Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 7 Accidents
The development of world events is often very unexpected, hence the term "peak and loop".
No one thought that this group of robbers who came over on horseback in the middle of the night were not here to rob, but to send horses.
"It's true that we are robbers, but there is also a way to steal! Nanping County has suffered a natural disaster, and we have problems with our identities and are inconvenient to go to the disaster relief, but at least we can do our best to help. "So I contacted seven or eight nearby cottages and brought all the healthy horses we could muster togetherβwe thought that there was no post station in this area, and you would definitely not find a place to change horses, so let's use these horses to make up the numbers." β
When a good man meets a good man, there is no need to say much polite words, and the convoy quickly changed the horses pulling the cart, set off again in the bright moonlight, and headed south.
Before parting, the owner of the horse village told everyone that from here to the south, the heroes of the green forest are trying their best to collect healthy horses to ensure that the team can replace the horses in time along the way, and will never delay the disaster relief!
After the convoy went far away, you could still vaguely see the torchlight of those heroes, which shone not only in the night, but also in the hearts of everyone in the convoy.
"What do you mean by 'slaughtering dogs more than one dog'? Speaking of the heroes in the world who are righteous and righteous, they are often mixed with the rivers and lakes. "It's another evening, and Lao Bai is telling a story to everyone in the team again, "Today I will tell a story of 'fake green forest meets real green forest, Sha Mingde hangs Sha Mingde upside down'!" β
"It is said that in the west of Kyushu, there is a Western Qin country, with strong folk customs and rich in all kinds of green forest heroes......"
"Lao Bai, what do you say, the hero of the green forest is not a radish in the field, how can he be abundant?" A young dart master who was very familiar with him joked with a smile, "Could it be that the water and soil there are special, and if you sprinkle a handful of seeds in the ground, what you will harvest is not rice and millet, but a hero in the green forest?" β
Everyone immediately laughed, and Lao Bai also laughed.
After laughing for a while, he explained: "The land of the Western Qin Kingdom is barren, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters are full of shrews and people, and the people of the Western Qin Kingdom are so many that they farm when they are busy with farming, rob when they are slack, and do not delay their main and sideline businesses." That's why I said that it is rich in green forest heroes. β
"There are many heroes in this green forest, and there will naturally be some famous ones in it, including Sha Mingde......"
Wu Xie also listened to Lao Bai's story in the crowd, which was similar to "Li Kui met Li Ghost" in the Water Margin, but that "gust of wind" Sha Mingde was not a stupid Li Kui, he would be lied to, and the robber who pretended to be his name could not deceive him at all. And he is not a ferocious, vicious and murderous madman like Li Kui, he did not kill the other party, but picked him up like a bare pig and hung it upside down on a tree with a rope to blow the wind.
"Sha is called 'a gust of wind' by people in the rivers and lakes, since you are taking my name, then blow the wind for a few days." Lao Bai learned Sha Mingde's tone to speak, and then changed back to his usual narration tone, "After speaking, this hero rode away on a BMW, leaving only the white and chubby Sha Mingde hanging upside down on a tree, crying and shouting, 'Uncle, don't go!'" You always leave me at least a piece of cloth to cover the crotch of your pants! As he spoke, his work was blown by the cold wind, and he suddenly shrank and shrank, almost invisible......
Everyone in the convoy laughed again, not to mention how happy the atmosphere was.
However, the cheerful atmosphere did not last long, and when the sun went down, the sentry horse that had been exploring the way in front returned, and his face was so ugly that even the children could see that he was in great trouble.
"The heroes who should have met us in front and provided replacement horses have been harmed!" He didn't mean to hide the news, because the news couldn't be hidden at all, "More than forty people, more than a hundred horses, it's all over!" β
This news startled everyone in the team and came over to ask what was going on.
But there was no need to ask, because after the convoy had continued for some distance, they saw the scene of the killing.
It could be seen that these green forest heroes were fighting hard, because almost every one of them was wounded head-on. But their enemies are powerful, brutal, and efficient.
"There were at least four hundred men on the other side, of which there were about a hundred archers and heavy infantry, and the rest were cavalry. First, the cavalry came from the front, and they did not dismount, but surrounded the best of the best. A dart master who was good at judging the battle from the traces reproduced the scene, "and then the archers arrived, and they were also on horseback, and the horses were all parked on that side." β
He said, gesturing to a place with a lot of horseshoe prints in the distance: "At this time, they haven't moved until the heavy infantry comes." The men also rode horses, and the horses stopped next to the archers. β
"When the heavy infantry arrived, the men began to shoot arrows, four rounds in front and forth. Then the heavy infantry pressed forward with their guns raised...... It was a completely one-sided massacre. There was a good man who was very good at light skills, and he was also very good at kung fu, and he was lucky enough to break out of the siege - you see, he broke through from here. β
He pointed to a certain place, Wu Xie really didn't see anything special about the traces there, but several experienced soldiers and dart masters nodded in agreement, which showed that this dart master was not wrong.
"This good man is really powerful, he can rush out of this situation! He even killed one of the opposing horsemen, snatched the horse and ran in our direction, presumably to deliver a message to us. But he couldn't escape after all, and there was a very strong martial arts master among the opponents, who ran faster than a galloping horse - at that time he should have stabbed the horse in the buttocks, so that the horse could run as fast as possible, but even then he was overtaken by the guy......"
