Chapter 17: Sudden Change
On an autumn afternoon, the sun shines down, reflecting the mottled shadows of the trees, and the wind caresses and makes a "rustling" sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In the silent tree, a young man walked in it, his posture was upright, his face was like a crown of jade, wasn't it the flowing clouds.
After enjoying the lunch meal with everyone, Liuyun settled Xiaoli and entered the mountain alone. Meditating day and night, exercising in the afternoon, and entering the mountains in the afternoon are his daily activities in addition to eating and sleeping.
Slow down your steps, look at the six roads, and listen to the eight directions, these are all the Liuyun of Shi Lei's church, but because of the advantages of cultivation, it is now better than the blue. Suddenly, Liuyun's left ear moved imperceptibly, and then, like an arrow off the string, it rushed towards the source of the sound.
Skillfully avoiding trees, Drift Cloud chases after the prey in front of him. Upon closer inspection, in front of him was a gray hare, fleeing in panic. But its speed was too far behind the Flowing Cloud, and it didn't take long for the Flowing Cloud to catch up.
Liuyun formed a claw with his right hand and grabbed at the back of the hare's neck. The hare seemed to feel something, and when Liuyun's hand was about to die, it kicked its hind legs and turned at a small angle, which was also the escape method it had always relied on, but today it was not so lucky.
The moment the hare turned and jumped, Liuyun's other hand quickly reached out and grabbed its neck. A silent sigh in his heart: Rest in peace, as soon as Liuyun exerted force in his hand, the sound of "click" sounded, and the hare kicked his leg a few times, and then lost his breath.
To say that at the beginning, Liuyun also learned to use traps to hunt, and then as his physical ability slowly increased, he went directly to his bare hands. He also used bows and arrows, but he wasn't as skilled as Shi Lei, and he preferred this kind of face-to-face battle to long-range shooting.
Pulling out the bark rope around his waist, tying the hare and hanging it on a leash, the clouds continued to wander through the mountains. In fact, one hare was enough, and now, he just wanted to see more of the scenery and friends, because he had decided to leave here in a few days, looking for a way to help his sister recover.
When he walked to one place, Liuyun's footsteps stopped, glanced behind him, and whispered: "Come out!"
It was too late, and a black shadow leaped out of the grass and rushed towards the clouds. Liuyun turned sideways and dodged. Take a look at it again, a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes appeared in the field, with more than one foot long, thick limbs, and a strong body. At this time, it squatted slightly, roared in its mouth, and looked ready to attack.
Seeing this, Liuyun also spread his feet left and right, and placed his hands in front of his chest in front of the back and back, making a fighting posture.
A gust of wind blew and rolled up the yellow leaves on the ground. As if given the signal, the tiger lunged forward, and then the man stood up, its sharp claws whistling towards Liuyun's head. Liuyun did not hide, but reached out and cut off its forearm, so that it could not enter an inch. Seeing that he couldn't help the humans on the other side, the tiger roared angrily, and actually exerted force directly on his hind legs, opening his sharp teeth and biting towards Liuyun. Liuyun could even smell the fishy smell in his mouth, but he wasn't interested in checking the big guy's oral hygiene, and slammed his knee into the tiger's chin. "Whew~" The tiger let out a painful sigh and stepped back.
At this time, Liuyun smiled, "What, Dahua, is this how you treat your old friends when you see them?"
When the tiger heard this, he immediately became docile as a domestic cat, and ran over and rubbed against Liuyun's feet. It turned out that it was the "friend" that Liuyun wanted to meet.
A year ago, Liuyun and Shi Lei went into the mountains to hunt together, but were unexpectedly attacked by a fierce tiger. Originally, it was not difficult to besiege it with the strength of two people, but Liuyun proposed to try it alone. Under his tough attitude, Shi Lei could only do what he wanted. Liuyun fought with the tiger with his nimble pace, and during the process, he was full of dangers, and several cuts were made on his body. For a long time, perhaps thinking that the gains outweighed the losses, the tiger finally retreated.
After that, Shi Lei also allowed Liuyun to act alone. And Liuyun went into the mountains several times, and met this tiger, and the two fought several times. Liuyun went from being at a disadvantage at the beginning, to being indistinguishable, to being slightly better, and finally overpowering the other side, one person and one tiger actually played out their feelings, so that Liuyun did not kill it when he finally defeated it, but gave it a name, called "Big Flower".
This is the area where the big flowers often move, and Liuyun came here to meet old friends.
......
The sun sets, gilding the hills with a layer of gold. Liuyun and Dahua finished talking about the old and are on the way home. It's just that his expression seems to be a little melancholy, too, he is about to leave this land that makes him feel warm, so it's strange to be happy. The thought that two more mountains would be the village made his sorrow a little heavier.
"Huh, why does it smell burnt? There seemed to be shouting in the distance. "Liuyun doesn't think it's a delusion. You must know that after he built the foundation, his senses were much sharper, and he was more aware of the changes in the environment.
Liuyun was shocked and tried his best to run towards the village.
When Liuyun arrived in the village, the burning houses, the panicked women and children, and the fighting men made him furious. This is his second home, and his home has been destroyed, how can he not be angry, how can he not be shocked. Seeing that his house was far away from the place of the accident, he was relieved and rushed up to fight the intruders.
