Chapter 0004: Chasing
(Favorites, recommendations come soon)
In the early morning, the sun leaps out of the horizon and shoots countless golden arrows, snatching the world back from the darkness, dyeing the whole world with a faint layer of gold, declaring its sovereignty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the southern wilderness, there is only a rare trace of coolness in the early morning, and the faint water vapor is like mist, shrouding the mountains, forests, fields, and cities, so that the whole world is still immersed in night dreams.
While most people are still asleep, many people have already started their day's work, and the streets of Yuanshan City are gradually becoming more and more crowded, and even the birds know that only when they get up early can they eat insects.
"Drive!"
As soon as the gate of Yuanshan City opened, more than a dozen horned horses rushed out, raising countless pieces of mud and dust, and dispersed the rare fresh air in the early morning.
The leader of the horse team was Qi Zhutou, he and his brothers did not sleep all night, and after confirming that the murderer was a little beggar, they carried out a city-wide search overnight, but the little beggar was not found in the distant mountain city, and at the same time, a patrolling sergeant found that on the north city wall, there was a rope that stretched out of the city.
Escaped, the little beggar actually escaped from the distant mountain city overnight, isn't he afraid of the beasts that haunt the night in the wilderness?
Qi Zhutou was a little surprised, he didn't expect this little beggar to be so decisive, he fled thousands of miles after a blow, it was completely a killer's style, but he also knew that the other party was just a little beggar, it couldn't be a killer, which aroused his interest, and he really wanted to see the extraordinaryness of this little beggar. At that time, there was still an hour before the city gate would be opened, and Qi Zhutou reported the progress of the case to Fu Yuanshan.
Fu Yuanshan asked the catchers to chase after dawn, just a little beggar, can he escape to the sky, it is not too late to pursue after dawn.
The leader of Qi Hunt led the order, gathered his men to hastily eat at a breakfast stall, took the horned horses, and waited for the city gate to open, and then went to arrest the little beggar.
Just when Qi Zhutou rushed out of the city gate, Baili Ming, who had slept all night in the wilderness, also woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the dense branches and leaves on his head, but he didn't react, and stared at the leaves in a daze.
"Let's go!"
A drop of dew dripped onto his face, down his cheek and down his ear.
Bai Liming stretched out his hand to wipe the dew from his face, and suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, reminding him that he was on the run, he was in the wilderness, and he saw a gourd treasure yesterday.
"Where's the gourd vine?"
Baili sat up excitedly, not understanding why he fell asleep here, he looked left and right, but did not see the gourd vine, and strangely enough, his clothes were dry and fresh, and he was not wet with dew, and at the same time, he was not bitten by mosquitoes.
"Oh no, I have to run away!"
The early morning sun shone down through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting pillars of light one after another, imprinting spots of light on the ground, among them, there was a spot of light that fell on Bai Liming's face, which made him instantly return to normal thinking, understand the current time, and understand that his current situation is very dangerous.
Baili Ming couldn't think about the disappearing gourd vine, he hurriedly got up, picked up the wooden sticks and short swords scattered on the ground, discerned the direction, and ran in the direction of Lin Cheng, but he had deviated from the original route, and now he was in the depths of Cangmang Mountain, and he had to make a big bend to reach Lin Cheng.
Walking the road Baili Ming is not daring to think, that way, as long as there are pursuers, he has no possibility of escaping at all, only in the deep mountains and old forests, it is possible to escape, although, there are many unknown dangers in the Cangmang Mountain, but it is better than being caught.
In the blink of an eye, Baili Ming disappeared into the dense forest, but the separated bushes and trampled flowers and plants all showed that someone had just walked here.
"Qi Tou'er, look here!"
A catcher found the footprints on the ground, the footprints were very fresh, not long after stepping out, looking at the size, it matched the age of the little beggar they captured, so he greeted Qi Catcher.
Qi Zhutou turned over and dismounted, came to the footprints, stretched out his hand to measure them, and looked at the traces around him, and confirmed that the footprints were the little beggar's, which were the same as the footprints found in the back house of the Li Mansion.
"Everyone dismounts, leave one person to take care of the horses, the others come with me, the murderer is in front, he can't run far, chase!"
Qi Catcher gave an order, and all the catchers got off the Jiaolin Horse, tied the Jiaolin Horse to the tree, left one person to guard it, dispersed, and followed the traces left by Baili Ming, tracking down towards the depths of Cangmang Mountain, and the distance between the two was only a few miles.
At this time, there was a figure in white clothes suspended in the sky, the figure looked down at the mountains and forests below, as if looking for something, he flew to the sky above a certain place from time to time, but after a burst of induction, he flew to another place, and the whole person was like a fairy, dashing.
Bai Liming, who fled in the reckless mountains, was very embarrassed, a dark gray coat and trousers were stained with mud, and many places had been scratched by thorns, revealing the delicate skin inside, and his skin was even worse, drenched in blood, all wounds cut by thorn vines.
