said that he was riding a horse slowly, but Shen Mu was worried that Lu Laosan was in a situation, and as soon as he got on the avenue, he raised his horsewhip and flew away.

When he arrived at the cottage, Shen Mu was worried that something would change in the village, so he bolted the horse to the woods, lowered his body, and slowly approached the village.

A bend of remnants of blood hung high, and the starlight barely saw the road. Shen Mu groped his way forward and arrived at the gate of the village, but when he saw the gate of the cottage, the wooden fence had already been burned to soot, there was no fire in the cottage, there was silence, it seemed that Lu Laosan had not returned here at all.

Shen Mu stepped into the cottage, looking not far in the dark, and he was afraid that there would be enemies lurking, so he didn't dare to raise his voice to call, and he didn't even dare to light the torch. Shen Mu remembered that there were many holes dug in the village, but he couldn't be cocooned and self-bound, so he fell into it. So my eyes widened and I explored carefully.

There was no one outside the village, Shen Mu remembered that the person was placed in the firewood room, so he went straight to the firewood room to grope, the firewood room was even darker, Shen Mu called softly, no one answered, thinking that since there was no one in the village, Lu Laosan designated that it was okay, or there was a delay on the road, or he happened to miss it when he came. Shen Mu saw that the village was safe, so he stood up straight, beat his back, and turned around to leave the room.

Suddenly, Shen Mu was mixed with something under his feet, stumbled and fell to the ground. He struck a stone that came out of the ground, and when he landed, his eyes were full of stars. Stretched out his hand to wipe it, but felt that his hand was sticky, and he wanted to touch a ball of paste, but he had some hard lumps that pierced his hand, and then he touched it further, and it seemed to be a ball of hair, messy, and the hair grew in a round ball and was also a hard object. Shen Mu frowned, why did this thing feel so familiar, it seemed to ......

Shen Mu exclaimed, and jumped up from the ground, he never knew that he had such a good waist strength, and he actually jumped straight away a few steps with a carp.

What kind of hairball is this, it's clearly a human head. As for the slimy thing in his hands, it is the brains that flowed out......

Shen Mu hurriedly took out the fire fold and blew it a few times, but because he was afraid that his hands were shaking, he didn't blow it. Shen Mu raised his voice and shouted: "If you don't light the fire, I will throw you in the bucket, and you will never be on fire." Although these words are scolding the fire breaker, they are actually cheering for themselves.

It's strange to say that after the fire fold was scolded, it blew like this, and with a bang, a flame ignited.

In the darkness, just a little firelight, like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day, bright and dazzling. Under the firelight, the things in the firewood room came into view.

In the room, there were more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally and vertically, and the corpses were lying on the side of the firewood, so as soon as Shen Mu entered the door, he did not trip over the corpses. The corpses died in a variety of ways, some with their heads open and their brains overflowing, some with a large hole in their chests and their hearts and lungs overflowing, and some with severed hands and feet and blood staining the red soil......

The cottage was full of burnt smell, covering up the smell of blood in the house, at this time, seeing this situation, Shen Mu suddenly felt nauseous, and couldn't help but lean against the wall and vomit for a while. When I tried to breathe again, I felt a foul smell and had to cover my nose.

Looking at the service of these dead people, they are all in black clothes and black pants, with red scarves tied on their arms, and they are the mountain people who are grinding on the top. Shen Mu was afraid that Lu Laosan had already died, so he hurriedly looked through it, but he didn't see Lu Laosan and the man with broken legs among these dead people. Suddenly, my fingers hurt, and it turned out that the fire fold was about to burn out. Shen Mu hurriedly took a ball of hay, lit the haystack first, and then found a piece of wood, made a torch, and held it in his hand.

Shen Mu was at a loss for a while, these things in front of him were too weird, looking at this kind of situation, I was afraid that the people who were grinding the top of the earth had returned here, but why did they disappear again, but instead left the bodies of more than a dozen brothers, what happened here? What is going on? Why did these dozen or so people die here? Where did Lu Laosan go?

Thinking that Lu Laosan might suffer, Shen Mu held a torch in his hand and hurriedly ran out of the firewood room and searched everywhere in the village.

Except for the dozen or so dead bodies in the firewood room, there was no one in the cottage, and even the horses in the pit were gone. The courtyard was stained with blood, and I don't know if it was left by a mess last night, or if it was left by this strange incident.

Shen Mu didn't dare to stay, took the horses, went down the mountain along the mountain road, walked halfway, and suddenly turned back. He thought to himself that if Lu Laosan was trapped by the people who were grinding the top, he would definitely fight to the death, if he could survive, he would never take this avenue, he should go down the mountain from the back mountain path.

The road was even more difficult when it was dark, Shen Mu brought two more torches for safety, and then went around the mountain path, but he never found any trace of Lu Laosan, so he had to go down the mountain in a state of despair.

When he was about to arrive at Dingzhou City, Ma Linzi quickly galloped past his side with a whip.

Ma Linzi's horse rushed through like an arrow, and when he saw Shen Mu, the horse had already passed by. Ma Linzi is superb in riding, suddenly

Rising from the saddle, kicking the stirrups with both feet, and holding the reins with his left hand, the horse was swept up by Ma Linzi, and a pair of front legs flew up, and he neighed up to the sky, and stopped the fast horse in a hurry.

