Chapter 19: Raid
The red sun burst out of the mountains to the east, and the two wagons of the Yili convoy left the camp, crushing the early morning dew and continuing to march.
Along the way, Bian Mei and his wife were quite cautious, and camped early to rest an hour before dark, but it went smoothly for four consecutive days, without any abnormal circumstances. Seeing that most of the journey had been walked, and that they would be able to reach Starlight City in about two days, everyone's tense nerves relaxed, and it seemed that the group of people they met on the first day were just in a hurry, not for everyone.
During this time, in addition to acting as a cook to cook for everyone, Lin Xiaogou practiced archery under the guidance of Bian Mei.
Bian Mei's attainments in archery are indeed quite level, and Lin Xiaogou has a flexible mind, so she started very quickly, and she actually shot the first chicken in her life the next day when she went out hunting...... Pheasant. Of course, this pheasant seems to be a little old, and his hair has almost fallen out, so that he can't fly, but this does not prevent Lin Xiao from being hooked, and he proudly carried this bare-ass old chicken and dangled it around in front of everyone.
Lin Xiaogou has a cheerful and witty temperament, not only telling jokes to entertain the public, but also making good dishes, so he is quite popular with everyone. After this period of getting along, Lin Xiaogou and the Meng Han family got along more familiarly.
At this time, Lin Xiaogou was sitting in front of the carriage, with a piece of grass in his mouth, his feet hanging leisurely under the wheel, Meng Han holding a horse whip next to him was driving the carriage, and Meng Nan was sitting on the other side like Lin Xiaogou.
The position of the car was not spacious, and it was even more crowded when there were three big men, no way, originally Meng Nan's kid was chasing the car behind him with his mother, but this thing is now obsessed with listening to Lin Xiaogou's story, so he just squeezed into this car.
"Uncle Meng, what kind of star root are you?" Lin Xiaogou asked.
Meng Han grinned and replied a little embarrassedly, "Inferior four-star!"
The star root is divided into three ranks, upper, middle and lower, and each rank has nine stars, and the lower four stars are quite rubbish star roots.
"Meng Nan, what kind of star root are you?" Lin Xiaogou asked again.
Meng Nan smiled and said, "Guess!"
Lin Xiaogou threw the grass in his mouth and threw it on Meng Nan, and said with a smile: "Look at your tail is about to, Xinggen's rank must be higher than that of Uncle Meng." ”
Meng Han said with a proud smile on his face: "Xiao Nan's star root has a medium-grade two-star!"
Lin Xiaogou screamed: "Yes, the seven stars are the top-grade star roots!"
Meng Nanhan said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Gou, don't tease me, the middle grade two-star is a little better than the lower grade!"
Lin Xiaogou smiled: "By the way, Meng Nan, you have already quenched your body, what does it feel like to quench your body in Xingyuan." ”
Meng Nan grabbed the back spoon and said, "I don't know how to describe it, it's ...... anyway It's the little things that seep into the body...... That, alas, you still ask my father, I don't know how to say it!"
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but roll his eyes, this child's expression skills are too clumsy, how can he please his daughter-in-law in the future?
At this time, Meng Han opened his mouth and said: "The starry sky is filled with countless starlight powers, and quenching the body is to attract these star elements into the body, tempering the muscles, bones, flesh and blood, and only those who have star roots can communicate with the star elements." Of course, to have a star root, you have to open the star gate first, so that you can feel the star energy floating around. ”
"Then how to open the Star Gate?" Lin Xiaogou asked.
"Some geniuses' star gates will open on their own when they reach a certain age, and most of them have to open them through external forces, such as taking Qiyuan Pill, or having other star cultivators help open the star gates. Of course, the premise of opening the stargate must have a star root, and if there is not even a star root, there will naturally be no star gate to open!"
"That is to say, it is absolutely impossible for a person without a star root to cultivate?"
Meng Han nodded, Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but feel a little lost, it seemed that the body was hot before and it was not Xingyuan Quenching.
