Chapter 1 Siege of the City

Next Chapter

Linshui Village is a small village in the land of Sichuan and Shu, here on one side by the Qingshui River, on the other side by a continuous mountain, and on the other side is an endless forest, it is a good place by the mountains, the only bad place is that the mountain road is difficult to walk, resulting in the village all year round is difficult to have outsiders to come and go.

Recently, however, a strange person came to the village to stay there, whether it was clothes, hair, or even strange words. But although it was strange, it was rare for anyone to come to the village, and the villagers still welcomed him very warmly.

It was late summer and early autumn, the weather was hot, and a yellow dog was lying on the ground and sticking out its tongue under the shady eaves. head, eyes half-open and half-narrowed, looking too hot to be done. Under the shade of the trees, a group of hens with chicks are looking for bugs, and the autumn wind gusts in the distant rice fields. The waves of color rolled and rolled.

There is a big banyan tree in the middle of Linshui Village, which is not hugged by more than ten people, and this banyan tree has not known how many years it has grown, and it is said that when Linshui Village did not exist, this banyan tree has grown here.

When it's hot, the people of the village like to cool off under the trees.

Now the men, women and children in the village are sitting under the trees and looking intently at the person in front of them, just like the students in the classroom looking at the teacher, but this group of people is much more serious than the students.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that the person in front of me is not telling a boring textbook, but an interesting story.

"Today, I'm going to tell you the story of Heaven and Dragon Slayer! Martial arts supreme, sword slaying dragon, command the world, don't dare to disobey! Since this sentence has been circulating in the rivers and lakes, there have been countless bloody battles around the Dragon Slaying Knife......"

That's right, the person who tells the story of Heaven and Dragon Slayer here is a teenager who has traveled from modern times - Gu Renyun.

Gu Renyun held the teacup in one hand, and at the same time told the story of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, how the people in ancient times heard such stories, they were naturally fascinated by it.

When he heard Xie Xun roar the audience, he was amazed by Xie Xun's lion roar, when he heard that Zhang Cuishan and his wife committed suicide in Wudang Mountain, and when they heard that Zhang Wuji was majestic in the bright top, he was surprised by the invincible opponents all over the world.

Time passed minute by minute, and people became more and more addicted, it seemed that even the chicks who were looking for bugs on the side were fascinated, and stayed quietly nearby, and a domestic hound seemed to know that there was a good story to hear, so he abandoned the eaves of the house and came to the banyan tree......

"It's not good to pull! Yes...... There are a lot of rogue dynasties...... Come here and pull it! A cry of terror broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The yellow dog, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, raised his head in an instant, and stared at the direction of the village entrance without blinking.

The people listening to the story under the banyan tree also turned their heads to look at the entrance of the village, and people only felt that they seemed to have auditory hallucinations? Just now...... Seem...... Someone is shouting...... The Rogue is coming?

I saw the old hunter in the village running in from the outside.

Lao Ding usually makes a living by hunting, no better than farmers with fields, farmers are more idle in late summer and early autumn, so they naturally have time to listen to Gu Renyun's stories, but as a hunter, it is different, if he doesn't work hard now, he can only drink the northwest wind in winter, so almost the whole village is resting under the banyan tree to listen to stories, while he is hunting outside.

Not long ago, Lao Ding suddenly saw a strange scene in the mountains that he had never seen in his life - a large number of various birds and beasts ran away from the direction of the village entrance in panic, and even the fox and the rabbit, which usually met only the fox chasing the rabbit and escaping, all fled together.

He was very curious, it seemed that this situation only appeared in the royal hunt in the story.

Quietly touched the past to take a look, only to see the mountains and fields are full of ragged clothes, holding all kinds of knives, swords, harpoons, hoes and other weapons, roughly estimated at least tens of thousands of people, they searched the mountains to catch all kinds of animals, collect all kinds of edible wild vegetables, while moving towards the neighboring water village.

Just looking at the appearance of the green mountains turning into barren mountains after their army, Lao Ding imagined that after they passed by Linshui Village, the village was full of fires and corpses were everywhere, he hurriedly retreated a few steps quietly, and then ran towards the village desperately......

After he ran to the village out of breath and shouted, he had time to take a breath, but when he finished breathing, he straightened up and looked, only to see everyone looking at him stupidly.

Lao Ding was furious, and he ran back to inform them desperately, but they wasted time in such a daze.

He was just about to open his mouth to scold these fools, but the foreigner who had just come to the village to tell the story was the first to ask, "How many rogues are there, and how far is the distance?" ”

At this time, the villagers who sat in the shade of the trees and listened to the story realized that what they had just heard was not an auditory hallucination! The rogues are really here.

There was a commotion, some people got up and wanted to flee, some people screamed, and some wanted to go to the front to see for themselves. Fortunately, Lao Ding hasn't answered yet, and what he wants to escape is just a look like I'll run away after you finish speaking, and the screaming ones immediately covered their mouths by themselves or by the people next to them, and those who want to go and see for themselves want to hear what Lao Ding has to say first.

Everyone stared at Lao Ding.

It's the first time that Lao Ding has been valued by so many people, and if it was usual, he might show off proudly, but how can he be in the mood now. He hastened to tell what he had seen and heard...... He focused on the enemy's endless numbers and locust-like demeanor, and most importantly - it took him less than half a burnt of incense from the time he saw the rogue to the time he ran back to the village......

