Chapter 8: Seeing Blood

A few days after the Wang family withdrew from Qianye Town, several businessmen who had done a big business in the town left Qianye Town one after another.

An atmosphere of unease began to reign in the town.

For such an atmosphere is obviously something that adults are concerned about, Chen De and his playmates are not affected much, and they are still having a good time.

Zhang Zhiliang followed Chen De almost every day, and they visited many shops that they usually dare not enter, tasted some delicacies that they usually dare not buy, and bought some toys and supplies that they had wanted to buy for a long time but never bought.

On a day when he didn't have to go to school, Chen De, who had been playing late the night before, was sleeping lazily when there was a sudden loud noise on the street.

There was the sound of savage banging on the door, the sound of running, the sound of angry scolding and quarrelling, the sound of throwing objects, and the screams of people.

Chen De hurriedly got up and quickly got dressed.

At this time, he remembered what Mrs. Wang had said to him before leaving, and he couldn't help but be a little scared. Just as I was thinking about how to deal with it, there was a sound of "knocking" at the door of my house. One of the servants of the family hurriedly went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, two fierce sergeants rushed in, wearing black armor, two of them were not tall, one was slightly taller and thinner, both of them were dark-skinned, and each held a hand*.

They pointed at Chen De and his subordinates, but Chen De and the others couldn't understand the words of the two sergeants, and stood there in a daze.

The two sergeants became impatient, one pointed a knife at Chen De and his subordinates, and the other came up to search him.

The men did not dare to move, and saw that the broken silver and valuable things in their arms were all stolen by another soldier.

When Chen De was found, the short sergeant touched more than four taels of silver, and his heart was overjoyed, and his movements were even bigger, tearing Chen De's clothes.

The things that Chen De had bought with great difficulty fell to the ground.

Chen De was angry in his heart, so he started to snatch back his silver.

The short sergeant raised his hand and pushed Chen De to the ground. The other tall sergeant, who had been pointing a knife at them, waved it in the direction of Chen De with a knife, cursing in his mouth.

A subordinate hurriedly ran over to help Chen De up, and moved a few steps away from the two sergeants.

This subordinate whispered to Chen De: "Young master, we can't afford to mess with them. You're going to have to hold back. ”

At this time, two people happened to be standing in front of the door of the main room. The two sergeants raised their feet and walked in the direction of the main room. The short sergeant had pinned his knife to his waist, holding a handful in his left hand and leaving his right hand empty.

When he walked past Chen De, he didn't look at Chen De, and as soon as he raised his right hand, he slapped Chen De to the ground.

Chen De got up, touched the hot left side of his face, and a murderous aura suddenly rose in his heart.

When the subordinate next to Chen De saw Chen De's face, he felt that something bad was going to happen, and he reached out to grab him, but when he stretched out his hand, he grabbed it empty. Chen De had already run to his room.

Chen De didn't know how he got back to the room, and he didn't know how he stood in front of the door of the main room again.

At this time, he was about ten paces away from the door of the main room. As he stood there with his quiver on his back and the little bow and arrow in his hand, he felt his mind clear a little, and his breathing began to calm down.

When the people saw Chen De standing there with a bow and arrow, they were all startled, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, there was the sound of cursing, smashing furniture, and throwing objects from the main room.

Apparently, the two sergeants had discovered that there was little value in the main house and were venting their anger.

Not long after, the two men stepped out of the door of the main room. As soon as the two sergeants went out of the door, they saw Chen De holding a small bow and arrow, and was looking at them angrily.

The two sergeants looked at Chen De's small bow and arrow, glanced at each other, and after a few words, the two sergeants actually laughed.

Obviously, he was very contemptuous of Chen De and his little bow and arrow, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Chen De sneered in his heart, and immediately shot two arrows in a row.

One arrow goes straight to the center of the short man's eyebrows, and another arrow goes straight to the throat of the tall man. All of them are the key points of the two sergeants.

"Snort", "snort" twice, and the two arrows hit the target.

