Chapter 60: Into the Bandits' Den
The winter wind blows dust, and the chickadees are frightened. Two figures swept through the air, appearing particularly abrupt in the mortal realm, attracting countless animals to stop and look.
The groundhog ran hard and had a high-pitched voice: "Help! Someone's killed, Ling Nai, where are you-"
"Ling Nai?" Su Jingtang stopped in mid-air, looked back, her long hair was attached to her ear, covering half of her face, and a pair of clear and watery eyes were particularly conspicuous.
Wen Xun also stopped, looked at the groundhog condescendingly, and raised his finger. The groundhog took off on the spot, pulled his legs in the air, and found himself uncontrollable for a long time, and let out an "ah" scream: "Fly!" ”
Facing Wen Xun's eyes, the groundhog screamed even worse: "Ahhh
"Shut up." Wen Xun's words were concise, and the groundhog obediently shut up, "Where is Ling Nai?" ”
"Huh?" The groundhog tilted his head, pointed at him, and then at the woods.
"Talk about it."
The groundhog drooped his head aggrievedly: "Ling Nai didn't know where it was, I helped him find the bad guys, followed him all the way here, and happened to meet Nan Zhutou, I wanted to tell her where the bad guys were hiding, but she was caught by the bad guys." It was suddenly startled, and danced with its hands, "I'm looking for Ling Nai, Nan Zhutou has been arrested!" Please leave me alone, my lord! ”
"Bad guys? The thief? Su Jingtang was puzzled.
Wen Xun threw the groundhog forward: "Lead the way." ”
"Whoaaa

Most of the dilapidated villages are dilapidated and low-rise houses, except for a courtyard near the col, which looks like it has been newly built in recent years, and the lines on the wooden doors are all new.
Outside the courtyard there were two young men guarding the door, dressed in coarse linen clothes and holding wooden sticks, with expressionless faces and unsquinting eyes.
A light fell on the roof, turned into a white rabbit, looked up and sniffed, and then jumped off the high wall and ran to the wing.
After a while, a motley fox and a gray wolf came in from the dog hole next to the back door, two birds flew in the courtyard wall, and the vultures circled overhead, and they didn't know where to get down.
Su Jingtang and Wen Xun fell to the roof, and the marmot squatted next to them, pointing hard at the yard: "This is it!" ”
"There's a demonic aura, Ling Nai is inside?" Su Jingtang swept the white that swept through the courtyard.
"Grown-ups, save them." The groundhog tilted his head and bowed with both hands.
"Oh...... How to save? ”
"How, how to save ......" the groundhog was stunned, "find the southern catcher first?" ”
Su Jingtang felt out a piece of dried meat under the nervous gaze of the groundhog: "Well, you go and look for it, find it and tell us, and we will save it." After speaking, he stuffed the dried meat in his mouth.
The groundhog snorted, reluctantly looked away, and jumped off the roof.
In the wing room, Nan Xiutong's wrists and calves were tied, and he sat on the ground on his knees, his face was light and breezy, and his fingers behind him tried to hook the knots, and the two subordinates sat next to him, their faces were ugly.
The scar man squatted in front of Nan Xiutong, the dagger in his hand patted her cheek, with a fierce look on his face, and his voice was hoarse: "You are very bold and chased our territory." The youngest female catcher in Wu County, Xing Catcher's beloved apprentice, has something, but it's still a little worse. ”
"You know a lot." Nan Xiutong raised his eyes.
"I know a lot, you don't have the life to listen. It would not have been what it is today, but you brought it upon yourselves, and you had to die for the sake of the whole Tona. The scar man's dagger moved to the side of Nan Xiutong's neck, and Nan Xiutong tilted his head slightly and glanced at him.
His subordinates were sweating profusely, and they spoke nervously: "What are you a big man embarrassed by a girl's family?" Something is coming at us! ”
"The girl's family should stay at home, come out and catch the head, and blame the thief's men for being merciless?" The scar man pinched Nan Xiutong's chin, and the dagger broke through her skin.