The master walked up to a soldier on horseback, used his hand as a sword, and gestured: "This man is not only a man of great skill, but also a terrible martial dew, and with a wave of his handβor a sword, in short, only one moveβhe split the man and his horse into four pieces!" β
This explanation is extremely clear and clear, especially the "knife" after the most slight, which is even more terrifying. The soldier who was the subject of the demonstration turned white with fright, and the faces of the others were not good-looking.
"It looks like it's a regular army." Xu Hai said viciously, "And I'm afraid it's still a first-class strong army." Hundreds of bows, hundreds of heavy infantry...... Hum! In the entire Great Chu State, there are not many people who can mobilize such a force......"
"Is the convoy going on?" Shen Yi asked, "The other party is likely to be coming for us, these heroes only suffered from the pond fish because they wanted to help us." If you keep going, I'm afraid you will inevitably fight them. β
"Keep going! Nanping County is waiting for our food! Guan Xiong, the leader of the team, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision, "Shen Daxia, you have high martial arts, please go back and send a letter......
"This can't be done, Shen has never been able to fight in battle, and he has never handed over his back to the enemy in his life." Shen Yi simply rejected this request, "What's more, if there is a fight, with me, the chances of winning will always be a few points higher." β
After some deliberation, the convoy sent a few young soldiers and dart masters to hurry back and deliver the news, while the rest of the people rested on the spot after burying the bodies of these green forest warriors, and waited for the horses to recover before moving on.
Wu Xie was also one of the people who was going to be sent back to deliver the letter, but he insisted that he couldn't ride a horse, and said that he was very good at treating external injuries.
The atmosphere of the night was a bit oppressive, and even the jokes told by Lao Bai were not able to attract the usual laughter.
"Lao Bai, we ...... Will it die? A younger dart master finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, his voice trembling a little, "It's just disaster relief!" Who is so desperate and mad, even the people who are helping the disaster will be harmed! Aren't they afraid of thunder and thunder from the sky! β
"Thunder and thunder in the sky, I've never seen it in my life." Lao Bai lay next to the grain cart and said lightly, "Instead of thinking about this unreliable thing, you might as well sharpen your knife faster, and when the time comes, you can cut off a few more heads, avenge these heroes, and destroy those damned things for God!" β
"That'...... When do you think they'll get their hands dirty? The other asked with a trembling voice.
"Who knows...... But I guess it's fast. Lao Bai pointed to the moonlit Daguan Road in front of him, "Thirty miles further, it is the mountain pass of Nanping Mountain; After crossing the mountain pass, we entered Nanping County, where there was a large army. No matter what the origin of those people is, they will definitely not let us arrive in Nanping County so safely! β
"So, don't ask this or that, sleep well, and concentrate on sharpening your knife. People are in the rivers and lakes, and it is the most straightforward to speak with a knife! β
Lao Bai's prediction was only half realized, and when they hit the road the next day, it was not the murderous army of unknown origin that blocked the way, but a pile of large stones.
I don't know who moved the mountain road ahead, and many large stones and huge trees were piled up like small mountains. Most of the people in the convoy are sturdy and nimble men, who can turn over lightly and skillfully, but what is the use of people in the past? The grain cart has no legs and feet, and it will never pass. The convoy had no choice but to stop temporarily, and the dart master and the soldiers moved the wood and stone bare-chested and snorted to clear the road.
Wood and stone blocking the road is a common means of robbing roads in the rivers and lakes, but now that wood and stone have appeared, the group of troops who should have robbed the road have not appeared, which is really a little puzzling.
"They must be hiding in the shadows, and they will kill them when we are exhausted......," Lao Bai scolded through gritted teeth, "Kill a thousand knives!" I'm going to slash them a few more times when I get started! β
Wu Xie nodded in agreement, and at the same time exerted his divine strength to help Lao Bai push this roadblock. At the same time, he also had to carefully hide his strength, so as not to accidentally reveal that he actually had strength far beyond ordinary people.
As a master at the peak of the day after tomorrow, his strength alone is more than the sum of ten or eight strong men, and if he is not careful, he will be exposed.
In fact, it's just that the strength is nothing, this world is not the earth, and the people with the divine power of non-human blood have never been too rare, for example, the legend that the founding ancestor of the Chu State is a half-demon with the bloodline of the ancient giant spirit, and he has tens of millions of catties of strength in his arms, when he led the troops to attack Changning City - it was still called the city at that time - when he wore heavy armor, he collapsed the gate of this ancient city with unparalleled brute force, and frightened the Qi army defending the city and surrendered one after another.
Compared with that kind of god-defying king, Wu Jie's strength is actually nothing. But strength comes from muscles and bones, and muscles and bones come from food, and if there is strength of ten people, there will definitely be food for ten people, otherwise where does the strength come from?
At least to the peak level of the acquired master can replenish physical energy by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, thus ignoring this common sense, Wu Xie is like this. But this matter is inconvenient to explain, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity now, so his far more strength than ordinary people and the amount of food that is no different from ordinary people is a big problem.
There is no way to increase the amount of food, his stomach is so big, and he can't eat more than half a bowl of rice when he dies, so he has to carefully control the strength in his hands so that no one can see that he is infinitely powerful.
"I can't imagine that hiding strength is so hard, I now admire the legendary God of War predecessor who has swept the Scripture Pavilion in the Shaolin Temple for decades!"
Jasmine, who had listened to Wu Jie's story about the sweeping monks in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, immediately shook her head: "Master, people just sweep the floor, not responsible for moving stones." β