Coupled with the close distance, the laughter of the two sergeants was suddenly interrupted by their own screams.

The two sergeants, one clutching their throats and the other covering their heads, fell backwards in unison. As he fell, blood splattered high. Soon the yard was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The two subordinates shouted and ran to the backyard, and disappeared in a flash.

The first time he shot a living person, Chen De's heart beat hard, and his nose was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made Chen De have the urge to vomit. He held back, but his face turned pale.

Chen De looked at the two corpses lying on the ground, their chests bulging, and they obviously carried many things in their arms.

He quickly remembered the silver he had been robbed of, and as soon as he turned around, he ran back to his room, and quickly took out the rucksack he had used to hold his prey.

Then he scrambled to loot the belongings of the two sergeants.

There was no time to look closely, and he stuffed it into his backpack.

Obviously, these two sergeants had robbed a lot of people and had a lot of things on their bodies, and Chen De spent a lot of time almost filling his backpack.

At this time, there was only one subordinate by his side, and it was the one who helped him up, named Zhao Dekang, who was nearly middle-aged.

The * of the two sergeants was too heavy for him, and he did not dare to take it, so he took two daggers of the army standard that the sergeant had in his waist.

Zhao Dekang kept urging in Chen De's ear: "Young Master, hurry, go!"

There was already a shout in my ears that seemed to be calling for these two sergeants, after all, the screams made by these two sergeants were not small.

There were bursts of chaotic running footsteps, which seemed to be running towards the Chen family's house.

Chen Deji scavenged the two things of the souls of the dead under his arrows. I heard the door being kicked open with a "bang".

Outside the door, an officer with a few sergeants was about to rush inside. Chen De didn't say a word, and after a series of three arrows shot at the person outside the door, it was another three arrows in a row.

Not caring about the results of the battle, he turned around and ran to the backyard. Zhao Dekang led the way in front.

Fortunately, the people who ran away in front have already opened the back door. This bought them some time to escape for their lives. When Chen De ran to the back door, he closed the back door by the way.

When Chen Degang ran out of the back door, Zhao Dekang had already run more than a dozen steps to the east. Probably because it was downhill to the east, he ran eastward. As soon as Chen De went out, he saw the Qingliu River in front of him, and immediately had an idea.

He immediately shouted to Zhao Dekang: "Go west, go to Zhang Zhiliang's house." ”

He spread his legs in front and ran desperately towards Uncle Zhang's house, and Zhao Dekang followed closely behind at first. Soon overtook Chen De, he didn't dare to run too fast, if that would leave Chen De alone.

Chen De followed behind Zhao Dekang, observing his surroundings from time to time with his abilities. Fortunately, there was no interception in front. The pursuers behind were not familiar with the terrain and were not able to exert their maximum speed.

They walked along the river, across the fence, through the grove, uphill for a while, downhill for a while, turning from time to time, and after running a hundred and twenty or thirty zhang road, they finally arrived at the backyard of Zhang Tingyuan's house.

Zhao Dekang didn't knock on the door in front, and just banged on the door and went in. After Chen De followed him in, he immediately shouted: "Zhang Zhiliang", "Zhang Zhiliang".

After screaming a few times, Zhang Zhiliang ran over in a hurry.

Chen De immediately said: "Go to the place where your boat is parked!" Zhang Zhiliang was not stupid, and immediately reacted. Immediately lead the way in front and run to the river.

Soon the three of them arrived at the place where Zhang's boat was parked.

Zhao Dekang immediately got on the boat and quickly pulled up the bamboo pole that had been fixed in the river beach through a hole in the bow of the boat and plunged deep into the river beach.

Chen De pulled out the dagger he had just arrived and cut the cable of the tie boat neatly.

After all three of them got on the boat, Zhao Dekang slammed the boat, and the boat sailed to the opposite shore. After holding a few poles, the water was already deep, so Zhao Dekang changed to swing the oar. Zhao Dekang exerted all his strength, and the speed of the boat was much faster than usual.

