83, the thief in the tree

Yuan Qingmou heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh", knowing that there was a bow and arrow shooting at the Dao, he didn't want to open his eyes, but he heard the screams of those Song soldiers around him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a torch thrown on the ground, still burning, and the soldiers falling from the arrows. Only the officer rolled to the ground, and then rolled several times into the bushes.

Yuan Qingmou turned his face and saw Yingzi tied to the tree, and his eyes widened because the soldiers around her were also dead. Yingzi had something in her mouth and nodded vigorously at him.

In the black whistle, there were many people running, all of them from the mountain villa, and the masked Yin Wuzi was clustered in the middle. They untied the rope from Yuan Qingmou and Yingzi. Yingzi was impulsive, ran to Yin Wuzi, hugged one of Yin Wuzi's arms, and wanted to cry, but instead of crying, he asked a sentence: "Brother, who are these people?" ”

Yin Wuzi didn't rush to answer, and whispered a few words to a young man beside him, and the man immediately ran away. Yin Wuzi looked at Yuan Qingmou and Yingzi: "Let's go back to the room first!" ”

Back in the room where Yin Wuzi lived, Yin Wuzi immediately said, "There's no time to dwell on it." Our men are following the officer who just escaped. Tian Mao, do you know who they are? It's Gu Shujie's people! ”

"Gu Shujie?"

"Yes, that's them! once controlled you, made you pretend to be Xu Zhong, and assassinated King Xu. After the failure of this plan, Gu Shujie was still active in Xu State. His true identity is actually a spy of Wu Guo. At one point, they tried to control me. Seeing that I don't listen, they want to assassinate me. Tian Mao, I want to ask you for one thing, help me and settle them, okay? ”

Yuan Qingmou didn't answer immediately, thinking to himself. What tricks is Yin Wuzi playing?

But Yuan Qingmou still spoke: "Of course you can." Can ......"

"I know that you are worried about Zihe. I've split into three groups to find Purple Lotus. The first person to go to Xucheng to see if he returned home. The second way is to Suicheng. Let's see if Purple Lotus is the most familiar place she grew up in. The third way is to go to the east of the mountain, because Zihe wants to escape, he must be in a panic, where to go in the middle of nowhere. Don't worry, I'll do my best. And the process of your tracking will also help to find the purple lotus. ”

"Okay!" Yuan Qingmou can only do this. He clenched his fists: "If you can find Zihe, please notify me as soon as possible." ”

Yin Wuzi said: "This is certain. But you can't get out of the way like this, and you still need to change your clothes. Because of Gu Shujie and his gang. Familiar with your image. Yingzi, dress up Tian Daxia! ”

Only then did Yuan Qingmou understand that the people in the villa changed to call him Tian Daxia, which started with Yin Wuzi.

Yin Wuzi went outside, so Yingzi took out the makeup box and dressed up Yuan Qingmou. Yingzi was very close to him, and a pair of hands moved softly on his face, and bursts of fragrance rushed straight to Yuan Qingmou's nose. Yuan Qingmou smelled it clearly. It was this aroma that burrowed into his bed in the middle of the night. The aroma has a flattering power. Yingzi walked with him all the way. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to guard against.

Dressed up, Yuan Qingmou became a strong man with a black face, with a beard, and he looked mighty. Yingzi was stunned, and then sneered: "Let's go!" ”

Yuan Qingmou and Yingzi came outside, and there were already five sturdy men standing outside. They were all leading their horses, and the swords and other short guys on their horses were all wrapped in cloth, and one of them was a strong man holding a wind lantern. They mounted their horses and said goodbye to Yin Wuzi.

The strong man with the lantern rode at the front, leading them. Follow the trail. Wu Qingmou thought to himself, what kind of calculation is this Yin Wuzi? The scene of being kidnapped just now was obviously manipulated by him, and then he played this trick again! Perhaps, he wants to borrow my hand to completely eradicate Gu Shujie and his gang?

Yingzi walked side by side with him, stealing Yuan Qingmou from time to time. Yuan Qingmou pretended not to know.

The sky was faintly bright, and the man leading the way extinguished the wind lantern. Out of the trail, I came to a fairly wide dirt road. A horse in front of him quickly ran over, and the man on the horse reported to Yingzi: "The guy who escaped has arrived at Shalipu." Probably too tired, went into an inn in the town to rest, and our people were watching outside. ”

Yingzi turned his head and looked at Yuan Qingmou inquiringly. Yuan Qingmou said: "I know the town of Shali. The town is not big, if we go in now, the goal is too big, let's rest in the woods! Let the watchman keep an eye on him, and don't lose it. ”

"Yes!"

The man who came to report immediately rode back. Yuan Qingmou and everyone dismounted. The horses are all covered with leather, and it seems that everything is very well prepared. Yuan Qingmou sat under a tree with his skin on his back. I barely slept all night and was very tired. But in his ears, he heard a very small sound, coming from the tree next to him.

There's someone in that tree!

Yuan Qingmou remained silent and closed his eyes. Yingzi came over, probably because there were several pairs of eyes around, and he didn't dare to get too close to Yuan Qingmou, so he only took a nap under the tree next to him. Yuan Qingmou's attention was completely attracted by the tree. He listened carefully, and he heard that there was only one person in the tree, and it was a child. He listened in other directions, but heard nothing. In other words, there is only one outsider around.

