Chapter 10: Ambush Warfare
Not good!
Immediately, everyone's hearts hung in the air, and the old pedant immediately shouted to pull the rope.
But the strong man quickly stood up, wiped a handful of water from his face, and scolded a fart, Lao Tzu easily grabbed one.
Everyone stopped pulling the ropes, and the strong man dived and drilled into the lost corpse again.
However, as soon as the strong man dived this time, he didn't float up again for a long time, but the rope on the shore kept pulling towards the water.
"Pull the rope quickly." As soon as I saw that something was wrong, I immediately shouted.
As soon as I finished shouting, the people around the old pedant shouted again: "Oh no, why are those two guys gone?" ā
I took a look at the river in shock, and sure enough, the river surface where the corpses were rampant just now, it was strange that it was quiet at this time, and the corpses were sinking little by little, and the river was very calm.
"Pull the rope, pull the rope quickly." The old pedant also became nervous and roared angrily.
I didn't hesitate to run up and help pull the rope.
Three strong men pulled a rope, but they could only barely stalemate with each other, and I felt that there must be at least one whale strength below.
And we were only in a stalemate for less than half a minute, and then we couldn't hold on any longer, and we were dragged into the river little by little.
The old pedant shouted to Du Te Niang to help.
Soon quite a few people came up to help, and a dozen people pulled a rope.
The big guy worked hard, but I suddenly felt the rope loosen, and we all fell to the ground hard due to inertia.
At the other end of the rope, a bloody arm was floating on the water, and the hideous wound was shocking.
The other two ropes were also pulled out, and at the end of one of the ropes, only Bai Sensen's bones remained, and only a few pieces of skin and flesh were still hanging on his arms.
The crowd was in a mess, shouting that there was a haunter.
The old pedant scolded Lao Tzu to be quiet, this little thing scared you like this? It's a shame for the ancestors of Jiuli.
As he spoke, the old scholar took off the gong hanging around his neck, and struck the bell a few times, and suddenly the calm river was no longer calm, and the waves were churning.
The old pedant kept knocking, the tide kept churning, and the people on the shore looked at the old pedant with burning eyes, not understanding what the old pedant was doing.
It wasn't until a corpse slowly emerged from the water that the old scholar finally said coldly: "Fight with Jiuli, you are still tender." ā
The corpses that dived down were all swept out by the waves and washed away with the current.
The river was calm again.
The eyes of the old pedant were full of admiration.
The old pedant waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, it's just a small accident, let's go to work." ā
And the three people who died, the old pedant didn't care.
The villagers who came with the strong man couldn't stand it anymore, so they hurriedly ran up and tried to stop the old scholar: "Old man, those three fellows, all old and young, you settle the money, and I will bring it back to his family." ā
The old pedant sneered: "Money? What money? ā
I knew at a glance that the old pedant was ready to pay his bills.
"Didn't you just say five thousand and a half per person?" The fellow said.
"I'm talking about fishing up the corpses, five and a half each, did they fish them up?"
"This ......" the fellows were embarrassed. It can be seen that none of them dare to provoke the old pedant.
They were all people on the river beach, and they knew the fate of provoking the old pedant, although they were upset for the three men, they had no choice but to prepare to retreat.
I sighed, I wanted to help, but I couldn't help myself.
I gave the old pedant a hard look, turned and prepared to leave. It's so ruthless.
But as soon as I turned around, I saw a tractor coming from a distance, and then an old acquaintance jumped out of the car.
As soon as I saw the other party, I immediately became nervous, because it was actually the guy I met in Jiuli Temple who drove away the corpse.
How did he get here? No, he must not be seen. I hurriedly walked around the side, while carefully observing the other person's every move.
The corpse chaser walked all the way to the old pedant, exchanged his head for a moment, and then pulled out a portrait.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat, that picture, could it be me? The corpse catcher has been looking for me.
Now I just hope that the old pedant will not recognize me.
But my prayers obviously didn't work, and when the old pedant saw the painting, his expression became tangled, and he shouted at me, little comrade, you wait a minute.
How could I stop and run without hesitation.
The old pedant shouted loudly behind him: "Go and catch that kid, whoever catches it will be a great credit." ā
Hearing the old scholar say this, the people of Jiuli instantly became excited, and the tide surged up.
I'm cĒo.
Seeing the crowd surging towards me, I panicked and my legs trembled.
If it falls into the hands of Jiuli, it's hard for me to think about how I died. I didn't hesitate to turn around and run.
