Chapter 163: Doubts
readx;
Ma Zichen led the horse and walked, and kept complaining: "If we ride a horse and walk for two more days, we can arrive in Jiaowei County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm afraid that we will have to walk for five days before we can reach Jiaowei County. ”
When everyone saw the horse having diarrhea, they couldn't bear to ride on the horse anymore, and they all led the horse to walk.
The empty path sounded the Buddha's horn and said, "Amitabha." The blessing of misfortune lurks, and the curse of blessing depends on it. Our group encountered such an accident, and no matter whether the innkeepers were deliberately framed or not, as long as we were calm, we could arrive in Longjing as soon as possible. ”
"Even if we return to the inn now, I'm afraid we'll have to walk for a day. It's just that when we return to the inn, what evidence can we have to prove that the people from the inn drugged?" Ma Zichen said with a sigh.
One of Xiao Xiong's group stood up and led the carriage led by Xu Yang.
Xu Yang watched everyone sigh continuously, and thought that when his group settled in the inn, Xiao Xiong and his group stayed near the carriage to guard, and asked Xiao Xiong and the others: "When I wait for dinner and rest at the inn, aren't you waiting outside to guard our baggage?" Did you see that it was the inn guys, or someone else who drugged our horses?"
After Xu Yang asked, everyone suddenly thought that Xiao Xiong and his group often guard baggage and other items, and now that the horse has become like this, if the other party knew, wouldn't it have been said a long time ago, and how could they wait for everyone to suspect each other.
Xiao Xiong asked his men one by one, but these men shook their heads one by one, their faces full of frustration, claiming that they had only seen the men in the inn feeding the horses forage, and had never seen any strange behavior, let alone the men feeding the horses unclean things.
When everyone heard that Xiao Xiong and his group had not seen the men in the inn drugged the horses, they immediately thought that the horses might have eaten unclean things somewhere else, but they thought about it carefully, they had lived in the wilderness all the way, and had never lived in the inn, so where did they eat unclean things?
It turned out that although Xiao Xiong and his group were guarding the baggage outside the inn, how could they prevent the thieves from worrying. When the guys in the Black Inch Inn saw that Xiao Xiong's men were not paying attention, they quickly added croton to the horse forage, so that Xiao Xiong's men did not see such small actions in the inn. This is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves.
"Since the group didn't see that it was the men in the inn who caused the damage, it must have been the horses who ate unclean things in other places, which caused the horses to have diarrhea en masse. Anyway, since we haven't seen any damage from the inn, and it's useless for us to wait for us to return now, let's get to the next city as soon as possible, so that we can find a veterinarian and treat the horses for diarrhea!" Xu Yang said.
Everyone thought about it, and they had no choice but to do it for the sake of the present. Therefore, they pulled their horses and staggered towards the north.
In the evening, the people set up their tents and ate and rested. And everyone's horses pulled their stomachs all the way, and they didn't eat forage, but just drank some water, which made everyone more anxious and uneasy. The crowd was looking for some herbs to relieve the horse's pain temporarily, but they still couldn't find any usable herbs.
The next day, when everyone got up, they were horrified to find the horses lying on the ground one by one, looking sick, and their spirits were even more decadent, and they couldn't pull up. At this moment, the horses are skinny and bone-like, with messy coats, cracked nose mirrors, and the back half of their bodies seem to be sleeping in a cesspool, sweeping away the demeanor of the past.
The horses were driven with whips, but none of them got up, except for a low neigh. Gradually, the horses stopped neighing, but only hummed twice, as if begging the people not to drive them away.
Dahu was deflated, sat on the ground, threw away the horsewhip in his hand, and muttered: "Originally, I expected to be able to reach Jiaowei County, and then ask a veterinarian to treat the horse, but who would have thought that it would become like this." I'm afraid that if these horses are not treated, they will be in danger. ”
The crowd also heard the two emaciated horses gasping for breath, and thought that if they could not find the antidote, they would die.
Ma Zichen saw that the horses had become like this, and wept sadly: "The horses were still pulling thin yesterday, why can't they do it now? What happened to cause the horses to become what they are now?" he said, stroking his mount, hoping that the other party would get better.
The crowd was also anxious and chaotic, but they were helpless, and could only hope for a miracle.
Although everyone knew that miracles could not happen, but now that they are like this, there is no other way for them to do so. Xu Yang looked at the horses and saw three carriages parked there, knowing that if there were no horses to pull the cart, he was afraid that he would need to rely on manpower to pull the cart.