Suddenly, everyone seemed to have exploded, and there was chaos, and they wanted to go home and pack up their belongings and run home, some family members who were not here quickly ran to inform their families, and some were so frightened by the news that the three souls disappeared and immediately fell to the ground.

"A stick of incense is half an hour, and the speed of long-distance running is about twice the speed of walking, which means that if Liukou marches at the speed observed by Lao Ding, we still have about half an hour to evacuate......" Gu Renyun just thought of this, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked Lao Ding: "Lao Ding, are you sure that you were not discovered by those people when you left?" ”

Lao Ding wanted to take a break and clean up his salute, but when he heard Gu Renyun's words, he was immediately unhappy, Lao Ding was so strong in his life, and his parents also passed down a few acres of thin fields when he was young, but he didn't want to be a mediocre farmer for the rest of his life, so he sold the field and worshipped a martial arts gym in the city as a teacher. It's a pity that the master of the martial arts hall doesn't have much ability, but unfortunately he only found out when he exhausted all his money, and he had to give up his dream of being a ranger first, and became a hunter in order to survive.

"Of course I'm sure, Lao Ding, I've been dealing with the mountains near the village all my life, every grass and tree here is extremely familiar, where it's hidden and not easy to find, where the line of sight will be blocked, I know it very well, if I come back and be discovered by this kind of outsider, I ......" Lao Ding looked around, and finally pointed to the big banyan tree and said: "I will crash and die on this tree!" ”

Hearing Lao Ding say this, Gu Renyun was relieved, if the enemy found out that Lao Ding was following, then the enemy was likely to follow one after another, so what everyone should do was to run away immediately, instead of going home to pack up their salutes.

Time passed minute by minute, Gu Renyun looked at his watch, 15 minutes had passed since Lao Ding came back. What Lao Ding said was less than a stick of incense, considering the uncertainty of this time and the uncertainty of the enemy's speed, as well as the fact that it was easy to be discovered by the enemy if he didn't go far, this time could not be delayed.

However, the villagers have no such consciousness at all, the so-called broken house is worth everything, and the things in the house are all accumulated for years, decades, or even lifetimes, and they are reluctant to discard anything.

I saw that some of them were holding pots and pans, and some even wanted to carry the cabinets at home! I almost didn't want to move the house together!

Gu Renyun was in a hurry, this was running for his life, they thought it was moving! Just pack up the food you wear, how can you escape with those bulky things?

But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, no one would listen to him. If you're in a hurry, you agree to it in person, and when you turn around, you pick it up again.

Seeing that the time was slowly passing, Gu Renyun said hello ruthlessly, and walked towards the entrance of the back village without looking back.

So people are blindly obedient animals, no one was willing to move after Gu Renyun's hard work, but now he saw someone take the lead and left, and those who had cleaned up also followed, most of these people were people like Lao Ding who had no belongings, or were more sober-headed.

The departing team gradually grew larger, which naturally attracted the attention of the others, and seeing that the large army began to retreat, the rest of the people panicked and hurriedly left unnecessary things to keep up with the team.

There are only a few people who are in a hurry, but they are still reluctant to let go of the furniture that obviously cannot be transported in the short term......

It didn't take long for the group to reach the entrance of the village at the other end......

Suddenly, a loud whistle sounded.

Groups of people poured out from various hidden places like flowing water, and these people were blocked at the door of the village in a mess, and they did not approach the villagers, but they looked like they were not going to be able to get through.

The villagers were so frightened that they threw down their salutes and took out all kinds of weapons to put themselves on guard, most of them were hoes, sticks, and the like.

It wasn't until I saw that those homeless people were just blocking the door and didn't mean to rush up, that I relaxed a little.

"How did you come so quickly, and you went around to the back of the village, so many people want to go around the back of the village quietly, and it takes a lot of time!"

Seeing the villagers staring at him with suspicious eyes, Lao Ding hurriedly defended: "I was definitely not discovered by them, don't you know my hiding technique, last time I was hiding in the mountains, a tiger passed by, but I didn't find me!" ”

How the people in the village were willing to believe it, they complained:

"Hiding the tiger didn't move, and now you're running back, do you still have eyes behind you to see that others don't notice you?"

"yes, if they hadn't come with you, how could they have come so quickly, and they came around behind us!"

……

Gu Renyun pouted, these people only know how to complain about others, and they don't want to think about it, if Lao Ding doesn't come back to report the news, it won't be the same result as being blocked in the village, and if Lao Ding doesn't come back to report the news, he will fight his skills in the mountains and forests, and those people will definitely not be able to catch him.

At this moment, Gu Renyun was also interested in complaining about them, he looked around for a while, "Don't make any noise, the front door of the village hasn't been blocked yet, hurry up!" After speaking, he didn't wait for the others to reply, and ran towards the front door of the village first.

The people behind looked at each other and followed closely behind.

While running, Gu Renyun glanced back.

I saw that the rogues blocking the door were pointing here and laughing, without the slightest intention of chasing.

Gu Renyun's heart sank, this is not a good sign......

The panting crowd finally ran to the front gate of the village, but ushered in an even more desperate scene.

In the distance, the mountains were full of black oppression, and they were all the kind of rogues who were tattered but well-armed......
