Chapter 5: The Scourge of Killing
A pillar of incense time passed, and a human head suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff, and it rose higher and higher, and then a young man climbed up from under the cliff, this young man was Ye Ying, who the two jailers thought was impossible to survive.
When the two jailers revealed their murderous intentions, Ye Ying quickly thought in his mind, how to face the current situation?
I have been practicing martial arts with the three masters for two years, and although I have never really fought with anyone, I feel that it is still very possible for me to suddenly make a move, defeat these two jailers, and successfully get out.
But in this case, it is very likely to expose the fact that he knows martial arts, which several masters have repeatedly told him to keep secret. In this case, the only way to keep this secret is to kill the two jailers to silence them.
But after all, Ye Ying was just a teenager under the age of twelve, and if he wanted to kill someone, he really couldn't do it, and in his eagerness, he quickly had an idea.
Pretending to be frightened, retreating step by step, and finally "accidentally" falling off the cliff, these were all designed by Ye Ying in advance.
When the second master passed on his "gecko skill", he didn't know how many times he went up and down such a cliff, and this kind of cliff that ordinary people found very difficult to walk was no longer a problem for Ye Ying.
At the moment of falling off the cliff, Ye Ying quickly twisted his body, grabbed a protruding stone with both hands, and quickly pressed his body tightly against the cliff wall.
What happened next, just as Ye Ying imagined, the two jailers quickly appeared above Ye Ying's head, and they looked down the cliff in a panic, but they didn't notice the thin figure attached to the cliff wall at all.
But this is also normal, the two jailers never dreamed that this young man from a mountain village who looked a little thin actually had a stunt.
Ye Ying, who had climbed to the top of the cliff, looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that the two messengers had gone away, he went down the mountain as fast as he could, and the weak figure disappeared into the mountain road soon after.
"What, the person was not killed, and he fell into the cliff, so you went to the bottom of the cliff to check and make sure that the person died?" In the county seat, someone took the case.
What Ye Ying didn't expect was that after the two officers returned to the county seat, they were scolded by their top boss, the bearded officer, and even kicked each twice.
The two officers didn't expect that such a small matter would actually provoke the anger of their bosses.
What made them even more unexpected was that the bearded official immediately ordered all the officers who were currently in the county government to bring ropes and go to the bottom of the cliff as quickly as possible to see if Ye Ying had really fallen to his death.
Ye Ying didn't know anything about what happened in the county office, and at this time, he was going down the mountain road, preparing to go to Songzhou City, which was more than 100 miles away from here.
Songzhou City is the largest city in Songzhou Prefecture, where tens of thousands of troops are stationed, the purpose of Ye Ying's trip is to go to the military camp in the west of Songzhou City, to find the Ningyuan general Chen Zhi there, and the mysterious brocade robe man in prison asked him to pass on a message.
When Master Nine was teaching Ye Ying to read and write, he once told Ye Ying that a man must keep his promise and promise others must do it. Therefore, Ye Ying never went to Songzhou City, but he still went on the road alone.
Under the teaching of several masters, Ye Ying has been reborn in the past two years, but after all, he is only a child under the age of fourteen, and he is full of curiosity about everything in this world.
He had heard the story of the Eagle Liejun fighting the Northern Barbarian Army in the town, and he admired the general who led the troops to fight.
Now that he has the opportunity to see a general who commands the army with his own eyes, Ye Ying is very excited, he secretly speculates in his heart, this general must be tall and mighty, and his eyes must be as sharp as lightning, and unconsciously, the shadow of the general in his mind actually coincides with his second master.
Ye Ying grew up in a mountain village, he was very familiar with mountain roads, and his endurance was also good.
Seeing that it was dark, although he could continue to walk, in order to ensure that he had the strength to continue tomorrow, he still chose to rest under a tree by the roadside.
Spending the night alone in the suburbs is a very terrifying thing for his peers, but this kind of situation often happens to Ye Ying, and he has long been used to it.
In order to keep out the cold and avoid the attacks of wild beasts, he gathered some dry wood and used the fire sickle he carried with him to raise the fire, but fortunately when he was put in the cell, the servants did not take away his belongings, otherwise he would have had to stay cold for the night.
I experienced a lot of things this day, and after another day of traveling, the fatigue of my body made Ye Ying fall asleep quickly.
While he was sleeping, Ye Ying was suddenly woken up by the "rain", and he felt very puzzled. Since I practiced martial arts, my perception has become much stronger, why didn't I even predict the rain in advance?
Ye Ying opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was still full of moons and stars.
It didn't rain, so what was the water on your face? Ye Ying hurriedly looked around, and was suddenly taken aback, because there was an extra person in front of him at some point.
The person who appeared in front of Ye Ying was actually his acquaintance, the bearded official who led people to arrest him in the county government prison the day before yesterday.
In the process of being brought to the county seat, Ye Ying learned from the conversations of the officers. This bearded man surnamed Zhu is the head catcher of the small county where they are located.
Ye Ying was thinking that day, this beard is white and fat, and his face is a little round, looking at his appearance, this surname "pig" is very appropriate.
But now, the "pig" had a somewhat intimidating expression on his head, and there was a playfulness in his eyes, like a hunter looking at his prey that has fallen into his trap.
