25. Crisis recurrence
Hengduan Sacred Mountain, since he has the word "god" in his name, then he should be honorable, compassionate, kind, and shelter and bless, but now it is not like this, noble gods, don't they have a trace of pity and preference for mortal suffering?
In a wooded open space in the mountains and forests, hundreds of children are resting on the ground, they either sit on the ground, or lie down and fall asleep, or a few of them are covered in a heap, one by one, because they have been in the mountains and forests for a long time, and have not eaten a little food, they are exhausted, if it is not for the strong desire to survive driven them, the group of children can immediately close their eyes and fall asleep.
Spearman Wei Lie, he also had a sad face, holding his Zhangba spear in one hand, and holding two relatively young children in the other hand, the child fell asleep in the crook of his strong arm, even if his hand was now sore and heavy, he still couldn't bear to put the child down, "Brother Xiao, it's not a way to go like this, these children are too tired, too bitter, they can't walk, hey..."
Hearing this, Captain Xiao put the four children in his arms lightly on the ground, and walked over quietly and quickly, "Old Lietou, I don't know, it's a long way to go to Bingzhou City, we can't get out of danger by walking, we can only delay, the longer the better, wait for our infantry to meet the army, and come to the rescue from the City Lord's Mansion as early as possible, Liu Shichang is our last hope!" ”
"This is also the case, there is a dense forest in this mountain, and the old man does not know how to explore the way, and he has not found a good shelter to hide these children in it." The old Cheng that Wei Lie said is Cheng Yurong, the crossbowman of the five veterans!
"Lao Cheng, I'm not too worried about exploring the road over there, it's good to find a place to hide, but if you can't find us, you can move forward slowly, I'm afraid that there will be worse news over there!" As he spoke, Centurion Xiao looked at the road they had just walked, revealing deep concern.
Wang Zhuoran, the knife and axe hand, is responsible for observing whether the chasing soldiers behind him are coming!
The pursuers want to chase them here, not to mention letting the children escape, or all of them may die here!
"Table Ran hasn't come back yet, eighty percent is that there is no news of the chasing soldiers, if the chasing soldiers are killed, Zhuo Ran will definitely rush back in advance," Xiao Baili, he is too tired, after all, he is already an old man of sixty and nine, even if he has an unyielding will to support him in his heart, he still feels very tired, he closed his eyes slightly, leaned against a tree and said.
"Brother Xiao, you take a nap first, I'll take care of these children, I'm only seven out of fifty, and I'm full of energy like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man!" Wei Lie couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Captain Xiao's pale and withered expression, turned his head and raised him high, he wanted to lock the tears in his eyes and prevent them from falling!
I secretly prayed in my heart: Brother, brother, looking at your appearance, I feel sorry for me to death!
Captain Xiao Baifu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is that Chu Ning, Lord Chu, I don't know what happened to him, whether he can escape, a person like him has a strong personality, even if he dies, he doesn't want to be captured, he is still so young, he is still a small child!" When it came to emotion, his lips trembled a little.
"It's really unbearable, he's too young, his life has just begun, but I think Lord Chu is a person with great luck, and he won't sacrifice this barren mountain in vain!" Wei Lie couldn't help but think of Chu Ning's calm and calm appearance, looking at the danger as if he was waiting for leisure!
Captain Xiao Baili and the five veterans of their brothers, even if they are thousands of miles away, fearless of life and death, but they take the life and death of others very seriously, and they are very worried, such a big-minded character has nothing to do with the level of cultivation, it is a will that runs through the nine heavens, which one is comparable to the pride of heaven in the world, even if Chu Ning is here, he has to perform the gift of a junior!
Centurion Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Here we are!"
Wei Lie clenched the spear in his hand tighter, "Who is here, Brother Xiao"?
A figure briskly strung out of the woods, Wei Lie fixed his eyes, first a big axe, and then a person walked out with a big axe, he was first happy, and then worried.
I was glad that my brother Zhuo Ran had nothing to do and returned safely, but I was worried that maybe the chasing soldiers had already chased after him, so I couldn't help asking, "Brother Zhuo Ran, what's wrong, are those demon sect demons chasing after you?"
Wang Zhuoran, the knife and axe hand, walked over with his exhaustion, looked at the group of children who were resting, his eyes were full of pity, and said, "Brother Xiao, old lietou, the chasing soldiers behind have not yet chased after me, I am worried that you will encounter a threat, so I will hurry up and come to take a look, you are fine," he said and touched the soft hair of a child.
"Zhuo Ran, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, we're also very worried about you," Centurion Xiao said and patted the dirt on Wang Zhuoran's armor.
"Brother Table Ran, you must be tired, come and eat something," Wei Lie said and took out half of an icy and hard steamed bun from his arms and handed it to Wang Zhuoran.
"Brother Xiao, old Lietou, have you eaten, have those children eaten?" Wang Zhuoran took the steamed bun in his hand and didn't eat it immediately, although he was already very hungry and hungry, and his head was a little faint from hunger, so he asked first,
Captain Xiao leaned against the tree again, no longer spoke, Wei Lie's eyes flashed, and said, "Brother Table Ran, didn't you see that this is a small half of the steamed bun, I have already eaten more than half of it, this small half of the steamed bun will be given to you," After saying that, he deliberately burped, in fact, what he got was only a small half, and he didn't eat it, but just quietly gave it to the two children in his arms.
