115. Little thief and horse thief
At first, there were people struggling in the trap, making a burst of moaning and humming sounds, but as the smoke gradually subsided, these sounds disappeared, and the trap was silent. In the pit, the people and horses fell together, the horses and horses were stacked, and the blood was drenched and miserable.
After a long time, someone finally moved, and this person turned out to be Yuan Qingmou.
Yuan Qingmou, Yingzi and Gu Shujie are at the top of the trap. This was due to the fact that he and Yingzi were the last to run over, and Gu Shujie commanded their people to attack, which was originally behind. So, when they fall into the trap, they are, of course, on top. And the people below were all pierced by the wooden stakes buried in the trap, and some were pierced with the horses. And Yingzi, Yuan Qingmou, and Gu Shujie, the tip of the stake pierced the body of the horse they were riding, and it didn't pierce them, they fainted.
At the bottom of the trap were the Chu soldiers who were being chased by them, who were no longer human-shaped under the penetration of the wooden stake and the squeezing of the people and horses above. Yuan Qingmou's head hit a thick tree trunk, which was used to build a trap, and it was stretched across the trap to support the straw mat and dirt on it. When Yuan Qingmou fell, the thick trunk had already fallen on the head of the stake below, so Yuan Qingmou's head hit the wooden pole heavily and he fainted.
Gradually, he woke up, and suddenly he felt very clear, very clear. Although my head hurts and hurts severely, many scenes suddenly come to mind. He finally remembered what had happened to him before, and why he was here. He remembered the prisoner car, and his counterpart sat on Aunt Yan. Aunt Yan was very sad and actually gave him medicine and wanted to get along with him. He was already in a daze, but he knew that Aunt Yan's hand was touching him very eagerly. But suddenly, he felt that the carriage had flipped on its side. This is his most obscure memory, how exactly it turned on its side. He couldn't remember how it fell.
Now he clearly remembered that he had been saved by an Orion. The hunter carried him to his house, drugged him, docked his broken leg bones and arm bones, and put them on a splint. He lay there for more than a month. to be healed. Orion led him to the place where he had fallen to his death, and it turned out to be a mountain stream, very deep and steep. But he didn't find anyone else. Orion said that there was also a woman who fell with him, and that the body was later carried away. He looked closely at the mountain and saw that there seemed to be something halfway up the mountain. He climbed up and picked it up. It turned out to be a bag of silver. He gave all the money to Orion, who was flattered and thanked. In retrospect, that silver must have belonged to Aunt Yan.
He lay down and remembered more things. But he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because there was a voice above, the voice of several people. His alertness was restored. He pretended to still be unconscious, quietly listening to the voices from above.
A man was laughing: "Big brother." You're really good at it. He took revenge, and got these twenty horses for nothing. Most importantly. They must have a lot of silver and other treasures on them. Let's go down now and get back the silver and the treasures." ”
"Don't worry!" It was obviously the eldest brother who spoke, "The lowest person must be dead." I'm afraid that the people above are not dead yet. Let's shoot the arrows first, and let them die completely. Then go down and get something. ”
"Hey, hey! Big brother, you still think about it thoughtfully. ”
Yuan Qingmou thought about it, this is not good. His legs were still sandwiched between his war horse and Yingzi's war horse. If you shoot an arrow, you will die. What's more, Yingzi and Gu Shujie may not be dead yet. Just fainted. Or should Gu Shujie be kept. This great spy of the Wu State must have hidden lines in many places, and all these dark lines should be dug up.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qingmou no longer hesitated, his hand secretly probed down, and touched the man in front of Gu Shujie, although the man was dead, the things on his back were still there. He reached for the barrel and pulled out a few arrows. Hear that there are three people in total; Because the sky was still very bright, peeking at it, it was indeed three people, and the clothes they were wearing, exposing their left arms, turned out to be the famous Jianghai faction on the rivers and lakes.
This bunch of damn things! Yuan Qingmou scolded in his heart, looked at the position they were standing, and threw the arrow hard. I only heard a few pops, and all the arrows were shot. The three men fell down screaming, and were no more.
Yuan Qingmou pulled his leg out of the horse's squeeze with all his might. He climbed up the trap with some difficulty, only to see that the three people he shot had fallen to the ground and were already dead. He went over to look at their corpses and confirmed that they were the Jianghai Gang, a group of guys who plagued the common people everywhere. Maybe Gu Shujie offended them, so he went on a killing spree.
Yuan Qingmou returned to the trap. He touched Gu Shujie and Yingzi, and they were indeed not dead, they were both in a coma temporarily. He took two people out of the trap behind each other. and found all kinds of items from several of Gu Shujie's accomplices, as well as the horse that Yingzi was riding. There are large and small clay pots for cooking, flints, short knives, swords, dried meat, steamed buns, pickles, etc., as well as a lot of silver. Yuan Qingmou thought in his heart, these bandits are indeed not simple, and he knows that there will be silver on these gangs.