Bai Liming was suddenly unaware of the wounds on his body, his lips were tightly closed, he was panting, his eyes were glaring fiercely, and he looked back from time to time, he had already found that the pursuers were falling behind him, which put a lot of pressure on him, forcing him to move faster, but the distance between the two was getting smaller and smaller.
"He rested here all night and fled in that direction!"
A catcher came to the place where Baili Ming found the gourd vine and slept soundly, observed the traces on the ground, and continued to chase.
At the beginning, these catchers still admired Bai Liming a little, after all, everyone knew that Li Feng was not a good thing, but there were no people who dared to do anything to him, and this little beggar was not afraid of heaven and earth, in order to avenge the old beggar, he actually came up with such a sinister revenge method, and almost let him succeed.
But now, these catchers have complained for hundreds of miles, this vast mountain is full of thorns, ravines, and dangers, and the climate in the dense forest is even more humid and hot, and there are countless mosquitoes and other insects to suck blood, so that they search very hard, and they have suffered a lot of crimes, so they all want to quickly catch the murderer and go back to the errand, leaving this hellish dense forest.
"He's here!"
One of the catchers found the strip of cloth hanging on the thorns and the blood stains on the ground, looked up, and vaguely saw the back of Baili Ming flashing into the bushes.
"Chase, he's in front!"
"Fence up, don't let him run!"
"Catch it alive!"
The catchers shouted loudly, the purpose was to scare Baili Ming out, which was the same as hunting, using the sound to alarm the prey, so that the prey fell into the net.
Hearing the shouts from behind, Bai Liming's heart tightened, thinking, it's over, the chasing soldiers caught up, but his face instantly showed ruthlessness, his eyes showed incomparable perseverance, and the lip he bit unconsciously was already bleeding, and he told himself that until the last moment, he would never give up, even death would not make them feel better, so he quickly fled to the front.
Baili Ming didn't know the direction, he actually climbed a cliff, there was no way out in front, and the pursuers arrived again, which made him desperate, but under the despair, it also aroused his ruthlessness, he picked up the stone casually and threw it at the pursuers.
Many beggars are chickens and dogs and thieves, and they are good at beating dogs and ducks, and the level of throwing stones in Baili Ming is basically similar to the level of his catching snakes.
"Little rabbit, your hands are still quite black, brothers be careful!"
Qi Zhutou dodged the oncoming stones, scolded, and then reminded the catchers around him, even if he reminded him, there were still catchers who were hit by the stones, and from time to time there was a painful sound.
"Boy, I see where you're going!"
In the end, Qi Catcher led people to drive Baili Ming to the edge of the cliff, the distance between the two sides was less than two zhang, and all the catchers stared at Bai Li Ming with bad intentions.
Bai Liming threw the last stone, held the wooden stick in both hands, and watched the catchers vigilantly, he asked, "Why are you arresting me?"
"Boy, you asked knowingly, right? Do you think others don't know about the things you did in the Li Mansion?"
Qi Zhutou wanted to step forward and grab Baili Ming many times, but he was beaten back by waving a stick in the air, he was not afraid of the disorderly stick, he was afraid that the little beggar would jump off the cliff excitedly, then he would work all night in vain, he would catch him alive.
"Li Feng, he should be damned, you are aiding and abusing!"
Baili Ming said sharply, the stick in his hand swept back and forth in the air, at this time, he had retreated to the edge of the cliff, and between the movement of his steps, stones fell from time to time, and all the catchers who watched were worried.
"Do those innocent maids also deserve to die?" Qi Zhutou reached out and grabbed the other end of the stick, and snatched the stick over.
Bai Liming was snatched away from the stick in his hand, almost fell off the cliff, his body shook twice on the edge of the cliff, he hurriedly stabilized his figure, he already held the short sword in his hand, waved it and forced Qi to catch the head, and said: "That was all killed by Li Feng, Li Feng is already dead, those maids are not dead in vain, it's a big deal that I will pay for their lives." ā
"Boy, I'm going to disappoint you, Li Shao didn't die, he was saved by the masters of Qingyuan Sect, only two innocent maids died, I'll arrest you and go back to pay for their lives!"
Qi Zhutou tried to snatch the short sword in Baili Ming's hand many times but failed, so he thought of using words to stimulate him, he wanted to capture Bai Liming alive at the moment when he was stimulated and distracted.
"Li Feng didn't die, only a few innocent maids died? Innocent? They are innocent, so isn't my grandfather innocent? If I want to pay for their lives, who will pay for my grandfather's life? Hahaha...... You want to capture me alive, delusional!"
Baili Ming looked up to the sky and roared, his face was full of tears, and when he saw Qi Catcher rushing towards him, he glared at the other party hatefully, and was about to jump off the cliff.
