Chapter 10: The Falling River
"I have, but I won't give it to you." Wu Gan's face showed a look of panic, and he tightly protected his burden.
The strong man was a little angry, and said with a cruel smile, "Boy, you are not a fool, and you can't lie." It seems that if you don't give some hardship, you don't know how powerful the master is. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Gan's front placket, and the big fist of the sand bowl rushed straight to the door.
"Hey, hey." Wu Yan smiled with his teeth, and the original wooden Ne disappeared. I've been in Gale Village for a long time, and I haven't seen any kind of wicked person. Even in the village, this kind of brainless man can only be a gatekeeper.
See each other together, you live and die.
Raising one arm to protect his head, Wu Gan rushed forward, bent one leg, and slammed his knee under the man's step.
A few times in and out of the ghost, several times to death, the means sharpened out are not covered. Now the shot is a killing skill, and you can knock down the other party with one move, and you will never have one more hand.
The man didn't expect this young man who looked a little thin to make a move, and as soon as he made a move, he was caught off guard, and the two of them collided together.
"Whew......" A miserable cry that did not resemble a human voice came out.
The man covered his crotch with his hands, his body twisted into the shape of a prawn, and he fell to the ground with painful convulsions.
Wu Gen was unmoved, his face was calm, one hand turned into a palm, and a hand knife was plunged directly into the man's throat.
When the evil is eradicated, the beating must be killed.
Ah, the big man was cut off in one breath, his eyes were dark, he fainted, and he collapsed on the ground softly, and his body twitched twice from time to time.
The surroundings became quieter, and everyone looked at Wu Gan, who had nothing to do, in amazement, and they all clamped their legs tighter.
This young man, who seems harmless to humans and animals at first glance, is so vicious in his moves, and his moves are all aimed at destroying his opponent.
Seeing the man falling, Wu Gen slowly took out a dough cake, pulled it off little by little and put it in his mouth. Every bite you eat, you have to chew it carefully, and even lick your fingers cleanly, as if you are tasting the essence of dragon liver.
Sun Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he never thought that this so-called Wu Chang would make such a ...... There are some suspicions that today's overtures are in the wrong place.
In the crowded tent, there was no one in front of them.
After eating half of the cake, Wu Yan put away the rest with satisfaction, and gave a knife to the strong man next to him who had just woken up and was about to struggle to get up, and the other party's eyes rolled and fainted again.
After eating, I just wanted to close my eyes and take a nap, but I struggled for a long time, and I always felt that something was wrong in my heart, and I was restless. His right hand unconsciously stretched out and touched the big man who fell to the ground.
"Smack." Wu Yan slapped his right hand, it turned out that he was guilty of touching the corpse, "They are all people who are the captains, and the dog still can't change the way to eat." He muttered a few words, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep. The future of this trip is dangerous, so it is better to take advantage of the stability of this place and recuperate.
But leaning on the pillars of the tent, he couldn't sleep.
"Well, one last time." Wu Gan's eyes glowed green, like a hungry wolf. Moved to Dahan's side and groped carefully. After searching for a long time, except for some weapons and the like, I only found seven or eight taels of silver.
"Poor ghost." Wu Yan spat and slapped the man's head heavily with the broken scabbard. And he took off his garments, and bound his hands and his feet to death. In this way, my mind finally settled down, and I quickly fell asleep.
Sun Hong, who was beside him, was speechless, and secretly decided that if Wu Yan asked him for money, he should offer it with both hands, so as not to suffer this humiliation.
There was no word all night, and early the next morning, the people who came to report finally arrived.
A soldier wearing a military crown walked in, which was the sign of a sharp cavalry in the army. The man stood at the door of the tent with a whip and shouted for the people to go.
The Willow Tree Set does not provide meals, and all the people who participate in the trial bring their own food. In fact, the trial has already begun here.
The soldier glanced at the big man who fell to the ground and was tied up, glanced around, and his gaze stayed on the bored Wu Gan, "Dead and alive?" ”
Wu Gen hurriedly laughed and said, "Alive, alive." Just as he wanted to explain the reason, the soldier snorted and turned away.
Wu Jian was a little confused, could it be that he implied that he would kill the big man. After thinking about it, he pulled out the broken knife and looked at the big man viciously.
Dahan had already woken up at this time, but because his mouth was gagged, he couldn't speak, his mouth was whining, and his eyes showed a look of pleading.
"There's no money to kill, forget it, the captain of this army has the virtue of a good life, let's spare your life for the time being." Wu Gan muttered to himself.
