Chapter 7 Serial Means
In the camp of the Xiang army, Wu Gen sat bored in Zhang Yuan's house.
Zhang Yuan had already gone to Qu Chang's residence in person to report the results of the trip. After all, three people died, and if you want to think about it, it will take some trouble.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yuan returned alone, his face calm, "Qu Changsu will report this matter to the captain, after all, three brothers died." As for the mirage, it was reported as evidence, but it was a little uncomfortable for you.
This time, the two of us have discovered the mystery of the mirage, and the golden song has a long saying, and there will be a reward after the gift, whether you stay here, or return to the barren mound ridge to wait. ”
Wu Yan stood up, put his right fist on his chest, and said with a straight face: "As a person on the border, you can't leave your post for a long time, I should return to the barren mound ridge." As long as I'm here, Arazuka Ridge is a bird that doesn't even want to fly. ”
Zhang Yuan smiled dumbly, "In a few days, I really want to go to Arazuka Ridge to see what kind of management you have become." Get out, I see that you are not at ease in the camp, you can take my warrant before leaving, and go to the public treasury to get more food and wine. ”
"Order." Wu Gan was elated and responded again and again.
Although the barren mound ridge is ugly, it is better to let yourself be the master, than to be supported here.
Xing rushed out of the door, took Zhang Yuan's warrant, and directly found the new treasurer. The man was quite talkative, and according to the warrant, he found a few people to load the things into the car.
Looking at the cart full of things, Wu Yan smiled happily and urged the car to leave the camp on the same day.
The sky is full of snowflakes, and the distant mountains and near the water are covered in silver.
Away from the cage and returning to nature, Wu Gen is naturally in a good mood. Frequently urging the horses, rushing towards the barren mound ridge.
Seeing the beacon standing on the top of the mountain from afar, like a sentry, my heart was even more happy, and I shouted to the mountains, "The lord of this village has returned, and the sons and daughters have not yet taken the drive." ”
humming a tune all the way, swaying back to the front of the small courtyard, jumping out of the car and about to enter the door, Wu Gan suddenly stopped.
In front of the courtyard gate, there were several large shallow footprints on the snow, apparently by someone wearing clogs.
Yi Moxin's temperament, in such a cold weather, walking out of the house is equivalent to asking for his old life, and he will definitely not go out of the yard.
Quietly, Wu Yan avoided his trap and pulled the car into the yard. The courtyard was silent, not even the snow had been swept away.
Pushing the door into the house, Mo Xin was lying on the bed snoring like thunder.
stepped forward and patted it gently, Mo Xin opened his sleepy eyes, and his face was mixed with sadness and joy, "Brother, you're back." This hellish place, as soon as the night falls, I panic, sleepless nights, I only dare to squint for a while during the day. As he spoke, two lines of turbid tears rolled down.
After scanning the surroundings and finding no abnormality, Wu Yan lowered his voice and said, "Brother has really worked hard, have I seen anyone here these days." ”
Mo Xin was stunned for a moment, crossed Wu Gan's shoulder, and glanced at it a little nervously, "At first glance, but what clues have you found." These days, the yard is very quiet, and not even a bird has fallen. Could it be that you saw it......" he said, gesturing to the ground.
"No, it's a living person, with footprints. Let me think that the time should be today, otherwise the snow would have covered its imprint. Wu Yan hesitated for a moment, and then his face was solemn again.
"Great Xia Kingdom?" Mo Xin said tentatively.
"It's hard to say, but there's only one person in his tracks."
"Did him?" Mo Xin's hand slashed down fiercely, and the cold light flashed in his triangular eyes. Since it is a living person, it is easy to do, and there are hundreds of ways to deal with it.
Wu Yan learned Wu Lonely and touched the beard that did not exist in his chin, "According to the owner of this village, this person dares to cross the barren mound ridge alone, and he is also a person with some ability." It's not what the two of us are good at, but it's better to be like this......."
At night, Wu Gen and Mo Xin sat in the room. The two scalded a hot pot, and with the wine and food brought back by Wu Gan, they pushed each other's cups and changed lamps until midnight.
For three days, the two of them hid in the house and had a drink, completely oblivious to the movement outside.
Outside the Arazuka Ridge, a fat and strong young man was climbing up the mountain road. The young man wore a hat on his head, stepped on wide clogs, and carried a heavy bag of things on his back.
The terrain of the Arazuka Ridge is very dangerous, and there are continuous mountains on both sides, like two arms stretching out. There is only a narrow and winding pass in the middle, which can only accommodate one person and one horse. The Beacon of Arazuka Ridge is located above the pass, like an iron lock firmly locking the path of the people and horses.
The young man struggled to climb to the top of the hill and glanced vigilantly in the direction of the small courtyard, where the lights flickered, and two figures landed on the window paper. Seeing that the hour was still early, the young man climbed behind a rock and hid.