But as I ran, I hesitated. If I go to Tang Yiyi now, only the two of us will be exposed. Tang Yiyi specified that he couldn't outrun these big men.
So I simply ran in the other direction.
When I was chatting with the old man just now, I knew that there were swamps everywhere in the reeds over here, so few people would pass over there.
But I didn't care so much about it at this time, so I didn't hesitate to dive in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I stepped on a snake nest, and suddenly a finger-thick water snake jumped up and wrapped my legs. I lifted the seven inches and slapped it, and the snake was immediately half dead.
I threw it behind me and kept running.
Of course, I didn't run blindly, judging the location of the blisters based on the experience my grandfather told me, and I turned my head to look.
The guys were running like whirlwind legs, and the nearest one was less than ten meters away from me. He scolded me while running.
It's not the way to go on like this, and sooner or later you'll be caught. I can't help it, I can only fight it once. I found a blister and immediately crouched down, letting the reeds block me, while sneaking into another position.
After the five big and three thick guys ran up, none of them noticed, and fell into the blister with a pop.
I didn't hesitate to keep soaking.
The blister has another name, called the death pit, and if you fall down, you will be entangled by the water plants under the blister, if no one helps, it is difficult for a person to struggle out, and the result is only to be entangled alive in it.
I think those guys who came with me should be able to save this man. But what I didn't expect was that the guys who were chasing after them turned a blind eye to the guy who dropped the blister and continued to chase forward.
My heart was half cold, the world was cold, and in order to remember a great achievement, I watched a human life fall.
What kind of people is this?
And the thought that the strong man was killed by me made me feel uncomfortable.
But if it's uncomfortable, you have to run, or I'll be the one who dies.
The guys in the back didn't seem to know how to distinguish blisters at all, so they ran and ran, and from time to time someone would fall into the blisters, screaming one after another.
I was in a hurry, I felt very uncomfortable, and I shouted at them after running for a while, don't you chase, didn't you see someone fall into a blister? Go and help.
But those Jiuli people were red-eyed, and they didn't pay attention to me at all, just scolded and chased forward.
Hastily, hastily, who is this, in desperation, I can only continue to move forward.
The further you go, the more blisters there are. I escaped as a matter of course. The guys who chased after them didn't dare to continue running forward after all, after all, they had seen the power of the blisters.
I was suddenly grateful to my grandfather for teaching me how to identify blisters.
I wonder if my grandfather had anticipated the future, so he invisibly used storytelling to pass on some skills to me? The most valuable asset of a person who walks the river is that rich experience.
The group retreated, and I felt my legs tingle and sat down to rest.
But I faintly heard a cry for help not far ahead. I frowned.
Judging by the voice, it was less than ten meters away from me. But the Jiuli people have already left, and it is impossible to hear the cry for help. If I don't save them, the other party will definitely die here.
So I hesitated for a moment, but finally I followed the reeds.
It was a girl, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and her body was completely sunk down, with only her head still exposed.
She looked quite delicate, and when she found me, she immediately looked at me with pitiful eyes: "Help me, save me." ā
I grabbed the girl's hand almost without thinking: "You're so small, why do you have to catch me so desperately with them." ā
Hearing me say this, she immediately let go of my hand: "You...... You're the one we're going to arrest. ā
I was speechless, feeling that this girl still thinks I am from their Jiuli.
Looking at her stubborn expression, I smiled bitterly: "You don't want me to save you." ā
The girl suddenly grabbed my leg in anger and shouted, "Come on, I have caught, I have caught." ā
"You're crazy." I covered the girl's mouth: "Believe it or not, I'll kill you now?" ā
"The people of Jiuli would rather die than give in." She said angrily: "You killed me, I am from Jiuli." ā
"What a stupid thing." I scolded angrily: "What's so good about that old thing, as for you working so hard? Grass, something. ā
The girl gritted her teeth and said, "You are not allowed to scold us high priests, you foreigners, all of them are mongrels and invaders, and you will be punished sooner or later." ā
It's a day, you've been brainwashed. I tore off a piece of cloth and gagged her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will save you once, and next time I will meet you, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people." ā
With that, I rescued her.
She struggled and didn't want me to save her, so I had to knock her out with one punch.
I noticed that her hands had been clasping her chest, as if to protect something.
I hesitated, but reached out and dug into her breast.
The girl is not very old, but her body is quite competitive, and I am red and red when I touch it.