A search of the woods again revealed that the number of dead in the Chu army was twenty-three, and the horses they were riding had been driven to one place by the three bandits, and they were all tied to trees. There were a lot of things on the horse, there were eight animal skins, four skin water bags, some small cotton mattresses, and so on. Obviously, when these Chu soldiers were marching, they used to rest.
Yuan Qingmou felt that he could not stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly unloaded all these usable things, selected six good horses, and put the collected things on three horses. Then, he tied Gu Shujie and Yingzi to a horse each, and he himself rode a horse, a total of six horses, and marched rapidly in the direction of Xu Guo.
It was dark, and he had already run out of a hundred miles and entered the border of Xu State, far away from the scene of the murder. In front is a grove of trees, which is very thick. In particular, there is a pasture and ditch near the woods, which is very suitable for horses to eat. Yuan Qingmou stopped, tied the horses to the edge of the woods, and let them eat grass and drink. He saw that Gu Shujie and Yingzi were not awake, so he laid down the animal skins, carried them to lie down, and covered them with animal skins.
In this wasteland, there are many animals, and you must be prepared at night. He spread dry branches and grass around the three of them, and struck flint and burned. And he set up a stove in the midst of the fire that surrounded him, and boiled water in a clay pot, and made the buns hot. From time to time, he ran out of the house to get firewood, so that the fire around him would never stop. He fed both Yingzi and Gu Shujie hot water, hoping that they would wake up sooner. In this way, the three people take turns on duty, and they will not be too tired. However, the two people seemed to have discussed it, but they just didn't wake up.
Yuan Qingmou was afraid of being attacked, so next to the two people lying, a new bunk was set up, and a bundle of grass was covered under the animal skin, pretending that someone was sleeping. And when he himself had eaten his fill, he went to the side of the six horses, and lay on the ground with one skin and another on it. Six horses are an important guarantee that they can move forward and cannot be lost.
He lay down, and his headache was much lessened. Gradually, he came to his senses. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly woke up again. He told himself not to fall asleep. At this time, the chirping of small insects sounded outside. He heard a voice, a very low voice, someone walking, gently, coming this way. He lay on his stomach, staring carefully at the place where the sound sounded.
He saw a man and approached quietly. He looked around again, and there was indeed only one person. This man, first to the place where the fire was burning, lay down beside him and carefully observed, then moved lightly, came to the six horses, picked for a while, took the reins of one horse, and spoke in a low voice: "Horse, I don't want to deceive you. I was desperate. I've got to steal you. Don't turn me down, I'll be nice to you, okay? ”
Hey? It looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
The boy was just about to untie the reins, and Yuan Qingmou lost no time in flying a stone and hitting him right on the arm. He jumped and jumped to the side.
"Who, who hit me?" He whispered.
Yuan Qingmou was silent.
The little boy seemed a little surprised, and tried to look at the fire: "Those people are sleeping, who can hit me, isn't something falling from the tree?" ”
He went to untie the reins again, and Yuan Qing jumped up and pressed him. The little boy struggled hard, but he couldn't do anything at all.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" The little boy screamed like a pig, "Didn't I do it, didn't I just steal a horse from you?" What are you doing so much? You have so many horses, what else can you do if you lend me one? ”
Yuan Qingmou sneered: "Little guy, flamboyant, are you looking for a fight?" ”
Yuan Qingmou pulled him into the circle of fire where Gu Shujie and Yingzi were lying, and looked carefully through the firelight, this kid was in tatters, with a black groove on the left and a scar on the right on his face. But it's still fair-eyed, and it doesn't look like a gangster.
"Tell me the truth, what is your name, where do you come from, and what are you going to do in this wood?"
The kid put on a look that was not afraid of the sky and the earth: "Who are you who dare to ask me this question?" ”
Yuan Qingmou felt funny: "Hey! Little thing, in my hands, dare to pretend to be a big clove of garlic, you don't want to live? ”
The kid had a look of contempt on his face: "You still dare to kill grandpa?" Okay, grandpa, I'll stick my head out to you today and let you kill. As long as you can kill me, I'll recognize you as a grandfather. ”
Yuan Qingmou didn't say much, immediately took out his sword and swung it at him. The kid jumped back in fright. Yuan Qingmou followed closely and swung his sword again. The kid jumped back again, and was about to run, but Yuan Qingmou rushed over, grabbed him, and raised his sword. The boy howled, "Are you really killing? ”
"Of course it kills!"
Yuan Qingmou could not be decomposed, and the sword was cut down. (To be continued......)