Judging from the situation of stepping on the points in the past two days, the two cowards in the courtyard drank and recreational every day at night until midnight.
Once he fell asleep, he didn't care if the sky fell, which made the young man despise the two. The border army of Zhao State is so erosive, no wonder it always eats defeat, it should be.
The young man paid close attention to the movements in the courtyard viciously, just waiting for the two of them to fall asleep, so that they could turn over the pass, and this trip would definitely make a lot of money.
Finally, the candle flickered a few times, and the room went dark.
The young man sneered and swaggered out, ready to climb the beacon.
When he passed by the courtyard, he touched his stomach and cursed in his heart that he was hungry all day long, but the two people in the courtyard were drinking and drinking, which was really hateful.
When I passed by the first few times, I was still afraid in my heart, and I was far away from the courtyard, for fear of disturbing the people in the courtyard. Judging from the situation in the past few days, these two people will never go out as soon as they get into the night.
In indignation, he put down the bag of private salt on his back, and the young cat bent his waist and touched the courtyard wall, he might as well go in today to get some benefits.
When it was only about 20 steps away from the courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was clearly visible by the night light, and there was still no movement in the courtyard. A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, pondering where to climb into the courtyard wall.
Suddenly, the young man's eyes went dark, and the ground under his feet collapsed, and he fell into a large pit several feet deep.
It's not good, there are traps, the young man secretly screams that it's not good, and after landing, a donkey rolls to alleviate the fall.
Oops, the young man let out a low scream, and the place where his body landed was covered with sharp weapons such as thistles and spikes, and his body was suddenly drenched in blood.
These two dog compartment armies actually laid out such indiscriminate means.
The young man didn't dare to exhale pain, regardless of the injuries on his body, he used one foot to fly to one side, and the other foot kicked the pit wall, and he jumped out of the pit in three or two strokes, which shows that the effort under his hands is not low.
As soon as he showed his head, he only heard the sound of whirring wind in his ears, and a big stick came to him. With a bang, the young man's face was firmly in close contact with the big stick, and his body turned around and fell back into the pit.
Falling on the sharp object again, seeing that it had been discovered, the young man couldn't help but scream miserably. I only heard an old voice above laughing: "Shi Shen'er, you really have you, I have been watching for three nights, and finally waited for this guy, didn't you ask for half a life for this stick." ”
Another listened to the young voice and reminded: "Old Mo, don't be careless, this person is a practitioner, I am afraid that this stick will be difficult to subdue, be careful of the opponent's counterattack." ”
The young man at the bottom of the pit was already furious at this time, ripped off an iron thistle terrestris in his hand, and said loudly and angrily: "You are despicable, you have the ability to let grandpa go up and fight alone." The dignified army is even worse than bandits. ”
The old man's hoarse voice came again, "Your Excellency is really like a god, I'm sorry, there is a bandit here, and he is the one who beat the stick." If you are looking for revenge, it has nothing to do with the old man. ”
"Be careful." With the young voice at the top of the pit, countless sharp objects flew out. Immediately afterwards, the young man at the bottom of the pit also jumped out of this vacancy.
As soon as he fell to the ground, the young man glanced at him, turned around and threw himself at the man holding the club. With a punch, the tiger was vigorous, and it can be said that he used enough strength to kill the person who beat him on the spot.
The man named Shi Shen'er was also cunning, and when he saw that he pounced, the long stick swept his power and blocked it, but his body shot in the direction of the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, he was ten paces away.
The young man shouted loudly: "Little thief, don't go, if I don't peel off your skin today, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." "Knock the long stick into the air, and stride forward in hot pursuit.
But after running five steps, the young man's feet went soft, the ground cracked, and he fell into another deep pit again. There were no sharp weapons in this pit, but the young man screamed miserably as soon as he fell up. It turned out that a thick layer of quicklime was sprinkled in this pit, and the young man had many wounds on his body, and when he touched the lime, it hurt like fire.
"Old Mo, up." At the top of the pit, a young voice shouted again.
"Gotcha. Boy, let you taste the beauty of changing clothes. The old man shouted excitedly, and casually threw a paper bag into the pit.
The young man's eyes were fascinated by lime, and he vaguely saw something coming straight to him, and when he stretched out his hand to block it, the paper bag shattered, and a white mist dispersed and fell on him.
Could it be that it was lime again, and the young man was extremely resentful, and this old and young envoy was all pickled tricks, causing him to fall into the trap twice.
And the other party is as slippery as a monkey, never confronts himself, and can't use all his means, which is really infuriating. This time, I am fighting to get some more injuries, and I want to take down the two of them.
Just as he was about to jump out again, the young man suddenly felt itchy and painful on his body. When itchy, it is like thousands of ants attached, and when it hurts, it is like thousands of steel needles entering the body. Especially the leather jacket on the body, the slightest movement, the friction of the skin and flesh is unbearable.
