Chapter 3: Ambush

On this day, Su Mingnan took Su Jiulin to the boundary of Dale Township, and there were more than forty miles to Chongqing City.

Su Mingnan was riding a horse, and suddenly saw a tea house in front of him, and someone was resting and drinking tea.

"Lin'er, do you want to eat steamed buns?" Thinking that it was not far to go to Chongqing City, and the two of them hadn't eaten for a long time, Su Mingnan planned to eat something first before hurrying.

"Yes!" After leaving the valley, Su Jiulin fell in love with the buns outside, and bluntly said that the buns that Su Mingnan brought back to him before were different from those eaten outside, and said that Su Mingnan must have bought very cheap buns for him to eat.

Su Mingnan explained that the steamed buns will be hard when they are cold, and naturally they are not as delicious as they have just been steamed.

Although Su Jiulin is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable under the teaching of his grandfather and second master, he doesn't know much about these common senses of life.

The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, there is nothing in the valley, and her mother Chi Feiyan is also impossible to teach.

"Pilot!" Su Mingnan stopped the horse, tied the horse to the tree next to the tea house, and then asked for a pot of tea, four steamed buns and three steamed buns.

After sitting upright, Su Mingnan realized that these people on the side did not seem to be simple.

Although they are all dressed as villagers, there are no patches on their clothes. And they only bowed their heads to drink tea and didn't speak, which was very strange.

"Boss, I suddenly remembered that there was still something important to do, so I didn't want the buns." As he spoke, Su Mingnan stood up and pulled Su Jiulin to leave.

The boss of the tea house didn't speak, but the person sitting at the table behind Su Jiulin with his back to them spoke softly: "That's not good..."

"I've been waiting for you for so long, and I want to leave without leaving anything behind?" When he turned around, it was a face with a clear and straight eyebrow.

In an instant, more than a dozen people around took out their weapons from under the table and surrounded Su Jiulin and the others. The horses were also let go.

"Fan Tong!" Su Mingnan recognized this person at a glance, it was the second gear head of the East Factory, Fan Tong!

Su Mingnan looked at the few people around him, he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence, he thought that it should be a trick, and then asked, "Is it the news that your third brother is in Chongqing City?" ”

"Yes." Fan Tong nodded.

"Several other important roads in and out of Chongqing Prefecture should also be guarded by people from Dongchang, right?"

"It's not." Fan Tong smiled slightly, "Dongchang only guards this way, and the other roads are Tianyuanmen doing things." ”

"Originally, a little minion like you didn't need our family to take action, but King Ning was cautious. It's your luck to meet me! Fan Tong said as he played with his hair.

Su Mingnan suddenly understood that he had really fallen for the trick! But at the same time, he can also be sure that his third brother Su Mingfeng is definitely exposed! Otherwise, why would Dongchang only release Su Mingfeng's news instead of other people's news.

"Master Fan, I can go with you." Su Mingnan saw that Fan knew that today was more than auspicious, and as he spoke, he looked at Su Jiulin again, "This son is the righteous son I just adopted on the road, and he has nothing to do with it, can you ask Lord Fan's subordinates to be merciful?" ”

Hearing this, Su Jiulin also turned his head to look at Su Mingnan, he knew that Su Mingnan must have met a bad guy who couldn't be solved.

"Good. Put the kid aside. Fan Tong made a look, and the two people around him stepped forward cautiously with the knife, but their hands were always on the hilt.

Su Mingnan had already seen the clue and knew that Fan Tong didn't want the two of them to leave alive.

When the two of them were about to get closer, they saw Su Mingnan first pull Su Jiulin behind him, and then turned around and took out the long sword on his waist and slashed the two of them with a sword.

Seeing this, the others attacked the two with knives.

Su Mingnan parried while protecting Su Jiulin behind him.

At this time, Fan Tong cast a strange look. Fan Tong had also seen Su Mingnan many times when he was an official in the same dynasty before, and knew that he was a civil official, and no one in the Su family knew martial arts. Seeing that he was able to withstand the siege of so many people now also surprised Fan Tong.

Seeing that so many people couldn't help Su Mingnan for a while, Fan Tong lost his patience, and then took out a long knife and stepped forward, wanting to solve it himself.

Su Mingnan did not know martial arts, but after the Su family suffered, he learned some martial arts when he went out.

During the fight, he caught a glimpse of Fan Tong actually stepping forward, Su Mingnan knew that he was by no means his opponent, and a roll protected Su Jiulin behind him, and then immediately grabbed it from his arms, and then threw it forward.

It's lime powder!

Fan Tong and the others couldn't open their eyes in an instant, and hurriedly slapped the lime powder around their eyes with their hands.

Su Mingnan did not hesitate, and hurriedly pulled Su Jiulin into the woods behind the tea house.

"Lin'er!" Su Mingnan bent down and looked at Su Jiulin, "Let's run separately, you run into the forest, and we will meet in Shiyang Town in the north!" ”

At this time, Su Mingnan's face and body were covered with blood, his clothes were in tatters, and the entire sleeve of his right hand had been cut off, revealing his bloody right hand.

After speaking, without waiting for Su Jiulin to think about it, Su Mingnan ran out of the woods again.

When Su Jiulin reacted and wanted to stop Su Mingnan again, Fan Tong and the others had already chased after him and surrounded Su Mingnan. Su Jiulin hurriedly squatted down and hid in the grass.