Seeing Lin Xiaogou silent, Meng Nan couldn't help but cast a sympathetic gaze, remembering that Brother Xiaogou said that he had no star roots, and could only be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
At this time, the carriage was driving to a mountain bend, and there were several string sounds on the mountain range in front of him, and three sharp arrows broke through the air, directly hitting the throats of Lin Xiaogou and the others, and when the arrows broke through the air, they made a chilling gas explosion.
Meng Han's face changed greatly, and he suddenly lifted the reins, and the two healthy horses that were running were pulled up stiffly, just blocking the front of the three of them.
Two powerful arrows pierced the necks of the two horses, pouring blood and rushing wildly, and the remaining one passed between the two horses, buzzing, and was inserted into the beam of the car half a foot above Lin Xiaogou's head, and the tail of the arrow was still buzzing and trembling.
Lin Xiaogou was completely frightened, only to feel that his butt was kicked by someone, and he fell out of the carriage in embarrassment and rolled into the grass on the side of the road.
As soon as Lin Xiaogou rolled off the carriage, the two horses fell to the ground with a bang, the carriage was thrown high, fell and fell to pieces, and the people and goods in the carriage rolled out, and there was an instant mourning.
Fortunately, Bian Mei, who was setting up the car behind, reacted quickly and immediately tightened the reins, and the two horses stopped the momentum in time, so that they did not collide with it, causing a second disaster.
At this moment, the rattling of strings continued, and several sharp arrows shot in, nailing to the ground several vendors who were crying and crying out for their mothers.
Lin Xiaogou, who had just gotten up in the grass, was stunned by the tragic scene in front of him, as a modern person, when had he seen such a tragic scene, it was a living human life.
Boom...... A deadly arrow came straight to Lin Xiaogou's chest, and when he saw that he was about to be pierced through the chest, a sturdy figure swooped up, slapped him over with one palm, and the sharp arrow shot into the ground without a shot.
Lin Xiaogou reacted at this time, looked at it calmly, and found that it was Bian Mei who saved him.
At this moment, Bian Mei was lying not far from Lin Xiaogou, like a female leopard hunting for food, with her hands on her bow and arrows, her eyes staring at the mountains in front of her, while whispering: "Lying on your stomach, don't move." ”
Lin Xiaogou nodded, swept his eyes around, and found that the remaining carriage was still parked in the middle of the official road, and the little maid should be safe in it for the time being, so he couldn't help but relax a little.
There were ten people in the carriage in front of them, all of them were injured and scattered in the middle of the road, and now only three were left wailing in pain, and the rest were nailed to the ground with sharp arrows, and the miserable scene made the scalp tingle.
"Sister Mei, you have to find a way to save them!" Lin Xiaogou said in a low voice.
"Don't move, the living mouth is deliberately left, at this time, go up to save people and send them to death!" Bian Mei said in a deep voice.
"Friends on the mountain, Meng Han in the Xiayi pear car shop, all when he goes out, he is seeking money, why rush to kill everything, we can hand over all the belongings on our bodies, can you let me wait for a horse?" Meng Han's voice sounded.
Lin Xiaogou found that Meng Han's father and son were hiding in the grass on the other side of the official road.
As soon as Meng Han finished speaking, a cold light flashed on the mountain, and a powerful arrow roared, killing a groaning merchant in the middle of the road.
However, Bian Mei was like a cheetah that had caught the whereabouts of its prey, jumping up in the grass, people in mid-air, the longbow was full of the moon, the cold stars on the string were flying, and a miserable scream came from the mountains.
Boom Boom Boom ...... The strings rang endlessly, and several sharp arrows attacked Bian Mei's position like flying locusts, but the latter had already rolled away several meters to the side at the moment when the arrows left the strings, and the several powerful arrows of the other party's retaliation were shot empty.
On the other side, Meng Han's father and son also shot at this time, and two arrows were shot out, and there was another scream on the mountain, I don't know if the unlucky guy died.