It's broken, I don't know what kind of evil medicine the old man threw just now, no wonder he asked the beauty to change her clothes, and her clothes must have been stained. In the midst of the pain, the young man had to take off his clothes, and he did not even leave any underwear.
The old man saw the embarrassment of the young man, and he was overjoyed, "What a beautiful woman changing clothes, Wu Gan, you really have a lot of evil plays, look at the fat man in this pit, actually learn from that woman, Fu powder and grease, I don't know which family has this glamorous blessing, but you can receive such a strange goods." ”
At this time, the young man's body was covered with lime, and his face was stained with blood, which was really like Fu powder smeared with grease.
The two laughed on the pit, mocking to the fullest.
The young man in the pit was so angry that he could hardly come up in one breath, he had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life, coupled with the pain in his body, he roared, only to see that his eyes were red, his face was hideous, and his body was steaming, as if he was evil in the world.
There were two muffled bangs, and two more arms stretched out from the young man's back, and his fingers rattled.
"You are dead, force me to use a stunt, don't drink blood and eat meat from the two of you, my treasure elephant swears not to be a human being." The young man stood at the bottom of the pit and said word by word.
The body fell down, and the feet kicked hard, the whole body trembled, and the feet fell more than a foot. The huge body jumped high and jumped directly out of the trap.
Outside the pit, Wu Gan and Mo Xin's laughter stopped abruptly, and they looked up at the young man in the air blankly.
"Monsters." Mo Xin's frightened legs trembled, and he forgot to escape.
"Run." Wu Jian shouted and took the lead in running towards the courtyard. Mo Xin finally reacted, crying dad and calling his mother, and crawling in the opposite direction.
With a slight glimpse in the air, the young man did not hesitate at all, twisted his waist and chased in the direction of Wu Gan.
It can also be seen from the side that this young boy is the mastermind, and he has all the bad ideas, and if he is not caught, I am afraid that there will be waves again.
The young man fell like a giant eagle and reached out to grab at the other. As soon as his hand grabbed his coat, he saw that the kid's body shrank, and he actually made a golden cicada out of his shell, took off the outer leather coat, rolled on the spot, and arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
"Look." Wu Yan threw his hand back, and a round thing flew towards the young man.
Fang had suffered a big loss in the pit, for fear that it would be something poisonous, so the young man hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, not daring to contact it. But then, the second and third flew over.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen hidden weapons flew over, dodging left and right, and the young man was gradually forced to move away. Finally, the young man couldn't help but reach out and grab a hidden weapon, only to find that it was just an ordinary stone in his hand.
"Bastard, dare to trick me." A handful of crushed the stones in his hand, the young man was extremely corrupt, no longer dodging, facing the stone rain in the sky, enduring the pain on his body, and running straight towards the courtyard gate.
But as soon as he had run two steps, a stone slammed into the door and exploded, and a sweet smell of smoke hung over the young man's head.
I sniffed it, only to feel dull in my chest and dizzy. Not good, it's tricked again, this time it's real poison. Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, the young man held his breath and rushed forward, just wanting to catch his opponent before he passed out.
Wu Yan stretched out his hand and touched the head of the stone lion at the door, and shouted, "Open." ”
I saw that the young man who had just run to the door stumbled, and a trap appeared under his feet, and he fell straight down.
It's just three things.
Is there any morality in the rivers and lakes, is there any half of character, the same method has been used three times. What's even more tragic is that he fell into the trap three times. How the pig died, stupidly died. The young man felt a little sad in his heart, his thoughts were chaotic, and he fell heavily into the pit.
Seeing that the other party had fallen into the trap, Wu Gan pulled his hand on the door knocker, and a big net fell, covering the young man.
The net was made of wrist-thick thorns and soaked in tung oil for many days, making it quite tough. Don't say it's a human being, even if an elephant is covered, it's hard to get out.
Mo Xin, who didn't know when he ran back, stood on the edge of the pit, only to feel that the root of his teeth hurt, this chain set up by Wu Geng was really vicious, and it was impossible to prevent it. Mo secretly decided in confidence that he would never go against Wu Gan, otherwise he would not know how to die in the future.
After struggling a few times, the young man's eyes gradually darkened, and he couldn't lift up a trace of strength.
"Old Mo, don't stand and look, pour water." Wu Yan had already run out of the gatehouse, carrying a bucket of prepared water, and fell into the pit in a hurry.
"Huh? Eh, you're too immoral. Although he was scolding, Mo Xin had already hurried to the gatehouse, and a jar of water had already been prepared inside. In order to prevent freezing, a stove was built.
A tank of water went down, and a thick layer of ice formed on the young man's body. In such a cold winter, it soon became a large ice mound.
Seeing that the other party no longer resisted, Wu Gen and Mo Xin carefully pulled the young man out of the pit and tied the ice belt to the locust tree in the courtyard.