She craned her neck and looked at him boldly: "Who said that a girl's family should stay at home?" If you want to kill or chop you, I was ready to die before I did the head catcher. ”
"I have the guts, but it's a pity that my heart is too right!" As soon as the scar man's voice fell, he picked up the dagger and thrust it into Nan Xiutong's neck.
"Sister Nan!" The men panicked.
"Bang dang!" A stone smashed on the door, and the dagger stopped at Nanxiutong's wound. She swallowed, blood spilling from the wound and a watery glint in her eyes.
"Who?" The scar man quickly turned around and opened the door, leaving him in a mess.
The ground was littered with wet soil and there was nowhere to put their feet, the branches of the bushes were broken, the foxes and wolves were jumping up and down, and several men rushed in from outside, scratching their faces and scolding, and the birds swooped down, pecking at the men's heads, and they could not catch anything with their hands and feet.
"What are you doing?" The scar man scolded.
The strong man was annoyed: "These animals don't know where they came in, and they can't get out of the yard by doing nonsense." ”
"A bunch of waste, not even a fox can catch it." The scar man picked up the dagger and threw it over, the fox quickly dodged, exploded at the scar man, bared his teeth, and the gray wolf pounced on the scar man without hesitation, revealing his fangs.
The scar dodged, and the fox went around his back and scratched his back with one paw, and he glanced at the gray wolf and ran out of the yard. The Scar Man was furious, "Grab them, peel and cramp!" ”
Running to the door, the scar man turned around and instructed the bandits: "You stay, the people who guard the yamen." The bandit nodded and walked to the door to stand guard.
In the closed door, a transparent figure appeared behind the screen, and when he came out of it, his subordinates were startled when they saw someone coming: "Ling ......"
"Shhhh......h Ling Nai. She whispered.
Ling Nai was dressed in white, with high black hair, a shallow smile on her white face, and she looked pure and well-behaved: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." He squatted down, and with a slight stroke of his fingers on Nan Xiutong's back, the rope was untied, and then he repeated his old trick and untied the two ropes that caught fast.
"Ling Nai, why are you here, or did you come out of the room?" ”
"I crawled in from the outside." Ling Nai said vaguely.
What else did he want to ask, Nan Xiutong slapped him on the back of the head: "Where are there so many questions, hurry up!" ”
The bandits guarding the door heard the sound, pushed the door open hard, and was about to shout, Ling Nai waved his sleeves, the bandit fell to the ground, and the catchers were shocked, as if they knew Ling Nai on the first day.
"Be careful." Ling Nai pulled Nan Xiutong's sleeve with a concerned expression, "There are a lot of people outside. Her heart was hot, and she replied in a low voice.
"Sister Nan, there are a few brothers who are locked up in other places, I don't know what happened...... my subordinates worried.
"Ling Nai, you take them away, and I'll go find Xiao Song and them." Nan Xiutong was protected by Ling Nai, a little helpless.
Ling Nai shook his head with a stubborn expression: "It's dangerous, you go, I'll look for it." ”
The two of them sighed again, they didn't expect Ling Nai, who is usually cowardly and bulliful, to have such a bold and brave side.
Nan Xiutong was not verbose, and ordered the two to catch quickly: "You go back to the yamen to move the rescue soldiers first, and Ling Nai and I will find the others." ”
The scolding outside was getting closer, and the scar man covered the back of his hand scratched by a vulture, walked over irritably, and collided with Nan Xiutong and others: "It's ...... to catch a few small animals."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Nan Xiutong pushed the two of them back: "Run!" Don't hesitate! ”
The scar man immediately pulled himself out of the incomprehensible questions such as "why are they here", "how did they escape", "why does it seem that there are more people", and shouted with a knife: "Come on, they are going to run away!" ”
