled with smoke.
"What!?" Li Youshu panicked and ran frantically towards the village.
Su Changqing knew that the horse bandits had come, and wanted to hold Li Youshu and prevent him from being sent to death.
But Li Youshu was able to be pulled by the injured Su Changqing.
"Where!" There was a commotion at the foot of the mountain. The red-eyed horse bandits found the three of them, and the third master rode over with a few horse bandits.
Su Changqing didn't have time to react, and an arrow was shot in the shoulder. One stumbled and fell to the ground.
The third master mentioned Su Changqing, "Stinky boy, let the third master make it easy for me to find." ”
"Bastard let go of me!" The third master's big hand pinched Su Changqing to death like a plier, and he couldn't break free.
"You were the ones who killed the people in the village!" Li Youshu jumped up angrily, grabbed a stone and killed it, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg.
Kicked away by a horse bandit.
"If you don't cooperate with my third master, how can you let them live. The third master sneered and threw Su Changqing down, "Kill them." After giving the order, he turned around and picked up Mu Qingying and walked away.
"Qingying!" Su Changqing was trampled under the feet of a horse bandit, and watched Mu Qingying being arrested.
"The stinky boy is dying, and he can't forget that little girl," the horse bandit who stepped on Su Changqing raised his knife and stuck it on the back of Su Changqing's hand.
Su Changqing gritted his teeth, holding the ground with his hands, but he couldn't get up, he became more and more desperate, all his important people disappeared overnight, and the people who saved his life were wiped out overnight and slaughtered overnight.
The last of them were also captured.
Anger, despair, guilt, helplessness in my heart, grievance in my chest, I want to turn into a knife to cut off the injustice in this world and cut off the injustice of this world.
I want to kill the horse bandit who stepped on my head, I want to kill the third master with a blade, I want to extinguish the raging fire, and I also want to bring the dead back to life.
But now you can only be trampled on the soles of your feet, and there is nothing you can do.
"Who's going to save me! The boy used his last strength to raise his head to the sky and howl, in the midst of this robbery, in the triumphant laughter of the horse bandits, in the midst of the crying, this last cry seemed insignificant and weak.
The white knife fell, close at hand.
Suddenly, the wind was raging all around, and the black light in Su Changqing's chest exploded, like smoke and fog, rolling Su Changqing into the air, and the black mist spun into a spear that directly pierced the horse bandit.
The thick ghost mist rose, as high as three zhang, and a big hand conjured out to hold the spear, and the other hand caught Su Changqing.
The armor on his body was lined up one by one, and the two red eyes stared at the horse bandits.
His legs turned into smoke and stood in mid-air, protecting Su Changqing, the spear shook, and the anger was dozens of miles.
"The last general is a ghost capital, and I am willing to punish this thief for my master!"