"Then, did Brother Xiao eat, did those children eat?" Wang Zhuoran took the steamed bun in his hand, refused to take a bite for a long time, and asked again.
This is Captain Xiao Bai, who was leaning against the tree, said, "Zhuo Ran, don't ask so much, you eat quickly, we have to save our strength to protect this group of children, if we don't have the strength to protect this group of children, then they won't be able to live, do you know!" Captain Xiao's eyes were cold, but he stared at Wang Zhuoran with a damp scarlet!
Wang Zhuoran, the knife and axe hand, held the steamed bun in his hand hard, and pretended to be relaxed, "Then I listen to Brother Xiao, thank you Lao Lietou, your steamed bun is delicious but delicious, but you didn't take a bath with good wine, and the steamed bun made you stink, hahaha..."
"Brother Table Ran, you are no better than me, you also stink to death, and you are embarrassed to call me an old martyr," Wei Lie said and pinched his nose, as if Wang Zhuoran was even more stinky!
Captain Xiao Baili looked at his two brothers' favorite brothers, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, he understood why Wei Lie and Wang Zhuoran laughed at him, just wanted him to relax as a big brother, be a brother in this life, live and die together, and live up to life!
"Brothers, I'm back, don't you laugh at something, I'm happy to say it, hahaha..."
"Lao Cheng, you're back, did you bring any good news, say it, say it quickly..." Wei Lie hurriedly walked over, took the kettle in his hand, and handed the kettle to Wang Zhuoran, the knife and axe hand who was eating steamed buns.
Centurion Xiao also opened his eyes, and several people looked at the returning Cheng Yurong in unison.
Even though he was still very tired, he still said with a bright look on his face, "Brother Xiao, I found a good place where you can hide, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no problem with accommodating hundreds of children"!
Captain Xiao Centurion hurriedly asked, "Yes, that's great, you've worked hard!" ”
"Brother Xiao, where is this, our brother doesn't say this, guess what it is?" Cheng Yurong asked.
"Lao Cheng, when is it, just say it!"
"That's it, you're really ink, old man!"
Wei Lie and Wang Zhuoran couldn't help but scold.
Captain Xiao Baili looked at Cheng Yurong's full kettle and the slightly wet armor on his body, and said, "It has something to do with water, right, Lao Cheng!" ”
Cheng Yurong couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this, "Big brother is big brother, I can't hide anything from you!" ”
"There is a waterfall not far ahead, I found that there is a path that can go directly to the halfway of the waterfall, the entrance of the cave is extremely narrow, only one person can walk, it is a very large natural cave, we all hide in it without any problem, there is a secret, it is not easy to be found!" Saying that, Cheng Yurong hurriedly pointed in the direction of the waterfall.
"It's wonderful! This group of children can escape this catastrophe, and without further ado, we will set off and lead the way! As he spoke, Centurion Xiao gently woke up the children, and Wei Lie and Wang Zhuoran also walked over and led the children slowly towards the waterfall.
"Not good!" Captain Shaw snorted as he saw a number of torches lit in the distance and rushed towards them.
Wei Lie had a spear in his hand and said, "You go first, I'll break it later!" ”
Captain Xiao shook his head slightly, and said, "Lao Cheng, tell Zhuo Ran the route in detail, let him lead the way, and you stay behind!" ”
"Okay, Brother Xiao, you have a good look, it's like this..."After Cheng Yurong finished speaking, he took a branch and drew it on the ground, Wang Zhuoran listened carefully, and looked at the route on the ground carefully.
They are all veterans of decades of war, and they have crawled out of the pile of dead people countless times, and they are all human soldiers, and it is a trivial matter to remember a map route.
After a while, Wang Zhuoran said, "I know, I'll lead the way, Lao Cheng, be careful yourself," even if he hoped that the person who stayed behind the broken queen was himself, but he couldn't deny that it was the best choice for the crossbowman Cheng Yurong to stay after the break.
Wei Lie is a spearman, Wang Zhuoran is a knife and axe hand, these two are more powerful in hand-to-hand combat, but harassing, breaking off, delaying, and blocking the enemy is only him Cheng Yurong is the most suitable, because he is a crossbowman! Xiao Baili has the highest martial arts, he is a congenital master, and the rest are all acquired peak masters, and Xiao Baili is the backbone of everyone, and he must be in command and cannot leave!
Cheng Yurong tightly held the bow and crossbow in his hand, the weapon that had accompanied him for decades had melted into his soul, and every time he was invincible, this time was no exception!
"The crossbowman is a jade rong, and he obeys the orders of Centurion Xiao!"
As he spoke, he turned around and showed a reassuring smile, and said to Wei Lie and Wang Zhuoran, "Then I'll go, and the rest will depend on you, you two be careful, take care of this group of children, take care of... Brother Xiao! Before he could finish speaking, he turned and disappeared into the woods.
"Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng, me and you..." As soon as Wei Lie opened his mouth, he was stared at by Captain Xiao's stern eyes, so that he didn't dare to say any more...
Wei Lie felt very uncomfortable in his heart, because he knew what it meant after the break!
But he knew that Captain Shaw was more uncomfortable than him, because he arranged the people, and he gave the order!
"Let's go! Don't grind! The sword and axe hand Wang Ran took the lead in opening the way, and the spearman Wei Lie left behind you to pick up the children behind, and no one was left behind! ”
"Spearman Wei Lie, obey the orders of Centurion Xiao"!
"Knife and axe hand Wang Zhuoran, obey the order of Centurion Xiao"!
