With a "whoosh", an arrow suddenly shot at Xiao Qimen from nowhere.

Xiao Qi hurriedly took two steps back and hid behind an old tree in the courtyard.

There was no movement for a long time, Xiao Qi looked at the courtyard gate suspiciously, thoughtful.

"Dang, dangdang."

"Dang, dangdang."

A quick knock on the door sounded outside, and then, someone outside said: "It's all you, little rabbit, don't move your bow and arrows, you have to move, fortunately the door of this courtyard is closed, if there are people, how should you clean it up?" ”

The voice is a little hoarse, but it gives people a sense of vicissitudes, this should be a middle-aged person.

One stubbornly replied, "I didn't know I had that much strength to shoot over here!" ”

This voice sounds relatively young, Xiao Qi guessed that this should be a child's voice change period.

"You stinky boy dare to talk back!"

"Smack!"

It was a sound of meat touching meat, if Xiao Qi didn't guess wrong, it should be that the child was beaten.

This should be a child who is playful, took his father's bow and arrow, and carefully shot the arrow to Xiao Qi's door.

The village is backed by mountains, and if it is said that there are hunters in this village, it can be explained.

Outside, the knock on the door sounded again, and the middle-aged man from before said, "Is anyone there?" ”

Perhaps hearing that there was no one in the house to respond, the child reluctantly replied, "All right, Dad, since there is no one in the house, let's go." ”

This was followed by the "popping" sound of meat hitting meat.

"You stinky boy! I don't want to admit how I did something wrong. ”

"Didn't you accidentally stick the key on his mask, and you didn't shoot someone?"

"You stinky boy! I still want to shoot people, see if I don't kill you stinky boy! ”

Xiao Qi walked to the door at this time, opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man raising his hand to slap a child in the face.

also heard the sound of the door opening, and the man was stunned. He just raised his hand and didn't slap it down.

The middle-aged man was wearing a coat of unknown fur, covered with dark stains, and there was an illusion of brilliance in the sun.

The child he was dragging by his neck with his hand and carrying it was no different from the middle-aged man, the only difference was that it was slightly cleaner than the middle-aged man.

Seeing Xiao Qi come out, the middle-aged man hurriedly put his hand down, pulled his son very respectfully, and bowed his head to Xiao Qi to admit his mistake.

"I heard someone in the village say that someone from Liu Yuanwai's courtyard in the village came, but I didn't expect it to be a son."

The child, who was pressed on his head by a middle-aged man, muttered softly, "The face is so white, it's not healthy at all." ”

The middle-aged man slapped the back of the child's head with his hand on the head.

"What do you know, you think it's like you're a village baby."

Then he changed the ferocity on his face, his face was pleasant, and he even said to Xiao Qi with some flattery: "The child is not sensible, you can take care of it." ”

Xiao Qi nodded, "I don't know what the two of you are here for?" ”

The middle-aged man rubbed his hands, his face flushed, he didn't know what to say, and slapped the back of his son's head again.

"It's this kid who came out with my bow and arrows and accidentally shot the arrow at your door."

The middle-aged man pointed to the door with his finger and sneered: "It's all this rabbit cub who is not sensible, you want to beat or scold you, although this stinky boy wants to say a word again, watch me clean him up." ”

Xiao Qi walked to the door, took the arrow down, and then handed the arrow to the middle-aged man.

"Be careful in the future, just don't hurt people."

Just now, Xiao Qi looked at the depth of the arrow's entry, and did not shoot through the heavy door panel.

Although it is only inserted in the door panel, it can enter the wood for three points, Xiao Qi does not know archery, and he feels that it is already very powerful.

The middle-aged man didn't take the arrow, but looked at the courtyard behind Xiao Qi.

"Does Childe live alone?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer the middle-aged man's question, but said, "I don't know where you are, uncle?" ”

may be a conscious faux pas, and the flush that the middle-aged man's face finally faded from resurfaced on his face.

The middle-aged man scratched his head embarrassedly and pointed to the village behind him, "The small one is the hunter in that village, and there are many disturbances, and I hope that the son will take care of it." ”

"Childe, there is a sentence that the little one doesn't know whether to say or not."

"Uncle is polite, but it's okay to talk about it."

"Although our village is closer to the city, after all, this is a troubled time, and a place like ours is a place with poor mountains and remote areas, and the son seems to be a little weak, so it is better to live in the city."

Xiao Qi was a little surprised by this person's kind reminder, but he didn't think much about it and said, "I'm not the only one who lives here. ”

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, I was too worried about what I said, so I bothered the son, so we will leave first."