When the boat reached a third of the width of the river, the pursuers pursued them to the place where they had boarded the boat.

But the weapons in their hands could no longer threaten Chen De and the others, so they watched for a while. One of the officers gave the order in a hurry, and two groups of sergeants ran in two directions.

Chen De saw it clearly, and estimated that one way was to find a ship, and the other way was to transfer archers.

Zhang Zhiliang was a bold man, and when he saw that the sergeants on the shore were helpless against them, he would scold at the shore for a while, and make faces at the shore for a while.

The officers and his soldiers on the shore were so angry that they were shouting at the boat, waving their weapons in their hands.

Chen De looked at the sergeant on the shore coldly, and asked Zhao Dekang to shake as fast as possible. Zhao Dekang gritted his teeth and swayed desperately. Pushed by the river, the boat rushed diagonally towards the opposite bank.

When he was still a few feet away from the shore, there was a "whoosh", and an arrow flew by Zhao Dekang's shoulder. It turned out that an archer shot an arrow at Zhao Dekang before he could stand firmly, and his intention was to shoot Zhao Dekang and stop the boat, so that Chen De and the three of them could not escape.

This arrow made Chen De wake up suddenly, pick up the bamboo pole and hold the boat hard. The speed of the boat suddenly increased again, and soon the boat was on the shore of the river.

Zhao Dekang took the bamboo pole and inserted it into the parking hole at once.

The three of them heard the sound of bowstrings on the opposite shore and shouted in unison, and jumped to the shore without waiting for the boat to stop.

As soon as they arrived on the shore, the three of them heard the sounds of "duh", "duh", and "duh", which turned out to be more than a dozen arrows nailed to the boat.

It was really dangerous, Chen De and the others immediately ran to the shore with their lives.

The north bank of the Qingliu River is a hilly area, and in the past, these small earthen ridges and dirt hills were full of dense forests, but now the trees are sparse.

Chen De and the three of them had to keep climbing over one small hill after another.

I couldn't run, so I stopped for a while and continued running. It wasn't until Zhao Dekang felt safe that he dared to stop Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang and stop to rest.

When I stopped, the three of you look at me, I look at you, and everyone is embarrassed.

Sweat soaked my clothes, my hair was soaked, and my clothes and pants were torn and messy. They all sat on the ground gasping for air.

Chen De's situation was the worst, because he was reluctant, he kept carrying his bow and arrows and backpack, while Zhao Dekang and Zhang Zhiliang were always running with their empty hands.

After resting for a while, after finally relieving himself, Zhao Dekang was the first to stand up. said to Chen De: "Young Master, it turns out that the rumored Dazhu Congress attacked our Great Yuan Kingdom, and it is true. ”

Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang couldn't answer, so they could only nod.

And most of the young people don't take such rumors to heart, and they don't have much impression of it.

Zhao Dekang continued: "After I looked at their armor and listened to them, I knew that they were Dazhu. These soldiers of the Great Zhu Kingdom are ruthless to the people of our Great Yuan Kingdom, and they can kill them if they want to. ”

Chen Dedao: "Yes, when we were still in the town, we heard a lot of screams, and many people in Qianye Town were afraid that they had been poisoned. ”

Zhao Dekang saluted Chen De and said, "Young Master, I can't accompany the young master anymore, I'm worried about my family, I want to go home and take a look." Please forgive me. ”

Chen De said: "You go." Thank you so much for today!"

Zhao Dekang replied: "This is what I should do. ”

Chen De took a breath and said, "You are much better than other people, those people have already run away." ”

Zhao Dekang saluted again and said solemnly: "Young master, after I leave, you must take advantage of the darkness and rush to Gaoling Town as soon as possible." Spending the night in the wilderness is dangerous. ”

Zhao Dekang distinguished the direction for a while, pointed to the northwest, and said, "This is the direction." He paused for a moment and said, "Take care, two young masters, I'm leaving." With that, he turned and walked east.

Chen De struggled to stand up and said to Zhao Dekang, "Wait a minute. ”