Looking at the past again, every time Fan Tong made a move, Su Mingnan fell to the ground once, and at the same time, there would be an extra cut on his body.

The difference in strength is too great, and Su Mingnan has no power to fight back at all!

Su Jiulin was still watching secretly, although he knew very well that it would not make a difference if he stayed, he still couldn't bear to leave.

Just when he was in a hurry, he saw Su Mingnan throw out another handful of lime powder, and then immediately got up and ran in the opposite direction to Su Jiulin.

This time there was less lime powder than the previous one, and Fan and the group did not stand together this time.

Fan Tong had already taken precautions, and blocked his eyes when Su Mingnan threw out the lime powder again. After a slight slap, he followed.

It didn't take long for others to follow suit.

Seeing that Su Mingnan was so seriously injured, Fan and the others chased after him again, and Su Jiulin stood up in a hurry. But I didn't think that there was still a person who cleaned up the lime powder on his face and walked out of the tea house, and saw him!

Su Jiulin's eyes widened, he felt bad, turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest!

And the person who had just walked out of the tea house had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was a birthmark on his face, which also showed that he was the young man who was with Su Mingnan just now. Seeing that Su Jiulin ran into the depths of the forest, he also chased into the depths of the forest.

Su Jiulin was running in front, and the birthmark man was chasing behind.

Fortunately, the birthmark man is not as flexible as Su Jiulin, and the woods are full of thorns, with many branches, and the birthmark man who is tall and tall either touches the thorn or hits the trunk of the tree, and he can't get close to Su Jiulin.

Although Su Jiulin grew up in the valley since he was a child, and he was accompanied by the woods, the little forest in the small valley was really insignificant compared to the woods in front of him. The two of them had been chasing for half an hour, but they hadn't run out of the forest yet.

At this time, if you look at the birthmark man, he is about to become a scarred man. But Su Jiulin was also scratched in many places.

Although the birthmark man hit a wall everywhere, he still followed, and Su Jiulin's physical strength was almost unsupportable, and he knew very well that he would still be caught up if he continued like this.

If you want to talk about perseverance, Su Jiulin really admires the birthmark man.

At this point, the two of them seemed to have run into a mountain range somewhere, and the terrain became steeper.

Suddenly, Su Jiulin saw that the forest in front of him was extremely dense and leafy, so he came up with an idea.

I saw that after he ran to this dense forest, he first ran forward for a distance, and then turned back to this dense forest, stood beside a big tree, and climbed up in two or three strokes. Then he hid in the dense foliage and peeked at the movement below.

After a while, the birthmark man ran from under Su Jiulin's nose. Su Jiulin was still panting on the tree, not daring to come down.

After a while, the birthmark man ran back and ran in other directions.

It wasn't until more than half an hour had passed that there was still no movement, and Su Jiulin, who had finished resting, cautiously climbed down while observing.

By this time it was getting dark. According to the direction of the sunset, Su Jiulin distinguished the north, and began to rush north.

Before I knew it, the stars and the moon came out, and the night in the forest was much colder in an instant.

Su Jiulin's scraped and tattered clothes couldn't withstand the chill of the forest at night, and he couldn't walk, but now he was even more trembling.

More than an hour has passed, and Su Jiulin has not yet walked out of the forest. Now he seems to be so difficult every step he takes.

Suddenly, Su Jiulin rushed forward as if he had been beaten. Looking in his direction, there were many fruit trees!

When Su Jiulin ran closer, he found that he hadn't eaten it.

"Can you eat it? What kind of fruit are these? Is it poisonous? Su Jiulin muttered in his heart.

"Goo-Goo......

But at this time, Su Jiulin's stomach also screamed.

Looking around, there are endless trees, and I don't know when I will be able to get out of this forest.

Thinking of this, Su Jiulin no longer hesitated, climbed the fruit tree, and began to eat wild fruits. If you want to go out, you have to fill your stomach first, anyway, Su Jiulin thinks so.

After eating seven or eight fruits in one go, Su Jiulin, who was resting next to the fruit tree, actually fell asleep. He's really tired, he's grown so big, he's never been so tired.

"Whew......"

With a long roar, Su Jiulin woke up instantly, stood up in a moment, and then climbed the fruit tree against his back without thinking about turning around.

A wolf cry broke the silence of the woods, and the occasional dark shadow began to shuttle through the forest, and it was impossible to see what animal it was.

Su Jiulin grew up in the valley since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the sounds of wolves, tigers and other beasts from the mountains to the valley.

Su Jiulin's parents also often mentioned the ferocity of wild beasts, and taught them to use torches to drive away wolves or climb trees if they came.

Of course, Su Jiulin did not have a torch at this time.

"Why is this wolf barking so close?!" In the cold night, Su Jiulin was scared out of a cold sweat.

After this fright, Su Jiulin didn't dare to sleep anymore, and it was impossible to hurry. After thinking about it, Su Jiulin decided to stay in the tree until dawn before leaving.

Su Jiulin, who was sitting on the tree, looked at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but think of Su Mingnan.

"I don't know how Uncle Nan is now. Uncle Nan, you can't be fine! ”

Su Jiulin understood that if Su Mingnan hadn't led everyone away at the last moment, he would never have been able to escape.