The big man whined a few times, and his face was full of approval.
"However, Captain Ben still has a few words to tell you. Being a robber is also a handicraft, so you must be sharp-eyed and ruthless, and don't act rashly and recklessly like you.
There is still a long way to go, when you think hard and study hard, live to learn from the old, don't disgrace the name of the grandfather. Wu Yan squatted beside the big man, speaking earnestly and earnestly.
Dahan hurriedly nodded again and again, looking at this situation, if it wasn't for his body, he was afraid that he would jump up and kowtow a few times to worship the teacher.
Seeing that the other party had become enlightened, Wu Yan patted him on the shoulder, tore off the cloth in his mouth, and turned away with relief.
When he saw his figure disappear, the big man breathed a sigh of relief, "The bird who kills a thousand knives is still a box army, and he is more a bandit than a real bandit." ”
Wu Gen and Sun Hong followed the flow of people to the stable and went to fetch their mounts.
Walking to the side of the mount, Wu Yan frowned, looked around the horse, and stopped.
Sun Hong, who was on the side, was about to get on the horse, but was stopped by Wu Gan.
Wu Yan reached out and rummaged under the saddle of the two, and soon two small thistles were taken out.
This thistle terrestris is hard embedded in the saddle and is hidden quite secretly.
With this thing under the saddle, the horse will not feel anything at first, but after riding for a long time, the road will be bumpy, and the spikes will stick out, stabbing the horse's back, and the horse may be startled under the pain. In a dense queue, the consequences can be imagined, and the rider can be seriously injured if he is not trampled to death.
Sun Hong gasped and turned his head to look around, trying to find out who had done this.
Wu Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Forget it, this trial is mixed, and the person who started it has already left, as long as you are careful." ”
The two of them turned over and followed the flow of people, only to realize that there were so many people who had participated in the trial. There were hundreds of people as far as the eye could see, and I heard that some of them had arrived from another assembly area. There were so many people, but they were only escorted by a dozen soldiers in armor.
Looking at the rolling flow of people, Sun Hong was worried. Wu Yan drove the horse closer to him, and gently patted Sun Hong on the shoulder, "With the chief of Benwu, rest assured, five taels of silver are not taken for nothing." ”
All the way on, a whole day, only one break on the way. Along the way, from time to time, some people were frightened, and some people fainted and fell on their horses inexplicably, which can be described as full of situations.
The escorting soldiers turned a deaf ear to this, and as long as there was no commotion, they didn't bother to pay attention to it.
At dusk, the people arrived at a great river crossing, where many people were already resting, thinking that they would be tested on another journey.
Standing on the bank of the big river, the river is surging and surging, and the water is extremely sky. One by one, the waves, like thirsty and angry, roared away with thunder and lightning all the way. On such a cold winter day, the river did not freeze.
Growing so big, it was the first time for Wu Gan to see such an unruly current, and under the dazzle, the hairs on his body stood up, and his body gradually stiffened and became tense. The meaning is not urgent, his eyes are as mixed as wind and snow, and his mouth is murmuring.
After a long time, everyone had dismounted and rested, and Wu Gan's eyes gradually became clearer, "I see, I see." ”
Sun Hong glanced at the big river, and then at Wu Gan, who was intoxicated, and didn't know why, "Brother Wu, what's wrong with this river." ”
Wu Gan's face had returned to normal, and he didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Is this river famous?" ”
Sun Hong hurriedly replied, "I heard my father say that this river is the largest river in Zhao Kingdom. ”
"Good name, good name." Wu Yan clasped his palms and laughed, turned around and headed towards the ferry, leaving only Sun Hong with an ignorant face.
Since the knife was broken, Wu Gan has been thinking about what kind of knife technique to use these days. I have also encountered a person who wields a knife in the ghost, but after all, he borrowed the body of someone else, and the knife skills used were not enough for him.
On this day, I was overjoyed to see the surging tide of the surging river and move forward, and I suddenly gained something in my heart. Such an epiphany is extremely rare on weekdays, so I quickly found a secluded place to savor the trace of knife intent.
The crowd rested all night at the ferry, and by dawn there were five large boats at the ferry.
The stewards gave each of them a number plate, and Wu Gan's number plate was number 830, and he was assigned to the fourth boat, and Sun Hong was also on this boat, but the other five servants who came with him were assigned to the fifth boat.