Xiao Qi nodded, watched the two of them leave, and then silently closed the door.

Although he always felt that something was wrong, after what happened just now, Xiao Qi's doubts in his heart were a little less.

It's just that when Xiao Qi hadn't returned to the house, he heard a knock on the door from outside again.

This time, the knock on the door was faster than just now, and from outside the house came a familiar voice from Xiao Qi.

"Miss, open the door! Miss, open the door! ”

This voice Xiao Qi is very familiar, that's right, the owner of this voice is the maid in Xiao Qi's courtyard, Xue Yi's voice.

Xiao Qi hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door without thinking about it.

Xue Yi's body was covered in blood, and her chest was undulating at this time, and it seemed that it had taken a lot of effort.

"Miss, it's not easy to stay here for a long time, we have to leave quickly."

Xue Yi held a sword in one hand, blood dripping from her fingers on the other.

"Xue Yi, are you okay?"

"Miss, I'm fine, we have to get out of here quickly, a large number of people from the imperial court have surrounded this place."

Xiao Qi is not a person who hesitates, since Xue Yi said so, coupled with the blood on Xue Yi's body, Xiao Qi has to believe her words.

"Good!"

Seeing Xiao Qi turn around to enter the house, Xue Yi said anxiously: "Miss, the situation is urgent now, let's not clean up those things outside the body." ”

"Either pack up, I'm just taking a book, this book is very important to me, you wait a minute."

Xiao Qi didn't explain anything, and immediately rushed into the house to carry the burden of the book on his back.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Qi looked at Xue Yi, who was covered in blood, and still couldn't help but say with some worry: "Are you really okay?" On you..."

Xue Yi waved her arm, "This blood is not mine, Miss, don't worry, let's hurry up and go this way." ”

Xue Yi took Xiao Qi's hand and walked in one direction.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xue Yi looked at the mountain stream in front of her, her breath was disordered, and she never returned to normal, "I can't explain it clearly, anyway, Miss, your position here has been exposed." ”

"What? Why do you know that you haven't returned to Tianyiguan? ”

"This matter is a long story, and when I get out of here, I will explain it to Miss."

"Then what should Grandpa Mo Yan and the Nail Palace Master do?"

"Don't worry about the two of them, they will naturally have a way to escape, and they will come after us when the time comes."

"Where do we go now?"

"The place I came from just now should have been surrounded by them by now, we fled in the opposite direction, and it should be their weak place."

It is difficult to deduce from the blood stains on Xue Yi's body how many people she killed, and it is certain that Xue Yi has experienced a bloody battle.

The two of them fled towards the mountain behind Xiao Qi's courtyard.

Mo Yan once inquired with the people in the village about this mountain, although the mountain is not high, it is continuous, and the terrain is not so dangerous, if there is no local villagers to guide the way, it will definitely be lost.

In this kind of place, the land has not been cultivated much, and the deep mountains are full of trees, and it looks depressed at the moment, but there are many dangers in it, and the slightest carelessness can kill you.

In the summer, there will be miasma in the deep mountains, and there are some unknown insects and beasts, which will pose a threat to those who enter them.

In winter, the seemingly safe mountains are covered with heavy snow, and many ravines and caves are buried by the same heavy snow.

If you rush there, falling into it is like falling into the abyss.

At this moment, there is no chance for Xiao Qi to think so much, according to Xue Yi's words, there is a wolf and a tiger in front of him, and now he has no choice, only which side has a better chance of escaping.

"Xueyi, is this the only way?"

Xue Yi frowned and said, "I didn't go anywhere else, I just knew that running towards the mountains should be the safest." ”

"This mountain range is continuous, as long as we escape into the mountains, we can take advantage of the terrain to get rid of them."

"Miss, don't worry, I only grew up in the mountains. , I have experience in how to live in the mountains, you don't have to worry. ”

Xiao Qi didn't speak, he wasn't afraid of being in danger in the mountains, but he was afraid that Mo Yan and the Nail Palace wouldn't be able to find him, if the two of them didn't know about it, what should they do?

Thinking about it, Xiao Qi had already followed Xue Yi to the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly feeling that there was a very big movement behind him, Xiao Qi glanced behind him with some anxiety.

The originally quiet village was flooded with a lot of people at this time, most of them were soldiers in armor, and a small number of people were dressed in red and black clothes.

Xiao Qi didn't know what kind of organization these people were, and when he was still in a daze, he was called back to reality by Xue Yi.

"Miss, don't delay, they're already chasing after you, let's go!"