Yuan Qingmou heard the voice again, still coming from the tree next to him. It's a thing, sliding down from the trees. It's not big, it's small, it must be a rope! The rope descended gently down the trunk of the tree, and since the tip of the rope could have a hook or something like that, it would inevitably rub against the dense foliage, so it descended very carefully, and had to stop when it hit an obstacle and then quietly pass through it and continue the descent.

Yuan Qingmou opened his eyes slightly and saw that Yingzi had a backpack on his back, and that backpack must contain something to eat. Perhaps, the child in the tree is hungry and wants to steal the food from Yingzi's back?

Yuan Qingmou's eyes continued to open slightly, and he saw that the drooping thing had really reached Yingzi's backpack. It was indeed a rope, very thin, and the tip was a hook. The hook was attached to the hemp rope of the rucksack. This rucksack has an upper lid that is tied with hemp rope. Untie the twine, and you can lift the front cover and take things out of it. The hook was magical, and it quickly untied the hemp rope from the front cover. Yuan Qingmou sneered in his heart and didn't want to care about it. That kid must be hungry and crazy, so he made this decision, steal it!

Unexpectedly, the lid of the rucksack was just lifted. Yingzi suddenly backhanded, grabbed the hook of the rope, and then pulled it down hard. I heard a loud bang, and a child's cry came from the tree: "Ah! Yuan Qingmou jumped up. He could see clearly that since Yingzi had taken a surprise attack, the child's hand might have grasped the rope too tightly. He dragged the child down from the tree.

Yuan Qingmou jumped under the tree and caught the child just as he was about to land.

Several sturdy men all gathered around and shouted, "What's the matter? ”

Yuan Qingmou said: "It doesn't matter. ”

Yingzi scolded angrily: "This little thief dares to steal my things!" “

Yuan Qingmou put the child on the ground, and the child was half-sitting, looking at everyone with a pair of eyes in horror.

It was a boy, twelve or thirteen years old, and his clothes were ragged. His hair was unkempt, his face was black on the left and green on the right, and there were many wounds. Looking closely at the leg, the half of the right leg was stained red with blood, and it seemed that it was seriously injured.

Yingzi asked angrily, "Why did you steal my things?" ”

The child was frightened and did not dare to answer.

Yuan Qingmou said: "Whoever has food and water, bring some." ”

Everyone looked at Yingzi. Yingzi was a little angry: "Listen to Tian Daxia." ”

A man brought steamed buns and a leather bag of water. The child was a little surprised. Don't dare to pick it up. Yuan Qingmou said gently: "You eat, we are not bad people." The child hesitantly took the steamed bun and water, looked at everyone again, saw no malice, and immediately began to eat. He eats so fast, so embarrassed. It's a gobble.

Yuan Qingmou asked everyone to sit around and look at the children. The child was full, burped for a long time, and suddenly bent down deeply, which was regarded as a bow: "Xie Lu Xie Uncle and aunt." Thank you! ”

Yuan Qingmou helped him up hard: "You don't have to thank you. Your leg is broken, right? ”

"Yes."

"I'll help you heal, okay?"

The child was a little puzzled: "Can it be cured?" ”

"As long as you trust us, you can be cured. What's your name and where do you live? ”

The child hesitated for a moment and sighed softly: "You are not bad people, and you saved me, so I'll tell you the truth!" I don't know my name, everyone calls me Sand Rabbit. ”

"Ah, you're the sand rabbit?"

The child was confused and said, "Yes! Do you know me? ”

Yuan Qingmou said: "Aren't you a famous thief? ”

The surrounding men, along with Yingzi, were all surprised, obviously they didn't know the name of the sand rabbit.

The child muttered, obviously frustrated, "I didn't expect you to know what I was called." Okay, I don't want to hide it, I do steal. But this time, I lost my hand. ”

"Where?"

The sand rabbit pointed to the woods to the east: "It's over there, thirty miles from here." I went to steal and they found out and broke my leg. I managed to get here. When I heard you riding a horse, I climbed up the tree with my arms and left leg. He bent down again: "Uncles and aunts, please let me go this time, I will never steal again." ”

Yuan Qingmou smiled: "Don't lie to us." You have a gang, and all the people in the gang are thieves, and you can climb cliffs with your bare hands, and you can shrink your bones, and ordinary people can't stop you. You are so skilled that you can steal a lot of money when you go to the kings of all countries, so why do you want to go to that remote place on the east side of the woods? ”

The sand rabbit is out of words.

Yuan Qingmou said: "Don't say it!" Who has red medicine? ”

A man brought red medicine. Yuan Qingmou tore his pants open, and saw that the wound was red and swollen, and the bruise was ulcerating, so he gave him red medicine and bandaged it with a cloth. Then he said to a man, "Carry him on horseback, take him to the town, and arrange for him to stay in a hotel." Find another doctor and treat him. ”

"It's good." When the man stepped forward, he was going to hug the sand rabbit. The sand rabbit suddenly cried: "Don't, don't!" He howled and cried, and bent forward vigorously: "Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie!" He straightened up and said, "I know that you are good people, and I don't want to lie to you anymore." I went to the villa not to steal, but to be asked to check it out. They belonged to the state of Wu and built a mountain villa there. Their leader's name is Gu Shujie. ”

"Huh?" And all the people of the land were terrified. (To be continued......)