Seeing the "pig" head catcher standing in front of him, after a short period of surprise, Ye Ying was relieved. This person can be the head catcher of the county government, obviously has some kung fu, so he can appear in front of him unnoticed, which can also be explained.
The "pig" catcher was also secretly glad in his heart, and he sent people to search down the cliff, but he was never at ease. So he simply followed the road to Songzhou Mansion and chased it all the way, but he didn't expect to really catch up with Ye Ying.
Ye Ying never dreamed that these officers of the county government would not only kill themselves, but also spend so much effort to hunt down and kill themselves after learning the news that they might escape.
If he knew this, Ye Ying would definitely not light the fire, even if he was cold and cold, he would not invite death.
"You're not bad, you escaped here, but the result is still the same, just a few hours late." "Pig" head catcher pulled out the short knife on his waist and said coldly.
Ye Ying sighed lightly, it seems that it is not possible to do it without doing it, looking at it like this, the skill of this "pig" to catch the head should be above himself, and the next thing will be a vicious battle.
The "pig" didn't think too much about it, although the other party was a half-grown child, but if he wanted to let him go this time, he and the county magistrate might be killed, and even his family would be difficult to protect, so he would never show mercy.
Without much hesitation, the "pig" head catcher quickly approached Ye Ying, and with a fierce swing of the long knife in his hand, he slashed directly at Ye Ying's neck.
In the idea of "pig" catching heads, this half-grown child must not be able to block his knife, as if he had seen the scene of Ye Ying's head in a different place.
But the scene that appeared in the next moment was far beyond the expectations of the "pig" headcatcher, and he actually cut the air with this knife. Ye Ying's figure moved quickly, avoiding the knife that the "pig" head catcher thought was nine out of ten.
"You actually know martial arts, no wonder you dare to stand up for these people." Looking at Ye Ying standing beside him, the "pig" head catcher said with some surprise.
Ye Ying didn't answer the words of the "pig" headcatcher, because through the moment just now, Ye Ying already knew that the other party's skill was above his own. Although he also belongs to a first-rank martial artist like himself, the internal force in his body is much higher than his own.
"It seems that this battle must be handled carefully, otherwise, I will really lose my life here today." Ye Ying thought in his heart.
After practicing martial arts for two years, in addition to learning from several masters, sometimes the beasts in the fighting mountains have not really gone through the actual combat with people, and they didn't expect their first battle to be so dangerous.
"Although you know some three-legged cat kung fu, but when you meet me today, you still can't escape a dead word." After a short accident, the "pig" head catcher quickly calmed down.
The fight began again, and the "pig" head catcher was no longer careless and began to take the enemy in front of him seriously. The short knife in his hand quickly changed direction and beckoned to Ye Ying's chest and abdomen, if this knife was slashed, Ye Ying would definitely be disemboweled.
In the face of this danger, Ye Ying dodged the knife again, and picked up a stick on the side of the road, preparing to use it as his weapon.
"Who taught you kung fu? I can actually avoid the first form of my Wild Wave Knife Technique, but this can't save your life, my seven knives are more powerful than one knife, and I haven't met anyone who has survived five knives over the years. ”
"Pig" Catcher said with a sneer, but the movements in his hand did not stop, and another knife slashed towards Ye Ying, Ye Ying hurriedly blocked it with the wooden stick in his hand, wanting to block the opponent's attack. However, the wooden stick was cut off by the "pig" catcher, and the speed of the short knife slowed down, and it still went away from Ye Ying's waist.
In a hurry, Ye Ying immediately twisted his body and narrowly avoided the knife, but his waist was still swept by the blade, his clothes were torn, and a shallow blood mark appeared on his waist.
Although this knife did not hurt Ye Ying too much, it also surprised him, and he finally understood the fact that this "pig" was good at catching his head, and it was impossible for him to survive three more knives.
The wooden stick in his hand could no longer be used, and in his eagerness, he could only break off an inch-long sharp branch from the wooden stick as a weapon, holding it in his right hand and looking nervously at the enemy opposite, waiting for his next attack.
The "pig" head catcher didn't think too much about it, and the two attacks didn't take down the child, which made his face a little unbearable. With a flip of his wrist, the short knife in his hand attacked Ye Ying again.
In a fit of rage, the "pig" head catcher used ten successful forces in this attack, although the knife momentum was not fast, but it was whirring with the wind, and blocked almost all of Ye Ying's retreat.
If Ye Ying had a steel knife in his hand at this time, he might have blocked the opponent's attack with all his might, but at present, he only had a section of branches in his hand, and he couldn't block this knife.
The "pig" catcher also thinks so, this knife will not return in vain, although this young man is a little difficult, but he still has to be killed by himself.
But the next moment, the "pig" catcher was disappointed again, because his short knife slashed the air again, and when he stood still, he found that Ye Ying had appeared behind him.
This scene was completely unexpected by the "pig" headcatcher, and he quickly turned around, and once again raised the short knife in his hand, ready to carry out a sharper attack.
But at this moment, the "pig" head catcher felt some pain in his neck, and felt wet when he touched it, and then looked at his palm, which was actually bloody.