Ma Linzi said: "Mr. Shen, Lu Laosan is back." ”

In the courtyard of the house, in the west wing room, Lu Laosan fidgeted and paced back and forth in the room. Duan Chao sat upright on the chair of the Grand Master in the main hall, his fingers tapping on the tabletop.

Ma Linzi was in the advanced room, Duan Chao saw it, and said busily: "How is it." Brother Shen is back. ”

Before Ma Linzi could speak, he saw Shen Mu stepping into the room.

Duan Chao stood up and said happily, "Brother Shen." It's okay if you're okay, I'm in a hurry. ”

Shen Mu said: "Big boss, I'm fine, I'm worried." ”

Lu Laosan rushed over, grabbed Shen Mu's arms, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "If it is because of us, we will harm the military advisor, and we will be ...... in this life Strategist, it's okay to see you...... We...... Let's ......" He was in a hurry, choked up, and couldn't go on when he said this.

Shen Mu glanced at Lu Laosan, saw that there were no scars on his body, and the hanging heart finally fell, and when he saw Lu Laosan's eyes were teary and his nose was sore, he almost cried. Although he has known this group for a short time, these days, he has been displaced all the way and supported each other. They have long been close friends. Shen Mu didn't have so many friends originally, and he rarely put his heart into making friends. After all, adversity sees the truth, and these people have become their friends and brothers.

Shen Muqiang held back his tears and snorted coldly: "You... You're a cow, you came back before me. ”

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Duan Chao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay." It's all fine when they come back. Look at your bears, what do you think? ”

Lu Laosan wiped his snot and said, "Big boss." This one... This... Cough... We can't speak... But we know that our life will be Wulong Mountain in the future. ”

Duan Chao said: "What are you talking about, is it possible that you still have two minds before." ”

Lu Laosan scratched his head and said, "Let... Let's just talk, we can't speak......"

Shen Mu said: "Third Brother Lu." Where the hell have you been for the past half day?"

Lu Laosan scratched his head and said, "We can't say clearly for a while." It felt like a dream. Lu Laosan paused for a moment and continued: "At that time, we just wanted to bring back that man as soon as possible, and when we arrived at the cottage, there was nothing to do." But as soon as we entered the firewood room and were about to carry the man on our backs, a group of people came outside. Let's look out of the window and see that it was the person who grinded the top, and found it again. They searched in the cottage, but no one was found, and they cursed for a while. A group of men began to bring up the horses trapped in the pit again. Finally. They lit a fire again and were ready to burn down our house. Let's take a look, this is okay, as soon as the house burns down, how will I come back to live in the future, and immediately shouted "Stop!" Shen Mu heard this. He scolded in his heart, "Others didn't find you, you sent it to the door yourself, who told you that we have to go back to live." ”

But I heard Lu Laosan continue: "When that group heard our shout, they all gathered around, and I talked about it, there are thirty-one people. We see that they are menacing, and we are not afraid of them. Pick up the stick next to you and them. Speaking of which, we didn't coax, after knocking over four or five people, suddenly someone threw a rope and trapped us. There were a lot of them, but we didn't expect them to use yin tricks, so they set us up and tied us to the beams and pillars. One of them drew a dagger and asked, "Tell me where the others are hiding." "We are also men, and we can still be afraid of them, so I immediately took a sip and said, "Master will plant it in your hands today." If you want to kill or chop, you can give it a good time." The man smiled, his voice was very ugly, and he said, "Yo, I didn't expect you to be quite hard-mouthed, and if you fall into the hands of our brother, it will naturally make you happy." Later, I will use this knife to cut off your flesh piece by piece, and cut a thousand knives, not afraid that you will not say anything. As he spoke, he panicked with his dagger and asked me, "Where do you think this first knife should start?" ””

When Duan Chao heard this, he shouted, "You're really a good guy." ”

Lu Laosan smiled shyly, as if this sentence was the best praise. Lu Laosan continued: "To be honest, the man lifted the dagger and put it on our face, and we suddenly felt that the dagger was cold and cold, and we were still a little afraid...... The man asked us again about the whereabouts of our brothers, and we closed our eyes and said nothing. When the man saw it, he punched us in the stomach a few times, and said, "Do you know who I am?" We knew who he was, so he said, "I don't care who you are, it's the king of heaven who comes to ask, let's not say" The man snorted and said, "I am Chu Xiong, the big boss of the grinding top." You have used trickery to deceive me of my money, and if you do not return it obediently, I will surely hunt you down to the ends of the earth. Let's say, "Just your little ability, let's forget it." When the man heard this, he beat me again, and we vomited a lot of sour water. Chu Xiong punched a few times, and then said, "Tell me quickly, where are you all hiding? What are you doing when you come back?" Merry and merry. As for us coming back here, it doesn't hurt to tell you. We left a brother behind, so we came back and took him away. Chu Xiong glanced at the brother with a broken leg in the haystack, and laughed, "Sure enough, it is a group of waste, and there is a waste with a broken leg left." Say, where the hell are they. Otherwise, I'll kill you first. Kill your brother again. "We said it earlier, and we won't say it no matter how he asks. Chu Xiong asked a few times, lifted the dagger, and plucked it out of our eyes. As soon as we closed our eyes, we just wanted to teach him to die quickly, but suddenly he fainted with numbness in his back. When I woke up, I found that the group had suddenly disappeared, but there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground. We don't know what happened, we just think it was a fairy rescue. Anyway, they went too, so I came back with the man. I don't want to miss it on the road and Mr. Shen. Damn, shit!"

Shen Mu said: "Didn't you see who saved you?"