At three poles in the sun, everyone's horses collapsed to the ground one by one, with more air out and less air intake, and finally the two horses both died.
When the two emaciated horses were the first to die, they were startled, wondering what kind of dirty thing the horses had eaten, and that they would kill the horses.
Everyone wept sadly for a while, and then Xiao Xiong and his group dug a pit for the horses so that they could bury the dead horses.
And when Xu Yang and his party were depressed, they didn't notice that there were several people hiding behind a dead tree, and they all smiled and looked at Xu Yang and others in frustration and tears for the horses and buried the corpses. And this group of people is the guys from the Black Inch Inn, who specially followed Xu Yang and the others to this place, so that they could take the opportunity to snatch the property.
Seeing that Xu Yang and his party were carrying the dead horses to the pit, and seeing that there were no pedestrians around, the group felt that the time had come, so they raised the guys in their hands one by one, shouted, jumped out of the tree, and galloped towards Xu Yang and his party.
When Xu Yang and the others were about to bury the horses, they suddenly heard loud shouts from the side, and when they looked back, they were horrified to see a group of people with black cloths in their mouths, holding big knives and fire guns, and coming towards them with a fierce look.
In an instant, Xu Yang and his party were surrounded by this group of people, and they couldn't help but throw away the trivial matters of burying them, and be careful to watch out for this group of people.
When Xu Yang and the others saw this group of people suddenly appearing, and saw that these people were holding weapons in their hands, they guessed that they were a group of bandits.
Xu Yang and his entourage saw a group of bandits suddenly rushing out in the distance, and their faces changed in fright, and then they saw this group of people surrounding their group, but they were relieved to see that this group of people was just ordinary people in the market.
Xu Yang and the others saw that their horses first had diarrhea and fell to the ground, and then this group of people suddenly appeared, so they thought that this group of people had been ambushed in advance, and they couldn't do it when they were slack?
Xu Yang was about to shout that this gang of bandits had no law, when one of the bandits with firearms shouted: "Don't move, whoever dares to move, I will kill whoever is the first! The purpose of the grandfathers is only to rob money, and they don't want to hurt everyone's lives, so you had better cooperate with us, otherwise we will not blame our weapons for not having long eyes!" As he spoke, he showed lustful eyes towards Liu Xiangping and the other female dependents.
"Don't move, or I'll open fire!" one of the bandits shouted, then shouted to his three companions, "You three, take the carriage away." After shouting, the three men hurriedly brought three horses from a distance, put the carriage in it, and led the horses to leave.
Xu Yang and the others saw that this group of people was so neat, and before they could speak, they had already taken away their baggage. Xu Yang saw that everyone's weapons were not in their hands, and with his bare hands, only by winning by surprise could he ensure that his belongings would not be taken away by the bandits.
Xu Yang counted the bandits around him, and found that after the bandits left three, there were only four left, and everyone had fire guns in their hands.
Xu Yang was about to swoop down the killer when he saw the people around him wink at him, signaling that he was ready and ready to do it at any time.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Xu Yang attracted the attention of the bandits to himself and said, "Big brothers, as long as you don't kill us, just take our belongings." It's just that we are really unwilling to let you take away the wealth we have accumulated for many years! Can you tell us your names, so that we can also die and understand whether it is or not? ”
"That's a lot of nonsense. It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, and we are not afraid that you will report to the authorities. Sir, we're not from anywhere else, but the guys at the Black Inch Inn. Presumably, you won't forget that you once rested in the inn, right?" said one of the bandits, scolding.
When Xu Yang and the others heard that these bandits were those guys from the Black Inch Inn, they immediately gasped, and realized that their group had already fallen into the trap of these bandits.
And when everyone thought of this, they were even more sure that their horses were drugged by these bandits. Xu Yang asked, "Could it be that our horses were given laxatives by you?"
"Now that we have told you who we are, we are not afraid to tell you more, so that you will not spend money in vain and will not be a fool. While you were staying at our inn, we took advantage of the fact that your guards were not looking, and we quickly dropped the croton, so that your horses would drag you down. And when you were distracted, we suddenly appeared and robbed you of your belongings. How's it going, we've got a perfect plan, right?" said one of the bandits triumphantly.
Xu Yang and his entourage heard that the reason why their horses were strained was really due to the other party, and they had doubted it during the period, but they didn't think that people would hurt the tiger, and the tiger would hurt people's hearts.