There are already a lot of people standing on the ship, all of whom are people who have tried to die. But people kept coming up to the boat, and finally the people on the boat were so dense that they could only stand, and it was a little difficult to even squat.
Wu Geng's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly casual, but his eyes looked around intentionally or unintentionally, silently counting in his heart.
One, two, three...... The group of people in front of him, although they did not communicate with each other, but among them was a handsome young man dressed in white, as long as he moved, the people around him would also move naturally, obviously in a group, and the man in white was the leader.
In this way, Wu Gen counted and counted, and found more than a dozen large and small gangs around him alone. These people have obviously been informed a long time ago, and they have a better chance of passing the selection if they partner with each other.
Those who participated in the trial had to fight each other to the death when they got off the boat, and a tense atmosphere spread through the crowd.
When they arrived, one of the soldiers said viciously that they were not allowed to destroy the ship's things, so they went into the cabin and closed the door firmly.
The waves whistled past the ship with the wind, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the deck, and frost was on everyone's hair buns and beards.
The boat moved slowly and left the ferry, and the scenery on both sides retreated.
Wu Yan lay on the side of the boat, his vision running through the mountains and wilderness like a horse. The ice and snow between the heavens and the earth are drifting, and everything is jade and silver. Such magnificent mountains and rivers, when can they gallop freely in them.
Although the weather is cold and the water is cold, the body is steaming, and the consciousness is constantly running, and I don't feel the cold at all.
was immersed in the snow, and there was a noise behind him, and Sun Hong carefully pulled his clothes.
Turning his head in surprise, a young man had a quarrel with the young man in white. It turned out that the young man was disgusted by the wind and wanted to sit on the ground to avoid the limelight, but there were already many people on the boat, and only the young man in white had some vacancy next to him.
Since he got on the boat, the young man in white has been meditating and occupying a large space.
As soon as the young man knelt down, he was stopped by a bald man next to him, and when he was angry, the young man argued with him. The young man is always strong-blooded, and when he saw that the other party ignored him, he raised the knife in his hand in a fit of anger.
To the surprise of the people around him, the bald man's hand stretched out like lightning, grabbed the young man's neck, crushed his throat bone with a click, and gently patted his heart with the other hand.
The young man's face was flushed, black blood flowed from his seven orifices, but he couldn't make a sound from his mouth. His body went limp, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
The strong man smiled fiercely, threw it hard, and the young man flew high and landed overboard, rolled in the river a few times, and then disappeared.
Everyone fell silent at once, stunned by the sudden turn of events.
This bald head shot too ruthlessly, I originally thought that there would be a life and death on the way to death, but I didn't expect to start doing it on the way.
The white-clothed young man sitting on the ground didn't move, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The person in charge of the ship naturally knows what is happening outside, but as long as he doesn't break the things on the ship, he is naturally lazy to act.
Since you have embarked on this path, you must have the consciousness of death.
This is the first place to do it, and it is only natural that some people will follow suit. Gradually, such tragic events happened everywhere on the ship. The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and they were worried that the people around them would break out.
Sun Hong trembled, his teeth chattered, although he was also a commoner, but since he was a child, he had never encountered such a thing.
Wu Yan leaned closer to him and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife. The owner of this village is a trustworthy person, and since he has received the money, he must protect it.
The people on these boats, if they meet him on weekdays, are also polite gentlemen, and no matter how bad they are, they are strangers who take care of each other. At this time, on this small ship, the evil of human nature was released, and the ship became a human Shura field.
Finally, seeing the sharp increase in casualties, a black-faced officer led people to stand up and took down the two people who were fighting and killed them on the spot, "If you dare to make trouble, it's just like that." A group of dog-like things, if the boat capsizes due to a private fight, it will not be enough to destroy your ten clans. ”
After this bullet pressure, the ship finally fell silent, and no more tragedy happened.
One day of sailing, a barren mountain range appeared in front of them. At this time, the people on the ship were already like ice sculptures, covered with a layer of ice armor.
The boat slowly approached the shore, and a group of soldiers came out of the cabin, took a stick, and struck the iceman, "Are you still alive, if you are alive, get off the boat." ”
One after another, people got up, got up from the deck, and stumbled out. Wu Yan rubbed his face vigorously, pulled up Sun Hong, who was already frozen beside him, and walked out on the creaking ice.
When he stepped off the boat, Wu Jian looked back and saw that some people could no longer get up and had frozen to death on the boat.
How difficult it is to break through the shackles of the class, every Shu person climbs to the middle person, and I don't know how many tired corpses and bones are behind him.