......
Before the rewind of time, the clouds were still in the mountains, and the village was as calm as before.
On the roof, Shi Lei was knocking on the mending, he didn't go hunting this afternoon, but was repairing the house. The sudden shouting made him concentrate on his homework stunned, and he poked his head out to see that more than a dozen big men with raw faces came to the edge of the village, snoring and drinking. Seeing this, he quickly got off the roof, and after entering the house and equipping himself with a bow and arrows, he ran over to check the situation.
At the same time, the rest of the people in the village also noticed the abnormality, and they couldn't help but be a little flustered. The old village chief was well-informed, knew that something was wrong, and after appeasing everyone, he first organized the women and children to gather away from that place, and then led the young men in the village to join Shi Lei with the guys.
When the two parties met, they saw that the dozen or so big men were all bloody and vicious, either holding big knives or carrying daggers at their waists. In addition to looking a little tired, it looks like it's not easy to mess with.
The leader of the man, who is even more sturdy, has a rough face, a scar on the side of his face, and the blood stains on his face are even more hideous. Looking at him again, he was wearing a tiger fur coat with an open neckline, revealing strong muscles and thick chest hair. At this time, he shook the iron broadsword in his hand with a cold light, with a look of contempt.
"If you want to ask for some water, I can give you some and show you the way out of the mountain. Fan Lao said, looking at the visitor with some vigilance.
"Tsk, begging for water to drink? You are the one who asks for food when we stink! Do you know who this is? The boss of Xuzhou Yinhutang -- Lei Hu, known as the deadly tiger knife in the rivers and lakes. When I saw our boss, I didn't hurry up to offer the valuable things in the village to the young woman's hands. One of them shouted.
It is said that this Yinhutang is a group of ringing horses, active in Xuzhou. Due to the good martial arts of its leader, Lei Hu, they moved relatively quickly, and repeatedly relied on their geographical advantages to escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers. But they were not greedy enough, and they robbed the official silver, which stabbed the hornet's nest, and what they robbed was the silver taels for the treasury, and the Xuzhou Assassin immediately ordered to pursue it with all his might.
The good days of Yinhutang came to an end, not only were all the stolen goods confiscated, but most of the members were also dead, and Lei Hu reluctantly took the remaining subordinates to hide in the Bailing Mountain Range. And when Xuzhou saw that the silver was returned, he did not order the search for Lei Hu and them, but only issued a wanted warrant, after all, Bailing is too big and connects multiple states to be inconvenient to search. Lei Hu and the others had no way to retreat, so they could only try to cross the Bailing Mountains and reach other states in order to make a comeback. However, during the journey, they found a village, which made Lei Hu and his party overjoyed.
If this place is used as a base area, there will be no need to fear officers and soldiers in the future. Lei Hu already had the intention of snatching in his heart, but out of the strength he had left, he decided to observe it first. This brings us to the previous scene.
On the other side, everyone in the village couldn't help but be furious when they heard the arrogant words on the other side, but they didn't make a move under the suppression of Fan Lao. Fan Lao stared straight at the gang of ringing horses, and said, "If you want to rest here for a while, the old man will entertain you. But if it is an uninvited guest, it is not to blame the old man for closing the door. The anger in the flat tone was felt by everyone.
Lei Hu's subordinates wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Lei Hu, and a rough voice came out of his mouth: "Uncle, I, Lei Hu, want to borrow your land, can I?" Although the words were beautiful, the cold glint in his eyes revealed a strong threat.
"Do you really want to spare me and other poor people in the mountains? Fan Lao didn't want to clash with them, but if he really couldn't escape, he wouldn't survive, but would lead everyone to resist. This is also his character, otherwise he would not have gone outside in the first place. And he also saw that these people were not good, and agreeing to them was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.
"So, do you want to borrow it?" Lei Hu accentuated his tone, and as he spoke, a pair of leopard eyes swept towards the people behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "What about you?
"We all listened to the village chief. ”
"Yes, yes, you are bandits, bandits. ”
"If you want to rob it, just say it, we're really afraid of you. ”
“......”
Fan Lao did not stop the villagers' enthusiasm, obviously preparing to fight to the end. And those selected villagers are all veterans who often entangle with wild beasts in the mountains, so they naturally will not be too afraid of the bandits on the other side.
"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking. Brothers, let's go. The men and the old men were killed, and the women and children were left behind. With a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, Lei Hu gave a cruel order without hesitation.
Suddenly, with a "boom", I saw a sharp arrow stuck in the head of one of the Yinhutang, and it was actually killed with one blow. Looking back, it turned out that it was Shi Lei who took the lead and killed the guy with the bow on the other side before he could react.
When Lei Hu saw it, he was furious, and there were not many of his subordinates, but now there are fewer of them. Seeing that the black charcoal on the opposite side was about to take a bow again, he hurriedly drew his knife and rushed towards him. Seeing this, the rest of the Yinhutang also rushed to the opposite side, and some people lit torches and threw them into the village.
didn't care about fighting the fire, the villagers rose up to resist, and there was actually Fan Lao's figure among them, which was really old and strong.
Sparks burst out, fighting and shouting, and the tranquility of the valley was shattered......
